The Alpha’s Slave

S POV

After a hectic day at the Alpha’s kings’ meeting, I finally returned to the castle. On arrival, I went to check up on Brianna but noticed she wasn’t in the guestroom I relocated her to so she could avoid using the stairs for now. She was in a very delicate state. I can’t afford anything bad happening to her. So I’m taking all the necessary precautions to prevent that.

I checked the other guest rooms but she wasn’t in any of them either. My brows creased with worry. I just hope she hasn’t gone upstairs in her state. I know how stubborn and hot-headed she could be at times, and I didn’t like it one bit.

As I stepped out of the guest room, about to make my way upstairs to search for her, I saw one of the maids coming into the castle from the courtyard in the back. She was carrying a tray laden with two empty glasses and some snacks. I beckoned on her.

“Who’s at the courtyard?” I asked her as she approached and gave a slight bow.

“It’s Miss Brianna and her visitor,” she answered.

Knowing Brianna was there and safe made me breathe out in relief. But knowing she had a visitor made a wave of intense astonishment and curiosity hit me.

My brows lowered and I blinked severally, wondering who it could be. As far as I know, she hasn’t had anyone come to visit her since she arrived at the castle.

“And who is the visitor?” I asked as I looked over her shoulders, towards the courtyard, hoping to catch a glimpse of the person but I couldn’t.

“I don’t know, my King. I wasn’t the one that welcomed her.”

“No problem,” I said and dismissed her with a nod. “I will go see myself.”

She gave a firm nod and started making her way to the kitchen.

The maid referred to the visitor as ‘she’. That meant she was a woman. I just hope it wasn’t someone from Brianna’s past who has come to remind her of the traumas and horrors she went through. If she was, I wouldn’t allow that and I will have to punish my guards and the maid that let her in.

My steps quickened as I approached the courtyard, my fist clenched in fury.

As I was about to reach, I saw a lady in her forties with curly shoulder-length hair and in a knee-length floral dress stepping out.

I stopped in my tracks. She must be the visitor and she looked…harmless which means I didn’t have to worry about her doing anything to Brianna.

The moment she raised her head after searching for something in her handbag, she caught sight of me and froze, red lipstick lips parting slightly.

She gave me a questionable look, mascara-coated eyes scanning me from head to toe. Then suddenly, she crossed her arms over her chest defensively and pinned me with a defiant glare.

“You must be Alpha Sebastian?”

“Yes….” I answered, confused as to why she was looking at me like that.

Did Brianna tell her something bad about me? No, she won’t. That’s unlike her. She’ll never do something like that. She made it clear to me that she would never do anything to hurt me or anything I didn’t approve of. Then why was this lady looking at me like I was a fucking pervert?

She started approaching me like a prowling predator ready to attack, sharp eyes critically judging me. She settled a few inches in front of me. “The infamous heartthrob who isn’t like his fellow Alpha kings,” she whiffed out a scornful laugh, a heavy dose of sarcasm in her voice.

Her saying that meant Brianna had already told her a lot about me. Good things. Not bad things. That cleared my initial worry. But why the sarcastic tone? What have I done to deserve it?

This is my castle and kingdom. I won’t have anyone walk into it and disrespect or mock me. In the snap of a finger, I could have my guards do to her what they did to that bastard I caught Catherine cheating on me with in our matrimonial bed. I don’t take a shit. But first, I must know who this person was before carrying on with that.

“And who might you be?” I kept a straight face as I asked, matching the look she was giving me.

“I’m Brianna’s aunt. Georgina Martins but she prefers to call me Aunt Gigi,” she revealed, sending my eyes widening in surprise. “I believe she already told you about me?”

I was taken aback a bit, blinking rapidly as I tried to remember who she was. Brianna had mentioned her before. She was her only aunt from her mother’s side who took her in when she was about to be taken to the orphanage after her father’s death. She also mentioned how she worked as a salesgirl in her jewellery shop before Hermes picked interest in her and took her away.

It was her aunt’s fault Hermes took her. It was her fault she had to go through all the horror and trauma of being one of Hermes’s sex slaves. She was under her care. She was her guardian. How could she have let that happen?NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Being aware of that made anger spread through me like wildfire. But I tried to hold it back and remain composed. There was no reason to become angry or put the blame on her because it wasn’t her fault.

Hermes was the Alpha king of her kingdom. And it was something big for an Alpha king to pick interest in any young female omega. That was the tactic he was using to lure them into being the sex slaves he would sell off at the auction. She and the rest of her kingdom probably didn’t know him for who he really was. I believe Brianna has already told her everything and opened her eyes to that matter.

I bet she must have gone to great lengths to find Brianna here in my castle, in another kingdom. Nevertheless, I hope she just came to visit and not take Brianna away or try to talk her out of staying here with me because I won’t allow it. If that was the case then she’d better be on her way ASAP!

“Yes,” I nodded in affirmation. “Brianna did tell me about you. Thank you for taking her in and caring for her like she was your own. Thank you for everything you have done for her. I’m forever grateful. But I will be taking it from here. I see you’re leaving. Maybe my chauffeur can take you back safely to your kingdom?”

“Save your chauffeur for yourself!” she snapped at me, her gaze darkening with a thousand thunderclouds of anger. “I don’t need your ride. If I find out that you did that to her…. that you’re holding her captive and hurting her, I don’t give a damn if you’re the Alpha king of the entire planet. I will come at you with a thousand storms of fire and I will burn you and everything you own down to the fucking ground. I don’t know how I will do it, but mark my words, I will do it,” she spelt out in my face, her gaze on mine unflinching before her lips curled into a diabolic smirk.
