The Alpha's Enslaved Luna

Alpha Ethan’s POV.

I couldn't bear to see her kneeling before me. Her presence made my body seize for a moment and my wolf wanted to jump out of my body.

“What are you standing there for? C'mon lift her off her feets… she's your mate, you have just found your mate.” My wolf, Roy roared from within me.

“Oh, please, don't you see there's no time for all these talks? You're gonna spill this out for me.” I tried my best to silence it.

I stared down at her,and the strong cinnamon scent coming from her body caused a weird reaction in me, I’d to use both my palms to cover my nose from inhaling it.

“I'm very sorry,Sir.” She continued begging me.

“Are you going to just stand there and watch her beg you? You guys have been bound together by the moon goddess…”

I was tired of listening to my wolf, I had to do something. And I didn't like the way Alpha Tyler was staring intently at me, it seemed like he noticed my body react with her. Or maybe not.

“Please, take her out of my sight!” I forced myself to speak but I made sure to retain that authority in my voice, I didn't want them suspecting anything was going on.

Alpha Tyler nodded and ordered the guards to take her away.

I hope they don't hurt her…wait…what am I doing? I realized myself when I caught Alpha Tyler goggling at me.

“What?...Is anything the problem?” I asked him firmly, my eyes fixed on him.

He just shook his head and sharply walked away.

I briskly stepped out of the porch, I needed to inhale and exhale fresh air. The whole mansion smelled of her. I would have lost it.

When I got out in the open, I gazed at the end of the field where creeks were flowing through the little rocks, in-between them, then out back. It was more like it formed a fountain when the water reached the top. I tried my possible best, all means to think about something else, something different but all my efforts failed, they all directed me back to one thing—the strange plebeian maid.

“What is even special about her?” I asked my wolf.

“Everything is , she is your—”

“Nah, I disagree.” I mocked, “ Maybe, there's a mistake somewhere, maybe… The moon goddess skipped the one meant for me.”

“You have no right to say that, the moon goddess is always right!”

“Not this time.” I teased, “I mean, take a look at her, she couldn't even stand her ground…she is just an incompetent weakling.”

“Just because she didn't react to the hate speech her masters said to her?” My wolf, Roy inquired.

“Yes. I mean—”

“Oh, please just shut up. You know nothing at all.” my wolf cut in, “What about you, I noticed how you felt sorry for her when she was slapped by Alpha Tyler… Why didn't you help her out?...Why didn't you save her?... Why do you try so hard to suppress the pain you are feeling? ”

“It's none of your business. I just don't like her, that's all. Why does this even bother anyway? We have more pressing issues than wasting our time on an ordinary maid.” I tried to cover up.

“So, what?...”

We argued for a long time, I got tired and pissed of how it kept on flooding me with questions that were unnecessary and for the first time in my thirty-two years of living in this world, my wolf and I quarreled because of who? One girl—a mere servant.

They dragged Emma to an enclosed area at the back of the fields, a place that was far away from the pack , so far that no one else would hear her voice. They tied both her arms and legs apart, and left her there to be for a while under the hot, scorching Sun.

After sometime, a group of guards surrounded her and they took turns to give heavy whips all over her body—her back, neck, legs, arms— no part was left untouched. They made sure of that.

Then later came Alpha Tyler and his sister, Mistress Ava, into the scene. As soon as they saw him, they all stopped, giving way for him to go close to her.

He grabbed one of the guard’s whip.

“What was that crazy stunt you pulled back in there... Huh,Schiava ?”He moved close to her, curved down a bit and used his strong right hand to touch my face; he waved his hand down slightly, then raised up her face to meet his eyes, those eyes that could kill someone with just staring at them.

There was dead silence.

He brought her right ear to his lips.

“I say, What was that trick you pulled back at the porch?” he said to her, more like in a whisper.

Still, dead silence. Emma didn’t utter a word.

He straightened back up.

“Oh. I get it now… you want to play me a silent song?” He smiled weirdly, “ Well, let me teach you a lesson so that nextime, you will never think of disgracing me!”

He raised the whip up about to strike but was restricted by his Sister, Mistress Ava, who held it from landing any further on her skin.

“Stop it! Do you want to kill her?”She bellowed. She’d fear written all over her face.

“Allow me to punish her, Sister!” He shouted.

“No, I won't allow you to do such a thing. Do you want to go down that lane again? A lane you swore you will never be?” She looked at him, “Please, don't do this…”

On hearing those words he calmed down a little and handed the whip over to her.

Emma’s POV.

I have never seen him portray that type of anger before. Usually, he will discharge me off, or send me to do one hefty job. But today, he was furious.

When he came to the place where I was being punished, he dragged my face to look at him. As I looked deep into those evil lenses of his, I began to wonder why people said that Alpha Ethan was the most dreadful and most fearful one amongst all Alphas, when the person standing right in front of me was the devil, himself. If there were to classify him as an animal, he would be picked as a cold blooded animal.

I watched him raise the rope in mid-air and I felt as if my world was going to end that instant. Thanks graciously to his sister who came to my rescue. She left with him while the guards dragged me back to the maids quarters.

And what did his sister mean by “...go down that lane?
