Left alone in the bathing courtyard, Elora kept looking up thinking about a werewolf taking a peep on her. Feeling uncomfortable, she quickly dried herself, stood naked before her locker, and slowly took the dirty cloth she pulled off, remembering how beautiful the wedding gown was when she wore it.She sighed and trashed it before wearing the panties provided and the gown that seemed free on her." Thank goodness it's not tight", she mumbled feeling glad that her breast wouldn't be pointing out of the cloth.She closed the locker and went outside to see Isha still waiting for her. Without saying anything to each other, she walked away, and Elora followed to get their food, a grilled part of chicken." You need to comb your hair, I have a comb but that will be later, finish your food on time so you can go and do your duty", Isha said eating," What are my duties?"," You'll know when you get to the mansion"," That mansion?" she exclaimed, pointing at the huge black building. Her hear
Elora turned sharply on hearing the voice, her heart beating so fast as she stood up, fondling her fingers behind her." Are you the new slave in charge of taking care of this room?", he asked," Yes my lord", she said with a bow," Were you told the rules?"," What rules?"," Must always come to clean as early as possible, the boss is obsessed with cleanliness, so let there not be a tiny stain anywhere, the bed must be extremely well laid, the doormat must not have any dust or stain on it, the closet must be tidied and sparkling with the clothes well folded, the accessories cleaned regularly and the shoes must always be well polished, you must always be available around here for errands...".Elora felt her ears bleeding with a lot of instructions of 'must' duties. " Failure to do any of this is ten strikes of claws"," Eh", with her eyes widened, she exclaimed, "Ten strikes of claws"," Three failures to do your work right will lead to demotion. I am Magnus".' yeah... Nice meeting
"He indeed represents the saying that the devil is the most attractive, "Elora mumbled to herself as she refused to fall into the trance like every other she-wolf in the party. She rolled her eyes off, her fist clenching against the tray while she tried not to make her lower lips bleed as she bit it." Today's going to be so awkward, I've seen her ..."," There's nothing awkward about today, there's nothing to be awkward about ", Elora cut Naya short, " the room is just filled with savages with no heart, wolves from different packs who shed rivers of blood for power, hierarchy and to satisfy their greeds"," And here we are, in the middle of them all. We're going to definitely draw some attention "," Hopefully it's coming from one of them", Elora mumbled venomously looking around the room vengefully, " so at least I wouldn't get the attention in vain"," What are you thinking about?".' I'm thinking about shedding more blood tonight, 'she said in her mind and walked into the midst
Every eye turned to Larsen as he stepped forward with a hand tucked into his pocket and the other hand holding the glass cup of wine carelessly." What do you mean? Are you siding with your useless slave now?".Larsen smirked, " I'm just surprised at how you, of all people, could utter the word 'shameless whore' Do you want us to talk about the recent actions of yours?".Everyone turned to them curiously, whispering to one another while also trying to remain silent to listen to what Larsen would say." What actions are you talking about?", Manly said with a frown. He's a well-known elite in every pack, one of the most wealthy tycoons in all low four-ranked clans." Really? You want to talk about what you did with your secretary and your wife's sister?".Everyone gasped, and loud murmurs followed as his wife shot him a questioning glare." Wh..what are you talking about?!", he yelled," I'm talking about how you sold your secretary to slavery to appease your wife. Would you sell her si
Back in the plain short gown, Elora strolled towards the food arena to get her food along with other slaves in her division. " How was the outing yesterday?" Isha asked, suddenly appearing beside her.Wearily, she replied, "Not an outing, and it wasn't great".Isha smiled, " first werewolf to ever say that"," Why? Others said they had fun?"," They seem excited to have met with some elites and probably have sex with some"," Good for them, what I crave for right now is food and some more sleep"," It shows clearly in your eyes", Isha said smiling as they both entered the arena and got their potion of food.They both proceeded to a bench to sit and eat when one of the slaves pretended to bump into Elora, causing her to drop her food. She glared up to see who it was." You again?", she fiercely stared in surprise at the green-haired slave," Ops", she placed her palm against her mouth before laughing," You think this is funny?", Elora asked angrily," Nope, but you know what I think
" ugh!!!!! That monster!" Elora groaned loudly as she collapsed on the tile, " I know this is a scheme", she gritted her teeth." This wouldn't have happened if you had learned to keep your mouth shut and not always get us in trouble"," Stop talking, and there's no us", she fumed, rolling her eyes up.She sat on the tile of the room exhaustedly; this was the 9th time Magnus had entered the room and told her to start cleaning all over again; her body aches, and her blood boils." I seriously would have just sit down here without doing anything again"," You know you can't, Magnus can come in at any time to check if you're doing it"," But seriously?! Why is he so petty, the room is clean enough but he's just looking for that way to make my life miserable, I'm in hell already, can he not just leave me be?", her shoulder dropped tiredly," I'm sure he wouldn't be doing this if you've learned to be respectful and obedient"," Not to that monster, you think he cares about me being loyal o
Elia looked at him intensely with his eyes sparkling with curiosity." Why would she be after your life? Are you probably part of the reason she's now a slave?"," I don't know"," You don't know?".Mathew sat upright, "Okay, here's the issue, I and my friends did something that might be the reason for her actions, or part of the reason cause she killed one of us, or it might just be a coincidence because....ahh", he exhaled roughening his hair, " it's complicated".Elia could see him looking so confused and baffled, he let out a nonchalant air through his mouth and said, " I don't wanna ask what you and your friends did, but I can make sure you don't cross pact with her throughout your stay here"," I'll appreciate it if you lock her up somewhere"," That's a small issue".Elora blood boils as she heard them speak, she thought of what to do when she heard a footstep approaching; she turned to see a slave walking towards the room with a tray in her hand. She quickly adjusted herself a
" The pack is under attack,"" Under attack? Which pack dares?" Larsen asked immediately getting alarmed," We don't know yet but they started attacking the households the moment they got into the clan,"" How dare they! Get the troops ready with the guns, make sure the attack did not get into the city, and get the slaves safely into their cells," he instructed with urgency before turning to his table to grab his guns." As you command, my lord," Magnus bowed before dashing out of the room to meet the guards, passing the command to them, which was immediately taken into action. The guards rang the danger bell, urgently pushing the slaves towards their building while some started running out of the mansion in fright, one of them nearly fell while running in fear, pouring the drinking water she was carrying over the stairs.Elora stood there watching in confusion, watching Larsen dip in a gun at the back of the tucked-in pants before getting the second gun ready for a persistent shootin
His eyes bore into hers; he couldn't resist the smile when he saw her blush. The almighty feisty princess blush, he'd do thousands more to see more of that.His heart skipped so hard, he couldn't tear his eyes off her; she's like a sunset he found himself watching. His smile slowly changed, his eyes searching hers for answers.Answers to what she's doing to him, answers to why he's feeling this way, it hit him slowly with warmth in his chest, and it's stirring up something bad, something he's not ready to admit.The sudden play of cool, slow music breaks the air. Elora heaved a sigh as she was finally able to look away." Are we going to stand here like this all night?" she asked, not taking the risk to look at him again." Is that you stylishly inviting me to a dance?"" Of course not," she objected immediately, but it was too late. His hand grabbed hers and pulled her to the dance floor." What are you doing? I can't dance, I'm not ready to...,"" Shhh, don't lie with your pretty li
Larsen sighed inwardly with his mood getting exhausted as another influential woman approached him. He had too many humans to exchange pleasantries with, men that are appreciating his presence at the ball, and the women who are trying to have an audience with him.His charisma not only charms the ladies, but his handsomeness and features causes them to drool and turn in every direction he moves. He has lots of attention, and it's taking some effort for the men to get their women's eyes off him." The human females are no different from the she-wolves," he mumbled to himself." Drink, sir?" a waiter asked, smiling sweetly at him.Without replying, he took a cup of cocktail off the tray she was carrying and took a sip.She couldn't tear her eyes off him; his well-tailored suit only screamed of wealth, it did no justice to his handsomeness, but it did grace his features. His broad shoulders that make feminine fingers ache, his face that looks like an art specially crafted by the creator
" Shhh, I don't want to wake her up," Magnus said, eyeing the treasure she's carrying." Sorry, sir," she said and lowered her head with her heart aching as she bit her inner lips. She felt betrayed, her fist clenched as her eyes slowly brimmed with tears.' he? And my friend? Vicky did this? She was acting like he was her enemy, but here she is, secretly hanging out with him,' she said angrily and bitterly in her mind." Drop the treasure," Magnus instructed, feeling relieved about the open door. His mind immediately went into agitation.' I have to get in touch with Larsen,' he said with urgency in his mind." Can I trust you? Isha?" he asked.'Oh, now he's asking if he could trust me with their secret,' she felt anger brewing in her chest." Yes, my lord."" I need you to carry out an errand for me, as discreetly as possible."" Huh?"" Without being noticed, especially by Elia,"'Oh yes! That's true, he was sneaking up on him earlier today. Oh, could he be? he was hiding here from
He smelled it the moment she rubbed her neck.Heat.Not just any heat. Hers.Her scent got stronger, sharper, sweeter, and maddening. It hung in the air like a cloud of smoke, wrapping around his senses and nearly causing him to growl.He got on his knees when she started feeling restless. How will he tell her she's going into heat, she doesn't love him, will she accept it?When she started rubbing her body and twisting her legs together, she gave him pleading eyes that he couldn't refrain from telling her what was going on." Huh? Heat? Right now?" her eyes were bugging out of the socket.She'd heard so much about mates going into heat, but she didn't know it would be like this, and neither was she expecting this way." Toria," he called sweetly feeling his heart pounding so hard. She was going to be in pain, an intense one if he didn't do something, but he didn't want to force her; he wanted her to want him, just as he wanted her, right from the moment he set eyes on her, right from
' hmm, it tastes..good.' Elora couldn't help but taste it. It tasted like smooth iron, yet, strangely delicious like a red fine wine.Her lips tightened against his palm as she sucked in his blood slowly like a princess taking her time to enjoy her meal.Larsen tilted his head, forcing back a grunt; this was unlike the first time he gave her his blood. His heart was racing; her strong, beautiful scent was halting his senses and sending his wolf into an endless howl of want. Her soft butt against his thigh makes him want to grab every part of her soft body, feel her skin against his palm.He bit his lower lip so hard as he brought back his head and looked at her pink lips against his palm.Those lips. Those tempting lips. He wants to taste them and knows what they'd feel like with his tongue.Unable to hold back anymore, he buried his face in the crook of her neck, sniffed her, and inhaled her intoxicating scent.He does it again; the way he sniffs her makes her breath hitch; he's doi
After the perilous yell, the kicks and punches stop. " Alpha," Amie called; her heart skipped as she hadn't planned for Larsen to catch her in the act, but her anger and hatred for Elora wouldn't make her stop." Are you out of your goddamn mind?!" he thundered and pushed her roughly away from Elora, surprising everyone present.If not for the assistance of the attendants who quickly caught her, she would've fallen hard on her butt.Larsen's wolf growled in rage as it looked at Amie, feeling so much anger that it wanted to tear her apart and everyone who had laid hands on her." Hey! Hey," Elora heard his baritone voice call as his hand pulled her up gently from the floor.Larsen's blood boils looking at her body full of bruises; her hair was so messy and covering her face. He worriedly brushed the hair off her face with his fingers, and his heart sank, looking at her face full of cuts and bruises.He gritted his teeth and glared at Amie." What the fuck do you think you were doing?"
Austin watched her stride towards him in the sitting room, dressed in a blue short and black singlet with her hair packed in a ponytail shape, looking all normal with no hint of madness, which amazed Austin even more.' damn, clothes indeed hide lots of things, my moony,' he exclaimed in his mind.Elora nodded slightly as she stood in front of him not knowing what to say or do." Do you need anything?" he asked," No, no," she waved quickly.~ what do you mean by no? We're starving ~ Naya shouted in her head." A moon goddess like you sure knows how to yell and shout and scream," she whispered to herself knowing Naya would hear her." What do you say?" Austin asked not hearing a thing except 'moon goddess '" No, nothing,"" Would you like anything? To eat?"" No, I'm fine currently,"~ are you kidding me? We're not in a fasting period ~" You sure?" " Okay," Elora gave in, seems like both Naya and Austin were determined to frustrate her soul till she took in something, " please some
No matter which side she turns to, the sun that scorches through the room seems determined to heat her awake. Elora groaned as she grabbed the duvet and dragged it above her head but she wasn't feeling comfortable enough to sleep back that way." fine..you succeed," she groaned against the pillow and pushed the duvet down." Ahh! Holy moon shit!" she yelled as she jumped up in fright when she opened her eyes to see ..Austin?" What are you doing here?" she yelled at him as she quickly wrapped herself up with the duvet, eyeing him from head to toe with her face contoured with deep frown.Her startled chest was pounding so hard against her ear." Good morning Miss Elora, pardon my manners, I didn't mean to startle you,"" May I know your reason for being here?"" My lord, the Alpha, instructed me to watch over you,"" Watch over me or spy on me?" her frown deepened.' did he think I was going to try to escape after what he did last night? He shouldn't worry, I've already made up my mind
" I'm not going to scream, but what the heck!" she said, almost whispering, some of the words nearly inaudible.Magnus heaved a sigh of relief still laying on her. He has never been this relief in his entire life." What are you doing? I know you want me to accept you but do you think following me around and trying to do what? Will make me accept you?."Magnus furrowed his brow in confusion, wondering why she was so scared and nervous. Vicky's heart was pounding so hard against her chest and with her mate laying on top of her, she could feel heat building from her fluttering stomach.His masculine scent was too close this time, driving her head in an unknown direction; her palm got sweaty, and the temptation to touch his muscles feeling against her shoulder.She swallowed hard while she tried to avoid gazing into his eyes so as not to lose her resolve. Her craving for that one person to love and care for her, her desire for a companion and a partner, gradually getting rekindled.No Vi
