Chapter 34

There was a short tension visual on the Omega's face but it eased soon. Adeline was satisfied. That's right her dad was a master at taming slaves, why hasn't she thought about it earlier? Adeline felt satisfied. Her husband was supposed to come back soon, yet she will explain to him that she has only done it to improve the slave's behavior.

Ina was frozen both in mind and body. She hoped to get back to her room and cry her heart out yet now it seemed impossible. Why were they going to Adeline's father's house? She needs to endure it, just a little bit longer.

Salter's estate was a luxurious large manor, surrounded by a trench filled with water. There even was a bridge leading to the main entrance. Ina followed Adeline behind. After all what happened Ina felt drained of emotions. She remembered father's words well. To honor his memory she will show them what desert wolves were made of. 

Adeline was almost immediately greeted by a high ranked servant and soon her father appeared. 

"Stay." Adeline ordered Ina and left with her father.

Time was flowing slowly. Ina closed her eyes and her thoughts were back with her father. All those few memories she still had with him and his very last moment. He was a true desert warrior and fearless even while facing his death. Ina knew he did all of this to make her stronger and he was so right. She shouldn't keep waiting for Jiha to help her and for any kind gesture coming from him. He wasn't her real Alpha. He was her owner, that's it. She heard some steps, Adelline was coming back with a wide grin on her face.

"You will stay here, my father agreed to give you proper training which you are lacking." She informed her with a high pitched voice. Then she looked at Ina with expectation.

Ina knew she wanted her to rebel and make a fool of herself so her father could punish her. No way. 

"As you wish, Lady Adeline." Ina lowered her head. In a blink of an eye all the lessons she had about proper behavior a slave ought to follow popped in her head. 

Adeline said nothing more, she simply left and Ina could only listen to her rushed steps slowly fading in the distance. 

She could smell his pheromones. Adeline's father, lord Belor, was an Alpha too. 

"Lift your head." Sharp voice, demanding obedience. 

Ina followed his command.

"You've got your mother' eyes. I always felt great pity I had to kill her. If only she was a bit more obedient." He sighted and Ina clenched her fists. 

Not yet, desert warrior, you must be patient. He wants to provoke you. Ina kept repeating that in her head.

"You seem to be different though." After a short moment he added." Leash." 

Ina handed him the end of the leash she was still wearing. Lord Belor turned around and led her deeper inside the house. They went straight to the bathroom.

"Strip and take a bath, I prefer my slaves clean." 

Ina didn't hesitate, there was no point. She took off the dress she was wearing and gracefully stepped into a big pool. There was nothing like the feeling of water on a sweaty skin. Ina couldn't get enough of it. Even if this old perv was watching her naked body Ina totally focused on taking a bath.

"Well it's a rare feeling for me but I truly envy Jiha." 

Ina looked at lord Belor who came closer to the pool. Ina hated that man however she knew he wouldn't touch her. After all, she was owned by Jiha and those nobles respected their own rules. That is why Ina looked at him, just the way she was looking at Jiha to make him go crazy. She said nothing yet a vein popped on his temple. He stood up abruptly and left the bathroom. Ina smiled, sooner or later she will kill him.

Shortly after, a servant came with new clothing for Ina. It was a very delicate material. Ina got dressed and followed the servant to the dining room. She immediately kneeled down next to the lord. There was a soft cushion on the floor and Ina was glad to have at least so much luxury. 

The food was brought to the table and the lord was eating alone, giving In some bites of food every now and then. He was shameless enough to touch her mouth a few times. Ina could sense his desire and she decided to make a gamble. It was risky but she wanted to make Jiha, Adeline and Belor fall apart. Jiha has been very obedient so far but was he willing to lose his Omega for another Alpha? As far as she knew Jiha, he won't let it slide. 

The awkward dinner finished and Ina was ordered to sit next to the Lord in a large sitting room. "You are quite tempting. You realize that you have no future in Jiha's and Adeline's house. My daughter will make your life a true hell." He patted her head with a gentle smile. "I like how obedient you are, in my house you will lack nothing. There is also no Lady Salter that would mind your presence. Here I would treat you well, possible children would be set free. Think about it, Ina. All you need to do is tell Jiha that you want to be here. I'll do the rest." 

Late in the evening ina was allowed to sleep in a separate room. As soon as she got there tears started to roll down her face. She was wiping her arms and hands with a wet towel as if she could get rid of the stench of that fucking Alpha. She hated him, his daughter and all this shit she was going through. They were killers, pitiful creatures without a bit of honor.

She missed her parents.
