In The Alpha's Mansion

My teeth were still chattering and I was shivering with cold. The pain in my privates had subsided by the time I got to the gate of the house and found it ajar. I gently pushed it open and walked inside.

I slowly shut the gate behind me and saw the key in the keyhole which was unusual. I was wondering why anyone would forget the key in the keyhole when I suddenly remembered that Luther told me that he would leave the gate open as well as the front door.

I turned the key to lock the gate, then, removed it from the keyhole. I turned around and my eyes swept across the house to make sure no one was watching me.

The bright lights around the house illuminated the whole compound, so, I could see everything clearly. Satisfied that no one was watching me, I headed to the front door of the house.

I got to the door and saw that it was left ajar like the gate. Luther left the gate and the door open because he doesn't want his evil deed to be revealed, I thought bitterly as I entered the living room and shut the door behind me.

The living room was dim as there were lights on each side of the staircase which leads to the hallway. I quickly looked around to see if someone was watching me but there was no one in sight. The living room was as silent as a grave.

I locked the door and removed the key from the keyhole. I walked to a large drawer and dropped the keys on top of it.

I walked to the stairs and started climbing up. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my privates and felt dizzy. I grimaced in pain as I quickly held onto the banister for support.

I climbed the stairs slowly taking one step at a time. I got to the landing and stood for a moment as I waited for the pain to subside.

After some seconds, I felt a bit relieved and continued climbing the stairs. I stepped into the hallway and stood for a moment. My eyes swept down to the end of the hallway.

Several fluorescent lights were hung on the ceiling which illuminated the hallway. I winced in pain as I started walking down to my room.

I walked past Alpha Don's room, Luna Viola's room, Luther's room, Luther's younger brother's room, his sister's room, and seven guest rooms that had no one living in them. The guest rooms separated my family rooms from those of the Alpha's family.

After the seventh empty guest room, my parent's room was the next, followed by my elder brother's room before my own which was the last one at the end of the hallway.

There were other rooms downstairs where the other servants live but I and my family were the only ones that were privileged to live upstairs with Alpha Don and his family.

I thought the reason was that my father happens to be the Alpha's favorite servant despite being indebted to him.

I got to the front of my door and slowly opened it and entered. The room was dark as I gently closed the door and groped around the wall close to the door until I touched the light switch and flipped it on. Light flooded the room and I turned around to look at my scanty shabby room.

My eyes swept across my small room, a little bit bigger than a cubicle. The wall was painted grey giving the room a somewhat foreboding aura. There was a small mattress on the floor.

There was a dilapidated wardrobe that looked as if it would crumble at the slightest touch.

Just beside the wardrobe was a clothes rack where some of my clothes hung. Most of the clothes were threadbare and faded. To say that they looked like a collection of rags would be hitting the nail on the head.

Close to the bed was a rickety reading table and a chair.

At the end of the room was a door leading to the bathroom.

Beside the window was a wall mirror which my mother bought for me after I turned thirteen.

I slowly walked to the mirror and stood before it. I gazed at myself in the mirror and instantly froze. I couldn't believe I was looking at myself.

The girl staring back at me was all wet with disheveled shoulder-length hair plastered on her scalp and looked very sad.

The side of my head which I hit against the stone had a small cut and was slightly swollen. There were bruises on my arms and legs.

My wet yellow dress was torn at the front and side and had several patches of mud stains on it. I was in a total mess! As I continued to gaze at myself in the mirror, it was as if I was looking at a stranger.

I touched the swollen part of my head and winced in pain. I let out a heavy sigh and started stripping.

My dress dropped to the floor and I was in my birthday suit. I bent down to pick up the dress and dropped it in the laundry basket. I then entered the bathroom.

I need a warm bath and thank goodness, there was a water heater in my bathroom. I picked up my bath soap and sponge and went under the shower. Then I turned it on. I let out a sigh of relief as the warm water cascaded over my body.

I slowly lathered up myself and scrubbed my aching body as gently as possible. Tears streamed down my face as I washed my body and hair which was sandy.

I raised my face to the warm water and let out a heavy sigh as it soothed my body and nerves. I stayed in the shower for almost thirty minutes.

After washing the suds off my body, I left the shower and picked up a towel from the rack at the end of the bathroom.

I wrung my hair with the towel and dried my body. After I was dried up, I put the towel back on the rack and left the bathroom.

I entered my room and stood in front of the mirror to gaze at myself. There was a significant difference in my appearance compared to before I had the shower.

The swell on my head was still quite visible as well as the bruises on my body but overall, I looked and felt much better.

I walked to my cloth rack and picked up my faded pink nightgown, and carefully put it on avoiding my bruised parts. Then I turned off the light switch and lay on my bed. I was lying on my back as I recalled the unfortunate events of the night.

"How do I explain the injuries to my body? I can't tell anyone that I was raped by Luther cos if Alpha Don and Luna Viola get to know, it might cause a whole lot of trouble for me and my family," I muttered and sighed heavily.

"I can't bear to see my parents in pain because of me, after all they have been through," I muttered with a confused expression.

After some minutes of pondering about my situation and the consequences that it might likely cause if I reveal it, I decided it is best not to tell anyone.

I would lie to them that I had an accident in the rain. Hopefully, they will believe me and not probe further.

"Why did this happen to me? Oh, Moon Goddess, help me," I prayed as tears ran down my face. I cried silently for some minutes before I slowly drifted off to sleep.
