Myla yawned as she woke up the next morning with a stretch. She rolled to the other side of the bed and immediately froze when her hand landed on someone's face. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Ares' annoyed face staring down at her.
Myla screamed then jumped out of the bed. She glanced down at herself and heaved a sigh of relief before turning to Ares with a glare.
“What are you doing in my room?" Ares scoffed.
“Your room?" Myla frowned then her eyes widened when it finally dawned on her. She had thought everything that had happened this far had been a nightmare but it was all real! She was a slave now to this demon boy in front of her and she slept on his bed!
“Oh..... I'm sorry, I forgot" He stared at her for a while then stood up from the bed.
“Cornelius" Myla raised an eyebrow at Cornelius as he quickly walked into the room. Has he been there all night?
“Get Myla ready for the day and....." Ares immediately halted his words when Cornelius suddenly gasped.
“Is there a problem?" Cornelius pointed at his face.
“There's a huge red mark on your face." Myla turned to Ares' face and gasped. She must have bruised his face when her hand mistakenly landed on his face.
Ares touched his face gently then turned to Myla with a tilt of his head. Cornelius followed his eyesight then glared at Myla.
“Was she the one that did that to you?" Before Ares could speak, he ran up to Myla, grabbed her neck and pinned her to the wall.
“Let.... Let go of me" Myla choked out as she tried to pry Cornelius' hand off her neck.
“How dare you hurt the Alpha king? You deserve to die right here" Myla's eyes widened as Cornelius' eyes suddenly turned yellow.
“That's enough, Cornelius," Ares said before Cornelius could claw at her face.
“But Ares...."
“Do not question me, let her go" Cornelius immediately dropped Myla to the ground then turned to Ares with a bow.
“I'm sorry, I overstepped" Ares ignored him then turned to Myla who was still struggling to breath on the ground.
“I haven't enjoyed my little slave yet so she can't die now. Get her ready then come with her to the dining room"
“Wait, aren't you going to have your bath first?" Cornelius glanced down at Ares' outfit and saw that he was already dressed up.
“I understand," Cornelius added with a bow. Ares glanced at Myla for the last time before walking out of the room leaving Cornelius alone with Myla.
She clenched her fist as she stood up from the ground.
Cornelius narrowed his eyes at her then sighed before handing her some clothes.
“Here, have your bath and change into this. Be done in fifteen minutes"
“Wait, where will I...." Bang! Cornelius walked out of the room and slammed the door in her face before she could complete her sentence.
She rolled her eyes then sighed before glancing around the room. Now that there was light in the room, she was able to see that the room was bigger than even her parents' bedroom.
Since Cornelius didn't want to help her find the bathroom, she had to do that herself and the room had a lot of doors. She sluggishly dragged her leg to a door and luckily enough, it was the bathroom.
She quickly had her bath then gasped when she saw the dress she was given to wear. She thought it was going to be a very horrible maid's gown but it was far from that. It was the most beautiful gown she had ever laid her eyes on. It didn't have a corset like the one her mother wore, it was a flowery gown that flowed up to her knee.
For the first time in her life, she was very eager for others to see her in such a beautiful gown. After putting on the gown which was very easy to slip on, she smiled at herself in the mirror before walking out of the room.
“Took you long enough" Cornelius muttered then glanced down at her outfit with a scowl. What was Ares up to?
“Come with me" He added before walking away. Myla rolled her eyes but did as was told.

Ares walked towards the chair placed at the head of the table and sat down.
“It's good to see you accepted my invitation to eat with us, Ares," Ares turned to his brother, Eric.
“Hm" Was all he said before turning away from him. The dining table was so awkward and quiet even though there were many at the table. It was practically his whole family with a few missing.
He knew it was because of him they weren't talking but he could care less. They were the ones who wanted him here so they had to deal with it. Besides,he enjoyed the quietness.
“I hope you don't mind, Ares but I invited Isabel for breakfast. She won't leave me alone and I thought since she was going to be your wife, it shouldn't matter" Ares paused then turned to him.
“You have already invited them so what is the use if I say no now?" Before Eric could reply, Cornelius walked in with Myla and led her straight to Ares without turning or Bowing to anyone.
“I brought her as ordered" Cornelius muttered as soon as he stood in front of Ares then walked out of the way and moved Myla closer to Ares.
Ares stared at his little maid in front of him with a smirk before glancing down at her clothes.
“I see you clean up very well, little slave" He murmured as he slowly met her eyes.
Myla pursed her lips as she stared back at him. She didn't like the way he was staring at her, it sent chills down her spine. His eye held no motive or revealed whatever he was thinking but for some reason, she felt intimidated by his stare.
She was about to thank him for the dress when a lady called out his name.
“Ares!" They all turned to the voice and Myla couldn't help but fawn over the lady's beauty. She looked like a goddess with her long Brown locks and silky skin.
As she ran up to Ares, she bumped into Myla which resulted in Myla falling to the ground with a thud. She groaned as she rubbed her butt then raised her head to glare at the woman in front of her with anger.....
