Amara: The Alpha's slave mate

July 12My birthday was fast approaching, and with each day that passed it felt like I was moving one step closer to the guillotine of my fate. Each morning there was a sick feeling in my stomach, a nausea that grew stronger as the reality of my fate started to take hold, because while our lives here were not easy, not simple, not happy or free they were not the worst they could be either.Today I had been assigned to the library, a long and tedious but easy job. I climbed the ladder to the upper shelves and wiped the cloth along the shiny wood removing the thin layer of dust. Keira and I were on night duty tonight, yet another job I hated, although we all hated this one, so once I was finished in here, I would grab a quick lunch and retire to the slaves quarters to grab some sleep so that I would be up all night ready to answer the call of the Alpha and his family in case they needed anything.If we were ever to be on the receiving end of the Alphas anger it would be in the night hou

July 13I made my way quietly down to the kitchens, the whole time hoping that Grace and Tara were okay, only to walk in and find the two of them sat at the table.“Amara.” Grace jumped up to greet me, her face one of concern, a look that was going to stick if she didn’t stop.“Are you both okay?” I asked the two girls, neither looked like they had been crying, or that they were injured.“Yes, they didn’t touch us, we just showed them to their rooms, and they dismissed us.” Tara stated from her still seated position as she looked me over. “How badly are you hurt?” She asked me and I frowned for a moment before realising that they had assumed the worst, I had been in that room with him for over an hour.I thought about what actually had happened, but my wolf was begging me not to say anything, not to tell them the truth. I didn’t understand why but she had never led me wrong before.“I’m okay, no extra injuries. I’m just tired. I’m going to go back to bed.” I answered as I did just tha

July 13“Okay.” The word was out of my mouth before I could even really think about it, then suddenly I was nervous again. What the hell had I just agreed to?With a tentative smile the Alpha stepped away from me and pulled his shirt over his head, I vaguely heard him speak but quite honestly, I think a tornado could have swept through the building and I wouldn’t have noticed.My wolf was yelping like a sex starved horny teenager, telling me to do all manner of dirty things to the man and his many, many muscles, one particular suggestion had even my cheeks flaming and I was used to her inappropriate chatter.“What was that thought?”“Sorry?” I asked, my eyes snapping up to see an amused expression on his handsome face.“What was that thought, the one the turned your cheeks pink?” He asked and my face flamed, bright red, no way was I sharing that, nuh huh I would take the punishment.“Nothing.” I mumbled and he laughed, actually laughed, his head thrown back his muscles rippling, and o

July 16“What do you mean? What does he want you to do?” The elderly woman asked, closing the door behind her and taking a seat on the bed beside me.‘We’re beyond keeping secrets now, tell her, tell her everything. We need help.’ My wolf urged and I let out the deepest of sighs, dropping the lace onto the bed beside me and turned saddened eyes to the woman that had raised me.“The visiting Alpha, Alpha Williams. He’s my fated mate.” I stated, and watched as her jaw dropped, opened and closed before finally snapping shut. Under any other circumstance, I would have laughed aloud. Mrs H always had something to say, she was demure and conducted herself with proper decorum, she was never speechless.“I found out the night he arrived. Alpha Westley gave me Grace and Tara to the visitors, to use as they saw fit, but none of them touched us. I showed him to a room and he spent an hour asking me questions. Then when I was out in the gardens with Kyle and he requested my presence. My side was

July 16The tension in the room was palpable, with each second my nerves increased. I was out of my depth here. I had no idea what this man expected of me. No idea what was acceptable and what wasn’t. He seemed to get angry at the slightest provocation, but the things I thought would stir that anger often didn’t.“Greyson and Anders will scout the house, try to find out what’s going on. For now, we just need to stay put.” The Alpha informed taking a seat on the edge of the bed and watching me with curios eyes. Eyes that saw entirely too much. It was terrifying.“Are you okay?” He asked and I gasped in a lungful of air before nodding with jerky movements. “You’re safe here Amara.” The dark-haired man stated with a frown and I considered that.I don’t think I would truly feel safe anywhere anymore. Alpha Westley would always be a threat, a guiding force in the back of my mind that had me questioning everything. His way of life was the only one I knew and speaking casually with an Alpha
