The concubine assistant

" If I'm an animal, I'd rather be reincarnated into a werewolf. "

The year 1995

"Wake up Ariana, time to pack your things! The King's Butler is here to take you!" A roaring sound like thunder hit Ariana's ears. She groaned in her sleep. She's still not in the mood to open her eyes but when she felt a rough hand-shaken off her shoulders, she has no choice but to get up.

" Is this my birthday gift mom? To be sent in the palace?" She asked her mother Mira while her eyes weren't opening yet.

" Yes! It's the only way to pay off our debts. You're now eighteen and I told the King to select you as his concubine assistant!" She said she doesn't care about her feelings.

Ariana frowned and set a moody face to her mother.

Today is her birthday and some parents throw a big party for their daughter but she's not one of them. Her family was very poor and his father was a shoemaker only. Sometimes, she's dreaming to be like the King, he's the ruler of his own Kingdom and the law.

" Okay, just give me five minutes to prepare my things mom" she mumbled and drag her feet to the bathroom. Her mom left her and entertained the butler who was patiently waiting for her.

Ariana Ferrer bid goodbyes to her parents and she was sent alone to the palace with the company of the King's Butler Charlie.

She wanted to weep after leaving her town but this was her destiny and she has no power to decide for herself because her family would suffer the consequences.

At last, they came to the Arcadia Kingdom where royal families lived there. Her eyes were fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of her. The place is cool and spacious.

The whole place was also covered with many guards at the entrance like war soldiers in their outfits. They looked like a gladiator.

" Come, follow me!" Charlie called out my attention while we are entering the King's room.

I'm a little nervous because this is my first time to work and to meet the King. I heard rumors that he's still hot even he's older.

"My Lord, I have the girl and she will be serving Concubine Amaya!" He told him with a bow as a sign of respect.

King Markus set his eyes on her with full of earnestly. He scanned every part of the young lad in front of him. He raised his eyebrows once and he blinks twice as a sign of acceptance.

" What's your name, young lady?" He asked her with a soft tone in his voice. The Alpha King played well to the newcomer in the palace. Ariana was not aware that she lured herself inside the family of werewolves.

Ariana gulped her saliva due to exhaustion and at the same time, she felt some butterflies rumbling inside her stomach. It's an indication that she's nervous.

She clears her throat and finds a way to let out a few words about herself.

" Ahm, I'm Ariana Ferrer, came from the town of Salem and I'm eighteen years of age and..." The King interrupted her.

" That's enough for me. Charlie, bring her to Amaya's room and let them talk" he ordered his butler to introduce Ariana to his concubine. She has her rooms, all of the King's concubines have their room. Since his Luna died, he wasn't satisfied with any woman he slept with so he decided to gather all the beautiful girls in the palace and made them his concubine. Every night he could visit or sleep with anyone he wanted but Amaya is one of his favorite.

She's the youngest one and the most vicious girl among them but the King doesn't mind it because she always made her job well especially during the love make the part. She helps him to be reborn again and fulfilled his fantasies about young girls like her.

" Yes, my Lord, at your command," Charlie said and brought Ariana to her new owner.

But little did she know, before she left the King's sight, his eyes looked still to her beautiful body. The King had no idea that Romano Ferrer's daughter is a beauty and a true goddess.

I'm not excited about my new job. Besides I'm not loving the idea to be the concubine assistant. I didn't waste my time going to school just to be her maid. If it's not for the family's debt, maybe I'd rather run away and hide from them forever.

I love my parents but I felt like they had no guilt feelings towards me. They only lived for themselves and my heart feels torn into pieces.

We're now entering the room.

" You can go inside. I'm now leaving." He told me and I just nodded. Now I'm alone, just by myself inside this woman's room.

" Come in!" I heard her arrogant voice. She seemed not good for everyone. She looked spoiled.

I came in and when she comes out from her bed covered with a lace cloth around it, she was very young, I think she was the same age. I'm surprised to find a concubine so young and beautiful.

I waited for her to ask me anything. She just sat in her golden chair and comb her long and shiny hair.

She stared at me from head to toe. I'm not surprised about that because the King also did that to me when I met him and introduced myself.

" Hmmm, your not that bad to be my assistant. Anyway I'm Amaya and you are.." she paused.

I quickly answered back. " Ariana, I'm Ariana Perrier, my lady," I said.

She nods her head. She's not even smiling at me. I'm afraid on my first day since I don't have any experience in this line of work.

" Okay, Ariana, whatever your name is, just call me Amaya, and tonight the King will hold a big party for the victory from the Invaders so you have to help me okay?" She said and I quickly nodded at her.

My room was just beside her room so it's easy for her to call me anytime she needed me.

I skip dinner tonight because I'm not very hungry yet. Today is my birthday but I'm not celebrating it, instead, I'm working here all alone by myself.

I put my things down beside my bed. I lie my back on its soft mattress and I feel comfortable about it.  I want to sleep early so that my body and mind would be well prepared for tomorrow's big event.

---------

" Run!" A loud voice called Ariana's attention from afar. She looked around but there's no one to be seen until a white wolf came in front of her, standing with his visible canines.

Ariana was tongue-tied and her legs seem like paralyze. There's a wolf in front of her and she didn't know what to do.

She just closes her eyes when the white wolf moved his legs to prepare for a quick launch but she's wrong. It's not attacking her. He licked her legs and did puppy eyes on her.

--------------

Amaya heard a soft whimper from the other room. She quickly got up from her bed to follow the sound of that noise. There are more rooms in the concubine area until she found out that the sounds came from her assistant room Ariana.

She decided to knock but the sound gets louder until she tried to open it and it's no lock. When she finally pushed the door open, she saw Ariana, raising her hands like she's in a fight.

She stops screaming when Amaya shook her shoulders. " Wake up! Wake up!" She said and Ariana woke up from her nightmare. Amaya feels relieved to see that she was already awake and safe.

" Hey, what's wrong with you?" Amaya asked me when she woke me up.

I'm still half asleep while she's talking to me. " What?" I said. I don't know what happened. I just woke up and saw her in front of me. She frowned and stood up.

" You're talking in your sleep you know. Hurry! Quick! Today is the grand day so you have to hurry and prepare my things and dress for the party tonight" she said and left me alone in my room.

I took a deep breath. Today is my second day in the palace and I felt like this is my last day. I want to go back home with my parents because I miss them already but I think they're not happy to see me.

I got up and quickly took a shower when Amaya called me. " Ariana, I'm going to take a bath now! Hurry!"

" Coming!" I said. I hurriedly put on my maid dress and walked inside her room. While I'm on my way, I saw some concubines in the hallway on their own without an assistant. I thought to myself, Amaya was very lucky to be the apple of the eye of the king.

Amaya set an enraged gaze to me when I set off my foot in her quarter.

" You're very lazy! Quick, bath me!" Her fierce voice echoed inside my ears. I just followed her instructions to me and said nothing.

I bathe her, dressed her, and help her to do her make up. This life of mine sucks if I'll stay to be the concubines assistant like this.

I'm started to feel jealous of Amaya but maybe I'm destined to be her maid forever.

" Ouch, my hair!" She scolded me when I pulled the strands of her hair so hard.

I'm too busy with the little dreamland that I forgot, I'm combing Amaya's long and shiny hair.

" I'm sorry!" I said but deep within me, I want her to die. She's very arrogant and self-centered. She's not even the real wife but she's acting like one. Besides, they're many of them so she's not the only one who could make the King happy.

I just keep going on grooming her hair and after that she checks it and she was amazed at my work. " I like it. I thought you're useless but you have talent in some ways." She praised me and I fakenly set a broad smile on my lips.

She said to leave her for now and I'll come back if the King called her presence. I simply nod my face and went back to my quarter but I stumbled on the floor when someone bumped at me. When I looked up, it's King Markus and our eyes met. I saw the lust in his eyes like he was taking off my dress through his glare.

I'm about to get up on my own but he holds my arms and pulled me up. Unfortunately,  we lost our balance and we fall again and I found myself on top of him.

" I'm so sorry, my Lord!" I said and I couldn't even take a look at him.

I felt his hands on my behind so I quickly took off my body above him. Charlie saw him so he ran towards him to help.

"Excuse me!" I hastily walked ahead of them to avoid the King.

Charlie scratches his head to think what's going on between us.

---------------

" Take that girl in my room later" he ordered his butler without Ariana's presence.

" But why my Lord?" Charlie asked King Markus with confusion.

He glared a warning look at him. " Just do it okay!" He scowled at him with his deep voice. His butler tried to stop the King's request but it's not him to decide. He just inhaled deeply and walked with the King.

The party was about to start. Every werewolf from the lowest to highest rank was there.

The King's concubines were all present but of course, Amaya was the closest to his throne. Amaya came from the north in the town of Riverdale with her parents served as the warriors of the Arcadia Kingdom that's why she's one of the favorite mistresses of King Markus.

Ariana was there too but she was there surrounded by the crowd. Her beauty was priceless when you put her between those royal ladies. Unfortunately, she was born below par.

She was wearing a simple off white gown she found in her luggage. It was her mother's dress which she gave to her before her eighteenth birthday came. Now that she knows, it's not a coincidence that she let her took it because she would use the dress for her forced new job.

While all the packs are dancing and drinking on their table, Ariana stayed at the corner of the hall with nobody beside her.

A strange guy, not looked like royalty walked closer towards her. He was wearing a knight suit with a sword on his waist.

" Hi, I'm Dilan from the South, Amaya's cousin !" He politely offered his hand to her for a handshake. She smiled and accepted it. " Hello, I'm Ariana, nice to meet you," she said.

Dilan escorted Ariana the whole night but she didn't know that the prying eyes of King Markus glued directly on them.

" Shall we dance?" He asked her. " I'm okay, I don't usually fond of dancing" she replied with shyness on her face.

But Dilan was very stubborn. He grabbed her arms and took her to the center of the hall. He put his hands on her hips and Ariana put her arms above his shoulders.

They dance to the beat of slow jazz music as nobody saw them. Everyone turned around and became their audience until a partner from the King's guest stood up from their table and dance with them too until everyone filled the center of the hall. Amaya looked annoyed to see her cousin Dilan with her assistant Ariana. " That girl is something" she mumbled and King Markus heard it.

He smirked. " Yes, she's something," he said and Amaya frowned and set an angry look at Ariana.

It's not an ordinary ball she attended. She felt she's out of her comfort zone when the party ends. Everyone was all drunk and free to everything they want. King Markus left the party with Amaya in his arms.

---------

" Hmmm" Amaya moaned when the Alpha of the Arcadian packs harshly smashed his lips to her soft and pinkish lips.

He pushed her on his bed and roughly rip off her clothes and a wonderful image appeared in front of him. Markus's desire heats up to be intense. He couldn't take it anymore. While looking into Amaya's face, he saw an image of a mysterious girl looking at him, the face of his concubine assistant, Ariana.

" Hmmm, Ariana you're so beautiful" he groaned while thrusting his hardness to Amaya's opening. She heard it and she pushed him by surprise.

" What? Ariana?" She shouted at him.

King Markus cupped and pressed her face forcibly. " Yes, and you have no right to lecture me. Now kneeled behind me and I'll give you your punishment of cutting my orgasms!" He growled at her. Amaya's eyes widened to see the red eyes of his master.

She has no reasons to complain besides she's only his slave and a sex partner. His heart will never be her forever.

She obeyed her master and let him pound her the whole night as her punishment for disobeying him.

Ariana POV

I heard a sudden whimper just beside my room. The party was over and I knew what comes next even I'm new to this place. King Markus was inside Amaya's room and they're making the night more sizzling and sleazy.

I just closed my eyes and covered my ears to get a goodnight's sleep but I was startled in my sleep when I heard a loud knock outside my room. I quickly got off from my bed and hurriedly walked to check the visitor in the middle of the night. I'm so sleepy that I'm not in the mood to entertained someone. After opening it, I'm surprised to see the King's armies in front of me. " What are you doing here?" I asked them but they quickly pulled me out from my room and accused me of something I didn't know. " You're under arrest. The king's mistress was dead and someone saw you entered her room. I froze and I didn't know what they're talking about. " What? Wait! Let me explain! I'm not a murderer! " I protested while dragging me on the hallway of the palace. They brought me to the King. One of his guards pushed me harder and my body stumbled on the floor.

I saw King Markus and he looked sad to know that his favorite concubine just died.

I  crawled towards him and I kneeled to beg for his mercy.

" My lord, please spare my life. I'm innocent. After the party, I just fall asleep and nothing more, please, I beg you!" I told him while my tears slowly covered my face.

I heard them shouting and cursing my name. " Kill her! Kill her! Bitch! Bitch!" The townspeople believed that I'm a murderer.

I looked around me and they all throwing rocks in my head. What if my parents knew about this? What if they took them and killed them? What have I done? I'm talking to myself.

The Alpha King stood up from his throne and walked closer towards me. He told them to keep quiet. I have a little hope in him. I hope he would listen to me. " How dare you kill my lady!" A roaring deep voice echoed in the palace with a strong slap in my face. I felt a sour flavor beside my lips. It's blood flowing from my mouth. I hold my face and I winced in pain. They all laughed at me. I'm alone and helpless. I need someone to help me but no one came. Amaya's cousin Dilan of the South Packs didn't come because of fear that he might be a partner in her crime.

" Take her to the hall!" The king ordered this man but Ariana ran and wrapped her hands in the king's arms. " Please don't kill me. I'll do anything you want! Please" she's nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, she's a castaway and her hope was the King's forgiveness though she's not the real culprit of the said crime.

His gaze on her looked so cold and vulgar. I saw it in his eyes, the eye of a murderer. I'm not convinced yet but he was the only person who entered Amaya's room. That whimper sounds I heard last night, maybe was the time he killed her and all the fault and accusations were put on me because I'm new to the palace, a stranger and her assistant. I must find out who murdered her but I must get the King's sides.

" Charlie, take her to my room!" The king ordered his butler and he quickly took Ariana out and sent her to the King's room.

" Good luck!" Charlie told me and pushed me inside the King's room. I curled myself into a ball and wrapped my arms around my knees. I'm now this trapped by someone's fault and I had no one to called for help.

I'm here in this world full of harsh and cruel people. I'm just an ordinary girl who just made a debut and was thrown in the castle-like I'm just a piece of garbage. They disposed of me like I'm not their blood. I hated them for giving birth to me and lead me to my miserable life today. Now, I'm Amaya's murderer without concrete evidence and was locked inside the king's room. I wonder what job I must oblige to do as a payment for my sin.

I heard the sudden opening of the door and King Markus appeared. My heart stops beating as the devil came. My whole body trembled in fear and I'm thinking of throwing up. I took a deep breath as he was approaching me.

He's twenty years older than me I guess so he looked like a father to me.

His warm hands touched my frozen skin and it gave me more chills all over my body. He slowly caressed my hair and the beating sounds of my heart could be heard by my ears. It's sounded like a drum. " Don't worry, I'll be gentle" he leaned over and begun to kiss my forehead.

His touch made me shivered and quivered every time he landed his hands on my soft skin.

I let him wandered his arms in my body but deep inside, I felt dirty all over. I just closed my eyes when he tore my dress and I face him half-naked. I covered my breast with my hands but he took it off. " Let me see you. You're so perfect, so pure and delicate. " He said and taste the sweetness of my pureness.

The tears began to flood my eyes when he put me in his bed and climbed on top of me. That night King Markus took my virginity. I had no right to object to whatever actions he would do to me because I'm the one who told him that he can do whatever he wants just to save me.

One month later

" Alpha King Markus, we've been attacked by the Rogues!" Argus, one of his Zeta warriors warned him.
