Lyukhe's Point Of View
"Mahxim... Please wake up..." Wahrryn said softly, rubbing his cheek against Mahxim's.
"Master... What happened to him? What's in that room?" Maihsson asked, worried.
"Well... it's like an adult playground... but for you guys, it's probably a traumatic place, considering what that facility did to you. That's why I didn't want you guys to go in there... I'm really sorry Jehssope. I should have explained it better..." I groaned.
"Why was your butler like that? He was far too happy to lock us in there..." Jehssope said.
"Well... usually, if I bring someone home with me, they sign a contract of consent. Any rules they agree to on paper, and then break before the allotted time elapsed, is punishable. Though I'm not sure why Kihone acted that way, since I never said you guys signed anything. I don't appreciate him jumping to conclusions without consulting me first. I'll be sure to have a word with him, after Mahxim wakes up." I said.
"What is a contract?" Wahrryn asked.
"I'll show you later. Is that okay? It'll be easier to explain if you saw it first." I replied.
"Okay..." Wahrryn nodded.
Mahxim still wasn't waking up, so I scooped him up in my arms, and released a hefty amount of pheromones. He grimaced and began to twist around uneasily.
Then, his eyes shot open, and he nervously scanned the room.
"Master? What happened?" He asked.
"I'm so sorry Mahxim... please find it in your heart to forgive me. I was an idiot..." I sighed, hugging him tightly.
"Hahaha... I was right, our Master is a Kindhearted Pervert..." He said, taking a deep breath.
'Well, as long as he doesn't hate me... I'll accept his absurd nickname...'
"Are you okay, Mahxim? Do you need anything?" I asked, worried.
"No. I'm fine. Though, I'd like to punch those guys in the nose. They took too much pleasure in tying me up, and touching me. Especially that butler of yours, who ignored all warnings and did as he pleased." He grumbled.
"Touched you how?" I asked sternly.
It was a grave offense for my men to act without my express permission, even more so for them to act under Kihone's authority alone. I had assumed that he had the men help because there was more than 1 Omega, but now it seemed extremely suspicious.
"They were acting like they were the Masters. Touching my chest, saying creepy things. And grinning the whole time. Even though we said that you wouldn't approve of their behavior, he laughed and told them to continue anyway..." Mahxim said with a shudder.
"Is that right? Well, I will have a word with him. Before I go, you should know that Wahrryn had a nightmare, and he wanted to see you. That's why we came looking for you." I said, climbing out of bed.
Wahrryn crawled over to Mahxim, and laid in his lap. I was feeling a bit volatile, considering that I had promised to protect their smiles, and inadvertently put them in harms way. I was feeling so foolish, but I would rectify my wrongs, immediately.
"You boys sit tight, I'll be right back. I've got some business to take care of. Don't leave this room okay? You boys just watch some TV or get some more rest... Please?" I asked.
They nodded obediently, and got comfortable in bed. Even though we had just woken up a little more than an hour ago, they all looked tired beyond reason. I nodded and left my room, locking the door behind me.
I headed to my study, nodded to the two men standing guard, and flung open the door. I couldn't shake the feeling that Kihone had had hidden and ulterior motives when he acted alone today.
"Sion! Enter!" I yelled.
He opened the door immediately and stepped inside.
"Yes, boss?" He asked, hesitantly.
"Summon Kihone, and the 5 men who assisted him today here, immediately." I commanded.
"Understood, boss."
*VZZZ... VZZZ... VZZZ...*
Suddenly, my phone began to vibrate. I dug it out of my pocket to check the screen. My eyes widened when I saw the message.
I couldn't believe what I was reading, and even more what it said. Tristan really planned to give us a month's supply of inhibitors. It was unbelievable. I knew the cost would be a King's ransom otherwise, so I was incredibly grateful.
I quickly sent him my reply, with my address and the number of Omegas. His reply came instantly.
I smiled to myself, after reading his reply. It was entirely possible that he hadn't actually wanted to send the inhibitors, but whatever the reason, I was still grateful for the gift.
'I'll have to find a way to thank Tristan later...'
As I put my phone away, there came a soft knock on my door.
"Enter." I replied, after taking a deep breath.
In walked Sion, Kihone, and five burly men. I had been in such a confused rage earlier, that I hadn't taken in their faces. Looking at them now, I had remembered seeing them in a potential line up of new recruits, but not actually hiring them yet, due to the Summons from Zachariah.
"Sion, you may step out. I'll call you if I need you." I said.
"Yes, sir." He replied, before leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.
"Kihone. I'll hear your excuses now." I said, sternly.
"I apologize Young Master, but I was only following the normal protocol. I did not think that they were special to you." He said, bowing low.
"Did they seem like Omegas that I had picked up at a bar or off the streets, to you?" I asked, feeling my anger rising.
This whole situation was rubbing me the wrong way. And I couldn't think rationally anymore.
"Sir. If I may ask... where did they come from? Demhongade?" He asked, thoughtfully.
The fact that he didn't seem the least bit remorseful, was aggravating as hell.
"Does that matter? They will be staying here for as long as they choose. Whether that be a week, a month, or forever. It's entirely their call." I replied angrily.
"But why, Sir?"
"That's none of your business. You do as I say, and move as I wish. What part of that are you having trouble understanding? You have served me for over 10 years, yet this is the first time in memory that you have acted against me."
"Young Master, I just don't want them to take advantage of your kind nature and hospitality..." He replied.
"It seems you have been acting without my permission for a while now... Pray tell, who gave the okay to hire these men in my absence?"
Kihone didn't answer, instead, he looked up at me in scared realization.
"Because of your actions you have traumatized those boys, who were mentally still trying to recover from their previous abuse. That is an unforgivable offense, considering that it will be nearly impossible for them to trust any of you now. Kihone, you will tender your resignation immediately. And as for you five." I said, standing up from my desk.
"While I do apologize that you were basically caught in the middle of Kihone's treachery, you will be fired all the same. It is unacceptable to have men who lust after what does not belong to them. You're fired. Sion, Zennon!"
"Yes, Sir?" They replied in unison.
"Have these men escorted off the property, immediately." I announced.
"Sir! Please reconsider!" Kihone cried.
"I will not. Do not show yourselves in front of me again, or else I will end your lives." I said, heading for the door.
"This is bullshit! 12 years of service, was valued as worthless, in the face of mere whores!?" Kihone yelled, angrily.
I stopped in my tracks, and closed the door silently. Then, I turned around abruptly and balled my right hand into a tight fist.
"Kihone, I'm willing to look past the fact that you were preparing those boys for your own sick amusement, and that you brought in the newbies because they wouldn't protest anything that you said. But if you ever disrespect those boys to my face again, I will end your life!" I yelled, before letting my fists fly.
No one was spared in my assault. They each had it coming one way or another. No one dared to stop me, and no one protested my decisions anymore.
Finally satisfied, I stopped and walked back towards the door.
"Sion. Drag this rabble to the curb. Find me new potential butlers as well."
"As you wish." He said, beginning to drag the men out by their legs.
I left the room feeling lighter than before.
'That was cathartic...'
