Flipping the files page by page and signing on every necessary space, Docherty's attention was solely on getting the files ready and his intention to call for a meeting with the company staffs when the sudden slam of his office door jolted him." Ember?" he called upon seeing her barged into the office.She was breathing raggedly, furious about something he had no idea about. She angrily walked to sit opposite him." What's wrong?", he asked looking at her," How dare her! How dare her bite my ear with that smelly teeth of hers!", she fumed.Docherty's shoulder dropped looking at her exhaustedly, " Who bit your ear?"," Who else? Elora, I went to her cell but she nearly bit my ear off", she said angrily touching her ear which has now healed," Elora? You went to visit her?", his heart skipped hard as he asked," Yes"," Why? What for?"," Can't you see? I can't stop thinking, stop pondering about what could be the reason; if what happened gets out, we're in trouble. I was curious, and
Left alone in the bathing courtyard, Elora kept looking up thinking about a werewolf taking a peep on her. Feeling uncomfortable, she quickly dried herself, stood naked before her locker, and slowly took the dirty cloth she pulled off, remembering how beautiful the wedding gown was when she wore it.She sighed and trashed it before wearing the panties provided and the gown that seemed free on her." Thank goodness it's not tight", she mumbled feeling glad that her breast wouldn't be pointing out of the cloth.She closed the locker and went outside to see Isha still waiting for her. Without saying anything to each other, she walked away, and Elora followed to get their food, a grilled part of chicken." You need to comb your hair, I have a comb but that will be later, finish your food on time so you can go and do your duty", Isha said eating," What are my duties?"," You'll know when you get to the mansion"," That mansion?" she exclaimed, pointing at the huge black building. Her hear
Elora turned sharply on hearing the voice, her heart beating so fast as she stood up, fondling her fingers behind her." Are you the new slave in charge of taking care of this room?", he asked," Yes my lord", she said with a bow," Were you told the rules?"," What rules?"," Must always come to clean as early as possible, the boss is obsessed with cleanliness, so let there not be a tiny stain anywhere, the bed must be extremely well laid, the doormat must not have any dust or stain on it, the closet must be tidied and sparkling with the clothes well folded, the accessories cleaned regularly and the shoes must always be well polished, you must always be available around here for errands...".Elora felt her ears bleeding with a lot of instructions of 'must' duties. " Failure to do any of this is ten strikes of claws"," Eh", with her eyes widened, she exclaimed, "Ten strikes of claws"," Three failures to do your work right will lead to demotion. I am Magnus".' yeah... Nice meeting
"He indeed represents the saying that the devil is the most attractive, "Elora mumbled to herself as she refused to fall into the trance like every other she-wolf in the party. She rolled her eyes off, her fist clenching against the tray while she tried not to make her lower lips bleed as she bit it." Today's going to be so awkward, I've seen her ..."," There's nothing awkward about today, there's nothing to be awkward about ", Elora cut Naya short, " the room is just filled with savages with no heart, wolves from different packs who shed rivers of blood for power, hierarchy and to satisfy their greeds"," And here we are, in the middle of them all. We're going to definitely draw some attention "," Hopefully it's coming from one of them", Elora mumbled venomously looking around the room vengefully, " so at least I wouldn't get the attention in vain"," What are you thinking about?".' I'm thinking about shedding more blood tonight, 'she said in her mind and walked into the midst
Every eye turned to Larsen as he stepped forward with a hand tucked into his pocket and the other hand holding the glass cup of wine carelessly." What do you mean? Are you siding with your useless slave now?".Larsen smirked, " I'm just surprised at how you, of all people, could utter the word 'shameless whore' Do you want us to talk about the recent actions of yours?".Everyone turned to them curiously, whispering to one another while also trying to remain silent to listen to what Larsen would say." What actions are you talking about?", Manly said with a frown. He's a well-known elite in every pack, one of the most wealthy tycoons in all low four-ranked clans." Really? You want to talk about what you did with your secretary and your wife's sister?".Everyone gasped, and loud murmurs followed as his wife shot him a questioning glare." Wh..what are you talking about?!", he yelled," I'm talking about how you sold your secretary to slavery to appease your wife. Would you sell her si
Back in the plain short gown, Elora strolled towards the food arena to get her food along with other slaves in her division. " How was the outing yesterday?" Isha asked, suddenly appearing beside her.Wearily, she replied, "Not an outing, and it wasn't great".Isha smiled, " first werewolf to ever say that"," Why? Others said they had fun?"," They seem excited to have met with some elites and probably have sex with some"," Good for them, what I crave for right now is food and some more sleep"," It shows clearly in your eyes", Isha said smiling as they both entered the arena and got their potion of food.They both proceeded to a bench to sit and eat when one of the slaves pretended to bump into Elora, causing her to drop her food. She glared up to see who it was." You again?", she fiercely stared in surprise at the green-haired slave," Ops", she placed her palm against her mouth before laughing," You think this is funny?", Elora asked angrily," Nope, but you know what I think
" ugh!!!!! That monster!" Elora groaned loudly as she collapsed on the tile, " I know this is a scheme", she gritted her teeth." This wouldn't have happened if you had learned to keep your mouth shut and not always get us in trouble"," Stop talking, and there's no us", she fumed, rolling her eyes up.She sat on the tile of the room exhaustedly; this was the 9th time Magnus had entered the room and told her to start cleaning all over again; her body aches, and her blood boils." I seriously would have just sit down here without doing anything again"," You know you can't, Magnus can come in at any time to check if you're doing it"," But seriously?! Why is he so petty, the room is clean enough but he's just looking for that way to make my life miserable, I'm in hell already, can he not just leave me be?", her shoulder dropped tiredly," I'm sure he wouldn't be doing this if you've learned to be respectful and obedient"," Not to that monster, you think he cares about me being loyal o
Elia looked at him intensely with his eyes sparkling with curiosity." Why would she be after your life? Are you probably part of the reason she's now a slave?"," I don't know"," You don't know?".Mathew sat upright, "Okay, here's the issue, I and my friends did something that might be the reason for her actions, or part of the reason cause she killed one of us, or it might just be a coincidence because....ahh", he exhaled roughening his hair, " it's complicated".Elia could see him looking so confused and baffled, he let out a nonchalant air through his mouth and said, " I don't wanna ask what you and your friends did, but I can make sure you don't cross pact with her throughout your stay here"," I'll appreciate it if you lock her up somewhere"," That's a small issue".Elora blood boils as she heard them speak, she thought of what to do when she heard a footstep approaching; she turned to see a slave walking towards the room with a tray in her hand. She quickly adjusted herself a
" what do you mean?"" I don't trust you,"" But you trust him?"" No, but at least he has a motive; he is ready to make amendments for his mistakes and wouldn't hurt me."Hurt me. The word slaps him hard across the face." You don't need him,"" He's going to get justice for Scarlett, everyone is going to know the truth,"" It isn't justice you want, it's revenge,"" That'll only put me in more trouble and danger, I might get killed if I get caught killing anyone again."" Do whatever you want; kill whoever you want; I'll be your alibi."The rigidness and unwavering tone and stare, the look in his eyes when he said that wrapped her soul in the feeling of protection and her heart melt, but with that, her head felt the battle of confusion within her mind.He got up from the bed when she said no more and covered her legs with the duvet." Get some sleep, it's late," he said and made to leave," Stop confusing me?," she said running her fingers through her blonde hair and her face covere
" my beautiful pup, hmm muah! You're so adorable," her giggling voice said as she rubbed her face against his chubby, cute face.Larsen chuckled, his face full of smiles, " I miss you so much mum," his excited voice telling her exactly how much he had missed her. He hugged her, wrapping his little arms around her.Larsen clenched his fist hard as the next memory he had of her was her hand dripping with blood, and the look on her face. The memories he couldn't shove away, the memories that couldn't be buried but just live with it. The feelings he felt that day were still raw and fresh; the anger, the disappointment, the fear, they flashed across his eyes, brewing another wave of anger in him as he angrily gulped down the seventh bottle of alcohol and yet didn't feel any ounce of tipsiness.His heart feels so heavy that anger radiates through his veins as he keeps remembering his mother's bloody hands and Damien's hand holding Elora's. If he sees Damien right this moment, he wouldn't he
Without giving room for a response, he turned around and grabbed Elora's wrist before dragging her along with him back to their suite while Damien stood still, with his blood boiling and he gave out a loud growl and grunt of anger and frustration. His breath rose and fell erratically.Amie watched from the corner, smirking in satisfaction, knowing she'd gotten into trouble; her wince confirmed it as Larsen dragged her with him. The fear on Elora's face gave Amie so much joy that her eyes flickered with so much relief and lifted her mood that made her want to hum a song.Elora winced in pain from Larsen's tight grip, but he was so furious that it sent shivers down her spine; his fury terrified her that she couldn't tell him that his grip hurt. How dare her! How dare her!!His mind was in an unrelenting turmoil. It was so unbelievable when Amie showed him the picture she took, but when she took him to the spot and had to see for himself, a fire was ignited in him.He clenched his fist
Elora was surprised as her eyes fell on him." Alpha Damien?" the call was almost a whisper," Elora," he called with a smile nudging in. He was pissed about how today went; the smiley look on Elora's face after the meeting ended taunted him that he made plans to have dinner with the Alpha, hoping to see her, but his anger even surged higher when his request was turned down.He was standing by the glassy wall, gazing out of the window and sipping his red wine after giving feedback on their plan to Elia when he saw her taking a walk.This is heaven presenting to him a chance and he wouldn't for anything let it pass." Taking a walk?" he asked, looking as she folded her arms beneath her breast.Without responding, she turned to walk away but he immediately blocked the way with his body." Are you avoiding me?"" Isn't that obvious?."His heart skipped and ached at the same time. She glared up at him.When would she ever look at him the same way he looks at her." For how long would you
" why are you bleeding?" his serious voice icy and firm. She hid it behind her, making him step closer, and roughly pulled her closer, grabbing her hand. He took a look at her palm and shot her a frown, " You did this?" " It's none of your business," " Everything about you is my business," he flared up looking at the palm, " you did this to yourself?." She swallowed, feeling uncomfortable with how close they were, and her body felt his touch on her hand even though his eyes were blazing. " That's how much anger I was suppressing, his presence irritates me, every word he uttered makes my blood boil, I wish I could punish him, make him suffer, but when you give him the power and privilege, it angers me more," ' and it hurts.' She completed it in her mind. Larsen felt a strike of guilt hit his chest; how much must she have been suppressing to have pierced her delicate palm? His grip tightened for a second. " I wasn't giving him power," he said and dragged her to the pr
She made to punch his lips hard, but she couldn't; rather, she returned it with a brief cheeky smile and dropped the file on the table before walking to the other side, beside Jordan, hating every step she took towards him.She reached out to the water and gently poured the contents into the cup." A drop of it falls, and you'll crawl under his legs," She heard Larsen's warning that sent waves of anger through her.It's like he saw through her; that devil; she wanted to spill the water on Jordan, but after the threat, she couldn't. It was a message, an unspoken twist of dominance he had over her; even though she hated him and would love to defile him in every way she could, she couldn't risk having to crawl under Jordan's legs.Over her dead body. That disgusting traitor, that murderer." She's so clumsy, I'm sure she'd spill it and then crawl between my legs," Jordan taunted.Elora gritted her teeth as she slowly handed over the water to him, but the cunny Jordan made her spill it by
She felt her heart skip a little and tightened her fist against the black file she was still holding, brushing the memories to the back of her mind as she hastened her steps to meet up with Larsen's pace.The day could only get busier for Elora as she was given a quick tour through the building, from the massive warehouses, and underground storage vaults where she gets to see some rare earth minerals and exotic materials, then tour to other departments like the logistics and contribution firm, a high-security distribution center where the minerals, obsidian, silver and artifacts are processed." Sir," Elora saw Austin said to Larsen, " it's time for the meeting."' what meeting again? Am I not supposed to at least know my purpose of being here, or is it to just be carrying this annoying black file around with you like a slave?' she yelled in her mind that soon cooled down, ' oh yeah, I'm a slave.'Her face dropped, and without saying anything, she followed both Larsen and Austin to th
" like I said, we are not your citizens, we answer to our own law, not yours," Larsen glared at the senator, " we have our own security watching our kinds, no wolf would be a threat to you if you ain't a threat," " We're only trying to co-exist here, which is your only option."Larsen scoffed, "The werewolves here ain't even up to two hundred and they are only here for business."Half of the two hundred werewolves work in Larsen's hotel in the human world, while others maintain the importing, exporting, and distribution of minerals." Still,"" No still, we'll take care of our own kind, it's you who should be watchful of your people, we'll punish any wolf who goes against the law ourselves, just keep to your part of the deal and we'd be fine,"" We're upholding our end of the deal.."" Then there's nothing more to discuss; let's maintain our barter arrangement."The governor cleared his throat awkwardly, not liking how the conversation was not in any way going how they'd want, but th
Elora sat with other guards in a big van, dressed in a black pencil skirt and a white satin blouse with a knot. Her hair was packed in a bun, and the footwear she was on was a flat shoe. She glanced down at herself again.' why did he dress me up like I'm going for some official meeting,' she asked in her mind frowning. She looked like she was going to the office if not that she was thrown with the guards in a black van.He wouldn't even let her ride with him to wherever they were going; the distance between them made him seem invisible to her, and for some unknown reason, it made her mad.' there's no way I'd ever understand him or know him,' she said in her mind. He is like a brick wall, one she can't break or see through.Soon, the van came to a brupt stop, and everyone alighted. Elora gasped at the building before her; it was like nothing of the building was made of bricks and clay; everything was of aluminum." Wow, hailing to constructors," she uttered, staring at the building,
