Chapter 92

\*\*LORENZO'S POV\*\*



I yawned tiredly, getting out of bed.



"Different days, the same pain" I mumbled under my breath and took long strides to the window, opening it to stare out at Oklahoma's early morning beauty.



I've got to be at Dad's mansion later today, he has something to discuss with me after which I'd get to sit with the council to discuss the growth of our Pack.



I might check up on Luciana before eventually returning here, that's a lot for just today.



And about Luciana...Celine seems to me like a nice person, and Jericho too. But somehow I just can't shake the feelings that they're up to something, or probably putting up a facade.



Either way, I'd definitely find out very soon, and if my intuitions are correct, I might just take laws into my own hands, except it doesn't involve Luciana.



A soft knock sounded on the door, and I went to get it, already knowing it's my personal maid.



"Greetings my prince." She greeted me with a slight bow. "I came to prepare your bath."



I nodded, my expression void. "Go ahead."



She stood there without making any move.



Her action felt rather strange, so I took my gaze to her and although I wasn't really shocked, I wasn't expecting her actions.



She was attempting to take off her short see through dress. 



Didn't she say she's here to prepare my bath?



"What are you doing?" I asked with my brows slightly raised.



"M..my prince," she stuttered, still trying to undo the straps of her dress. "I...I...need you"



Not again! 



Is she doing this because I obliged the previous time? 



I'm the prince. I should be the one calling for her when I need her and not vice versa..



I admit she's good, but definitely not my spec. I'd always go for the petite and slender ladies compared to her type.



What am I even thinking?



I took my gaze to her, and found her half naked before me. 



"I was employed here to pleasure you, nothing else. If I don't serve the purpose, why then do I live?" She whispered in a submissive tone. "Please allow me, my prince."



I gazed at her bare body before me, and Vulnerable eyes. Deep down, I felt like resisting, but mother's words the day she was brought to me rang through my head.



"Her purpose is to satisfy your desires and pleasure you. She doesn't and cannot have a mate, if she doesn't serve the purpose, she'd die."



I groaned, knowing well enough that my body was already betraying me.



"Come here" I commanded, my voice low and husky. 



She obeyed, her eyes cast downward.



This would be the second time, although she's been here for over ten years.



Maybe it's time I succumb to the desires of my flesh and let my wolf be.



Her fingers traced my skin, sending shivers down my spine, she was skillful and knew where exactly to please.



I closed my eyes, surrendering to the sensation and letting myself be consumed.



The pleasure built, and I felt my control smiling as her expertise guided me to the edge, and I succumbed to release.



I exhaled, feeling rather relieved, was I perhaps holding onto something?



She smiled shortly and bowed. "I'll go prepare your bath  my prince. I'll wait until whenever you're ready for an "



I nodded, gesturing at her to go ahead.



She took her dress in her hand, and without bothering to put it on, she went into the bathroom.



As I stared at her, a sudden feeling of pity washed through me. Was I condemning her to a life of servitude, or saving her from a worse fate?



What could she have done to deserve such punishment? Or was I just over thinking?.



I shook my head, clearing the thoughts. 



Today is already a busy day, and my priorities need to be in order.



I'll find out about her some other time.



I undressed, trying a towel around my waist. That same instance She walked out of the bathroom, she'd already dressed up in her maids wear.



How come I'm just noticing it? She's the only maid in my mansion that puts on this dress; it's a short, fitted and  see-through dress.



Staring at her, alongside her messy hair, my body was already starting to betray me, and she wasn't even helping matters as she stood on the spot, staring seductively at me.



Just what is she?



A demon or something?.



"M...y prince" she whispered "I can help you out"



Her gaze trailed my bare chest downwards, as she took slow strides towards me.



'The council meeting' my subconscious mind yelled, snapping me back to reality.



"Some other time" I winked patting her hair like I'd do to Luciana's.



Although disappointment flashed through her eyes, she bowed slowly. 

"I've prepared your shower. Enjoy the rest of your day..and I'm not too far from you."



With that she walked out of the room, swaying her hips.



One moment she sounds naughty and the next minute she's timid...definitely not the feature of a werewolf. 



I'll find out soon enough.



...



I arrived at the Council chambers, my mind blank.

Dad was already seated, his expression stern. Beside him was Lenato, glaring at me.



"Lorenzo you're finally here, now we can begin" dad said, his tone formal.



The other council members nodded in agreement. I took my seat, and the meeting began.



It was centred around some meeting the supreme Alpha's had last night, concerning some war or something.



My thoughts drifted totally away from the meeting, to Luciana, and a part of it to Emma.



Just like Luciana Emma seems rather innocent and timid, so why's she a slave?



"Lorenzo, are you listening?" Dad asked sharply and I snapped back to attention.



"Yes, sorry for the distraction." I mumbled.



"Of course" Lenato huffed, jealousy clear in his voice. "The meeting couldn't start because you weren't present, and now it's going on and you're getting unnecessarily distracted."



I rolled my eyes, already used to his unnecessary jealousy, the reason for which I can't even pinpoint.



"Silence" dad ordered and from the corner of my eyes I could see the disgust creeping to the council members eyes.



"I should be allowed to air my opinion out too, right? Myself and Lorenzo are twins yet he gets the prince treatment while I get what?" He spat angrily, obviously pouring out previous bitterness I didn't know he'd been holding in.



"Alpha control your boys!" A council member muttered, while the others murmured their discomfort.



Dad's expression turned icy and disappointed. "Enough, Lenato. This is a council meeting, not a family therapy session." 



Lenato's face reddened in fury, but he clenched his jaw, silencing himself.



I shot him a curious glance, wondering what his resentment seemed deeper than mere sibling rivalry.



"Let's focus on the matter at hand, " Dad continued. "As you are aware Lorenzo, our pack has been undergoing attacks in the past weeks. We need to decide our stance."



I nodded, my thoughts snapping back to focus. "I agree. We can't let the attacks continue."



Lenato scoffed. "Oh, of course, the prince has spoken. Everyone bowed down."



Dad slammed his hand on the table. "Lenato, that's enough!"



The room fell silent, tension hanging heavily in the air…
