SLAVE TO THE MATE BOND

CHAPTER 7*ALPHA SUPREME'S BED*

||*RHIAMON*||

I thought the lady Dextra would be gone for a while or even return with the Alpha supreme. Surprisingly, she came back a few minutes after telling us to wait in the sitting room for her.

Her cold reception towards Hermione wasn't unclear to me, because she seemed like a nice person and was more gentle towards me than she was to Hermione. I think she probably called for someone through the mindlink to show Hermione her assigned duties while leading me away.

I wasn't sure where she was taking me, but she seemed excited about whatever plans she said she had for me. Her excitement about her plan gave me mixed feelings, because it wasn't quite clear what it was, yet I knew it didn't look like she wanted to tell me her plans.

She walked me into a part of the Mansion, turning different corners and passages, and I knew for certain I would get lost between the turns and corners a few times before I got used to it.

"This is my room." Beta Dextra announced as she led me into the fine bedroom and my eyes scanned the large space. Wondering how this belongs to one person. It was six times or more the size of my tiny bedroom back at home. It had a few times, most of it carved out of wood, and some plants. I didn't understand half the things I saw on the wall, so I chose to ignore it.

"First, I need to get you clean. I could've told the other female guards to do it, but we don't want too many people seeing your body." It sounded more like she was talking to herself, so I didn't respond.

"Take off your clothes." She instructed and that's when my head snapped up.

"Ugh?" I was confused, not sure if I heard her right.

"We are both ladies, take off your clothes, I need to wash you clean." She said, waving her hand like seeing me naked wasn't such an issue.

She walked away from me, going towards a door I hadn't noticed was in the room when we came in and she opened it, before turning to look at me.

"Hurry up sunshine, we don't have all day." She said, before stalking into the new room and I slowly got out of my tulle dress. There was nothing underneath anyway.

"If you're done, come here." She called from inside the other room, and I bent over to pick up my dress, folding it neatly while I looked for where to put it, before heeding her call.

I walked through the door, and I stood at the mouth of the door for a few minutes scanning the room. Except it wasn't a room. I think it's a bathroom but it looked so much different from the one we had in the house.

"Is something wrong?" I returned my focus to the beta and I shook my head.

"Why then are you frozen by the door?" She asked and I blinked, stepping forward. She eyed me suspiciously before shaking her head.

"Step into the bathtub." She instructed, rummaging through a box attached to the wall, perhaps a bathroom wardrobe. I looked around, not knowing what she was talking about. There are a few items here and I don't know which one is the bathtub.

"Rhiamon?" She called, and I shifted my focus to her.

"Yes, Ma." I responded in a tiny voice.

"I told you to step into the bathtub, what are you waiting for?" She inquired, and I contemplated between telling her the truth or just doing something random.

"I uhh... Don't know which one is the bathtub." I confessed, casting my head downwards and she chortled with amusement.

"It's the 20th century, sunshine. Who doesn't know what a bathtub is?" Beta Dexta chuckled and I pointed a finger to myself.

"You aren't joking?" She asked and I nodded, feeling heat rush up my face in embarrassment.

"Do you not have a bathtub in your home?" I shook my head at her question.

"Oh I see, I guess your pack still lives the way our ancestors did."

"How did they live?" Somehow my curiosity piqued and I really wanted to know more.

"Outdated, and never in tune with the current world. They mostly live like animals, in their wolf form." She explained and I nodded in confusion.

"I don't know how my pack lives. I've never seen..." I replied, standing beside her, because she hadn't shown me the bathtub yet.

Beta Dextra paused, with supplies in her hands, and she scanned my face, "How do you not know how your pack lives? Even though the pack members here own land portions and live their private lives, we know the way of living here. So don't you know?" She questioned.

"I was never allowed to step out of the house." I informed her and her lips pressed together.

"You were a slave?" She asked and I shook my head.

"My dad never allowed it, says I am a half-breed and a disgrace to his name." I shared with her, and she rumbled with a growl.

"The bastard, because half-breeds and mating with humans is frowned upon. He kept you, hidden, so no one would know of his mistake. How low of him." Beta Dextra seethed in anger.

I never really knew the reason why father never lets me out. I just thought it was because of his hatred for me, and they didn't want me to grow out of their control.

"Hey look at me." She had dropped the supplies, now lifting my chin up with her hand. "You are not a disgrace, being a half-breed doesn't make you a disgrace. You are a beautiful gem, chosen for the Alpha supreme. That's a huge honour. Sunshine, to be chosen amongst a hundred other girls for the Alpha supreme. You should have your head up and shoulders high." She encouraged me, with a smile, and I nodded.

"Come." She said, grabbing my hand and led me into the white bathtub. I was careful of my leg placement so as not to slip.

"How do you take your bath at home, if you don't have bathtubs? Do you use the shower?" Beta Dextra asked, as I sat down in the tub with my leg folded against my chest.

"Shower?" I asked, raising my head curiously.

"Yes, shower, this." She detached an object from the wall, and I shrieked as cold water hit my skin like needles. Beta Dextra burst into a fit of laughter, turning off the water as she set the object back to the wall.

"You're cute." She commented, before taking off some of her gear and she took off the long sleeve cloth she wore, revealing another thin piece of clothing underneath.

"Adriel fills the drums in the bathroom with water, and we bathe fetching water from the drums.." I said, rubbing off the water droplets on my face.

"Oh, I see." She crouched beside the bathtub, picking up a bottle and she handed it to me.

"You'll pour the chamomile oil in my hand when I tell you, stretch out your legs." She said and I did as instructed. She gestured for me to pour and I did.

The next minutes followed with her rubbing the chamomile oil all over my body while she explained it was an essential bath oil and she kept it for certain reasons.

I felt slightly uncomfortable throughout the bathing process, she kept rubbing different ointments on my body, and I felt greasy all over. But some gave a soothing feeling as she massaged it into my skin. I was made to sit in the tub for a few minutes before taking out a wash-cloth and starting to clean my body.

Once she was done, she changed the water. I didn't pay attention to how she took out the dirty water, because I had my eyes closed half the time, the time was relaxing despite how uncomfortable I felt with her hands all over me. My muscles relaxed with all the work she put into cleaning me, and I felt lighter.

I was led out of the bathtub, water dripping from my hair all over my body and she damp my skin with a dry washcloth.

"Now, it's time to moisturise and make you smell nice." Beta Dextra cheered as she led me out of the bathroom. I don't think I have ever felt so clean in my life.

I sat on her neatly laid bed, while she disappeared behind me and she returned with different kinds of bottles. She moisturised my skin, like she said, with different kinds of scented oil and something she also called lotion.

I was intrigued by all the bottles, they smelled nice, and some scents felt overpowering, but she looked so excited while preparing me and I just let it happen.

"I always like to prepare for any occasion, it's a good thing I have the right supplies for your hair." She packed as many of the bottles scattered on the bed in her hand, disappearing for another second before coming back with a bowl.

"What's that?" I asked, watching as she stirred the contents of the bowl.

"Aloe Vera, coconut oil, and Argan oil. For your hair." She answered.

"What will it do? I've never put those in my hair." I shared. I didn't know I needed to put substances in my hair. I always just poured enough water to make it wet, and I worked my fingers through it before tying it up with a headpiece.

"It gives the hair moisture, sheen and softens it. It will be easier to detangle and style. Some of the guards have your hair type, and we have different indigenous people in the pack." She shared and I nodded.

She scooped a potion of the substance in her hand before working it through my hair, and she massaged my head while doing that. A few more scoops, before she grabbed an object, working it through my hair.

"What's that?" The object weaved through my hair smoothly and it felt so good. For the first time in my life, I didn't feel any pain while getting my hair done.

"Hair brush." She answered, and I wondered if she wasn't tired with all my questions. A few minutes later, my hair was styled into what she called a pineapple updo. I didn't question it, but my head felt weirdly nice.

She sprayed my body with a scent, and I almost choked from the overwhelming smell. "Stand up, you need to wear this." She said, coming back with a lacy garment. She fastened the rope around my waist and then she stepped back to check me out before smiling.

"He's going to love this." She mostly whispered to herself while rubbing her hands together and I cast my head down.

I thought she said they didn't bring us here to be s*x slaves, but all this and everything she just said. It means she's been preparing me for the Alpha supreme.

"How old are you?" Beta Dextra asked, nudging me to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Twenty-one," I mumbled. My eyes were glued to my lap.

"Are you a virgin?" She asked and I nodded.

"Ahora would love this. That's good." She murmured to herself, and from her voice I could tell she was smiling.

"You know why I went through all the trouble of washing you, right?" She asked and I nodded. I know I am not the smartest, but I can also pick up things real quick.

"I know I told you girls we don't need you as s*x slaves, but every year a girl is chosen from the hundreds sent here, to warm the Alpha's Supreme bed. It's an honour and you'll be treated with respect amongst the other girls. You won't need to do any hard labour because your duty is bound to please the Alpha alone. Are you okay with this?" She asked after explaining and I nodded.

Would it matter if I said I wasn't okay? It won't change her mind, because she already went through all that trouble to get me ready for the Alpha Supreme. Besides, I had prepared my mind for this already even before we got here. It's what I need to do.

"You're probably not experienced since you're a virgin, but every woman should know a thing or two about seduction. Make yourself sexy in the best possible way. I'll show you some moves." She said, proceeding to climb on the bed and she did show me the moves which had my brain spinning in different directions.

"Remember what I told you, and the things I showed you. Pleasing him would help you stay here. Be a good girl sunshine." Beta Dextra kissed my forehead, before unlocking the door to Alpha supreme's bedroom and she nudged me in, with a smile.

I stumbled inside as the door closed behind me, and I looked around, frowning at the appearance of the room. Didn't she say this was his bedroom, but there is no bed there. The same type of chair I saw in the sitting room was here, but this one had a different design pattern compared to the flowery pattern of the one in the sitting room.

I wanted to linger in this space, to take in every piece of item, but Beta Dextra instructed me to wait for the Alpha supreme on the bed. I walked further into the space, seeing what looked like a corner and I stalked towards it, letting out a nervous sigh when I saw another room ahead, with no door.

I walked in, realising it was the bedroom. I walked in, talking in the large bed covered in black and ash sheets. I untied the robe of the Lacey garment, as I climbed on the bed. I was surprised as I didn't hear the squeaky sound my bed at home usually made. There's no time I get on that bed that it doesn't announce it to the world. Dad's bed also made the same noise.

Out of sheer curiosity, I bounced on the bed a few times, checking to see if it would squeak. I giggled faintly to myself about the way it bounced against my bums instead. It had a gentle touch to it, soft and comforting, almost felt like the bed foam was massaging my butt.

The sound of running water got my attention and I stopped bouncing, straining my ears to pick where the sound came from. Perhaps there's a lake here, and I sat on my knees like Beta Dextra showed me, leaning into what she called the headboard and I spread my thighs like she showed me. She said to show skin but not too much. I moved the garment about like she showed me, exposing some of my body parts but not all.

She said, 'only show a little skin to tease him'. So I did that, showing a little, sliding the garment off my body. I waited on the bed, nervously fiddling with my nails. I have no idea when the Alpha Supreme will come in. Perhaps she had gone to call him. I also didn't ask her what she said about those guards.

The sound of the door creaking open caught my ears. I thought it was the front door of the bedroom, so I looked forward, my eyes stopping at the new opening in the left corner of the room. I didn't notice there was a door there. While I was trying to remember if I noticed the door, I saw a pair of legs coming forward.

Walking out the new door, my eyes got bigger as it moved up the strong leg structure of this bed. A sudden gasp escaped my mouth as my eyes stopped midway. My eyes bulged like saucers, my palm clamping over my mouth in shock. Did I just see a naked man?

"Bloody hell! Who are you?" A voice seethed harshly and my eyes snapped up. It was the Alpha standing in his naked glory before me. I wanted to talk, but I was still in shock at what I just saw between his legs, and my eyes moved back to that same object between his legs.

That can't be what I think it is. Hell no, that's impossible. That's.... That's. I looked up at the seething Alpha. I don't know if he was also in shock, but I had to confirm.

"What's that?" I asked in a shaky voice, blinking as I pointed my finger towards his lower body. The alpha supreme eyes trailed down to look between his legs and he looked back up with fire in his eyes.

"What is what?" He all but snarled. I probably shouldn't have asked. I know what it should be, but I have never seen one. I have no idea what size they are or should be, and I just needed to be sure it was something else.

"The... the... uh thing between your legs." I stumbled on my words, as I tried to search for how to describe it. My question didn't sit well with him.

"GET. OUT." A growl rumbled out of him, and my body trembled at the sheer authority in his voice. My head snapped down involuntarily as I shook on the bed, sudden fear gnawing at my very soul.

I know he told me to get out, but I couldn't move, I wanted to stand up, but my body refused to cooperate. He snarled, I heard him stomping forward and his hands grabbed mine, dragging me off the bed. I flinched, as a sudden spark travelled up the arm that he touched and I fell on my bum as she let go of my hand.

"OUT, NOW." He snarled. I wanted to stand up to leave, but instead I burst into a choking sob. I don't know why I was crying, why I couldn't move. It felt like I was paralyzed from the inside out. I wrapped my hand around myself, trembling with my head bowed as I whimpered.

I have never felt fear like this before, it was soul breaking. I choked as I sobbed uncontrollably. I wanted to stop crying, because I knew I shouldn't be crying, but it was as if I had lost control of my body.

"DEXTRA!" His voice thundered through the room, vibrating through my body and I bare my neck. It felt as though I could feel his anger deep in my bones. I could feel it gnawing at me from the inside, crippling my mind.

The door to the bedroom burst open, and I heard footsteps rushing towards us. Warm hands wrapped around me, lifting me up as I trembled.

"What did you do to her?" It was Beta Dextra. Hearing her voice calmed my nerves a bit.

"Get her out of my room, now." It was a command, low and unyielding.

"What did you do to the poor girl? She's trembling, I chose her for you." Beta Dextra said, instead of obeying his commands. I wanted to be out of this room, but I feared if I moved I'd collapse on my face.

"I didn't tell you to take her into my bedroom."

"I always take them into your bedroom. Why are you behaving like this the first time? I have chosen for you, and you hit the poor girl." Beta Dextra raised her voice and I knew this wasn't good.

"Because I don't want her, I have never wanted any of them. Never touched them, or even looked at them twice. Nor did I hit this one. Now get her out of my bedroom before I do something drastic." I don't know what it was, but I could feel his hatred for me, in every word he said.

"You never touched them all these years?" I am not sure if the beta expected an answer, because she didn't get one.

"You didn't hit her, what did you do to her? That she's trembling like........ did you..." Beta Dextra paused. "You used your Alpha voice on her? Are you crazy? Why would you do that, knowing the outcome?" She yelled at him, now pressing me into her chest.

"Be happy it didn't kill her." He declared harshly. I heard movement and I flinched, clinging onto the Beta. I thought he was coming to strike me.

"I apologise if this is disrespectful, Alpha Supreme,...." There was an edginess to the way she said Alpha supreme, "but you abusing your powers on her makes me wonder the difference between you and the guards who tried to rape her. " Beta Dextra said and I gasped. By god's, what did she just say? Is she trying to get us killed?

"They what?" His voice rumbled against my ear, and I flinched, feeling the heat of his body against mine.

"The guards you told me to look into, tried to rape her. That was the reason they were late."

"And you think putting her in my bedroom to get fu.cked is the next best thing for a girl who was almost raped? Are you mad?" He all but snarled in her face, and I jumped away from them, as his fingers gripped her throat.

Beta Dextra held onto the hand, choking her, not even trying to plea as he lifted her body, her legs leaving the floor. I don't know why he was angry, his entire pupil had changed to a burning red as he strangled her. He was going to kill her and I was too scared to stop him.

"Please...." I whispered. Despite my body trembling in fear at the ghostly chill in his aura, I stepped forward, tentatively moving my hand to touch his. I almost flinched from the sparks again, but I held on, "Please...." I whispered again, in between silent sobs. I don't know if it was my voice or touch. The Alpha supreme blinked, his head turning to me, and his eyes darted back to his beta. He hissed, letting her go, and she coughed harshly.

"Bloody bastard." She said in between chokes.

"Bring those men to me. Immediately," he ordered, without caring that he had just tried to kill his beta. She nodded, straightening up. I followed her as she turned to leave.

"You!" He called and my legs failed to move. I couldn't turn back to face him. I didn't want to see that anger in his eyes.

"Sit your tiny ass on that sofa," he ordered. Sofa? I looked around fearfully for the Sofa. Goodness, I don't know what a stupid Sofa is.

"Here." My eyes darted to the side, and I saw Beta Dextra pointing to a single seater. I dragged my trembling legs towards it, and I sat down like an obedient dog.

"Put this on." Two pieces of clothing landed on my face out of nowhere, and I looked up to see him already turning his back to me as he walked away.

He hates me, and for what reason? I wasn't going to ask because it seems communicating with him is a bad idea. I stood up on shaky legs, shrugging the garment off, and I dragged on the shirt and the male shorts.

Perhaps I can convince Beta Dextra to send me to the silk factory with the other girls. I don't want to be here, at least those girls get two more days of rest, and I'm here getting scared to the point of almost pissing myself. If the Alpha I was supposed to serve doesn't want me, then I shouldn't remain in the mansion. I don't want to remain here, but I am so curious about that touch. Why did my skin burn like that, when he touched me, and also when I touched him?

I'd love to know, but he already showed he doesn't function well with questions. I hope Hermione isn't having it as bad as I am.
