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 said softly. “You know, with all the work that you’ve been having, the least that you can do is loosen up. And I figure that a girl in your room would be a little change for that.”
She looked at Jade over her shoulder, and I could swear that I saw a hint of pain in the woman’s eyes. She didn’t look up at me, though. She just kept her eyes on the ground, giving me and my sister the privacy to talk as Valdez stood one step behind me.
“You can arrange for that. As long as she is of my sister’s choosing, I am sure that she is going to be the perfect woman.” I said, and she smiled. I looked at Jade for a moment before nodding at Clarice. “Don’t stay out for long. Jade, come with me.”
She looked at me, and her eyes widened in surprise, and I nodded at her to follow me. It has been a while since I’ve seen her, and after losing our child, she had chosen to come here with Clarice and mother a long time ago. I didn’t stop her either.
The two of us walked for a while. I was quiet, not saying a word, and she didn’t look at me as she kept her eyes on the flowers and roses.
“I have yet to see you since I got back.” I said, choosing to finally speak.
“It has been a long time since the two of us have seen one another. I can assume that you had a lot of important things to take care of. I doubt that I am going to be one of the priorities that you have amongst them.” She said, and I shook my head at her.
“The two of us know that you are one of the priorities that I have, Jade.” I said, and she smiled. “How have you been? Your health? I heard from mother that you chose to complete your studies. Have things gone well for you?”
“Yes, they have. The mother Luna has been kind to me with allowing it. I chose from different majors. She helped me with my choice too. It was not a favorable choice for her, though. But she has been supporting me with it and has even brought the best tutors to the harem to help me with them.” She said, and I smiled.
“What do you intend to do with the degree once you’ve gotten it?” I asked, and she shook her head.
“Nothing, really. It is just a lot more satisfying for me to know that I am doing something that is different. You know, rather than roaming around doing nothing, architecture has always been one of my dreams, and it is something that I like admiring, might as well take advantage of it.” She said, and I nodded.
“Well, when you are done with your degree, I want to see your work. If you would be interested, I am going to be more than willing to give you an offer for an opportunity. You know, something to make use of your studies and to us as a pack.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.
“You are being serious?” I asked, and she smiled.
“I aim for prosperity. And I doubt that you would be failing the expectations that I have in you. I have a lot of faith in what you will be able to achieve and I aim to help you with fulfilling a dream that you have.” I said, and her eyes brightened as she looked at me.
“Thank you, Alpha.” She said, and I took her hand in mine, squeezing it gently. She pulled my hand to her lips, and I watched as she kissed my knuckle. Her amber eyes met mine, and I ran my finger over her palm gently before the two of us turned to walk back toward the house.
“You don’t need to thank me. You deserve the best, and I don’t want you to think of feel like you are going to be wandering around with nothing to do. If you have a talent, then I would be more than willing to help you grow and even make use of it. That is something that you can count on.” I said, softly. She smiled as we got to Clarice who was plucking a few roses.
“Clarice, Jade, go inside. It is going to be a hot day, and I do not want you getting ill. Specifically you, Clarice as you are often very sensitive when it comes to heat,” I said, and she nodded, smiling at me.
“Don’t worry, Alpha. I was only bringing roses for mother. I will be going inside shortly.” She said, and I nodded as she smiled at me. “I’ll be making arrangements for you little evening once I’m inside.”
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
Aguilar:I kept my arms wrapped around my woman, my mate, who smiled as she looked at me.“I have to admit, when I heard the way you had an attitude, I expected that you wouldn’t be very open to me touching you.” I said, teasing her.“I barely caused them a fuss within the Estate, I am curious of what you are referring to?” She asked, and I smirked.Flashback:“One of the girls, the concubines, who arrived the other day has caused a fuss. Her name is to be said Liana. She fought against eating, against the girls eating or even looking at us, and the number of times that we had to tie her down for her to calm down are countless,” Marcus, one of the men who were in the car to deliver the concubines said. “I see,” I said.“She called the place hell. You the demon Alpha, a bunch of other words that wouldn’t be deemed appropriate considering that she is speaking to the Alpha of Alphas.” He said, and I took a deep breath. “Her family was killed by the men who sold her to us. It was why she
