Page 15 of In Bellamira's Chains
The foyer was every bit as gaudy as the front of the mansion, more so even with plants and paintings covering nearly everyinch of the walls that led to the double staircases that led upstairs. To the right was one sitting area with a few sofas that matched the creamy aesthetic Catalina loved. To the left was a sunroom behind two glass doors. The room led to a large porch and pool. The outer “wall,” if you could call it that, was foldable, collapsing into the right side of the wall so it could be enjoyed during all weather scenarios. It was currently open.
I never got into the pool as I found it disgusting. Elera didn’t enjoy it either, but I made a note to ask Hazelle if she wanted to get in next time.
Catalina was the center of attention next to the pool with her male Omega at her feet, dangling his legs in the water. She was in a white pearlescent bikini that barely covered anything, and Layne was in a matching speedo, watching his Alpha lovingly. Unlike my pets, he wasn’t collared. He was, however, typically found near her. They had a relationship much like the one I had with Elera in a deeper sense.
Another doorman opened the doors and ushered us in.
The second my foot stepped through the door, Catalina squealed, “Bella! Come in, come in!” She sauntered over to us with her black hair swaying behind her and her bare feet slapping the ground. “Oh, and who is this adorable Omega hiding behind you?”
Elera stood to my left, and Hazelle remained behind me, giving me the same treatment she had done with Elera earlier, holding onto a piece of my dress for comfort. There wasn’t much to grab as this was a tight dress though.
“Hazelle,” I introduced her, motioning for her to step forward. “Elera’s gift and my new pet.” She did as instructed, standing just enough to the side that Catalina could see her.
“Well, how cute is she? Is that why you’re late, hm?” Catalina joked with a smirk on her full lips covered in a deep purple hue.
“I gave her a much needed but unplanned haircut. I knew you wouldn’t mind after you met her.”
“Oh, not at all. I’m definitely going to want to borrow her some time.” Hazelle stepped back, and although I couldn’t see her face, I knew her expression held a bit of terror. “Not tonight, sweetie, tonight you watch and learn. Spend time with your Alpha, meet a few others, oh, and say hi to my Omega, Layne. I think you’d like him. The first party is always…” She thought over her words for a second. “A lot. That can be a good and bad thing, but I do hope you enjoy yourself. I’m always here if any of you need anything.” She looked over the three of us as a servant came over with drinks on a tray. He had the usual for Elera and me and a lemonade for Hazelle.
“Dinner will be in thirty minutes, so I will leave you to it until then.”
“Thank you as always, Cat.” I turned to Hazelle who was staring after Catalina and ignoring her drink on the tray. “Did you want the lemonade, my pet, or was there something else you’d enjoy? My drink of choice is a Blood & Sand. Elera typically has a mimosa to start.”
She shook her head, then looked at me, then at the drink. “I like lemonade.” Hazelle grabbed the drink and thanked the servant before hiding again.
The chain had slack, and as we walked around the room greeting others, she had no problem letting them see her when introduced but hid when she wasn’t a part of the conversation. It bothered me less than I expected. She was a good Omega, a good pet, just shy and new to niceties.
“I can’t believe you went through with it. I can barely handle the one.” Daana was a cunt to keep it simple. She had a singular Beta male who was rarely around, and she never missed an opportunity to bash on his existence. Daana didn’t understand that she was part of the problem and he simply wasn’t the onefor her, but getting that through her head had never worked before.
“Hazelle fits in very well with us, and Elera has already taken a liking to her. I’m hoping after tonight, it will be cemented even more.”
“You have all the luck, Bellamira. Perhaps I could request some time with this new one of yours, then, since you refuse to let me use Elera.” She tried to smile, but it came off as more of a sneer as she leaned around me to look at Hazelle.
“Never in your wildest dreams, Daana. You know what I think about you and the way you treat your Beta. You questioning me again is an insult.” I scoffed and glared down at the smaller female Alpha.
“Daana, are you causing trouble again?” Perrin came up beside her; his timing was impeccable as always, and I wondered if he’d request Elera after all. “You know Catalina gave you one more strike before you’re never invited here again. Why don’t you fuck off and sit by a plant that won’t be offended by your existence, hm?” There was a reason Elera liked Perrin and requested that he use her tonight. Not only was he similar in personality to me, but he was far gentler than I would ever be. He respected all beings, no matter their designation, but enjoyed the status that came with his Alpha rank.
“Perry, always a pleasure,” I said as Daana slinked off and out of my sight. “She truly is repugnant, thinking I’d ever let her touch what is mine.” I felt Hazelle scoot in closer with her head peeking around my side.
“Even if I didn’t already know why, seeing Hazelle makes it all the more clear.” Perrin smiled down at her, his light brown hair flopping over his deep brown eyes. Everything about him screamed soft kindness, and I was happy to confirm that it encompassed his bedroom behavior as well. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say he was more Beta or Omega material, but onlyAlphas had egos the size of ours. Besides, he was nearly as tall as I was in my heels. That pegged him for an Alpha if nothing else did.
“Hazelle won’t be partaking in anything tonight anyway. This is her first time out, and no one is worthy of that honor.”
“Ah, I see, so my request was denied before I even spoke it. Then I would like to put my name in the hat for Elera, and jot me down for Hazelle whenever she is ready, hm?” He looked at both of them respectively and with kindness beaming from him.
“Of course. I was hoping you’d request Elera tonight to show Hazelle how things are done around here. After all, you are Elera’s favorite.” I heard Elera gasp beside me as Perrin burst into laughter.
“Am I? What an honor, Elera.” He gave a slight bow with a smile brightening his face. “I will gladly help you break in your new Omega. Until then. Bellamira.” Perrin nodded his head and sauntered off.
“I can’t believe you said that,” Elera said just loud enough for me to hear, and I chuckled.
“I will say as I please. You know this.” My voice was stern but not harsh.
“I didn’t mean—”
“I know, Elera. I was joking.”
Dinner was announced a moment later, and we made our way to the massive dining room, fit with one long table that seated thirty easily along with space for any pets, slaves, or otherwise that others brought. On either side of my seat placed a smidge back were two cushions for Elera and Hazelle.
