Chapter Ten

Leon

The last thing I expected when I threw that banquet was for Dean to choose her.

It disturbed me greatly. It wasn't because I cared if he chose her or not, but it was my beast could not stand the thought of another man being with her.

After Silas took the girl out of the room, I stared at Alpha Dean’s unconscious body for a while before lifting him and placing him on the bed.

“To the beta to come, once his done with the task,” I ordered one of my guards.

“Yes, sir.”

Ten minutes later, Beta Silas was back.

“Did you keep her hidden?” I asked as soon as he closed the door behind him.

He nodded. “She hasn't stopped crying.”

“We are not here to babysit her. Strip Alpha Dean,” I ordered.

Beta Silas did as he was told without complaint. When he finished, I looked over Dean's body.

“You will get one of the slave girls, someone with similar body features and hair like that girl. She will please him, not something serious, maybe a blowjob, enough to traces of pre ejaculation or semen. We will convince him in the morning that he had her and he was just too drunk. Do you understand me?” I turned to look at him.

He nodded again. “Yes, your majesty.”

“Good. Get the girl, I will wait.”

The last thing I wanted to have a rift with the neighboring clan. Not because my clan was weak, no. But sometimes it is necessary to have one person on your side. And this was definitely one of those times. My patience was wearing thin, but Silas came back right on time with the girl.

“Your majesty,” She bowed her head, her eyes downcast.

Staring at her, I realized how different she was from Ava. They only shared the same hair color.

I turned to Silas, as if asking if this was all he could get.

“She was the only one who came close in similarities, sir,” he stated.

Well, I couldn't expect more from a slave. I didn't bother looking at her anymore. “Get to work?”

She looked up at me, blush of embarrassment on her cheeks. I watched her move to take Dean's other half into her hand. Her body was small, petite, almost. I could easily mistake her for a boy.

She looked back at us, “What should I do now?” She asked me softly, voice trembling.

My beast stirred inside my chest at the question.

“Were you not told? Suck on the damn cock” I snapped harshly.

And she did, after a while, I asked one of the guards to take her back.

“What now, sir?” Beta Silas inquired.

I rubbed my forehead. “Now, we go to bed, and tomorrow morning we will be the first to knock on his door,”

******

The next morning, I knocked on one of the guest rooms where Alpha Dean was. When he didn't open, I went in myself.

“Wake up, my friend,” I tapped him, putting on a fake smile.

When he didn’t budge, I slapped him hard across the face, earning a groan from him.

He struggled to sit up, his hair disheveled. He rubbed his cheek. “What happened?” His eyes widened in surprise when they landed on me. “How did you get in there?”

I snorted. “lt’s my place remember. I think you drank too much, my dear friend” I mocked with a sweet tone.

Suddenly, he sat up, naked. “Where is the girl I won?” he slurred.

I was annoyed by how excited he looked at the mere mention of her, I wanted to slap him again, but I calmed my beast calmed down, as soon as I realized that he was doing too much.

“I sent her away a few minutes ago, You had her remember?” I replied.

His brow furrowed in confusion. “No... She was there... I don’t remember anything,” He muttered.

“I am certain you had her. Look at the glitter and traces of makeup on your chest and face. Look at your boy” I pointed to his cock.

Dean reached for his dick in disbelief. As I expected, dried semen stuck to the tip. He sighed heavily and lay back down. “This isn’t what it looks like. It was too fast.”

“Oh, yes, it does. What were you thinking? Next time try not to drink too much if you are going to fuck a girl” I shook my head. “I hope you are going to get a little bit of rest so you can make sense.”

He nodded in embarrassment. “Okay, thank you,”

He mumbled.

I nodded back and left, closing the door quietly behind me. The day was going to be interesting.

Silas was waiting outside for me.

“Be watchful until he and his men leave,” I told him with a frown.

He nodded, “Understood, sir. What shall we do with the girl?”

“Keep here wherever she is until these men are out of here. My beast wants to see her but I don't. I need to see my mother” I answered.

“Very well, sir.” He gave me a curtsy.

Once inside my mother's chamber, I found Mother already awake and reading a book. She jumped in shock when she saw me.

“Leon,” She smiled in relief, standing up.

“Mother,” I smiled back. “Is everything all right?”

She nodded. “I heard you have guests, I didn't want to interrupt.” She motioned me towards an empty seat.

“Where is the witch?” Mother inquired.

“We are not sure if she's a witch yet,” I explained with a sigh. “We will find out in due time. For now, let's not talk about any of that.”

“We have to, Leon, send for the seers. Maybe there's a mistake somewhere, there is no way the moon goddess would have fated you to her kind.”

I scoffed in irritation.

“Whatever it is, mother, I have other pressing issues but tonight I would send for two seers” I stood up, ready to leave. “trust me tohave things under control” I added before leaving.

That evening, Alpha Dean and his men left.

“Thank you for hosting us, Your Majesty,” Alpha Dean greeted me at the doorway of my castle.

I shrugged. “Just doing my job and celebrating with a dear friend” I replied dismissively, trying not to show how happy I was that they were finally gone.

“If possible, could you send word to your Luna Delilah?” I added.

“I will,” He grinned at me, “thank you.” He added as he left.

I also sent for the seers.

When they both arrived, each one was busy with their own tasks. One was sitting in front of the fireplace, meditating. Another one was cleaning. After the first few minutes passed the one sitting in front of the fire spoke.

“The moon goddess makes no mistakes; you are both fated to be together, just as your first mate was supposed to be yours, but this one is different. Special even, she will give you an heir, a special child”

Both seers nodded, indicating that they accepted the news.

The other one spoke. “Give me your palms, your majesty,” He instructed in a calm voice.

“Okay.” I complied.

“Close your eyes,” The seer commanded as I followed his advice and closed them. “I see anger, pain, and guilt, but then I see love, love that rests on a shaky ground, but also a strong one. The time would come when whatever you decide would make or break what had been written by the goddess,” He concluded.

I opened my eyes, confused about these words.

The seers got up to look at each other.

“Our time here is over, Your Majesty,” They stated in unison.

“What? You didn't explain any of the things you said,” I growled, irritated.

They gave me sad smiles. “What we said was the truth, and we have no power to say any further, when the time comes, you will know,” The seer with the beard said.

“You can't be serious,” I exclaimed.

The bald seer nodded in agreement. “There is nothing more we could tell you.” Both bowed before and walked out of my chambers.

I glared at them. “Fine!” I shouted at their backs.

“Don’t tell me”

“What are you looking at?” I barked at Silas. “Bring me the girl,” I ordered.

Silas immediately left the room and soon returned with Ava. She was still wearing the same clothes with a lot of glitters that barely hid anything except her breasts. Her dark red hair disheveled.

She knelt in front of me, “Thank you for saving me from that man, sir,” She whispered.

I rolled my eyes. And looked at Silas who was looking back at me. I couldn't understand how she could feel gratitude towards me.

“Silas will take you back to the room you woke up in yesterday. You'll be cleaned and also be watched. Didn't build any silly ideas on trying to escape or running away, understood?”

Ava nodded. “Yes, sir,” she replied.

I gave Silas a nod, which meant go. He took Ava’s hand and pulled her away.

I collapsed on the chair, pretending like I wasn't bothered about what the seers said.
