Brielle

I was trembling as we got into the living room. I went on my knees, my gaze plastered to the ground while Conner walked inside with Nikolai.

"Go down." Alpha Ryker ordered to my shock and Conner obeyed, smiling nervously.

"Asher, who is this?" Ryker asked and Asher looked around, slightly perplexed.

"That’s Conner, the head of slaves for the..."

"No, this." His hand pointed at me, filling me with more fear.

"The... Your slave, Alpha." Asher answered with a shaky voice and Ryker nodded softly.

"What are the rules in this house about things that belong to me?" He asked Conner who was beginning to shake visibly.

"N... Never to touch anything that belongs to you, Alpha." He stammered as sweat covered his face.

"Never, never touch what belongs to me!" Ryker snarled, making everyone flinch with fear.

He stood up, walking over with his claws protruded, Conner was filled with fear, almost about to die and Ryker stood him in front of him, his claw on Ryker’s neck.

"You laid your filthy hands on my property twice, Conner... I overlooked the first but I’m not going to do the same for the second." Ryker announced and Conner laid flat, shaking.

"Please... Please Alpha... It was a mistake... I promise never to lay a finger on her... Alpha... I promise never to touch her..." He stammered as he spoke rapidly and Ryker sneered.

"You’ll do more than that... You will never utter a word to her, look at her, touch her or else I’ll pull out your eyes." He ordered and Conner nodded hastily.

"Yes... Yes alpha, I’ll never look, touch or talk to her, I swear on my life, I swear on the goddess with everything I own." He vowed and his lips curled up.

"Good, cut off his dick." With those words, he walked away while Conner screamed and pleaded for mercy.

"Please... Alpha! Please... I promise never to go near her... Alpha!" He screamed as he was dragged out by some guards.

I stood there in shock, frozen to death as everything replayed in my head. Did he just cut off a man’s dick for molesting me? Alpha Conner deserved to be punished, this felt a little extreme...

But he was doing it for me? Was this a form of protection for me? This was shocking as hell. Now with Conner punished, no guard would dare move an inch close to me.

"Come." Nikolai ordered and I rose up immediately, my body was still in shock as as Nikolai led me out, I decided to speak up about what happened at the stables.

"I... I’m sorry for hugging you, forgive me, please." I whispered with my head bowed and my cheeks burning up.

"Never do such a thing again, the alpha would behead me if he does as much as perceives your scent on me." He ordered and I nodded hastily.

"I’m so sorry..."

"You will work in the pack house from today, this is Myla, she’ll assign you to your daily duties." With that, he walked away while Myla stared at me with a smile.

"I’m so glad you’re still alive... I heard about everything. You’ve been going through a tough time in this house and you’re tough and you’ll scale through." She advised and I nodded, exhaling softly.

"Since there’s very little to do today, you’ll be assigned to the kitchen, you’ll help the chef prepare dinner and when that’s done, you can return to your room. Have you eaten, my dear?" She demanded as we walked into the kitchen and my stomach rumbled in response.

"Have your meal and when you’re done, join the chef." She instructed before walking away and I smiled as she handed over my food to me.

I was having my meal at the long table that felt like a dinner table for the maids when a few maids walked inside.

"Isn’t that the slave that used to work for Elena?"

"Yes, the one that was taken to the den but the alphas were kind enough to rescue her."

"I heard Alpha Dylan is her mate and he wants her back while the Alphas are keeping her here to frustrate Alpha Dylan..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I heard she ran away, how stupid, why would anyone run away from an alpha? Being with an alpha is like a dream come through, especially for weak omegas like this, she’s so dumb."

"Why is she here? Does she think she’s one of us now because she worked for Elena or because she was mated to an alpha?" A maid demanded harshly and she walked over, placing her hands on the table while staring at me intently.

"You don’t belong here, slave." She snarled and the others giggled as they watched us. I continued eating, ignoring the maid which infuriated her the more.

"Are you deaf? I just said you don’t belong here. Do you think you’re worthy of stepping foot in here?" She demanded and as I opened my mouth to speak, the chef cleared his throat.

"Myla brought her here, she’s now a part of us. I’m chef Hugo." He introduced me with a small smile and I nodded.

"What?" Their faces were filled with shock and they glanced at each other with disbelief.

"Is this a joke? Do they just bring in anybody to be around the alpha’s meal?" Someone mumbled and the girl in front of me scoffed.

"Don’t get on your high horses slave, you don’t belong here, you belong in the stables tending to horses that are supposed to trample you and you also belong in the den, where you’re supposed to be used to the brink while your remains should be devoured by the hungry wolves out there." She snarled, chuckling as she walked away.

"Ignore her, Rose can be very annoying, you don’t need to pay too much attention to her." Hugo whispered with a smile and I nodded.

"Thank you so much." I mumbled with my head bowed.
