Thirty two


Kyra sighed as she stood up from the bed she had been laying on and slowly made her way to the chair at the corner of her room. It's been two hours since fled from Alpha Anton's throne room. She wondered what the man was thinking when he even made mention of her having the attributes of a Luna.

It was wrong of him to say such a thing to someone like her. He even refused for her to work and pay him money he gave to her father to buy her. If he sees her as someone important enough to be a Luna, surely he would have agreed to releasing her because she could never be anyone important as long as she was still someone he bought.

Must be some sort of joke to him. Maybe he lives giving people hope and squashing it. He was kind to his pack members, maybe she was the only one he treated like this.

Kyra sighed as she grabbed a hold of her chair, before sitting down heavily on it. Her hands moved to her stomach at the same time, it made a rumbling noise. OK, she was so hungry right now, but there was nothing she could do. She pinched the underside of her stomach lightly as though it were going to help quench the hunger. But, it did not.

She did not even know where she left Cynthia. The girl has not been in here since she got back from Alpha Anton's throne room.

"Maybe, I should go out there to get something for myself?" She mumbled to herself.

But, Kyra couldn't bring herself to stand up from her seat. What if she went  out, and the other slaves became mean to her? Anton might have warned them but who knew if they only kept their distance because Cynthia was with her and could report them?

She knew how maids behaved. They were the same in her father's palace. She won't be taking any chances. The bravado from this morning was gone.

Kyra closed her eyes as she let the stress she was going through ease through her soul. She heard the door opening and sighed happily. Cynthia had finally decided to look for her.

"Can I come in?" 

Kyra turned quickly when she heard an unfamiliar voice. A maid she's never seen before was standing in the opened door and smiling at her. She reminded her of when Cynthia first came to find her.

"Is there something wrong?" She managed as she sat upright. 

The maid shook her head lightly. "No, miss," She said at once before she stepped into the room,fully. "Alpha Anton sent me to fetch you."

"Why?"

She shrugged in response. "You have to eat with him at the breakfast table. He says it's something that you can't refuse to do for whatever reason."

Kyra frowned as she thought about it fora while. She did not want to see him after their little talk in his throne room. "I decline," she said at last.

"But..."

"Do what I say please. If you wish for me to eat, then, it would be nice to do so in this room. Other than that, I don't wish to go anywhere.” She then remembered that alpha Anton would never take no for an answer and would send the maid back or even come by himself to fetch her. She changed her excuse. “Please tell him that I feel unwell.”

Kyra's words seemed to have gotten the desired effect because the maid bowed as she pulled her hand behind her before leaving the room.

Kyra felt her wolf howl in displeasure for some unknown reason, but she ignored her. There was no way that she could ignore the fact that giving into all of Alpha Anton's advances would bring serious problems for her.

With a sigh, she waited for the aftermath of her decision. 

Kyra didn't need to wait long because the door pulled open a bit, and the same maid showed up with a tray of food and something that looked like apple juice. She wasn't sure about it, but she was pleasantly surprised.

"I didn't imagine that the Alpha would agree to what I had said," she mumbled softly.

The maid placed the food before her and shrugged. "I got an earful, but the Alpha was not really angry about it though. But, I don't want to keep being in such awkward situations," the maid murmured the last part under her breath but Kyra heard her.

Kyra gave her a pitiful look as she leaned against the table, taking a diced meat and egg into her mouth. It was too yummy as she chewed and she felt her hunger ease away like it had never been there in the first place.

She swallowed quietly. "I'm sorry you felt pushed in a rough spot, but I couldn't eat this way in front of the Alpha. The man makes me very anxious. I hope you would understand," She managed.

She watched as the maid lowered her head in acknowledgement. Kyra went back to eating her food like there was no tomorrow, and that made her slightly happy. The food was more delicious than before, and she had no idea if it was because she was hungry or something else entirely.

A knock sounded on the door, causing her to moan in displeasure. The maid was suddenly so antsy as she moved to the door, throwing it slightly open. Kyra followed the maid's movement thinking it was weird. She found herself looking at Alpha Anton in plain black clothes.  

He looked absolutely breathtaking. And, she hated the fact she noticed that aspect of him.

The maid looked flustered as he sidestepped her, despite her continuous obeisance. 

"Leave," he said simply. 

Kyra rose to her feet at the same time the maid ran as fast as she could, out of there. All she could do was look at him softly. He camly made his way to her like he had all day.

"You refused to come downstairs to eat with me," He stated as a matter of fact. “I know that you are not sick. It was just your excuse to avoid me.”

She gulped. "I didn't see the need for it since we are not exactly equals. Remember that I told you that I would love for us to be master and slave only. And I'm really sick.” She winced at her own lie when he arched a brow at her.

He moved closer to her and his fingers softly found its way in her hair and he touched it lightly. "And, I told you that it's not going to work. I can't treat you like I treat the maids.You are more than that."

"Why wouldn't you? You bought me."

"You're back to this talk," He grumbled as he dropped his hand from her hair.

She sighed. "You can't take it away just because you don't like what I say. It's the fact that binds both of us together. It's the reason I'm here, even if you like to think that it's because of something else."

Kyra watched as he leaned even further to her, and she imagined that he was going to kiss her, but there was nothing to do about that. And, that was much more infuriating than anything she had imagined.

"Kyra," He said instead, "If this invisible barrier seems to be the problem between us, why don't I eliminate it?"

She gave him a look, as she moved further into his face. Alpha Anton had on a sly smile, and she could see that he enjoyed rattling her so much. "This is not a game of rugby where you can do things like that. It's about power dynamics."

"Even if I say that you can be my girlfriend?"

"What?”
