CHAPTER 6

We moved to the bathroom so as not to spill blood in his room, Alpha Tristan stood straight with his face facing the mirror and bathroom sink on the wall and his back to me, I carried the alcohol bottle and took a deep breath before pouring it on the wound.

Alpha Tristan was so strong that I couldn't help but feel impressed, he didn't make a sound but I knew that would have stung so bad from the way his knuckles turn white from holding the sink so tightly and the veins bulging from his arms, head and neck.

My wolf was restless and whined repeatedly from seeing our mate in so much pain. I grabbed a towel from the table and cleaned around the wound gently before calming myself and picking up the needle, I was absolutely terrified but I had no choice but to follow orders and avoid the Alpha's wrath.

“Do it now” Tristan spurred me on, his voice guttural and rough.

“Yes, alpha” I answered with an obedient tone even though my body was the opposite of obedient.

I took another deep breath before going in with the needle, as soon as it pricked Tristan's skin, he inhaled and hissed sharply from the pain. I knew I would get scolded if I stopped so I gritted my teeth and pushed the needle deeper, I have sown clothes with needles and thread before but I never imagined that it could be used to stitch up living things but here I was, doing it.

My stomach churned repeatedly, trying to spill out its content from disgust but nothing came out except an hungry grumble reminding me that I still haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

Tristan suddenly chuckled which was ironic from the painful scary situation that we were in. I could only manage a small smile because I was very concentrated on the sewing I was doing and I didn't want to make a mistake. It made me wonder if Tera, the former personal maid, did something like this.

“Have you eaten anything since morning?” Tristan asked in a calm tone that sounded rough because of the pain he was feeling.

“No, Alpha” I replied politely without meeting his eyes.

He hissed sharply again, this time more intensely than the first, I noticed I was in the middle of the gash, it was probably why it hurt more. “I'm sorry, alpha… sorry” I stammered feeling guilty that I wasn't more careful and focused.

“It's fine, continue” Alpha Tristan grinded out and I did as I was told.

We maintained a quiet atmosphere with only Tristan's labored breathing and the sound of needle passing through flesh could be heard. After a few minutes, I was finally done and I used the towel to clean the area.

Alpha Tristan grunted a thank you, almost inaudible but I still heard it, before he turned his back to check himself out from his reflection on the mirror.

“Go and get food for yourself from the kitchen, tell them it's an order from the alpha” he said, seemingly satisfied with my work.

I kowtowed gratefully and said, “Thank you, thank you alpha” my voice was almost tearful at his input, I once again noticed the real side of the alpha that was kind and caring, instead of the cruel ruthless man he kept pretending to be. I washed my hands and rushed out of the room as if I was being pursued, I was really starving and it took a lot for me to run to the kitchen area. As I arrived, I was about to go in when a fat woman with chubby cheeks and a nasty glare stopped me.

“Hey, stop right there. Do you think this is your personal room that you can go in and out anytime you like” She said, blocking the door path with only one step, that was to tell how fat she was.

I immediately bowed and curtsied with respect before saying “I came to take my food”

Everyone present stopped what they were doing and stared at me with a mocking gaze that I began to think back to if I said something wrong. The woman suddenly burst out laughing and everyone laughed along with her, I felt embarrassed hearing their mocking laughter. If not that I was very hungry, I would have walked away in shame.

The laughter died down and the woman looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, eyeing me up and down in calm anger and irritation like I did something wrong to her before.

“What's your name? You must be the new omega maid right? What unit are you working at?” The woman began bombarding me with questions.

“My name is Kira and yes, I am the new omega maid. I am working as the Alpha's personal maid” I answered all her questions one by one with my head still bowed.

“The alpha personal maid? How lucky” A girl washing the dishes inside the room sneered.

I could see the jealousy in their eyes when they looked at me especially after I revealed that piece of information, if only they knew what I just went through in Alpha Tristan's room, maybe they wouldn't be this jealous.

“Please ma, the food, I'm very hungry” I pleaded with the woman when I saw that she was avoiding the main problem that brought us here.

“What food? I don't remember you leaving any food with me or did you?” The woman feigned ignorance and the others played along too.

I was beginning to flare up with anger at their attitude, they knew why I was here but chose to mock me and have their fun. I guess Alpha Tristan must have seen this ahead that's why he told me to add his name to my request. Even within omega slaves, there was no love or unity, the stronger ones would bully the weaker ones at any chance they got instead of being tightly bonded like brothers and sisters.

I decided to pull out my alpha card then, “The Alpha told me to come here and get my food” I said with a plain voice.

The woman was quiet for only a few seconds before she burst out laughing, the others laughed along with her. Then when it died down, she frowned and looked at me with disgust, “Audacious! Using the alpha’s name to lie just to get such a little thing as food can get you beheaded. You better watch your mouth” she warned, not believing me at all, in fact no one believed me.

I was about to defend myself when I heard a voice from behind me, “What is going on here?”
