Sold To The Scarred Alpha
Chapter 17

MALIYA

1 lay on the bed as I stared at the ceiling in agony. I wasn’t just sad but I was also angry about everything that was happening

I had no control over the situation and I blamed myself every time for being so weak and vulnerable.

Nothing good has happened to me since the moment I moved into the pack and to make matters worse, I was carrying the child of a man who treated me like nothing but trash

I haven’t stopped crying since the second doctor confirmed the news and now there were no tears left to cry.

“Maliya, starving yourself will not help your situation. If you don’t care about your health, at least consider the growing baby inside you,” Claudia begged.

I haven’t eaten in two days in a row and my body felt numb from staying in the same position for two days.

It felt like my life had ended and my soul had left my body. I wanted to die so badly but the only thing stopping me from ending my own life was guilt of killing an innocent child whom I am about to drag into this shitty life with me.

“Even if you won’t take more than a spoon or two, you need to eat something. The doctor said your pulse is weak. You will die before anything even happens at this rate, Claudia tried to persuade me, but I was done listening to everyone.

All Lever did was follow orders but where has that gotten me? I was sold by my mate because he deemed me useless and not worthy of his love, and here, I was just a tool to satisfy the Alpha Dying of hunger would actually be a huge favour.

“Maliya, I’m talking to you,” Claudia tapped me gently, trying to gain my attention but I didn’t blink or bother to look her way.

Everybody was the same here. No matter how nice she was, she couldn’t help me escape the hell hole out of loyalty to the Alpha. I could have avoided this cruel fate if she tried to help, but no one cared.

Just then, the door cracked open and Madam Rosalie came inside.

Her eyes met with mine and her expression turned into a scowl. I no longer care about what anyone thinks or has to say. The worst they would do was punish me, and I hope wherever punishment they intend to give me would make the death come faster.

“What are you doing lying down like that? I heard you haven’t eaten in two days. What do you think you are doing? Trying to be rebellious? Act right before you are forced to act right,” she snapped.

“Can you just give me poison and make this pain end soon? I don’t want this child… I can’t give birth to the child–please save me from this misery, I found myself pleading desperately even though it was the opposite of what I–wanted.

Madam Rosalie stormed over to my side and I immediately sat up. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I jumped when her hands landed on my face, and my cheeks burned from the shap.

“You ungrateful bitch! How dare you think of dying when you are carrying the Alpha’s child? You don’t want to have a child?” She scoffed in disbelief. “You are carrying the Alpha’s child!” She snapped as if that was meant to make me feel any better.

“Alpha or not, it is still my body!” I yelled as tears pricked at the corner of my eyes.

“Your body is no longer yours, you are ingrained. Every single part of you belonged to the Alpha until he said otherwise. You only have one role, and that is protecting the child inside you,” she said with a frown.

“I’d rather die than give birth to a child that I can never love,” I hissed.

“Guards!” Madam Rosalie yelled, taking me by surprise.

Two guards rushed inside and I looked between them in disbelief. Are they going to punish me now? I am not even permitted to have my own opinion?

“Force her to stay upright if you must,” she ordered, and the guards rushed over to my side to yank me up.

“Handle her with care!” Madam Rosalie snapped and tears turned my eyes but I refused to let it fall.

“Get the maids to feed her, Madam Rosalie ordered Claudia and she hurried out of the room.

A few minutes later, Claudia came in with two other maids before standing behind Madam Rosalie.

“Feed her,” she ordered and the maids stepped forward immediately.

One held the tray while the other one fed me. The guards held me tightly and made sure that I couldn’t resist while they forced me to eat.

I refused to be treated like a toy. I spit out the food each time the maids forced it into my mouth without even attempting to chew or swallow it

“Proving to be stubborn won’t help your situation. Eat while I am being nice,” she warned sternly but I have had enough of being treated that way.

The maids kept on trying to make me eat and I continued to spill it out, refusing to give in to the pressure.

With a sigh, Madam Rosalie spoke again.

“Watch her every move and do not let her get out of sight, she ordered before storming out of the room.

“Just let me go!” I cried, suddenly feeling like a prisoner in the room. “If you keep on treating me this way, I’ll make sure to die with the child in my womb. Are you okay with that?” I threatened them, but nothing was working out my way.

“You don’t have to finish the whole food. Just take a few bites and have enough strength for your sake and the baby,” Claudia pleaded, and I shook my head frantically.

“I cannot give birth to this child, Claudia, I can’t,” I wiped the tears that burned my eyes and Claudia sighed.

“You need to understand that all of this is a little surprising. It is the first time something like this would happen, so don’t make it any more difficult, Claudia said, leaving me confused.

“What is that supposed to mean?”
