Rejected Human Slave

Chapter 9

IVAN

.

I thrashed and convulsed repeatedly on my huge master's wooden framed bed that was built with the finest woods of all the lands.

My eyes finally snapped open as I began to familiarize myself with my surrounding. It took me some minutes to realize that I was in my own bedroom. My own chambers that screams of nothing but wealth and uniqueness that accentuates my entire personality.

Working in two lands has really helped in improving my taste when it came to furniture and merchandise because the beauty of the Druid tower cannot be compared to other houses. It simply cannot be overemphasized. Those who has lived through the entire legacy can attest to that.

My eyes darted towards the window in my chambers and that's when I realized that it was almost evening time. I can't believe that I had slept for a very long time.

I closed my eyes for a brief second as i felt the headache coming in. It's always like this whenever I wake up from a tragic nightmare. A nightmare that is big enough to rob me of my sleep and keep me awake most of the night.

Forcing myself to stand up, I stepped into the bathroom to have my bath. When i was done, i threw on one of my regal black robe that has been picked out for me before letting my dark flowing hair fall loose over my shoulders.

I decided to take an evening stroll in the fields to clear my head.

A lot of things were running through my mind at present and I didn't know which to settle for.

Did I do the right thing by sending her back to her pack?

Eric was right. If I don't get another mate after this rejection then I might wind up as a rogue and my entire legacy would be over. But she was a human.

A weak, fragile human female.

What am I supposed to do with someone as weak as she is?

I walked past the part of the fields where the ixora's were scattered. I don't like these flowers one bit because they were my mother's favourite plant. I lost my mother when I was only an infant and looking at them, reminded me of her as I tried to picture what she would look like in my head.

Bending down, I picked one and sniffed but the scent of that woman blinded my nostrils.

"Mine!" My wolf growled out

I sighed in defeat. Why was the wolf still thinking about that woman when I had already rejected her? Shouldn't he be by my side and support my decision?

It was at that moment, I perceived Eric's scent. I turned to see him running towards me. My wolf could smell his agitation anger.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly "Did something happen to the female?" I added sharply.

Why would I ask that question in the first place.

As suspected, Eric looked at me in a weird manner that I couldn't comprehend.

"You're thinking about her?" He asked with a surprised look in his face.

"The wolf is, not me. He has been on the edge ever since I woke up and I don't know what to do to pacify him." I brushed him off. "Tell me what happened" I repeated the question when he doesn't say anything.

"One of our guards at the border was murdered."

My face tightened in a tight frown at the revelation. "What did you just say?"

"I tried to mind link you but you weren't listening so I decided to run down here instead." He complained bitterly.

I couldn't blame him though. My mind has been so preoccupied with thoughts of that woman that I had managed to block out other communication thoughts without even realizing it.

"Where is the wolf?" I asked instead, completely ignoring his previous outburst.

"This way." Eric ordered and walked away leaving me to follow.

We ran towards the direction of where the guards had been murdered. He was lying there lifeless with a dagger stabbed in his chest. It was a bloody sight go behold and I couldn't help but get angry at what had happened.

"How did this happen?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"I don't know Alpha king but I think that it was someone from the neighbouring pack or maybe an enemy pack. Either ways, it was a brutal death" he explained, eyes still glued to the body of the dead guard.

"Did you manage to figure out who it might be? Did anyone see it happen?"

"No Alpha King. I think it was an ambush of some sort. We couldn't catch the intruder because he was already gone before I was alerted about what had happen."

"And there was no scent to tail him?" I pressed on.

"Nothing Alpha King. Even if he had one, it was masked because I couldn't pick out any scent when I arrived."

I nodded once. "Make arrangements for the body to be buried and summon the council for an emergency meeting." I ordered with a stern voice.

"Yes my lord."

He turned to go but I stopped him.

"The human slave? Where is she?" I asked and he turned to face me squarely.

"She's gone" he answered with an air of finality.

"Gone?"

"She somehow managed to locate where I lived and since you said that you wanted absolutely nothing to do with her, I sent her back to her pack." He informed me "The poor girl was relieved that she wouldn't be a burden to you anymore and also asked me to thank you for rejecting her"

I nodded slowly. "It was for the best."

"Keep telling yourself that till you believe it" he sneered at me and I was fighting to urge to punch him hard on the face.

"If you don't mind, I'll be leaving now to carry out your bidding." He turned and left almost immediately.

Put yourself back together Ivan. She's a human slave that you have rejected and she had safely gone back to her pack so there's nothing to bother yourself with anymore.

ADELAIDE

.

I was finally let out of the cellar. It was the most excruciating experience that I have ever had and I am so glad that it was finally over.

The Alpha King had been so reluctant to release me but he later got to change his mind because there was a pile of stuff already waiting for me to work on.

The minute I was released, I took a cold shower and ate the leftovers from the kitchen. I then proceeded to begin the chores that was already assigned to me in my absence.

I cleaned, scrubbed, did the laundry and cooked for the other members of the pack as well. Even though it was hard work, it was still better than being locked up in that disgusting cellar.

I finished my chores and decided to rest in the storage where I was meant to sleep. It was at that moment that a guard came to wake me up.

When I had asked what had happened, he said that I was being summoned by Randall.

Oh goodness! What does he want with me now?

I swallowed a lump that had formed on my throat and made my way towards his chambers. When I arrived, I knocked on the door softly and he let me in.

I don't like being alone with him. He was the cause of my predicament the last time and I don't want to get wind up in another trouble.

I spotted him shirtless on the bed the minute I got in and when he acknowledged my presence, he stood up and walked towards me.

"I thought that you would come to thank you for rescuing you from that cellar but you didn't. Is that any way to repay my kindness?" He drawled amusingly.

He rescued me from the cellar?

I should've known. The Alpha King wasn't as kind hearted as to let me out, Randall did that to gain some leverage over me. He did that to ruin me and make me feel worthless.

"You think that my father gives a s**t about you?" He glared at me "I own you Adelaide and you'll have to pay for rejecting me at that party."

"I didn't do anything wrong." I tried to protest.

"If you didn't. If only you had been a good girl and did as you were told then we wouldn't be in this mess but you decided to f**k things up as the b***h you are and now, you're going to pay."

He walked up to his bed and picked up an attire and threw it at me.

"Wear this. You owe me a show" he smirked at me.

I scanned through the dresses he threw at me only to notice that they were all skimpy attires. He expects me to get dressed in this.

"It's either you wear them or I send you back to the cellar."

Breathing heavily, I turned to leave but he stopped me.

"In there my little slut." He pointed towards his bathroom and I cringed. I can't believe that I've been reduced to nothing but a slut.

Swallowing hard, I retracted my steps and made for his bedroom to change.

I don't want to do this but I do not have a choice. It's either I do as I'm told or suffer the consequences. Either ways, none of them is favourable but the latter seemed a bit more better than the last.
