Chapter 24

Ina clad in a golden dress that underlined her curves with her curly hair, amazing golden eyes and a bit of golden powder to underline her cheeks she looked stunning.

She really stood out when she was walking in a wedding procession behind the newlyweds and their family. All invited guests were standing along the road and watching them. Ina and the other slaves from both parties were taking part in the procession, only to display the wealth of the parties. There were also new faces among servants, they were from the House of Salter. Among them the highly recommended Alpha, that was throwing glances at Ina.

Ina somehow knew her life would definitely change for the worse after the wedding was over.

The procession was long and impressive, a brag with the wealth of both families.

The bride and groom dressed in red colors entered their new estate and this time the sales were standing in two rows as all the other guests were flowing inside. There was a huge tent placed in the garden with tables and chairs for the guests.

As soon as the last person went inside all the servants rushed to do their work. The kitchen was already working at full speed. Ina was ordered to serve the food. Before the wedding their tasks were set and Ina was to deliver food on the table of the Salter's house along with three other servants. It was made deliberately, Ina shouldn't appear in front of the bride and at the same time as she was a rare and valuable slave they wanted to present her in front of the House Salter.

"Ina take these fruit plates." Ina swiftly took the plates and moved to the tables, she was placing them and immediately went back to the kitchen. She has made a few rounds like that and then she was standing with a jar full of wine and was watching which guest was in need of an additional portion. Ina was careful, she didn't have much experience in serving and spilling wine on a guest would end up ugly for her.

The party was getting louder, people were talking, someone was loudly congratulating the newlyweds and later some music was being played. Ina's jug became empty so she moved back to the kitchen. As she was struggling to refill it from a really heavy barrel, suddenly two strong arms grabbed it and helped her with the task.

"Thank you." Ina turned around only to notice the Salter's Alpha slave. The very one she was supposed to mate in Adeline's opinion.

Ina took the jar and wanted to leave but that Alpha blocked her.

"There's no rush, right now there are dancers to entertain the guests. My name is Tar." He smiled a bit and Ina decided to remain polite and get out of here as fast as she could.

'I'm Ina." She smiled back and wanted to walk him round. Tar stopped her again, bowed and sniffed at her neck. That was really rude, doing something like this when they were strangers to each other.

"Stop it!" Ina flinched, almost dropping the jar.

" You smell nice, I like it." He didn't say anything more and let her go, however Ina felt nervous for the rest of the party. She became more conscious of her surroundings and noticed a few gazes. She was watched by the guests, mostly male but also women. They all knew she was an Omega, a bed slave. Ina felt uncomfortable. There was another artistic show and later a fight between two Alphas. People were betting but Ina wasn't willing to watch it. She felt sorry for those men who had to shred blood for the amusement of the rich. She was about to leave under the pretense of fetching some more wine but she stopped as soon as she noticed who would be fighting. One of the men was Tar. His opponent was another bulky Alpha with a scar on his back. Tar for a moment caught Ina's gaze. Ina somehow stood still, she changed her mind and became curious about the fight's outcome.

The fight was violent, none of the Alphas wanted to lose. Tar grabbed the other man's arm, and threw him over his shoulder. The opponent swiftly stood up, dodged the kick and grabbed Tar's leg. Another loud thud on the ground. People around were shouting, fists were flying and blood was spilled. Everybody was overjoyed. Ina stood frozen among the cheering crowd. Tar won. He was standing there with blood droplets on his broad chest facing his owner Mrs Adeline who was clapping her hands and smiling brightly.

"What a stunning victory. Such Alpha deserves a reward." She stood up from her seat and approached her pet.

"Well well, is there something you'd like to get as a prize?" She asked with a sly smile. Tar looked in the direction of Ina. Ina within a second turned around and went to the kitchen, she literally felt all the gazes stuck to her back. She also noticed Jiha watching the whole scene with a displeased look. Ina hid round the corner only to hear.

"Your praise, my lady, is already a reward enough for me."

What a bootlicker, was Ina's thought. She peeked at them, Tar was actually kneeling in front of Adeline and kissing her hand. His actions were rewarded by the audience, who clapped eagerly. Ina brought the jar back to the kitchen.

The party lasted really long. Ina was tired and her feet were sore. Half of the company was drunk and one Alpha even tried to grope her ass. Ina managed to escape this situation, but she bumped into Tar again. He was watching her every move. Ina felt uneasy. She wanted to go back to her room. The party ended when Jiha took Adeline in his arms and carried her to their bedroom. Ina felt a stab right in her chest. Jiha wasn't hers anymore.
