Astrid's POV
My face reddened with embarrassment as Zane groaned between my legs, the sensation sending shivers through my spine.
"I did apologize to her," he said, and I clasped my hands on my mouth to sniffle my moan. His hot breath fanned my opening, and his voice sent vibration.
He let go of my legs, and I closed them immediately as I sat up.
"Astrid. I am so sorry for his behavior," Aidan apologized.
"No, um I- he apologized, it wasn’t his fault. You don't need to apologize. I asked him to," I replied meekly as I fixed my clothes.
"Ah, I see," Aidan said as he glanced at his brother. My eyes were on the floor, I was too embarrassed to stare at any of them.
Zane walked over to his brothers, and I looked up to see them turn to leave the room.
"We will be back. Sienna will take care of you," Aidan said before they all left the room.
The moment the door shut, I felt cold. I pulled my knees under my jaw as I tried to make sense of what had happened to me earlier. What came over me? Why did I ask him to do that?
This place was doing things for me, things I didn't know if i liked or hated. One thing I knew was that it wasn't going to end well.
I was here under an agreement. I have to do it, so I can leave this place. My eyes fell on a little box on top of my table. My emotions were replaced with guilt as I swallowed hard.
My Simeon, this place had made me forget about him for a while. I should be mourning or searching.
"My lady," a familiar voice washed me out of my thoughts.
"Come in," I replied, and Sienna walked in.
I suddenly remembered what the maid had had on earlier, and I couldn't hide the frown from my face.
"That maid, from then. Did anything happen to her?" I questioned, and I noticed the shift in her gaze.
"She didn't commit a crime. She's perfectly fine," She replied briefly as she dropped a pink box on top of my bed.
"What was she saying about not trusting you? I am utterly confused," I questioned.
"You see the thing is, i worked for the previous mate of this pack. I was her personal maid, so the other maids have been blackmailing and threatening to take my position because i am working for you, claiming i would kill you because of what happened," She said.
She moved closer to me, and she pulled up her gown to show me red marks she sustained, and I placed my hands over my mouth, shocked by the sight.
"What caused them?" I asked.
"They are marks that the other girls gave me," She sobbed, and I pulled her into a hug. I completely understood what she was going through. I lived as a worthless pet in my own pack.
"Why not report to the Alpha's? I am sure they will find a way to take care of it," I inquired.
"I already requested a separate room in the quarters, and my needs have been catered to," She smiled as I pulled her away gently.
"I will draw out the bath. You have to do your duty soon."
I watched as she walked to the bathroom with two white bags in her hands. After a few minutes, she came to help me out of my clothes, and in seconds, I emerged into the milk bath.
Her hands gently massaged my hair with the coconut-scented shampoo she had gotten. I wondered what happened to their previous mate. It didn't occur to me. I got lost in my thoughts, and I didn't realize when she was done cleaning me up.
The pink box from earlier contained a white silk short dress and lacy underwear.
"What about the thousands of new clothes in my wardrobe?" I questioned as she dried my hair.
"One of the masters requested you put this on," I shrugged at the thought of it being Zane. Maybe it was Aidan.
She oiled my body with a vanilla-scented body oil. And she requested I put some balm on my inner fold.
"There," She clicked ger tongue as she finished.
I heaved a sigh as I rose from bed. As usual, I packed my hair into a ponytail. She directed me out of my room, and I heaved a sigh as I reached in front of the door.
I twisted the knob and I walked in, expecting all three of them on the bed, but it was only Zane there. His hair was in a mess as always.
I pulled at my gown as I felt his eyes burning holes around my body.
"Hm- what about the others?" I managed to say.
"Are you disappointed?" He questioned and I only nodded in response. I didn't care, less was better, I guessed.
He wasn't unclothed. He still had his clothes from earlier, he closed the laptop on his legs and he placed it on the table beside him.
I just stood in the middle of the room, unable to move, and he left the bed and walked towards me. He placed his hands underneath my jaw, and he traced down my neck and shivered at the sensation of his lips.
"I'm sorry about earlier, I'm sorry for it. . ." He paused as he moved to catch my eyes.
He lifted me off the floor, and he moved me to the bed. He kneeled between my parted legs. He pulled his shirt above his head and I actually studied it properly. He had a very defined body and a little scar under his chest.
My eyes involuntarily moved to the bulge on his trousers and my face reddened. He noticed where my eyes had landed, and a smirk appeared on his face.
"Princess, do you know how to use your mouth?”
