The Alpha's Slave Mate

3. Beyond Surplus

Luna's POV

I am still standing beside his car, not even flinching in the slightest while we maintain eye contact, staring endlessly at each other.

I watch him as he squints his eyelids at me and then chuckles before briefly looking away for a few minutes and then returning his face to me. I can tell that he is perplexed by my actions. He is not expecting that a mere slave would dare him this much, but hell, I don't care. The hatred I have for him has made me develop some sort of determination within me never to respect him or care for him in any sort of way, and I don't give two shits about it.

" I am waiting for you, young little slave. The door is open. Get in, so I can take you to my mansion and direct you to your duties." He orders sharply, but then, I don't know what comes over me. I fold my arms and continue to look up at him without blinking for once.

His face suddenly looks red and I can tell that his rage is brewing, but hell, I don't care. He suddenly takes hold of my shoulder and with a swift movement, he pins me against the car sharply, bringing his face only a few meters away from me, causing me to gasp with shock.

I wasn't expecting him to do that.

" What the hell do you think you are, you little cunt?" He asks as he squints his iris at me. His pupils are glowing already revealing his alpha nature. I gulp down hard and struggle to maintain my composure, feeling my heartbeat palpitating endlessly without control in my chest.

Goodness me, he knows how to scare the wits out of someone. I think to myself as I continue to stare at him with wide perplexed eyes. He scoffs and shakes his head.

" You are going to pay for this, I can assure you. No mere slave of mine disobeys my orders and gets away with it," he declares, brushing his thumb slowly against my lip, and for some strange reason, that sends shivers through my spine, forcing me to gasp as I quickly pull my mouth away from his fingers. He chuckles and shakes his head.

"You are one stubborn, arrogant b***h, aren't you?" He asks and nods his head calmly. "Don't worry, like I said earlier, I'm going to tame you, but now is not the time for that. I have important businesses to attend to. So before I close my eyes and open it, you get in the car right now."

I look at him for a short while without moving and he is completely shocked.

"Are you seriously kidding me right now? Get in the car, young lady," he orders sharply, forcing me to jolt, as I slowly turn my head to get into the vehicle.

"Well, well, well, what is going on here?" I hear some sort of sharp female voice that jolts me a little bit and forces me to stop with my right foot already in the vehicle.

"Kael, baby, what is going on?" I frown slightly before slowly turning around to behold one of the most gorgeous, beautiful ladies I have ever seen in my life.

Recognition hits me hard also. I gulp down hard and immediately step away from the vehicle as quickly as I can, with fear coursing through my veins.

Oh goddess, I know her. Every one of the slaves knows her. Every single one of us dreads her. We know the poison she carries in her hands. We know the danger she spits out from her eyes. We all know her. She is the proposed Luna to Alpha Kael, the one who is supposed to marry him and bear his heir in the future. And she is one bloody, heartless, brutal b***h.

She is known for most of the killings of some of the slaves whenever they disobey direct orders from her. She has this cruel, heartless method of torturing and punishing them to death. Every one of the slaves knows, so we have always detested and avoided her presence in the best way we can. No one even wants to have anything to do with her. She has planted the seed of fear into the hearts of every slave in the slave camp that just the sight of her sends everyone running in different directions.

I recoil a little bit looking around as if I can find a place to hide when she finally comes to a stop directly beside Kael, wrapping her arms around his.

"Hello baby, what is going on here?" She requests, once again, darting her eyes from Kael back to me at intervals and I am forced to stare at the ground, biting endlessly against my lower lip.

Oh Goddess, help me, I need to get out of here as fast as I can, I think to myself before looking up abruptly with an impulse running through my body.

"Anyways, I think my job here is done; I would like to return to my duty," I say as quickly as I can before turning towards the entrance of the slave camp. But Alpha, Kael's hand is quick enough to take hold of mine, dragging me back and keeping me in place beside his vehicle.

" You have no right to walk out on your Alpha and your Luna to be in that manner. Show some respect," he orders sharply, forcing me to blink rapidly.

I immediately fall to the ground to my knees and bow to the two of them.

" I am so sorry, my Alpha, I am so sorry." I say. "my apologies, my Luna. I was just..."

"Shut up." She says sharply, forcing me to keep my mouth.

She turns to Kael who is giving her an indifferent look.

"Baby, can you please come clean and explain to me what the hell is going on here in the first place? What are you doing with her and why was she about to step in your car?" She requests with a forceful tone that makes me know that even Alpha Kale would not be able to withstand that insult. And just like the strong, determined, and strong-hearted Alpha he is, he does not seem fazed by her sentence.

He turns and gives her one quick side glance.

"I was just taking her to my mansion to begin her duties there," he says and she squints her eyelids at him.

" I don't understand. Why would you want to take this filthy slave to your mansion? Her duties are in the slave camp, not in the mansion. What the hell are you thinking? What do you want me to do when she starts seducing you?"

Alpha Kael rolls his eyes and immediately detaches his hand away from hers. "Look, the fact that I decided to get married to you doesn't mean you should begin to take matters into your own hands ever. I am merely doing this because it is what I am supposed to do and it is my right as the Alpha of this kingdom. Don't push me to my limits and talk to me as if you have the right to order me around."

I watch as she immediately submits and then bows slowly towards him. "I am so sorry, my Alpha," she says and then he smirks before turning towards me.

"I decided because the slave camp was attacked today and nearly all the slaves were maimed. I even had to struggle my best to protect her. So the new plan is to take all slaves into our buildings so we can watch over them within our sight in case of any enemy attack so they don't come using them as a means to terrorize our kingdom. Understood?" He asks and she nods her head swiftly.

"Yes, my Alpha."

Wow, I never knew that this b***h had it in her to submit but well, no one has a choice when it comes to the almighty Alpha Kael. He is the lord of all and disobeying his orders feels like disobeying the moon goddess herself.

He chuckles and then directs his focus back to me. "Step into the car right now."

This time, I don't even know whether to listen to him or listen to the blaring fury that is blasting against my face from Ava's eyes. I gulp down hard and begin to look at the both of them with confusion.

"Are you going to listen to her or are you going to listen to me, your Alpha?" Alpha Kael asks again, and this time, I do not hesitate as I immediately step into the car. He shuts the door after me and then glances at her.

"Do you have any plan to tag along with us or are you just going to stand there looking at me like some ugly sort of statue?"

Wow. That was harsh.

He said that with a lack of care, and I noticed the pain in her expression as she clenched her fists, glaring hard at him. She finally scoffs and steps forward getting into the passenger seat of the vehicle as he holds the door open for her.

The moment she has gotten in, he shuts the door and then shakes his head, walking around the vehicle before stepping into the driver's seat. I can notice the mind-twisting fury in the eyes of Ava Miles as she glares at me through the rearview mirror of the vehicle.

The expression in her eyes speaks volumes and I know that I am doomed in this mansion, I am going to. I need to do something fast. My life is about to enter a very deep heavy mess that I might not be able to crawl out of.

I gulp.

I finally gather my boldness and immediately tap against Alpha Kael's seat. "Alpha Kael, can you please drop me? I think I forgot something back in the camp..."

" No, you didn't forget anything and I know that this is one of your tricks to escape. You are staying right here. Whatever you need will be attended to when you get to the mansion."

"Seriously?" Ava speaks once again and Alpha Kael gives her a look that makes her shut her mouth immediately, looking briskly away from him.

He then scoffs and rolls his eyes before staring ahead of him and then kickstarting the ignition of the vehicle.

Oh goddess, bless me, my hell is beyond surplus. What am I going to do?
