At the same time, Vivian was happy to see Rogan as he had left this place for almost a year. They both left the room to welcome Rogan downstairs. Vivian gave him a tight hug while he and Maddox smiled and hugged. Rogan was served food and drink to appease his hunger, after they had conversed and laughed over a lot, Maddox excused himself to his room.
“So, Vivian, tell me, what have I missed so far?” Rogan asked.
“Well, you've not missed much, though.”, Vivian smiled.
“You and Maddox are still intimate, right?” Rogan asked.
“Yes.”, She smiled.
“Your dream is finally coming true. Soon, he'll ask you to be his mate.”, Rogan teased.
“I would have sworn it looked so sure, but this whore they just brought in seems to be sharing him with me.”, Vivian scoffed.
“Whoa … Vivian, you said I didn't really miss out on anything. This is too big to be buried, tell me about it.”, Rogan urged.
Maddox captured the Sunshine Clan's princess, and he has been inflicting pain on her in all ways, including sexually.
“Whoa! Really? That's a big win! I guess he's doing that to make her feel worse than he felt. Don't worry, you won't lose Maddox.”, Rogan assured.
Maddox went to the underground cell with Rogan, and Rogan was astonished by her beauty. Nisha, on the other hand, thought Maddox brought another man to sleep with her, she stood up and growled, with her eyes, bright blue and claws out, ready to strike.
“Oh! You've gotten confident, Nisha. Well, he's my friend and I didn't bring him to sex you.”, Maddox said.
Nisha couldn't believe her ears, but it was true, anyway.
“So, you've brought someone in to have sex with her?” Rogan asked interestingly.
“Yes. I had the general fuck her, we both abused her sexually.”, Maddox said.
Nisha felt shame, the way Maddox had put it hurt her pride.
“You're going to help at the farm today, so I'll have someone take you there to monitor you.”, Maddox said.
“I'll love to take her. I'm bored, and I need something interesting.”, Rogan said.
“Alright.”, Maddox consented to it.
Nisha was so happy she was outside again, she loved the feel of the scorching sun. She appreciated it more than anyone, she and Rogan walked down to the farm. Along the way, she saw both children and adults who were doing different things, some children were playing happily, some were reading, it felt like a happy place.
“So, this is what commoners feel like.”, She said to herself.
“How has your stay been, over here?” Rogan asked.
Nisha looked at him, he looked cool and cunning, but also handsome. She was too angry to reply to his senseless question.
“Okay, I guess, that's a rhetorical question. I'm sorry, princess.”, Rogan said.
“Look! Are you here to make fun of me or escort me to the farm?”, Nisha said.
“Well, I'll let that pass. You shouldn't speak to me that way, I could slit your throat.”, Rogan threatened.
“Maddox doesn't want anyone to kill me and if you do, you yourself will join me. I guess this is the farm.”, Nisha said as she went over to help the others.
After a few hours, Nisha was done and was escorted back to the underground cell. Rogan, on the other hand, was amazed at how she confidently spoke. He knew that Maddox would surely not spare anyone who kills her, but didn't know she had so much faith in his personality already. He went over to Maddox' room, and they discussed for a while, and then asked Maddox if he could borrow Nisha, just for a stroll.
“We have to be careful with the way we bring her out. She must not escape. Her father hasn't succumbed to my request.”, Maddox said.
“I understand, and I'll be sure not to let her out of my sight. “, Rogan pleaded.
“Alright then. So, how was the place you traveled to?”, Maddox asked.
“It was fun, obviously. So many things that thrilled me, I missed home, that's why I came.”, Rogan said.
“You just love sightseeing and having new adventures.”, Maddox said.
“Yeah, you already know me this much”, Rogan chuckled.
“Do not worry, the next place you're going to sight see would be the Sunshine Clan's territory. I'll make sure I rip them apart.”, Maddox said with an aura of confidence.
“I can't wait. Can't wait to see them begging at our feet.”, Rogan said.
Later that afternoon, Rogan was already out with Nisha as they strolled in the neighborhood.
“I noticed you liked the neighborhood.”, Rogan said.
“I guess you're observant.”, Nisha said.
“So, you've always wanted to know how commoners live and enjoy their lives, right?”, Rogan guessed.
“Yes. I was most times locked up in the castle, I wanted freedom.”, Nisha said.
“I guess wanting that freedom didn't play out well, though you got what you wanted, but you paid a price for it.”, Rogan said.
“Yes, I guess.”, Nisha said.
“Uhm, what would you like to eat? We have nice things here at Blood Moon”, Rogan said, excitedly.
“Is it okay if I want something?”, Nisha said.
“Of course.”, Rogan urged.
Nisha started pointing out the things she had been craving, and Rogan bought them all for her. Rogan cracked countless jokes which made her laugh her ribs out, she had never laughed this hard before. Rogan also told her of his travels, their customs, and way and funny and bad experiences he had. They both played games and had fun.
“Nisha, do you mind if I test your fighting skills?”, Rogan said.
“Another way of saying you want to kill me, right?”, Nisha said, with a tone of sarcasm.
“Oh no, Nisha, have faith in yourself, at least once.”, Rogan encouraged.
“Alright then. I'll try, take it easy on me.”, Nisha said.
Nisha brought out her claws and charged at him, she missed her target as he was too fast for her. He held her waist and pointed his claws at her tummy.
“Could have easily hurt you, you can do better, Nisha", Rogan encouraged.
Nisha tried again, then she jumped at him and tried to claw at his chest, but he threw her down and held her neck to the floor.
“Snap! Your bones would have been broken.”, Rogan said.
“I avoided trainings because I didn't want war. Now, i should have attended for self-defense. I might have been able to run from Vivian the other day she took me out to collect herbs.”, Nisha said.
“Oh really? You would have attempted to run?”, Rogan exclaimed.
“Yeah, just that, I knew she was stronger than me and the pains Maddox would have inflicted on me would have been more than the whips he gave me.”, Nisha explained.
“Wow, he whipped you?”, Rogan asked, he seemed interested.
“Yes, until I passed out.”, Nisha said.
“Wow… I'm sorry to hear that.”, Rogan said.
“It's alright.”, Nisha said.
They continued to talk until they got back to the house. Maddox and Vivian were in the sitting room, having tea.
"We're going to host a party this night, to celebrate your arrival. Few people are invited as we don't want the crowd this time around.”, Vivian said, excitedly.
“Oh really, you both know what I love. I love you so much, guys.”, Rogan said, smiling.
“You're welcome, Rogan. And as for you, you'll be serving, so go help those in the kitchen prepare for the party tonight.”, Vivian commanded.
Nisha couldn't believe her ears. She? In the kitchen? She was now a slave, and it was as a result of her disobedience, so she had no choice than to bear it all.
It was evening and preparations we're almost ready. Vivian had worn a black tight gown with a slit on the left side. She put on a red lipstick and her hair was packed into a neat bun. She walked slowly to greet the guests that were coming in with joy in their hearts, everywhere seemed so lit and lively, they were so happy they were the lucky ones that were called to celebrate Rogan's arrival. They were all conversing with each other at the large rectangle table, they had been served drinks already.
Maddox came in with Rogan, both of them were looking dashing and killed with their looks, they sat down in their respective seats and were served drinks.
“To Rogan, who came back, to share his brightness with us.”, Vivian raised her drink up as a toast, then everyone clinked their glass cups.
“You look gorgeous tonight, Vivian”, Rogan complimented.
“Thank you, Rogan”, she smiled.
The food was ready and as planned, Nisha started serving them, getting numerous compliments from them. Then she served Rogan too, who smiled at her. When she moved to serve Maddox, the plate slipped out of her hand and the food fell on his shoes. He stood up out of anger and gave her a hard slap that made her fall to the ground, everyone exclaimed and was not surprised at Maddox's behavior. Strangely, Maddox didn't feel right.
Why is my heart pricking me?, He thought.
