Twisted fate

Chapter2

Pain.. pain couldn’t do justice to how I felt. I was broken. I was crushed. I was heartbroken! All my life, I had dreamt of being free from the clutches of slavery and find a man whom I would love and who would love me too. I believed this man someday would come and turn my life around. I once dreamt we would have a beautiful marriage with lots of pups but it was all gone. It was all gone.

There was no power to dream anymore. I couldn’t understand why he hated me so much. I held on to the bedspread, wiping off the dried tears I had shed while he took away my virginity with no iota of mercy or pity.

I watched him get dressed, a frown on his face as he mumbled some words to himself. I pulled my knees close to myself and embraced it, trying so hard to console myself. That was definitely not the way I believed I would lose my virginity.

There were thousands of questions I wanted to ask but I couldn’t muster the courage to ask such. I was quite scared of him and I knew what he could do. Staggering once again, he headed out of the room, leaving me all to myself. I was cold yet so hot. My legs were weak and so was every part of my body. I was quite certain I would have been injured somehow.

I tilted my neck to the direction of the door as I heard the lock being turned. Was he locking me inside? Was I going to be a prisoner here? I tried to stand up but my legs trembled and I.. I just couldn’t. I wallowed in self pity even though I tried to assure myself it would be fine.

Again, I directed my gaze to the bedside table and then, at the drink. Was she aware? Was that the pain she was talking about? I immediately resented her for not making me brace up my mind for such. Stretching my hands towards it, I managed to pull it close and gulp down the content. Thankfully, it helped me fall asleep and escape from my pains for a few minutes.

“My Lady…” A tap on my shoulder forced me to open my eyes. The sun reflected directly into my eyes, forcing me to shut it once again before swiveling away from its direction and opening it once again.

“Good morning, my lady..” She started, a wide smile on her face. My head still banged as well as every part of my body. At the realization of where I was, I widened my eyes and looked around to be sure the Alpha was nowhere around and thankfully, he wasn’t. A sigh escaped my lips and I struggled to sit up.

“Are you still in pain?” She asked, concern boldly written all over her face as she stared at me deep in the eyes.

“it didn’t work.” I buried my head in my palm. “I am however grateful it made me sleep. “ I exhaled. “But I still feel horrible and miserable.” I explained to her and she was quiet for a while. “I am sorry I couldn’t be of so much help to you. It was supposed to be one of the best nights of your life.”

Best night? It was the worst so far! Although I didn’t have in abundance, I was still happy and contented with my state of life initially..

“The maids would be here to bath you and serve you breakfast in a couple of minutes. “ She stood up and bowed once again before heading for the door.

“What is your name?” I questioned in an attempt to know her more. She was one of the kindest person that treated me so well since my arrival. Although she got me sad by not telling me what I got to encounter the previous night, I still loved and adored her. She meant so much to me.

“I am sorry…” She halted and turned to look at me. What was it this time? “We are… the Alpha has told us not to tell… we aren’t allowed to tell you our names.” She finally spoke. For a millisecond, I was dumbstruck. Wait, what? Why?

“Why?” I questioned, a little bit surprised at the news I just got to hear.

“That, I do not know.” She responded before walking out of the room. A part of me yearned for her but I was scared. My heart raced the moment she walked out of the room.. just like she had said, some maids walked in quickly. They were quite different from the maids who had bathed me the previous night.

Like a puppet, I did as instructed and followed them to the bathroom. Just like the previous day, the bath was soft and amazing. It was weird….maids washing me up, I doubted if I was ever going to get accustomed to it.

I headed to the bedroom alongside the other maids . Everything happened so fast, from my dressing to my breakfast. It was like I hadn’t eaten in days as I continued to have my meal but no sooner had I begun to eat when the door suddenly flung open. My eyes widened in shock, my heart racing hard and I almost chocked on the meal.

I stood up immediately and took a few steps backwards, my legs paralyzed in fear and pain. His eyes reddened in anger as he got to know I was eating.

“How dare you..” He voice came out as a whisper, sending shivers down my spine and my body began to ache once again and this time, even more. How could he be so cruel?

“I…I…”

“Who served you? How could you be given food? Who gave such order?!” He roared, the building trembled. I was scared to the bones as I wondered what exactly he was talking about.

“I…..”

Before I could say any more word, he threw away the plate, causing a gasp to escape my lips as I was even more scared. What type of man was he and why was being cruel to me?

Immediately, he stormed out of the room. My heart raced even more as I lowered myself to the floor, tears dropping from my eyes. A couple of seconds later, he walked back in, a frown etched to her face. I stood up immediately.

“Henceforth…..” He started, his brows arched. The tightness around his lips showed how upset he was. What had I done wrong? Why was he so upset simply because I ate? “You will not taste anything in here until I ask you to. I have given a warning to those wretched maids. If anyone tried to feed you, such person would be dealt with.” He ordered.

“Then..” I whimpered. “I would die of hunger and starvation.”

He moved towards me and placed his hands on the wall, caging me in his grip that I could feel his breathe on my skin. It was so hard controlling the tears that fell from my eyes as one fell on his hand. This was as a result of me tilting my head to the sides so I wouldn’t stare at him in the eyes.

“I am sorry, I did not mean to…” i tried to talk but I was silenced when I suddenly felt a strong pull on my hair. He wiped off the tears with my hair and stared at me in disgust.

“Do I look like I care… if you die of hunger and starvation?” He grinned. “Well…” He took his hands off, crossed it behind him and turned his back to me. “Perhaps, I care. I am not done with you yet so you cannot… die. Death is too easy an escape for you. You cannot die now.” He threatened and headed for the door.

“Why?” I broke down in tears. “Why do you hate me so much? I know I am not worthy to be your Luna and…”

“That’s such a relief to hear. “

“And I didn’t ask for this position. You are the Alpha, you could have easily rejected to marry me. What have I done wrong?” I raised my head up to look at him but my words seemed to have upset him as I could see the visible anger in his eyes.

“It is not in your pla

ce…to tell me what to do.” He threatened and walked out of the room.
