Thank you for reading, as you probably figured we are very near the end. There are about four chapters left. I hope you are enjoying the read
Zared povI didn’t expect to sleep peacefully, I expected to lay awake, tossing and turning. My sack hurt too much, my head was a turmoil. Gunther tried his best to take away the pain but the incision was made with a silver knife. Thank the Goddess Breanna stitched it fairly neatly with a hot needle. It hurt just like the alcohol hurt. But Gunther said it will make the difference between losing my remaining testicle and maybe my life to an infection or being to live on. It will scar, silver almost always does. Even if the scars are invisible you feel them when the temperature changes or when the skin stretches. In my case I will be painfully reminded of this ordeal every time I get an erection as it will put tension on my sack. Which is at least once a day when I wake up with morning wood. The anger was indescribable. The betrayal Janus and Dysnomia committed still burns. I felt love and pride looking at the pup in Dysnimia’s arms. Gunther presented me visions of us being a happy fa
Dysnomia povToday Zared and I will be crowned Alpha King and Alpha Queen of ‘Regnum Lunae Lupi’. Over the past weeks we have planned this day and the future of our kingdom together. The planning has given us a common goal to work on and has significantly improved our relationship. There are still trust issues on both sides. Encouraged by Gunther and Aminta we spend time with just the three of us. Breanna, Bridget and Zared haven’t spoken since that fateful full moon. They don’t want to apologise to Zared and Zared doesn’t want to listen to their grievances. It is quite inconvenient to have the beta’s and the Alpha not communicating. That is the root cause of guilt issues on my side. I’m stuck between my mate and my best friends. They understand me and feel bad that they hurt Zared in such a way that it puts me in a difficult position with both Aminta and with Zared. But they don’t feel bad for Zared about it or the act itself. Zared on the other hand won’t admit that he deserved
Dysnomia pov The sun peeps in through a crack in the curtains. I turn my back to the window and pull the blanket over my head. Of course I knew that having sex on a very regular basis with Zared could get me pregnant again but I’d foolishly hoped that it would take years not months. A soft knock on the door that I can but don’t want to ignore announces Austra with Derora. I sit up and plaster a smile on my face. I know the smile will be genuine in a few seconds when she hands me my little girl. Austra walks in holding my squirming little cherub. Her brown eyes have tiny golden specks showing that she too has some dragon magic. “Mwa!” Derora happily shouts out. I’m still not sure if she is trying to say ‘Mine’ or ‘Mama’. The one perk of being pregnant is that I can stay in bed and cuddle with her whilst the rest of the world is already going through the motions. I get ready with Derora playing and babbling on the bed. Once downstairs I go to my office. Zared is out hunting rebels,
Dysnomia“Neptunes nipples,” I mutter to myself. I really want to finish this blanket before Derora gives birth. But the light is too dim for my poor eyesight. “Getting older is a curse. I can’t crochet for hours, my back hurts and my fingers are more crooked than the twigs of a serpentine hazel.” “Talking to yourself again?” Zared rhetorically asks as he enters the room, “I think it’s cute that you do that nowadays. Talking, or more accurately muttering, to myself is one of the most irritating things of being older. I often do it without thinking. It frequently leads to over sharing of information. Even though Zared is older than me he is in a far better shape. I continue muttering under my breath ignoring Zared. He walks over and switches on a special reading lamp lamp with a magnifying glass attached we got in the human realm a few months earlier. Before we came to this era of relative peace people didn’t get this old. When I shift, which is rare nowadays, Aminta no longer has
My knees are bleeding all over the freshly cleaned floor. They sting as the cheap soap enters the wounds. I daren’t make a sound. My hands are scrubbed raw. “Hurry UP!” Beta Nasir cracks the whip by his side “Guests arrive for Alpha Ahriman’s engagement announcement tomorrow - DON’T let us down! This place needs to be cleaner than spotless!”I snort into my bucket, trying to hide my grin. This guy is as horrible with language as he is everything else. How can anything be cleaner than spotless? Idiot. Finally the floors are deemed acceptable. Nasir commands us to head back to our barracks. Calling our slave quarters a ‘barracks’ is like gilding a turd. They’re a shack. Cold, no glass in the window holes, simply thin wooden roofs on top of thinner wooden walls. At least it’s not raining today. Brian catches my eye as us slaves troop out. I wink at him and his shoulders visibly relax. He needs to guard himself better - if anyone knew how he takes pity on us slaves, how he sometimes b
Nomia pov “Halt!” Beta Nasir's shout wakes me and, as I return to consciousness, I realise the jostling of the cart has stopped. Nasir looks at me. He knows I can't get up on my own - my hands are bound behind me and my ankles are chafed by the shackles. Nasir simply removes the shackles. My arms are still tied on my back. Nasir grins, then throws me off the back of the cart face first. I feel my nose break. I can't look up from my facedown position on the floor. Feet appear just within my eye line and I'm hauled up by the rope around my wrists. The rheumy eyes of a middle aged man who's gotten old before his time stare back at me. “Well, she ain't much to start with” he grins, checking me all over “What's her story?” He turns to Nasir. “Background doesn’t matter” Nasir responds shortly. “We need to get rid - keep her a bit, feed her, clean her and sell her at the virgin auction.” he instructs. “Well she’s flat all round Nasir - except for those handle-like hip bones. I’ve got s
Nomia pov I lie down on the cot carefully, trying to nurse my wrist away from the hard base. Eventually, sleep takes me - I’m not sure how long I’m asleep for but the cell door clangs open suddenly and I jerk awake.Machteld stands, silhouetted in the doorway, with another bowl of soup and some more bread. She frowns down at me, holding my wrist. “Manfred coulda told me your wrist needed setting too. Men!” she scoffs, setting down the tray and walking out. I remain on my side, watching her. “Sit up!” she commands as she re-enters the cell, holding a small plank of wood and some bandages. I hurry to comply, though I don’t want to. Machteld takes my arm - not gently - ignoring my flinch. She runs her fingers up and down my arm - squeezing as she goes. “Well.” she sucks on her teeth “Nothing feels out of place; I’ll just stick a splint on it and bandage it up. Should be healed before sale.” With all the significance of discussing the weather, Machteld wraps my wrist tightly, turns and
Sold to the highest bidderNomia pov “Eunuchs first” Manfred announces as he enters the room, a new happy skip to his step. He looks up and down the rows of people like so much spoiled goods. “Then anal virgins, then vaginal virgins. Nomia last. She’s the only double.” Two men with sticks enter the room, unchain the first eunuch they come to and lead him beyond the doors, into what I can only assume is the main auction hall. One by one, the eunuchs disappear. Then Machteld and Gertrude enter and take the first girl through those doors - the number of girls diminishes quickly and it’s my turn before I know it. Machteld reaches out and pinches my nipples. I flinch “Need them perky so they pay what you’re worth” Gertrude tells me, before pinching my cheeks. As we enter the room, I see a platform in the middle - like a gallows stage. Around the stage in a semi-circle are a load of chairs; mainly empty. I count about twenty men; all of them exuding power. I can’t help my cringe away, b
