Strangely, Selena seemed happy when Cayden came back with two omegas. Anything but this torturous waiting in the room alone with her thoughts of everything that had happened and everything that was yet to happen.
"I've got a gift for you," he said.
The girls kept a present box on the bed that was tastefully wrapped. She didn't move, since she wasn't sure what he wanted her to say or do.
He continued, "You can check them out."
She instantly stood by his side, expecting his next instruction because she wanted him to see how serious she was about her "promise."
"Come unwrap the gift," he commanded.
Unsure of why he would feel the need to purchase her a gift, she moved closer to the bed. She was about to be used as a captured slave. A present didn't at all fit this scenario.
She grabbed hold of the ribbon and untied it with trembling hands. Cayden was following her every move, and she could feel his gaze on her. After removing the ribbon from the box, she removed the top and, puzzledly, peered inside. Though she wasn't precisely sure what she was gazing at, she was very certain that his gift was not something she would choose.
"We need to get ready for a party this evening. Before we dress you, I'm going to let you use the toilet one last time." He stopped and twisted her so she could look into his intensely foreboding eyes.
She did not know. She lacked even the tiniest hint of rebelliousness. Not after spending hours considering every move, she may make just to learn that doing so would cause her to enrage Cayden and get her killed or punished. She wanted to avoid it because she knew that he typically favoured certain types of punishments. Even if her body and her wolf were aching for it.
"Let me help you get dressed." He guided her.
"What happened to my clothes?"
"They won't be necessary."
"So, how do I get dressed?"
He showed the box. "In there, we have everything we'll need."
He pulled out the first item from the box so she could see it without having to open it again.
It was a bikini, a metal-chained, sheer golden bikini. She kept staring at it, but could not understand what he had in mind.
Or perhaps she was lying to herself. Perhaps she didn't want to understand. Or perhaps she did.
"Tonight, we're throwing a special celebration. Many individuals, including your dad, would be there with their pets." Said Cayden.
She opened her mouth and her eyes widened at the word "pets."
"I must put that on?" She showed the pieces of metal and chains he was carrying.
He smiled slyly as he laughed. Little lines encircled his twinkling eyes. His appeal was almost childish.
"You appear astonished." He looked at her face." We need to make sure you're the most spoiled and pampered one there because I'm bringing you along as my pet. My partner needs to be the one with the best decorations at the party because I'm going to humiliate your dad."
She agreed with his justification.
"I expected that, but you don't need to bind me."
"I won't be trying to flee, I swear."
Instead of responding, he grabbed her by the neck and pushed her head close to him while anchoring the collar around her neck. When she swallowed, she could feel her body contacting the icy constraint because it was so tight.
"You'll stay collared until I say otherwise," he said, tugging on the collar to make sure it was latched.
She shouted out, "I don't like it."
He nodded. "I know. I warned you."
He pushed her to look into his eyes by placing both palms on either side of her face.
"I promise you, this collar will be little compared to what happens to pets who disobey, and you don't want to know. Behave. Do you get what I'm saying?"
"I have no reason for defying your orders." She assured him.
Before rising, he leaned in and gave her a gentle forehead kiss. To help her stand up, he reached out his hand.
************
Selena was wearing a gold bra that just barely covered her nipples. It resembled triangle pasties more. Her thong was as basic. The thin tunic-style outfit that had been put on her was her one saving grace. Although it didn't conceal anything, at least it made her feel like she was wearing something.
She had a collar around her neck but was otherwise almost naked. She was being led down the stairs by a leash to a room full of men who were monitoring her every move.
Cayden spoke to the people gathered. "Gentlemen, what happened to your pets?"
One man said, "We've got them all in a room. Before the party starts, some business needs to be discussed, and we felt our pets shouldn't be exposed to it."
After giving the leash to the man standing to his right, Cayden nodded. Never once turning to face Selena, he ordered, "Bring my pet to join the others."
As she was escorted from the room, her stomach gurgled. She pondered how long it would take for her to be violated and put on a show just like an animal.
She must have been moving too slowly by the exhibit, since the man who was now carrying her leash quietly ordered her to speed up. She looked back and saw Cayden sitting down at the table with about ten other men, and there were looks of concern and anger on all of their faces. She padded barefoot behind him and was led to a closed door. The air became tenser as the jaws were clamped and the eyes were dark and tight. Her father hadn't yet been seen by her.
She was pushed inside after the door was opened. I needed a moment to get her eyes used to the dimly lit space. Since she was going to join the other pets, she already knew that there would be other women in the room, but she wasn't ready for what she had witnessed.
Fifteen women were seated on the ground.
Each of them had collars as she did, and some of them were completely naked with far longer chains fastened to their wrist and ankle cuffs. They silently scrutinised Selena with wide, enquiring eyes. The man calmly closed the door and walked out to join the other men after pushing Selena the last bit of the way inside and pressing down on her shoulders until she knelt.
Being on all fours, she wasn't sure what to do. The woman was naked, vulnerable… but they had stoic expressions on their faces, as if they didn't care about the situation they were in.
"Who is your owner?" one woman said with a smile. Her lips were red, her makeup dark, and her hair was up in two ponytails.
"Cayden. " Selena replied.
"Alpha Cayden?" She asked.
Selena nodded.
"What's your name?"
Was she the only captive?
"Selena," she answered as she repositioned herself to sit on her thigh.
"Lucky," said a girl sitting against a wall. She was dressed in a black leather bikini and had a black leather mask covered her face.
"He treats all the slaves well. This is the first time he came with his pet. He even gave you a diamond collar. You must be a prized hostage."
Selena blinked.
"Are all of you hostages?"
The leather-clad one replied. "Aren't we all? We are used to it, but those two are new." She gestured at the girls in chains. They looked around in panic.
"What…. is going to happen in there?" Selena asked as panic rose in her chest.
"Don't worry, it would be just sex. That's what those perverts want, anyway. But if you don't behave, things can be bad. Trust me, it's not fun getting all your holes filled at the same time."
Selena gulped in fear as the door opened. The man had arrived to escort them out.
