[Lana’s bedchamber]



Lana was done with her bath and looked around before she could come out of that bathtub. The woman did not want to be seen naked once again when the ladies had already left the bathing area. She was left alone in peace to take her bath while the rest of the maids stood outside the room. Lana reached the immaculate door of her bathing section while mumbling to herself.



"That felt so darn good! The oils must have some tendency to soothe the nerves.”
Lana walked out of the bathing chamber and encountered the maids who were waiting for her. Lady Noh had been struggling to keep herself sane after what just happened. She was well aware what that meant and how dear the gown was to the alpha. But she could not stop Lana when the alpha himself has instructed her to obey and tend to Lana’s needs.



It made Lana stunned upon seeing that the maids were there standing right outside the room when she came out. She had been wearing some fleece kind of robe which prevented her from getting cold. As soon as she came out Lady Noh bowed slightly and proposed the idea. For a moment it made Lana puzzled and astonished that those women were not leaving her alone for any moment.



"Here my lady, let the maids help you."
She stated and Lana felt her cheeks heated after hearing those words as she stole a few glances with the maids who had been standing lined up near her. It meant that the maids were supposed to touch her to help Lana in order to get dressed and that would have been an awkward situation.



Nonetheless, Lana raised her arms and one of the maids unwrapped the towel around her body. She could not get over the sensation that she had walked naked inside the bathing chamber initially. Lana had assumed that they all had gone out after assisting her with the hot water and the desired oils. But to her surprise the alpha had instructed Lady Noh to stay by Lana’s side every day when she would wake up.





"It's time to get dressed, my lady."
Lady Noh had been instructing the maids and Lana ever since she had been appointed to her. Before Lana could respond and decipher the words the fleece towel around her body was gone. A gush of chilled air brushed against her body as she got goosebumps upon seeing all those stares which were on her body.




"No, wait! I can do it myself. You all can leave for now.”
She tried to oppose the sudden intrusion in her privacy again, and covered her breasts while she clasped her thighs together. Lady Noh did not react to her revolt neither did she speak anything nor showed any emotion over her face. The head maid was not allowed to leave Lana all alone for any moment.

But upon seeing that Lana was not ready to stay put with the treatment she had been getting. It was obvious that Lady Noh was not allowed to leave her alone but she also had to ensure that Lana was ready for breakfast. Either way she had to make sure that Lana would wear the dress and was prepared.

Lady Noh twitched her hand and the pink dress floated in the air which caught Daniell off guard. A sprinkle of golden dust emerged from her hands and wrapped around Lana’s waist. And within less than seconds the dress vanished into thin air and started to emerge on her body. Lana gasped upon the magic she had been witnessing in front of her which perhaps only a hybrid could perform.



Lana was unable to make her stand still with all that fluttering feeling which clouded her mind. She could feel the eyes on herself as the cloth began to wrap around her arms towards downwards. And soon she was dressed in the very same dress which had vanished earlier. Lana was dazed seeing such a sight since the werewolves could not perform such magic and other similar things, thus every such sight was no less than a miracle for them.



"Whoa! How did you-"
Her words were interrupted by the sudden touch on her body while Lana was occupied in praising the dress. Happiness was all over her face and oozed from her every single cell. However, it did not take long that she was graded and pushed down on the chair in front of the dressing table.



The maids had been working on the instructions of the lady Noh who slipped their arms in Lana’s armpit and dragged her. Thus, they remained quiet and assisted the head maid, Lana was forced to sit on the wooden stool and lady Noh again performed some spell. The woman stood behind her as Lana stared in her reflection lovingly. The big round mirror with heavy golden carvings of flowers was equally beautiful as the other furniture.


The sparkles emerged from Lady Noh’s hands and floated towards Lana’s hair as she focused on her head. Lana soon found her hair rising up and floating as they started to tie up into a loose long braid. She was fazed by that scenario when lady Noh tucked the small ruby beads in every fold of her braid. With her blonde hair and pink flowery dress Lana looked no less than a royal aristocratic lady.




'Only if you were here, Martha. You would have been so happy to see me like this.'
She remembered her one and only friend whom she had left behind in the brothel and did not even get the chance to meet with. Lana knew that the things she had been allotted and provided back there were because of her.

That was why she recalled her dear friend at that time, Lana wanted Martha to know what luxuries she had been living in now. It made her aggrieved over the whole thing that Martha was absent and she could not share her happiness with her dear friend. Although the events of yesterday also flashed in her head making Lana even sadder.

Maybe she was not as lucky as she had been deeming herself. The alpha was not into her and did not like Lana. She was nothing more than a slave for him, and what Sahan said yesterday made her realise that sooner or later the apha would take advantage of her body. Meanwhile Lana was immersed in her own thoughts, lady Noh could potentially see her saddened face.

“Don’t be sad, my lady. The alpha has not given this treatment to anyone in a long time. You are one of those women whom he deemed dear enough to protect.”
Lady Noh seized the chance to make Lana realise how precious she was to the alpha. However, Lana herself was not sure about the authenticity of her words.

“What do you mean by that? What is this implication for?”
Lana immediately grew anxious as the consciousness hit her and she began to question whatever her head maid said. She was aware that the alpha did not like her but the words used by Lady Noh had some other hidden meaning. Lana was unsure of why she made it sound like Lana was not the only one who managed to get similar treatment.

“Pardon me, my lady. I am in no position to tell you this, you have to approach the alpha to know more.”
Lady Noh gently tapped over her shoulder after her hair and light makeup was done. Lana was happy just a moment ago and now all her confusion and the fears were slowly turning out to be true.

She had no other choice but to confront either the maids or someone else who was able to tell her more about Belle Morte and its people, especially the alpha Sahan. Maybe his beta, Curtis, was a wise choice. After all he was the oldest and reliable person the alpha had beside him. But was he permitted to say anything to Lana?

Just as she was about to say something a loud thud resonated in the room. The huge immaculate door opened immediately and the alpha walked inside. Lady Noh hurriedly stepped away from Lana and looked at the alpha with a brief gaze. She made sure that he was able to find out that Lana was ready for breakfast.

“All of you! Out!”
Sahan cast a brief look at her and saw Lana being clad in a pink gown. He immediately recognised that dress and it made the alpha even more angrier. Lady Noh and the other maids dashed out of the room without even looking back. He was not sure whether Lana stole that dress or somebody brought it there.

Meanwhile the woman was unsure too upon seeing Sahan, he looked completely different from what he displayed and appeared in the morning. Lana shot up from the wooden stool and headed towards the alpha. The lady gulped down her fears and walked ahead in front of him and tried to initiate some talk.

Lana was aware that she had to do something in order to break the ice between them. She also wished to correct his vision about her and her past life in the brothel. However, in order to do that Lana had to first get into a normal conversation with him. That was why the woman put on a smile and asked Sahan’ opinion.

“H- how am I looking, my alpha?”
She glanced at him cautiously only to see the alpha staring at her as if he would pierce through her soul. Lana had no clue why his eyes soon began to glow golden as his eyes travelled down on her dress.

Poor woman assumed that he wanted to inquire about the gown thus she seized the opportunity to talk more. Whereas the alpha was still quiet and silently glaring at her dress instead of Lana herself.
“Err, this…this gown…I personally chose it to wear thinking you might like it on me, your highness.”



The alpha perhaps wanted to hear only that and misunderstood that Lana might have stolen that dress. How dare she even touch that gown!? At that moment rage clouded his mind as the alpha leaped towards her, his nails transformed into claws and the iris turned into slit.

Lana could not react to what just happened since it was beyond her understanding. Within just one moment she was pushed to the edge of the bed railing as Sahan stood closer to her. She was taken aback by the sudden push and was unsure what the alpha was doing. Before Lana could comprehend anything Cyrs growled at her making the woman tremble.

“How dare you!”
Sahan could not control his rage and lifted his hand to tear off her neckline which was in front of him. Lana gasped and immediately covered her breasts as the whole neckline was torn by his claws. She immediately started sobbing upon the scene and attempted to step back.

Since the bed was right behind her Lana stumbled and fell over on the mattress. She supported herself on the elbows and looked at Sahan who stood there in front of her. Lana became frightful for her life that she totally forgot about her torn dress. Her pink nipples and bare breasts were dangling in front of Sahan after the neckline was torn off.

The urge to touch and ruin her clouded Sahan’s mind as he was unable to keep himself put in one place. From his vision all he could see was a crying blonde woman who nearly had her eyeliner smeared a bit over the cheeks. Lana’s emerald eyes were pleading him for mercy while her bare dangling breasts were enticing him.

“Get on the bed!”
He yelled at her making Lana shudder with his coarse voice, she looked at Sahan blankly when he repeated his words. The woman crawled back over her butt as fast as she could, while the alpha dawdled towards the sofa nearby.
