Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Alyssa collapsed on the bed with a thump as she lay on her back and started at the ceiling. She was already back  in her room after a very active and tedious day. As she was enveloped in silence, her mind couldn’t help but drift towards the conversation she had with Tiffany earlier.

Tiffany had told her that she as a maid her no power to appoint a worker in the palace but luckily for Alyssa, the palace was currently hiring servants.

Tiffany had said that a selection was being held the next day to pick suitable palace maids. The competition was always fierce as a lot of women wanted the chance to work beside the Royal family and bask in luxuries. They also rushed to sign up because they were dreaming of having a glimpse of the princes even if it were a short while.

Some even went ahead to fantasize about a fairytale love story between them and the princes so they all dressed to impress. It was an event as big as a bride selection. She had asked Tiffany about a way she could make her spot in the selected few was guaranteed.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tiffany had said to dress humbly yet not raggedly and also to make sure to do the tasks very well. That was the only way to draw the attention of the examiner to her.

After giving a few words of advice, Tiffany had hurried off as she still had work to do at the palace. She had asked Alyssa to meet her at the palace grounds for the selections. Then, they had said their goodbyes before they separated and now Alyssa was back at the guest house.

She sighed heavily as she thought back to her interactions with Tiffany in that short while that they had met.

She felt like if she were under another circumstance she would have been best friends with Tiffany but now she had an obligation and duty to fulfill in order to regain her freedom. She couldn’t afford to be sidetracked by feelings of friendship or any other thing.

She pinched between her eyebrows as she shook those thoughts out of her head. She had to focus on the task at hand!

She needed to freshen up and rest because she had a long day ahead of her tomorrow.

Soon, she was on her bed and sinking into a nightmare filled dream.

The next day, Alyssa had checked out of the guest house and soon she was headed towards the palace after asking for directions.

She soon arrived at the palace gates after without a hitch.

She looked at the massive walls before her that housed an even more majestic castle and she couldn’t help but stare in awe.

She had lived in a castle all he life due to being a princess but still she couldn’t help but marvel. The palace back at Western Kingdom paled in comparison to this one by a milestone.

Now she could see why a lot of people were fighting to get their hands on the artifact because if it could make this castle a reality, then it was worth the fuss.

She would have also been eager to get it if it hadn’t been that she was more concerned about her freedom than riches.

What use was the massive amount if wealth if you would always have to look over your shoulders to make sure you weren’t being pursued by those in which you have incurred their wrath. Besides, it would also attract way too much enemies and malicious eyes and that was not what Alyssa wanted at all.

All she wanted was a peaceful and quiet life far away from the pain, malice, hate and suffering.

She sighed and passed through the first gate.

She soon stopped short when she saw the state the palace was in. Tiffany was not short on her exaggeration that the selections was going to packed full of people.

Before her, was a huge crowd packed with ladies if different shapes, styles and manner. The massive entrance was almost packed to the brim with women yet more still trickled in. It was just like an ocean where one could fish for women.

Worry set in as Alyssa wondered how she was going to enter. She wasn’t even sure how she would contact Tiffany as she hadn’t asked her due to her hurry.

Stuck in a dilemma, she could only stand at the gate and watch the chaos unfolding before her.

“Alyssa!” A soft voice called snapping her out of her reverie.

The voice wasn’t loud due to it being drowned out by others and she almost wouldn’t have heard it if it hadn’t been for the fact that she had trained her ear to be able to pick up sounds from a distance.

She had to be sure when her abusers were approaching in order to avoid problems so she trained her ear to pick up even the slightest footsteps. The fact that she was a wolf also helped as it was their natural trait.

She turned to where the voice originated from.

There she spotted a certain blond haired girl waving excitedly at her.

It was Tiffany and she was currently squeezing out of the hoard of ladies to approach Alyssa

Alyssa couldn’t have happier to see those sparkling grey eyes.

She chuckled as she watched Tiffany fight her way out of the tightly packed girls cursing and glaring at some of them who pushed her.

Soon, Tiffany was already before her and she bent over to catch her breath like she had just run a marathon.

“Are you okay?” Alyssa asked worriedly as she stared at the Tiffany’s flushed face.

“I’m… I’m…. Hold on! Let me catch my breath” she panted.

Alyssa waited till Tiffany was calm before they began to talk.

“Let’s head inside. The registration for candidates will soon be closed.” Tiffany said before she led Alyssa through the crowd.

Alyssa was surprised because for someone so small, Tiffany sure had a lot of strength.

Time passed and soon, Alyssa was holding the bronze palette that belonged to the candidates. And no sooner was she called to face the judge, which was surprisingly the queen.

She soon got over the shock because questions were being fired at her.

She answered them well due to her intensive experience as a slave in her father’s house and soon they were at the last question.

That was what stumped her and caused her to panic.

“Can you cook?” The examiner seated besides the queen asked.

Oh no! What should I answer? I can’t cook to save even myself!
