The Alpha's Slave Mate

5. Better In The Slave Camp

Luna's POV

After a few moments of gathering my courage, I step out of the kitchen and shut the door to realize that the entire large living room is empty.

I stumble over to where my luggage is and pick it up from its staggered position when a sharp, quick voice catches my attention.

" Hello, are you the new maid that got into this building?" I briskly turn sharply to face the well-dressed, respectable-looking man looking as official as ever in his tailored tuxedo suit, gazing at me with an official expression.

I nod my head briskly. "Yes, I am."

" I am the butler of this building and I have been instructed by Alpha Kael to lead you to your quarters. Come with me with me immediately." He replies quickly without waiting for my response as he leads me across the large living room to a section of the building.

He didn't lead me to the stairs, and this made me know that the staircase is probably where the Alpha's bedroom and guest room and all the important rooms of the building are.

He leads me through a very long corridor that has rows of doors on each side. I know there must be different rooms in each of them. He takes me to the last room at the far end of the long corridor and stands before a door.

"You are welcome to your room," he says and opens the door, revealing a little but very comfortable, manageable-sized bedroom that can be easily mistaken as the bedroom of a kid or something.

I know this must be one of the lowest rooms, and the richest and most important people can't be expected to stay here, but this right now looks like heaven compared to where I've been staying, and I would gladly accept it.

I smile as I immediately stumble in and toss my luggage against the bed.

"Make yourself comfortable." the butler bows and leaves immediately without closing the door for me as I begin to unpack, gazing at the structure of the room with enthusiasm and happiness as I have never felt before.

Wow!

I am still unpacking with the happiness coursing through my body when a very sharp noise jolts my attention. It is Ava, and she is now standing at the entrance of my wide-open door with her hand on the door, letting me know that she must have slammed her fist on the door to call my attention.

"Hey, don't get so relaxed and all comfy right now. Your duty has already begun and you haven't gotten to the end of it. I have something I need you to do for me at the garage. Follow me right now immediately." She declares, and I am stunned, watching her as she turns and walks away briskly without waiting for my response.

Is she kidding me right now? I haven't even unpacked yet.

I gulp down hard as I glance at her and look back at my luggage on the bed with confusion. Who am I supposed to listen to right now?

A bite hard against my lip, about to drop the clothes, when she sharply turns her head to look at me.

" Are you deaf?" She requests sharply. "Didn't you hear what I just asked?" She says and turns back towards me walking towards me with fury and fire embedding her expressions.

I immediately drop the clothes and begin to walk closer towards her.

" I am so sorry. I just wanted to drop the clothes..."

Before I can complete my sentence, a very sharp slap explodes all over my face, sending me stumbling and crashing against the bed, losing control of my stamina.

"It seems like you don't know your place, you little stinking t**t. The next time I give you an instruction and you fail to listen to me, I promise you that a slap is going to be little compared to what I would give to you. Now get up there and follow me immediately!!" She declares, and I rub my cheeks, trying to contain the pain that is searing through my head.

A very slight headache hits my brain and this causes me to stumble. Everywhere suddenly, she feels dizzy, and I know she must have exerted so much power in rendering me that slap. A power that must have originated from the fury and the hatred she is blatantly bearing towards me.

I don't know why she decided to treat me like this. I never stated that I had any interest in her husband-to-be. Why is she treating me like I'm someone who is trying to take over her position? I do not like this one bit, and it suddenly brings a heavy amount of sorrow to my chest.

I struggle and fight within myself to contain the overbearing emotions raging through my chest. Slight tears are threatening to slip out of my eyes, but I shake my head to brush it away. I am not going to cry in front of her. I am not going to grant her the pleasure of seeing me look like some little child who would begin to act so little before her.

I wipe my face immediately and get up from the bed, avoiding her eyes as I stand up immediately and bow to her.

"I am so sorry, Miss Ava. I promise I won't do that again."

" Good!" She replies sharply and points towards the entrance of the door. "Now, come with me if you don't want to receive double what you just received." She orders sharply and she is about to move when we behold the authoritative presence of Alpha Kael, standing at the entrance of the room.

He is leaning against the door frame with an annoyed expression on his face. The moment she sees him, she retreats a little bit and begins to fiddle with her fingers, avoiding his gaze.

He sighs, looking disappointed.

"So, can you take your time to explain to me the meaning of these actions of yours, Ava?" He asks with a calm demeanor and I can observe the fear and trembling in her countenance as she tries to avoid his eyes, acting a little bit submissive right now that he is here.

It somehow gives me a heavy amount of joy to see how powerless she can be whenever Alpha Kael appears.

Wow. The lioness submits!!!

"It's nothing, I was just trying to direct her towards her duty." She replies immediately and he scoffs.

He shuts his eyes and shakes his head, obviously looking disappointed by her actions.

"Okay then, it seems like you do not understand the purpose of all this, so I'm going to explain it plainly to you. You are on no account given the authority to order the slave around as much as you please. She is not your slave; she is mine, and I brought her in personally for myself. If you feel you need someone to serve you and attend to your needs, you are free to go to the slave camp. The distance is not far from the castle, only a few minutes walk and you will be there instantly. There are millions and multiple slaves for you to pick your choice, take one, and the slave is going to serve you as you wish, not this one, this is mine. Do you understand that?" He requests sharply and I watch her as she nods her head reluctantly.

" Now get out." He orders sharply and she hesitates for a little while, looking up slowly at him.

"I do not understand..."

" Get out." He replies immediately, cutting her short from her words.

She bites hard against her lower lip and nods her head calmly before stepping out of the room, but then she stops a few meters away from him and turns back to look at me with a warning glare in her eyes. Then she stomps out of the room furiously.

Alpha Kael slowly tilts his head to watch her retreating figure before sighing and rubbing his fingers against his forehead with frustration.

"Since when did she decide to become such a pain in the ass?" He mutters to himself. Then he directs his beautiful eyes towards me and it makes me jolt a little bit.

I look away from him with a deep frown on my face. He chuckles.

"Stop being so depraved and little. Unpack your luggage and get settled in. I'm going to have mercy on you. You can take a rest and relax for today, but your duty begins tomorrow, and I must not come here to wake you up by 5 a.m. If I get here to wake you up, you are not going to like what I'm going to do to you." He declares authoritatively and walks away, but not without shutting the door after him.

I finally relax after trying to contain the relief of the presence of these domineering individuals that have invaded the room a few minutes ago.

The Royals have no care or concern towards the feelings of any slave, and I know that living with them is going to take a huge toll on me, one that I am greatly going to regret in the future.

Oh, moon Goddess, I just wish that attack never happened, my life would have been better in the slave camp, I think to myself with sorrow slowly embedding my features.
