It was past six and Arya, warmed by a bowl of hot soup, went out. The street was still busy with people going back home. Arya liked watching people, sometimes on Sundays when they had a free time almost all day long she was sitting on a bench and watching people, imagining the stories they carry with them. A busy office worker is hurrying back home to his wife and son. A young Alpha thinking about his first crush. An older Beta with a gentle smile looking at the children playing in the park, maybe thinking about her own grandchildren. Today however Arya was in a rush, it was cold and she had only that dress on. She was going to visit Cora. She always visited her on Wednesdays.

Cora lived in a basement flat where through the window you could see people’s legs walking on the street. The flat Cora was renting was small and had this weird smell of something wet and stuffy. There were few things there like a bed, table and two chairs. There also was a kitchenette to make a simple dish or boil some water. The most interesting was Cora’s wardrobe, it was large and full of clothes she used to wear. Each dress was a different story. There was a white ball gown from when Cora accompanied a rich Alpha on a New Year’s Eve and everybody thought that they were a couple. The pale pink was from the time Cora was introduced as a fresh untouched escort and got a really high price for the first night. The dress, which looked like a night sky full of stars, was a gift from a Beta lover. Arya knew all the stories, she grew up with them. She met Cora by accident. Arya was having a hard time. She was on the street and was really hungry. Cora shared some bread with her and took her to her home. Ever since Arya has visited her, they shared what they had. Arya learned how to survive on the street thanks to Cora and Phil who was kind of her partner.

A colder wind blew harder and her thin dress wasn’t giving her much warmth. Arya wrapped her arms in vain attempt to hold it back. People passing her by didn’t pay her much attention, they stepped aside or moved past her just like they did with the horses’ shit on the ground. Arya was moving swiftly with her eyes low. The entrance to Cora’s apartment was in a narrow street, there was no ribbon on the door handle so it meant that Arya could step in. Whenever Cora had a client she put a red ribbon on the door handle. The door squeaked and Arya stepped in, she could smell the vinegar. She knew that Cora used it along with water as disinfection after having sex with her clients, the smell  of fresh vinegar told Arya that the client has just left.

Who is it?” Arya heard Cora from behind a curtain hanging in the corner of the room.

It’s me Arya.”

Cora was quiet for a moment than she said.

Go home Arya, I don't have time for you today.”

Are you having another client?” Arya asked knowing that Cora wasn’t that popular anymore.

Just go Arya.”

Something in Cora’s voice made Aria stand up and move to the door, she opened it and closed back again without leaving Cora’s room. Few second’s later the curtain moved and Cora stepped out. Cora was an over forty years old Omega, she had long wavy hair with blue eyes. She was well built with full breasts and curved hips and she used to have porcelain skin. One of her lovers got jealous and cut her face, that happened over ten years ago. From one day to another she has lost her popularity, she was a broken doll. She moved from a fine apartment to a lower standard flat and then here to cut the costs. She had two, sometimes three clients a week if she was lucky. Today her face, neck and arms were covered in bruises. Her lip was torn and bleeding, she could barely open her left eye. Arya knew what kind of clients were coming to her now, it wasn’t the first time but it has never been that bad. Arya didn’t make a comment about Cora’s look.

Lay down, I’ll boil some water and apply the ointment.”

There is no ointment left.” Cora sat on the bed.

After a few seconds of thinking Arya stood up.

I will go to the pharmacy.”

Don’t.” Cora grabbed her hand. ‘It’s not worth it.”

Arya easily freed herself from the loose grip.

You are worth it. I’ll be back soon.” Arya left and ran as fast as she could, the pharmacy wasn’t far away and Arya wanted to keep her mind occupied with the exertion not with anything else. A carriage passed her by and Arya almost fell on the pavement.

She noticed a man with dark eyes looking at her inside the carriage. She had to pull herself together, she can’t be distracted, for Cora.

The pharmacy stood on a fancy street, Arya knew she wasn’t allowed to enter through the main door, she went to the back ones used by suppliers and staff. She knocked and a fine dressed woman opened it. The look of disgust pictured in the woman’s eyes didn’t bother her anymore.

Is Mr Kane here?” Arya asked humbly.

He’s busy, wait.”

Of course, she knew the drill.

    “A question?” Silas crossed his arms. His stern look reminded Arya about their first meeting. Yet she was no longer a slave, now she was his wife and she was with a child. What is more she wasn’t the one who did something wrong, she wasn’t hiding anything. She suddenly felt she had an upper hand in the following discussion. “Yes my dear husband.” Arya sat down on Silas’ chair. ”Have you ordered your men to demolish my workshop?” There was a short flash in his eyes. He was shocked but not surprised. Arya suddenly deep inside already knew the answer. “Who told you such nonsense? Was that the Omega you met today?” He stepped inside the study and closed the door behind him. “Have you ordered it? Yes or no?” Arya asked again. “Will you believe me when I answer you? You seem to already know the answer.” He was standing in the middle of the room with his hands in his pockets. True Master of this place. “I need the truth Silas. Be it un ugly truth but still the truth.” Arya decided not

    For a brief moment Arya didn’t know how to react to such a question. “Why are you asking me such a question?” She finally decided to ask back.Mehan was fidgeting with her fingers looking down on the table before she looked Arya in the eyes.“I ‘m not sure whether I should tell you this or not. I owe your husband my freedom, but I think I owe you even more. I owe you my life so I think you should know that.”The serious expression of Megan made Arya feel uneasy. Her stomach suddenly tightened, the first indication of stress.“What do you mean Megan?” “ The man that brought you the documents before we left, he works for your husband right?” “Yes.” Ary felt some cold tentacles crawling up her spine. “When I was working at the brothel I met him. He was into Carla, a Beta with curly brown hair. Once he brought three other men with him, they were celebrating something. All four of them were drinking and having fun talking about their business. From what they were talking I assumed they

  • How to tame a Master   Chapter 88 A good life?

    Winter was slowly coming to an end. Every day the sun was shining a little bit brighter and longer. Every morning Arya was watching her reflection in the mirror carefully. Her body was changing. The belly was slowly growing and each time Ary was touching it she felt that the child was a real thing. Inside her a new life was growing.“You look amazing.” Her husband sometimes was hugging her from behind while his hands were resting against her belly. Then he would usually place a kiss on her nape and advise her to rest, relax and eat. Yet Arya’s conviction was firm, she wanted to stay active. Her underwear brand was doing well. Two weeks ago some new designs were presented and immediately picked up interest. Right now she was selling not only in her husband’s shop but also in two other places. The income was good enough to maintain all the costs and earn her a nice sum every month. Of course it wasn’t near as much as Silas would earn, still Arya felt satisfied that she was also contrib

    Dancing and talking to all the guests finally wore Arya out. She needed a break and really looked forward to all of them leaving the mansion. The wedding however lasted till late at night. Arya managed to get back to her room and without taking off her dress threw herself on her bed. Her legs were hurting and all the tense feeling from the whole day finally left her. She was on the verge of falling asleep when the door opened. “Is my lovely wife trying to fall asleep in her own room on our wedding night?” Silas voice sobered her up. “No, I was just a bit tired.” Arya sat down on the bed.“Come with me, I want to show you something.” Silas took her hand and they walked out of her room. Arya followed him in the direction of the playroom. Fuck no. She wasn’t in a mood for something like that. Silas stopped in front of his bedroom. In one swift movement he took her in his arms and opened the door. “I always wanted to do that, carrying my wife inside our bedroom.” Arya’s heart started

  • How to tame a Master   Chapter 86 The Wedding

    Arya was taking a deep breath in and out. It was a moment of quiet for the first time this morning. She woke up early as usual and then a bunch of maids entered her private room. Arya was washed, some creamy mask was put on her face, her body was rubbed with a fragrant and relaxing oil. Next was her hair, it was dried and turned into curls and then pinned up and decorated with white flowers. Later was break time for Arya to eat something. After putting on some makeup Arya was dressed. The dress was magnificent, with sparkling lace, underlining her breast and waist, making her look princess-like. The maids even helped her put on earrings and a necklace of course. It all looked very expensive and Arya felt like some heroine out of a romance novel. After all that hustle and bustle she was finally left alone to rest for a bit before the ceremony would start. Arya came to the window, it was late autumn. Winter will soon paint the whole garden in white and grayish tones. Not even a year a

    “Hmm, so now you are telling me that it is up to you what will happen to the family business?” He placed the glass aside.“You have no shame, don’t you care about your brother and sister? Have you ever thought about what might happen to them?” He looked nervous. He must have hated the situation when a pitiful Omega is about to make a decision concerning his future.“You are mistaken sir, I have no family. I’m an orphan. If I had a loving father I surely wouldn't be abandoned in a hell like the Institution.” Arya clenched her fists, she was ready to pour it all out.“You see, a loving father wouldn’t allow other men to beat his daughter and humiliate her. A loving father would care if she is cold and has enough food to eat. A father wouldn’t turn his back at a child that had to beg for food on the street. A decent man wouldn’t allow other men to treat his daughter like a sex object that can be bought and later disposed of.” Arya knew she wasn’t able to keep her tears from rolling. Stil
