Slaved To The Alpha

“Have you found anyone that interests you, Alpha? Ah, what I mean is that… is there someone who finally got your attention?” She took her courage to finally ask him a question. His cheeks were blushing as she looked at Grant in his eyes. He was too shiny as if she couldn’t reach him, but being an Alpha’s daughter was boosting her confidence up. She was thinking that maybe she had a chance because they were almost in the same position.

Alpha Grant gave a faded smile and looked far away. “That question is too unexpected. Why did you ask that so suddenly?” He asked her back, and it made Asthrid look uncomfortable. She also didn’t know why she asked him that so bluntly. It was not as if they were close with each other, but she felt that it was a great way to start a conversation.

“I-I’m sorry for asking about that.” She laughed nervously and then she slowly shook her head left and right. “Just forget about it, Alpha, that was so rude of me to even ask.” She said in a low tone of voice. She was really good at acting, but this time, it felt like her shyness was real.

It took Grant a while to answer her, but he was only thinking. “Well, about Krisna, she’s your personal maid, right?” He also suddenly blurted out of the blue. That snapped the finger out of her, she didn’t expect that the Alpha would be the one to open up a topic about the woman she hated the most. Asthrid unconsciously clenched her fists and her eyes were now burning. She wanted to run off and beat the hell out of the little maggot. She was not here, but the Alpha was still mentioning her. What was with that woman that she didn’t have? She was not even beautiful like her, that was what Asthrid thought.

She suddenly rolled her eyes heavenwards. “Psh. Yeah, she is.” She told Grant and then she thought of commencing the plan Mabelle told her a while back. She would bad mouth Krisna in front of Grant to make him lose interest in her.  “And to be honest about her, I don’t like her for being too lazy. She wouldn’t do the things that I would ask her to do although most of them were just easy. It would only take her a few minutes to finish them, but she would just lie on the couch with her phone on.” She said in an annoyed tone of voice.

The look on the Alpha’s face was a bit baffling, he wasn’t so sure how he would react to what she said, so he just let her talk more of it. “Another thing about her, being a maid means that you have to obey your employer, right? But she won’t, instead, she was talking back at me sometimes. And there was this one time that she would shout back at me. Was that a good characteristic of a professional maid? Sometimes, I just really don’t know what to do with her anymore. And if you just live with Krisna under the same roof? Og, geez, don’t even think about it, Alpha, she was really untidy and disgusting. I don’t even want to state them one by one since there are too many to mention.” She continuously told the Alpha, and the smile on her face said it all. She was smiling in victory.

3rd Person POV

“Really? That’s how she is?” He asked as if he was not believing any word she just said.

Asthrid nodded continuously. “Totally, she really is. We definitely have the opposite personality, if I may say.” She told him in a confident tone then they continued to dance together.

After Asthrid and the Alpha danced with each other, Asthrid went on the side and breathed a sigh of relief. That was really hard to do. Just talking to the Alpha was tiring enough because she was nervous and conscious the whole time, let alone bad-mouthing a person and pretending that she was alright.

She thought the Alpha was being turned off by what she was telling him. She thought she was successful about bad-mouthing Krisna. Well, after all, she just insisted on bringing Krisna to the ball to embarrass her in front of the public… in front of the Alpha. But even though she already did, she felt unsatisfied. She wanted more of it. She wanted to really embarrass her, like putting the spotlight on her and making people laugh at her. In that way, maybe even her soul could finally have a sense of inner peace.

At that moment, Grant went to sit on the side to rest a little. He just finished dancing with Asthrid and he felt really exhausted. He was disinterested in Krisna in all aspects, he didn’t like what she did and said about Krisna. As Krisna’s employer, she must be protecting her image, and not just blurt it out to someone. So, instead of getting turned off about Krisna, Grant ended up not being interested in her after all.

“Hey, Alpha, what’s up? You look tired.” Greco suddenly said out of the blue. He just got back inside the venue hall and he seemed like he enjoyed himself too much.

Grant sighed, he certainly looked really tired just by dancing with Asthrid. He was thinking that he didn’t want that to happen ever again. “Yes, I am. So, can you please get me something to drink? Things are making me really thirsty.” He commanded him in a little bit of an annoyed tone and Greco went to get a punch right away.

While Grant suddenly felt like he needed to use the restroom first. He went out of the venue hall to use the restroom.

“Where is that useless little maggot?” Asthrid uttered as she was roaming around the venue hall, trying to look for Krisna. “That woman even does a single thing right! I told her to just stay at the corner and won’t move an inch, but she would still be as stupid as all the people in this place.” She added in an annoyed tone of voice. Her eyebrows were meeting in the middle with her forehead creased. Even Mabelle was not anywhere to be found, she was supposed to go and talk to her again about their plan B, but she was not in the venue hall. Maybe she was talking to someone again outside the hall.

As she roamed her eyes around, she unexpectedly saw Krisna getting something to drink. She got tired and hungry just by standing alone at the corner and her stomach started to growl. It was like she hadn’t had some good food for so long and this was the first since they got here in this place for the Annual Pack Gathering.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
