THE LYCAN KING AND THE SLAVE

MIA’s POVIt's my twentieth birthday and I still hate my life.My life sucks, and every day seems to be a constant reminder of that reality, but today makes me feel worse about my life. I picked up the stainless bucket I was using to mop the floor and squeeze the dirty rag, at least I was done with some of the chores given to me today. I had told Mrs. Caroline, the old cranky head of staff, weeks before today, I wanted to take today off and just sob and drink away my sorrow in an isolated bar, but I still put myself on duty today. "We have a big party coming up and you won't be given that liberty to leave," she'd replied to my request yesterday, in a harsh tone."But I told you for weeks now," I pleaded as tears streamed down my eyes, I just wanted to be anywhere else but here today. "Quit whining Mia, it is a party for the Alpha, the world doesn't revolve around you,"Ironically, she would say that, because my world had always revolved around others, it was almost like I was just

MIA’S POV“Ouch!” I exclaimed. I opened my eyes, I was overwhelmed by a banging headache and a great sense of nausea washed over me. I sat upright on the bed and immediately regretted my decision to do so as I realized how sore the back of my head was and the fact that I was wearing nothing but my underwear and my mask caused me to cringe in embarrassment, the memories of that swarm through my head adding to that feeling and in that moment I wanted nothing more than the floor opening to swallow me. I shook my head slowly to avoid pondering on it too hard as it made the throbbing in my head only get worse and worse. I slowly make my way to the bathroom taking small unsure steps as the alcohol I had consumed still had its effect on my mind and body. I am thankful to find some soap and a towel hanging off the rack and take a quick shower, scrubbing my body to rid the sex, sweat, alcohol, and shame that held onto me like a second skin. After my shower, I pulled my dress back onto my fra

MIA's POV"Mia, you should go clean up the Alpha's room," I heard Mrs. Caroline instruct me, going into the Alpha's room is the last thing I want for myself."Are you dumb, stupid girl," she called out when I gave no response."I will do so," I responded, it is not like I have any other choice. "So you heard me the first time and chose not to respond to me, this is why you keep getting in trouble because you are weak and stupid at the same time," she muttered, chuckling at her own joke, I was in no mood whatsoever to condone her insolence. I arched my back a little, trying to stretch it before I bent down to pick up the mop and bucket. This would be the tenth room I would be cleaning and it was barely noon. My back was sore from all the bending but also from the whips I received last night. "I will get on it now," I responded, striding towards the exit of the room. I didn't want to entertain more of her insults. I passed the courtyard to make sure the Alpha was there, he normall

MIA's POVI had thrown up more than four times in the past few weeks. When I threw up the first time, it was after being forced to watch that disgusting act from Alpha Leo and Diana "This is the fifth time you are throwing up this week, what is wrong with you?" Linda, the maid tasked to join me in cleaning the inner chambers asked."I had a lot of tuna salad last night, and I think I am slightly lactose intolerant lately," I replied, even though it didn't appear like she cared one bit. "I think you should go get yourself checked up, don't want you infecting the rest of us with whatever disease you have in you," she spat out, picking the bucket and giving me some distance. I pondered, maybe she was right, I have been quite ill lately, maybe I should go check myself. I was on my way out when a group of women walked into the inner chambers. I recognized Diana and Mrs. Caroline to be among them, I have been avoiding Diana since that day with Alpha Leo. She smirked at me. "Look who is

MIA's POV"Pick up that garbage from the floor," she yelled at me. I sighed, I was already physically and mentally drained.I picked up the breadcrumbs, tempted to sneak some into my mouth. That would be the most I have eaten in days, I was hungry and my eyes were almost going black. Just a little more and I would be passing out.The only reason I am staying strong is because of my baby, I placed my hands on my bump and caressed it a little. I can't wait to give birth so I can run away, I have been saving; well, stealing for that purpose. They cut my salary, I had no other option. "What are you doing standing around? We are burning daylight, get those wine bottles to the Alpha right now, " Mrs. Caroline instructed and I nodded my head. I was already feeling dizzy as I strode to the banquet hall with the bottle of expensive wine in my hands. The hall was filled with people from within the pack and outside the pack. I glanced around to see if I could catch a glimpse of that strange
