“And do you like serving the Sector Leader?”
“As I said before, can be strict but he’s always been fair it’s the…my apologies. I spoke out of turn.”
I have a feeling she was about to tell me something I wasn’t supposed to know. “Please tell me, Willa.”
“Forget I said anything. It’s best that you don’t know.”
“Is it because you think I’d run and tell the Sector Leader? You don’t have to worry about that. Besides, I have more reason to be wary of you than you need to be of me. I’m new here and so far my experience hasn’t been great with the other staff. So please, if you think it’s something that could help me out while I’m here then I wish you’d tell me. I promise, I won’t say tell anyone.”
Willa begins to pace the floor, wringing her hands together. “I just need you to be careful. The Sector Leader’s second holds a great deal of power in this fortress and a lot of the staff is loyal to him. Be careful who you trust.”
I’m not sure what to do with this information. My capacity to trust is already pretty low but hearing this gives me a new concern. “How do I know that I can trust you?”
“Anora and I have been with Lord Draken since he became the Sector Leader. He has his own factor of staff who are loyal to him.”
“I sense a but in there.”
“But…the Chancellor’s loyalists are slowly starting to outnumber the Sector Leaders’ people.”
I can hear the fear in her voice and it worries me that something sinister is going on in this place.
“Does the Sector Leader know?”
Willa shakes his head. “I’m not sure if he’s aware. He’s been extremely busy lately. There’s been a lot of mishaps in this Sector lately and he’s been away a lot.”
“And when he’s away, his Second-In-Command is in charge?”
“Yes. I think I’ve already said too much. Please don’t ask me to tell you anymore.”
Of course. I didn’t want the woman to be any more uncomfortable than she already was.
But now I had a new fear to face. I’d been so worried about being a breeder and fighting against these awakening feelings I had for the Sector Leader. But now, I was wondering if I’d landed myself in the middle of a civil war.
Chapter
Fourteen
DRAKEN
In the past several days, I’ve been dealing with nothing but emergencies all over my sector. It was if the entirety of Sector 10 was slowly imploding. There was rebellion all over the land, governors were fighting amongst each other, and according to my reports, there was a large amount of funds missing from the fishery accounts.
My sector is full of natural resources that’s sustained our lands for years but one of our most profitable ventures are our fisheries because not only are we able to distribute food throughout our sector, we also make a large profit from exporting our goods to other Sectors.
But the problems were not only in Sector 10 but in my fortress as well. And I had a sneaking suspicion of the source.
Because of all the recent emergencies, I haven’t had a chance to visit Jamie. When I wasn’t consumed by running my Sector, my thoughts are consumed with images of her.
I can’t forget the taste of her sweet lips, the softness of her skin, how delicious her pussy was.
I could lay between her thighs for days and still not get enough.
There was still the matter of the flag on her file. If it was known that she killed asuperiousI was obligated to see to her execution. I have been looking for loopholes around this however. For now, as my breeder she will remain safe.
I push away from my desk knowing I can no longer concentrate on my work when my thoughts keep returning to her.
Just as I leave my office, I see Johra approach. “My Lord, I’ve compiled a list of all the staff for you and uploaded their files, assignments and any other pertinent information available.”
“Good, I’ll take a look at them later.”
