ROMEThe carriage slowed and came to a halt before a wide clearing that appeared just a little past the boundary between Alkarod and Hanaerum. Their guards dismounted their horses and took watchful positions. The guards were all dressed in black disguises in a material of far less quality than their official Royal uniforms. Not a trace of the Royal insignia was in sight and all distinctly Lycan army weapons were changed to more common weapons. For this night, Rome was a merchant at a slave auction party, and it had to remain that way until the raid.Rome alighted from the carriage and was about to give Elora a hand to get off the step when he remembered he was to be her slave master, not King or gentlemen. And she wasn't his mistress, but a slave to be used and disposed of if she displeased him.He stepped away from the carriage not bothering to look behind him and started off to the opening of the Grove where the cave descended to the underground auction house. He sensed her walking
ROMEThe crowd cheered even louder at the brutal display. The sight of blood and tortured slaves seemed to heighten their lust as some of the men pushed some of the naked female servers against the iron fence and fucked them right there. Some even went after the male slaves and Rome had to fight to control his anger at the blatant disregard for those innocent people’s rights.The slavers came in almost immediately and pulled out the dead slaves from the cage, sending in a new set of slaves in less than a minute. Bets were placed with the slavers in blue standing before the cage, one counting the money and the other handing out betting slips. Rome's jaw felt sore from how hard he’d been clenching his teeth all night. His hands clenched tight as he fought back the urge to strangle someone. How could all of this happening right under his nose?The red cloud of rage that had blurred his vision receded when a whiff of rose fragrance brushed his nose and a feather light caress brushed acr
Rome watched carefully as one of the clients who he noticed was Lycan forced one of the slaves to splay her legs wide as he penetrated her. The girl looked about the same age as Elora's sister. Rome risked a glance at Elora and found that she had tears streaming down her face. She must have been reliving one of her worst nightmares. He pulled her along, his grip on her arm soft enough not to hurt her but hard enough to fool the slavers into thinking she was his slave.A bell suddenly rang within the tent, causing everyone to pause. It seemed that within the private auction, there was an even more private auction taking place. That was the place they wanted to be. Perhaps they would identify the bastard running this foul show.Elora tugged on his arm, her eyes hard as she nudged him subtly towards the sound of the bell. Rome looked at her, realizing that even if she hated being here, she might really want to help these slaves become free."All those who would like to partake of the ex
ELORAAs the king's large hand enveloped my head, I realized that I wasn't fully prepared to play the role required of me. It wasn't a surprise to me that we slaves were to please our masters sexually but I hadn't thought about being in this situation with the king.His grip on my head was gentle as he bobbed my head, up and down, over his crotch. If I wasn't so worked out about our disguise blowing up, I may have enjoyed having his hands on me. He sped up the movement and my face burned. I was never going to get used to this; the auction house and the inhumane way they treated slaves. This went on for a while before Farrel interrupted with a cackle. "I can see you lot are having a great time, right!" He laughed some more.The king released me and I crawled back to kneel on the cushions provided.I felt the King’s eyes on me sending a fresh wave of embarrassment through me. I wondered if he also felt awkward about the whole thing. He would never want me that way even in a real situat
ROMETension was building up and Rome sensed it. He couldn't sell Elora but there was no way he could resist without calling attention to himself. He was sure that someone had recognized her, there wasn't any other explanation for Farrel's request.He stood directly in front of Elora blocking her from the slaver’s view. He knew she would be terrified and he didn't want Farrel sniffing that out.Farrel took a step forward, trying to stand on his toes so as to reach Rome's height, but he still wasn't close. His breath was breath warm on Rome's face and the smell of alcohol stung his nose."Lycan, this shouldn't end in a brawl. I warn you. Take the offer or you won’t be walking out of here at all." Farrel was far from his usual excited self. He was dead serious. Rome knew he needed to act fast now. There was nothing he could do to contain the situation since somebody had noticed them. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind just like he had been trained to do since childhood, searching
ALKARODA bone-shaking cough reverberated from one end of the infirmary to the other. It was a sound that Alpha Rasmus and his wife were rapidly getting used to. The cough most times left their son weaker than ever and had bits of spittle and blood spraying the sir. His situation had worsened as the days went past and by now, lesser people would have lost all hope of his recovery. But his parents had always been stubborn and that helped them now.Their only hope, Elora, was far out of their reach and the Elves who promised to help them had sent a message stating that their territory wasn't safe enough for Rasmus to visit. The Blackfoot’s were sniffing around them, ready to attack when the time was fit. The elves didn't trust the Blackfoot’s. "My boy..." The Alpha's wife whimpered as she cleaned the spittle off his lips. "Have the elves said anything new?" She was constantly asking her husband for updates."No. If they have, I would have told you." The Alpha was irritated by her cons
HANAERUM“Fuck!” Kain groaned, as his little toe bumped into the foot of his custom made leather couch.He stumbled backwards and knocked over one of his priceless clay vases, dropping his glass tumbler filled with Scotch on his expensive imported rug.Could this day get any worse? He wondered.He tried to recall a time when his life hadn’t consisted of drinking himself into a staggering mess but it was hard with the pain from his toe ringing through his brain. He vaguely remembered calling for a servant to clean up and pour him another cup of Scotch.His mind was in a constant spiral as the Elves, which he thought could help him, seemed to not think his problems important enough. He had been ordered not to make a move. "Bastard! May his penis be cut off and fed to pigs!" Another constant pastime of his, apart from the liquor, was the usual strings of curses he whirled at the king.The darned Lycan was the root of his problem, He and his werewolf slut. With his brothel shut, income
ELORAMy body tingled with suppressed excitement as I thought about everything the King and I had accomplished. I felt powerful, like I could do anything I wanted now. My position as the king's mistress had never felt so important before. Never in million moons would I have thought that I would help with freeing slaves.My mind wandered to the king, remembering how ungodly handsome he had looked that night as he fought of those werewolves. The feral way he had moved and the sight of our enemy’s blood on his skin had sent desire racing through me. It had felt like we had been partners in that moment and not just a King and his mistress.After the raid, he had been out of public eye. Even his warm presence beyond the walls of my chambers seemed absent. I couldn't help but wonder what he was up to. I certainly hoped he was resting and taking medications but knowing his personality, I doubted it. Although, he was unstoppable during the raid, I did notice various cuts on his hands. I wonde
