Chapter 5

Eugenia

I heard the sound of the grid open, Jane could barely open her eyes because she hadn’t seen the light in years. She looked at me, her image was terrifying, but she was grateful to me and I myself that this night serves as food for this monster, was happy to have released her. He took my hand, his touch was as cold as ever, and we left my cell. All his other followers went out to see us walking together, I was a stranger in the nest, or rather a lamb in the middle of the lion cage.

— Do not be afraid my beautiful, you are immune as long as I want. — He smiled pushing the monsters away from me, so powerful that if he ordered them to take their own lives, they would do it.

We reached the castle lobby, everything was tasteful despite the darkness. A woman approached and kissed his lips...

— So she’s our dinner?

— No, tonight Dana, Eugenia is coming to dinner as my guest of honor. — Answered the Alpha, and she looked at me with anger, I do not know why even being inferior to her according to their own beliefs still sees me as a rival.

— I want you to give her the best dress, you know how I like you to dress. Cover her in jewelry and make sure she’s treated like a queen!

— You can leave my master, I’ll take good care of her. He released my hand and grabbed her neck with both hands, she showed the fangs to him in self-defense.

— You know what happens when they disobey my orders, don’t you, Dana?

— Please leave her alone! — I pleaded with fear, but the two did not seem to be in a common quarrel.

[...]

He let her go, the marks of her hands were on her skin.

— If you lean your claws on her Sue, Alpha devours your guts. — Dana smiled at each other.

— She’s just a lowly human, and she stinks of her own kind. — Another one of her lovers was there, there were three.

— I don’t know what’s special about this one, but he wants her alive and well for dinner tonight. — Lilith was stupid to betray her master, now she can’t even make sex anymore.

— Better for the three of us!

They felt honored to lie with him, to be one more in his bed, as long as they could have the perks of living in the midst of luxury.

I would never accept to subject myself to such a situation, even if my life depends on it. They took my clothes off, put me in a bathtub with herbs and there was myrrh incense.

— The master loves that smell, said it reminds me of the past. — Dana said, throwing the herbal infusion in my bath water.

— You won’t say anything? — The other one asked me.

— What will be your last words? — Hellen smiles.

— Which one of you chose to be with him? — My question made the three of them undo the smile and if they looked at surprises, they continued to soap my whole body.

None of them were there for love, at least they had not chosen that destiny. I went out and was covered with a white towel, there was a long red satin dress on the bed. They dressed me with it, put two gold earrings and some rings on my right-hand fingers. Drops of a very good perfume, my hair was kept loose.

— He likes hair so natural, yours is like my black made at night. However, smooth as the fabric of the dress you are wearing. — Says Dana, looking at the beautiful rival.

Seeing Eugenia so beautiful, all felt jealous, she stopped in front of the large mirror that was the only piece of silver that existed in that place. In her room, Alpha prepared her most elegant tunic and dressed for the banquet.

Alpha

Knowing that young woman was here, a few meters from me, brought restlessness. I can not admit that someone so insignificant can awaken in me such feelings, this banquet would be redemption the fine line that put it again on paper that should never think of leaving: my prey.

— Are you ready? — Radesh asked as he fixed his cuffs.

— Yes, ask my females to come down, they already know that I do not tolerate delays under any circumstances. — I went down the stairs, I always liked to wait for them there at the end of it.

The night after the banquets I copulated with one or even two of them, that night I had already chosen it even before the celebration of sacrifice began.

Eugenia

I went downstairs, along with the other Alpha females, I refuse to be part of their pack, even though many lives may depend on this decision. Neither human nor transformed, he looked at us incisively, in his semi-human form seemed an ordinary man, beautiful and elegant hiding his wanton soul, if there is still one within him. Dana took the lead, he helped her down the last step, did the same for Sue and Hellen. I suspended the front of my long dress and went down, without touching his hand, and I know that he became enraged with this further refusal of flirting.

— Today, my females are even brighter than any full moon I have ever contemplated. — I don’t know why, in saying he always looked at me, my way of deviating from his domain must be making him even angrier.

The three lovers, wives or whatever they wanted to call themselves, walked with him to an immense dining table lined with a black fabric and decorated with dried flowers and I followed, looking at everything that was in that place. The table was several meters long and in it, there were already many of his subjects, as soon as they saw us, they stood up and bowed in the presence of the leader.

All well-dressed, men and women, in fact, creatures of the night, just hiding their true form. Some carried scars, battle marks where they must have taken so many innocent lives, how many years can they live?

How many more will suffer to satisfy their hunger for blood and human flesh.

Alpha

Eugenia can’t wait for the surprises that await her tonight, I chose her to be my partner in prom and bed during this special occasion. It’s time to revisit memories, smell a human female once again.

— Sit my dear Eugenia, do not be afraid.

Tonight and for the first time, a human will be at the table of sacrifice and not as dinner!

She was not happy at all, I can smell her fear growing and taking care of all her pores. But I do not want to dare again to read her mind, Hellen, Sue and Dana conspire against her, women in any species, compete with each other.

Each of them sat in one of the chairs, next to me right Dana and to my left side Eugenia. Radesh ordered dinner to be served, on a full moon night, as usual.

I have dominion over it, I can become a beast whenever I wish, but not my subjects, they are slaves of the silver moonlight. The servants passed among the guests carrying large bronze trays, placing one in every four guests.
