Slaved To The Alpha

“It isn’t just about the marriage of two people, it’s about the bond that they have, the bond that the two will share and create.” She told me, being enthusiastic almost the whole time.

I then thought of it as just some ceremony that labels a couple as husband and wife, but I don’t want any of those things. “If you want me to marry a woman, then no, but I already have plenty of women that can satisfy me, that can satisfy my every need. So why would I even bother entering into a relationship and having commitment when I can have all of those in different women, and without even forming attachments.” I told my mother with a straight face and with no hesitation whatsoever, I felt proud of what I said.

But to my surprise, she took what I said to her quite offensive and revolting. The look on her face the moment she processed what I had just said was priceless, but I knew as well that I was going to get a mouthful from her. “Is this really how you view women? Just some toy that fulfills your needs?”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I didn’t know what I was going to say, I couldn’t respond to her question.

“You know what? I don’t care about that, you are required to find a Luna. The pack needs a Luna, you know that right? I don’t care what you do with your free time, but I do care about what you do with the pack and its future, so you better make your decisions carefully.” She started to get serious.

I was thinking of just bolting out of the room without even talking or looking at her, then she said something else. “You would also need to make connections, work on building alliances, without all of those, you wouldn’t even be competent enough to lead.” My mother started to lecture me about life again, about how I should be matured enough to make these kinds of decisions myself without having someone else telling me what to do.

There were a couple of moments of silence between us until she talked first, she looked like she had wanted to tear my head off right there on the spot. “You will go to the Annual Pack Gathering, meet your fate, the woman you will marry, work on building your alliances, whether you like it or not, you are going. This has already been decided, I tried to ease it to you but you just wouldn’t let me, so you had left me with no choice.

I was forced to go, I never wanted any of this, I never wanted to get the Annual pack gathering in the first place, but when my mother gets serious like this about something, she almost always gets everything she wants.

Krisna’s POV

Another one of those cold nights, I am alone in the kitchen, cleaning up after her mess again. “Krisna!” Someone is calling out to me out of nowhere, I wondered who was calling me at night, I heard it coming from the dining room.

“Krisna! Come here!” The voice was getting louder and louder as each moment passed, I then rushed to where the voice was. When I got to the dining room, I saw her, Asthrid Olimp, calling out to me.

“What took you so long? I have been calling for you for hours!” She told me as she looked fuming again.

Hours would be quite an exaggeration, I only heard her call my name a minute ago. “I’m sorry, Ms. Olimp, I must not have heard you.” I told her with a sorry tone in my voice.

She looks like she is about to explode at that moment, her expression is quite amusing if anyone else would see how she looks. I don’t know how I am able to keep myself from laughing out loud right in front of her face.

“Are you deaf or something? This freak doesn’t even know how to listen.” She is calling me names, but I handled it like a champ, I don’t let my emotions get the best of me and just swallowed my pride completely.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Olimp, I swear I didn’t hear you earlier.” I kept my head down and told her the truth.

She looked at me with disgust, she looked like she had just seen something hideous. “Argh, you know what fine, I’ll let this go, I was calling you earlier to make sure that no one leaves the mansion at night, I suspect someone is sneaking in and out without permission. If you see anything out of the ordinary, report immediately to me, only to me.” She made sure to emphasize the ‘me’ part, I think the Annual pack gathering is actually getting to her, she seemed paranoid about almost everything.

“Yes, I’ll make sure no one else leaves without you knowing.” I just obeyed her order just to get Asthrid off of my back.

She stared at me for a couple of seconds before leaving the room, I thought she was actually on to me, my heart was beating so fast, I could literally feel it beating, I thought she was going to find out what I was doing.

After getting back to what I was doing earlier, I finished washing the dishes, cleaning the entire dining room down to every corner. I was excited.

Asthrid was suspecting someone leaving the mansion without her permission, I don’t know how she even knew someone was leaving the mansion. But that doesn’t matter right now, what matters at the moment is that she doesn’t know who, so my cover is still safe.

She doesn’t know that I actually sneak out at night. I have been going to a beautiful forest through the mansion’s secret passage that I found a while back. It has improved me both physically because I could exercise it also helps me maintain my mental health after being emotionally abused by her. After that, I went to town.

I was walking near town when I saw someone being robbed. My instinct was telling me to just turn around and let nature take its course, but I knew deep inside my heart, that I had to intervene or I knew that I wouldn’t let myself live it down.

I was about to approach the man robbing someone, when suddenly someone grabbed me from behind. I thought that I was about to get robbed myself, but then that’s where I met him… Fravis.

“What are you doing? Do you think that you alone can stop that man? Who is holding a knife in his hand?” He said to me in a charming voice as he looked serious.
