Chapter 7 Mr Reyes

The silence was awkward and Arya wasn’t sure what to do. Should she say something or maybe wait till her owner says anything. He was sitting opposite to her so she took her time looking at him as every detail could give her precious information. He was about thirty years old. He had nice regular features, thin lips and straight nose. His hair was as black as hers. His eyes were pale blue that was creating a great contrast. Those eyes were looking at her showing little emotion. The scar was interesting, it was prominent and it started close to his left eye and reached his jawline. He was wearing black clothes from head to toes, but it was of a good quality that much she knew. On his hands she noticed some tiny scars. He was a fighter. He definitely wasn’t a typical noble man. He was rather some self made man.

“Like what you see?” His voice was deep.

“Of course sir.” She replied without any hesitation.

“You hoped for a different one. The one who owns a pharmacy right?” He smirked, making her shiver. He was an excellent observant. She must be more careful in the future.

“I knew him, that’s all.” She tried to look indifferent.

“How well do you know him?”

“Well enough to not be afraid of him.”

“Are you afraid of me?”

“Yes.”

He smirked, he seemed to be pleased with her answer.

“Arya.” He said slowly. “Is that your real name?”

“No sir, but that’s the only name I’m allowed to use. However, you can change it if you please.” She couldn’t make herself smile at him so she just kept staring at him stubbornly.

“Arya is fine. My name is Silas Reyes. You will address me as Mr Reyes in public and Master in private.” His eyes were cold and motionless, Arya knew he will be a demanding Master.

“Yes … Master.” That was a new word she needs to get used to it. Shade of pleasure crossed his face. Then there was silence. The widows were covered so Arya didn’t know where she was going and there was no other option as to either look down on her knees or at her new Master. He has chosen the second option. She counted the buttons on his jacket and focused on his hands. He knew she was watching him but he said nothing after a while a smirk appeared on his lips and stayed there till the carriage stopped. The door opened and a coachman helped her and Mr Reyes to get out. They were in front of a large mansion surrounded by a garden full of flowers and trees. Arya was wondering whether there was a Mrs Reyes and what her reaction would be if her husband had brought a young Omega to their house. That would definitely be a shitty situation. She followed Mr Reyes to the main entrance and a butler opened it letting the both in.

“Good evening Sir.”

“Good evening Jason. Please show the young lady to her room.”

“Of course sir. My lady, follow me please.” Arya followed without a single question.

The wide stairs led her to the first floor and then the butler turned left, her room was at the end of the corridor. The room was spacious with a really big bed.

“This is your room madam, on the left there is a bathroom, Mr Reyes wants you to take a bath and change clothes. Your new dress is on the bed. In an hour dinner will be served. I will come to take you to the dining room.”

“Thank you Mr Jason.” Arya smiled as sweetly as she could. She needed friendly people around her so she decided to use her charms.

Jason was an older man, a Beta. He looked at her with some sadness in his eyes.

After a few seconds of hesitation he asked;

“May I have a question madam.”

“Of course Mr Jason.”

“How old are madam?”

“I’m almost seventeen.”

Jason sighted, bowed and left. Arya was on her own. She looked around, except for the bed there was a small sofa with a table and an armchair. There was a vanity table and a shelf with books. There were two doors on the left, one was a small walk-in closet the other led to a bathroom. What surprised her was that the walk in closet was full of dresses. Someone got ready to buy an Omega. The whole room and bathroom was held in bright colors. It looked like the apartments of a fine young lady. Arya took off her dress and took a bath. She cleaned herself and dried. On her bed there was a red dress with deep cleavage  showing her arms with only tiny sleeves. It was made of some sparkling material and looked very elegant like a ball gown. On the vanity table there was a hairpin with red stone so she pinned up part of her hair with it. She looked pretty. Arya released some of her pheromones to make this place hers. She was ready waiting when she heard knocking on the door. The butler was there.

“You look beautiful madam.”

“Thank you sir.” She replied automatically.

The older Beta smiled and she followed him downstairs across the hall and then they turned left. The dining room was large, the table could fit thirty people and was well lit with countless candles. Her Master was sitting at the end of the table and her place was next to his. She sat down.

“Leave us Jason.”

Jason bowed and left.

“Enjoy your meal.”
