Alpha’s Rejected Slave
Chapter Two
(Imprisoned)
Sheila’s POV
My eyes were playing tricks, thinking maybe my imaginations were all over the place and somehow it imagined him in here.
“Are you real?” The words fell out of my lips before I could push them in.
He was real.
His scent.
His nicely shaved stubbles.
His fire electric blue eyes.
Tagon.
He looked more handsome than ever. Words lack the true essence of his manly beauty. His jet black curly long hair shone under the poor lit torches. He screamed of power, wealth and affluence.
A tear slipped from my eye unconsciously. He looked well, and his apparel was that of the Pack leader. He is the Alpha and that made my heart flutter. He did prove himself worthy of leading as he should.
I didn’t know if I should run into his arms and hug him for being away from him all these years or I should terribly keep my distance and see what fate has in store.
But his eyes were extremely hard, filled with so much hate and pent up rage. The way his teeth gritted against the other. I could smell the hatred from a mile.
“Long time Shiela, is this how you greet your Alpha?” His voice was soft but cold as ice.
His eerie voice sent goosebumps across my skin and I kept my gaze focused on him not even to blink for fear of him. I swallowed hard to mask my surprise even though the words were hard to roll out of my tongue.
“How does it feel running from Pack to Pack and still caught under my nest? You must have had fun thinking you escaped didn’t you my little minx?”
“Stay.. st.. away from me.” My voice was shaky.
“Not so fast Sheila.” He taunted marching towards where I stood.
“Let me go. I have done nothing to warrant this cruelty.” I lashed out with gritted teeth stepping backwards as he approached till my back hit a wall.
Dead End.
He was my predator and I his prey.
He cornered me with his huge hands placed at the sides. “Self delusion is a terrible sickness worse than madness, cause you are insane without you realising it. Do you believe yourself to be innocent?”
“I owe you no explanation and nothing at all. Free me and never try to cross paths with me in future. I do not fear you Tagon. If you desire to kill me, do so quickly. Get this over with.” I barked.
At this point he should just kill me than keep playing with me.
“Dying won't save you and definitely not from me. Escaping the hell I created is an impossible dream, Sheila. This is the beginning of your woes and the better you realise you are never escaping the better for you and every one of us.”
“I deserve to know my offence. You can't imprison an innocent woman and leave me almost half dead for something I know nothing about. Judge me by my crime and let me go for my innocence.”
“Do you want to know what your crime is?”
I nodded in affirmation.
“Breathing… your crime is breathing.”
“Breathing?” I asked with a trembling voice. Why does my life have to be his problem? Does he want me dead? Tagon was different in mannerisms, the movement of his lips and the way he lacked soul. No emotions left in them.
His eyes which I had loved to look at in the past were pleasurable and easy to read now looked very dead and empty.
“Do you enjoy hiding from the world, barely living and hiding in some trash pack? See how pitiable you look. I could have given you my heart if you demanded it, the world would have been at your beck and call but what did you do? You threw my love to the mud and look at you hiding like a mouse. Sheila, you lost the chance to be my Luna. The Luna of White Peak Mountain Pack!”
I didn’t respond. His words weren’t getting to me. I don’t want to be Luna, never wanted to be one or jump into the arms of any royal to improve my status.
What hurt me with this confrontation was my friend. He changed detoriately from a perfect soul into this angry and broken man. His present status didn’t change a thing. But I can never hold his angry words or whatever punishment he decides to mete against me at him. I contributed to hurting him, breaking him and letting his demons consume every one of his being.
He was my sunlight, moon, rain, my fountain of joy and safe haven but soon that ray turned into my darkness, pain and heartbreak. He has an aim to shatter me till I have no pieces left. He joined them like the others to destroy me.
When he was good, he made me believe we could weather the storm. When he turned bad he made me believe he was the storm.
“Good luck to your present Luna and if you haven’t good luck when you find her. I never loved you more than a friend and today I’ll repeat I don’t love you, never did and never will not in a million years. What happened between us was in the past which was never meant to blossom. Let me go, I don't belong here, not in this pack and never will….” Before the words could successfully leave my lips a deafening sound rocked the cell and a large open dent came on the wall.
Tagon.
He took long hoarse breaths, his tight fist stuck in the wall. His eyes darkened with angry growls. What kind of a man has he turned to? It felt so hard not to think of the past. It was so hard not to think about how things were. The good days. He was the sweetest man I’ve ever met. I was foolish back then to think those affections were real. I was stupid to think my tainted blood could be made pure by garnering his favor and his affections.
There were only two events he ever got mad: the first time we met where he met me crying and the second was when I told him… nevermind.
He clicked his tongue sharply, “As long as you live you would forever be under my dominance. I own you. Your life, your blood and even your soul to do whatsoever my soul pleases. You are my slave and that’s your lot.”
“I’m no longer a slave, yes for your father but not for you and as your father is no more, it relinquishes the slave title. I’m free, please let me go. It's growing dark and… my husband will be home awaiting my return.” Making his eyes widen in shock and angry veins pop.
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
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
~ (Present) “Alpha, the supplies for the construction workers have been arranged and we have more crops stored in the barn for distribution for the full moon celebration, my lord.” Fidelis my Beta informed me as he read from the floor long royal scroll on reports. 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
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Five (Healing) Sheila’s Pov My head was banging uncontrollably, an excruciating pain and even tearing my eyelids open came with a lot of willpower than necessary.My eyes fluttered open to see myself in a different room with things I’ve never seen before or touched. Where is this place? My eyes hurt badly as the morning sunlight shone brightly in the room. I tried to sit up and a sharp pain sent me crying out. “Ahhh…” A painful grunt escaped my lips. “How do you feel?” I turned to the left and found out that I wasn’t alone. Here a woman dressed in black and her hair packed in a neat tight bun was stirring something in a bowl. She gave me a reassuring smile and faced her work. “Better than I felt in days. Where is this place and how long have I been asleep?” My eyes began to roam around the room looking for a clue, anything. My brain began to hurt rememb
Alpha’s Rejected slave Chapter Six (A week Later) Sheila’s POV It took me a week to recuperate fully on my feet and my bones to get stronger, skin glowing like never before the healing broth worked satisfactorily but for little scars on my feet which the healer gave me a balm before I was returned to the dungeon. 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
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Eight (Rosalia) Tagon’s POV The head trainer had full responsibilities in setting her into her new life as my slave. A bottom barrel.Sheila has a huge ego and watching her each day serving me would slowly but surely rub off on her and she would crack just as I want her to be at my mercy. But cracking Sheila won’t be easy. I’ve known her since my childhood. She had this free spirited energy to turn ruined things into treasures. A beacon of light that was my friend, cheerful, even in tears she is strong spirited but breaking her has been my quest and I won’t fail till I crush everything in her. “Alpha she has been inducted and as we speak she’s made to wash the ceremonial dining floors and walls on knees and until the entire room is sparkling clean she won’t have dinner and would face thirty strokes of whipping.” Rosilia said proudly and bit on her lower lip to get my at
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Nine Sheila’s POV Few minutes later I left the cell to a large hall, the biggest I have ever laid eyes on and in a line were maids dressed in the same fabric that I put on. My eyes searched if by chance my mother was here but no sign of her. I bit my lip in disappointment it was stupid of me to think He would grant me access to her so easily. 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. I got to see the head trainer, beautiful but very dangerous. Her words were straight to the point and the power she had over us made my skin crawl. And from
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Ten (Rejection) Fidelis POV I don’t know much about love except for the songs sung by the poets and little folklores. Neither was there a level an Alpha’s desire can go but with Tagon he showed me a world I never knew was possible. His feelings were under fire. 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. I didn’t judge him it was his escape but when that means of escape
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Thirty-Five (Sheila’s POV) “Mother, why is our life so hard?” “Because we are at the bottom but you see my child the greatest people aren’t those who find life easy the greatest are those who overcome challenges and step to the top. 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. Few times I’ve been smart
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Thirty-Four Beta Fidelis POV Clarity of mind. Silence. The first time in my life I fought for others. My life has worked better than I’d imagined. I’d worked my entire life to be this person- The Beta of this Pack and thus far the enthusiasm to keep going has waned. 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. My feet kicked at the stool in my chambers and sent it flying high to the mirror as it shattered all around the room, my fist rolled into a tight hard fist and the heavy pounding in my
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Thirty Three (Brief Rosalia’s Pov) He has no idea what my level of love can do. He thinks I don’t know what his mind is running off to tell me. He assumes my loyalty to him can’t also be an arsenal to me. He feels his burning desire for her isn’t setting me on fire. He’s keeping up an act, so I’ll do the same. 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. My body, soul and spirit is his to take and we are moulded for each other if only he can realize and see for himself. I don’t know what she must have done in
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Thirty-Two (Tagon’s POV) The moonlight made her skin glow brighter and the flimsy silky gown she wore accentuated her body shape leaving nothing to the imagination as her hard big nipples could be seen miles afar. 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
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Thirty-One (Tagon’s POV) The meeting stretched far into the night to some new pack searching for alliance who else would a new pack decide to beg for security if not the acclaimed White Peak Mountain Pack stronger than a rock. Fidelis my Beta was just done tying down the scroll when I halted him to wait. “Do you mind doing something real quick?” “Anything my lord,” “Come off my lord shit. We are almost brothers I’ve known you most of my life drop the titles,” His shoulder slanted downward and he nodded. “If you demand Tagon.” “From now on keep an eye on Rosalia and her cousin, the new Head Trainer. 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. I'd like to know
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Thirty (Tagon’s Pov) “What do you mean she’s not here?!” My voice broke even around the wall making the woman shiver in fright almost to chattering her teeth. “My lord before we got back we found her gone. The bed was neatly made and judging from that she did it herself as no one has been in there all day.” “Do you know where she’s?” “Yes a disciple spot her at the working fields with the rest of the servants that’s all my lord,” “Incompetence! A woman I brought here left without any of your knowledge and no one bothered to tell me. I’ll think of something befitting your punishments.” She shivered her eyes pleading for mercy. 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 past few days she claimed she was heavily fatigued and needed more sleep to be
Alpha’s Rejected slave Chapter Twenty- Nine Sheila’s POVThe few days that stumbled by I kept to myself in secrecy and with my little knowledge of medicines got my ankle taken care of and about the bleeding it wasn’t a serious injury as it was a direct result of the hit. Few times Tagon tried to come see me I pretended to be fast asleep or led him on that I was hurting and needed more bed rest bidding time till I went back to my slave quarters. 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
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Twenty-Eight (Sheila’s POV) The sky seemed angry like it was about to rain, the wind angrily licking at my skin and my weak clothing not doing justice to the cold. The weather was a clear warning for anyone to get back inside to avoid its worst but I didn’t care as my mind was overwhelmed with what happened earlier today. Life seemed cruel to me. 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. I never met my father as a child and when mother narrated the sad ordeal at eight I felt bad but glad my mother held his memories but to be grown and conflicted to all I’ve grown to believe is a lie. My late father could have not been my original
Alpha’s Rejected Slave Chapter Twenty- Seven (Sheila’s POV)Waking up on a soft mattress, a flamboyant bedroom and being fed to stupor with staff at every turn wasn’t the life I expected waking up to. 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. I’d promised to do what it takes to free them and make them relate with the freeborns cause they deserve everything the
