Slaved To The Alpha

Like yes, ever since one of you was born, everything has been given to all of you, all your needs were fulfilled by those who need to work just to get by in life. But I don’t think that they’ll be able to understand what I feel because they have never experienced it, nor will they ever experience it.

“Where is Asthrid? She is going to be late for her appointments which I think is due in an hour or two. Anyway, she better be up in the next couple of minutes, or the blame will be placed on you since you’re the one in charge of her needs and responsibilities. She said in an arrogant tone of voice like she couldn’t get cocky enough. She had to rub in my face that I was only a lowly maid that was meant to serve others and nothing else.

But I am more than that. I just smiled at her and closed the door right in her face, a good thing she just walked away even though I just slammed the door. My heart skipped a beat when I did that, and I thought I was a goner. “See ya, don’t come back,” I whispered to myself while she walked away, this woman was like a Asthrid version too, but way worse because of the fake accent of hers, I never liked Asthrid’s voice and how she talked, but she just took it to a whole new level.

She did have a point, I could get blamed if Asthrid misses her appointments, but then I just remembered. I had Asthrid’s schedule for the day, and I knew what time exactly each of her appointments was scheduled.

I ran as fast as I could to her room to find her schedule which was just laying on top of a dresser. It was a good thing she told me last night, or I might actually be in a panic right now. When I opened it, I was surprised since there was only one thing written on it.

“The Annual pack gathering Dance?” I uttered to myself in an almost silent voice as not to wake up the monster sleeping beside me.

I thought she was busy for the whole day since the woman earlier told me that it would be my fault if she were to be late to any of her appointments. There would be nothing I could do about it. This was either a joke, or she must have forgotten to write down what she was going to do, but it seemed impossible because this had never happened before for as long as I can remember.

I don’t know what I was going to do, and she didn’t tell me that she had any plans today, so maybe she really doesn’t, but what if she does? Then everything will fall apart because of some stupid empty schedule. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, and I was panicking. If I don’t do anything and she just wakes up, and she is somewhere to be, then it would be my fault because she’ll say I didn’t remind her. Ugh! This morning was supposed to be relaxing, not stressful. That part was supposed to come in later when she actually gets to the Annual Pack Gathering.

“You won’t find anything in there.” Asthrid suddenly said in an amused tone of voice, her talking so suddenly when I thought that she was still sleeping made me scream.

I never thought that she was already awake. Was she watching me while I was trying to read her schedule? Am I dead? I think I’m already, but wait! She did tell me earlier about it, so maybe I was permitted to look at it since I was in charge of her appointments! Yes! Don’t overthink it yet. Just look at her and smile.

“Krisna? What are you doing in my room? Did I tell you to go in here?” Her tone suddenly changed, she looked furious, but when she was like this back in the house, she would usually insult me, call me names, and she would throw the nearest throwable object to hit at me. It was bizarre, it’s as if something good happened to her while she was asleep, or maybe she just didn’t want to get angry right now since it was an important day for her.

“Umm…. I’m sorry, Ms. Asthrid. I was just looking at your schedule for today since I thought you had many appointments today. I thought that you were going to be late for them, so I started panicking a little. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do.” I said to her as I tried to avoid eye contact with her since her eyes and stare were a bit terrifying, to say the least.

She started to get out of her bed and was folding her blankets and fixing the bed. “I never told you that I had plans today, so that means that I don’t have plans today except for the Annual Pack Gathering. So stop being stupid and assuming things. If I don’t tell you something, don’t do it, okay? Stupid maid.” She said without hesitation. While I’ve been used to her calling me names all the time, being called stupid still hurts, but with enough exposure to it, I just don’t take it too hard.

Asthrid was looking like she was ready for anything, even if she had just woken up. There was just a moment of silence between the two of us, and I could feel the tension between us getting tighter. I don’t know if I should just leave the room or not. I was just standing there near her dresser, looking like an absolute fool. “Umm… Ms. Asthrid? Do you want some breakf….”

She just shushed me before I could even finish what I was saying. “Krisna, stop acting like a mime and actually do what you were meant to do. Stop wasting time, so I can actually get ready for tonight’s event, hmm?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
