The Dark Side of Fate

10 Meet Sylvester Volkov

-Tamia-

After waiting for hours in a room unattended, we were carried to what looked like a throne room and forced to kneel. To my surprise, I saw alphas’ daughters and sisters from our region in chains, kneeling. We were made to kneel with our heads bowed.

“The Alpha will examine you all. Those fit for his harem will be chosen. Those fit to serve will be chosen. Those yet to be placed will be reserved. Do not aggravate the Alpha by smiling or looking into his eyes. It might mean instant death for you. Being a beautiful, alluring woman means nothing to him. So do not think your beauty will entice him. If you aren’t a virgin, quickly state it, so we do not put you in the harem,” a hefty dark man said.

He had long hair and a beard too. He packed

it in a ponytail. His eyes were midnight blue, and He looked handsome. From the

authority he exuded, if he wasn’t the Alpha, then I was guessing he was the Beta, and it seemed Avery had the hots for the man. Too bad there was nothing attractive about the things he was saying.

“Am I clear?” The man said, and we all bowed our heads in response.

No one knew what to call him, and I had

learned silence was the best way to deal with such situations.

“Very well then,” he said.

We remained on our knees for a while until a sudden pressure overwhelmed us.

It was dark, and it pressed down on us. I did. not need to guess who had entered. I fought the urge to look up and see him, but it took a

lot of time and effort.

“Are these the trophies?” I heard a deep, commanding and alluring voice ask. There

was a gentleness and sternness to his tone that words could not describe.

“These are the daughters, untouched. Those are sisters, and those three are Lunas.” I heard the man describing us to his Alpha.

“I see,” He said, and he was silent. I heard footsteps.

“Service, “I heard the Alpha say.

I heard him walk through his trophies. He said the same thing over and over again. He said “reserve” but never said harem. I

wondered when he would say harem, but he did not say the word.

Soon I felt him close to me, and my heart began to pound in my chest.

I saw his feet in front of me. He wore a

slipper, and his feet were gigantic, easily

twelve inches. I felt his warm hand on my

chin, and he lifted my face.

Against my better judgment, I stared into his

eyes. I looked right at him, going against everything the other man had said, and I knew I had a defiant look on my face because I felt I shouldn’t be on my knees.
