Ezra's POV "I'm glad that you came. I am actually waiting for you!" he said. I cleared my throat and slightly move away from Romeo. I cannot take the glares that I am receiving from Ryler. “T-thanks, sir…” I replied awkwardly. I tried to minimize my voice even I know Ryler can still hear it. I am not even sure if I am allowed to talk to someone. I am still a slave and after this, I’ll go back to my cell. “Nah. Stop calling me ‘sir’. I am not your master. You can call me ‘Romeo’,” he said. I look at him and with hesitation, I nod. He place his arm on my shoulder and motioned me to face the two. “So, what are you guys waiting for? Let’s start the party!” he said on which the crowd cheered. I shut my eyes tightly as the booming sound of the party music and the cheers of the crowd echoed on the corners of the place. Romeo was about to snatch me from them. He turn on his back to Ryler and his twin and was about to drag me with him when suddenly, I felt a warm and rough hand caught
Ryler's POV"Jeez. Calm down. I'm not going to hit you," Romeo said.I stare at her. I notice how she instinctively jump in her place and her arms was about to shield herself from Romeo's movement.My eyes travel from her face down to her body. I saw some bruises in her neck, and i remember seeing some on her neck earlier when she was naked. She's wearing a tight hugging dress that length falls just below her private. Even she's wearing a high-knee boots, the red marks and scars in her inner thigh did not passed from my eyes. I am not certian if she got those bruises from when they were chased and sold as slaves or when Laura pulled a trick on her and used the guards or maybe there is another reason. One thing I'm certain, she's being abused. In my peripheral vision, I notice how Romeo's eyes pierced into her. "Go on. I'm already hungry," I said, wnating her to exit the place and out of Romeo's sight."Alright. Let me lead you to the kitchen area--""Roman, call a servant to help h

Ezra's POV The servant slidess open the door that separates the venue of the party from the kitchen. Like how I reacted to the whole house, my jaw dropped at what was in front of me. The kitchen's interior is far from the original interior design of the house. When I first step inside this house, all I could think is how dark the color palette that they used was. However, their kitchen is different! The kitchen's interior design is gold and white. There is an empty center island where the servant went. She pressed something and my eyes widens when I saw the whole island blink in red. "You'll cook here. This will serve as your stove." Once again, my jaw drop. I do not know how many times my lips will part on this house. "This is an electric sensory stove," she said. She probably realized that I am too amazed. I think my ignorance is evident on my face. I look at her and awkwardly chuckle. "O-Ohh.. is that so...? I'm sorry, but what's your name again?" I asked. I don't re
Ezra’s POV I am waiting for Jenny so I can cook the barbeque already. It’s been a couple of minutes since she left and I do nothing here other than stare at nothingness and listen to the faded music of the party music in the background. I heard a knock on the door. I thought it was Jenny but it was just another servant wearing the same uniform as her. The girl looked pale. She’s crossing her arms over her chest as if she’s covering her body from someone. Unconsciously, my eyes roam around her body. I notice a slight bruise on her arm and a cut on the side of her lips. She was in a hurry when she came in, but pauses when she saw me inside the kitchen. I stretches out my lips to offer her a smile although I am not sure if it was the gesture that she need. I fix my stance by standing properly and made a few steps closer to her. “H-hi. I’m E-Ezra,” I said and offered my hand. I stretch out my hand with an open palm, asking for a handshake from her. But she only avoided her gaze. I
Ezra’s POV It’s been minutes since Mica and Master Shiro left the kitchen however, the face of Mica keeps flashing on my mind. The way her eyes blinked uncontrollably at me as if she was asking for help. After the scene earlier, I think I already know why she’s quivering in fear and where the bruises all over her body and the cut on the side of her lips came from. I bite my lower lip and shut my eyes close. How could she ask for my help? Does she think I am someone she can ask for help with? I sigh. To be honest, not to discredit what she’s been experiencing, but I do think her position is better than mine. At least she’s not being asked to carry a child for nine months and vanish. I stared at the whole kitchen. Despite the bitter environment that I’ll face here in this place, I still could not stop myself from being amazed by all the house designs and the place itself. I don’t see such places way back in the village. This place feels like something I’ll see on the screen of the t
Ezra’s POV“Scared?” he asked with a smirk on his face. He started walking towards me. I did not notice that I keep on stepping backward until my back hit the edge of the countertop.I gulp. He is smirking at me, but his closing our gap makes me uncomfortable.My hand started quivering and the small strands of hair at the back of my neck stands.I could not move anymore due to the sink at my back and I do not want to remove my eyes from him, scared of what he might do.He leaned forward and tilt his head with the same smirk plastered on his face. He then places his hands on my side to jail me in between.He looked at me intently and his eyes dropped on my lips and crawled back to my eyes.“Hmm… I’m right,” he murmured.I feel like something heavy was lifted on my chest when he fixes his stance and withdrew from me.He then inserted his hands into his pocket. “Ryler is lucky to have a slave like you. You are beautiful.”My lips parted at what he said. I look at him with a confused expr
Ezra’s POV“S-Sir…?” I uttered under my breath.I immediately stand from squatting and walk towards him. His eyes are pierced at me. I cannot see any emotions from him which made me more nervous.I heard he is a skilled werewolf. After all, he won’t be an alpha if he isn’t. I’m scared that he might be hearing my racing heart.“Wazzup, Ryler!” Romeo greeted in a subtle mocking way. He landed his gaze on me before looking back to Ryler. “You got an interesting girl right there. You did not say she’s the daughter of—”“What took you so long?” Ryler asked and cut off his friend. He then darted his cold-gazing eyes at me.“U-Uhh—we grilled many cut meats—”“And why? How many are we who’s going to eat? Why? You want to eat as many as you can?”I gulp. I aggressively shake my head, disagreeing with what he said. I do not even know that I got to eat too. I thought it was only for them.“N-no, m-master…” I replied. I glued my eyes on the floor, staring at my foot and refusing to meet his eyes.
