Unknown P O V

"Master, I fear for something."

"And what is that that you fear?" Master asked.

"I gave her the content but..but I don't understand what is happening. Although it has reduced her scent and weakened her a lot, something weird is happening around her. I'm afraid her real form will burst out soon. Please give me a drug that has more effect than the previous ones." I requested.

"Hmm. It'll kill her human body and that's not good. You know what, I can dilute it a little bit. Just a little bit for you. Her real form and her scent will become well hidden after taking it."

"Thank you, master." I went on my knees and greeted him.

"It's alright. Stand up, you have been working hard, you'll be rewarded greatly once your job is done." Master promised.

"Thank you, master." I greeted with my head hanging low.

"It's alright, you can go before your absence is noticed." He waved his hand before disappearing out of sight.

Aria's P O V

We sat in the dining area made for servants and started eating, we are large in number. Both young and old sat down to eat.

"After eating, remember to take the remaining food to the slave's quarter." A madam came in to announce.

I haven't seen Lara since the last time we spoke in the kitchen. I thought she was in her room but when I checked, I didn't find her there. I waited for a long but still didn't see her. Maybe she is not yet done with her duty.

After eating dinner with the rest I carried plates of food and followed the rest of the servants to the slaves quarter.

On getting there, I saw slaves locked in a cell, about 10 in one cell, I can see 2 men and 8 women in one cell. I bet since female slave or larger than a male slave. But they should have just put the male slaves in a single cell and the female slaves together. What poor arrangements? I wonder why they are arranged like this.

"Give me some food!" Someone shouted to a follow maid.

"Shut up you low life. You are a slave and don't deserve to eat." She shouted back at her.

"You..shut the hell up." The female slave growled loudly at her.

"Oh, you think you scare me? Why do you think you were put in a cell with 6 different male slaves? You bitch! You are a slut and should forever be hungry." The maid spat.

I went closer to the cell to indeed notice 6 male slaves and just the female slave.

"Why? Why was it arranged like that?" I found myself asking the maid.

"You don't know the reason? I said she is a horny bitch and loves fûcking everything possible. So to satisfy her high sex drive, she was put in with 6 different male slaves. She is the only one like that and when the slave night comes, she's the only one always scoring the highest score. The high officials will end up calling to see if she could be bought but once they see her in between, they run away from her because it's so wide. She's a real bitch. Never give her food when you get her. She might pass on her dirty spirit to you. Be warned." The maid explained everything while glaring at the so-called slave.

"You...! I'll kill you once I get hold of you, I promise." The female slave shouted.

Oh, so that's the reason why the arrangement is like that? The two men 8 women are better, but really? Do they give each other sexual pleasure even in a cell?

"I dare you to bitch. You know you'll die once you touch me." The maid fired at her.

"Then open the gate. Try me." The slave challenged and the maid surprisedly dropped the tray she was holding and opened the cell door.

The next thing that happened surely won't leave my mind in a long time.

The slave dragged the maid in and sank her teeth into the maid's neck. She sucked her blood until the maid gave up the ghost.

"You are right, I am a bitch that no one wants to buy but I can't still leave this world alone. You'll have to escort me." After saying this. She bit off the maid's head and started eating it. After eating it, she tore the maid's dress and fixed her hand in between her leg before pulling out all private parts.

I covered my mouth with my palm in order not to puck.

Then lastly, she clawed herself to death.

The tray of food fell off my hand at that and before you know it, I was already out of the slave quarter.

No, I can't take this anymore. Like everyone was just watching things happen the way I was watching it. No one made a move to stop it. Only kept watching.

Even the 6 male slaves in the same cell with the female slave moved far from them to give them chance.

It's horrible. I can't continue living like this. I can't continue living here like this. What if I get killed here too?

Running back to my room, I met Lara coming out of the door.

"Where have you been?" She probed.

"At the slave quarter. I'm never going back there again," I shouted before running into the room.

She followed me and sat down beside me on the bed.

"What happened? Should I get you a glass of water?" She inquired.

"Yes, please. I need something to cool me down." I nodded.

She smiled and left the room, came back a few minutes later before handing the cup to me. I gulped down the content of the water before giving the cup back to her.

"Thank you." I thanked.

"It's alright. Now tell me what happened, why are you like this?" She questioned.

"At the slave's quarter." I started.

I walked out of my room after being called by a madam. I don't know why I was called tho.

After going to her, she handed me a tray of whiskey with four glass cups. Go to the swimming area and serve them. The madam instructed.

"Yes madam," I answered, thank moon goddess I've been shown area the large palace so I can still remember where the swimming pool area is. I followed the way as I remember and successfully got to the pool area to see two girls dancing. They are only putting on a pant and a bra.

Who are they? I wondered as I kept walking.

There are also three men seated watching the two girls dance.

Wait, they aren't just any type of person. They are the crown prince, his Beta, and the Dave guy.

The Dave guy can't stop smiling as he watched one of the ladies dance.

"It's a pity that mine didn't show up. It's a pity that she isn't feeling too well, I need her real bad." Beta said.

"Haha, sorry, bro. Pray for her quick recovery." Dave laughed, mocking the Beta.

"How am I doing your Highness?" The other girl turned to look at the crown prince with a beautiful smile on her face. She's really pretty.

Beautiful skin too.

"Where is the drink? Where is it?" Dave suddenly asked bringing me out of my reverie.

"I'm here...I'm here," I shouted as I moved quickly, I placed the tray on a spare table there. While placing it, I noticed the crown prince staring at me with looks I can't explain.

"I'll go now." I bowed and made to leave.

"Come here. Don't you know that you are supposed to serve his Highness on your knee?" The lady that asked the crown prince how she was doing thundered at me. I flinched at her loud voice.

"I'm..I'm sorry." Geez, I got carried away and didn't remember the rule.

"Shut the fûck up! You were not permitted to open your fucked up ass mouth. How dare you?!" By now she was shaking with anger.

Wait, the crown prince didn't talk? Who the hell is she when the crown prince didn't utter a word?

"B, come here." The crown prince suddenly spoke.

The lady's face turned to that of delight. She went to him and immediately joined her lips with his.

"I'm so sorry, that lowlife caused this. It won't happen again." She sat properly on his leg and placed her head on his chest.

From the corner of my eyes, I notice both Dave and the Beta staring at me.

"Get lost." The crown prince suddenly hissed, I bowed, turned, and walked out of the swimming pool area as fast as possible.

Getting out, I felt my heartburn a bit. What the hell? Why is my heart reacting this way? I placed my hand on my chest and caressed it softly.

This has never happened to me before.

"Aria?" Lara popped out and called.

"Yes?" I turned to look at her.

"What is wrong with your chest? Are you having pains?" She asked.

"No, I'm just feeling too weak. Nothing else," I nodded not wanting to bother her with the way my heart was reacting.

I fell asleep that night with my heart still acting strangely. The picture of how the crown prince and that lady kissed remained in my head.

I can't seem to get it off my head.

*

I woke up the next morning feeling weaker than ever.

This has always been my life. Weakness. Weakness, I'm never strong. I'm always getting weaker.

After washing my face and teeth, I joined the rest of the maids to clean the palace. This time around I was assigned to the field area.

We were busy cleaning the area when a madam came and called me out

"You, from today you'll have a permanent working area." She announced.

Which area is that? I thought it myself.

"From now on, you are to clean the west wing area alone and so the prince's office, the prince's room and you are to do it alone." The woman finished. Others gasped at the announcement.

"Why? Why is that?" I questioned.

I mean, about 10 people do that. Why am I the only one who has to be doing it from now on?

Instead of an explanation, I felt something hit my cheek. I lifted my hand to my cheek and caressed it.

She slapped me.

"How dare you question orders? Do you think we are playing here or what?" She snapped, her eyes turning red with anger.

"No..no madam, I'm sorry." I bowed to show that I was sorry.

"From tomorrow, you'll start your duty fully and no one is allowed to help you. No one!" She huffed then turned back and left the garden.

Lara rushed to me once she was gone.

"What happened? What did you do to get punished in such manners?" She questioned but I couldn't reply as tears blinded my vision.

I just want to get out of here. I want to leave here.

Without replying to her, I continued my duty.

*

I dragged myself to my room and into the bathroom to have a cold shower.

The only thing that could warrant such punishment is watching that female slave kill that maid. It's that right? Because I can't remember what I did wrong to deserve such punishment. Or...?

Could it be the crown prince? Because I didn't kneel to serve him. But he didn't complain about it. It's probably that lady with him that made him ask for me to be punished. Oh, I hate her already. I hate her so much.

Damon's P O V

"She was shocked man. But what exactly is going on in your mind?" Matthew asked.

"She is not my mate. I'm certain, I can't perceive her scent again. It's gone, even when she was standing pretty close to me. I couldn't perceive it. She smells more human too." I explained.

"So that means she made herself smell that way to get your attention? What guts? Does she dare do that?" Matthew groaned standing up.

"She should be killed then. It's an offence, right?" Dave asked.

"Yes, it is. I'll put out order now for her to be killed." Matthew said and made for the door.

"Wait, something else happened tho. I know she's only playing games with me but last night. I felt a painful tug in my chest which is not from me. It's really weird." I revealed.

"Ah, come on Damon. Let me kill her myself." Matthew requested.

"No, don't. I'll teach her a painful lesson for thinking she could do that to me. Leave her to me." I instructed, looking damn serious.
