"Is there any reason a mutt is eating amid warriors Leah?" Her voice is like silk. "If anything, she should be crawling on her feet at least, not standing and acting like an equal to the rest of us."My heart is hammering in my chest and my skin feels slick with nervous sweat. Leah takes a bite of her drumstick before she looks up at our guest.There's nothing I can use to describe the type of unbridled beauty this lady is. Maybe it's because of the morning sun shining in through the open windows, or maybe it's because I seem to find all of them better looking than normal people, but she's pretty and I can't seem to ignore it.She was the one I was staring at earlier.Leah tilts her head to the side and I'm almost blinded by the perfect smile she flashes. "If you have a problem with her walking on her feet Lysandra, I think you can take it up with Lyros. She's his guest, and I know I can't order you around so save those words, but at least let us have our breakfast in peace."Chuckle
"Can I sit with you?" I try to swallow the lump in my throat but I find it hard. Accompanying me and Cain is another undeniably sexy male who seems smitten with our silver haired escort. I nod and move to the far end of the seat on the other side of the car. The tall and handsome blond haired male gets into the car and closes the door when he's fully seated. There is no movement even with everyone fully seated and I dare to steal a look at Cain. Again my heart does that thing that makes me feel like a fool because I'm not supposed to feel this way. The expression on Cain's face is one that catches me off guard though. He looks troubled, or rather like he's trying to calm down. I focus on his reflection on the side lens of the car and I see unrivaled allure staring fixedly at the nothingness in front of him. His eyes remain unfocused for a few more seconds, but then he releases a breath, and the engine of the car stutters to life. "You made sure to check the water level, didn't you
"You look beautiful Miss Adelaide."I feel my cheeks heat up again and I stretch out a gloved hand so Rhys can help me up. He's the blond one and so far he's the only one who has said anything to me. The stylist lady stands to one side, picking out pins from a box and taking a look at the hairdo I have chosen from time to time.The dress I chose is a simple one but as opposed to a lower bodice and skirt with excessive fabric in flair, I chose something else. Pencil fit."I can barely walk."Rhys chuckles again and I hear a happy sound escape my lips too. I'm elated. Excitement is rushing through me more pleasantly than I have experienced it before, and along with that, there's the odd feeling that I'm way in over my head.I barely know what's going on but I picked a dress that is so sophisticated. We could be going for a walk in the park to the best of my knowledge. All this would seem unnecessary if whatever Cain is keeping from me isn't worth the stress.I hear a zipping sound and
"Do you think she's ready?"Lyros sits by the window of his room and his eyes don't leave the book he's reading. I nod, regardless of the fact that he isn't looking at me and I try to make my chest a bit less tight.I can be many things, but I'm not a nanny. I can't groom an omega into the weapon he wants her to be."Rhys is asking if he can help her prepare for the rest of her tasks from now on. I feel that's a good idea."Lyros's eyes leave his book and he delivers a raised brow."Isn't Rhys the one pining after you?"It takes a while before I can answer and when I do I make sure my voice is calm."Rhys is one of your warrior Lycans Lyros, and as for the matter of pining after me, it won't affect their training. I'll make sure to stay out of the way."I feel Lyros's ability come at me with the subtlety of a snake, slithering and flicking its tongue at the edges of my mind. I allow him in and let him see what he wants to see.I let him see Adelaide being meek and obedient, a bit stub
When I receive the letter Cain sends informing me of the new routine I'm to follow, I'm smitten by how clean his handwriting is.It's beautiful.Of course, his message also makes me feel something fluttering in my stomach. Butterflies maybe, I don't really know but I know the feeling is there. According to the letter, Rhys is going to help me draft a workout schedule and then I'm going to train with him going forward.I've never really worked out before, but I guess it has its benefits. Back in my parent's pack, I was not much better than a slave. There was no time to think of anything else except my chores and I'd probably have been bullied if I ever tried working out.Here in the Lycan king's huge building, I'm something more like property. According to Cain, no one can order me around except they've been given the power to by Lyros, and apart from Lyros no one should have the power to lay a finger on me.Somehow that makes sense, seeing as the Lysandra lady didn't hit me even thoug
A thwack rings out and I almost slip on my own sweat. The wooden rod hits the spot I'd been standing in just seconds ago and I can already see Rhys moving from the corner of my eye. I move as fast as I can away from the spot I'm standing and this time I feel the brush of air when the pole comes slamming down again.How the fuck is this even fair!He has a huge stick that he swats at me and tries to use and hit me like I'm some kind of fly. I have nothing but my legs and reflexes, both of which aren't good enough or strong enough and I can't seem to think of a way to get out of this."I concede Rhys, please stop!"Another thwack and a smile I found sexy a few hours ago are my only response. I'm running again before I can even get the tears out of my eyes.My body betrays me and the ground is solid when I hit it. I could act dead, or just glare at this demon who's training me, but weapons don't play dead unless they want to be discarded. I won't go back to the life I lived, and I'm not
"No way."Rhys chuckles and cocks an eyebrow up at me while he slurps the last of his vile-tasting smoothie.I am currently buried in a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, and it's a smaller portion than what I had in mind, but Rhys's words are enough to fill my belly ten times over.I shake my head again and swallow the food that's in my mouth. When I speak I make sure there's enough disbelief in my tone."There's no way Cain and Lyros were ever in that kind of relationship."Rhys just chuckles and shakes his head. I feel very naive when he looks at me but he's smiling so I don't register most of the emotion."Do you think I would lie to you about something like that?"I shake my head reluctantly, but there's also some doubt in my heart."When I asked Leah about this she told me nothing like that was going on between them.""You suspected Lyros was bedding Cain already?"I blush at the accusatory tone in his words but I shake my head all the same."I was foolish to think that. Lyros al
"What do you think Lord Lyros really needs me for?"I help Leah carry the watering can and this time she doesn't stop me when I randomly water a batch of her roses. She always makes a point of telling me they're hers, and she treats them so tenderly like they're her children. I don't know if any of the warrior-class Lycans have children, and I'm not eager to ask.Maybe I'll ask Rhys. The thought of him brings a slight fluttering to my belly so I focus on the next batch of roses I have chosen to water.Leah stands up from the floor, satisfied with the roses she's inspected and she turns to face me instead. When she speaks she sounds slightly amused."Why would you assume I know anything about what the Lycan king is thinking?"The conspiratorial look she's giving me makes me catch on to what she's implying quickly and I flush a shade of embarrassed red."I didn't mean any of it that way.""What way Adelaide?" Okay, she's definitely amused "You think I moan the Lycan king's name at night
