Chapter 35: Chapter 35

In the crushing

In the pressing

A true Alpha

Is being made

However, while she

Suffers every day,

The strength of a true friend

Keeps her going

Kayola stands up to open the door. It is one of the soldiers, Arthur, and he looks at her with disdain. He pushes her aside and orders Alexis to follow him. Alexis jumps from her bed and proceeds to go with the soldier. As she does, she mouths the words, “I will explain to you later”.

Arthur says to Kayola, “The Alpha has asked you to clean out the incinerator.” With this, he leaves with Alexis. Kayola wonders where he is taking her. Well, she’ll get the full gist later. For now, she has to figure out how to clean out the large incinerator. How on earth will she do this?

Why is Devilio so petty? Is it because she refused to please him?

She leaves the room and looks around for a shovel. She gets to the incinerator and starts to work. As she does, all the people who go there to dump their refuse laugh at her and also throw things at her. Even the little children throw sticks at her and even flog her. She tries so hard to control the urge to tear them into shreds; but she does not, for two reasons.

One, she still cares about these people; and two, she has been greatly humbled by Devilio, that every iota of pride or anger against anyone who hurts her is gone. The only person she hates is Devilio, and she is biding her time. Kayola has fallen from grace, and it is a great fall.

When it is eleven p.m., she goes into her room, as she is too tired to continue. She has only been able to clear one-fourth of the incinerator. At this point, Devilio can go to blazes; all she wants to do now is sleep- she is even too tired to bathe. She just lands on her bed and sleeps off.

Suddenly, she rouses from her sleep when she realizes that Alexis is not in the room. As she is about to start searching for her friend, the door opens and Alexis walks in, limping. She has obviously been hurt.

“Alexis! What happened? What is wrong?” Kayola asks frantically.

“Relax, Kayola. It’s nothing,” Alexis says, trying to smile but failing at it.

“I should relax? Eh? You are limping,” she gasps at the dried patch of blood on Alexis’ rumpled dress. “You are bleeding, Alex!” she brings her hand to her mouth.

Alexis limps to her bed and sits gently. “Sit down, Kayola. I know you have questions, and I’ll answer all of them, don’t worry.”

Kayola also sits on her bed and locks her eyes with Alexis’.

“You see, that fateful night when our pack was invaded, I was with my mother in our house when soldiers suddenly burst into our room and took me. I was forcefully taken from my mother and she was slaughtered before my very eyes.

Kayola sighs deeply.

“The journey to this place from the pack to this place was tortuous; as I was dragged alongside other young slaves. We were tied to horses and walked barefoot till we arrived here. When we did, we were given this place to stay. The next day after we got here, all thirty of us were paraded in front of some of the soldiers. The Alpha asked them to pick any one of us as their pet, and Arthur chose me.

“Arthur is the one who came here and practically dragged you away a few hours ago?”

“Spot on, Kayola,” Alexis says. “I became Arthur’s personal toy. Since then, he has made me do unspeakable and despicable things. I gave him blowjobs, and he would intentionally cum all over my face. He never ceased to tell me how disgusting I was, and that I was just a cheap slave and I would die as one.

I remember the first time he had sex with me. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me after the tragic death of my mother. He forced himself into me and it was as if my insides were being torn apart. This is why I ran away from the square the day Devilio did the same thing to you.

The inhumane treatment did not stop. He kept asking for me and having me everywhere and in any way that he could. I thought that with time, he would get tired of me but it seems I am the only one who satiates his ravenous appetite.

Today, I suffered the worst thing,” Alexis pauses.

“What happened?” Kayola asks through gritted teeth.

I followed him as usual and he took me into his room. I knew what was going to happen, or I thought I did. However, I was met with a huge surprise. I met two other soldiers in the room, already undressing me with their eyes. I tried to run, but Arthur caught me and threw me on the bed. They all raped me and despite my screams, they did not stop.

I guess you know the rest of the story”

Kayola rushes to her friend’s side and hugs her tightly. After a while, she starts to pace back and forth in the room. “Oh, Alexis my friend; I will avenge your pain on all those who have hurt you. I will make sure they beg! You have my word!” Kayola concludes defiantly.

“I have no doubt that you will mete out justice when the time is right. For now, though, we must lay low and not cause any trouble. Okay? It is important that we make plans to make things better for one another, and that is why I will be helping with your chores.”

“Really? Thank you so much, Alex. You are the best, and I love you so much.”

“I love you too, Kayola. Now, let’s sleep; tomorrow is another day”

With this, the best friends sleep on the tiny bed, their bodies intertwined. Friends today, sisters forever.
