Chapter 33
ASHER
.
I have been sitting down in my study for over three hours now doing nothing in particular.
The thoughts of last night lingered on already aroused mind. The more I try to draw deep from this succulent but addictive leaf, I more I spiral out of control and try to subdue myself from needing more.
Alexia.
Even her name tastes like an addictive wine on my tongue. I cannot help but desire her. I need her. It has become more than a feverish need. Almost a necessity.
A knock on my door stirs me from my short reverie and with a low voice, I order the person in.
The door swings open and Celine walks in. She stands in front of me and drops down on her knees before my feet.
"Alpha king!"
"What is it Celine? I do not have time for this" a deep gruttal groan escapes my lips as I moved a bit further away from where she stood.
"You didn't send for me last night. Is something wrong or did something happen?"
"I didn't send for you yesterday because I didn't have any use for you Celine." I reply begrudgingly.
She raises her head to look at me like I'm said something borne in an abomination but I don't care. I don't need her neither does my wolf. We have both taken an interest in something else that excites us and sadly, we didn't have any use for her now.
"My lord" she calls out in disbelief. "Did I do something wrong?"
"If that is all Celine then please leave my chambers." I dismissed angrily and she flinched.
She stood up slowly like she didn't want to leave but sadly, she has to. My word is law and must be strictly carried out.
She took one look at me before exiting my chambers the same way that she came.
This is why you never give a slave the opportunity of dining with the masters. They usually take it for granted in the very end.
She leaves and I get a quick message that something drastic has happened and that my presence is needed at the pack's council meeting because they are all waiting for me. The stupid messenger could give me proper details because according to him, he also knows nothing about it. So I quickly get dressed and made my way towards the courtroom for the meeting but not after sending Fred a message that he should be present as well.

CELINE
.
I knew from the very look in his eyes that Asher is seeing someone else other than me.
Even though Asher is cold-hearted and considered a tyrant, I still loved his cold and demeaning nature. I also love the respect that comes with being his woman. I loved the fact that I was always the first person he calls whenever he has a problem and wants to unleash his demons. I liked that no one else was able to take my place and come between us.
It excited me that I was the only woman.
Asher has been my master ever since he evaded my pack and took me as his slave away from my former master.
Unlike my former master, Asher is young, well built, Strong and overly a fearless leader and being by his side comes with a lot of perks but now what I've always envisioned is far from what Is happening.
And it all started the very day that slave arrived in our land. I saw the lust and look in Asher's eyes when he stared at her. I saw how he wanted her. At first I ignored because I wanted to believe that it was nothing serious but then she visited his room last night.
And if Asher sent for her then it only means that they have something going on. It only means that he slept with her. And he has the audacity to tell her that he had no use for her anymore.
Useless! She'll pay dearly and I'll make sure to hit her where it hurts the most and that's a promise. By the time I'm done, she'll know when to back off when she isn't needed.
I entered my bedroom and went to sit down on my bed as my mind wandered off to what has happened earlier. My wolf was a lot calmer than usual and sadly, I do not understand why. Cree is always scratching and biting and always trying to come to the surface when she senses trouble or feels threatened but she is oddly quiet.
My door opens and my handmaiden walks in with a tray of food and a jug of water.
I might be a slave but I have class. After Asher declared me his mistress, I was given a bit of higher positions from the other slaves.
The woman he sleeps with cannot mingle with filth so I was given my own bedroom and treated with respect.
"Your breakfast my lady" Cora announced as she approached me with the tray containing my food but I was too angry and frustrated to eat.
"Leave it and get out!" I lashed out through gritted teeth and she dropped the tray and almost ran outside of the bedroom but I stopped her.
"Wait!"
She stopped in her tracks and did an almost swift turn to meet my gaze.
"Yes my Lady"
"I would like you to do something for me and I would like it to be between the both of us. If someone else hears about this in anyway then I promise you that you would loose your ability to speak. Do you understand?" I asked fiercely and she nodded almost immediately.
"Good." I say as I stare at her with intent before proceeding "Find out all you can about the new maid."
"Alexia?"
"You know her. Great, thank you for saving me the troubles of explaining. Keep a close eye on her and report back anything that seems suspicious. If you can do that then I promise to reward you diligently"
"Yes, my lady"
I waved my hands and she leaves. Now that the trap has been set, it's time for the bait to fall for it. A small smile crosses my lips at the thought of what would happen when I finally get her where I want her.
