Alpha's forsaken mate

Saved.

"Food time up, Anna Give the basket" his hoarse voice commanded as he looked at the place disgusted as his gaze roamed the place and eventually stopped at me.

The older woman stood up to get the food basket, i supposed that was her name.

"New hostage?"

"Yes sir" Anna replied.

"Waste of time, she won't bring money with those looks" He snickered his gaze narrowing down at me.

After handing the basket to the ugly looking balded man the lady returned.

"You should count yourself lucky" She spoke to me.

'lucky? Lucky to be here?" I wondered dumbfounded.

"How?"

"The beauties are sold in an auction house and become the s*x toys of their new buyer but the non good looking would slave their entire life here in hellish beatings and labour" Anna responded

I found myself lost at that truth,

"W-why aren't the royals doing something about that, it's not right to slave people!" I couldn't help but exclaim in terror.

"Hahaha, the royals? You think they are good people? You think they are willing to send their men to fight these slavers. You must either be too naive or something else!"

"Am I wrong? they are rogues too" I asked not finding anything odd with my statement.

"We are at the borders of the country, It's not a place where the royals would be interested in" She replied and continued.

"Morever, the leader has some ties with the royals, so we can only keep dreaming to be saved,

I must warn you, if you want to survive you must not think of escaping this place or hope for a saviour, neither can you annoy the leaders or officials of the traders.

Be as easy and obedient as possible, that's the only way to live here"

"Then it's better to die!" I exclaimed my eyes red from anger.

"You try to kill yourself and we will suffer your death. That's how it's done here"

"Are we not free to die too?"

"That's why it's called the most terrible place, you have no right at all"

'Is this my end? I sighed in-between my sobs

"But you are lucky, you aren't that attractive so you won't be sold as a s*x toy or bidded for like a goat"

'was I supposed to be happy now? I have always known I wasn't as good looking as my peers with my plump cheeks and doe like eyes.

But having someone say it out I felt awkward.

The truth was bitter

****

Three years later**

Chained on the floor and dragged out, I stubbornly struggled with all my strength but to no avail as I was hit with every attempt to struggle I made.

I felt pain all over,

"b***h! You think you can escape today huh? I would make sure I take you to the auction today.

"Ofcourse, I will be more delighted to make you my pleasurer or you live this place as a corpse today!"

The disgusting smirk of the burly slaver enraged me"

It had been three years since I was captured here.

During the years, I got used to the treatment and life of a slave.

The fascinating fact was how fast I changed, the chubby fats on my face matured into beautiful curves and my skin glowed, a vastly difference from my teenage days.

if it was three years ago, I would have considered it a good thing but instead of being happy, I lived in fear of being sold as the attractive slaves were made to become the s*x pleasurer of the slavers or sold in the auction for large prizes.

I preferred the hard labour and dirty life of being a servant than becoming someone s*x pleasurer, just the thought disgust me, I'll rather die.

I escaped many times, from sneaking into the slavers official building to remove my name from the list of slaves to be sold to finding other means to prevent having to become someone's pleasurer.

I was always hiding from their eyes all the time but this time it seemed I was doomed.

I thought hard but had no way to escape as I was dragged in chains like an animal.

'today must have been declared my death day, as I preferred death.

Just then the sound of three armed guards ran up to the slave auctioneer that dragged me out.

Heaving heavily they reported

"My lord,there is trouble!"

"What got you running like this? Explain!!"

"The-the royal... i mean..." The guard stuttered in fear.

"Would you talk or I fry that nerve of yours!" The auctioneer angrily spoke.

"We are been attacked by the royals" the other guard managed to report.

"What!! The royals? That can't happen, they don't have concerns about our business, besides we made a deal with one of the royal court men how can that happen?"

"We saw armed men from afar heading here with intentions to destroy this place and they are all wearing the royal batch"

"My lord they are fast approaching we have to vacate this place now!"

"Haa, you only saw them armed and heading this way, they must not be here to fight.

They must be wanting some slaves, the royals hasn't showed any signs about been that displeased with our faction" He confidently stated.

"But-but my lord..."

"Shut up and inform the leader to come. We must welcome them well" He grinned his yellowed teeth on display.

"Y-yes sir"

'royals' I thought but the memory from that year hit me and I immediately pushed it to the back of my mind.

If there's anything I don't want to think about it's the hurt I felt that day.

********

Moment later...

"My lord, they aren't here on any occasion they are killing the front guards but the gates are already open and they are headed into the compounds"

"What!!" The auctioneer known as lord Luke stood up angrily,

"Who is leading the fight?"

"My Lord, all we see is the royal guards we need to vacate now!" The guards anxiously suggested.

"If we vacate now we would lose everything, we can't afford that. Gather all the slaves and get the back door we would leave Immediately" He ordered.

Someone announced

"The leader is here"

"Luke, what's happening?" The leader asked a dark aura emanating from him as he approached.

"I don't understand too" I thought we already bribed the court and can fluently run our faction but this...

" If-"

The leader was interrupted as men rushed in.

"My Lord, they are the prince's people and here to spill blood" He shivered as he reported.

"The prince?" He asked his brows furrowing

"Worst news, all the gates have been breached and we have been ambushed" Someone reported with a shudder.

*****

Luciano's pov.

"Alpha, the Conrad faction of slavers had been successfully cleared, i released the slaves to get rest" Eloi reported.

"Good"

"Alpha" he called hesitantly.

A pair of cold eyes stared into eloi's hesitating face that indicated he had something to report but was unsure how to say it.

"Eloi, if you have something to say, you can speak"

"Alpha.... It-its about miss Serena"

Luciano head jerked up from the documents he was holding.

"Report" He commanded his heart clearly stirred but he concealed his feelings well.

"She was among the slaves we found on Conrad faction, she was badly beaten"

He felt his heart hurt and wanted nothing but to stand up and go find her.

"W-where is she?" He asked trying his best to conceal the anxiousness he felt.

She's currently receiving treatment in the base.

"Okay, dismissed"

It had been three long years since he last saw her, he thought he was doing the right thing by not embracing her.

All he wanted was to keep her safe, safe from the dangers of the palace.

She seemed so naive that he felt he could not let her stay by his side just yet, he wanted to build more power so he could make her his princess.

He still remembered that morning clearly, waking up with her in his arms, the amount of bliss that spread through his heart.

He never wanted to release her from his embrace, sleeping so peacefully she could be mistaken for an angel,

No....

She was one, she was his angel.

But what he had to do next broke him, he knew it was the best to do but never expected the outcome of his decision.

All he wanted was to protect her from the dangers of the palace, he wasn't yet confident of keeping her safe. And in order to protect her he has to build his own power and stand but it might take time and within that time he doesn't know what will happen so he choosed to let her go first, to deny her so she could leave the palace in one piece.

Never in his wildest dream did he think he drove her to her death, he still remembered the pain he felt that year. It was so horrible, he couldn't feel her wolf or connect to her, he couldn't find her...

He blamed his self.

He thought she died, he had to go into confinement for 6 months to heal from the pain he felt.

But now, he found out she was actually alive,she was still in this world. He felt countless emotions at once.

He knew she must resent him now.

Ofcourse,he almost drove her to her death.

He missed her and wanted to go see her right now but...

He was a bit afraid, afraid she wouldn't want him anymore.
