Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Xander’s POVI “Your majesty,” Nifra said. “I have the reports as you had requested.”

I looked up from the pile of papers laid out in front of me up at Nifra. She had her head bowed, her hands clasped in front of her.

“Are they still together?” I asked through grit teeth.

Nifra nodded. “Again and again he convinces her to leave her duties and go out on these walks with him! She has done the same today. What are we going to do about this, your majesty I rubbed my temples. I couldn’t fall sick, but I swear right now I feel a headache brewing inside my head.

Caldan and Zayn’s horrible mate. I hadn’t ever seen this coming. The day that my brother would be seen hanging around a slave. To the point of abusing his powers just to free her from her duties.

“Send for Caldan.” I said to Nifra.

“Yes your majesty She left and returned a few minutes later with Caldan.

“I see you’ve fixed up the place,” He commented dryly as he walked into my study. He looked around, nodding to himself. “You should really watch your tongue, Nifra snapped in annoyance. She glared at him, her lips in a deep frown. Caldan turned to her and smiles. “Do you hear my brother complaining about my tone?”

“That’s enough,” i said, before this would turn into a full blown argument between them. It wasn’t difficult. One minute they’d be across the room and the next they’d be at each other’s throats crying for blood. “Nifra, thank you. I’ll send for you later.”

She bowed, but not before she flashed a cold look at Caldan, Without any further words she turned and left.

“Will you sit down?” I said to Caldan. He leisurely strolled around my studio, touching things and nodding to himself.

The roses, were they your idea? You’re thinking of romance?” He asked, cocking his head to the vases of roses standing in a corner. Red roses, white roses, and the rare black ones.

They roses were placed there by Nifra, to supposedly brighten the atmosphere.

“The roses are none of your concern, Caldan. Sit. We have a lot to discuss.”

“Does this have to do with the Shadow pack and their shenanigans? I have it under control. They will be sending over the new offering before the week runs out and...”

“It’s not about the shadow pack. Caldan, sit your ass down.”

Caldan stared at me, his brow raised in surprise at the casual tone I used on him. “It’s brother to brother today, right?”

“Yes,”

“Very well,” He said. He walked over to my desk and took a seat. Be flashed me a smile. “What is the matter?”

That slave girl that you’re hanging around what exactly do you think you’re doing?”

Tue, Nov 5 Chapter 19 For a moment, he didn’t say anything. He stared at me, his eyes void of any emotion. Sometimes I felt a spark of annoyance with how shamelessly he could look at me and hide his emotions from me.

“Her name is Sabrina, not slave. Caldan said.

“I don’t care for her name. I’m telling you to stay off from her.”

“Why?”

You’re interrupting her duties. She wasn’t brought her to lounge around and do nothing all day.”

“I’m sure you can get someone else to play the role she’s playing, someone else to slave away at the harem house. Why is that so hard to do? I get that perhaps you have something against her, but I don’t. I enjoy her company, she makes this place a whole lot easier to deal with.”

His words struck a cold in my cold heart. I frowned, deciding tactfully to ignore everything he said and focus on his last Statement. “Are you saying you don’t like it here?”

He blinked, “That’s not the point. He suddenly sighed. His shoulders slumped for a few seconds, hesitation flashed in his face.

He looked like he was about to say something then decided against it last minute. He looked at me, his face a cool mask. “What I’m saying is, I don’t know why you hate her so much.”

“She’s a terrible person, Caldan. That’s all you need to know.”

Caldan looked at me, his eyes lost and so blue that for a second all I could see was the tiny baby my father presented before me and said; “this is your brother, we’re calling him Caldan. Do you like him?”

I shoved the memories out of my mind.

“I don’t want you to destroy yourself.” I said calmly. “Leave the slave alone, Caldan. You are my brother, you are royalty of the highest breed. She is not. Whatever you think you’re doing, whatever this fling is, end it.

Caldan met my eyes, defiant, cold. ‘Is that an order, your majesty?”

An order. Laughable. I have never ordered my brother to do anything. While I’m aware that I can simply end this, compel him and tell him what to do, I can’t being myself to do it. I want him to have free will as much as possible.

Him being here benefits me too.

“It’s an advice,” I said. “I don’t want you near her.”

“In that case, I’ll decide if to take your advice or not.

He’s not listening to me, My words are flying over his head, none of them taking root.

Frustration sparked inside of me. What does he even see in that slave?! That deplorable woman who does nothing but–lie over and over again? Thinking about it makes me want to grab my brother by his shoulders and shake some damn sense into him.

He’s young. I tell myself. He’s bound to make mistakes. I should let him be, I shouldn’t try to dictate his life.

But this is Zayn’s mate we’re talking about.

“You may go, I said. This was pointless. Nothing was achieved at all.

Caldan got to his feet. “This has been a most wonderful conversation, brother. His lips twitched.

“Get out 25 195736 22:03 Tue, Nov 5 G Chapter 19 “Okay fine! No need to be angry! Damn!” He huffed. Tm going now.” He walked out, the door closed behind him.

That had gone to hell.

1 mindlinked with Nifra and told her to come. She returned with a tray of aromatic tea “You didn’t have to,” I said.

She poured the tea. The smell of the herbs heady. “I figured you’d be stressed after your conversation with him. It doesn’t always end well.” She said with a sigh. She served me the tea and stepped back. “What did he say?”

“You can guess.” I took a sip of the tea. I can’t understand Nifra’s obsession with tea. It’s just colored water. I recognized this one it’s supposed to be peppermint or something.

– –

“That boy,” She scoffed. “He doesn’t know anything”

I lowered the tea cup and turned to Nifra. “Did she do something?”

“Nothing she hasn’t done before” She looked at the e tea cup c cup on the table. “That didn’t do much “It didn’t.” I admitted.

She sighed and closed her eyes briefly. “Shall I send for Blair?”

“Before that, how about what I asked you to look into?”

“Yes, my apologies, it skipped my mind.

“What did you find?”

“She doesn’t have any traces of vampires in her lineage. According to the scouts, both parents are wolves. She grew up surrounded by wolves and has never left her pack.

I nodded, processing what Nifra had said. That was a complete dead end. The mystery of how she resisted my compulsion still stood How can a mere wolf, an omega at that, resist my orders?

Nothing made sense anymore.

“Send for Blair. Tell her to come prepared.” I said.

Nifra bowed. She took the tray of tea with her and left.

I’m sure I have a headache now.

I Talking to Caldan had done nothing but make me agitated. Do have to get rid of that slave? Send her far away from this place?

As much as it sounds tempting enough, I don’t want to do that. She Has a debt to pay for the year long crimes she committed against my pack, and against those young girls. Civing her a merciful death is too kind for a person as herself.

A knock sounded on the door, “Your majesty, may I come in?”

Enter Blair walked in, a smile on her face. “Your majesty.” She said and bowed, lifting her skirt too high for a courtesy, She raised her head up and walked over to me, her hips swaying and a pre in her step?

22:03 Tue, Nov 5 GD Chapter 19 Is she trying to hard to be cute right now? I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

“How have you been, your majesty?” She asked. She walked closer and stood in front of the desk. Without waiting for me to reply, she continued speaking. “It’s been so long since you last sent for me, the joy I felt today. I can’t compare it to anything!”

She’s trying too hard.

She crossed over the desk to my side. She tilted her head to the wide and pouted. I missed you so much.”

“I know you did,” I replied, hoping it would shut her up.

It didn’t “Really?! That’s wonderful! I had the most wonderful day today. I finally completed that oil painting I told you about, I’m waiting for the last layers to dry and I’ll bring it to you.”

I nodded, a small sound of acknowledgement in my throat.

“And the resin flowers 1 made are also so lovely! I turned them into earrings but...I don’t have them on me on me right now.” She touched her ears, a look of hurt in her eyes. “Oh but that’s fine! I’ll wear it next time. Silly me, I’ve spent the whole time talking haven’t I?

I didn’t know what to say to that She moved closer to me and went down on her knees. Good thing she remembered this time to keep her hands to herself. “How may I be of help today, your Majesty?”

“Get up, I commanded.

She rose to her feet and began taking her clothes off. As she slid the gown down her body, she looked at me with a lustful gaze. I glanced down at her body, she had a stunning body.

1 rose to my feet and walked over to her. Her eyes gazed up at me expectantly. I turned her around and pushed her into the desk She had the mind to fucking giggle.

I rolled my eyes.

She wiggled her hips, a low whine in the back of her throat. I touched her slit, a grunt of satisfaction in my throat when my hand came off stained with her slick. She also remembered to follow orders and prepare herself which in other words meant to finger herself in preparation because I didn’t care for bullshit like foreplay. The last time she didn’t, safe to say it didn’t end well for her. I unbuckled my belt just enough to get my cock out and rub it along her wet folds.

“Your majesty!” She called, her voice low and breathy. She pushed her hips back.

“Behave I warned, smacking her hard and she whined, back arching and legs trembling.

She moaned, her body trembling under my hold. I slid into her, eliciting a long drawn out moan from her.
