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 I ran my fingers over his shoulder.
“Your father is going to love you until the end of time. You are his eldest son, and when it is time, you are going to be the Alpha of Alphas. Just like him. It is something that you are going to need to be prepared for.” I said, wanting him to keep that in mind. I didn’t intend for him to be repeating the same mistakes as his father did.
I took his hand in mine, squeezing it gently, and I kissed his palm. “Go and get some rest, baby. You are going to need to sleep before we arrive. You know, it has been a long day and we are going to have a long flight ahead of us.”
“But mama, I don’t want to sleep. I want to play and I want…”
“Daniel, I told you to go and sleep. You know that I don’t like it when you are stubborn. Please stop being so.” I said, and he took a deep breath before getting up. I smiled and shook my head. He had his father’s temper, that was something that I knew, and it was something that I loved.
I pulled my phone out of my purse, knowing that my headmistress would be putting Daniel in bed, before calling Clarice, Aguilar’s sister. The idea of seeing her was one that I was anxious for too. It has been a long time since I have, and I knew that there would be a lot for us to talk about.
“Ella, I thought that you would be on the plane…”
“I am, I am.” I said, stopping her. She stayed quiet for a moment, forcing me to remember the limit that I just crossed. She didn’t like it when someone stopped her. It was against doing so when it came to the Alpha bloods. “I’m sorry, I crossed my limit.”
“Don’t worry, I know that your trip must be tiring and you would have been dealing with a lot with the moving here and all.” She said, and I hummed in response. I hesitated for a moment, debating on whether to ask. But I knew that I had to get an answer. The women from his harem were already sent to him a long time ago, but I knew that he would be getting others. Others who he might not be as resentful towards.
“Did they arrive? I heard that he would be having new girls in his harem.” I said, waiting, anticipating for her response, fearing it, even.
“I understand why you chose to call me now,” she said, letting out a low laugh. “I know that you are worried about him and I know that the idea of other girls entering the harem worries you. But you know, Ella, you are the mother of his heir and eldest son. I doubt that you should be acting like an inexperienced concubine.”
“The idea of sharing him with other women scares me. I know that it is not something that you would want to hear, and I understand that you might be annoyed with what I am telling you right now, but you are the one person that I can speak to when it comes to this. He is your brother, and you would know how things are.” I said, choosing my words carefully. “And mother Luna won’t allow me to complain about it. You know…”
“He is the Alpha of Alphas, Ella. You should know the responsibility that comes with his position and you should know how things would be. I know that you would be concerned, and I understand you, but you have to understand that these are rules. You can’t just break them, and you can’t expect my brother to let go of them.” She said, and I took a deep breath. “Try and get some rest. We will see you when you’re back. I am sure that he is going to be waiting for you by now, and you need to be ready for your arrival.”
I stayed quiet for a moment before nodding, reminding myself to stay quiet considering that I was silenced. I didn’t want to cross more limits with her, especially when I knew that she was the light of the Alpha’s day.
“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“We’ll be waiting.” She hung up, not even waiting for me to respond. I had no response to give her anyway. I looked out the window for a moment as I got lost in my thoughts. My heart raced, and I couldn’t help but find myself growing anxious.
“He is yours, Ella. No one is going to take him from you. You need to calm yourself down. No one is going to take you from me. I will not allow it…”
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,
Liana:“They say that the Alpha’s Luna arrived to the pack.” I heard the girls gossiping.“Is she as beautiful as they claim that she is? Everyone says that she is the most beautiful girl in the world.” I heard another say. I didn’t say a word, taking a seat at one of the tables beside the girls and Cecilia.“I am curious, what had you calming down almost instantly? Just yesterday you were fighting to burn everything around you.” Allison asked, taking a seat at our table. “You know, suddenly, you are this good girl who is just sitting around.”“I have work to take care of, you know, unlike you, I do not intend…”“I am not like you, though. I am one of the Alpha’s favorites. I have my own room and floor, I don’t stay down here in the slave’s dorm.” She said, and I took a deep breath.“Shouldn’t you be having a table for yourself if that is the case?” I asked, and she frowned. “And if you are the Alpha’s favorite, why hasn’t he bothered calling for you to sleep by his side last night? Yo
Ella:“Settle down, Daniel, you have been playing for the past hour. You are going to need to rest before you exhaust yourself.” I said, looking at my son.“But, mama, all you ask me to do is rest. I want to play!” He said, and I shook my head as I looked at Maria, my headmistress.“Enough, Daniel. You are going to need to listen to your mother when I speak to you. You need to rest because tomorrow, you are going to start your studies.” I said, and he pouted.“I start my studies before even seeing papa?” He asked, looking away from me. “I order you, all of you, to bring father to me. I want to see papa.”The door opened, and my eyes widened in surprise as I looked at Aguilar walking inside. His eyes met mine and I was quick to put my jewelry box away as I stood up to face him. I looked down at my feet and I nodded at Maria to leave to her room within the chamber.“Papa!” Daniel cried out. He smiled and lifted our son in his arms, kissing him.“Hello, Aguilar. We have missed you deeply
Liana:I walked inside the Alpha’s room after getting ready, and though I was quiet, I couldn’t help but feel my heart racing against my chest.“You are going to need to be calm, beautiful, collected, kind, funny, sweet, and most importantly obedient. This means that you are not going to use that tongue of yours, not in front of the Alpha.” Elena said, looking at me over her shoulder.I nodded and chose not to say a word, I didn’t even trust my voice to do so.Ian knocked on the door twice before we were heard him call “Come in.”I took a deep breath and was ushered inside. My heart beat was so fast that I had a feeling that it might end up bursting. I didn’t say a word, instead, I kept my eyes on the ground, avoiding his gaze as he turned to face me.He took a step closer to me, and though they did tell me to get on my knees in front of him, I chose not to. I stood, and he put his finger under my chin, raising my face, making me look at him.Sparks coursed through my veins, and I cou
