Chapter Six
Maya’s POV
I watched in awe as the people deliberated on how they would be assisting me in overcoming the hell’s pit. That was probably the first time in my life someone rooted for me and wanted my freedom. The discussion was so nice to hear and I almost broke a tear.
“Is everyone going well with you?” I heard Venom whisper in my ears.
“Hmm hmm,” I hummed in response.
Venom’s dad and brothers were having a back and forth on how they would train me. They took me as a daughter and sister.
“What still amazes me is the fact that people would really relegate a race of werewolves to that kind of lifestyle. It’s totally disheartening.” Caleb interjected.
“I understand you, brother. Traditions are just extremely different in different locations. It’s disappointing.” Venom empathised.
” So, my dear, will you be appearing later so you can train with the boys? I’m very sure everyone would love bonding with you.” My master’s mom suggested it to me.
I blushed and looked at Venom for a reply, but the large smile on his face showed that he was definitely on board.
” Yes, ma. If my master will accept it, I’ll do it.” I told her.
There was a sudden change of expression which I feared was displeasure from her. “Have you been making her call you master, Venom?” The woman spoke to her son sternly.
“No, mom. I haven’t, she just hasn’t adjusted completely yet.” He protested.
I felt awkward causing drama between them. “I’m sorry, ma. I’ll change my habits from now on.” I apologised to her with a sorry look.
“It’s fine my dear, we all love and accept you here and you’ll definitely be successful at the hell’s pit you wanna go through.” She stretched her hand to touch mine as she assured me.
I smiled in response.
The meal concluded and Venom took me back to his own place. The car ride was silent and I wanted him to talk, I didn’t know how I would start the conversation.
He would drift his eyes from the road to me once in a while and smile. It was the least comforting and made me blush while I felt tingles in my belly.
If that was how other master and slave relationships existed, it was the most exciting thing ever.
“So, how did you take to my people?” He asked me.
“I liked them. They were lovely and I can’t wait to train with your brothers too. They offered and it was so nice.” I told him, I was most enthusiastic about the training. Earning my escape out of the hell’s pit would be a dream come through.
“I’m glad you loved them. For a moment there, I wasn’t sure how things would turn out between you and them, but that was wonderful.” He complimented me.
“Thank you very much.” I told him.
“And one more thing.” He mentioned.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“What’s that?” I smiled at him, mildly confused.
“Please, don’t address me as your master again. Remember, Venom or Venn.” If he didn’t keep the cute expression he always had on while he talked, I would have assumed I had finally made my first offence to my master.
“Yes, I’ll definitely change. I’m sorry.”
“If only you didn’t have to train so much, I’d love to show you different places and things. ” He said in a sympathetic manner.
“If I train well enough, I think we can do all of that without any hindrances once I win.” I reminded him, I didn’t want to compromise with the training, but it sounded appealing at the same time.
“Yes, yes!” He exclaimed. “We’ll be starting training with the boys tomorrow. Since they’re royalty and they got some of the best training out there, I doubt there’s anything you won’t know.” He said to me,
I felt relaxed and was grateful for the fact that the gods had sent him to me.
He swerved the car into his compound and we got out. I stretched my body, I heard the sound of bubbles popping in my muscles, the usual breaking sound you would hear whenever you stretched yourself out.
I tried a few positions to get myself stretched out, but the dress felt uncomfortable for that kind of exercise. Just then, I remembered that I didn’t have any clothes that I could use to train.
He was standing by the car and had been smiling while he watched me. I could barely maintain eye contact.
“I don’t think I have any clothes to train, we didn’t get one when we went shopping.” I told him.
He looked taken aback for some time, before he replied. “There’s no problem, I don’t think that’s a problem. We can just go shopping.” He replied to me.
Another shopping? He would have me wear weird things again. Maybe it would be different this time around since we would be going for things to train in.
He led me inside where he had people who had prepared our meal. I smiled marvellously at the amount of power he had and how he had things in place for us.
“Are you hungry?” He asked me to stare into my eyes. They were gorgeous, I almost burst into smiles.
It took more than mind fortitude to keep myself together around him.
“We just ate at your parent’s, but I wouldn’t mind again. I think I need to gather as much as I can so I can be very fit for the fight.” I explained to him.
We both went to the table and we grabbed a little to eat. He seemed to have been watching me the whole time while I ate.
It felt uncomfortable to continue with my normal habits and I was constantly glancing at him, but he would only smile at me which was comforting and a bit unusual.
Thinking about the hell’s pit, he was the one I wanted the most after it. After we had both grown with each other and spent a few days together, it would sound weird that I wanted to be with him, but it was true.
I liked him and I was getting endeared towards his personality. He was the only one I desired.
