AURORA'S POV
" Let's talk about the rules now , shall we ?" he mutters sitting beside me.
" If you break any of these my kitten then you'll have to bear some consequences so try your best to be on the good side." he mumbles caressing my cheek.
I stare at his devilish handsome face not knowing what else to do.
" You'll hav-" he gets cut off by a knock on the door.
" Alpha , Lady Nica has called for you." a maid mutters peeking in.
Aries sighs looking at the door as if weighing his options to go or not.
" Tell her I'm busy." he says in an authoritative voice.
" Yes alpha." she mutters walking away closing the door behind her.
" As I was saying , you'll get some rules and some rewards at the end of the day if you dont make any mistakes but if you make any then you'll receive punishments." he says placing his hand on mine.
A whine escapes my lips as I pout looking up at him. Would the punishments include whipping like master used to ? I dont want to get them , they're too painful.
" Awww my baby , I wont hurt you unless you ask it yourself." he whispers kissing my forehead.
A warm feeling settles in me as his lips linger on my forehead. The last forehead kiss I had was from my brother which was years ago.
" Aries." The door bursts open as a woman walks in seething with anger.
Aries sighs sitting up straight looking at the beautiful woman fuming in anger in front of him.
She is wearing a red gown with a fur shawl , her black hair is pulled up in a tight bun with two red roses beautifully pinned in.
Her brown eyes widen as she takes in my presence , her face holds surprise but it soon vanishes as a smirk crawls up on her red plump lips.
" I see you've got yourself a new pet , huh." she smiles.
" Its none of your concern Monica." Aries growls. A shiver runs down my spine by his deep voice but Monica seems unaffected by it at all.
" Oh come on baby , you know you'll crawl back to me after you're bored with this piece of sh*t." she smirks pointing at me.
I chew my lips looking down at my lap where Aries has his hand on mine. The insult was long forgotten as my heart fluttered with happiness by his touch.
" Monica , at this point it looks like you're bored of your husband and are crawling back to me. Isnt he entertaining enough now ?" Amusement dances in his tone.
" Dont forget who I am and what I can do Aries." Monica hisses clearly offended by his words.
" Monica , just do me a favor and get out of here. I'm busy right now and I really dont need nuisance here." Aries sighs in a bored tone.
" I came here to talk to you , but it would he better if you get to the the meeting room now or else you'll regret it. See you soon Aries , don't take too long.By the way , if you get enough of her just pass her to my wing , she's a cute little thing anyway." Monica smirks as her eyes rake my body.
I uncomfortably shift closer to Aries clutching his hand tightly in mine.
" She isnt that type Monica. She's not interested in foursomes. " Aries mutters.
Huh ? What's a foursome ?
" Oh don't worry little one , I'll teach you alot of things. She seems considerably tight enough to satisfy my needs." Monica smiles at me.
" Monica I said she's not interested means a clear no. Leave her out of this and don't f*cking dare to think of using her in your dirty games or else you'll see the beast in me." Aries growls.
" Someone is really possessive of their pet , huh. Never mind , you know I always get what I want." she smiles cat-walking out of the room.
Aries closes his eyes and takes deep breaths to calm himself down. I can't help but stare at his face , no one has ever spoken up for me since the day I was given away to master. It felt so warm and loveable to see him trying to protect me.
" Look here kitten , don't talk to her at any point and stay away from here as much as you can." Aries says cupping my face in his hands.
So I have to practice social distancing with Monica. But I don't understand if she's the virus or I am.
" You got it ?" he asks raising his perfect eyebrows.
I nod chewing my lips as his eyes trail down to my lips. He gulps licking his lips with his gaze stuck on my lips. He sighs looking away as if having a battle with himself.
" Let's get you cleaned up." he whispers standing up.
" You need a shower. I'll just go fix up a bath for you. Stay here and call me if you need something." he instructs as I nod.
He opens the first door and walks in closing it behind him.
I sigh observing the room closely , the dark black interior with red-wine color touches feels really deep and weird but it also speaks alot of how Aries really is.
A mystery , Aries is a deep mystery. No one can predict what he will do the next moment , I've myself seen his mood change suddenly in short time periods.
" Hey kitten , let's go." My thoughts break as he smiles walking to me.
He picks me up slowly and walks in the room. My mouth hangs open as I take in the room , it's so beautiful. His bathroom is more beautiful than Master's whole store.
A large bathtub in which nearly fifteen people can sleep comfortably , a huge shower room and big mirrors on one wall with the counters.
Aries places me on a counter top and looks at me weirdly.
" You'll have to strip." he mutters. My eyes widen at his words.
" Trust me , I won't try anything." he mutters smiling.
" Yet." he adds as a whisper sending shivers down my spine.
I nod opening the buttons of the brown battered rag shirt I was wearing from two years. It has supported me alot , even though it is torn at places and so dirty that the brown color is no longer visible , it was my only shelter during cold nights and protection from lusty eyes.
I take it off and hand it to him. He smiles throwing the shirt in a bin beside the counter. Aries doesn't long up at me even once as I push my pants and knickers down. Too ashamed to hand him my knickers , I wrap them with my battered pants and throw it in the bin Aries threw my shirt in.
A smile gets on my lips as it successfully gets into the bin without falling out. Goal !
I look up only to see him smiling down at me. His knuckles caress my cheeks causing sparks to erupt.
" You look cute when you smile." he whispers picking me up.
I squeal as he slowly places me in the tub of warm water and bubbles. A sweet smell in the water makes me smile in satisfaction , at least I wont stink now.
Aries let's loud an angry growl causing me to flinch back. What's wrong with him suddenly ? Did I do something wrong ?
He clenches his jaw tight and fists making tears pool up in my eyes.
He's angry , I've surely done something wrong.
His expression softens as he looks up at my teary face.
" Take a good bath kitten and call me once you're done. Take your time well." he mumbles caressing my cheek a last time before walking out.
I sigh closing my eyes leaning back on the bathtub enjoying the feeling of warm water on my skin after such long years.
I was so scared when Aries first purchased me and I badly wanted to go back to the store but now , I dont want to go to the store , I dont want to go back to Master but the thing which is shocking me more is that I dont want to go back to my home too.
Aries makes something erupt in me , a feeling of care , a feeling of being safe , a feeling of home , a feeling of love .
Maybe Master was wrong , I will be loved by someone . . . by Aries.
