The Alpha in Heat

Alexander had offered me the first hearty meal that I’ve ever had. It felt uncomfortable to delight myself with some dishes that he usually eats himself so I have opted for a simple porridge instead. Well, he called it ‘simple’, but for my deprived stomach, it was way more than enough.

The fact that a fellow human was forced to wake up at 4 am to cook for me was a situation that I couldn’t imagine walking away from guilt-free. I even ate in her presence. Even though I have been officially stripped off of my slave title, I know that I shouldn’t be taking advantage of being at Alexander’s mercy by sharing the meal that I was given with the other slaves.

The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed yet again.

“Good morning, Miss”, a slave greeted me once I stepped out of the bedroom. She looked like she had been standing guard for a few hours now in wait for me as she was subtly hopping off from one foot to another out of discomfort. My heart throbbed at the sight. “There’s breakfast at the dining hall”

That would mean that I would have to eat while the slaves watch me again. I wasn’t anticipating that one bit.

“Thank you”, I replied softly with a hesitant smile. The slave bowed in acknowledgment once before running to the direction of the kitchen. Then, an idea lit up. “Uhh hey!”

She stopped in her tracks and slowly turned back around to face me. “M-Miss?”

I don’t feel like eating anyway. My stomach got used to eating a meal a week, after all, if you would call what I have been eating a meal, that is. With a sly smirk, I walked towards her before standing on my tippy toes to whisper in her ear, “On second thought… can you eat my meal for me? I’m still full so I don’t think I can”

She jerked away from me, her eyes wide. Then, she hastily waved her arms in front of her in denial. But the way she licked her lips, I knew that she wanted to give in and just accept the offer immediately. Of course, I knew why she was hesitating, so I understood her reaction.

“M-Miss! I don’t think t-that’s a good idea!”

I gently grabbed her wrists to stop her from flinging her arms around too much, chuckling at her behavior. Then, I gave her the best reassuring smile that I could muster.

“It’s okay”, I told her in a low voice. “Share the meal with the other servants, too. Alexander’s not around after all”

“Thank you so much!” she exclaimed happily after another moment of hesitance.
