Slaved To The Alpha

Then out of nowhere, all of a sudden, he just smiled and laughed. “Why are you so tense, Krisna? It’s like you just met me right now. I know that we haven’t been friends that long yet, but you should be comfortable with me already. Just throw away your introversion, don’t be timid when you’re talking to me.” He said to me in an enthusiastic tone of voice, as if he was trying to encourage me or something.

I wasn’t shy because of him, in fact, I wasn’t shy at all. It’s because he stared at me with that look on his face. He looked at me like I was stupid or something, which then made me feel like one. Then he says that I shouldn’t be shy when I’m talking to him? Like, what do you want to make me feel, huh? “What? I’m not shy, and I was just shocked that you were staring at me earlier. You looked like you saw a fly or something come out of my mouth. I was feeling anxious earlier. Just don’t do that.” I said what I was thinking since it looked like he was telling me that I was wrong, and he was right even though he was the one that just came up to me.

Greco was still smiling and laughing. I don’t know if he was joking or not. I don’t even know if he was serious when he said that I shouldn’t be shy when it comes to him. I think I see what he was trying to do, and he was trying to manipulate me into thinking that I’m wrong, but there’s literally no wrong or right here. What was he trying to prove? I wanted to ask him so badly, but I just couldn’t force myself to tell him the truth.

This was the first time I saw this side of Greco, and I don’t know if he’s aware that he’s doing this or not. If he’s doing this on purpose, then he’s a jerk. I wanted to say those words to him, but I had only just met him. I thought that I should give him a chance.

“I’m not tense. What are you talking about? I was just surprised when you stared blankly at me without saying anything. But I guess that you just spaced yourself out.” I said in a concerned tone of voice as he was still smiling.

“Good good, I thought you were angry at me or something.” I was really furious at him, even if he was aware of what he was doing or not. In my book, that isn’t a nice gesture. But I just lied to him not to hurt his feelings. So I’ll give him this chance since we haven’t really been friends that long.

Krisna’s POV

I still had one problem that remained unsolved, and I still had no place to train. I wish Fravis were here. Why didn’t he come? I forgot to ask him that before I left. Still, if he was here, I’m sure that he would be able to find a place to train after just one glance at the place since he has a keen eye. I swear, he can see almost everything in his sight. He can easily identify them in under a second. I wish I had that ability so I could just analyze an environment and already know where each one is. That would be very handy, especially if I were to go rogue. If I had that ability, I would almost always be one step ahead of any foe I encounter out there. Everything would be in my favor, and I should’ve gotten him to teach me that while we were training, that would’ve been an insane skill to learn though, maybe he learned it when he was young. I’m sure that I’d have to spend years of training and concentration just even to get a glimpse of what it must feel like to have that unique ability. But that’s for another time, and I should only focus on one goal at a time.

“So? You look like you still have something on your mind. What’s with you this morning? Sorry if I was being a jerk earlier. I was just kidding around, you know. But I’d like to help you out since you still looked a little troubled.” He said to me in a sympathetic tone of voice, and he looked concerned about me. I was feeling guilty because he thought that he had done something wrong. Well, he did do something wrong, but I didn’t care about it that much. I only cared about maximizing my day and nothing else.

“Oh yeah, I still need somewhere to train. I was trying to find you earlier to see if you know some places here where I can train without alerting the pack. As you can see, I don’t exactly look like a maid that can fight, right? But I also don’t want them knowing that I can, so that’s why I just train in secret.” I said what I wanted to do to him since I didn’t want to keep any more secrets from anyone here, well, except for Asthrid. I won’t be telling her my plans anytime soon.

He looked surprised when I told him I only train in secret. “Wait, why do you hide that you can fight? Not that I don’t believe that you can fight, surely you know how to handle yourself, but why the discretion?” He asked me the moment I told him that it was a secret. “And why are you telling me all of this when it’s supposed to be a secret?”

That caught me off guard, and I was a little comfortable telling him my plans that I told him a secret only Fravis and I should know. “I… I… I told you because I trust you, and I trust that you won’t tell anyone else about this secret.”

“And how do you know that I won’t blab about this to Grant? Or even Asthrid?” I don’t know if he was teasing me or was just serious at the time, he looked like he was a little serious, but I doubt it.

I took a deep breath and looked at him in his eyes. “Because I trust you, okay? I know we’ve only met for a day? But I completely trust you with my secrets, and hopefully, you won’t give a reason to make me regret that decision.” I said to him with full confidence in my words, and I didn’t really have a choice but to trust him because I had already told him the secret. If he did tell them what I was doing, then I would’ve been caught by Asthrid and the Alpha family. But if he doesn’t, then that’s how I’ll know that he’s loyal and a good friend to me. I don’t care if we don’t know each other that well. My instinct told me to trust you, so that’s what I did. So please don’t make me regret this.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
