Chapter 23 

MALIYA 

It’s been three days since Alpha Xander came into my room and asked me to request a return, following all his orders. 

I have been thinking about what to ask for all day and night, but couldn’t bring myself to ask him anything. The one thing I needed the most was freedom and as long as I was carrying his child, he would never let me go. 

That much was obvious from the way he visited my room every morning and night to make sure that I was feeding well and taking my drugs too. 

He even brought a doctor over to check how I was doing and the baby’s condition too. For a second, I wished the baby would die or be in some kind of critical condition so that Alpha Xander wouldn’t have any choice but to abandon me but when would my prayers ever get accepted? 

The baby was in good condition despite how I deliberately starved myself for a few days. 

It felt like I was in a shackle with the child growing in me, but every day, I kept on reminding myself that I needed to survive somehow so if feeding well is what it takes, then I won’t starve myself for another second. 

Alpha Adonis has been surprisingly nice to me since the day he proposed to grant my wish. I don’t know how long it would last or if he was merely acting so that I wouldn’t self–harm myself until I could deliver his baby, but living in this hell hole has been a little bearable. 

Madam Rosalie was no longer on my neck either and the only thing they all troubled me about was taking care of my health. 

I bet it was all the Alpha’s order, but no amount of kindness he shows me would ever make me change my impression of him. He was a beast and he would always remain a beast. 

Speaking of the devil, the door cracked open and he came in with an apple in his hands. The maids bowed to show their respect before they began to leave the room one after the other again. 

It has become a ritual now. Whenever the Alpha came in, the maids would leave the room immediately as if they were trying to give us some kind of privacy. 

I rolled my eyes as they walked out and the Alpha doesn’t seem to mind one bit. 

“How are you feeling?” He asked as he tossed the apple in his hands to me. 

“I’m fine.” I whispered, surprised to see how eager he was to keep his baby in good shape. Does he even bring me fruits now? 1 scoffed in disbelief. 

“Are you feeling any kind of discomfort?” He asked again and I wondered what was with the enquiries. 

“No, I’m fine,” I said again and he nodded. 

“Good. Today is Alpha Maxwell’s birthday party and you will be accompanying me, he announced, taking me by surprise. 

“Alpha Maxwell?” I asked. I don’t know who that was as I never really got to meet important people while I was with Kane- 

He stopped me from associating myself with the other maidens too so I barely knew anything that was happening not to talk to hearing gossip. 

“Yes, Alpha Maxwell.” He confirmed. The Alpha of the Blue Ray pack.” 

Why am I accompanying him to an Alpha’s party? I am just a slave and I am very much aware of the fact that not just anyone is invited to parties like that.

He could have asked someone else if he didn’t want to go alone Why should I accompany him? 

“Do you mind if I ask why?” I tried to sound as polite as I could and he nodded. 

“Since 

you are carrying my child, you have to go everywhere with me. I don’t trust you on your own and you have proven that the maids are not enough to watch over you countless times he said.

Even if it was true that I do not listen to the maids, it is not enough reason to take me to such a party. I won’t only feel out of place, but I also won’t be comfortable. 

“If you are worried about me doing something stupid then be rest assured that I have no intention of doing anything. Moreover, the guards are here and there is no way I could run away even if I want to, I pointed out 

He moved closer to me and my heart raced with anxiety. No matter how nice he was pretending to be, I always remind myself that he was still the beast from the very first day and I can not forget that. 

I shifted uncomfortably on the bed as he leaned close, and my heart drummed against my ear. 

I felt intimidated by his presence but I pretended as if it was nothing. 

“You will be accompanying me because I want you to be there, he said in a low voice that sent chills down my spine and I nodded immediately, unable to argue not even if he was standing that close. 

He took a step back and I released a breath I didn’t realize that I was holding. 

“What if I don’t want to go with you? Will you kill me?” My heart skipped a beat as I asked and he chuckled. 

His smile was so beautiful and I couldn’t help myself but stare at him in admiration. 

“I won’t kill the woman carrying my child,” he assured me but it only made me feel even more uncomfortable. 

Would he kill me for defying his orders if I weren’t carrying his child? 

I swallowed the lumps in my throat as I began to imagine it in my head. I released a shaky breath, but he didn’t seem to be aware of how I was feeling. Or maybe he doesn’t care. 

Tll send a few people over later to help you get dressed and prepare you for the night,” he said before taking his leave. 

I was alone in the room when I began to hear sounds from the hallway before the door was pushed open. 

A few maids came in with different bags in their hands and I wondered what was happening. 

“The Alpha said we should help you get dressed,‘ one of the maids said and I wondered why there were so many bags when all I would do was just stand beside him the whole night like a fucking bodyguard 

“Come and sit here so that we can get started,” the maid pointed to the seat in front of the dresser and I nodded. 

I sat down in front of the dresser, and the maids started working immediately. The lady applying my makeup started by applying a light layer of makeup, enhancing my features without making me look too done up. Then, they moved on to my hair, styling it in loose waves that fell down my back. 

I sat there impatiently, eager to see the result of what they had been doing for almost an hour now. 

Finally, the maids–brought out a beautiful gold dress from one of the bags on the floor and I couldn’t help but appreciate its beauty. 

The fabric was glowing in the light and I wondered how much it cost. The maids helped put it on. The first thing I did was turn to the mirror to see my 

reflection.

“Omg! You look so beautiful Claudia exclaimed as she walked into the room. 

I couldn’t blink from my reflection as I stared at the beautiful woman staring back at me.

The dress was a long, flowing gown, slit in the front enough to show my legs and stopped mid–thigh. 

It hugged my curves in all the right places, and I felt like a queen rather than a slave that I was. 

The maids had done an amazing job with my face and hair too. My hair was shiny black and my face was beautifully baked. 

I continued to stare at the mirror and all I saw was a beautiful woman with grace. For a second, I wished my life was different but I know I was wishing for too much. 

“The Alpha is waiting outside, Claudia announced as she led the way out, but I didn’t miss the sad smile that flashed on her 

face. 

“I wish you could look like this every day,” she whispered. 

“That is too much to hope for,” I said with a small smile and she nodded. 

She led the way out and I was being careful not to ruin the dress or I’d be in trouble. Alpha Xander added matching heels to the dress which made me feel a little uncomfortable while walking. 

True to Claudia’s words, Alpha Xander was already waiting downstairs. His back was on me and he had both of his hands tucked in his pocket while he stood with grace. 

The way his muscles flexed as he spoke to a maid was so attractive and I couldn’t stop myself from staring. 

Just then, he turned back to face me and it felt like time froze for a second. I felt my breath catch in my throat as I stared at 

him. 

He was even more handsome than I had remembered, his piercing eyes made my heart race as I admired his perfect body.” His dark hair was perfectly styled, adding to his beauty and all I could think about was how perfect he was. 

“No matter how handsome he is, he is still a beast,” a voice said in my head.
