A junior clerk, Anthony Heartfelt, guided Nathaniel into a large room filled with multiple desks. The office was beautiful, fully furnished, decorated with a few posters and paintings, and organised like a library, with books and case files neatly arranged. A few junior clerks worked and chatted softly among themselves.“This is our workstation, the grass level.” Anthony said with a proud smile. “It is the best and only position to make mistakes and learn from them if you want to become a judge or a senior associate, Your Highness.”Nathaniel faced him. “We are colleagues on this ground. Please, call me Nathaniel.”“Anthony.” The clerk replied, shaking his hands. “My station is over there.” He pointed at the desk on the far side of the room. “If you have any questions or challenges, you can speak with me anytime.”“I understand.”“You can take any empty station.”Everyone’s attention shifted to Nathaniel as he walked past them toward an empty desk close to a window and a bookshelf.

The doctor nodded and dropped his note.“Nothing seems wrong with you physically… For now.” He spoke. “However, you did not heed my advice, and now you cannot fight your biology. Your body is like a vegan dog that has tasted meat and desires more, even at the cost of its life. You were celibate, suppressed your rut for seven years, then took an omega after such long deprivation. Your primitive instincts will never allow you to return to such abstinence, even if it kills you.”He took off his glasses, his expression growing grave.“Have you told him? Your omega? That he imprinted on you?”“He will know with time. All I need is more medicine.”“As your doctor, your wellbeing is my priority.” Doctor Elsworth stated firmly. “If I give you any more medicine, it is the same as killing you. You could turn feral and be locked in a mental institute or suffer a stroke or die. Worse, your pheromone and body will collapse. It’s a state no alpha or omega should ever endure. It’s a fate worse than

Before the break of dawn, earlier than usual, the Blackwell household servants rose and commenced their duties. Curtains were changed, decorations set, and silverwares were replaced in preparation for the day’s events—the birthday of the Grand Duke, Lucian Blackwell.Sebastian oversaw every activity, ensuring that every detail was perfect without fail. Gifts began to arrive as early as seven, accompanied by a few cards and letters for the master. Except one.“Deliver this note to the young master.” Sebastian instructed, handing the letter to a young maid.An hour later, Sarang left his room and encountered Nathan on his way down the stairs. Nathan was dressed in formal attire, already prepared to leave.“You are dressed very handsome for an evening event.” Sarang complimented.Nathan chuckled. He wrapped his arms around Sarang’s waist and kissed his lips.“I have urgent business with my superior.”“It should be postponed. It is the Gr

“What have you found?” Nathaniel was direct with Ashton as soon as he entered his office.Ashton sat upright and placed his empty glass on the table.“A few words of pleasantries is the best way to start a conversation, but you would not know, given your lack of a maternal figure.”“I did not come here to be criticised by you. You had both, and somehow, I turned out better, which shows my father did more than enough.”Ashton scowled. “I dislike you.”“The feeling is mutual.”Ashton placed his hand beneath the cushion pillow and slapped the ownership papers onto the table. He crossed his legs and leaned back.“A man born a slave dies a slave. Very simple system. However, there are three ways a slave can be granted freedom. One, the slave’s debts are cleared. Second, the master grants them their freedom. And third—”“The slave is granted amnesty from a higher power or the Church.” Nathaniel replied.Ashford nodded. “Howeve
