The Alpha’s Slave

Lioness POV

I walked down to the store room where Mona and the proud Master’s favorite Slave was working like I told them to cut the coconuts.

Mona was already through with cutting the coconuts while Emery was sitting tiredly with the coconut still lying on the ground.

“What is this girl turning into just because she became the master’s favorite?” I fumed in anger, and marched forward to her with a whip.

“What do you think you’re doing Emery? Who told you that you could leave the work I sent you to do just to sit lazily on the ground?” I whipped her back, and she jump with a shrieking yell.

“Oh God! I’m sorry Lioness. I almost got wounded by the coconut and…” She whimpered.

“So are you trying to tell me that you can’t do it? I think you’re forgetting that you’re just a slave, and nothing special. Since you decided to get on my bad side, I’m going to make life more miserable for you” I grabbed her by her hair, and dragged her out of the store room. Now, I’m going to make her know her place.

Madison’s POV

I sat on the bed staring at Lady Delia with so much curiosity. I needed to find out how and what happened to little Zara who kept staring at us like she could understand what we were talking about.

“Zara is actually the master’s only child” Lady Delia broke the silence, and I arched my eyebrows in shock.

“The master’s daughter? How is that even possible? The Master is married?” I couldn’t hold myself back from asking questions.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“I know you find it surprising, but that’s just the truth. Zara here is the Master’s only child, and yes! He was married to her mother legally. She’s not any sort of love child or anything” Lady Delia replied calmly.

“My goodness! How can someone as cold as the master get married to a woman?, I still find it confusing, because the master I know is not someone who would treat a woman right” I was forced to open up to lady Delia who laughed hysterically.

“I know you’re talking from experience, but I just want you to know that he has not always been like this. He used to be a loving husband, a responsible father like every other man to their families” She continued, and I shook my head.

“What happened then? What made him change into such a monster? I know I might be beheaded if he hears what I’m saying about him, but what you just said mads me get confused” I snapped at her.

“Zara and her parents were living happily until one day. Their happiness was snatched from them” Lady Delia continued, and I arched my eyebrows.

“Their happiness was stolen from them? How? Was it why this little girl became dumb and crippled?” I gasped in shock.

“Yes. This is exactly what happened to her. Lucien’s father had an enemy who swore to destroy his father, and his family. So, he murdered the master’s Father, and still didn’t stop there, he went ahead to think of hurting the master Stone and his family” Lady Delia replied, and I furrowed my eyebrows.

“Are you saying that the Master’s father was murdered? So what exactly happened to her mother?” I asked anxiously.

“Well, that night the man came with some hoodlums right in front of the little Zara. Zara was just 5 years old then when they barged into the mansion they had Lucien’s wife Rani butchered right in front of Zara. It was the most shocking thing for little Zara to see her own mother butchered in front of her despite the way the little girl pleaded with them to free her mother.” Lady Delia shook her head in pity.

“What? How heartless! They butchered Master Stone’s wife right in front of him, and his little Zara?” I covered my mouth with my palms.

“Honestly, it was the worst thing that has ever happened to them. After that night, and after what little Zara saw, she became traumatized. She couldn’t talk or say any word till date. Then slowly, she got worse by the day. We tried as hard as we could to cure her of the trauma, but it wasn’t any better. Since then, her life has never remained the same” Lady Delia sniffed hard.

“Now this is heartbreaking because I can’t even imagine this happening to me. I feel sorry for the little girl” I cupped my forehead in my palms.

“Do you now understand why the Master became a monster? He swore to treat people the same way his wife was treated right in front of him. You can imagine the kind of pains they went through” Lady Delia blinked her eyes rapidly to stop herself from crying.

I bowed my head in pity because I was so touched by what she just said. Poor little girl!….
