The Forbidden Forest

The Alpha

I looked up when I heard Ric’s voice.

What is he doing again? I am not a human? Of course I am.

I catch her because the alpha needs a servant. She’s a rebel vampire.

What? It was me who commanded you to catch this human and what about, her, being one of us? I can smell that she is!

You’re not the one I served. It was the alpha and I am concerned no one’s taking care of him.

How can you prove that this woman is not a human?

Turn around, Celine. I don’t know why, but I did as what he said.

Ric opened my clothes at the back which makes me confused. What’s there?

Is this not enough?

Trina! Get her.

Of course. Let’s go, Celine.

How did you know my name?

Ric just said earlier.

I glared at Ric, curiously. He want me dead earlier. He’s looking at me signaling ‘just go’. I stare at Trina, she smiled widely at me, telling me, I’m safe. With that assurance, I gladly take her hands. I look at the man in front watching us. Is he really the alpha? From what I read in the books, alpha holds the highest position in the Vampire world. I was just reading before, and now I’m here in their world.

Where did you came from? Are you from the East? Rebel vampire mostly from there due to their laws which is unlawful.

I have amnesia. I don’t remember what happened to me. Wish it work.

I am not dumb. I heard everything earlier. You just answered them sarcastically that it makes André wants to kill you. So, tell me. I don’t even know what is she talking.

I sighed.

Honestly, I don’t know where I came from.

What?

Yes, If I’ll tell you, that will put me in great danger. I don’t know how Ric do that.

Are you sure? I nodded unfortunately. Hope it work.

I just woke up in that forest without knowing how did I get there. I sadly said.

I’ll help you get back where you came from. I’d be glad if she’ll do that but we have different world. I just smiled at her.

Trina give me foods and clothes and currently taking a bath. How was Alia? Did she get caught? She’s not here yet that only means she was able to escape. I hope she did. I put on the clothes Trina gave me.

Are you ready to serve the alpha?

I am not sure.

Just do everything he wants. Being with the alpha means living in hell. So, if you don’t want to die, just do everything he says.

Did you experience being his servant?

No, but that’s what his servant mostly says. But I heard he really just don’t need a servant. I really don’t who speaks the truth, since you’ll be going there, you’ll be able to know the answer. You have to go now.

I just nodded at her. Our place is at the back of the mansion. So, I used the back door to get inside. Guards were all over the place which speaks elegance. Every things were organized. The chandelier in the ceiling. A black wall and a marble floor matched which really looks good.

What are you doing there? Are you just going to stand the whole day?

I looked up to see who’s talking and it answered why he’s familiar because he was the man who saved me in the brink of death two times. He is in the second floor standing with authority in his aura.

I was just----

Come over here. He said fiercely. The way he look at me intimidates me. What’s with this immortal?

Give me a valid reason to go over there. You’re too confident, Celine! Who are you to talk like that to an alpha?

Then give me a valid reason not to kill you.

I’ll be up there! I smiled nervously at him.

What can I do for you, your highness! I vowed like those characters in movies.

Are you angry?

Of course I am not.

Your actions and words seems contradicting.

You’re just hallucinating what did I say? I mea—n, it’s not like that. This is my voice hehehe wish it work

I’m hallucinating? Okay, clean the whole mansion.

What!!!

Do you want me to repeat it?

What? Are you damn serious?

Do I look like, I’m quipping?

It’s a mansion! Is this part of serving you? Cause if it is, I resigned!

Who are you to yell at me like that? I can do whatever I want especially to you.

Then go ahead! Eat me! Just don’t let me clean this house! Everything is clean anyway.

Why would I eat a vampire? Is that why he’s not into my blood that time because I am really a vampire. No, I won’t accept that! I can’t be a vampire! Correction, we don’t eat, we bite and kill.

Are you threatening me?

Your life is in my hand, lady. So, be careful with your words. It might be the reason of your death.

Death is been chasing me all this time, it won’t scare me anymore. If you’re death then I am life. I’ll give life to a dead like you.

Then do it. Make me alive.
