Staying without my food!!!!!!!!

Petal's POV

"NO!!!." I yelled when I regained composure because I can't imagine myself been the personal maid of a monster.

"What did you just say?." He asked looking at me angrily.

Somehow his question made me quiver because of the way he sounded but I refuse to back down easily.

"I believe you heard me the first time, but nonetheless, I'll repeat myself. I said no, and I mean no in capital letters, like NOOOOO!." I repeated and stood up to leave.

"You're my mate and I get to decide your choices. You don't have much of a choice here." He stated.

"I'm your mate! I remember that, but when did mate begin to mean toy, cause you sound like you're talking to your favorite toy." I replied sarcastically.

I wonder where all these energy is coming from but I'mma use it while it lasts cause I know soon it would fade. I hope not.

"Petal! From this day henceforth, you are to be Ansel's personal maid but before she resumes, give her 25 lashes of the whip and let her stay in the dungeon for twenty four days without food and water for defiling the prince." The Alpha concluded with a tone of finality as he walked out.

I immediately ran up to him and blocked his track.

"Umm.......I clearly understand the whipping and dungeon part and I agree to it but the part I don't understand is the food part. I mean, can I please get some food there if not I might die even before I'm able to be your son's personal maid." I said, I'm not keeping quiet about my food ever again.

"Just get out of my way." He demanded and resumed walking and it was like the silence spell that hung on everyone got broken as jeers and chirps came from different angles.

I immediately walked out of the grand room and ran back to duties but I was brought back to receive my lashes. After that, I was taken back to the dungeon.

I'm to spend 3 days in this pretty place. You know that pretty place with swords everywhere, bones, blood, skulls, and all kind of thorns. What a beautiful place,, I muttered to myself again and my wolf, pearl just sighed.

"Pearl, you've got to put up with me in this....well dark prison." I coaxed.

"This is all your fault, why did you talk to mate like that?." Pearl queried.

"He insulted us first." I countered, I know parting with her mate after they've found each other would be crazy to her.

"But your's was intense, gawd, when the hell did you learn to be so sassy." Pearl demanded.

"I don't even know." I replied in a matter if fact.

"Great, you just got yourself the dumbest person of the year award." Pearl acquainted and I chuckled.

"Too bad, I'll have to be trapped inside of you when you're suffering." Pearl said in a regrettable voice.

" Love you too bitch." I said and smiled.

{3 days later}

I was sitting at a corner when I heard the dungeon door screech open, I felt so numb, weak and tired to even approach the door. They put me in here, they'll have to come and get me.

"Well, well, well, I presume you survived." That came the voice of the Alpha prince, prince Ansel.

Heavens knows how much I dreaded him.

I couldn't even bring myself to reply him, I couldn't even lift a finger, I just remained there knowing that any slight movement I made might kill me and I'm not kidding.

"I believe I'm talking to someone." Alpha Ansel questioned with an angry tone.

Someone please tell me when he talked to me? His first statement, he was literally talking to himself, I don't have strength to argue.

"Petal!!!." He screamed with something that looked like fright as he came dashing in to where I was laying down.

"Good thing you now know my name." I replied and he sighed.

"I thought you were dead!." He said slipping into his usual cold and stern demeanor.

"Are you the one that killed me? I need food." I demanded, I just don't want to hear any shit that ain't food.

"You'll have to be done with today's duties before eating." He said looking out the door.

"Well, that ain't gonna happen. If not, I'll just have to eat the food I'm supposed to serve you because I can't just die while I'm serving you." I retorted quickly keeping a nonchalant face.

"I wonder where you get the guts to talk to me like that." He queried suspiciously.

" I said I need food pleaseee." I pleaded cause I'm dying.

I said those words without looking at his face to determine the expression he's wearing... But that isn't important now, or is it?

Yeah it isn't, because even if I die now, I won't still get to see his face like ever again.

" Okay would get you something to eat.....but....."

I was about leaping for joy but when I heard the BUT, my hopes began to scrumble because I don't know what he's up to.

" But what? Say it already please." I demanded and watched him as he struggled within himself to say what was bugging him.

" Never mind." He replied after some minutes of satuong mute.

" Okay if you say so. Can I get the food now?" I asked him as I looked at him with those puppy eyes.

He scoffed and said, " Don't do that because it doesn't suit you." I immediately looked away.

" The guards would bring in your food." He answered my unanswered question and walked out.

I watched his back, the same minute he stepped out, that same minute a guard walked up to me with my food in a tray. I was shock for few seconds, I mean did he ask someone to bring my food and then stand by the door? Because it's obvious that what happened here.

I couldn't care less as I digged into the food, savouring the delicious taste.

But I was interrupted by a large thud...

Thud!!!
