Dahlia’s POVIn the end, Damon was found guilty.Something about him refusing to give the court Jared and stuff. I guess that explained Dad’s sudden change of attitude -- After five months, he finally got the justice he wanted.I wanted to visit Damon, but I couldn’t find a good reason.To see my old owner who kept me as a sex slave? To see the evil who was found guilty of the crime over my fallen pack? To see the man whom I betrayed and had a bad fallout with the last time we saw each other? Or...Just to see my mate.That word feels so strange to me now.I don’t have a wolf to feel the mate bond, and with Damon gone from my life, I have totally forgotten that I have a mate. Who is in prison now, for the most horrifying crime one can do.I can’t justify visiting him, and luckily, Dad and Justin helped me from struggling myself into halves.Dad has been unprecedentedly nice to me ever since the trial. Even nicer than before the incident, I would say. He insisted on having EVERY meal w
Dahlia’s POV“Do you even know what you are doing?! He is the monster that destroyed our home!” Dad presses on, but Aiden steps up and he stops a few inches away. He is furious and panting, as if he just hurried over when I decided to visit Damon. Two seconds ago.Could it be? Did Dad plant surveillance on me? This thought gave me a chill down my spine. Or maybe I feel cold because of how easy it is for me to suspect my own father now.I guess I can’t just forget everything like I was little just for a few days of kindness from him anymore.“You still haven’t shown me any evidence that pins what happened on Damon, Dad,” I remind him calmly. He is hiding something from me, I can feel it. And it annoys me. If Dad was using the stress of the case to explain why he avoided letting me in on anything before the trial, he is definitely failing to explain himself for still not showing me any of his investigations now.“You have no idea how brutal they are. Do you really want to look at the pi
Dahlia's POV "Miss Dahlia? Alpha Damon has sent for you again..." Murmuring, Ava's timid voice barely makes it through my bedroom door. I heard. He didn't just send for me, he sent his barbaric beta, Barke. It means I can either go to him, or get dragged to him. "Miss Dahlia...?" Ava knocks again, sounding like she's about to burst into tears facing the scary beta. Even for an omega, Ava is on the timid side. She is the maid Alpha Damon assigned me. How ridiculous, right? Giving an omega an omega maid. It's just one of his sick twisted jokes to humiliate me, just like the joke that's lying on my bed right now-- A red dress. A torn, red dress. They are having a huge party tonight here at the Alpha's mansion. He knows I hate joining these events, and he sent me this torn dress an hour ago. Then three men after that, demanding my presence. He took me home among slaves, saying he would protect me. I thought it can't get worse than being his sex toy, but now he sends me humiliations,
Dahlia's POVI need to fix the dress.I cut off the back area of the dress, wring it tight before tying a knot in the middle. It's now an irregular bandeau to tie over my breasts from behind. The knot in the middle of my chest, and its two ends draping down my back, one side a little longer than the other.The skirt area is too tight, so I can only fold it along its diagonals into a longer triangle before I sew it around my waist.He wants to show my body? I WILL show them!My bare neck and waist barely covered under two pieces that have no shape would definitely trigger that perfectionist's obsessive-compulsive disorder."You can't go like this! All you do is embarrassing him, you devil woman!" Barke eyes nearly pop out when he sees me, huffing angrily as I pass him.Like I'd care.Barke speeds up to block my way and I walk right into him. He dodges -- he doesn't dare touch his Alpha's sex slave. Even a sex slave, I belong to an Alpha, and am not to be humiliated just by anyone."Jus
If what I'm wearing now is slutty, then what her Alpha originally had in mind can only be described as disgusting. But obviously this is too much for her already. She is always in a tidy shirt with tight skirts, her hair always combed nicely into a bon behind her head, flat and dull, even now. Only this is the moment I suddenly realized -- She's mimicking Alpha Damon's neat style! To get his attention, I presume? An awkward attempt though. His style shouts restrain, but that brings up the wildness in his eyes even more, giving off a dangerous feeling of a fragile piece of clothing barely containing a fearful beast. However, doesn't have the dominating power behind his soulful eyes, her prude style only comes off as dull and boring. Now I can have some fun. "I'm sure to Alpha Damon, hot is defined as a tight hair bun." I curve my lips and Lola hisses at me. But she wouldn't cross the line, not with her dear Alpha next to her. "But how do you know he doesn't prefer slutty over
Dahlia's POVWhat was I expecting? That he might be a miracle after my pack was destroyed? That he can be my savior when I lose everything? I guess our mind IS oblivious. Just because he threw me a gift or two I thought I was cared for, I forgot that I had lost everyone that did care about me.I have no one now. No one but myself.As I'm buried in self-loathing, they are having a great time as if nothing happened."So, where did you find yourself such a stunner?" A guy shuts me an explicit wink and I bury my face deeper."How dare you!" Another laughs at him, "He wouldn't even let anyone see her if today wasn't--"Alpha Damon clears his throat and the guy pursed his lips with a grin."She's not your true mate, is she???""No way! A mate for THE Hades?...No way!""Definitely! She's the first ever to move into his mansion!""Tell us, Damon!""Yeah, tell us!"I close my eyes, only hoping this moment can get over with faster.Did they not see what just happened?! Would the Alpha treat me
Dahlia's POVLola takes her drink for a sip, her eyes landing on the glass like it suddenly grows so interesting that it catches her full attention. But her ears are burning red."I never had anyone before, and it has never been a problem." Alpha Damon grunts in frustration, ignoring the man's suggestion altogether.I literally watch embarrassment replace the anticipation on Lola's face."That's because you are showing a good attitude with your mate-hunting visits! Which you stopped!" The guy huffs, also in frustration. I think he is some elderly of the pack -- as in, some high ranks who served the Alpha before Alpha Damon, and is now retired.Though I didn't know the devil himself would have mate-hunting visits -- to visit other packs hoping to find your true mates. I laugh at that image."That's amusing to you?" Ignoring the elderly, Alpha Damon lowers his head at me, looking into my eyes as if he really cares about my opinion, "Sounds like YOU want to be my Luna?"And get imprison
Dahlia's POV "You want a transfer? I never knew you were interested in the Alpha's title, Lola." Alpha Damon frowns, apparently shocked at the fact that his No.1 fan suddenly wants to leave his side. When an Alpha's land grows too big, they divide part of their land to their betas for closer control. Sometimes they would grant those lands to a beta to be a new pack, if the beta's performance at the land really stands out. "I'm not, Alpha. You have my forever loyalty," Lola shook her head with a sorrowful smile, "I just feel like you don't need me by your side anymore, and I thought maintaining this piece of land is more valuable to you than me being your little tail." Little tail my ass! I would have believed her if she didn't bash her eyelashes at him saying these words. If only she had a tail it would be wagging crazily right now! I knew they had a thing! "Nonsense. You are of great value to me." Alpha Damon sounds displeased and then I realized Lola's plan-- She lost the Alph
