Filed to story: The Alpha Kings Hated Slave
“Get out and let the king work,” the queen ordered.
Donna didn’t want to, so she stared at the king, waiting for him to counter the queen’s orders.
He didn’t stop writing as he said, “If the queen tells you to leave, then by all means, you should be standing behind this door in the next minute.”
Donna’s face turned red from embarrassment and even anger. Kamara was doing her best to hide her smile. This was so like her father. Everyone in the kingdom knew he favored this mistress more than the other five mistresses, and even more than the queen when it comes to ‘his bed’. But out of it? He respects his queen immensely and does not counter her orders unnecessarily.
Donna bowed her head, turned and marched out of the room. Her angry steps thudded the floor as she walked.
In the kingdom of Salem, Vetta whirled around and faced Danika. “You must be very proud of yourself, are you not? You must be feeling like you’ve won everything you wanted?” she stated, venom dripping from her words.
“I don’t understand what you mean,” Danika answered truthfully.
“You don’t even like him, do you? All this-” she waved her hand around them, “-is just pretense. Pretending to love him, to care about the scarred, lonely king and worm your way into his cold heart to make him forgive you-forgive your father! To make him forget who you really are!” the mistress snarled.
Each accusation was like a whip to Danika’s heart. She began shaking her head. “No, no way. I love the king, and I don’t pretend-“
“You are just as monstrous as your father.” Vetta threw the words at her, so angry her face was red with it. “You go about deceiving the world to see you like a good person when you’re as venomous as the man who birthed you! I know you must be feeling victorious, patting yourself on the back for getting him.
For making him fall for your fake charade! But you will always be his slave, Danika! You will always be lower than dirt, with this bastard you carry in your womb!”
The stab in Danika’s chest was too much. The hatred that emit from the mistress was so much, her eyes watered at the unbearable sight. “I am not my father. Why do you hate me so much?” Danika asked. “Why? I never did anything bad to you. I’ve never trained slaves. I’m sorry for the things my father did to you and every other person, but I am not my father!”
“Sorry can never erase what your father did, Danika!” Vetta was almost screaming. “Being sorry can never erase the suffering! The pain! And yes, I hate you! I hate you so much, it’s so suffocating for me!”
Danika reared back like she slapped her.
“You have any idea what he did to me? Your father!? The rapes!? The beatings!? The whippings!? The workloads!? Do you have any idea what he did to me!?” Angry tears filled Vetta’s eyes and overflowed as she shouted. “Your father caused me to have two miscarriages under heavy beatings and rapes! And now-and now…now I don’t have a womb! I can’t have another child again! That is one of the million things your father did to me, Danika! How dare you stand here and ask me why I hate you!?” Vetta screamed at her, her hands fisted tightly at her sides.
Danika stood frozen before her while her father’s sins came back to her all over again.
Vetta swiped her eyes, wiping the angry tears away so swiftly. She glared at Danika. “Now, tell me how fair it is? Here you are, carrying the king’s child, and you must feel on top of the world to get all his care and attention. You must feel so good and proud of yourself. Your father treated us like dirt and tortured us for ten years, I was the one that was there with him! I took so many punishments meant for him because I love him! After everything, I can’t even have him, and I bet you can guess why,right!?” She didn’t pause for a minute. “It’s all because of you! You! Cone’s daughter is right here and she took him from me! So tell me again, why wouldn’t I hate you so much!? Why!?”
Danika shook her head miserably. She stared at her trembling hands, and it was not because of her blurry visions at all. “I did n-nothing wrong. I was his slave; it’s not my fault that he cares for me. Just what do you want me to do?”
“I want you to disappear! I want you dead! I wish you were never in our lives! I wish for you to just disappear, Danika, that’s exactly what I wish for. You don’t deserve him; you never did. You think you have suffered!? I have suffered all my life! I sufferedwith him! I should be the one with him, not you! I should!” she screamed and then doubled over.
Danika gasped as the mistress stopped mid-words and screamed out in pain. Her hand suddenly grabbed her lower belly, doubled over in pain.
“What is it!? What is happening!?” Danika asked uncertainly, fear filling her.
Vetta fell to the ground and screamed out again as a heavy pain ripped her apart from inside out. Blood stained the lower part of her clothes. So much blood. Danika screamed at the sight. She didn’t know what to do. What was wrong with the mistress!?
“Help me! Help me!” Vetta could hardly see or hear through the waves of pain that filled her body. She felt like she was dying.
For a second, Danika was torn between running away and staying. She turned to run away. Vetta grabbed her foot, the only place her hand could reach. Danika turned to stare at her with eyes so wide.
“Please…don’t leave me l-like this. Help me..” she cried, curling tighter into a ball, her hand gripping her stomach tightly.
Danika was torn. She really did want to run. But she did not have the heart to do it. She was never that kind of person.
How could she run away from Vetta when she was in such an excruciating pain?
Danika hurried closer and held onto the mistress’s arm. “How do I h-help? What do I do!?”
Vetta could only scream as new waves of pain gripped her belly in a tight fist.
Then she fainted in Danika’s arms..
Danika was able to call the guards. They came and took Vetta, and in a hurry, they rushed her to Baski’s bedroom while another guard rushed out to go and inform the king.
King Lucien was in court when the news came to him. There was important business with the kingdom of Ijipt he was trying to finalize. So he ordered the guard to rush to Angie’s place and call him.
Baski finished bathing, and after wrapping herself in a cloth, she quickly rushed out of her bathroom at the sound of commotion in her bedroom.
Danika was relieved to see her. She dried her tears, but more only kept coming. “She is b-bleeding badly. I don’t know what happened.”
Baski paled at the sight of Vetta. Her stained clothes, her unconscious face.
“It’s alright. I’ll take care of her. Thank you so much for bringing her to me, Danika. I’ll try to do something before Angie gets here.” The older woman rushed towards her herb bag and picked it up. She dumped everything on the table and started looking for the herbs that stopped breathing first. Vetta was bleeding too much, and at that point, she’d bleed out and die. “Talk to me, Danika. Tell me what happened,” she asked a panicked Danika who hovered beside her, her face filled with concern and worry.
“I d-don’t even know how to explain it, Baski. We were talking…sh-she was scolding me, and all of a sudden, she grabbed her belly and began screaming.” Danika explained the best way she could amidst tears.
“Just like that?”
“Exactly l-like that!”
“Okay, okay, that’s good. Why don’t you wait outside, dearie? I’ll do everything I can to help her.”
“Alright,” Danika mumbled as she walked out of the room. She couldn’t help replaying that moment in her head over and over again.
The words the mistress said to her kept replaying in her mind. She leaned against the door, her hand to her belly in a tentative caress. New tears filled her eyes.
“What is going on with you, Kamara?” the queen asked immediately as they walked out of her father’s study.
Kamara stared at the older version of herself. Her mother-like every other queen-was more of a queen than a mother. She loved her daughter so much, but her duties to her kingdom came first.
“Nothing is going on with me, Mother,” she responded automatically.
