Unknown pov.
"Please boss, it won't happen again." I shook vigorously while on my knees as sweat trailed down my forehead."You were expected to have transported the goods. What went wrong?" His eyes were on his gun and the next moment his eyes and gun were fixed on me."I_i." Words didn't seem to be forming well for me as I gazed at him with pleading eyes."Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow up your head right now!" His calm voice had a tone of seriousness in it."I am loyal to you." I gulped, hoping my words would ease him a bit, thankfully it did."Fine! I will give you till tonight, otherwise…" he placed his hand close to his neck and made a death sign."I want to get some good news." He said before getting up from the chair of his hideout which was located far away from the mansion. He would have normally sent some guys to deal with the issue but it involved his most loyal transporter.Hunter's PovI caught her as she fell, her yellow eyes being unable to stay open. She was beautiful and from the way she looked, she was a young lady, probably in her late teens.I kept my usual dark expression on as I made way to my room with my newly chosen slave in my arms. I didn't have time for women but Xander had somehow convinced dad that I needed one to satisfy the desires I wasn't sure I felt.On getting to my room, I dropped her on the bed, chaining her in place to make sure she didn't escape.There's something about you, something I can't quite figure out." I thought to myself as I watched her lay innocently on my bed.The buzzing of my phone however, caused my attention to drift to the matter at hand. I had earlier received a call from my client who told me he hadn't gotten his goods from one of my loyal men.My eyes scanned through the message I had received and a smirk plastered on my lips right away."We have him where you want him boss." The message informed me, and I didn't waste any time, I had a plan to deal with that rascal.On my arrival, I found him trembling in fear. I didn't bother to ask him what caused the delay. All I wanted to do was blow his head off but because of how loyal he had been all these years, I decided to let him live. I handed the necessary instructions to my men before walking out.I wasted no time on the fool as my ride home arrived, guards all clothed in suits protected me till I got into the car. Unlike my dad, I had a more civilised empire.Getting home was something I didn't always look forward to and just like I suspected, My elder brother, Xander, waited for me at the entrance of the mansion's hallways."I heard you picked a slave and killed one of your men just because he hit her when she was clearly being stubborn." He had a scornful expression plastered on his face."The fool deserved it, he shouldn't hit women that way but a person like you wouldn't understand it. Men like you consider women as toys!" I walked passed him but stopped in my tracks when I heard his words."She's just a slave! You'll probably fuck her then she'll become useless to you." My back was facing him and I still hadn't moved as I listened to his every word."Are you done? Because the only thing I have to say to you is that I am not like you and would never be like you!" I replied to him. This time, moving to my room with the intention of not being stopped until I stood before the door of my room.I gazed at the brown coloured door for a while, taking a sigh of relief before placing the key into the keyhole. In one turn, the door opened instantly and when I entered the room, I found her trying to hide herself which she knew was clearly impossible.She showed so much fear and I was worried that if I went anywhere near her, she might pass out again."What's your name?" I asked her, pretending not to notice her presence as I walked to the other side of the room."Ie-sha." She answered, her voice cracked slightly and I wondered if she had been crying."Iesha." I murmured softly, liking the feel of her name on my lips, however I concentrated on what I was doing so that she could at least feel comfortable.I took a seat before opening the bronze safe that was in front of me. The safe had a syringe containing a yellow liquid in it and the moment I brought it out, I heard her gasp from the other side of the room which made me turn to her only to find her struggling with the chain I had bound her with."Was she trying to escape?" My left brow was raised but I chose to give a blind eye to her tantrums. I studied the yellow liquid for a while when her soft voice echoed through the room walls."Is that a punishment for me?" Her scared eyes gazed at me for answers."No!""I'm sorry master." Her tone was mixed with fear and she had started sobbing again."I'll send the servants to take care of you." I returned the syringe back to the safe before leaving the room.Dad had decided to hold a family dinner today, hoping to restore a relationship I had never had with Xander. He didn't want his children to be divided yet Xander was the only problem.The table was nearly complete and only Mikael, his mate Lilith and I remained to fill up the space."Here comes my young heir." Dad teased with a smirk on his face upon my arrival."I heard from Xander what you did today but don't you think that was too far? You killed your loyal follower for a slave!" Father banged his hand angrily at the table.It was like he had been nursing the anger beneath his smirk."He hurt her dad, he deserved what he got." I said in-between grinned teeth."You see father? Soon he'll be able to kill us for that slave!" Xander yelled, his eyes gazing at me with jealousy and hatred."Enough Xander, if you have a problem with the way I handle situations you should shut up because dad made me heir!""Whoa, too much tension, calm down guys." Mikael walked side by side with Lilith. He wore a smile on his face as he helped his wife take her seat before sitting on his."Did I hear right, did you really kill someone for a slave?" His tone was that of surprise and I could see he had keen interest in the matter.I sighed before turning to Mikael. "If someone were to hit Lilith won't you react, fight for her or...""Lilith is his mate! There's a big difference." Xander interrupted with a raised tone."I wasn't talking to you!" I pulled out my gun, pointing it at Xander whose seat was facing me."Enough!" Father shouted, making everyone's attention to focus on him. "I called for a peaceful dinner but look what it's turning into, a family debate!" He sighed with his head lowered and that was when I took the opportunity to stand up, putting my gun away so father won't be offended."Where are you going?" His lowered head was ready raised and I could see disapproval in his expression."If Xander is going to keep on talking shit to me then I'm not hungry anymore." I was about to take a step when dad's gun pointed to the back of my head."Sit." He stated. I knew his hand was on the trigger but I never felt any fear."You should know dad that I no longer fear death." With that, I made my way to my ro
Hunter's PovIt was only a short period of time before she fell asleep. I could see how uncomfortable she was from how stiff her body was to how her eyebrows kept furrowing.I focused on her facial features to distract myself from the blood vessel in her neck calling to my fangs. I was so close to her, I could hear her heartbeat, my fangs were itching to claim her at once!It took a while but I was able to forcefully pull myself away from her. I took a glass of blood wine and immediately left the room. My blood thirst had been rising ever since she got here and for the first time I felt aroused by a woman. I had earlier taken a suppression drug, something I had for urgent situations, but somehow, the thought of us together in sync kept me turned on."You little she devil." The frown on my face had begun to turn into a smirk, it was like only thoughts of her had the ability to change my mood in seconds."There's definitely something about you I would love to find out." I made my way t
Leaving my worries behind for a little while, I decided to focus on my meal. I tried to eat but the thought of what happened earlier seized my appetite so I couldn't eat to my fill. I was lost in thought when the young servant who took care of me entered.She arranged the tray and as she prepared to leave, she made a statement which I wanted to know more about."You're lucky." "What do you mean?" I carefully held her hand to avoid any mishaps because of the tray she was holding.She moved closer to me, taking a seat beside me on the bed."Sir Xander spares no one. You were lucky Sir Hunter was here to help you just in time. You would have ended up like some of those girls who went into his torture room and never came back the same way." "Torture room?" My eyes widened, I have heard about some of those in the slave house. It was where the stubborn ones were punished."Yes Torture room." She replied, moving closer to me as her eyes looked around."You can't often hear the screams and
Chapter6I tried to hide my curves with my arms because I felt so uncomfortable. "Do I have to wear this? Of course I have to, its what the master wants." I answered the question I asked myself.He cleared his throat to gain my attention, his eyes still examining me."Let's go." He said casually and for the first time I felt a sting of pain not being complemented. I turned to Belle and waved at her before moving behind my master.He moved swiftly and being unable to cope due to the shoes I was wearing, I called his attention."Master." I called out softly, I was panting heavily and my hands were signifying for him to stop."What is it?" His red eyes gazed at me from my head to my feet."My feet, it…" I was about to say 'hurts' when he carried me in bridal style, earning a gasp from me.I felt a tingling sensation when our body made contact, his hard chest brush against my arms but what I couldn't understand was the smirk on his lips.When we got to the car, he placed me gently on the
Chapter7Iesha's Pov''go in and wait for me." Master spoke before picking up his call. I was scared, he was asking me to go into a classy boutique while he sat in the car."What if he leaves me." I thought, however, I couldn't disobey his order.Immediately I got down from the car, he pulled the door to lock it and his driver drove off."Master." I murmured with my hand outstretched like I was trying to catch the car."Go in and wait for me." His words rang in my ears again and I was forced to move into the huge boutique. I was only a few inches into the boutique when the doors automatically opened."Wow!" I uttered out of surprise but quickly composed myself as i finally entered."Ma'am can we help you?"she had a mean look on her face, her hands were crossed and her mouth pouted."My master asked me to stay here." I replied shyly."So you're a slave?" Her left brow was raised as she took a look at me."Your master must be stupid to…" "And you must be out of your mind!" The familiar
CHAPTER8Hunter's PovI paced around the room in anticipation, it had been so long since I stormed out of the mansion and when I returned, she wasn't in the same spot where I left her and neither was the battered girl.I hurried to my room which I shared with her but she wasn't there yet. "Could Xander have picked her up?" The thought of it made me clench my fist, causing my palms to bleed.As I stepped out of the room, I bumped into her. She felt uneasy and her eyes looked swollen and her hair messy."I'll prepare a bath for you." I said to her going to the bathroom when she held my arm."I'll do it myself." Her voice was hoarse and her hands shaky."Stop." I spoke softly on her way to the bathroom. She was terrified and there was evidence in her posture."I'm not like him, I won't hurt you.""I know that."She hesitated for a bit before going to the bathroom. After her bath, she put on a free white gown as she got comfortable on the floor."Why?" His gentle voice made me turn to hi
Chapter9Xander's Pov "I don't like the way he treats that slave." I spoke angrily."Let it go brother, you don't have to be worried." Mikael tried to calm me down."Your brother is right Mikael, that slave is causing so much division in this family." Father gulped down his glass of wine after speaking.All the while, Lilith ate quietly at the table, she neither spoke nor raised her head. She was a servant whom Mikael fell in love with. "Congratulations to you Lilith." "Thank you." She replied, her eyes not daring to look at me. She knew her place and even if she had been marked by Mikael, she had always remained a servant to me."So how's the farm doing?" I heard our father ask Mikael. He had specialised in the farming of substances used to make the hard drugs that Hunter transported."Going well father, we seem to be gathering more bags daily than ever.""That's good. I'm glad all my sons are doing well.""Congratulations Lilith." Father turned to her with a creepy smile."Thank
Chapter10Iesha's povEverything happened too fast. "Did he call me sweetheart?" I thought with a hint of excitement. He had been gone for a while but those words kept me alive and happy. Suddenly he barged in, his red eyes scanning the room as he paced round."Master?" "Shh." I kept quiet for a while but when I noticed how uneasy he was and how he gritted his teeth, I approached him slowly."Master?" My puppy eyes were in view as I held his arm, however, he jerked his hand away from mine in such a way that I fell butthard."Go lay on the bed now!" My heart sank hearing those words and I flinched. I feared he was going to harm me even if my heart didn't believe it.I was slowly getting attracted to him, slowly longing for his touch and his lips. He was a very attractive man but I wasn't ready for this kind of encounter."I'm sorry master.""Bed now!" His tone was hurting me badly. I slowly got up and was approaching the bed when I felt his hand clinging tightly to my wrist."Master
