The Alpha’s Slave

Madison’s POV

I walked into the room shaking in fear. I know that my life is left in the hands of a little girl. If I fail to make the little girl walk again, I’m afraid I’ll lose my life.

With the glass of milk in my hand, I turned on the light in the room. Lady Delia was lying at the edge of the bed sleeping while Zara was still awake staring at the ceiling. Such a scary little girl!

“Zara, why aren’t you sleeping yet baby?” I asked handing her a glass of milkshake. She kept staring at the cup for sometime before turning her face away like I wasn’t giving her anything.

I took a deep breath, and dropped the glass of milk on the table beside the bed. To be honest, I don’t even know where to start with this whole task. How do I get a child whose dumb to talk again?

“You can do this Madison! She spoke for the first time after five years just because of you, and she’s the reason why you are still alive right now. She saved you from being beheaded by The Master, and the least you can do for the little girl is to help her get better” I said those words to myself silently before smiling broadly at me.

“Zara? Don’t you want to drink milk? Listen child, taking of milk will help you as a child. You need to take milk always to be healthy and strong” I said those words with a shaky voice because I have a feeling she wasn’t going to listen to me.

She kept staring at me like a statue, and that got me confused the more. How do I cope with her? She kept staring at me like she wasn’t understanding what I was saying.

“Do you understand me Zara? All I’m saying is that you should always take milk. I don’t know you understand what I’m saying because I’m not getting any single response from you, but I just want you to know that I’m going to become your new nanny from on. I beg you baby girl, don’t make things difficult for aunty, okay?” I lowered my gaze with a pleading voice, and she gulped like she wanted to say something, but didn’t succeed in saying anything.

“You don’t have to force yourself to say anything my darling. I just want you to know that the reason why I’m here, and the reason why I am your new nanny is that I have to help you get better. You don’t have to stress yourself to say anything” I patted her shoulder, and she pouted her mouth.

“Do you like me Zara?” I turned to her after few minutes of silence, and she stared at me for few minutes too without saying or making any signs. I stared at her with a sad face, and she exhaled deeply.

“Mmm” She hummed, and nodded her head.

“Then please drink your milk” I sadly responded, and she took the milk glass from me after some reluctance. She drank the milk slowly, and smiles filled my face.

Even if I know the little girl likes me, I still have to make sure I don’t get on her bad side if I don’t have a death wish.

“Baby, would you like me to tell you a bedtime story?” I asked after she finished the milk, and I took the glass from her.

She raised her eyebrows staring at me like I said something she has never heard before. Does she even know what bedtime story means? Has anyone ever told her that?

“Uhm… Do you know what a bedtime story mean? Okay, how about we go meet your daddy so that you can kiss him goodnight?” I smiled at her, and her lips curved into an approving smile.

She looked so happy the moment I mentioned her going to kiss her Dad goodbye. I pity the little girl, there are things she still needs to get used to. Now, I have to make sure she gets better as soon as possible.

“Let’s go baby Zara” I turned to leave, and then I remembered immediately that she can’t walk on her own. I reluctantly turned my gaze at her, and realized she was in tears.

“Come on baby, why are you crying? You shouldn’t cry because you look too beautiful to cry. Don’t worry, I’ll carry you. I won’t let you sit on that wheelchair again. You’re not crippled, so you won’t ever sit on that wheelchair as long as I’m still here with you” I wiped her tears off, and kissed her forehead, and she forced a smile at me.

Even though she was heavy, I still carried her up, and out of the room. We need to kiss her Dad goodnight first.

Lucien’s POV

The music was playing softly, and four slaves were dancing in front of me while I stared at them emotionlessly.

Of course, I wasn’t even interested in the dancing, and striping they were doing in front of me.

They continued dancing while I sat on the armchair smoking the tobacco. Smokes emanated from my nostrils and my mouth, and I kept puffing the smokes out of my mouth. It was already late night, but who cares? I don’t even sleep at night due to the insomnia, who cares if they are feeling sleepy.

Suddenly, there came a knock on my door. I turned my gaze to Axel who was standing at the other corner of the room with furrowed eyebrows. No one dares come to my chambers with invitation. That is a crime that could lead to death.

Axel sheathed the sword, and walk boldly to the door. He twisted the doorknob, and throw the door open immediately.

“Madison?” He called out, and Madison walked into the room.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“How dare you walk into…” I was going to shout at her when I saw the most important face to me.

She was carrying my little Zara who smiled at me for the first time…..
