Chapter 29

“Why the fuck do you have an alarm so early? Bloody thing woke me up, and no-one should be up this early.” The irritating whine was worse than the screeching of the clock. I wanted to swat her so badly with one of those fly zappers, on her face.

“Oh, shut it. The last thing I want to hear at this time of the morning is your annoying voice.” Reid groaned, sleep still masking his mutters as he criticized the bimbo.

“What did you just say to me?” In a flash she sat up, glaring at the unmoving lump still hidden under the duvet next to her.

“You deaf too? I called you annoying.” Reid obviously did not give a rat's arse about who he hurt then, it was not just me.

“Are you kidding me? You better talk nicely to me. Remember who it is that’s going to be your Luna and services you?” How low was this tramp willing to go? Now trying to seduce and blackmail her future Alpha with sex and a new position within the pack was just absurd.

Reid stirred, “You will never be my Luna. Now, get the fuck outta here, your...services are no longer needed, I can easily get them elsewhere.”

“But - but I thought that you enjoyed it last night?” She stuttered, but was back to whining again, and I could not stop myself from snorting. “Keep your trap shut, or I’ll put a fucking muzzle on you.”

With that, Reid launched himself up and on top of her, his hand around her throat and squeezing so that the harlot’s face had started to turn red.

“Don’t you understand simple English? Get. Out. Of. My. Room. Now!” He did not shout, but the sheer tone alone should have conveyed the right message this time. I hope it did, because my blood had run cold, and I needed her to leave before his mood became any worse and my problem.

The second that he had let go of her, she used her wolf speed and was out from underneath him, off the bed and trying to put her dress back on.

“Don’t bother, just go.” Reid wanted her gone urgently and was all for lighting a fire under her skinny arse.

Hugging her dress to her chest and it barely covering her, she darted towards the door but halted in front of me. I gazed up, and she had the look of pure hatred on her face when her hand dashed out and she swung at my face.

I hissed when pain burst and radiated from my cheek. My blood streamed from the new wounds that she made when she drew her claws at the very last second.

I lunged to my feet to challenge the bitch, but she was gone, the door slamming as she finally left.

Standing there seething at a closed door, Reid’s voice pulled my attention away and back into the room.

“If you’re trying to seduce me then it won’t work. I’m still not gunna accept you.” His voice was sleep free now, but it was as though he was speaking a foreign language; he had left me so confused. I squinted at him, only to earn a scowl in return. “What is it with women today, are they unable to understand basic words? Put some fucking clothes on!”

I looked down, only to see my bare chest, nipples hard and standing to attention, saluting the world on this fine morning. I shrieked and leapt for the abandoned t-shirt that I had left on the floor in my desperation during the night. I scrambled to put it on as fast as possible, not hesitating to hear anything else from him until I was covered up.

“I wasn’t trying to seduce you. Thanks to you both, I was having a temporary issue with my temperature last night.” I snapped at him, wanting to immediately clear up the misunderstanding, but without telling him the truth of the hell that I had gone through.

“Whatever you say, chic.” The smarmy, sarcastic bastard had the audacity to give me a sly smile as he slid off the bed and waltzed to the bathroom butt naked, his well-spent dick swaying limply between his legs.

As soon as he shut the door, I put the v’s up with my fingers to temporarily satisfy my murderous urges; the arrogant prick was really getting on my tits.

It was a while before Reid emerged from bathroom with a small burst of steam as he opened the door, a slight wet sheen on his skin from the hot shower that he had and adding to his alure. I could not keep my eyes off him as he moved about the room silently, getting dressed into gym wear and ready for the day.

As he was trying to put his watch on, and without looking at me, he spoke, “Stop gawking and clear last night's shit from the table. Then go in the shower, you wreak of sweat.”

I hopped to it without question, over to the table and picked up the crusted plates, a lavish amount of food still left over. My stomach rumbled like the thunder cast through skies on a stormy night and probably loud enough for the whole packhouse to hear.

“Just eat something, damn it.” Reid snapped, seemingly pissed off at the possible idea of my stomach being an inconvenience to him.

As I loaded the trolley with the dirty plates, I grabbed a stale spring roll and nibbled at one end whilst I continued to move items. The amount that was left was insane and wasteful.

Unless...he did it on purpose? So that there would be enough for me to eat something?

Nah, no chance he would be so considerate, the fucking pig.

I took the trolley to the doors and shoved it out, making it bang slightly on the wall opposite and the dishes slide and clash on the slippery surface. When I slammed the door closed and turned around, Reid was right there to meet me with a right hook to my already marred cheek. Being so weak, I fell to the ground, jolting my weak muscles and joints. He hit me again, and again, three times altogether.

By the time Reid had finished, my lip had split, my blood was dripping onto the floor, and my cheekbone instantly started swelling.

“Don’t be so goddess damn careless! I don’t have you in here just so that you can throw your tantrums. So, pack it the fuck in. You are here to be broken into the pieces that I think that you deserve to be in.” He was snarling, the rage in his eyes trying to force me into submission.

I stared back at the animal in front of me, not scared in the least at the prospect of facing its wrath. But I did think that I ought to take his caution with heed. If hitting me or fucking someone else was the worst that he could do? Then, bring it on. I am a big girl and I can take it.

The motherfucker was glaring, unwavering in his will to overpower me when someone knocked on the bedroom door. It was only a fragile knock, and if it was not for our wolf hearing then neither of us would have heard it.

I broke eye contact and went to see who was knocking – I am the servant here after all.

It was different female wolf to last night, but this one was just as scared, thin, dirty and underdressed.

“Thank you.” I gave her my gratitude before bringing in the trolley full of different lush smelling foods in abundance again.

I was sloppy transferring the plates full of bacon, sausages, eggs, croissants and so much more, plus an excess of juices and coffee, dragging my chain around whilst it was rattling behind me – all of it just to piss him off a little more.

As I got to the bathroom door, Reid called out to me and surprisingly when I stopped. He unlocked the padlock holding the collar in place and took the whole thing off.

“You have until I finish my breakfast. So, you have about ten minutes to be showered, dressed and ready to go back in this thing. Am I clear?” He indicated to the collar as the ‘thing’ that was going back on.

“Crystal.” I lowered my head before disappearing from his sight, into the bathroom and shutting the door to get a little bit of space from him.

I got my shit done a.s.a.p. and was out front and centre before the ten-minute mark was up. I hovered by the bathroom door waiting silently, giving him space to finish his food in peace. When done, he licked his fingers clean, downed the last of his coffee and strutted over to me.

Whilst he chained me back up, he decided now would be a good time to introduce a few of my other tasks.

“I’m going to the training fields today. Whilst I am gone, you are to clean this whole room. That includes changing the bedding, the floors, polishing, tidying things out of place and so on. Am I making myself clear?” Once he finished fiddling with my bindings, he stepped back and glared at me.

Mockingly, I saluted him and said, “yes sir.” he just shook his head and left.
