Chapter 12 Flawless

Chapter 12 Flawless
Selene 

The past five days had been hell for me and I was simply doing what anyone in my shoes would do. I endured. It was hell from Ravenna. I did the most work among other slaves. All of them would retire to bed, but I would still be working. I got the smallest food and that left me starving almost all the time.  I did not even get water to drink. 

Ravenna was so hell-bent on making me miserable and she was just a step away from achieving that because I was actually losing my mind because of that woman. She was annoying and was on my neck. I woke up very early and that was because she'd always come to knock on my door to drag me out and then she would make me work. I'd serve Alpha Dain, clean his room, and then return to do other chores. It was so hectic that I did not even get time to breathe. 

As for Dain, I had only seen him once and I knew that very soon, I would be knocking on his door to offer myself. In fact, the day had come because I had healed. Completely. My wounds did not take time to heal as I had expected them to. No matter how hard I tried to suppress my magic, it seemed like my body was refusing to be tamed. It worked on its own and healed itself. That was so unfortunate for me and things were even harder. 

That morning when Ravenna came to knock on my door, to drag me out to work as usual. I told her that I was not going to work. Alpha Dain had asked for me and I was going straight to his chambers. She looked at me so sternly and glared so hard. But she said nothing and stormed off. I slammed the door once Ravenna left and I went straight to sleep. I did not wake up until about 5 hours later and it was then that I had my bath. I cleaned myself up and then went to Dain’s chambers. 

I would be fine. “You are going to be fine.” I kept muttering those words to myself as I walked there. I was going to be fine. I had to be. It was just sex. A means to an end. But as much as I tried to distract myself that it was just sex which meant nothing, I knew that it was nothing. It was my first time and it kind of hurt that I was going to give my purity to a man like Dain. 

But I reminded myself that it was a sacrifice. That was something I would do for people I loved. I did not mind losing that one part of myself if it meant getting my revenge. 

“My lord.” I knocked once on the door once I got there, reminding myself to behave. The plan was to kill Dain. And to kill him, I had to get closer to him and earn his trust.  That would be hard, but sex was a step closer and from Dain sources, I could find that bastard Julian. And my sister whom I believed was still alive. 

I just had to get under Dain’s shell. And if he was impatient enough to make me a slave the last time I refused him, it was time that I started accepting his decisions. 

“Who is there?” His deep voice caused my body to shiver and I took a deep breath. 

“It's Selene, my lord,” I replied. 

“Breakfast had been sent to my room.” I had some ruffling on the other side of the door and if I was not mistaken, he was with someone. I could swear that I heard a soft feminine gasp. 

“I'm not here to serve you breakfast. You asked me to come. If I had healed.” I deadpanned on the word healed. Maybe he had forgotten that he asked me to do that. 

Silence reigned on the other side for some minutes and then he spoke again, “Come inside.” 

“Here goes nothing.” I breathed out and then opened the door before walking into the room. Once I did, I paused by the door because I did not expect to see what I saw inside.

He was with a woman. A woman who was fully naked and Dain had just a piece of clothing covering him. If he was busy with another, why ask for me? 

“Lesve.” He ordered. An order that was not for me. But the woman instead. She looked like whore. One who was very much hungry for his dick. I didn't even think that she had gotten it yet. While Dain looked bored, she look unsatisfied and was not happy with the fact that he was sending her out.

She grabbed her clothes and walked out of the room. 

It was just me and Dain left in the room and I made sure to avoid his gaze. I kept staring at the ground while my heart kept beating so loudly. “You will only report here every night.” I swallowed, but I nodded.

“And once you come here, undress. Do not wait for me to tell you so. If you do not find me, wait.” His tone held every bit of command and I slowly nodded my head. 

It's just sex Selene. It's just sex. I kept repeating in my head. I would be fine. I wanted to believe so. 

“Strip.” He commanded and unlike the first time, I did not hesitate. I slowly began to strip. I did not stop until every piece of clothing on me fell on the ground. The only thing left was the collar on my neck. It was funny how I had gotten used to it and sometimes I would forget that I had it there. 

“Turn around.” I did and I felt so vulnerable. I was shaking so much and I flinched when I felt Dain right behind me and flinched again when his fingertips trailed on my back. 

“Your skin is flawless. It has just been five days. Why is there no single mark here?” My heart jumped.
