Chapter 5

Claire POV

(2 Days Later)

Putting the brush into the bucket of soapy water, I scrubbed the ground. My fingers were hurting and I had turned red in anger an pain.

My little siftbhands moved the brush up and down as I cleaned the floor and cried.

It's only been two days with Aohw Nathan and I had turned to a slave.

I'm a servant in my mates pack and I hate myself for doing this.

My parents' words kept recalling repeatedly in my ears, I can hear their voices sound over and over again. I wished I had listened to them, I wished I never agreed to go with Alpha Nathan. Now it's me, living the hell of a traumatic life.

When they said Alpha Nathan isn't as calm and innocent as he looked, I thought they had said it out of their hatred for him, or because they despised him to the core. Now I am clearly seeing what they meant by the words. He isn't just wicked, he's more than heartless and ruthless.

I was made to scrub the hallway from the start to the end, and it's almost like two hours now, I can barely say I am half. I was so tired, I haven't done this before, not even for once in my entire life. My parents never let me touch a mob stick, they probably didn't let me do any house chores. He didn't even care to minimize the workload, and he didn't even bother to check out what kind of work I was told to do, he left to work.

He's my mate. I agreed to come home with him, so it's definitely not his fault but mine. If only I had listened to my parents, I'd probably be happy having a wonderful sleep in my bed.

He took my cell phone, making it impossible for me to communicate with my home. And he made sure the landmark wasn't in any way in my reach.

Despite pleading to the chief maid about getting an assistant to help me scrub the floor faster, all she could do was to condemn the parts I had cleaned. She'd stain the floor with her dirty shoes and then complain there's dirt in the very spots she had matched.

I felt like smacking her head to the wall, and tearing her neck apart if she said any further words. But it's very impossible for me to, I was no different from an ordinary human.

So, I ignored her, turning back to reclean those spots. "I need an assistant." I said, sounding mean. I have endured her pretending like she didn't hear me ask that before.

"I'm sorry, Miss Conrad, or whatever it is that you..."

"It's Conrad, okay? So shut the fuck up and go straight to the point. Are you bringing an assistant or not?" I yanked. If there was one thing I wouldn't do was to let my ground down. I'm a princess and I'll act like one.

"I see you have such a bad mouth, don't you? Your parents didn't train you to respect your elders, huh? Well, as days go by, you'll learn how to control those lips of yours."

I held myself from saying any words or she'd add more workloads to this.

"To answer your question, you're not getting any assistant for this work. That's the master's orders. You haven't even started yet, and the parts you've cleaned aren't worth walking on. So, if you wanna eat some thing, then do yourself the favor of working faster."

I glared at her in disbelief. She wasn't talking to me when she said that, was she? How do they expect me to get this all cleaned up before I eat?

"Don't complain, or more will be added.." She laughed, walking away from me.

******************

It took me almost half a day to get the hallway cleaned up. I wasn't allowed to go into the room Alpha Nathan had given to me on the first day I arrived here.

I was given a bed space at the servants quarter, it isn't worth staying in.

I had my shower, putting on the same rags. I went to order for my food, but the maids said it's under the chief maid's care. I went to her room to meet her, only to find her eating it with happiness.

"They told me you're in charge of my meals. I'm done with my work, I'm hungry and I need some thing to eat."

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing like 'your food.'"

I furrowed my brows. "What's that supposed to mean?" I questioned.

"Because you rounded up late, so you'll just have to wait for dinner before you eat."

"Did she actually say that to me?"

A maid came to announce to us that Alpha Nathan had returned. She walked past me like I didn't exist to her. I was hurt at the fact that no one was recognizing me. They all took me like I'm some kinda scumbag or some thing. No one new I was even mated to their Alpha.

I angrily walked out of the room to question him why all these were happening.

Getting to his room I pushed the door open with knocking I was super angry and needed to know why he would temreat me like this.

"I need an answer, Nathan, this wasn't the bargain you made with my father. Why am I being treated like this?" I badge in on him taking his clothes of. This man who was as old as my father had so much muscles and looked like he was twenty I gulped hard as I looked at him.

"I see you have no manner." His voice as always was seductive.

"Cut me the crap!m and tell me why your treating me this way. Why are you making me go through this?"

"Well, hun, you don't expect I'd take you in and forget what happened so easily. Your father created a hole in my heart, and so did your mother. So, in order to get it treated, it's only by taking you in. After I must have dealt with you to my satisfaction, then you'll understand what it means to be broken. If you have known, you should have listened to your parents."

"Is that how an alpha ought to treat his mate?"

"You're not my mate, Miss Conrad, your mother was. You, you're just a bargain and will always be a bargain to me. Do you know how it feels to live for years without a mate? Only to watch the one you thought was your mate with another man. Not just another man, she even took in for him." He scoffed, chuckling. "It feels like hell. So, I ain't gonna feel this hell alone, because you just tagged yourself in."
