Chapter Eight
Maya’s POV
I woke the next morning and began my training as early as I could. My body had not accustomed to the luxury lifestyle I met at my master’s house which I feared would be affect my routine.
The gardener was the best place to go to and I began with a few stretch exercises and other preliminary before getting on track to run.
I was just on my second rep when Venom appeared.
“Good morning,” I greeted him, I was able to see him approaching this time around unlike the night before when he had snuck up on me.
“Good morning, I wasn’t expecting you to be awake so early.” He said. ” You know you’re still going to train with my brothers later, right? ”
I looked at him without being able to correctly express myself. Training and fighting was my daily routine and it was literally everything I did everyday back in hell’s pit.
” I’m just used to it,” I muttered.
” Alright, just do a little and get dressed. We’ll be going to shop then to go join my brothers so they can train you. I’ll be off too.” He instructed me.
” Yes, sir.” I responded.
He gave me a look and then I remembered the relationship between us. ” Yes.” I corrected myself, he smiled and left.
I continued for a bit and when I was sure that I had done enough, I went inside to get dressed and take a bath so I wouldn’t be late. He never really stated a time when we would be leaving too, I was in a panicky state whenever i did something.
I roomeome of the clothes he had handed to me the day we went shopping for normal wares and threw it on, tied my hair in a ponytail and I was ready to go.
Venom was still not around and I thought about looking for him, that was when I realized I had not even seen most of the places in the house. It was big, but to a moderation.
I went around and admired the paintings on the wall. It had different artworks of werewolves. Most of the paintings were battles and it was reminiscent of the lifestyle I lived in hell’s pit.
He finally arrived while I stood transfixed admiring a sculpture I had seen.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Hey there.” He came towards me, patting my back.
I smiled at him.
“You like one of these?” He gestured at the sculpture I was staring at which was one out of three.
“I never really realized the beauty of your house. It is quite beautiful, I must say.” Many things had caught my fancy and I thought about the chances of finally getting the chance to live there and experience more of the beautiful environment.
“Thank you and soon, they’ll be for both of us and you can add whatever you’d like to it too.” He told me. “Now, I think it’s time to go.”
We went to the car and he drove out of the compound. The first place we went to looked like a shop for weapons. It was different from the one we went to when we wanted to get the other clothes.
It was comforting, I wanted to be sure that he was taking everything seriously he wasn’t undermining the competition that would be holding.
He left me to look around while he spoke to the attendant.
I wasn’t so sure I wanted to be left alone, but I moved a few meters away from him and tried to see if anything caught my fancy.
The armor there and the weapons were more refined and way different from what we would use back when we were in hell’s pit. Usually, we would have to refine things and sharpen them to suit whatever we wanted to suit our taste.
“Maya, please, come over.” I heard Venom call out.
I hurried back to where he stood and he led me into a different section of the store which had attires and armory I could wear on. They were even more sophisticated than I imagined they would be.
“Wow,” I exclaimed as I went in.
“You can pick whatever you want and let me know afterwards, I’ll let you choose.”
I stared at him and smiled, there was something that felt different the way he did things. It was like he romanticized evey word and gesture. I felt free and I wanted to be owned again, but owned and treated like Venom would.
I walked around and I couldn’t even make a decision. Everything seemed appealing and like a little child, I liked them all.
I picked three set of flexible clothing that were more of make enhanced and I picked some armors that were beautifully designed. I knew they would eventually get thrashed when I go to battle, but the beauty in it was owning it and I liked that.
“Can I try them on?” I went to where Venom was seated.
“Yes, you can. Let me take you there. ” He stretched out my hand and led the way for the both of us. I happily took it and walked alongside him.
I got to a room and he told me he would be staying outside and I could come show him whatever I had donned on when I was through.
Getting everything on was a bit of an hassle but I was finally successful with one and I went outside to show myself to him. He gave an approving smile and nod which made me feel satisfied, but there was two more to go out of what I had selected.
Everytime I went to him to show myself, he has the same reaction and I wanted to keep them all. As if he had been reading my mind, while I was on my back in to go change the clothing, he made a statement.
“It’s alright if you want to keep them all, we could buy the whole store if you wanted too.” He offered.
I wasn’t sure if he was serious about the store thing, but I went in for a hug and thanked him happily.
