Aguilar:
“Did you call for Daniel?” I asked, asking about my son. My beta, Ezio, smiled and nodded.
“He should be on the way, Alpha. We have already sent orders for them to be brought here from Moscow.” Ezio said, and I nodded, looking out the window of the office that was now my own.
“Good, I have missed him terribly.” I said, and Ezio smiled.
“Both he and Luna Ella have missed you too. You know, she has been waiting for your call and would be anxious to see you when she is back.” He said, and I nodded, not saying a word at the mention of my first Luna. The mother of my eldest son.
“You know, we are going to have a lot to take care of now,” I said, and he smiled, knowing that I was right. “The fact that we are now standing in the center of the world. Where the world will be bending the knee to their Alpha, it is going to be time for us to set new ground rules.”
“I am curious about how the humans would be accepting the new rules and grounds that we set for them. You know, they tend to have a difficult time doing so. And if we are going to be repeating the same cycles; I doubt that anything would be changing. They refuse to accept change, and by time, it has become the other Alpha’s essential task to force them into submission. Something that I know you wouldn’t want to do.” He said, and I nodded in agreement.
“We are going to force them into submission, yes. But it is going to be done in our own terms.” I said, and he raised an eyebrow. A heavy feeling settled in my chest, and I couldn’t help but find myself curious about my wolf’s reaction as he grew alert. It wasn’t out of danger, but a scent had his attention. One that I couldn’t understand.
“Do you think that they are going to be willing to submit? You know, judging by how things are, I doubt that they are going to be making things easy for any of us. If anything, they are going to be more than willing to choose being aggressive.” He said, and I nodded as the two of us walked out of the office. I nodded at the men who were standing by the door and they returned the nod. They were my men, and I knew that things were going to be changing for everyone.
“And that is why my main target is not going to be those who think that they have the authority over these humans. While they are going to need to focus on how they go about on their lives and things, we are going to be sure that we focus on earning the people.” I said, walking toward the halls of the house. “They are going to know that my reign is not going to be like the ones that they lived through.”
“You know that they are not going to trust us, Aguilar. Chances that they even listen to a word that we say are slim. If they see that their leaders are scared, they would be growing fierce and when that happens, we are going to have to deal with more than we are going to want to afford. And sometimes, it is not even worth the fuss.” He said, and I chuckled.
The feeling in my chest grew stronger, and I found myself frowning as I approached the estate’s harem. The dorm where my concubines would be staying. I walked toward there, it was way past my path, I knew that, but I needed to know and understand where this scent came from.
“Had we not made a fuss, we wouldn’t have been here, Ezio. That is something that you are going to need to keep in mind,” I said, choosing to keep the fact, her presence, whoever she was, to myself. I stopped, knowing that we have gotten far enough. We had people waiting for us to show up, and the last thing that I wanted right now was to delay what I knew would be one of the biggest changes that we would be making. “While things might end up being complicated for all of us, we are going to need to deal with them the way that we know best.”
“The two of us dreamed of being here, and when I was exiled, we both believed that it would be almost impossible for that to happen. Many made sure that it wouldn’t be possible, and yet, here we are.” I said, turning toward the door where I could hear the voices of the men who had gathered to see their new Alpha. The Alpha of Alphas.
“You and I both know that things were different,” he said.
“And things are going to be different now. One way or the other, I am going to force them to accept our new ways. But they are going to be doing it while being convinced. At least, their people, those who believe that they are unsafe would know that they are. Then after we have managed to seep deep inside their lives, when we have managed to show them what we are capable of, we are going to be making our next moves.” I said, and my beta raised an eyebrow.
I looked at the door, knowing that our lives were going to be changing the second we stepped outside. Everything was going to be changing, and even those who were under our reign were going to understand that change.
“Now come on, I doubt that it would be very kind of us to keep our guests waiting any longer, wouldn’t you agree?” I asked, looking at Ezio. “It is time to show the world who the new Capo dei Capi is, and more importantly, who their Alpha of Alphas is going to be…”
Liana:I got up from my bed, if I call it one, it was a mere mattress that we set on the floor where our ‘dorm’ was. The white sheets were smudged with my tears, I knew not to expect otherwise, and I knew that this was a nightmare that wouldn’t end.It was one that I couldn’t just wake up and find myself back in my own peace. One that stripped me away of my freedom to be a slave of the Alpha. An Alpha who I would be more than willing to kill if I were to be given a chance.The idea of belonging to a monster, one who we didn’t even know, was not something that I wanted for myself. And though I knew not to say it out loud, I knew that I was going to have to get out of here. There was no other way that things were going to be going my way as causally.“Each one of you get ready. I want these beds made and these mattresses removed before I am back for your lessons. Starting today, you are going to start your classes. Breakfast would be arriving shortly, and those who think of defying…” she
Aguilar:I kept my eyes on the woman, my mate, for a moment, and I couldn’t help but frown.“Bring the pack doctor to her.” I said, nodding at Ian, one of the servants of the harem.“Yes, Alpha.” He said, holding her upright.He lifted her in his arms and I watched as he took her back inside the room. Elena was quiet as she kept her eyes on the girls despite keeping her head low, and I knew that since they seemed to be new, she was making sure to maintain their order.I nodded at Ezio and the two of us walked out of the harem toward the front door where I knew things were going to be changing. But I had to admit, I couldn’t help but find myself and my wolf, in awe at the sight of the woman. I didn’t know who she was or where she came from, the one thing that I could tell that she was human. A small little setback that I knew wouldn’t be coming in my favor.“Are you okay, Alpha?” Ezio asked, and I raised an amused eyebrow at him.“I doubt that a woman falling in my arms would be shaking
Ella:“Mama, when are we going to arrive?” My son, Daniel, asked, growing somewhat restless and hyper. “Is daddy going to be waiting for us?”“We are going to be arriving soon, baby. Your dad is going to be waiting for us, and he is going to be more than happy to see you home.” I said, and he smiled. I looked out the window for a moment, eager for our arrival. It has been a while since I’ve seen my love. He has been gone from home for a long while now.“Is the house going to be big? Daddy always said that it was big, but I didn’t see it. When we were in Moscow, we didn’t see it.” He said, and I wrapped my arm around him, tightening it as I pulled him to me, cuddling him.“It is so big. The two of us are going to run and we are going to have fun in our new home and new place. There will be guards everywhere, and you are always going to be with me, just as I will be with you.” I said, and he smiled.“Am I going to be playing with daddy too? Is he going to love me the same?” He asked, and
Aguilar:“Clarice.” I said, smiling when I saw my sister walking around the estate gardens.Jade, my first woman, was with her. Both women looked down at their feet, nodding in respect before Claire approached me.“I am surprised to see you out here at this time of day.” I said, and she smiled. “It is noon and you might end up getting a little heat from the sun.”“I figured that it would be the best option for the day. You know, going out, getting some fresh air. Normally, I would prefer staying inside at this time, but with Daniel arriving, I figured that I check that his things are also set up for him. He is my nephew, and it has been a long while since I have seen him.” She said, making me smile. “I figure that you could also use a little pleasure for the night.”“You are implying that you would be taking charge of our mother’s duty?” I teased, and she laughed.“I would never. But sometimes, your sister might be happy to intervene when it comes to her brother’s peace and ease.” She
Liana:“For someone who wanted nothing with the Alpha, I am amazed by the fact that you fainted the second he passed by you.” Elena said, raising an eyebrow at me as I woke up.My heart raced against my ribcage, and I couldn’t help but sneeze as I tried to allow myself to process the odor that they had me smelling. Whatever it was, it was annoying to my nasals.I watched as a nurse put a napkin of perfume, it was what they used to wake me up, inside her box. Her eyes met mine, and though she didn’t say a word, I saw her disgust in her eyes before she turned to look at Elena.I couldn’t bring myself to speak. I knew that passing out wasn’t because I saw him. I would be more than willing to watch him rot in hell. But I knew better than to say that to her. She would end up reporting it, and I didn’t want to find myself getting into more trouble than I could afford. Plus, it’s not like she cared anyway.“She is fine,” the doctor said, looking at me. “And her health is well too, she just ne
Aguilar:I walked inside my room to find the maids and servants cleaning the room, preparing it for the night.My eyes met a concubines for a moment, but she was quick to look down at her feet, avoiding my gaze. I smirked at her sight and watched as everyone left before I wrapped my hand around her wrist, stopping her.“What’s your name?” I asked, watching as her cheeks reddened.Her lips moved for a moment, but nothing came out of her voice, and her racing heart told me that she was both excited and nervous.“Allison.” She said, finally speaking.“Allison,” I said, and she nodded. I guided her toward my bed, and I watched as she slowly pushed me to sit down on the edge of it. I smirked at her dominance, and I watched, in silence, as she stripped herself off her clothes.I eyed her for a moment, admiring her beauty. She was young, it was obvious, not older than twenty, a small scar was on her right hip, but nevertheless, the rest of her body could have been mistaken for porcelain.I w
Liana:“So, what are the rules again?” Ian asked, looking at us as if we were stupid.The idea of dealing with all of this was not one that I wanted to process. The fact that they were teaching us to ensure that we were ready to satisfy the Alpha wasn’t something that I liked. I was furious, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to change anything. Not this way.“No talking back, no looking into the Alpha’s eyes unless aloud, no yelling, no screaming, and no to being rude.” We repeated, knowing not to stay quiet. We didn’t want him to have us going at it for another hour again.“Exactly, and the last, but most important rule, NO MEN.” He said, and we all looked at one another for a moment as Elena walked toward us. We looked at her as she took Ian’s place, and though we stayed quiet, too scared to ask, we watched as the man walked out of the room for a moment, leaving us alone.“No men?” I asked, and Elena nodded.“They are here as servants of the harem, of the pack, and of the women of
Aguilar:“We are going to deal with more of you people around the clock.” I said, looking at Ezio. Valdez’s eyes were fixed on me, and though quiet, I could tell that he didn’t like the advisor who stood in front of me.“And do you think that we are going to want to deal with you, Alpha?” He, Marco, asked. “We are merely forced to be making this alliance for the good of our own people. It is not one that we want to make, and that is something that you know.“The two of us come from the same place, and though a human, you are dealing with your people as if they were strangers to you. I, as Alpha, aim to ensure their safety, while you want them to live in pain, poverty, and illness; I doubt that this is how a leader is to rule.” I said, raising an eyebrow at the man who was forced to sit on his knees in front of me. Two of my men held him down, forcing him to submit.“I am going to an expansion, and it is something that you and those of your kind, those who want to want to see me fall,
