Alpha’s Black Furred Slave Mate
Chapter 49

I lay sleeping with Mateo close to me, in the shack. After everything that had happened, everything that I learned, I wasn't ready to face Marlon again. It was too much for me to handle; he told me he loved me. I know how my wolf feels about him, but I couldn't bring myself to give into him. What kind of outcome would it end up being? It would result in our deaths, and it wasn't worth the childish temptations. Plus, I had Petra on my tail, and I couldn't risk her finding anything more out. Right now, she only thinks everything is just a rumor; she has no proof otherwise and the proof she does have will only get her in trouble.

She showed so much interest in Marlon; I had no idea she felt that way. Though I wasn't surprised. Marlon was as handsome as can be everyone in the kingdom fangirled over him and I could see how some of the maids looked at him as well. Petra was a beautiful woman with her long silky blonde hair and her large breasts that nearly popped out of her maid uniform. She had those long legs that stridden delicately as she walked and a gaze that sent a chill down my spine.

Once in a while when she walked by, I would see Marlon checking her out, but nothing ever came from it. He wouldn't touch her; I never understood why. He had no issues touching me and I was nothing more than a dirtball slave.

Although I supposed to him, I was a bit more than that. He recently told me that he cared for both Mateo and me deeply; he even told me that he had fallen in love with me. I don't know why he would say such things; none of it was making sense. I would have thought he was just saying these things to get into my head, but my wolf knew he wasn't lying.

I told him I needed time to think about things and that I would continue staying in the shack. He didn't argue with me as I anticipated. He allowed me to head back to the shack and rest for the night with Mateo.

Alex came by the next morning to care for Mateo; I was hesitant about giving him my son, but I didn't really have a choice. He didn't say anything to me; he just took Mateo and watched me leave the shack, with a growl on his face.

I sighed; I don't think we were ever going to get along and trust one another.

I went straight to the rose garden to presume my daily duties. I didn't have class for another couple of days; it was a nice little break we were having. I was hoping Marlon was still going to let me attend my classes even though the duke and the king were both suspicious of me. If I kept my disguise, nobody would know it was me.

As usual, Beatrice kept a steady eye on me; she hasn't really said much to me today, which I found to be odd. Typically, by now she would be yelling in my face and ridiculing me in front of everybody. But it seemed as though she had a lot weighing on her mind. Part of me wanted to ask her if she was alright but there was another part of me that knew better than to speak when not spoken to. She was a fierce woman, and she gave me chills down my spine; there was no way I was going to double-cross her anytime soon. I kept working and minding my business; my wolf felt a sudden tug and I gazed up to the manor behind me. I eyed the window I knew to be part of Marlon's study; it was tinted so I couldn't see inside of it, but I knew he was watching. Somehow, my wolf always knew he was watching.

I saw Beatrice tensing as she noticed my gaze was at the manor; I knew she wanted to say something but there was something else that was holding her back. She almost seemed red in the face; I wasn't going to test the waters any further and turned away from her manor to resume my duties.

She gave me the sudden cue that it was lunchtime; I saw some of the other maids' headings towards the dining courters. Sweat poured from my features and soaked into the fabrics of my gown as I straightened my stance and followed her into the dining courters. She went off to eat somewhere else, as she always does, while the other maids gathered around the dining table and munched on the plates they gathered. They were talking and chuckling amongst themselves; even Petra was chuckling about something. I didn't join in on the conversations though; I stayed off in the corner. I was about to grab my own empty plate for when they finished and I could eat, but Petra noticed me and called my name. "Deonna? Over here!" She said, waving me over to the table.

She was motioning for the empty spot beside her. There was a premade plate of delicious-looking food and some milk beside her. I frowned because it was unusual that she would prepare me food after threatening me only a day ago. I could tell her niceness was fake and it was unsettling to see her fake smile, but I also didn't want to make a scene in front of the other maids.

They already hated me.

The other maids looked at one another, confused as to why Petra was all of a sudden being nice to me and wanting me to sit with them. But they didn't question her.

I walked, hesitantly, towards the table and took my seat next to her, awkwardly.

"I was just telling the girls of our heart to heart yesterday and said that we've pegged you wrong the entire time," she chuckled as she ate.

The other maids gave nervous and awkward laughs, which lead me to believe she was lying.

"You are quite a remarkable woman, Deonna," she said; her voice running silky and giving me chills throughout my body.

I opened my mouth to say something, but I wasn't sure what to say, so I closed it. It only made her laugh again; I could feel my cheeks reddening.

"It's no wonder Marlon has his eyes on you," she winked as she took another bite of her food.

My frown deepened as I stared around the gawking faces; this wasn't happening to me. I felt foolish; I shouldn't have come here and sat with them.

"I made you a plate," she said, pointing at the assortment of food in front of me. "Did in," she said as she took another bite.

I stared down at the food.

She wouldn't try something with all these witnesses, would she? I all of a sudden didn't feel so hungry.

"Honestly, Deonna. If you are going to reside in this manor, you got to learn to trust us. We are basically sisters after all," she said; her smile didn't reach her eyes.

The awkward silence amongst everyone was too thick to ignore. They eventually turned away and began eating their own food. Some whispering amongst each other; Petra kept her eyes on me. It was an icy gaze that made me uncomfortable.

I picked a strawberry off my plate and began munching at it; it was nice having it fresh and not leftover from after the others eat. Petra smiled, satisfied, and turned back to her own food. The more I nibbled on the strawberry, the hungrier I got. I began eating the rest of the fruit and then made my way to the fresh vegetables. Once I finished the food, I gulped down the milk. I ate until my stomach was satisfied.

They stared at me like I had 3 heads; as if they have never seen anyone eating before.

I chuckled nervously and then hiccupped.

I couldn't help but feel a bit warm in the face; my breath was becoming heavy as well. I touched my fingers to my face, trying to see if I was getting a fever. It felt as though a fever was breaking out, but I wasn't sweating as I usually would. I took in a deep breath, trying to gain my composure back, but it only made me feel lightheaded.

I chuckled again as the heat around my body began intensifying. The feeling was familiar; I could feel every fiber of my being pulsating and my skin radiating its heat. The hazy purple of my wolf began to make way through my skin, illuminating its beautiful aura. The only time my wolf's aura makes itself known is when Marlon was nearby, but my wolf herself was quiet so I knew he wasn't there.

I could feel my vagina throbbing as the s****l tension in the air rose freely.

What was happening to me?

I could see the distorted looks of the other maids; they were staring at me with almost disgust. I could only imagine how I looked at them at this moment. But all their faces were becoming blurry and unrecognizable in my vision.

I felt the cold touch of Petra from beside me as she wrapped an arm around mine to hold me steady. I must have been wobbly.

"You aren't looking so good, Deonna," she said; the fake concern was obvious in her voice. "Let's get you back to your shack so you can rest."

I didn't argue with her; I wasn't sure I would be able to even if I tried. I allowed her to pull me to my feet; I almost fell over but thankfully she was strong enough to deflect me and help me keep my stance. She muttered something to the others that I couldn't quite understand and then I could feel the breeze of the warm outdoor air.

I wasn't sure how long we walked but she pushed open the doors to the shack and brought me over to my bed. Alex was already gone with Mateo; they were most likely in the manor. I was too lightheaded to care at that moment though; something was wrong. Something was seriously wrong.

I lay on the bed, facing up, I saw the faint outline of Petra's face. I couldn't see her features though; she was unreadable, and it was making me even more uncomfortable.

My vision began going dark and I could feel myself losing consciousness.

I had to fight to stay awake.

Soon, I could hear an unfamiliar voice in the shack; it was a man. There was something else there with Petra. I couldn't understand what they were saying. Only bits and pieces of it came through to me as I bounced in and out of consciousness. "Should I remove her clothes?" The man said, keeping his tone low.

He was talking to Petra.

"You aren't making love to her, idiot," Petra's voice was sharp. "Just stick your dick in her and get her pregnant for crying out loud."

Pregnant?"

She was trying to get me pregnant? For what reason? Who was this man? Why couldn't I move? Panic began setting in me, but I still couldn't move. My body felt hot all over; every part of me pulsating. It was craving to be touched; it was craving human contact. It was after l**t.

L**t.

She drugged me again. Except for this time, there were so many more drugs in my system. Last time it was only half the amount and Marlon had the other half. Now it was the entire amount, and I could hardly feel my body.

My breathing was crisp as I tried to bring my mind back to reality.

"I don't think I can c*m like that. I need to be aroused," the man said.

There was a beat of silence before Petra answered, from the sounds of their lips, it sounded as though they were kissing.

Who was this man?! What was going on??

"I can make that happen," she said in a low and seductive tone.

I wanted to scream but I couldn't. I needed help. I needed to get out of here. But my consciousness was fading me once again; as the drugs took over my body, I no longer wanted to fight. I continued laying there, waiting to be touched. I wanted to be touched. I needed to be touched and I didn't care who it was.

My wolf was stirring excitedly inside me; she too wanted to be touched. I waited for him to rip my clothes off and have his way with me; I didn't care. I just wanted him. Whoever he was. Or even her. Anybody.

They were interrupted by the door of the shack breaking open; Petra and the man jumped apart and let out a small shriek of surprise as they saw who was standing there.

"What the hell, Petra!"

Beatrice.

How did she know we were here? The other maids must have said something to her. Or maybe she was watching the entire time.

"Are you insane?" Petra said nothing. "Jacob?" Beatrice said, staring the mystery man up and down.

"It's not what it seems," Petra said, lamely.

She was caught red-handed.

"Then why is Jacob's dick out?" Beatrice asked.

Petra shot Jacob a look who struggled to put his d**k back in his pants.

"Get the fuck out of here," Beatrice hissed to them.

Jacob didn't hesitate, he ran out before she could even finish her sentence. Petra went to follow him out, but Beatrice grabbed a hold of her arm, holding tightly making her wince as her nails dug into her flesh. "I will deal with you later," she hissed between her teeth.

Petra said nothing more as she stumbled out of the shack.

"For God's sake," Beatrice muttered as she looked at me. "This is not what I wanted to deal with right now."
