The house is vast and silent, save for the soft hum of the central heating. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon light slanting through tall windows. I run a cloth along the mahogany shelves, each movement careful, methodical. My fingers tremble against the wood. I'm still wearing the collar from before—thin, cold metal that chafes. The bruises on my arms are fading to yellow-green, but the memories burn fresh. My new Alpha hasn't returned yet. Her scent lingers in the hallways: musk and cedar, younger than my last owner's. I wonder if she'll be different. I press a hand to my stomach to settle the nausea and wait. The door clicks.
