Chapter 5
XANDER
I stood in front of the mirror, my muscles flexing as the maids scurry around me, dressing me up. The soft rustle of fabrics and the sweet scent of perfumes filled the air as they fastened the buttons and fixed my clothes.
The maid in front of me wouldn’t dare to look up even though she was just a few inches away from my face. I bet she was holding her breath because if there was anything I hated the most, it was having the maid’s breath fanned against my body, or anyone at all.
She wasn’t doing a great job of holding her breath though, because now, she looked like she would pass out any moment from lack of breath.
I pushed her aside as soon as she finished and another maid brought my tea forward.
The rule is simple. Do not talk unless you are asked to. Do not make any sound, and emotions are something I detest the most. If I notice a slight emotion on their faces, they would face the worst punishment ever. So before any maid could attend to me, they underwent proper training because their lives were handed on a small thread.
Just as they finished, a gentle knock resonated through the room and Rosalie, a middle, aged woman came in.
“My king, Lord Williams is back, and he brought a new toy with him,” she said.
“I see…” I said flatly, not surprised to hear about the new toy since I was the one who sent Williams there in the first place.
“The girl is just how you always like them. Fair skin, average height, pretty face, hazel eyes- exactly how you like them, sire.”
“Hmmm,” I hummed in response. I like my toys in a certain way, but that doesn’t mean what they look like is something I want to discuss. They are mere sex toys and regardless of what beauty they possess, they will end up kneeling before me, pleasuring me in their most skilled way for the next six months.
The sooner they come to accept the better for them.
“I have examined her closely, sire, and she doesn’t look like one that would..” Rosalie hesitated, her eyes darting around the room before fixing on mine. “She doesn’t look like one that would… disappoint you, sire.”
I raised an eyebrow, my gaze piercing. “Go on”
Rosalie cleared her throat. “She has spirit, sire. A spark in her eyes that suggests she might be more than just a pretty face.”
I snorted, my lip curling in disdain. “Spirit? Ha! That’s just a fancy word for ‘defiance‘. And defiance is something I will not tolerate
Rosalie bowed her head, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, sire. I understand.”
I waved my hand dismissively. “Very well. Go and prepare her. Bring her to me. I’ll see if she’s worth my time.”
“Of course, Alpha. Be assured that I’d make her look presentable. I’ll send her to your room tonight.” She said, bowing her head before taking her leave.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
I spent the rest of the day listening to boring news from the elders and once I had had enough of their nonsense, I dismissed them.
“When I said you should report everything happening in the pack in detail, I didn’t ask you to bring irrelevant news just to make it seem like you are doing your work.” I hissed.
“Go out there and bring me useful information. My people are doing fine and unless something is affecting them that I haven’t heard of already, then I don’t want to hear it. This is not a place for gossip, I want valuable information!” I snapped at them and they cleared their throats.
None of them dared to speak when I was talking, so they all kept my mouth shut.
“I am giving you until the end of the week. You know what to do.”
The elders left the room and just then, Dan, my Beta came in.
“Alpha,” he called and I sighed.
“What is it this time?”
“We have found the man who stole your gold he said and an amusing smile spread across my lips. Finally, some exciting news.
“Where is he?” I demanded.
“Come in!” Dan yelled, and the guards came in with a man who looked like he had been beaten up.
“I can see that you were already having fun with him,” I chuckled.
“He was a stubbormone, Alpha. We had no other choice.” If there was anything I liked about Dan, it was his brutality.
He wasn’t some chicken who couldn’t even rule if I wasn’t around and he understood what he meant to be my Beta.
“So you are the one who dared to sneak into my room and steal from me,” I let out a dry laugh and he began to shiver on the floor
“Forgive me, Alpha. I have made a grave mistake- I was in dire need of money… I know I was wrong… forgive me, sire,” he pleaded and this time, I laughed for real.
“Forgive you? I might as well release all my prisoners and set them free since I have a generous heart, right?” I glared at him.
I stood up from my seat and moved close to where he was kneeling.
“It was a mistake, one that would never repeat itself. Please spare me…” he begged.
“I must confess, I like your boldness. How much did you sell it?” I asked and he swallowed the lumps in his throat.
“I don’t like repeating myself,” I said and he visibly trembled from my cold voice.
“Two thousand,” he said and I felt a surge of anger course through my veins.
I grabbed the blade that was hanging on Dan’s waist and slit his throat before he could even feel my presence.
Blood gushed out of his throat, staining my hands with his dirty blood.
“How dare you?” I hissed. “I bought that gold for fifty thousand and you sold it for two thousand? Is that how low you thought of me?” My feet connect with his face again, and my body only relaxes after watching him take his last breath.
“Dispose his body, I hissed, throwing the blade to the floor.
The guards carried his body outside but I was still staring at his blood on my marble floor.
I brought out a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped off the blood on my hands before throwing it on the floor.
“I want the floor to be sparkling when I come back,” I ordered before storming out of the room.
It was late already so I bet the sex slave must have been waiting in my room. I went into the room and a rather tiny girl was in my room.
She was fidgeting out of fear when I walked in, but as soon as she noticed my attention, she seemed to be taken by surprise.
It wasn’t my presence that surprised her. Judging from how she wouldn’t stop staring, it was my face.
I needed no one to tell me how good looking I was but it shocked me that it was the first thing she noticed when others would have been begging for me to spare their lives.
Rosalie did a good job with her, I must say. She was smelling like my favourite fragrance. Her hair was shining so bright and I bet it would even be softer when I grabbed it later while she kneeled on her fit to worship me with her mouth.
Her body looks so fragile; she looks like she could break from a single touch, but I have come to realise that girls like her are always the best in bed.
Rosalie did know my taste, I must confess.
“Strip,” I commanded. Seeing how she couldn’t stop staring at me, I bet she was already dreaming about what I’d do to her. She was just like the rest of them.
Her eyes widened in shock and I saw the disbelief in them.
Strip naked and lay yourself on the bed, I repeated and she stood frozen in the same position.
Her face glinted with tears and I sighed inwardly. I hate repeating the same circle every six months. She is going to do exactly what I asked and no amount of tears would make me pity her.
She trails backwards in disbelief and I only step forward. I know how this would end. She would keep going until she hit her back on the wall. I will trap her little body and fuck her mouth for defying my orders.
“Don’t move close to me or I’ll scream!” She threatened and I almost laughed at her. She must think that her screams would change anything.
“I don’t like repeating myself,” I said sternly. “Do as you are told or you might as well learn how–to take orders the hard way.”
She shook her head frantically and just then, her back hit the wall. So predictable.
All of them are whore. They all want me to fuck them hard until they are screaming on top of their lungs. But just like the rest of them, this one too liked to be chased.
“Don’t push your luck. Do as I say,” I wrapped her hands in my hands, gripping them tight and she whimpered in pain.
They all keep forgetting that I am no gentleman.
“Answer me, bitch!” I growled, pulling her hair by force. She struggled to get out of my grip even though that was almost impossible. I released her on purpose, only for her to fall on the cold floor.
She didn’t even have strength, yet she wanted to fight me? Interesting.
“Do you have a death wish?” I leaned closer to her, but before I could see what she was up to, she broke the flower vase on my head, taking me by surprise.
She ran of the room before I could recover from the shock and I clenched my fist in anger. That crazy bitch!
“Guards! Bring me that bitch!” She just made the gravest mistake of her life and I will make her pay for it.
