Benjamin was finally done with the whole aesthetics he had going on Ava’s skin. He gave her a blue robe to cover her nakedness from prying eyes which she was grateful for. She hoped that the paintings would be enough to push the perverts away from her. The last thing she wanted was to have a group of manic wolves panting behind her.
“You’d be fine! You’re a doll, anyway,” Benjamin hyped Ava up fiercely, like he heard her innermost thoughts.
She tried to offer a thin smile, but it was proving so difficult to do. She looked back at her heavily made-up face which was reflected on the mirror, she looked like a clown and not a young beauty. At least, that was what she assumed.
The door flung open at that moment, and Alpha Jax made his way into the room. He seemed to be bristling and she didn’t know why. His eyes were cold as he took in her appearance. She swallowed hard, wondering if he liked the outfit at least, or maybe it was standard procedure to make her life hell.
“Ben, take that robe off,” He said simply.
She looked at Benjamin, and it was quite evident he was uneasy about that request. Ava tried to push her chin up and do her best to maintain her dignity, while she stopped the robe from sliding down her shoulders.
“No, I’m not going around naked,” She said softly.
Alpha Jax gave her a look. “There is no decency for my slaves. You want to act like a nun, you shouldn’t have been a sex slave. Now, Ben, take that robe off.” He said coldly.
Ava felt like she was actually falling off a height, with no-one to hold her up. He’d practically shamed her in front of Benjamin like it was absolutely normal. Ben walked over to her, his gait sexual. She pulled her eyes from him, and turned to Alpha Jax. His cold persona greeted her eyes, and she hated him for acting so laid back, when he was practically disrupting her life , and a mockery out of everything she did and was.
“I’m you…”
“Slave? I like it when you know exactly where you belong.” He said coldly.
Ava bit her lip from saying anything. She was beyond hurt by his audacity, and scorn to label as nothing but a sex slave. Her eyes gravitated towards Benjamin, who was looking at her in worry. She gave him a nod to get on with it. They couldn’t defer the inevitable.
Benjamin nodded once, and carefully pulled the robes off her shoulders. The material tumbled down, and she shied away in shame. She didn’t look at her mate, to gauge his reaction.
“What the hell is this?” Alpha Jax boomed.
Ava turned slowly toward him, as his irritation confused her. Did he find her disgusting? She’d never thought she looked bad, and it wasn’t like she had a dick between her legs.
“What’s…”
“I’m asking you something!” He snapped at Benjamin.
Benjamin was so red. He looked back at Ava in panic. Ava knew what was wrong now. It was the colors. She’d momentarily forgotten about it when she’d stood naked in front of the Alpha, but now, it was difficult to ignore it.
“It’s not Benjamin’s fault. I…” She tried to cover up for him.
“Was I talking to you, slave?” He asked coldly.
Her hands dropped to her sides as she was so stunned to speak. The way he just spoke to her was beyond rude and totally hurtful. ‘This man wasn’t my mate, right?’ Maybe, she made a mistake gauging her emotions, she thought.
“Master, I thought I should go a bit artistic because she was quite uncomfortable showing her body to the members of the pack. I’m sorry,” Benjamin mumbled dejectedly.
Alpha Jax was breathing so high at this point. He looked like they were the enemies endangering his pack. It was so beyond scary, and honestly, Ava didn’t care about his feelings. It was as awful as his features.
“Lies,” Ivanka piqued up.
Ava mentally told Ivanka to shut up! She had no time for her nonsense right now. If everything Jax did pleased her, she didn’t want to hear her speak one bit. She was better off buried inside of her.
“Don’t do this ever again! I feel like I’ve given you too much freedom, that’s why you have the audacity to do shit like this. She is a cunt and she does not deserve respect. The sooner you understand that sad truth, the better it would be for you,” Alpha Jax warned.
She felt like throttling him. Oh, my goddess! Who gave birth to such a sadist? He was beyond a bully! It was unreal! She watched him walk over, taking a bucket from the side of her room. She stood her ground, unwilling to make him see how much he affected her.
He stood a step away from her, and she glared at him. At that moment, there were only two of them there. Though she glared at him, her heartbeat sped up. His eyes were shimmers of darkness that would certainly be her undoing.
Her thoughts weren’t formed completely, when Alpha Jax poured her the hot steamy water. She jumped away in horror, something akin to a screech rising up her throat.
“That is much better! Those stupid colours has finally washed off your skin. It was so awful!” He said amused.
Ava kept shaking like a leaf in water or more explicitly, a fish out of water. She felt scared as her eyes went red in tears. A quick glance at Benjamin showed he was quite stunned by the scene.
“And, get her in chains. I don’t want any fancy colors this time. Do you understand me this time, Ben?” Alpha Jax queried.
“Yes, Alpha!” Benjamin said politely.
Alpha Jax made his way out of the room, and all Ava could think of was how she’d gone from frying to fire. There was no confusion now. Alpha Jax was not her mate!
