The Alpha’s Slave

Madison’s POV

I kept on walking in and into the room. Why do I feel like there is something up with this room?

The more I walked closer, the more the sniffing subsided. Did I even hear right? How sure am I that I even heard someone sniffing inside this room? What if I was just hearing things? What is there is no one inside the room, or maybe it’s actually the master whose inside here?

My heart skipped a beat the moment I thought of the master being inside the room.

“Perhaps I’m making a mistake of my life. What if it’s actually the Master whose in here? Will I be beheaded?” Fear gripped me the moment I thought of being beheaded by the Master.

I turned around to leave the room then I started hearing someone sobbing again. I paused, and turned around again. Something in me kept telling me to go see who it was.

I couldn’t control myself any longer, I was really eager to know who it was that was sobbing in the room.

I took a deep breath, and rushed back into the room. Then I got to the inner room where the person was sobbing. I grabbed the doorknob, and throw the door open.

To my greatest surprise, it was a little girl. She was about ten years old or more. My jaw dropped the moment I saw her. Lots of questions kept running through my mind. Is she a slave too? Why is she locked in this room?

She didn’t say a word even if she saw me. She kept staring at me without making any sound.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Little girl. What… What are you doing here?” I asked calmly, and sat beside the bed. She still didn’t say a word to me.

Fear gripped me. Why isn’t she talking? Is she deaf? Or is she dumb?

“Why are you here? I’ve been in the castle for a few months now, but why haven’t I seen you even for a day? Why are you being locked up here? Did you do anything wrong to the master?” I continued asking, but she didn’t reply me.

All she did was to smile at me a little. I think that’s a good sign. It shows that she loves me, or maybe that she likes the fact that I’m talking to her.

“Why are you smiling? I find it strange that you are in here, does the master know that you are here?” I asked again, and she continued staring at me like I wasn’t talking to her.

“This is quite strange! Why is such a little girl here, and why is it said that no one is allowed to enter this room? Is there something that I’m not being told? Why can’t the little girl speak?” I kept on thinking.

“Where’s your mommy?” I broke the silence between the both of us. Instead of her to answer me, she started crying to my surprise.

This simply means that she can hear me. I think that’s a good sign to start with, but why did she start crying? Did the Master do anything wrong to her mother?

“I’m sorry for asking about your mother, but if you don’t want us to talk about your mother why don’t you talk about your dad? Where’s your Father? Why are you in such a place?” I arched my eyebrows, and she sniffed hard still mute.

“Okay! I think this is a tough one. And if I keep being here, I might end up getting myself into trouble” I thought within myself, and I got up to leave.

Immediately I stood up, she burst into tears. I was touched by her genuine tears, and I felt bad for her. Maybe she actually needs my help, and I’m just not seeing it.

“If you want me to help you little girl. You have to help me so that I’ll be able to help you out. You have refused to answer all of my questions, and that won’t help me. I feel bad for you that you are locked up here, but you’re not telling me anything about you” I continued, and she kept crying.

I was confused, and I couldn’t get myself to understand why she was crying, or why she didn’t want me to leave.

“What do you want me to do for you? Tell me what it is, then I won’t hesitate to do it for you. I really have to leave so that no one would see me in this room. If I get caught, I will be in big trouble. I might lose my life on the process that’s why I really have to leave before I get caught” I told her, and she shook her head. I think this is the only response I’ve gotten from her ever since I started talking to her.

Just then, I heard the doorknob click, and I gasped in shock. Someone walked into the room, and I held my breath praying it won’t be the Master.

Lo and behold stood the Master, and Lady Delia in front of me. Cold shivers ran down my spine with the way the Master stared at me with disdain.

I felt like the ground should open so that I’ll be swallowed up. What am I going to do now? With the way he was staring at me, I’m sure I won’t be able to survive.

“What are you doing here Madison? Who let you in here?” Lady Delia gasped.

“I’m… I’m sorry my lady. I just heard…” I stammered, and the master’s loud voice brought goosebumps all over my body.

“Axel, take her away. She must be hanged to death now” The master said, and tears does down my cheeks immediately without wasting any time.

Axel rushed to me, and grabbed my hands. I couldn’t even plead for mercy because I know that there was no point in pleading.

Just then, the little girl burst into tears again to the surprise of everyone.

“I… wa…nt… her” She spoke so calmly even if she was crying.

The master widened his eyes in shock immediately she spoke up….
