Alyssa's POV. The noise in the slave quarters is deafening , almost as loud as if someone had turned up the volume on an entire room full of slaves. It echoes through every corner, like a chorus. The whole place seems to shake. But it wasn't shaking, the discussion made it sound like it would fall. I twisted my hands painfully as my memory drifted to the Alpha, how he hurt me yesterday. My heart clenched at the thought. He was such a bad Alpha, and I didn't know why. But I couldn't get him out of my head. I blame the moon goddess for making him my mate. He's so intense, and so darn handsome, I didn't like how attractive he is with the way he acts cruel, it makes me think of him even when I don't want to. I sighed in frustration as I waited for my turn. It was finally my turn, the head slave's eyes narrowed in anger immediately she saw me ,her mouth set in a straight line of disapproval. She grabbed the edge of my collar and forced me onto my knees. She held my head down by m
Lance's POV.I sighed as my thoughts trailed to a particular direction I didn't like. I hated that she was on my mind, it aggravates me so much, but I couldn't help it, Alyssa was always in my thoughts even when I shouldn't think of her. I should hate her more than I already did for who she is, who's daughter she is. I hate her for who her father is, and I promise that she'll pay for everything her father did. Hated that I thought of her when I wanted to think of something else, she somehow creeps into my mind. I hate how beautiful she is. Her light brown hair, hazel green eyes, and full lips. How the tip of her mouth would quiver when she smiles. How her cheeks get rosy when she blushes. The way her hair falls loosely over her face, framing her perfectly oval features. I want her to suffer so much she'll hate me, suffer so much it'll please me. I don't care that she hates me or what, all I care is that she suffers. Seeing her suffer will please me, and I'll make sure I punish
Alyssa's POV.I didn't expect to run into the Alpha, I was just avoiding the head slave, it felt like she was seriously on my case earlier.Immediately I realized who was talking to me, my heart began somersaulting like it was preparing for an athletic competition.I swallowed nervously as my eyes widened, when I stared at him,his wicked smile making me nervous. The way he looked down at me made my entire body shiver. I don't know if I was shivering because he's so fine or if I was shivering because I expected him to punish me.I knew I landed in trouble when I ventured here running away from the head slave.It felt like I moved from the frypan to the fire, but it wasn't exactly the opposite. It was the same feeling that happens when you go into a hot frying pan and you feel the heat.It wasn't painful per say, but it was uncomfortable.He had that effect on me. He was my mate after all, though he made it obvious that he hated me.It felt bad to know that my mate didn't like me, his
Allyssa's POV.I rush off, eager to make it to the slave quarters, my stomach growls and I take deep breaths to calm myself, pangs of hunger rattle my bones and fatigue seeps into my system, making me drowsy. I need to eat, so I move my legs faster, at least when I get to the slave quarters, I'll have a bite, as measly as it might be, it is still something.I stop in my tracks when I see a familiar face, it's Belinda, she looks elegant wearing a red dress with spaghetti straps and a sequined pattern embroidered from the breast to the waist, a gold coloured high heeled shoe adorns her ankles and foot and I immediately feel self-conscious, my clothes are wrinkled and dirty from work and my flats are at the point of depletion.She walks towards me with a menacing smirk that makes me ball my hands into fists, her elegance does nothing to hide the evil in her eyes as she smirks at me, I am tempted to give her a very unfriendly sneer in return, but that would only serve to make whatever pun
Alyssa's POV.I wipe my eyes with the palm of my hands, there is no need to dwell on what I just saw, but the image keeps replaying in my head, it has been seared in my mind and I can not seem to shake it off. My mate and that evil Belinda, right in front of me making out like the world would end if they didn't, "Hey you!" I hear the voice to my left and my stomach drops as I come to a screeching halt."Yes ma'am" I bow as the head slave appears in my peripheral vision."Where have you been?" She is stroking her whip and my whole body stills, the lie running through my head in a matter of seconds."I was cleaning the training area" I lie "I just dropped off the materials" My hearts thumping at full speed at this point and at this rate, I might have a heart attack.The woman's face contorts into an expression of rage as she sends a blinding slap across my face, I balk, the pain making fresh tears spring to my eyes."How dare you lie to me?" She begins, brandishing her whip threatening

Alyssa's POV.A torrent of ice cold water falls on my entire body and I wake with a croak which is supposed to be a shout. The water is pure torture but my parched throat makes me lap it up with my tongue, relishing in the cool feeling of the water against my throat, it does not scratch the surface of the thirst that has taken over my body, but it is something."Wake up, rat" The nasal voice screeches, and I immediately gather myself up from the ground where I'm bundled, it's the Head slave.Cold rage and dislike rises from the pits of my soul for this woman, but I immediately clamp it down as fast as it rears its ugly head. "Y- ye- Yes ma'am" The cold water kicks in as my teeth chatter and I begin to shiver."You have overslept, so you need to get to work immediately" She commands and I clamp my mouth shut to stop from saying anything that would get me into a load of trouble.She took the time to pour the water over me 'after I had overslept' very conveniently, if she was so conce
Allyssa's POV.I wake up with a start, looking at my surroundings. I'm in my underwear,which should bother me, but it doesn't, the room is unfamiliar and cozy, the bed is as soft as clouds and I recline deeper into it, the pillow supporting my head is made of silk.The room is dimly lit and so the light does not assault my eyes, the door opens and I nearly jump out of my skin. What was I expecting? That this room had materialized out of nowhere? With no owner?An elegant woman steps into the room, closing the door behind her and I immediately relax, she looks kind and friendly and has a soothing aura. "Hello" She smiles, making her way to the sofa right opposite the bed, she plops down."Sorry I left you alone, you must have been so shocked, I had to run a few errands you see" She gives me a bright smile that makes her glow and I crack a smile, she's so beautiful yet so kind, it almost moves me to tears."You do not have to say sorry" I croak, she notices and stands up to hand me a
