“Yes, my lady.”She looked at the woman from her head down to her toe, before settling on the closet seat to the Alpha. “Thank you for having me, my lord.” They shared a quick kiss and she commanded Emilia who watched - waiting for any new command. “Serve us. And don't be slow. I hate slow people.”Nyssa caught up with the table again.In one quick move, she served the Alpha. She always served him first before serving Thalia; a reminder that she belonged to the Alpha and not her - something that made her angry for no just reason.
