Are they jesting with me? Which hands should I utilise for consuming food?
“Our Master instructed us to spoon-feed you, so you need not concern yourself with how to consume the food,” one of them stated.
It seems inconceivable that you are serious. To whom are you providing excessive assistance? Do I appear to be a juvenile or incapacitated individual? I was infuriated by their remarks, yet I refrained from retaliating. I acknowledge that it is not their fault whatsoever. They are merely according to directives.
“I appreciate your offer, but I am not hungry,” I declined gently, despite my seething wrath.
“No, Ma’am. You must eat. Master stated he will have our heads on stakes upon his return, and you have yet to be nourished,” the youngest among them muttered. There were four individuals.
“What? The Alpha-King has departed?!” I enquired in astonishment. I presumed he remained in a meeting with Don, as he has not returned to this room since departing to sign documents with him.
“Do you know where he has gone?” I enquired of them.
“No, Ma’am. We do not. However, he departed hastily,”
My body began to tremble with fear and anxiety. Did he depart hastily? To what location? To eliminate Jimmy? Oh no, esteemed Goddess, please safeguard Jimmy’s life.
I perceived footsteps entering the room and I glanced above. I am astonished to find Bria before me.
“Bria, my dear friend,” I exclaimed joyfully as she settled on the bed and embraced me warmly.
“Jessica, it is a pleasure to see you,” she reflected as we embraced joyfully. I instructed the Omegas to depart, prompting them to leave the trays on the tiny table in the room as they exited.
I was reluctant to release Bria, hence I persisted in embracing her. I am quite pleased to see her; I have long desired to converse with someone, and the Moon Goddess has graciously sent my dearest friend to me.
We ultimately released one another, and she scrutinises me from head to toe. I perceive the sympathy in her gaze about my wretched state.
“Did Don inform you of my presence?” I enquired, interrupting her gaze. I disapprove of her gaze directed towards me. I am aware that I appear despondent, but she need not make it so apparent; else, I shall begin to weep.
“Indeed, my dear. It was my companion, Don, who informed me of your presence here. The Alpha-King is exceedingly malevolent and monstrous; I cannot fathom that he has restrained you in this manner.”
She attempted to untie me, but I prevented her from doing so. If the Alpha-King learns that she is responsible for my release, he will terminate her, particularly due to her relation to Jimmy. I prefer not to involve her in my complications.
“What transpired? How did he apprehend you?” she enquired after I refused to permit her to release me.
“That malevolent individual colluded with my father to entice me back home. My father claimed he was ill and urged my return to assume the role of the next Beta. I was unaware that it was merely a ruse orchestrated between him and the Alpha King. Upon my return, the Alpha King arrived at our residence and apprehended me.”
“What transpired with my brother? What actions were taken against him?”
“He abducted him; I am unaware of his location,” I stated, breaking down in tears as I spoke.
“Oh no. What if he has murdered my beloved brother?” Bria began to weep as well.
“Do not be concerned, Bria. The Alpha-King assured me that he would spare Jimmy’s life provided I accompany him. This is the reason I returned here with him.”
“Do not trust anything the Alpha-King asserts. He is a deceitful fiend and a fraud. He may have made those statements merely to deceive you into accompanying him. Subsequently, he will return to murder my brother.”
“You make a valid point. Kindly instruct Don to assist me in locating Jimmy. He needs to ascertain whether Jimmy is still alive and where he is imprisoned.” I stated.
“Indeed, we must locate him-”
“Who are you searching for?” a deep voice interrupted us, causing both of us to tense up. We directed our gaze towards the entryway, where the Alpha-King stood, observing us intently.
Alpha-King’s Consort
I hastened to the palace and ascended the stairs to verify if Jessica remained in my apartment. I encountered the palace Omegas exiting my chamber, and they promptly knelt upon perceiving my presence.
I enquired, “Is Jessica in the room?” They affirmed with a nod. I had joy, but their subsequent remark extinguished it.
“She is indoors with her companion.”
“Her friend?” I reiterated, to confirm that I had understood them accurately. They acquiesced. “Which acquaintance is that?”
“Beta Donald’s Mate,” they responded in unison.
