Chapter-33. Servitude

[Xanthea]

I stepped out of Raven's cabin. The door closed with a soft click behind me.

A shiver ran down my spine. The cold air brushed past my skin, carrying with itself the warmth from his touch that still lingered on my body. The heat and high still throbbing through my veins to my core.

I tried to fasten up the chain of my dress from the back, but it was broken. Crossing my hands over my chest, I held the dress from falling off my body.

I couldn't go back to my room looking like this-

"What the hell, Raven!" I flinched at Nyssa's growl.

"What?"

"You fucking know what I am talking about! And that nurse, you really spared her life?" she snapped.

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Because the omega won. I couldn't deny her victory, but I couldn't let her celebrate it either," he grunted. "So... things happened."

"Yeah, so you were celebrating her victory by fucking her on the couch!" Nyssa gasped. "Wait! Did she trade that nurse's life for sex? When did you start trading things like this for sex, Raven? And with a lowlife omega like her? What is going on with you? What is wrong with you?"

"I didn't fuck her..." he said calmly.

"Oh really? Then I must be hallucinating because you clearly wanted to!"

"Nonsense. I was only scaring her."

"Scaring her? The bulge in your pants says otherwise. And what is this victory shit again? How the hell did she win?"

Raven replied with his silence.

"I can't believe this. You accept she won? Raven, do you know what that means? It means you accept... your defeat?" Nyssa's voice was charged with disbelief and rage.

My heart pounded louder as the silence lingered heavily in his cabin until he...

"Just look at the reports yourself... I am having a horrible headache already. Don't make it worse..." he grunted, irritatingly.

There was silence in his cabin for a while, and then I heard a low whisper.

"How is this possible-" I heard Nyssa's voice.
