The three women entered the room, their steps soft and graceful as they approached her where she was standing, still half-asleep. The first woman stepped forward, her hair pulled back into a tight bun and a gentle smile on her face.

"Good morning, miss," she said, her voice low and melodic. "I am Marta, and these are my colleagues, Maria and Isabella."

Maria, a petite woman with curly hair, gave a quick nod in greeting, while Isabella, the tallest of the three, simply smiled warmly.

"We are here to help you get ready for your husband," Marta continued, gesturing towards the wardrobe filled with a myriad of beautiful clothes. "We'll help you choose the perfect outfit and make sure that you look your best."

Lily's Voice trembled as she asked them "M-My Master? Who-who is my m-master?" she stuttered, struggling to articulate her words.

The maids exchanged confused glances, before one of them stepped forward and spoke softly. "My dear, Alpha Ramirez is your mate and master now. He has claimed you as his own and you are rightfully his."

The words felt like a physical blow to Lily at the reminder that she was now a man's property. She crumpled to the ground, tears streaming down her face again. The maids rushed to her side, comforting her and speaking in soothing tones. "There, there, my dear," one of them said as she stroked the young woman's hair. "It's going to be alright. We are here to help you."

As the maids consoled her, Lily struggled to regain control of her emotions. She had thought that she had seen the worst of Ramirez, but the thought of being his property, his possession, filled her with a dread she had never known before.

The maids, sensing her distress, continued to speak in calming voices, telling her of their own experiences and how they had come to accept their fate. They told her of the many luxuries and privileges that came with being a wife of Ramirez, but Lily could not hear them.

All she could think of was the evil gleam in Ramirez's eyes and the fear that he would come for her again. The maids tried to reassure her, but it was to no avail. Her sobs filled the room, echoing through the halls of the grand mansion.

As she lay there, her body wracked with sobs, the maids looked at each other, particularly concerned about how frail and innocent she looked.

And with that, the maids continued to hold the young woman, whispering words of comfort until she finally succumbed to exhaustion and allowed them to help her up.

The three of them gently led her to the bathroom, easing her out of the white nightwear she had slept in. She stammered and stuttered as she tried to resist, wanting her privacy, but the maids were firm, yet gentle, assuring her that everything will be okay.

The oldest among them, a woman with a lined face and hair pulled back in a tight bun, barked out orders to the others, telling them to hurry up as Ramirez wouldn't want his time to be wasted. The other two nod, bustling about as they filled the bathtub with warm, fragrant water.

The water felt like a warm embrace to her, soothing her sore and aching muscles. One of the maids began to wash her hair, massaging her scalp and neck, while the other two tended to her body, washing and moisturizing her skin. The oldest among them, Marta, stood at the doorway, keeping an eye on the time.

After a while, she came to join them other two and stood around the tub while chatting among themselves as they worked to make her presentable for her husband, Ramirez.

Maria, the one with graying hair and wrinkled skin, spoke up first. "You know, Ramirez is a ruthless man," she said in a hushed tone. "He won't hesitate to hurt you if you cross him."

Isabella nodded in agreement. "Yes, I've heard seen how he's punished those who have defied him. It's best to be on his good side," she said.

Maria, a plump woman with a kind face, chimed in. "But you must not be too afraid. He's not all bad," she said. "If you do as he asks and show him the respect he deserves, he'll be good to you."

Marta snorted. "Respect? He demands it," she said. "But if you give it to him, he'll reward you. If you don't, well, let's just say it won't end well for you."

The younger maids nodded in agreement. "You must be careful, especially when it comes to him. He's very particular about how his wife should act and behave."

Maria smiled reassuringly at her. "Just do as he says and you'll be fine," she said. "And if you ever need help, we'll be here for you. We know what it's like to be in your shoes."

The women continued their conversation, exchanging stories and advice on how to navigate life as Ramirez's wife. Despite the fear that lingered in the back of her mind, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. Perhaps these women could be her allies in this new and frightening world she found herself in.

As they helped her out of the bath, the oldest maid handed her a towel and helped her dry off. They then led her to the wardrobe to pick out a beautiful, red gown for her to wear.

The wardrobe was made of beautiful mahogany wood, polished to a high shine. It was at least three times the size of her old closet and filled with an endless variety of clothes.

From dresses to skirts, pants, and tops, the wardrobe was a veritable treasure trove of fashion. Every piece was crafted from the finest fabrics and trimmed with the finest embellishments. She could see the meticulous attention to detail in every stitch and every hem.

But something was off, almost all the clothes had red in them. She had been too scared last night to notice any of that.

She gazed at the vast sea of crimson fabric that filled the wardrobe. It was as if the very walls were steeped in the color, a symbol of the control and power that her husband held over her. She couldn't help but feel a shiver of fear run down her spine.

But then, one of the maids caught her gaze and offered her a gentle smile. "Your husband has a fondness for the color red, madam," she explained, her voice as smooth as satin. "It's said to symbolize passion and love."

However, in her mind, she couldn't help but scoff at the idea, knowing that the man who had brought her here was anything but passionate or loving. The thought of him even associating with such emotions was far-fetched and surreal.

"Time to put on makeup!" Maria chimed in, leading her to vanity at the far edge of the room while the others grabbed the cosmetics.

The three maids expertly tended to her, wiping away her tears and beginning their work. They started by washing her face and covering the dark circles that had formed underneath her eyes.

They used a soft cloth and gentle, circular motions, cleansing her skin and preparing it for makeup. Next, they began applying foundation, starting at her forehead and working their way down to her chin. They took care to blend the foundation seamlessly into her skin, creating a flawless canvas.

They then moved on to her eyes, carefully applying eyeshadow and eyeliner to accentuate her features.

They use neutral colors, knowing that Ramirez likes his women to look natural. Next, they add a soft blush to her cheeks, giving her a rosy glow. Finally, they applied a neutral lipstick, completing the look.

The maids then step back, admiring their handiwork. They nod in approval, satisfied with the transformation they had made.

They helped her get dressed, picking out a beautiful, flowing dress that complemented her curves and made her look both sophisticated and alluring.

They finished the look with delicate jewelry, making sure she sparkled in the light. The fabric was soft against her skin and it fit her perfectly, accentuating her curves in all the right placesWhen they were done, they turned to her, smiling, and told her that she was ready to meet her husband.

They gently placed delicate, shimmering jewelry on her, each piece more exquisite than the last. Diamonds twinkled from her earlobes, sparkling like stars in the night sky, while a string of pearls hung gracefully around her neck.

Despite the sadness that filled her heart, Lily was surprised at the transformation; she had switched from a tattered and beaten creature to a beautiful and radiant woman, she barely recognized the reflection staring back at her.

She wondered how long it would be before all this ended. Maria nodded her approval, declaring her ready to meet Ramirez.

Lily's mind suddenly went blank like an austere room, She wouldn't bring herself to reply to him, So she closed her eyes waiting for the Pain to overwhelm her. She expected him to chose the Hot Burning Rod to inflict Pain on her but she didn't feel any Pain. With her heartbeat skeptically beating, She opened her eyes to meet Ramirez sitting staring at her with an unfanthomable expression.

She slowly rose from her slumped position on the bed to meet Ramirez's blank stare. For a while, She thought he had regretted what he had done and was currently reminiscing on the events that had just taken place, But as always, She was wrong.

As as she got a full look at him, His blank stare turned into a wide smile that seemed off and soon morphed into a wide smirk, Her heart sank, He would always taunt her.

"I won't have a colloquy with you, I'll just taunt you, I'll scar you and I'll frighten you" He moved around the room flexing his muscles before her "I'll make you regret ever meeting me"

And just like that, He was gone.

At that moment, Lily was forced by her mind to concede that Alpha Ramirez was one of two things; He was either someone who had been really hurt in the past or he was just a bad person.

She looked down at her hands to spot budging scars, She sighed with pity for herself.

Soon, The Maids came into the room and transported her back into her room with a sense of urgency and spoed.

"What's the Problem?, Is something going on?" She asked panicking

"No, Not at all Luna" Isabella replied "The King asked that we tidied you up and keep you company"

Feeling a little warmth in her heart after the rough session she had just been through with him, Lily Smiled with a little blush appearing on her cheek.

For the umpteenth time since she had met Aolah Ramirez, She thought "Maybe he has some warmth to him after all"

"I'm Hungry, Can I get some food?" She asked with her stomach growling loudly to her embarrassment.

"Yes, My Luna, The Alpha's chefs are preparing a buffet for you, We didn't know what you'd like, So there's going to be a Variety, Shall we get ready?" Martha Asked with a warm smile.

"Sure, Let's get ready" She replied happily "Is the Alpha going to be there?"

"Sadly, The Alpha isn't going to be in your presence for today's Lunch, He is dealing with pack business right now" Isabella Answered.

A Part of her felt Sad that he wouldn't be coming while the other was content and happy with the news that he wouldn't be coming for Lunch.

After tidying up, She chose to wear a blue gown with platform heels. As she proceeded to the Lunch room with the Maids, She came across with other people, As she approached them, They cleared the road for her usage and bowed in respect. Flustered and Surprised, A light shade of pink coloured her cheeks and ears.

The Lunch room was massive and quiet with Elegant furniture and large paintings. On the Flamboyant table layed Fine delicacies and Expensive Drinks, Lily's mouth watered and she instantly sat down before the table and gobbled up the different delicacies, After she ate to her fill, She told the maids that she wanted to go outside.

The Outside Compound of the Alpha's compound was large and flamboyant, The sun was up but scarcely shinning and a cool breeze lightened the Atmosphere. She walked across the Pavement to the gardens, She received bows from strangers and she got used to the states she received.

Coming from the other side of the Castle was a man, Presumably an Alpha, Escorted by the guards, He looked Handsome and of a good physical physique. He walked with exceeding confidence and Pride but on his face was a smile. He walked towards lily with his escorts and bowed to her, Introducing himself.

"I'm Antonio, Ramirez's Cousin" He said as she rose from the bow and extended his hand forward for a hand shake.

"I'm Lily, Nice to meet you" She replied taking his handshake and smiling.

Although, The man was handsome with good physical features like Alpha Ramirez, He was totally different from him in terms of the aura they both carried around, While Ramirez harboured a Dark Aura, His cousin, Antonio exceeded a Bright Aura and Demeanour.

"I see you're the Luna, Congratulations!" He said

"Yeah, I guess so" Lily answered with lingering nervousness.

"You don't need to be scared, You have nothing to be Afraid of, Except Maybe Ramirez" Antonio mentioned "But he'll come around soon, You just wait and be patient, You see he was hurt a long time ago and the events have scared him, He needs time to come back to his self"

"Sure, Thank you for the advice" She replied as her smile retracted from her mouth.

"Do you want to see the city?" He asked with a gleaming smile and a twinkle in his eyes.

"Is that okay?" Lily asked with cautiousness

"It's fine, Nothing will happen to you, Take my hand and let's go"

Witha hesitant look at her maids and a look at Antonio, She took his hands and walked with him towards the Car waiting for them.

The Pair toured the city with great amazement from Lily and satisfaction from Antonio. After their little tour, They returned to the Palace in the wee hours of the night, While Antonio bade her goodbye and went back to his quarters, Lily made her way to her room with great difficulty.

As she went back to her room and locked the door, She heaved a sigh of relief and rested against the door.

"And just where have you been all day?" A voice came from her bed.

Scared and shaky, Lily jumped from her position and turned on the lights to meet an angry Ramirez on her bed.

"I was touring the city with your cousin, Antonio" Came the shaky reply from Lily.

He rose from the bed and took slow strides towards her, The frown on his face growing libidinous

"I don't remember giving you permission to be out and about with my cousin"

He stood face to face with Lily and looked her in the eyes with a smirk on his face.

"You belong to me, You're mine and You don't have my permission to be out and about with my cousin" He roared out in frustration, An unfamiliar look overtaking his features.

"I'll make sure it doesn't happen again" Lily replied with her voice shaky and breathless.

"I'm having second thoughts on letting you out of this room, You might try to run away" He whispered to her almost Maniacally.

Fear gripped her body as he finally touched her hands, A psychotic look came over his face as he grinned at her.

"You won't try to run away, Will you?" He asked quietly

"You won't try to run away from here, Will you?" He asked again his voice rising from the normal repulsive tone.

"I won't, I wouldn't dare to do that" Lily replied with a shaky tone.

She looked up at him and at that moment, He looked almost vulnerable to Lily, She brought up her hand to his face and stroked his cheek and gave him a small comforting smile. He didn't back away and he didn't scream at her but he had an unreadable expression on his face, Lily almost bakced away from him scared that he would strike her unaware with an insult or Smirk.

He stared at Lily with such burning hatred in his face, He looked around the car and scoffed aloud.

"You're nothing to me, and what did you smoke?, What makes you think we're equals" He aksed grudgingly.

"I-i" Lily stuttered out, Her words were suddenly stuck in her throat and they refused to come out.

"You're simply a puppet in my hands, Nothing less, Nothing more" He said smiling deviously at her. He knew the effect he had on her and he liked it.

Ignoring his declaration, She held his hand and took it up with a small smile.

"Let's go, Our subjects await us, We mustn't delay " She said as she pulled him down from the car. He wasn't satisfied with her reaction as he wanted her to show her sadness or Anger at his words. He was totally bewildered by her sudden change of reaction.

They were received by the Pack members who led them to their seats at the Uppermost part of the Platform. Lily was Amazed at the Largeness of the City Hall and the the People who were present.

Are they all werewolves?, This pack is Large

The building was large, The simplicity of the architecture brought out it's real beauty and stood tall, Proudly apart and distinct from the other Building of the street.

A Maid led us to a Sitting Area that was embedded in the building, Unlike the Actual build itself, The sitting area was of Sophisticated Architecture and beauty. The sitting Area was high above the ground level, and it overlooked the floor.

"This is Where we'll be sitting" Alpha Ramirez said to her "The pack members are here to meet you and swear their loyalty to you through Gifts, Letters and Pledges of Protection. After each swearing of protection, You have to touch their head with your palms as a sign of Acknowledgment"

Lily's eyes widened in suprise as she looked around at the Large mass of people.

"All of these people" She asked bewildered.

"Yes, Each and every one of the people here will come forward to show your respect and Pledge their loyalty" He answered.

Immediately after his brief explanation, The horns blared out informing the Pack members to take their places In a single line. Martha, Maria and Isabella quickly gathered at the side of Lily to assist her in receiving gifts from the people.

So, One by One they all came forward, While some Pledged their loyalty by offering gifts, Others offered their Pledges of Protection while others offered Letters. Then a girl stepped forward, She seemed Older than Lily but younger than Alpha Ramirez, She offered her gust to the Luna while staring straight into the Eyes of the Alpha, Ramirez. She smiled ludicrously at him and shifted her gaze to the new Luna.

"I offer my gift to you, O wise Luna, May your days be Long on Earth" She said loudly. With Lily touch on her head, She left.

Lily looked to the Alpha and his lingering smile persisted as her looked at the girl away her hips from afar. Unsuspecting and Innocent, Lily decided to disregard the quiet scenario that has just taken place.

At the end of the thousand pledges of protection that she had received from the thousand pack members of the pack, Lily was exhausted. She fell asleep on the chair in which she sat on.

After the Pack members paid homage to the Alpha and the sleeping Luna, Alpha Ramirez turned his attention to his Luna and watched her sleep for a while, Recently, He had found himself staring at her and once in a while, The idea that she was cut popped up in his head but he was always quick to dismiss it.

"She's a beauty" A voice called from the back.

"Huh"

"Your Luna, She's a beauty, A very Pure Aura revolves around her" Antonio called from the back

"Take your fucking eyes away from her, When are you going back anyways?" Ramirez asked rudely.

"Dear Cousin, I'll be here for a while, But not to worry, You won't see or hear much of me, I'll be out partying and touring the city" Antonio answered tauntingly.

"Your Luna and I toured the city together, I must say she's so pretty" He admitted pursing the topic with the Aim of angering his cousin.

Antonio took his hands to Lily's face, As he tried to push the stray hair that had wandered far away from the neatly packed hair. Immediately, Using his Alpha reflexes, He held Antonio's hands over his head as his eyes turned to a dark shade of red.

"Woah, Calm down Alpha, I was only trying to put the stray hair away" Antonio said with satisfaction, As his mission had been completed.

"I'll put the stray hair away by myself, She's my Luna anyways" He said as he put the stray hair away himself.

The Event soon came to an end

"Alpha, Shall I get the Beta, Rodrigo, to get the Luna I to the car?" Maria asked the Alpha.

"No, I'll get her into the car by myself, You may go" He replied.

He picked his Luna, She was as light as a feather and she stirred in her sleep but soon fell asleep under his comfortable gaze.

____

Lily jolted up immediately, She woke up in her room and looked around strangely before recalling the events of the night before. She remembered peering up at Alpha Ramirez as he carries her to the car. She wanted to Live in the moment and she decided to remajn mute.

She walked out of the room and met Martha arranging for breakfast to be brought to her room.

"Where's Alpha Ramirez?" She asked

"He's eating in his room, My Luna" Martha Replied.

"Them let me have my breakfast there" She said "Isabella, Lead me to the Alpha's Wing, I haven't been there since I've arrived"

"Yes Your Majesty, I'll show you the way to the King's Wing"

Lily knew there was a big possiblity that the Alpha would get annoyed at her presence and shout or hurl some harmful object at her, But she was okay with it, At least for now.

The Maid Knocked at his door and he answered from inside his room with a rasped and deep morning voice.

"Who?"

"Your Highness, Your Luna is here to see you"

After a short pause, He decided to let her in. Lily was happy at her accepted entry into the King's Wing of the Castle, She thought it would be unlikely for her to be screamed at.

"Alpha Ramirez, Good Morning, It's a fine day isn't it" She asked smiling

Without answering her, He chuckled lightly and pointed at the edge of the bed, Indicating that he was asking her to have her seat.

"Thank you" She replied.

"I see you're a Morning Person, Same as me" He said

"Yeah, Alpha Ramirez, I enjoy being active in the mornings" She continued "I didn't take it that you'd be a morning person though"

He chuckled again and Lily felt happy that the morning was going well, She hoped he wouldn't immediately change his mood and do something absurd.

The Maids soon brought in Lily's food and left the room for the Leading Pair. The silence that loomed in the Air as the Alpha and Luna both had breakfast quietly wasn't awkward or Tense, It was peaceful and serene.

"My revenge plan starts in a few days" He said abruptly, Lily heart was beating loudly in her chest, She looked up at the Alpha and she immediately predicted a foul change in the prevailing mood that was in the air.

"Your what?" She asked purposely, She had heard the question but she was to scared to push further

"You'll be the bait" He replied "The maids will dress you up and you'll draw in my enemies, Girls like you are what they like"

The look of horror was prominent on the face of Lily, She was just an omega and Alpha Ramirez was planning to put her in some dangerous revenge work scheme.

"Bu-But, What if I don't want to do it?" She asked, Her doe eyes pointing upwards looking at the Alpha with pain.

Immediately, Alpha Ramirez stood up and attached his large arms to ber neck, He then lifted her up as she screamed for help, He carried her to the middle of the roomand gave her the impression that he was going to slam her into the wall. After a while of taunting her, He dropped her to the floor of the room.

"That will happen to you, If you don't obey my rules and respect my wishes, You're my Luna and You'll do as I say" He said with happiness as he watched Lily gasp for Air and sob silently "I'll pass the date to your maids, You'll be taken to a building and you'll meet some men, They'll do as they like and wish to you but you must endure the pain or die"

"Y-Yes Alpha Ramirez" She replied quietly

"Now, Rise up and finish your breakfast, You should go back to your room and rest after all the work you've done yesterday" He said

Lily hurriedly ate a few pancakes and proceeded to leave the room when Alpha Ramirez's voice stopped her.

"You double cross me, You die. You run away and you're dead" He whispered to her

Lily hurriedly left the Alpha's Wing to go to her roomz She was glad to have gotten away from the suffocating tension that was evident in the Room she had just left.

After a while, She remembered she had left her phone in the King's Wing, She hated having to go backgi pick it up but she really needed it. She rose from her bed and moved towards the Alpha's room, On opening it she got the biggest suprise of her life.

Alpha Ramirez was having sex with another person, And it was the girl with the Lingering eyes from the Werewolf blessings se had done. On her entry into the room, She looked towards Alpha Ramirez who had a blank look on his face and at the girl who had a boisterous look on her face, She laughed after a while and turned to Alpha Ramirez to plant a kiss on his lips.

Shaking away every thought away from her mind, She walked towards the bed where her phone lay, picked it up and mad her exit out of the Alpha's room.

When she got outside, She met her Maids looking at her with pity, She looked at them with questioning eyes angmd walked away from them. The Maids walked with her to the room and sat her down..

"Luna, I've wanted to tell you this for a very long time but I couldn't bring my self to do it" Martha muttered out.

"The king has multiple sex partners, But his favorite is Madison Induvia, She's a family friend and she has been friends with the King since he was a little child" Isabella explained "We thought he'd stop with you being here but apparently not"

"It's fine, He can do whatever he wants, I don't care anyways" She lied.

"Be strong Luna" Martha said quietly

"What's Madison Induvia like?" Lily asked curiously wanting to have an insight to what the life of the Woman with the Arrogant smile was like.

"From what I've heard, She's a Model and a Fashion Designer" Maria who had been quiet all along suddenly chiped in "She's a proud bitch and he enjoys spending money that isn't hers"

"Yeah, And what makes it worse is that the Alpha keeps sleeping with her, He gives her the right to think she's important in this Castle" Isabella Said.

If all that Martha, Maria and Isabella has said was true, She and Madison Induvia wouldn't get along well. She was hurt that the King had concubines but what couks she do?, She wanted to Avoid been slammed against the wall violently, So she had to keep her mouth shut.
