The Alpha's Slave Mate

10. A Little Bit Demanding

Luna's POV

I am practically gazing at the beautiful beta in front of me with disbelief etched in my features, wondering whether I am actually to take heed of his words or just ignore them and go ahead with what I am doing.

Don't be stupid, Luna. He is just trying to trap you into some royalty sort of s**t. Don't fall for his tricks. I briefly think to myself as I snap my head away from his warm grasp, coming straight to my senses.

"Um, thank you so much for the kind, friendly gesture, Beta Lucian, but I guess I have to return to my duties right now, and I am so sorry. Your presence here is causing me serious distraction."

I watch as he squints his eyelids, examining me deeply for a short while, as if not believing my reaction. Then he chuckles and stares at the ground for a little while. I watch as he toys with his lips with his sharp white teeth, before slowly tilting his head to look up at me. Then he chuckles.

"well, Kale was right. You are, really, really shocking, and man, I can't even begin to explain you. I can tell you are going to be some type of hard puzzle to crack but I am not willing to give up just yet. I'm going to take my time. I'm going to be back, but I'll give you time to breathe and attend to what you need to do. You should get ready for me. You will be seeing more of me these days." he says as he slowly begins to walk backward.

Okay, I do not understand what is going on here. What the hell did he mean I'm going to be a tough nut to crack? What did he mean by he's going to be back? What did he mean for me to prepare for him? I feel so confused right now. I don't know what to think as I look at him with a very heavy frown while he slowly makes his way out of the kitchen. I feel so confused right now as I look at him with a very heavy frown while he slowly makes his way out of the kitchen, shutting the door briskly after him.

Oh goddess, this is just my first day of working here, and I am already going through all this. What sort of other encounters am I going to go through in the next? Only God knows how long I'm going to be stuck in this mansion that I do not want to be in.

I find myself relaxing against one of the basins in the kitchen, rubbing my palms slowly and softly against my forehead. The headache had kind of increased a little bit, and I could feel some sort of shivers running through my body.

What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I suddenly feel the urge to throw up? I wonder to myself as I slowly turn around and drop the tray in my hand against the basin.

I look at it for a little while. I will need to dispose of this. Then I have to cut the fish and prepare the afternoon meal before Kael and Ava arrive from wherever they go.

I am thinking about this when everywhere suddenly becomes heavily dizzy, I mean heavily dizzy in a way that it feels like I am carrying the weight of the entire world on my shoulders. I feel practically heavy, finding it hard to move even a single finger. The only thing supporting me right now is the basin I am leaning on.

What the hell is going on? I think to myself as I look up. The ceiling seems to be spinning endlessly in my eyes as I blink rapidly, trying as much as I can to regain my sanity. What exactly is going on right now?

I turn to the left. The entire kitchen now seems to be spinning, and I raise my hand, trying to see if I can gain hold or something to restore my footing, but I'm losing control of myself.

I blink rapidly. What is this? What is going on? I think to myself before realizing that I am now falling backward against the very floor of the kitchen.

I have already given up all hope in regaining my stance. I have imagined my head, probably smashing against the cold, tiled floor of the kitchen. Maybe someone is going to come in to see my dead body and then what is going to happen next is probably my burial or something.

I am unable to finish my thoughts of death and lose hope when I feel strong, muscular, sturdy hands suddenly take hold of my back,k, keeping me from impacting with the flow, or the next thing I feel is a strong, long, warm body clinging tightly towards me.

I slowly tilt my head to see Lucian holding me against himself with his large arms wrapped tight around me.

"I knew this was going to happen. Ava's slap can be a little bit demanding whenever she is furious. I know you cannot just go unharmed without that slap having a deep impact on you. I am surprised you managed to stand up to this extent. A few slaves would have already fainted right from the moment she gave them that slap," he says calmly as he lifts me in his hands.

"I am so sorry about this pretty little slave, but you are going to fall heavily sick after this. Allow me to take care of you." He says as he begins to slowly take me out of the kitchen.

"Please put me down." I managed to say, but then he didn't listen.

"There is no way you'll be able to walk if I put you down. You should have noticed that by now, you are not in a very good state to do any sort of work, so I will need to take you to the guest room or probably your room, where you can relax and gain control of yourself. You are not in a good state right now." He says but I am practically stubborn to listen to him.

The only thing on my mind right now is the duty that I need to fulfill before Kael or Ava returns. Ava especially. She's not going to have mercy on me. She's going to kill me. She is craving for my death in this house. Alpha Kael is the only thing keeping her from strangling the living daylight out of me. I can't fall into her trap right now. I can't.

I find myself struggling relentlessly in Lucian's arm, trying to break free so that he will have no choice but to drop me so I can walk on my own.

He groans with determination. "Stop being so stubborn and stay in one place, okay? Goodness, I have never encountered someone as resilient as you. Don't you get it that you are not in the proper state of mind to attend to any activities?" He requests, but I am not listening to him.

"Okay, fine, fine. Since that is what you want, I'm going to give it to you." he declares and briskly drops me on the ground.

After a few minutes, he lets go of me and I feel the earth beneath my leg. Then, within a few while, my knee immediately unbuckles and the entire world suddenly turns black before my eyes.
