Kari stood and stared in shock. What kind of choice was that? Death or an entire lifetime of servitude. He would take his own life before he allowed himself to be sold to a brothel but the other choice removed his freedom- the one thing he truly valued, and tied his very soul to this unknown man.
Both choices were incomprehensible to Kari.
“W-what? You can’t be serious!”
The alpha merely raised an eyebrow and swirled the glass of liquid in his hand. “You should be more thankful, omega. It is rare for a slave to receive a choice. I could just as easily take that choice from you and claim you as mine whether you like it or not.”
“Why don’t you?” Kari stood with his arms still wrapped around his frame but stared up at the large man with all the defiance he could muster.
Anything to focus his attention away
The sheer magnetic force of the alpha when he stood so close was insane. His heart raced in his chest and his thoughts had scattered completely. No wonder alphas were so dangerous to omegas. He flushed in shame when he noticed the man’s eyes flick down and Karirealizedthat he was still naked. He could feel the slick just starting to drip out from between his cheeks and his little cock attempted to stand straight.What kind of reaction is that? The atmosphere around the man screamed danger, yet he was getting turned on by it? He was mortified by his body’s reaction.“How cute. What is your name, little omega?”“KariGeneina.”“Kari…” The way the man spoke his name was dark and seductive, it sounded as though he was tasting it on his tongue. “You may keep Karithen.”“Keep?!
Pleasure slave. He knew that’s what he had been sold as, well, given away, so sharing the bed made sense except for the fact that the man had said he wasn’t going to touch him unless he chose him willingly. So until then, shouldn’t he be more wary of him? Ryedirknew he was a Daiyan, so why was he not more suspicious of him? He had no idea what he was capable of. For all he knew, Karicould shank him in his sleep. Karireached out for his power and felt a pang of disappointment when he still felt nothing. He glanced at his tattoo and observed the silvery white hexagonal prism with six thin arms that form a star-like shape. He took a deep bracing breath in and slowly let it out. It was there, he reminded himself, he still had the marking of a Daiyan. He needed time to heal, that was all. He set the towel down on the floor and padded out of the room. Ryedirsa
Karigroggily registered muted voices but was still too deep in the clutches of sleep to understand what was being said. Sleep had taken a long time to come last night, and he was unsure how long he had lain awake with his thoughts swirling around in his head. It made whatever time it was feel extremely early, though. A hand gently shook his shoulder and he grumbled, curling into himself to escape the prospect of getting up. It was unfortunately persistent. The voices were more distinct now but Kari’s foggy mind still couldn’t decipher the speech. After a few more unsuccessful tries, the hands gave up on shaking him and pulled him, albeit gently, sheets and all, to the edge of the bed. He was manhandled out of bed and into a standing position. He swayed drunkenly on his feet in his sleepy state, far too out of it to be bothered about his lack of modesty as the bedding was removed. He vaguely reg
The man’s lips thinned. “Once you are recovered, you may accompany Nevison his errands outside of the manor unless you prove yourself to be untrustworthy. I doubt I need to remind you but any attempts at escape will be futile and only result in the restriction of your activities as well as just punishment. Prince Lezzkeris fair. Treat him with due respect and he will return it. I do not know of the circumstances around anAithyeanbecoming a slave however I would suggest you accept it and follow the boundaries set. Prove yourself trustworthy to His Highness and you will be allowed a great deal of freedom. Now, I suggest you get dressed.” Karichewed his lip in thought. He didn’t want this but he was relieved that they would not be watching over his shoulder every waking moment. He could play the game for now. Learn about the culture, learn how everything worked here, and bid his time. He might not have much time but he
He glanced further down and viewed his Daiyantattoo up close. It shone metallically in the light, a beautiful silvery colour that almost seemed as though silver itself was etched into his skin. It was more intricate in the daylight. The tattoo covers his wrist. A big snowflake at the center and individual little snowflakes with gorgeous patterns glittered around it acrosshis skin and seemed to dance in the light. It made it appear as though a blizzard raged across his wrist. He stared in stunned silence until he caught Nevis’s curious look over his shoulder and jolted. “I-I’ve never seen it so clearly before,” he mumbled, embarrassed at being caught staring at himself. “We don’t have vast sunlightat home and seeing itina dimlightreally doesn’t do it justice. I wear long sleeves and thus, never seen it that much. I was taught not to draw attention to it so I don’t really look at it.”
Karistayed flopped on the bed while Neviswalked around the room and threw open the thick curtains. “You should come here and check this out. You haven't seen the view yet.” The omega looked up and saw the other slave standing in front of large windows. He beckoned him forward and Karihauled himself off the bed before dragging his feet across the carpet towards Nevis. He realizedwith a start they weren’t actually windows, but doors inlaid with large glass panels that led out onto a balcony. The beta carefully opened the door and Karistepped out into soft afternoon sunlight. He gasped at the sight in front of him and ran to the railing to stare in wonder. He could see the yard below with people training and the stone wall surrounding the manor. But it was the city sprawling beyond that took his breath away. The afternoon light cast the city in a warm
The two slaves had finally finished cleaning one of the private entertaining rooms located off the bedroom and were heading down to the kitchen.Kariwalked a little behind Nevis, who chattered away and pointed out different things. Kariwas wary about the other people here and especially his outfitand collar. He had quickly discovered while cleaning that bending over was a terrible idea and to kneel instead.What the hell was the point of wearing something so fitting? He was feeling a little mollified about the whole thing once he realizedNeviswasn’t lying about no one else caring.They passed many people in the hallways and stairwells as they made their way down into the kitchens in the belly of the manor. And while they all looked at Kari, their gazes were filled with curiosity and lingered on his face, hairand especially his tattoo.Not a sing
That voice caused an embarrassing reaction in him when he said his name like that-like he was somehow caressing him with his words alone. He took a deep fortifying breath before jerking his gaze up to meet amused golden eyes. Curse the man, he knew exactly what he was doing to the little omega. The alpha patted his lap and Kariblanched. He expected him to what? Sit like some pretty little doll at his lap while his so-called master worked? He caught Troisglaring at himand nudging his headfrom beside the desk and swallowed his pride. He wanted to argue, scream that he would not bow down but that would just make him seem more like a child in the scowling beta’s eyes. He had decided to play the game for now, right? Gritting his teeth, Kariwalked forward, feetthumping petulantly against the soft carpet. He slowly sat on Ryedir's lap and fought down the urge to tur
