The Alpha’s Slave

Madison’s POV

“Hey! Knucklehead… What are you sleeping there?” Someone dragged my ear roughly, and I quickly opened my eyes immediately.

It was no other than Lioness. I jerked up from the mat I was lying, and yawned tiredly. She glared at me like she was going to strangle me at any given opportunity.

“Good morning ma’am… I mean Lioness” I stuttered, and she sighed.

“Looks like you have a death wish? Don’t you know that you are supposed to wake up very early in the morning? Have you forgotten that you are not only a slave but also a nanny?” She shouted at me, and I flinched. Goodness! All she does is give me the creeps.

“I’m sorry Lioness. I totally forgot that I have to take care of the master’s daughter” I gulped hard.

“What are you standing there for?, Go ahead now” She yelled again, and I rushed out of the room immediately.

I reluctantly walked to the master’s daughter’s room. The door was already open, all I did was to twist the doorknob, and unlock the door.

I heard her crying, and I increased my pace. To my greatest surprise, I saw Lady Delia trying to feed her, but she refused.

“Zara, don’t make things difficult for me the more baby girl. How will you be alive and healthy if you don’t eat?” Lady Delia cried out, but Zara was only shaking her head in tears.

“What’s going on here Lady Delia? Why is she not eating?” I asked, and bent over beside her. She stared at me for sometime before turning her face away grabbing her duvet to herself.

“This is what I go through every time. She doesn’t want to eat, and without her eating how will she be able to take the medicine that the doctor had given her” Lady Delia shook her head bitterly.

I took a deep breath, and said some silent prayers within myself. I hope I’ll be able to feed without her refusing.

“Let me lady Delia” I took the plate containing the cereal she was trying to feed her.

“Are you sure you’ll be able to do this? Zara can be very stubborn, and it takes a lot of patience to be able to cope with her” Lady Delia arched her eyebrows at me. For some reasons, I think I’ll be able to convince her to eat.

“Don’t worry lady Delia. I’ll try my best to make sure she eats something.

“Zara?” I called the moment I sat on her bed while she backed me using the duvet to cover her face. She was sobbing helplessly.

Poor child! She’s been locked up here for so long. What else would be expected of a child like that?

“I hope you succeed. Her teacher will be here in the next thirty minutes, and she must go to class” Lady Delia added, and I nodded my head while she sat at the other corner looking at us.

“Zara…” I started. I tried to touch her, but she slapped my hands off her body. Now, this is going to be tough.

“Don’t you want to get better? If you don’t eat, then there’s no way you’re going to get better” I continued, but she wasn’t even paying attention to me.

“I told you she’s very stubborn” Lady Delia shrugged, and I smiled faintly. I’m not going to give up, not when my life is at stake at least.

“When I was a little girl like you, I’ve always wanted to be healthy, so that I’ll be able to go out and play with friends, but things didn’t work out the way I wanted, and that made me sad. No one wanted to be friends with me then because I wasn’t that brilliant. Until one day, I decided to start learning more and more. Then, I started acquiring knowledge, soon enough, I had so many friends” I said those words not even knowing that she already took off the duvet staring at me with so much interest.

“MMH…” She nudged me the moment I became silent. I turned to her with widened eyes, and she raised her eyebrows signalling me to continue.

“So Zara, if you really want to get healthy and get so many friends. If you want to stop schooling at home like you’re doing now, it’s only right for you to eat your food and take your medicine. Once you’re healthy, you’ll make so many friends that you can share your toys with, but if you refuse to eat, then you’ll never get better, and you’ll have to remain here” I said sadly, and she bowed her head. I spooned the cereal into her mouth, and she ate it reluctantly.

Lady Delia widened her eyes in shock while I smiled at her.

Emery’s POV

I pushed Rodolfo to the corner, and placed my hand over his mouth. As the slave walked out of sight, I brought my hand down, and he exhaled deeply in relief.

“What you want us to do is risky Emery. Why will you think of something as dangerous as this? We might get killed if the Master finds out about this” Rodolfo popped his eyes out, and I smirked mischievously.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“You’re just a coward Rodolfo. That’s why the Master never considered making you his favorite guard. Life itself is a risk, and you don’t expect living life not to be a risk as well. Give me the keys to the master’s treasury room” I ordered, and he reluctantly handed the keys over.

“How exactly do you plan to do this?” Rodolfo asked with a shaky voice. Isn’t he such a coward?

“Which treasure does the master cherish a lot?” I asked, and he exhaled heavily before speaking up.

“There’s this diamond necklace in the drawer that the Master treasures a lot. We’ll all be in trouble if it goes missing. Why do you ask?” Rodolfo whispered, and I nodded my head with a smile.

I unlocked the door, and opened the drawer where I picked up the sparkling necklace with a smirk.

“Let the drama begin” I mumbled….
