NOAH.“So I’ve been told all the preparations are done; we are just waiting for your order.”Faintly, I heard Varg explain the progress of our plan for Lord Barlow, but I couldn’t focus at all. My mind wandered to the strange occurrence last night. I’d never forget the agony and feeling of helplessness that attacked me.I didn’t know how it happened, but I was attacked once I lost to deep slumber. It did not directly on my physical body, yet the impact left me breathless and almost delirious. The pain wasn’t the worst part of everything. Seeing Violette attacking me in my dream pained me the most.When I asked her about it, she and I were shocked. Despite knowing someone was messing with my head, I couldn’t help but ask her. Fortunately, Violette could handle the situation better than I and decided to nurse me until my sanity returned.This morning we talked about it again, then Violette told me something about a dream walker. She explained it briefly and claimed that not many witches
NOAH.I could feel Violette’s hand turn clammy as she watched three lifeless bodies before her eyes. I pulled her gently so I could be a barrier between her and the gruesome view.My servants’ bodies were brought to the hall, and I had ordered anyone to continue their work and never to speak a word about this incident. According to Diana, the three of them were found missing around twenty minutes, then someone found them at the back of my place. They were already dead then, so none could guess who was the culprit.Turning back, I faced Violette, slipped my hand to the back of her head, and forced her to lift her head. I tried to smile, giving her the reassurance that everything was under my control.“It’s okay. I have planned to kill them, anyway. No one will know about it. I’ll let everyone know that they disobeyed me and decided to punish them. You are innocent.”Putting her hand on top of mine, Violette shook her head vehemently. “I’m not innocent. I want them dead. I wished for the
VIOLETTE. Noah had told me that Dahlia and Willa had arrived early in the morning, which was why I ran excitedly to the maid’s quarter because they were there, busy familiarizing themself with the rest of the slaves and maids. According to Noah, Dahlia would take Mrs. Opiana’s position, while Willa would take Diana’s, then Diana would work under Dahlia because Noah wanted to ensure that people around us were trustworthy. The purpose of letting Diana under Dahlia’s eyes was to judge whether the young she-wolf could be trusted. I didn’t know what exactly Noah’s plan and I very much preferred to be kept in the dark since I didn’t want to lie in front of Olivia. “Ah, Luna Olivia.” My steps faltered. She hadn’t asked for me, which was weird since she was so fond of our current ‘friendship.’ That made me wonder whether she had encountered a problem. “Ah, forget about it, Vio. She might want to take a break from meeting a lowlife slave like you. Right. It must be the reason. I don’t have
NOAH.“What are you two talking about?” Nash asked with his gaze stayed focused on me. “It’s rare to see you interacting with nobles, so something must be piquing your interest.”Faking a laugh, I hit Nash’s shoulder playfully, but enough to make him flinch. “What are you talking about, brother? Lord Barlow is my mate’s father. It’s normal for me to talk with him since we will become family soon. It would be weird if we were acting like strangers, wouldn’t we, Lord Barlow?”“That’s right, My King. Noah and I never had a chance to have a deep talk with each after the announcement during the Welcoming ball. Noah come to me and ask for dinner along with Flora.”Nash bobbed his head in understanding, but I knew he didn’t buy it. Great, that was exactly what I wanted.“Dinner….Mind if I join? The more, the merrier, right?”“You are always welcome to join, brother. It’s actually even better. We can have a family dinner before the mating ceremony,” I replied, pretending to be excited about th
NOAH.Violette and I went out of the guest house when the sun had already high in the sky. After getting a pass to enter, we were escorted to a magnificent building just right beside the pack house. I expected us to stay in the pack house, but Killian’s pack was rich enough to build a grand guest house.As Kasha had claimed, the Bloodvenom pack was flourishing. I didn’t remember the facilities in this pack to be this extravagant before. Under the former Alpha, the building used to look shabby. Not only that, but I also noticed that the safety around the area had improved.I guess siding with Nash brought many benefits to Killian.“Let’s join them.” I pointed at the crowds gathering in the spacious hall.“Are we playing today?” Violette asked as she took in her surrounding.“Not yet. Nobles from Lordslane and several big packs will play tomorrow. For today we are here to observe.”“Tomorrow will be my death match,” Violette said helplessly.I lowered my head, then gently squeezed her s
NOAH.The Rules of Slave Hunt.1. Prey on the hunt is the slave, and the hunter is the rogue. Additional prey, such as personal maids, side women, and even mates, can be included as long as all Masters on each round make a unanimous vote to let them join.2. Each day consists of ten rounds. Masters can decide which round they’d like to join and write it down on paper. The announcer will take the paper before the first round begins.3. In each round, the player consists of five participants. There are five entrance gates to the maze arena, but only one exit gate. Therefore, the fastest one will be the winner. The other four will be kept in the maze for another twenty minutes. If the hunters got them, they’d die. If they managed to survive, they could leave.4. Each participant may use any means to hinder their competitors from succeeding. Weapons will be provided before entering the arena.5. Masters cannot stop the play when all players have stepped into the arena.6. A secret help fro
VIOLETTE.A mess.Under Noah’s mischievous hands, my perfectly braided hair was unraveled, leaving whips of blonde strands fanned out across the pillow. One long curl fell over my damp forehead. Then, the skirt of my dress was pulled until my waist, and he placed his knee in between my legs, putting the perfect pressure on my core.“I can’t. No more. I’ll….faint if you keep torturing me.” I stammered, trying to move away.“What torture are you talking about, my dear?” He grinned like an innocent boy, yet I knew better. “I’m giving you the reward you deserve.”After saying that, his hand went to tug the left side of my shoulder until my bosom was almost exposed. “Should I give them a kiss too?”My eyes widened, which made him laugh.“I hate you.”Noah’s grip on my waist tightened, and I gasped for air as he pressed his knees hard against my wet sex, pushing my back into a feverish arch and my chest out toward him.“Don’t say a word you don’t mean. I know you mean the opposite.” Noah’s l
Violette. "Now, the last round begins."As soon as the announcer declared the start of my round, the gate before me creaked open, showing an endless maze. Seeing the arena from above was far different than up close. I had thought it would be easy to find the exit door, but now I'm not sure anymore. "All the players, please enter." I looked over my shoulder for the last time, founding Noah smiling at me and mouthed 'stay save' toward me, then I took a step to enter the maze. "Please enjoy the hunt."I crept cautiously down the trail, straining my ears to catch any sound of my opponent and the hunter. My gaze roved across my surroundings as I took a sharp left in the maze. Then I heard Triana's menacing voice,"Where the devil is that slave?" Instantly I ducked into hiding, my heart hammering with terror. "Lady Barlow will punish me if I fail to kill her today, ugh."I didn't bother to listen anymore and immediately took another route. Just when I thought I was already safe, the mena
