KYAN
Yet again, that sumptuous and enticing scent of Lily and cinnamon filled my system, warming up my entire being. Her scent felt like a nice soft bed and coziest blanket. I bit my inner cheek, bringing me back to my senses.
“I know what you are thinking, but you should eat up, so we can talk,” I said and the slave turned to look at me.
Her eyes widened for a moment before she quickly bowed her head. “Did you not hear me? Enough with the formality and get on with it.” I barked an order causing her to shriek.
She swiftly raced to her terrible-looking chair and opened up the covered meal, devouring it as fast as she could.
There was nowhere else to sit so I remained standing, watching her eat. Her golden locks were roughly tied in a bun, it suddenly triggered a long-buried memory in my head. The color was the same, but Ane had well-kept hair.
Being around this slave reminded me of the past, and that didn't sit well with me.
“You will no longer reside here, you will return to the mansion with me, your refusal will not be tolerated, because It is an order.”
She stopped eating to gaze at me, and as if realising her mistake, she lowered her head.
“B–But…I…I…’’
“You dare not disobey me, Slave! I am your master and you will listen to every word I say. Is that clear?”
“Y–Yes…” she trailed off, obviously not knowing who I was.
“Alpha heir.”
“A–Alpha h–heir.” She stuttered, fidgeting.
***************
Eventually, she completed her meal, and we went on our way to the pack house.
I had a guest room arranged for her in the east wing of the mansion, it was closer to my quarter, and I wanted her close for safe watching. I knew how ruthless Alpha Stan could be and risking her life was something I did not intend to joke around with.
“Get settled in, you will be visited by two maids, they will wash you up and find you better clothes to wear. I will also send in a nurse to cater for you.” I said and all she did was stare at me in awe.
Even I was surprised by my actions, I had initially cut myself from the entire world and now here I was, being responsible for a slave.
“T–Thank you, A–Alpha heir.” I rolled my eyes at her stuttering habits, was this how she conversed or was it my aura as a higher ranked?
With my business temporarily done for the moment, I left heading to my chamber.
Halfway through, a warrior approached me, he was coming from the passage hallway that led to my room.
“Alpha heir.” He bowed.”Alpha Stan requests your presence in his study.”
I was in for yet another argument, I changed course, heading to his study in the west wing of the mansion.
"What is this nonsense rumor spreading around the pack house? How dare you bring a rogue slave into my abode? Do you have no shame?" Alpha Stan yelled as I walked into his study, he didn't even give me a settling space.
"She's my mate and it's expected of me to take care of her, I am not surprised you do not know the essence of what that responsibility means." I retorted.
"How.Dare.You?" He screamed trashing his work desk, while I stood still unmoved by the stupid stunt he was pulling.
"Get her out of here now, if you don't want me doing it for you."
"She's mine! Not yours." I said. "You have no right over her, she's my mate and she belongs to me." I deadpanned my anger slowly rising. I hated the fact that I was using those words as a lowly rogue slave. I had chosen not to dwell on my obvious punishment and try to fix my future.
"Vanessa is mine! Read my very lips. That rogue slave is mine. I conquered her pack and I brought her here. She is not your mate and she never will be." Father gritted out, pointing his finger in my direction. "Get her out of my pack house."
"She's not going anywhere, I don't care what she was and is to you. The Goddess has paired me with her and I must take care of her. You cannot stop me neither will you control me, I am not the little boy you once knew." I said in a daring tone.
Alpha Stan smiled bitterly, "I am the ruling Alpha of the Blood Lake pack, and I can decide what to do with the people beneath. You are beneath me and you will listen to me, get that slave out of this Pack house immediately."
"If she leaves, then I will leave as well, and then I will let the entire pack find out the truth about my bond with her." I threatened.
Alpha Stan squinted his gaze at me, he chuckled dryly, continuously tapping his foot on the wooden surface.
"Ryker!" He yelled out the name of his sergeant and the door opened with the middle-aged running in.
"Find that rogue slave, take her to the dungeon and finish her off." He ordered smirking at me.
"Understood, Alpha Stan," Ryker said and made his way to the door but I blocked his path, looking at Alpha Stan
"Let her be, I will do whatever you ask of me." I blurted out, my protectiveness overriding my senses.
"Hmmm!" Alpha Stan chuckled." Whatever I ask of you?"
"Ryker please excuse us, and put my order on hold." He said and Ryker bowed before exiting. I turned to him, my anger subsiding. I had just made a swift deal with the devil and now I was about to receive my punishment.
"Let her live, and in return, I would do all that you ask, and I won't go back on my words.
"That's what I like to hear. The Goddess has played a fast one on us, but thankfully I am alive to avert this foolish fate she has bestowed on you." He rubbed his chin and grinned like the devil he was.
"What do you want?" I asked, choosing to remain unmoved by the diabolical man standing in front of me.
"As the soon-to-be Alpha of the Blood Lake pack, you must have a mate. You are old enough to settle down, and your bride will be Gamma Scarlett." He said, causing me to clench my fist.
"You must mark and marry Scarlett if you desire that the slave remain alive. Do you agree? Or should I head on with my order?"
"I agree." I forced the words out of my system, loathing the feeling of helplessness that washed over me.
