Shortly after Alpha Jax left, Benjamin came into Ava’s room. He was painfully gay, and he didn’t hide it. He wore a light makeup, and rainbow coloured shirt on blue sweatpants. And, his eyes were a dark color, melding into gray.
Ava found herself staring at him. She’d never met a gay wolf in her life. Back at White-Moon park, these things were not practiced. It was considered a taboo and a heresy. It was so strange to see them at work here. It felt so awful.
“Quit staring, it’s rude,” Benjamin mumbled as he pulled the door shut.
Ava shifted on her seat, flustered. She decided not to make an enemy out of him. He could help her if the need arises. She’d learnt early, that it was best to make allies, not enemies.
“I’m sorry. I was just taken aback. It’s the first time I’m seeing a gay wolf. Or, are you human?” She asked tentatively.
Benjamin rose his left bejeweled fingers to his lips, as he had a slight laugh. He shook his head from side to side, making his long ponytail switch with him.
“Were you living under the earth or something?” He queried easily.
She smiled softly. “No, on the contrary, we were a huge population.” She said softly.
Benjamin shook his head, then walked directly toward her, taking her hand as he led her in front of the mirror. He sat her down on the dainty pink chair, while she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
With a finger, he brushed her hair slowly through its length. “Nice texture. I’m going to say this, Alpha Jax is one of the coolest Alphas, but he comes across as mean and obnoxious half the time. He doesn’t give a fuck about sexualities and there are no labels in here. Though, our neighbors who are humans put things in boxes. You grab?” He asked easily.
Ava nodded through the mirror, which made Benjamin wink at her as he leaned closer to her ear. His tongue was mere inches away from its skin, and she wasn’t sure how she felt about that.
“I fuck him, yea. I’m the leader of the sex slaves,” He said easily. “Ah! Don’t look so repulsed. The Alpha has some crazy needs that he loves to fill up. Now, to answer your very first question, I’m an omega! So, yea, that makes us kind,” He said softly.
Ava was stunned. She couldn’t believe the mate that had been destined for her was a fuck-boy. Did he sleep with anything that has legs? Or, was he even decent at all?
Benjamin fussed with her hair, clipping and all. She felt detached by it all. Her wolf , Ivanka was chattering nonstop, telling her to hurt Benjamin a little for sleeping with their mate. She quietened her softly, trying to offer solace to it.
“Look, we’re going for a vivid look. Alpha Jax loves his bitches on that look when he is parading them around half-naked. You would also get a tattoo and all during the rounds.” Benjamin informed her after a while.
She blinked. “Half naked?” Her voice shut out in disbelief.
Benjamin caressed her cheeks with his long nails. “Yes, half-naked! Don’t look so petrified. Ugh! You’re a wolf, right? You don’t hide, wear clothes to shift, you go naked. So, what’s the whole drama about?” He asked softly.
Ava swallowed, carefully leaning backward, so he would stop touching her, but the man didn’t get the drift.
“It’s not the same,” She managed. At his confused expression, she continued. “There is one thing going naked for runs because that is a part of your DNA, there is another thing going naked because you’re the Alphas object!” She whispered.
Benjamin pulled his hand away from her cheek, onto his own chin. He was observing her, while all Alpha wished to do was break something. This was just too much.
“You know, you’re the only one who has the reservations. I was pretty excited when it was my time. Maybe, I was so confident in my own body,” He winked at her. “But on a serious note, you don’t belong to this park, and with the way you reacted because of my sexuality, you’re so naive. So, I’m going to help you cover the most important parts with makeup, so you don’t feel overly exposed, ok?” He said softly.
“Ok, but why?” Ava asked in shock.
Benjamin moved away, grabbing contour brushes and a lip-kit. “Don’t ask me that.” He said softly.
Ava nodded, respecting his wishes. She clamped her hands together, willing herself to be strong. Benjamin didn’t know she wasn’t just a sex slave. Though, Alpha Jax hasn’t acknowledged her yet. But, it barely changed her position in his life.
Benjamin came back with his tools, cleaning and decking up her face. There were no words between them, and she was so grateful for the silence. She couldn’t bear it if someone said another word. She needed to think, or rather talk to her wolf, Ivanka.
“Iva! What can we do about these? Our mate doesn’t want us. We have no idea what he’s like, but we heard isn’t good so far,” She mind-linked her wolf.
“I know what you mean. But, he’s ours. We can’t give up! He is going to love us if we put on energy.” Ivanka said, her voice a soft feline texture.
Ava bit the inside of her lips, till she tasted blood. “All that is ok, but you know he wants us as his sex slave,” She tried to reason with her wolf.
Ivanka growled in her ear. “Yes, I do. You were told to be a sex slave when you came here. That’s not news! It would be great. Just assume you’re fulfilling our mate’s needs,” She reasoned.
Ava blocked Ivanka out of annoyance. How could she become a sex slave to her mate? She has never heard of such a thing. And, somehow, she wasn’t sure she would be able to go through with it.
