I had now been with Alpha Drake for almost 4 months. In the kitchen I would only look up to gather things from higher shelves. I had answered to the Alpha when something went wrong. I guess he thought it was my fault.
In the first few months everything was okay. He wasn't beating me senceless. But, that all changed. A few months ago I fell in the kitchen. I had slid on some water what was on the floor. I spilled the sause Ms. Vanessa and I were making for dinner and Alpha Drake beat me that night after dinner.
He told me that I can't do anything right and my own father wanted to get rid of my useless ass. He said he sold me because he didn't want the burden.
Drake's sober beating was worse than my dad's. Drake was alot taller and anot stronger. He even let his mate beat me. She said I was too pretty for my own good. But, she also said that I was too fat. And I needed to lose weight. So for the past few weeks, I have only eaten once. Which isn't new for me.
I haven't be aloud in the dining room, unless someone wanted something else.
Once dinner was done ans everything was cleaned up, Drake called for me. I slid the last dish into the dish washer and answered his call.
"LIRA!" Alpha Drake yelled.
"Yes sir Alpha?" I asked him.
"In two days, we are hosting a party. If you don't fuck up, you can come to this party. We need a server for Friday night. And you seem fit for the job. But we can't have you looking like this." He said pointing at the bruises on my arms, legs, and face.
"If I may Alpha?" I asked calmly.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Sir, if I had makeup, no one would notice the bruises." I said. I hoped that he would take to the idea.
"Okay. Ms. Vanessa!" He yelled. His voice thundered in the room. She came calmly.
"Yes sir, what do you need?" She asked.
"Go into town, get her some makeup. Whatever she needs." He said as we walked away.
"Yes sir." She said. "Come into the kitchen." She pulled me.
"Okay, you can look now."
"Ms. Vanessa. Why do you let me look at you?" I asked keeping my eyes down.
"Because, you deserve at least to know what I look like. You work with me." She said picking ny face up to look at her.
Ms. Vanessa is beautiful. She has dark blue eyes and a strong face. He hairs is luscious and red.
"Ms. Vanessa, may I write down what I need?" I asked, returning my eyes to the floor.
She handed me a piece of paper and a pen. I made her a list and she left to retrieve it.
"LIRA!" Alpha yelled.
"Yes Alpha?" I asked.
"Do you still have that dress you wore when I bought you?"
"Yes Alpha." I answered.
"Bring it to me." He said.
I retrived my dress and he took a picture of it.
"Thank you. You may return it to your room. And sweep the hallways. Then you can go clean the back yard. Make sure everyday that it is kept." He said in his alpha tone.
"Yes sir." I said walking away.
My room now consisted of a floor and a pillow. I had one blanket, but it was too small for me. It barely went from my shoulder to me knees. So most nights I would be cold, or I wouldn't sleep.
"Alpha Drake, sir." I said softly.
"What?!" He yelled.
"Your Beta has called for you. He wishes to meet you in the garden sir." I answered.
"Very well. You sure know how to collect someone." He said. He patted my shoulder as he walked past. This caused me to flinch. I thought I would get hit for disturbing him.
I went to the back yard, the yard was littered with trash and leaves. A LOT of trash. I spent a few hours cleaning it up and the back yard looked pretty good.
There were fairy light linning the fence and the back of the house. So I pmugged them in to see if they work. Some of the light were busted. But most of them work.
Alpha Drake wants everything to work and be perfect. So I must report the lights to him. He wont like it much. I waited until he returned from the garden and I made sure the back yard looked good before I left.
"Alpha Drake sir." I said.
"What is it now?!?" He said. Anger was evident in his voice.
"Some of the fairy lights out back are not working, I wanted to let you know. What would you like me to do?" I asked softly.
"Nothing. Is Ms. Vanessa still out?" He asked.
"Yes sir Alpha Drake."
"Then I'll handle it. Get out of my sight." He spat.
"Yes sir." I said before I tried to sleep for the night.
