Chapter 70

'I have no idea where he is, he is supposed to be back by now from his nature walk," Mace was worried about Loki but Czar was less concerned, his feet were aching him after he had run countless errands for the queen. And by countless, it was only four.
He sees his brother coming back looking a bit refreshed, his eyes meet Mace and he smiles a little, 'where you waiting for me?" His smile became a smirk,
'What happened that you're coming back this time? And I thought they won't allow us step outside?" He was confused at how free he was,
'My mistress let me," he shrugs before pulling the collar away from his skin, he wasn't used to it but it was somehow fashionable,
'What the hell is that?" Czar points to the contraption on his neck with disgust smeared on his face,
'What?" he holds the choker closer, 'weren't you give one?" He teases him, 'she gave me, or should I say told me to wear it. I don't know if it would monitor me but it is what it is."
'Why don't you find out?" Mace offers as they cleaned the floor, he passes Loki a rag and he gets on his knees, 'don't you have a spell for that?"
He nods and holds the choker, it glows an eerie green and so did his eyes, he freezes for a few minutes and he reverts back to his original form,
'It's a tracker, it is infused with magic." He was somewhat hurt but he could understand, 'I believe they won't let you go outside until they give you one to wear." He sighs heavily,
'It would be harder to strategize if they're watching us." He reaches for an uncleaned place and when he cleans it he raises his brow to see Asher and Conan standing right above them..Mace could feel his blood boil after he looked at Conan,
'How is it coming along men?" Asher mocks them which makes Conan, they were idiots. Czar is about to say something rude but Loki stops him,
'We're doing just fine, thank you for checking up on us." He replies politely on their behalf, Asher smirks and although younger than the three of them he still had massive ego,
'You should be more like your friend, you'll get into less trouble with the Queen." Asher was referring to Czar and he just scoffs, 'Sheila requests to see you." He tells Loki and his cheeks flush, the moments of the easy hours of the morning flashing in his eyes. He nods and rises to his feet,
'I would be back soon." He tells his brother and he lets him go, and when he was gone Czar decided to speak up,
'She has been calling him like she is planning world domination with him, isn't it strange master?" He whispered to him,
'No….I don't find it strange, he belongs to her now, she can do whatever she wishes with him." The truth burned his heart, and if she wished she would kill him and would be justified.
'But master, don't you find it strange that he doesn't resist?" Czar was loo6foe says to paint him black,
'Loki is smarter than us combined, I'm sure he has his reasons." He doesn't say more than that and goes back to his cleaning,
'But from the looks of it, it seems he has known her for a very long time. He blushes whenever her name is mentioned. It might be possible that it is the same Sheila he was in love with?" And that got Mace thinking.
'No it cannot be so. Stop talking and start working, if they come and see this place is not cleaned then we can kiss our asses goodbye." He goes back to his cleaning and so does Czar, but he couldn't stop thinking. What if it were so? He found it hard to believe that his brother would have a relationship with the enemy. He knows better than that.
But can't love make you do crazy things?
She was looking for the medicine she was supposed to give her mistress, she had no clue where she dropped it last,
'Why does it have to be so tiny?" She curses silently and the she finds it, 'finally!! Time to give this to sister." She was on her way out before she bumped into Conan, 'oh my! I'm so sorry master, I wasn't looking at where I was going."
'That's fine," he notices she was stiff, she barely moved when they hit each other, 'what brought you here?" He asks as he shifted closer to his table,
'Mistress needed Medicine, she has been feeling too sick lately, I've never seen a more sick pregnant woman before woman my life!" She exclaims as she pulled out her black hair,
'It must be hard on her, she should get better after a few months." He concludes and goes to find his notes,
'But it is not so In our clan, she isn't supposed to be this sick my Lord." She Argues back and then he takes her words again,
'Your clan? You're a Rose?" His Raven orbs dug into her soul and suddenly she cannot bring herself to look a him,
'Did I say that? What I meant to say was that in her clan, I'm not part of them, I just know a lot about them." She quickly changes her words before slipping out of the room but this puts serious suspicion on her.
'And it feels like she is hiding something." Or maybe she was?
She returns back to her mistress to see her servant giving her a foot massage while she had some ice on her head,
'Bring it please," she had never been so desperately to take that gross mixture but anything to make the ache in her brain vanish, it was becoming unbearable. She gulps it down and scowls at the taste, 'why does he make it so bitter?! Ack!!" She dumps the bottle one side and grabs some fruits,
'Well the bitter ones are usually the most potent mistress, it would take effect and you'll be up to your feet before you know it." She giggles slightly until her eyes glanced at Loki, and how he seemed to enjoy taking care of her. She could mark out a small smile on his lips,
'Well that lousy doctor should do something quick and make Medicine that doesn't taste like donkey shit." She cuts an orange but her comment made Loki chuckle, 'is something funny?" Her tone turns husky and he quickly shakes his head.
Azure admires them until she Is sent an errand by Sheila, leaving her and Loki alone. He contemplates the words in his head but decides to speak,
'Mistress, if I may ask, why are you sick?" His eyes are to her toes as he rubbed and pressed them, 'I've noticed that you're so pale and always fainting."
'It is non of your business, be quiet and do your work." She sneers at him and he goes back to his job, but he wanted to know why she was sick. He would just ask Azure.
'You called me mistress?" Mace opens the door slightly to see Arcadia on her bed, she was not paying attention to him but he was paying a lot of attention to the dress she was wearing, it showed a lot of her natural endowments,
'Yes, close the door behind you." She mandates him and he complies, he closes the door to turn to see her already in his face,
'Mistress…." He didn't find her proximity as easing as he thought it would be, she was shorter than him but her aura was deadly and hypnotic at the same time. She cocks her brow and moves closer to him, and with each step she took, he took a step back,
'What is your plan Mace? Why haven't you rebelled yet?" She was trying to read his mind through his eyes but he didn't maintain eye contact, 'this is not the ruthless alpha I was hunting down, or is that he died the day he was defeated?" She corners him to a wall and he feels his heart in his throat.
He liked her the day he saw her, but she rejected him. And that led to unexplainable hate he wasn't even sure about. But now that he is seeing her on a daily basis, even though he is suffering humiliation every minute, he can't help but find her very attractive.
'I do not have the strength to fight now but when I do I will take back what is rightfully mine." He retorts and this brings a smirk to her face, now this was the Mace she knew,
'My mother spared you, but I personally still want your head as a trophy, don't make trouble or it would come back to you." Her fingers caress his face, and he slightly twitches at her touch, 'it would be such a shame to see a handsome man like yourself go so quickly." She cackles at his expense, 'a very handsome man…." Her hands slid down his chest in a seductive manner.
But he grips her wrist unexpectedly, and she is amused by his actions,
'Please mistress, I do not want to do this," he says in a low tone and this results in an explosive laughter,
'And who are you to decide what I should do with you?!!" She cackles evilly, 'you're mine remember?" She bends his finger and he hisses in pain before clamping her hand around his neck. For a small hand it packed quite a lot of force, 'I'm sure you had a lot of fun with clan women and you brutally beat my men, my people are traumatized and they're not eating, or even responding. You turned them to a living dead." She spoke into his ears with disdain, 'I would make sure you suffer the same fate."
He groans as she kicked him in the shin, bringing him to his knees. She forces his head to look at her, he struggles to keep her hand back but she landed him multiple slaps that left him dazed. She forces his head once again, this time bending to meet his gaze, 'the same way you abused my women I would do to you. You would never look at another woman again in your life." She pushes him away and goes to her wardrobe to bring out ropes.
'Mistress please!!" He screams, and her face twists in pleasure, 'don't do this." He didn't like the idea of this one bit.
'You dare beg me?" She hisses but she enjoys the look of helplessness on his face, 'when my people begged you, what did you do? How many of my women did you sleep with Mace?!! How many?!!" She was breathing heavily as tears streamed down her face. She wipes them in haste not wanting to appear weak, 'forget you're a man, you will suffer the same fate. You will become a toy for us to enjoy." She binds his hands behind his back and relaxes at his bondage,
'I have a request," he looks up at her, hoping she would be as kind as her mother,
'Speak before I call them in." She didn't have time for his nonsense,
'Please…..I do not know what you would think of me but I do not want to be used without my permission….. At least not by people who are not in control of me." He looks away.
Her brows cock as she deciphered what he was trying to say, then she bends to his height, 'you want only me to touch you?" She asked for clarification.
'Yes…. Mistress…." He hoped she would say yes.
'You're too disgusting for me to even use, I would prefer to burn that have anything to do with you." She spits at him, until her eyes began to wander around his body, he was tempting, 'hmmm…." She goes lower to grab the muscle in his pants, gently squeezing him, measuring his length and thickness.
He groans at her touch and it aroused her to a great degree, she massaged him a bit more and he began to swell,
'Mistress…." He liked it very much, what she was doing to him.
'You like that don't you? Hmmm?" She coos into his ears, 'such a disgusting man." She stops and lands on her bed, thinking of what to do with him after he had requested that she only used him. She glanced at him from time to time, not entirely sure of what Asher would think of it.
She walks out of her room for a while and he tugs at the ropes but her knots were too well done, he curses under his breath and crawls on his knees to see what he could use to escape, the idea of being raped by a woman was an abomination to him. Men were to be in control, always on top, making the women moan.
Not the other way around. He would prefer to die than be used like an animal. He sights her fan and goes for the blade. With great difficulty he is able to hold it and he tears the rope bit by bit. But his game is up when she comes back, see growls and releases a deafening scream that tortures his ears.
She kicks him on his back and a few females rush to assist their Queen, she push him to his knees, one was holding his head by his mane while the other binded him again.
'Stop trying to escape, you like women right?" She smiles wickedly and points to her soldiers, some of Sheila's comrades, 'they're in heat and they need some release."
'But mistress!! My request,"
'You don't deserve to be listened to, but I will grant you the favor of supervising. Ladies," she turns to them with a sinister smile, 'he's yours, use him as you like."
'Wait!! Stop!! Arcadia!!!"
