The Alpha's Ugly Mate

Chapter 2

The only way out.

RACHEL POV

In my first 4 years as a slave, I had thought of every possible thing in existence that could make me a free woman but it seemed death always proved to be the only option. Taking my own life was not an option. Which left the probability that I would live my whole life a slave and die as one too.

When I heard those words from Davina, I tried not to feel too hopeful.

“How?” I muttered.

She stood up from the chair, smiling. “Why haven’t we thought of this before?” I couldn’t wait for her to spill, thought of what before.

“If you get a mate, they would have no choice but to free you.” She declared smiling.

My heart fell.

“What’s wrong?” She asked as I sighed heavily.

“I’d rather not have a mate at all than get rejected. I’ll go check on the customers.” I turned to leave the office but she blocked the way.

“What’s with that face?” She asked.

“Exactly. My face. Who would want to be mated to a face so ugly? I am glad I haven’t gotten any mate and I don’t look forward to getting any because we both know I’ll get rejected and that’s not something I am ready to add to my plate right now.”

“You’re not ugly Rachel, I think the air just doesn’t agree with you, maybe you need a change of environment. Your mate might not even be from here.”

“Which is out of the question, or do you see that Leazer giving me a vacation?” My master’s name was Eleazer but between Davina and I, we called him a Leazer, it meant nothing, we just loved how ugly it sounded.

“I heard we would be having visitors by the end of the week. Father told me, they would be coming for business, who knows, someone special for you might be one of them.” Davina encouraged.

“I think someone special for you should be one of them, I know how badly you want your mate.” I said as I gave my bravest face as I went to clear a table that had been vacated.

Davina was three years older than me and had not gotten a mate yet. I didn’t believe much in the moon goddess but Davina did. I think the moon goddess was very much unfair in the things she did. My life was a perfect example but scratch that, let’s say I am the exception. Look at Davina. Beautiful, curvy, rich, kind but Mateless, how is that fair? Huh?

Wolves very much younger than Davina already had mates yet my best person in the whole world was lonely. It was a gap I couldn’t fill no matter how hard I tried.

Later when customers began to troop in, Davina changed into her uniform and joined me in serving. I had once advised her to get someone else to serve with me, and her reply was… “And have someone come in between us? Nope. I like having you all to myself.”

I knew it was because she didn’t want to hire someone who might end up bullying me, there was a very high chance anyone she hired in the neighborhood would see me as ugly and make fun of me. I never got used to it. It was because being called ugly always hurt because it was the truth. Even I that owned the face hated looking into the mirror.

Time flew and it was 9 PM, our time to close, most customers had already left knowing we were packing up and was about to lock up, but the first-timers and newbie still hung around, it was Davina’s duty to tell them we were about to close, I used to be the one to do it before but one day something happened that didn’t give me the heart to continue.

Davina had a car, she drove herself home. My home was the other way and I didn’t want to bother her so I shooed her off and began walking home, My back was hurting less, and I liked to walk home. I hoped Kora had slept before I got home, I didn’t want to see her face.

It was certain no one would help me pack the clothes I had washed so I made a mental reminder to pack them in immediately I got home. I would sort them out tonight so my work would be less tomorrow, who knows, maybe I could even sleep till morning. I doubted that though, someone would wake me up for one thing or the other.

Another person I hoped I wouldn’t see today was Damien. He was Eleazer’s only son and first child. He was a bit older than I was and had a mate, he had his own house not too far from his father’s house so he dropped by often for two reasons, one was to say hi to his parents and the other was to make my life miserable.

Before he got mated, he had been a thorn in my flesh, constantly bringing different girls to the house and allowing them to make fun of me endlessly, his girls had insulted me, poured drinks on me, and made me do annoying things, but I was glad he kept his dicking out of my face, even if he never stopped making advances to f**k me.

…..

The clothes were quite heavy but I held them all up and made my way into the house, the lights were off so I guessed everyone was asleep.

My room was behind the house, it was not exactly a room, it was more of a storage house but I slept there and kept my clothes there too.

It was quite small and had no bed, I was already used to sleeping on the floor. I kept it as clean as possible. I was regularly scrubbing the floor and keeping every form of insects out.

I laid the clothes on my blanket and sorted them out, kora’s were the most, she wore clothes like she was in a beauty pageant, and it was very annoying.

When I had sorted everyone’s clothes, I decided to take kora’s to her room so I would have space to sleep. I couldn’t disturb the master and his wife and risk trouble by entering her room tonight but I could take kora’s to her room. It occupied too much space here.

My steps were hurried as I got to her room and opened the door only to be greeted by a very loud scre

am.

“AAAAaaaaarrrggggghhhhh..”
