The Alpha’s Slave

Emery’s POV

I glared hard at Mona like I was going to strike her dead with my eyes. That bi*ch! She’s the reason why I’m here in the first place. If only she had shut that mouth of hers, Lioness won’t have succeeded in giving me such a strenuous job to do.

“What are you glaring at me for? I’m not comfortable with the way you are staring at me” Mona snapped with hiss.

“I can’t believe I’m actually the one cutting coconuts, it’s been so long since I did something like this. I don’t do things like this anymore, but you made me go back to it again” I gritted my teeth speaking bitterly.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s not my fault that you choose to be stupid. You were the one picking on my friend, if you didn’t do that I’m sure we wouldn’t end up here” Mona rolled her eyes. She has never been less annoying.

“What do you think of yourself? Her savior? Or maybe her army? Someone who will save her anytime she’s about to get into trouble? You’re nothing but a gullible person” I started with a snort, and she rolled her eyes again.

“I’m sure it’s none of your business. You think everyone is going to be like you? Humph… You’re mistaken Emery. Not everyone will behave the way you do. Just because you cut off all ties with me for the fact that you became the Master’s favorite slave doesn’t mean she will do the same to me if she finds herself in a better position” Mona replied, and I laughed sarcastically.

“That’s what you think. If I were you I’d been looking for a way to get rid of that girl. She’s nothing but a threat to you and to me. She’s your best friend and sister, right? That’s what you think until she stabs in the back” I spoke with a soft tone of voice.

“The same way you did to me? I think you’re simply giving an explanation of yourself. You’re just trying to explain to me the kind of person you have been to me. I took you like a sister, and I protected you even if it means risking my life, but what did I get in return? Hatred? Wickedness? You concluded that I was no longer in your league just because you became the Master’s favorite slave. I’d rather you don’t compare Madison to yourself because she’s nothing like you” Mona defended her, and that annoyed me the more.

Like how did that Madison of a girl manage to get everyone’s affection? I have to get rid of her as soon as possible if I really want peace to reign.

“You’re quite ridiculous. I’m not surprised that you are not less foolish. You still think that everyone wants to be siblings with you, and that’s how she’s going to make life miserable for you someday” I growled, and continued cutting the coconuts.

I looked at the bags filled with coconut lying in front of me. Tears circulated in my eyes the moment I saw blisters on my palms. I can’t believe I’m the one doing this. I’ve always believed that I would never go back to doing stressful things like this.

Mona on the other hand was almost through with the coconut she was cutting. I guess she’s used to the suffering, but I’ve become to fragile that I can’t take such any longer.

“Curse you Lioness! I wish you’d just go back to wherever it is you came from” 8 cried within myself. There was no way Mona would agree to help me no matter how hard I beg. Gosh! This is tough.

Madison’s POV

I stared at Lady Delia with my eyes widened, and my mouth wide open. What did she just say to me?

“Are you seriously telling me that this little girl sitting on this bed can’t walk or talk?” I freaked out.

“That’s just the truth Madison. She was not like this one she was born. I mean Zara used to be a normal kid, and she used to live a happy life until what happened” Lady Delia started.

“I’m sorry if I have so many questions to ask you my lady, but I’m really curious to know the reason why she can’t walk or talk. I mean I find it very ridiculous, and unbelievable” I gulped hard, and lady Delia smiled at the child who stared at her like a statue with no atom of happiness.

I felt sorry for the poor girl, but there were lots of questions running through my mind, and I needed answers to it. Firstly, who is Zara? Where are her parents? Why was she locked up here? How did she end up crippled? Why is she dumb? Gosh! I have many questions.

“I know that you are very curious, but Zara’s life is a long and sad story that no one would wish to hear to witness” Lady Delia sniffed hard.

“To be honest Lady Delia, I want to help Zara. I want the child to go back to being a happy child, but I won’t be able to do that if I’m not being told what actually happened to her. I know my life growing up wasn’t the best, but I know it wasn’t as tough as hers. She’s a child, and doesn’t deserve this kind of hardship” I continued.

“We’ve done everything. I’ve visited so many doctors and herbalists so that I’d be able to get a cure to Zara’s disability, but they all proved abortive. I also want to see her happy again, but I think happiness is far away from her. She can’t be happy when she’s on a wheelchair” Lady Delia cried out.

“I made her speak for the first time in five years. Trust me on this Lady Delia, I’ll make her walk and continue speaking if you do me the favor of telling me everything I need to know about her” I assured her, and she smiled.

“Okay. Well her name is Zara, and she is….” Lady Delia started the story….
