Veronica.
The sounds of high pitched screams pierced the air and I stiffened on the chair I sat on, the maids who were dressing me up pausing as well. They all exchanged furtive glances between each other before clamping up and continuing to brush my hair. I rolled my eyes, finding their actions mildly amusing.
“Did the Shifter Kings purchase another slave?’ I asked aloud as one began to braid my hair while another was preparing the pins and broches that would be used. Through the mirror, I watched as her expression faltered slightly before the found the courage to continue.
“It would seem so, your highness.” The one braiding my hair responded, her voice filled with sad resignation. “The Werewolf King went out earlier today. He must have purchased a slave.” She added before letting the braid over my shoulder while another one deftly suck beautiful pins to it. Reaching my hand to touch my hair, I marveled out how soft it was, the light gleam it was emanating as it was hit with the candlelight.
I pouted my lips in displeasure, staring at my reflection in the mirror and admiring myself. “Hmm, I don’t know why they keep doing that when they can just summon me. Don’t they know already that the people they buy can’t satisfy their needs?” I asked, clicking my tongue.
The maids behind me just exchanged glances, neither do of them daring to speak as they lowered their heads. Another scream pierced the air, louder and more agonizing than the last one. A chuckle broke out of my lips and I stood to my feet. “Whoever she is, she really isn’t enjoying whatever it is they were doing to her.” I muttered, letting out a soft sigh. “Poor girl.” I mumbled underneath my breath as I made my way to my grand size bed, my velvet robe trailing behind me.
I gestured to one of the maids to bring me some snacks and she rushed out of my chambers with immediate effect. A while later, she was back with a tray filled with different kinds of delicious snacks and treats. They brought it close to me amd I gestured for them to place it on the bed, I took a piece of grape from the bunch and popped it into my mouth, crushing it under my teeth, swallowing it’s delicious juice.
“Those men have an insatiable appetite. She’s in for a long ride.” I continued as if someone was listening to me. Once again, the maids exchanged furtive glances before looking down at their feet. Suddenly irritated by their presence, I dismissed them. They were all too glad to leave me alone as they scurried out of my chambers, leaving behind trails of dust. I chuckled at their nervousness. It was strange to me that I had such an effect on them. Puny little things.
Another scream pierced the air and I rolled my eyes, scoffing slightly. A brew of bitterness began to simmer in the pit of my stomach. I’ve never liked it when the kings found sexual pleasure in the hands of other people but I’ve never complained because most of them never survived the night. They always died like ants, crushed between the shifter kings fingers. It was almost pitiful to think that way, realizing that their lives was snuffed out that way.
Only I could handle the sadistic desires of those devious men. It was why I was their only mistress. A self satisfied smile grew on my face and I stood to my feet, slowly pacing around the room. I have been with them for centuries and I have never gotten tired of it. I loved the thrill, loved seeing how much pain I could take before giving up. I couldn’t deny it, I was a masochist who loved inflicting pain on others. It was the perfect combination if you ask me.
Once again, another scream rose high in the air, filled with so much pain and agony. I paused, my eyes widening as I stared out the window, down to the place where the actions was taking place. “Wow… Why is she so loud? It’s really not that terrible. No one has ever told the poor girl to relax?” I asked, giggling aloud. Returning back to the bed, I laid on it and continued to eat my grapes, enjoying the burst of flavor that exploded in my mouth every time I bit into one.
I should probably prepare myself. Those puny little things can never satisfy the voracious appetite of those kings. They would need to finish after they have been riled up by those things. I smiled, rolling to the side of the bed. I can’t wait to be summoned, it has been a while.
I closed my eyes, the sounds of those horrified screams sounding like music to my ears.
