The Alpha’s Slave

Mona’s POV:

I froze immediately I heard the guard’s voice. I don’t need anyone to tell me that I’m in great danger.

The elderly woman that was taken me to the backside of the court turned around. I didn’t even dare to turn my face.

“What is it young man? May I ask why you want us to come back?” The elderly woman spoke softly. My heart was racing so fast.

“I’m sorry ma’am, I actually thought it was someone I know” He shrugged, and she rolled her eyes.

“You are here with Master Stone, and who you should be guiding is your master. You don’t have any right to poke your nose in the affairs of this Castle” The woman eyed him, and he bowed slightly.

“I’m sorry again ma’am” He apologized, and I walked alongside the woman breathing heavily. I could recognize the voice of the guard to be Rodolfo. I’m sure if he had seen me, he will definitely make sure I get beheaded.

“You know that guard, don’t you?” The old lady’s voice smacked me out of my thoughts. She’s such a savior to me.

“Yes ma’am. He’s one of the guards of my master, Master Stone” I managed to speak up, and the woman smiled a little before turning to me.

“Why do I feel like you’re hiding something from me?” She turned to me, and I gulped nervously. Is she a seer or something?

“Err mm… What are you talking about ma’am?” I still had to cover myself up because I don’t know what she has in mind.

“You are not among the slaves that was brought to the castle today, are you?” She narrowed her eyes, and guilt struck me hard. Okay! Maybe I should just open up to her.

“The truth is, I’m not among them. But ma’am I don’t have any by intentions for coming here, I’m here because I want to stand by my friend” I spoke with guilt written all over my face. I was expecting her to yell at me, so I bowed my head in sadness.

“I understand you my dear, I know you might be surprised with my response, but I know what it means to have a friend who you cherish so much, and I know what it means to you to want to be by her side no matter the consequences of your actions” The woman started, and I turned to her with my eyes widened. Is she actually siding with me? Does this mean that she’s not angry with me for lying to her?

“Are you not angry with me for lying to you, ma’am?” I gulped harder this time.

“Why should I be angry with you? You didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t see any reason why I should be angry” She smiled a little, and tears circulated in my eyes and gradually rolled down my cheeks.

“For the first time in my life, someone is actually siding with me. I’ve never had this kind of opportunity, I mean no one sides with me. I practically grew up in Master Stone’s castle, and I can beat my chest and say that I’ve been a slave all through my life” Tears continued falling freely from my eyes down my cheeks.

“I know that you cherish this friend of yours for you to be here despite the fact that you might get killed if you are being found out, I will help you put on a disguise. I’ll help you get into the courtroom without anyone recognizing you” She assured me, and I hugged her tightly. At last, I felt she’s the mother that I never had in my life.

Madison’s POV:

We were still dancing when suddenly, the music was turned off. My heartbeat started skipping because I felt within myself that something bad was going to happen.

Master Stone stood up, and walked towards the platform. Fear gripped me, but I have to get used to him coming close to us. He walked to the other seat on the platform, and sat down without saying a word.

“The Masters have finally choosing who they want among the slaves that has been dancing. You’re going to be with the Masters for a full night, and you’re expected to entertain them” That was Axel’s voice.

“What is supposed to be in the meaning of what Axel just said? Entertaining the Masters?” I thought inwardly with a furrowed eyebrow.

The Masters got up, and walked towards us. I could see the way they were all staring at me. Exactly the way a predator stares at its prey. Okay! I must admit I was so scared. Are they going to pick me?Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

They walked around us staring at us like we were goods that were kept in the market to be sold. I always hear people talk about slaves, but I never knew they were also commodities.

“We’ve picked who we want among the slaves” They chorused, and gasps filled the air. I was praying within myself, hoping it wouldn’t be me.

“We have finally selected the fair maiden in the middle” They chorused this time. All eyes turned to me, and I felt like I was going to collapse.

All the other slaves moved away from me, and I was the only one left in the middle of them.

“Am I… Am I the one they’ve chosen?” Okay! I didn’t ask anyone this question. I wanted to say it out loud, but it actually came out as a muffle.

“Madison Adams, you’ve been picked by the Masters to entertain them for a night each” Axel made the announcement, and I stared at them with tears in my eyes. I turned to look at Stone who was staring at the ceiling like he didn’t hear what just happened, I staggered backwards. But that won’t help issues, I managed to stand firm on my fit even if my strength was failing me.

“I’m willing to help her with entertaining the Masters” A familiar voice spoke up, and everyone turned around…
