Chapter 424 – 424: Oddly Familiar
As she watched, William stopped in the middle of the pool, letting the women go to him with an encouraging wave. The servants rushed towards him excitedly, each one of them caressing and rubbing their bodies against the aroused alpha excitedly. The man closed his eyes, his hands straying from one woman to the other.
Luna looked away, concentrating on the layout of the pool rather than the muscular man inside it. Strangely, nine different wooden poles were jutting out of the floor, surrounding the water body in a patterned array. She could see heavy chains attached to the poles and narrow channels connecting all nine of them to make a star.
Her brows furrowed as she traced the end of each channel to the edge of the pool. The poles were empty. But that didn't remain so for long. As she watched, a half-naked Kirk appeared from a partially hidden door located right beside the pool. Exactly nine people followed behind him, their eyes looking empty, as if they were in a daze.
She could clearly make it out that six of them were human, while three of them- two men and a woman were fae. To her utter disbelief, the people took their individual places before the poles, binding themselves to the chains that were attached to it mindlessly.
Kirk then went around each one of them, pulling the chains to see if they were tight enough. Satisfied at the results, he turned towards his alpha with raised brows.
"Shall I begin?" He asked, unsheathing a dagger from its scabbard that hung from his waist.
William smiled, nodding in approval without opening his eyes.
'What do you think, master?' The Tohar Sehlah asked, pushing into the front of her mind in an urgent tone.
"It looks like ancient blood magic. The carvings look oddly familiar. But I don't sense any witches." She paused, looking around the place suspiciously.
It was odd how the wolves who burned at the touch of magic were somehow performing a dark spell on their own, without any incantations, and what looked like very strange rituals. She leaned away from the door, turning to the nine-pointed gems inlaid onto its surface. That was when it occurred to her. Luna's eyes widened at the realization.
"Don't tell me that they-"
"Aaaaaaaaaargh!" A high-pitched scream pierced the air as Kirk plunged the dagger into the mermaid's chest, making a deep gash running till her naval.
The others' screams followed as the man quickly did the same with the rest of them. Finishing his job, Kirk watched the blood slide down their naked bodies, flowing into the channels right beneath the poles and into the pool. Raw hunger flashed in his eyes as he clenched his fists to resist his desire.
The alpha chuckled, opening his eyes to see his subordinate in agony.
"You may indulge, Kirk," William said, waving his hand at the man dismissively. "You don't have to wait on me anymore."
Kirk bowed in submission before turning around and disappearing into the frenzied crowd, becoming one with their madness. William turned to the woman closest to him, dragging a claw along her exposed collarbone. He leaned close to her ears and whispered something.
The woman sighed in disappointment, but nodded in submission. As she stepped away from the alpha, the other servants giggled, vying for his attention with their wandering mouths. William leaned against the marbled corner of the pool, tilting his head back in pleasure as the women continued to fondle him.
The goddess put a hand to her chest, her hand clutching the coarse material of her dress anxiously as she felt a sense of deja vu enveloping her. And just as she anticipated, the servant that the alpha had sent out the pool returned with a beaming Vera. With only a short silk cloth covering her private parts, the girl stepped into the pool, lead by the alpha's underling.
Luna frowned, her stomach churning in disgust as she watched the attention of some of the male wolves suddenly shifted towards the alpha's sister who was now buck naked in the bloody water. She had seen the very formation once before when she had accidentally stumbled into the Demon prince's lair.
It had perplexed her to an extent that she had to go on a meditation retreat afterward. Compared to that, what was happening before her looked to be on a smaller scale. The diversity of the pool's blood source was quite less here, and so was the intensity of dark magic. At least she didn't have to watch demons squirm against each other, she thought to herself.
William smirked, waving at a few men in approval. "You're here, sister." He said, watching the girl settle comfortably against the muscled men surrounding her.
Vera moaned, her fangs protruding as one of the men lowered his mouth onto her exposed breasts.
"Yesss," she said, her voice thick with desire as she turned to her brother. "Why don't we begin?"
The Alpha chuckled, shaking his head at his sister. The woman returned the smile, raising her palm to her mouth. The brother-sister duo sunk their teeth into their palms, tearing through their flesh and dropping their bloodied hands into the pool in unison.
In the blink of an eye, the water turned black as their blood mixed with the bloody water in the pool. Vera gasped in pleasure as a man dipped his head inside the water, making her arch her neck to the back as a response. The other two men who were beside her took hold of the opportunity, sinking their fangs into her pleasure points.
Luna stepped back from the door, unable to stomach any more of it. But as she did, she stepped onto a dry twig, breaking the stick in two. She cursed under her breath, looking towards the podium in haste. A pair of clear brown eyes locked onto her gaze, the corners of the alpha's lips turning up in an amused smile.
