Chapter 7 : Mark of Ownership

"You are so adorable." He said with his husky voice. He reached my face. His hand touched my cheeks and lips. He bit his lower kissable lips.

And to my surprise he suddenly kissed me! on my lips! He wrapped me around his two arms and hugged me tightly. His head leaned on my left shoulder and whispered to my ears, " You are mine." 

"You are mine…you are mine..you are mine." He repeatedly said it with an echo in my ears. From soft to loud. It was like music in my ears that my eyes closed.

I opened my eyes when I heard a loud alarm from my phone that woke me up. I jump out from my bed to check if Rosh is around. To my relief, he is not here.

"What a weird dream. He said," You are mine." I can not believe I am dreaming about him. Is there something wrong with me? I know I was attracted by his looks but to dream about him? Hmmmm..

Maybe this is my trauma from the last incident." I touch my left shoulder where his mark is still visible.

Marie came to my room to inform me that Rosh and the twins are waiting for me at the training area.

When I came to the training ground Rosh approached me.

"You look pale. Did you not sleep well?" Rosh asked me with sincerity in his eyes.

"Yeah, I had problems with my sleep." I replied and touched my face.

"Did you sleep walk again?" Rosh asked me.

"No, I just had a nightmare." I replied and started to stretch my body.

"I see, you have to take some vitamins to improve your health as well. Today Jeremy, your instructor is not around so you will train with me. Don't worry I will not push your limits." Rosh said.

The twins came and hugged me as a greeting.

"Good morning Raia." Maya said.

"Good morning little ones." I greet them and hug them back.

"Raia, we already ran 5 laps before you came." Matt said it proudly.

"Wow, both of you are great. I wish I had stamina like yours." I replied with a smile.

"Matt, Maya, get back on your training!" Rosh reprimand the twins from slacking.

"We just greet Raia." Maya complains.

"Get back to your training now.. I will just be here." I said and patted their heads.

"He is so strict!" Matt complains also.

"Be a good girl and good boy." I said.

"Yes, Raia." the twins both replied.

Rosh stays by my side to assist me in my training. I can smell his morning scent. Gosh.. his scent is lingering in nose. I want to sniff his whole body!

He was gentle now instructing my moves. He is different now. I want to touch his muscles in his arms, his abs…

"Whoahh, why am I fantasizing about him with my eyes wide open! Something is really wrong with me!" My thoughts inside my head.

"Raia, are you okay?" Rosh asked me.

"Huh? What!?" I asked him.

"You look like your soul escaped from your body. You are dazed." Rosh replied.

I shake my head to come to my reality.

"I'm okay." I replied.

Rosh corrects my body posture while I'm doing some exercise. I felt some electricity running through my veins every time he touched my body to correct my posture.

It tickles me and my body reacts to move away from Rosh.

"Don't move." Rosh said while he grabbed his waist to put in the right angle of the exercise position.

"Sorry, I had tickles all over my body when someone touched me." I replied.

"Really!? But you are fine with Jeremy during your training with him." Rosh said and his mood became darker.

"It's the same with Jeremy. You can ask him." I said to avoid confrontation from him.

"Let's end our training now."'Rosh said and left.

"Is he mad again?Did I say something that made him irritated?" I was curious by his sudden change of mood.

During breakfast Rosh was grumpy and always reprimanded the twins if they did not behave. The twins looked at me to ask for help.

"Sir, the twins mean no harm. They are just playful." I defend the twins.

"We are here to eat, not to play. Do not spoil them." Rosh replied.

"Fine. Maya, Matt. If your uncle is here. You need to behave." I told the twins.

"What do you mean if I'm only here? I want them to behave all the time with or without me!" Rosh said in authoritative voice to me.

"Fine, if that is what you want, Sir." I replied.

"Raia, let me remind you, you are here as a babysitter." Rosh reminded me.

"I see." I replied and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Rosh asked.

"I am only a babysitter, it is not my place to eat together with the boss." I replied and left the dining area. The twins follow me.

I went to the kitchen to relieve my anger towards Rosh. I was so disappointed in him. But he is right, I am one of his employees.

"Why are you here?" Marie asked me.

"Here is where I belong." I replied.

"What do you mean?" Marie asked me.

"Nothing." I replied.

I can't believe I was hurt by the truth. I need to straighten my thoughts! I am here as a babysitter not their guest.

At dinner, I stopped eating with the Ladon Family. I was there to help the twins to eat properly and assist them.

"Raia, why are you not eating with us?" Maya asked.

"I will eat after you finish your dinner properly." I replied with a smile.

"Raia, you can eat now. The twins are big enough to eat on their own." Rosh said.

"No, sir. I will make sure they behave while they are eating their meals." I replied. I had no intention to eat with them.

"Fine, do what you want." Rosh said with an irritated voice.

I was in the kitchen, eating my meals when Jeremy came to eat his dinner also.

"Why are you here?" Jeremy asked me.

"Eating my dinner." I replied.

"Can I ask you something?" Jeremy asked.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Do you know the reason why our alpha is not in the right mood? He was grumpy all day!" Jeremy replied.

"I don't know either." I replied.

Jeremy and I were chatting happily when Rosh came to the kitchen. He looked so mad like he was ready to eat us whole.

"Raia, the twins are looking for you. It's their bedtime now." Rosh said.

"Okay, I will just finish my meal." I replied.

"Jeremy, check all our items in the training ground before you sleep." Rosh ordered.

"Yes, alpha." Jeremy replied and ended his dinner.

"Are you done eating?" I asked Jeremy.

"Yes." Jeremy replied and quickly left the kitchen area.

I can sense a strong aura from Rosh that everyone in the mansion follows his lead. Rosh gets some milk and gives it to me.

I was surprised by his gesture. He sat beside me while drinking his tea.

"I'm sorry about this morning." Rosh said.

"No, you are right." I replied while continuing my dinner.

"You can eat with us again." Rosh said.

"Hmmm… the twins might misbehave again. It is better if I monitor them." I replied.

"You are so hard headed Raia." Rosh said while restraining his temper.

"No, I'm not." I said and ended my dinner. 

I was going to wash my plates when Rosh grabbed my hands.

"You are driving me crazy. Don't wait to lose my temper." Rosh warns me.

"You already did!" I said and showed him my marks on my shoulder to remind him how he lost his temper.

Rosh saw my mark on my left shoulder. He touched the mark and grinned. Rosh knew that the mark is not a scar but a sign of ownership.

"Why are you smiling like an insane person?" I asked him.

"Nothing." He said and leaned on my mark and he bit it again. It was a gentle bite.
