Chapter Thirty-Four

Sebastian took Anna up to the room she’d awakened in the previous night.

“Anna, I wanted to talk to you before you go down to the Elder’s Chambers. About being an Elder-Mistress.”

Anna looked at him confused. “What do you mean?” She knew what it meant to be an Elder-Mistress. She did what Devin told her to do. She helped manipulate people and change their thinking so that they wanted to do what Devin wanted them to do.

“Anna, the way Devin has treated you is revolting. Elder-Mistresses are to be respected. They are not slaves. Yes, they have Masters, but that is because they are given to the Elders for a purpose. Elders are married and cannot take second wives. There are occasions when a Son is given a half-Immortal for a wife. Then her husband is her Master. This would have been your case if Devin hadn’t taken you. This is what Alex is working to undo.”

“I’m not a slave?” Had Devin lied to her? Hope rose in her chest.

“Unfortunately, yes, Anna. You are a slave. Devin made you that way.” He sighed. “I don’t know if you could function properly if you weren’t. He fucked with your head too much when you were growing up.”

“Oh.” She stared at her hands, hopes dashed.

“You are not to be raped. You are not to be harmed. Yes, your sexuality is helpful and can be used to gain an edge for the Elder. But Devin should not send you into harm’s way.” Sebastian paused and Anna looked up. The anger had turned his blue eyes slightly golden around the edges. “He should warn those men to treat you respectfully. And if they don’t, they should be punished.”

Anna didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t imagine Devin cooperating with Alex.

Sebastian took a slow breath and looked at her, his eyes returning to their normal crystalline blue, though they were still intense. “From now on Alex will make sure that Devin treats you with respect. When you go in to greet the Elders this morning, you will walk in with your head held high. Not arrogantly, but gracefully. You need to respect the Elders and defer to them. Bowing to them when you greet them is proper. But you don’t need to grovel in front of them.”

Anna gaped at Sebastian. What he said sounded so foreign.

“Do you understand what I’ve told you, Anna?”

“I don't think Devin will like it.”

“It doesn’t matter whether he likes it or not.” The fire in his eyes blazed briefly once more. “Alex is your husband and Devin must respect that.”

Anna looked at him doubtfully, but said nothing.

“Trust me, Anna,” Sebastian said, taking her hand. “And trust Alex. He’ll keep you safe. Life will be very different from now on.”

Anna knew that Sebastian spoke the truth, but she still had a hard time believing him. She gave him a timid smile. “I’ll try.”

“Good. Now, I will go get Jutta and she will help you get ready. I’ll be back to get you in a little while.
