CHAPTER FIFTEEN
ASTRID’S POV
It’s been a few days since Freya left and I can’t describe how happy I am. These past days have just been about me doing my chores and living life like a normal servant should.
If Freya was here, I would have had to attend to her every need and get spanks every now and then.
She is the absolute worst.
I have tried my very best to avoid her father and brother these past days. Whenever I finish doing my chores, I lock myself up in my bedroom where I read stolen books all day.
Yeah, Freya had a personal library which she hardly used and once in a while, I go in to steal some books. I stopped schooling since her father took over so it has always been up to me to read and be on track.
Freya on the other hand who had the privilege to go school never liked the idea at all. She had the habit of always skipping classes and staying home all day. Such a bad student.
I have always envied Freya. She has always gotten what she wished for. When we were kids, If she wanted a new dress or shoe, she would get it. Even if someone annoyed her and she demanded for his or her head, it will be presented to her on a silver platter. Her father made sure she always had anything she wanted. She is worse than a spoiled brat.
Right now, with his power, her father has managed to get her to marry the man of her dreams. Ever since we were teenagers, she has always dreamed of marrying Alpha Asher. Now, that dream has come true and I am so jealous of her.
I wish my life was just a quarter as good as hers.
Ugh!
“Astrid”
I jump in fright, almost cutting my hand with the knife I’m using to chop onions on the chopping board.
I turn around abruptly to face whoever it is with an eternal frown masked on my face, only for me to see the Maid supervisor, Ma’am Leah. I quickly keep the knife away and bow to her respectfully.
Ma’am Leah is a very strict woman and if there’s one thing I know for sure about her, it is the fact that she hates Alpha Adolph and his entire family.
Sometimes, she intentionally ask us to make very spicy food for Freya so she would not enjoy her meal.
Once in a while she always taught Freya a few lessons in style and that always made my day.
“Good day Ma’am Leah” I greet calmly and lift my head up. I can see from the look on her face that what she is about to say won’t find me well at all.
“Good day to you too, Astrid.”
“Is there anything I can do for you?” I ask as politely as I can and she just shakes her head and takes two steps towards me.
“No. Not for me. You have been summoned by Mr. Tyr, in his bedroom”
The words fly out of her mouth and land on my ears and like pollen grains, they stick on it. Echoes of her words fly deep into my brain for interpretation.
I look up at Ma’am Leah with a sorry look in my eyes and I notice the sadness in her eyes as well and I let out a deep breath.
“May I know why?” I ask calmly and she shakes her head.
“He didn’t say, he just asked to summon you into his bedroom immediately”
“Oh…” I whisper. “Okay then, I’ll… I’ll just go and see him then” I say nervously as I gently take off the apron from my body and lifelessly walk out of the kitchen.
“Astrid” Ma’am Leah calls and I swiftly make a hundred and eighty degree turn to look at her again, hoping that she’ll tell me it was just a prank.
“Yes Ma’am” I answer eagerly and she purses her lips and sighs.
“Take care over there” She cautions and I nod my head in disappointed and walk on to my doom.
Everyone knows the one thing that happens to any servant girl that gets summoned into Tyr’s bedroom.
It’s either she complies and has sex with him in peace, or brutally rapes her. He even kills some girls after the process and nothing is ever done about it.
Tyr is an animal and I would rather die than have any to do with him.
I touch the side of my skirt to feel the dagger I always have stacked in it and I can feel my heart pounding in my chest.
I have been keeping that dagger in there for about five years now and you have no idea how many time I have wanted to use it on Freya every time she hit me for absolutely no reason. I always held myself back, but at this moment, I don’t think I would hold myself back from burying this dagger deep into Tyr’s flesh if he dares try to do to me what he does with other maids.
I understand that we do not have the ability to find our mates, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let some nincompoop take my virginity.
The only dignity I have left.
As I walk over to his chambers, I keep looking around in guilt to make sure that no one suspects me of my plan, if that happens, I will be six feet down before I can even execute it.
“Astrid!” Tyr’s familiar voice jars in my ears, almost giving me a heart attack and I come to an abrupt halt as I wait for him to approach me. I nervously clutch the dagger underneath my dress and suck in a nervous breath as his bold footsteps approach me.
“As…trid” He sings with a sickening smile on his face as he takes his stand before me, in an akimbo position.
“Good… good day to you Mr. Tyr” I stutter as I greet him and he chuckles and takes three steps closer to me.
Now we are just a few inches away from each other. I badly want to take out the dagger and stab him right now but I know that would not be a very smart move to make.
Tyr is ten times stronger than I am and taking the dagger from me will be just a piece of cake for him and if that happens, I’m dead and buried.
I start walking backwards nervously once he takes a few more steps towards me.
“Where do you thing you are going to Astrid?”
“No… no where”
“Then stop taking steps backwards” He orders but I don’t obey. I take two more steps backwards and that angers him.
“You filthy wench! You think you can outsmart me, huh?” He asks with a raspy voice as he roughly grabs me by my right arm and mannerlessly push my against the wall. I hit my face hard against it and I feel a sticky liquid trickle down from my nostrils. I immediately know it’s blood, but that’s not my main problem now.
My right arm in his hand is just minutes away from dislocating and the excruciating pains coursing through it is unbearable. I let out a loud scream but it turns to pathetic muffles when he covers my mouth with his gigantic palms.
“Now you shut your mouth, you and I know no one is going to come to your rescue so there is no point of you screaming”
“Please let me go!” I beg within sobs but he doesn’t here me out.
I feel the life walk out of my body when I hear him fumbling with his trouser belt. I try to peep to see what’s going on but he wickedly pushed my head the against the wall and I scream again.
“Tyr please don’t do this, please. At least not here” I cry in agony and he let’s out a loud laugh as he brutally raises the hem of my skirt up and cubes my thigh with his big rough hands.
“Where would you want it to happen? In my bedroom?”
“No… just not here”
“Shut up bitch!” He scolds and hits my head yet again against the wall and I feel my entire face go numb. “I will have sex with you wherever I want and you are in no position to object, is that clear?” He warns and I close my eyes and let the tears spill down.
Someone tell this man this is not sex, but rape!
The only person who can stop me from this ordeal right now is the moon goddess.
I gasp in fear when I feel his fingers traveling higher up my thighs and right now I’m not only worried that he is touching me inappropriately, but I’m also worried that he might find the dagger that I stuffed in the waist band of my skirt.
If that happens, I will skinned alive.
I close my eyes and cry in agony as his hands keep travelling up. His entire weight is on my body as he is leaning on me and every part of me hurts. My arms that’s still twisted in his hand hurts, my forehead and nose is bleeding, my joints are aching, I mean right now, I just wanna die.
“Here we go…” He says as he grips my pant beneath my skirt and from the manner in which he’s holding the material, I know he wants to rip it completely and if he does, the dagger stuffed in it is going to fall down.
I’m officially dead meat right now.
“Tyr!” A loud voice calls from behind and Tyr immediately jerks off my body and steps aside.
I exhale heavily in relieve and I tiredly turn around with my eyes bloodshot from crying only to see Aloha Adolph fuming at Tyr.
“Al… pha Adolph” I call with a tiny voice as tears come streaming down my cheeks.
“Go to your room” He orders and I scamper off like a rodent.
For the first time in forever, Alpha Adolph defended me from being assaulted.
Thank you moon goddess.
