HIS THREE WOMEN
JACE'S POV
"May the honor is in you." Father put his hand on my head as giving me a blessing.
"I will have it," I responded to his words. I looked at the woman. "Get your own horse. Let us go."
Father tapped my shoulder. The smile was on his face. "When you come back with Zakan's daughter. I assure you of the position. It's time for you to rule our pack."
I nodded slightly with full of courage into my eyes. "I will bring that woman here. Mark my words."
A smirk on his lips was proof that he was trusting me. I would never break that trust. It was easy to sacrifice one woman for this pack. One more thing, she was the enemy's daughter. She must be punished for her father's betrayal of our pack.
I climbed at my horse. I looked back at my father before I finally traveled. "Ven…" I gazed at the blonde woman who made me happy in the past few days.
"Yes, Prince?"
"We'll bring you to your mother, but we'll go back again to you before we move back at the pack. They should not know that I give you freedom. Then, when we go out again for the hunting we could use the Plan B, which was your fake death."
I could see how the spark of her eyes became so light in happiness. I was glad that she would see her mother.
"I hope we can have the freedom, too, Prince." Haya seemed fine today, unlike the last time. Her hair was not messy, her clothes were clean.
"You can, but one by one. Father might notice." I gave them my huge unusual smile. When I was in the pack, I felt like I was not free. Every action I did was observed by the whole Black Wolves pack unlike when I was outside. I could smile like this. I could be very friendly and met people without obstacles myself. This was the real free man was.
"Prince, can we pass by at the market? I want to buy my mother her favorite banana?" Ven's face was radiating unlike before. She looked extra pretty today or maybe I just found her more attracted to any other girl? Who knows? This woman had really something for me.
"No problem." We both looked at each other for a second with a wide grin ear by ear on our lips.
We headed to the market where people were squabbling. They were sales talking to the people to make them buy in their goods.
"You can buy my papaya. It's sweet when it gets ripe." The old woman blocked my horse. I looked back at the women.
"Do you want papaya?" I was asking them, but my eyes were for Ven.
"Yes." The small smile was on his lips. Why did my heart was pumping so loud for Ven? Did I have an admiration for her?
I glanced at the old woman. "I'll buy all of that." I gestured to Haya to get the papayaas. She placed it into our cart. "Give her the coins, Kaye." The one who held the coins was her. The cart was on Haya's horseback.
"This would be a nice snack." Haya excitedly placed all the remaining one by one on the cart.
"Yeah, Prince is so kind," Kaye whispered. I was hearing them talking about me. About how nice I was to them and to other people. For me, I was not. I just loved helping others, especially those in need.
"Prince Jace, can I move down? I want to check the bananas that my mother likes?" Ven eyes settled on my face. There was an urge for my lips to smile, but I prevented doing that. I could feel something on my chest. I had no plan to accept what was that. Surely, my heart was comfortable with her.
"Sure." I even got down on my horse and offered her my hand, so I could help her go down.
"I envy you." Haya joked at her.
Ven shook her head. "I'm fine, Prince Jace."
"Oh, it's sad for a lady to reject me." I showed her my hand again. "Come."
"Fine." She held my hand and jumped. I hugged her waist as I was putting her down.
"Thank you, Prince."
We stayed at the market for about two hours, looking for something we could bring in our travel. We would have a long journey before we finally went to Ven's house therefore we had a stopover in the woods. We had two tents: one for the girl and one for me. We build tents during the night while having a bonfire. I was with the women, hard for me to interact with because there were lots of things I could not understand about them.
I walked to the bonfire while eating the delicious Bangus where we gathered at the market. I guess for the next few days we would get fish at the river. They used all of our coins just for food. I did not protest. That was the necessary need.
When the night was getting deep. I ordered the women to fo in their tent. I would watch outside for possible danger. Later, I would have a little sleep to ensure our safety.
"Can't sleep?" Haya and her short hair. She walked towards me. She settled down beside me and joined me to watch the bonfire.
"I just wanna make sure we're safe." I put another dried wood on the flame, causing it to burst into the fire.
"Is it hard to be the heir of the pack who has the wrong tradition when it comes to treating women?" She glued her eyes at me. I found her cute among the three of them. Perhaps she was the youngest.
"Always. There are a lot of things I want to change in that pack. However, the tradition was there since I was never yet born." I blew a loud sigh. "Why are you asking?"
"I'm waiting for you to be the Alpha King. I want to stay at the pack. I have nowhere to go." She put dried woods on the flames.
"Let me look for Zarya."
"What's Zarya's mistake that makes her loathed by all the people there?"
"Nothing. It's father's." I straightly looked in front. I remembered the last night I saw her. That was the first and last night of seeing her. She was pretty for a teenage woman. Well, all of the ladies seemed beautiful to me. They had uniqueness, having different kinds of being beautiful in their own ways.
"You can sleep at my tent if you find your tent smaller for the three of you." I offered her my tent since I would sleep before dawn. I swore to protect them. I would stand for it until I die.
"Can you join me?" I was startled when she adjusted her body. She glued our lips together. Who would I refuse to kiss? I grabbed her waist and then lifted her up. I dragged her towards the tent. I learned a lot when it came to being intimate. They were my women and there was no big deal to do such things like this. I was about to shut the tent when I recognized there were two women standing outside. It was Ven and Kaye.
"Can we join?" The smirk on Kaye's lips had established.
"Really?" I chuckled a little. Then. I let them in. At least now, they were not doing this in force. It was tiring to have not just one, but three women.
