Alpha’s Rejected Slave 

         

                          Chapter Three

                         (An old friend)

                             Sheila’s POV 

      

      “Husband?” His lips twitch into a terrible grin.

      “Yes I have a husband. Am I not entitled to get married?”

   “What a slow conniving betraying slave! All this time you had a lover and kept deceiving me. Now tell me who is he? What does he do? How rich is he? Is he another Alpha, tell me!” His hoarse voice rang in the entire cell that almost made my legs turn into jelly but him being an Alpha doesn’t scare me at all in my heart all I felt was pity and remorse for what my love has done to him but fear?

  I traded it a long time ago. The only person that was my weakness made it to the afterlife so nothing scares me anymore.

   “I owe you nothing of that information which you do seek. My personal life is mine and mine only.”

    “It’s true slaves weren’t just bed-wenches, they could be ambitious as well. Sheila, your innocent look can sway any unsuspecting man but I know you too well to know the damage you've caused me all these years. Locking you up can’t repay all I’ve suffered at your hands. You ran away after using me right into your lover's arms and got married. What a smart move.” 

  His words hit me worse than a sword slicing me in half. 

 He should know me better than that. Using my body to get my means wasn’t my style but people change and for him to think the worst of me he definitely had forgotten and buried our friendship.

   “My husband isn’t an Alpha and if he is, that shouldn’t be your business. My life it’s my own to do what I wish your approval or disapproval doesn’t concern me.”

   “Hahahaha…” Tagon laughed hysterically, making me startled and confused, my arms steadying my weight so I didn't fall, my hurting legs were growing numb and his interrogation wouldn’t stop.

“I spent years looking for you, searching every pack of the world, turning every city and village known and unknown to find you. I saw your letter and couldn’t believe you could hate me so much. My heart and feelings were all wrong. I felt you were pressured to lie and run away from me, from what we shared and the promises made to each other but I was wrong. You hid away, all this was your ploy while you romanced your lover while I kept on day after day hoping to find you and bring you back to me. Your eyes say it all filled with deceit and manipulation. I’ll bring hell to your feet and today marks your doom.”

   “Tagon…”

    “I am your Alpha don’t you dare address me as such if you don’t want your head hanging on a spike cause I’d love to watch your blood drain to the floor and that rotten soul of yours I believed to be my friend. Sheila I would have given up my throne to elope with you if you wanted it, there is nothing you would have demanded of me that I wouldn’t do within my powers. I dedicated my heart, body and soul to your feet but no that wasn’t good enough. Like the saying, taking a pig out of the mud won’t take the mud out of the pig, now I know why your kind are seen as the rejects of earth. Sheila, whether my fathers slave or mine, you're a slave and that’s your fate. You can’t escape who you are and born to be. And just like the laws state a slave you’re born and a slave you shall die. I will take you back to White Peak Mountain and your sorrows will begin welcome to a fresh start.” 

    His words filled me with dread. That minute the air around us became toxic, my nostrils were struggling to breathe properly, my heart constricted painfully and the pain in my bleeding foot didn’t help either. 

    “Kill me! Just go ahead and kill me but I don’t want to go back there?” My lips shivered as he stared brutal daggers while he encircled around me like a predator to its favourite prey. 

  The way his eyes roamed my body from my hair to my toes, the huff of his nostrils, the brilliant way he walked had an inexplicable effect on my senses and the way my body responded.

     It responded with forbidden need.

    “Are you scared now? I thought you were brave all along with no care for what you have done. Sheila read my lips I will never let you slip from my grasp ever again and your husband should better start living without you cause you are never going back to the town and to him. And if he dares to come look for you in my Pack, my kingdom, the earth would reject his dead body when I’m through chopping every of his being.” His eyes glowing fiery hot as he spoke, his wide huge arms flexing in the air as he huffed with pride and pure vengeance.

     A wounded man.

  I knew Tagon too well that he doesn’t make empty promises, he never lied, he was too honest to a fault.

  My mind's eyes took a little flashback to what it meant to be a slave, the agony, despair, the lashings, concubines and acts of pleasure slaves were subjected to no one deserves to go through so much suffering and the reason I'll fight to get it eradicated.

  “I’m the worst woman in history, yes! Take your anger on me and burn me to hell. Let my carcass fall on your feet but a life of slavery isn’t what I want to partake in ever again!”

   “Death?” He questioned with a friendly grin.

       “Killing you is an easy pass to the damages you have done. Only I can decide when you die and how you die and when that time arrives I’ll do a great honor by sending you to the afterlife and your mother after you.”

  Did he mention mother? Whose mother? Was my ears playing tricks on me.. hot tears were threatening to fall.

  “My mother was killed by your father. Her body was set on fire. What are you talking about?!” She half yelled in shock and disbelief.

     “Salina is Alive. She is held under my custody.”

     He threw the bomb.

    Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Four Tagon’s POV (14 year old Tagon) Just like mother will say some were born with fates and some others fought for their destinies while the greatest have to fight for their destinies even while born with fates. From the womb I suppose so much must be expected of me. A son to takeover as an Alpha, rule over my subjects, make decisions that will affect lives and families. Never to let matters of the heart get in the way of my ambition and duties. I learned from a tiny age that life could be brutal, painful, and cruel. The path of becoming an Alpha wasn’t an easy one, a life filled with thorns, power, and duties wasn’t an easy one. Today I finally made my father proud of me. My father, the Alpha, like every parent has expectations with their cub. And being the highest authority he held very high expectations so high I felt unworthy of being his son. At the age

So far things have been good. It’s a spectacle how much can be done exercising the right amount of authority. Nails clawed at the golden goblet filled with expensive rare wine as a sip slipped into my lips and set the goblet on a table. “Is that all to report?” “Yes, my lord.” My Beta was about to leave to attend to other matters of the day when the Pack door was spread apart. “My lord we did as you ordered.” The guards humbly said in unison with their left knee to the floor. “Set the room ready when I call.” I command with a devilish grin on my crooked lips. They nodded and took their leave. “Tagon what are you up to?” he asks with dismay written on his pale face. H

Yes, the dungeon. As was customary until the slave induction date I had no business contacting the outside world, the chamber I woke up in wasn’t mine but the healer’s and I stayed during the course of my treatment. Tagon never made an appearance after that day he came but I knew he’ll be inquisitive to know about my well-being and how my body was healing. The broth didn’t change in taste but I kept on drinking as was demanded to heal better. And when I was better two guards returned me back to the dungeon and the first thing my eyes noticed was the filth in here was gone, a mat with a woolen shaw

Mother must be kept somewhere no one have an idea of except for him. I’d work harder more than my strength I’d do what he asks of me and live pathetically if that would give him the kick and idea that he had broken me but he won’t know what’s coming till I find her and take her without a trace.The ladies were appointed to different tasks for the day and there was no need to guess that they were newly brought in slaves.

It burnt hotter than hell and it was like he lived hoping to conquer and wreck revenge. Our childhood wasn’t the best. I was hoping to never fail this pack as I kept on learning and following the teachings to work hard to become Beta. Our childhood was filled with hard work and expectations but on Tagon’s the pressure to supersede his father was driving him nuts and when he started drifting away I knew it had to do with someone.Someone who made him smile more times than necessary had him sneaking at odd hours to see.

His fingers slowly moved to my lips brushing them as he stuck his finger into my lips and removed it. He stared into my eyes and for a minute I could catch an emotion surging through him and next second it was gone just an emotionless being. He pulled away. My tongue was itching to ask him concerning the slave bank. White Peak in the past supplied slaves to other kingdoms; why did he have it banned? Was it because it repulsed him? I’ve been around the slave quarters and their living standards have improved tremendously. Their food was rich with proteins, their clothes were neat and it was hard seeing anyone hurt. How do I go about finding out about this? Asking too much from Diana can rub off wrongly and I’d hate to traumatize that young maiden any further. She loves White Pe

So you see we may not be at the bottom forever.” She smiled, comforting my little heart. And those words stuck. Those were the words I asked my mother as a young six year old child new to the world I was born into and the reply of my mother's response. For the coming days I’ve been watched like a hawk, my tasks multiplied and my food meagerly portioned. Santiago has made it his mission to make me crumble at any point he gets the chance if he doesn’t scream down the roof on me wasting time, he knocks off my food and makes sure I get nothing to eat after working so hard on an empty stomach but so I retire for the nights with a growling stomach.

Tagon has faltered and my desire has kept us driven through the odds but this past few weeks has gotten me shaken to the core foundation on my principles. Hiding the secret that has eaten me alive and will do so dead and buried in my prestigious grave. My face scrunched into a whirlpool of bitter emotions cracking the thin layer of optimism I engulfed myself in.

I’ll act so good and vulnerable and he’ll least suspect it when my arrows come flying. I’ll do whatever it means to keep him, play the low card and definitely get my only obstacle to my future, and dreams out of the way. Sheila is living on borrowed time. I can’t wait till she breathes her last and is gone for good. Forever! All my life no man has ever made me feel weak, strong and happy like the way Tagon makes me.

Her hair bounced in a short bob and her back pressed to the door as her eyes glimmered with passion- and lust in the dimly lit room. “Rosalia,” She swayed her lips sexily, playing with the ropes of her gown while rolling her hips to a non playing rhythm. She flipped her hair and ran a finger into her strands making it a sexy mess. Her fingers moved to the ropes of her garments and in slow progression pulled them off her naked body and stepped out of it catching my gaze in hers with a smile as my eyes traveled the ridges of her chest, her round puckered tips the valley between her thighs, and the smell of her arousal. Her fingers drew a long line from her chest down to her womanl

I'd like to know where they meet, what they discuss and how often they do it.” I noticed a twitch in his eyes at the mere mention of Rosalia’s name but as soon as it sprang up it disappeared back into his usual act. “And your reason?” “He’s a new trainer.

Turning away from the halls before I do something dangerous and gust everywhere in flames and anarchy I marched to the slave quarters. Why haven’t I noticed her need to find alienation tactics?

The morning before I left, hurrying back to the slave quarter, I knew my bed and I had picked up my uniform and hurriedly went to the working field. The stares from the rest of the females didn’t affect me. If they knew the trials I've encountered then their little hurtful stares were nothing. The work wasn’t too tasking but the sun decided to burn too hot that left sweat running all over my back, forehead and palm. I finished up and went to the bathing stall to wash. After that, I returned to my quart

One minute you could feel your life almost getting back on track and your happiness too much to contain and next you could end up broken, sad and lonely. Mine has been worse than cruel every turn of my life has been met with sad blows, knives, arrows, thorns and I’ve bled till I’ve lost what it meant to truly live.

Growing up in the slave quarters sleeping on a hard cold floor was the normal routine, being able to sleep with food on your stomach and a warm shawl around your neck was considered a privilege. A terrible existence words fail to describe how it felt and waking up to see how things have changed in a few weeks gladdens my heart but not entirely. My mission being brought back here was to do what I must to survive the hell of slavery but his confession on hiding my mother somewhere had me spirited and formed a new goal altogether. It wasn’t just for me alone but for mom and the rest of the Slaves in White Peak Pack.
