Slaving the princess

Chapter 4

By: Tofunmi Nikky

Elena's POV:

I had been working as a slave for almost two god-damned months in this stinking shithole of Crescent Moon pack. My life turned upside down just about two months ago. I turned eighteen one month back but still haven't found my mate. 

Anyway, they called me their slave and I followed their every order as long as it was all about doing chores. I could still quite grab how I was sold into slavery to this pack two months ago. I could still remember how Killian had drugged me into unconsciousness and sold me into slavery to a farway pack, which is here.

I guess he'd given them a hint of my identity cause ever since the pack members knew I was a princess, they started treating me badly. I was even beyond shocked when I learnt every single one of them are Omegas. It was rumoured, "The pack is known for their love for Omegas, and also their hatreds towards high ranked beings."

"How dare you try to seduce my mate!?."

Alexa barged into my room without even bothering to knock. Curse me for not locking the door last night when I finished my chores. I forced myself to get up, even when I was feeling all woozy and weak out of tiredness.

As I rose up, Alexa waited until we were now face to face with each other. I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision before taking a moment to look at her real close.

She has light blond curly hair that fell down to her large breasts, framing her face do well that all male werewolves would come drooling at her feet. Her neck was decorated with more glittering accessories that screamed wealth. There was, however, one thing that made me feel unease about her presence. Her face was burning red with anger, her nostrils flaring towards me with rage.

I was pulled out of my short trance of thoughts as she lifts her hand to slap me. I was quick enough to dodge it but it scredge against my cheek a little.

Bloody hell. What could possibly be her problem this time around?.

"For trying to steal my mate, just know I wouldn't hesitate to slit up your throat next time."she barked.

"I don't know what you're talking about."I retorted, in between managing to keep my voice low as ever. I wouldn't want to challenge her temper and end up with no food for at least the next three days.

"Like seriously, huh?. Why can't you just quit the pretense?."And there it is, she started drawing near me and I kept taking steps back each time.

My back hit the wall and soon, she could be seen towering over me. I directed my head to the side, not missing her murderous glare at my figure. Her, a solid 5'8 footer compared to my measly 5 feet height. Had there been any audience watching now, I would be tagged as s mouse being eaten by a deadly snake.

Amid the tensed up atmosphere, I titled my head upward at the wall clock and found it was already 5 in the morning.

"Shit!. I'm late."I panicked. Normally, am supposed to be up at 4:30 Am and be right there in the kitchen to cook for about 567 hungry wolves. But here I am exchanging words with the possessive Alexa, whhereby she won't be the one receiving my punishment and deeds for making the whole pack go about with empty stomachs.

Before she could knew it, I dodged under her arms that might have caged me while I was frightening over how the time could have waited for me, and sauntered out of the room.

Dashing into the huge kitchen, I hurriedly tied up my hair into a messy bun and got to work.

"I heard our Alpha is finally coming back to the pack after two months of him being away."Two set of Omegas walked into the kitchen, chattering among themselves. They seems to not notice my presence as they turned to grab two baskets full of flowers each from the aisle. Before they walked out of the kitchen completely, a few more of their words got to my hearing.

"Alpha Chase have been my crush for the part six years and--"

Even though that was all I could grab, I found myself scoffing aloud to their last sentence. What a pair of childish female wolves. My lips etched up, itching to give even a small laugh but it's all futile. Heaven knows when last I even gave a laugh.

I was about dismissing the two Omegas talk when a word replayed itself to my face again. 'Chase'. That name!, I could still remember hearing it somewhere before. 

Yes!, I get it. The guy who has the whole school hallway cleared up at his arrival. The name sounds so familiar to the guy Alexa had warned me about back then. I could also still recollect the guy mouthing just one word before I flashed my way down to my class. "Mate." he had muttered.

Could he be my mate?. I tried to reason.

I quickly shake off the memories and silly thoughts before it would mess up my head. I already have more damaged up collections of damages in my head, and I wouldn't want to add one again. Not yet.

Thirty five minutes later. 

I just finished cooking the eggs, bacon, toasts, some croissant, cheese sandwiches, and breakfast burritos for the whole pack. And unfortunately, I haven't had the time to stuff w croissant in my hungry dry mouth or drink water, as I was already getting behind the clock.

I quickly set up the tables and placed all the food that I cooked for breakfast. After several minutes, a bunch of hungry werewolves started sitting down on the pack table and instantly devouring everything at hindsight. The former Alpha; I heard he ruled an unknown pack back then instead though, William, and Alexa were there too, eating their share of the bounty.

While I stood in a corner nearby and silently watched as the food I created vanished for a short period of time, having none for myself caused a severe pain in my stomach. Some werewolves who were passing by subsequently bumped me on my shoulders, threw water on my dirty apron, and kicked my foot intentionally. Nonetheless, I care little for the brutes, but the pain I was feeling at the moment was insufferable.

Seeing that they were all eating happily while minding their own business, I stealthily left the dining room and made my way to the nearest bathroom.

As soon as I got there, I closed the door and stumbled forward. I leaned on the wall to balance myself and attempted to puke. Clutching my stomach, I knelt down and tried to remember some positive memories in a bid to make the pain go away.

I felt my body weaken with lack of food and water for the past two days. I opened the bathroom door and was practically in a hurry to get to my took when my head suddenly bumped into a large wall.

Strange. If I remember correctly the structure and the built of the packhouse, I'm pretty sure there aren't supposed to be any wall blocking the stairway.

I lifted my head up to look at what was hindering me from getting to the four walls of my room as I stepped back. But what caught my eyesight left me rather shocked and dumbfounded, my eyes bulging to a big pop.

"Y-You."I shuttered, my slacked jaw still on the floor waiting to be regained.

What came out of his mouth next took me aback and made me momentarily stunned. "Mate!." Now, I wonder if am starting to hear things.
