After being given a day to rest, my death training commenced. Hailey, who was in charge of rules and regulations, slumped on my bed.
"I don't think you can do this." Well, anyone would say so in his shoes if you've been teaching someone two statements for two hours without change.
"I am really sorry," I asked, looking dejected. It is not easy for someone like me who barely listens in class to grasp things very fast.
The rules were repeated as much as I needed to know them. We proceeded to clothing etiquette, Dailey's specialty.
Dailey frowns, "This should not be so hard for you," he looks at me with a face that pleads with me to learn fast on this one.
After hours of training, the sun already went down and we three omegas had our stomachs growling. Food was delivered with a little commotion when a female alpha who came to deliver food kept staring at me a little too much than normal, and I had to be pushed away from the entrance, away from her view.
What the fuck? I turned to glare at my caetinis, dread pulling strings in my stomach.
"I thought you said male alphas, Hailey! Dailey! Seriously!" I raised my voice and Dailey joined in, "It is not about males or alphas; it is about any other person except your husband and we, your caetinis. No one sees you without an heina!" his voice went higher at me, making me flinch.
Then Dailey crouched. Hailey, who left us to argue, felt like he had to intervene when he saw me shaking. He came to me and held me by the shoulder before calmly telling me, in that way one talks to a child, that I'll be fine. He said it is what I have to go through.
I had no idea the covering was to everyone and everybody. I now realized I could never even sunbathe in public or swim. Stupid me would never even have the chance to experience freedom with all of these rules. And just then, a tear slipped from my eyes. Tears were starting to flow uncontrollably.
Dailey joined in with Hailey and gave me a squeeze before the two omegas hugged me tightly. I was shown the beautiful parts of owning a heina, the expensiveness of it, the use of ownership, and the only usefulness I kind of liked the fact that the heina hides your expression totally from the outside world because you would have to be wearing a veil that covers the mouth.
Heinas were meant to be cagey and not this beautiful.
I am currently dressed in a full heina: the head covering, face veil, and luxurious man gown. The heina is full blue with gold lacings at the edge, another gold at the arm's length. It has the name 'Voldov' boldly written at the waist where a gold rope-like writing will be, to tighten the clothe at the waist for my lithe body. A yellow veil for the face and a deep blue head covering that looks like it was sewn with the heina.
I was forced to let out a gasp when I found the mirror, joined with a screech and a squeak. I am so amazed by the heina. It is beautiful. Like, beautifully beautiful as fuck.
I faced Hailey and Dailey, "Who said I don't want to wear this? I never want to take it off." I was still beaming when Dailey ruined the atmosphere unknowingly.
"Yeah, until you have to take it off for your husband." Having realized what he said, Dailey went stiff. "I am so sorry; I really did not mean it that way at all."
I totally understand how consummation works, especially one with a royal wolf. I waved Dailey off to tell him not to worry and we continued trying on more heinas, but deep down, something in me grew worried about me and Damiel's marriage consummation.
Two days have passed and I kind of now understand the rules of the Voldov family and my responsibilities as a partner to one of them.
"Hurry up, Dailey."
"Will you just calm your ass, Hailey?"
"Seriously you two, shut up!"
I was told I would be taken to the hotel close to the hall that would be used for my wedding, and we needed to pack enough clothes and accessories, like different heinas and the normal wears I would wear before the wedding and heina coronation.
The partner of a Voldov royal wolf descendant will still be given the grace to wear normal clothes like suits and gowns before the wedding, but after the wedding, a heina coronation party will take place. There the partner will be veiled and covered from other people forever.
After we were done packing, we met Herod and James waiting at the entrance of the door. I in my casuals, Hailey and Dailey in suits, Herod and James in well-fitted assassin clothes with their masks. The two alphas at the front, I in between the two omegas at the back.
At the hotel, people steered clear of us, with two alphas dressed like assassins and their masks, the crest of Voldov. Two omegas in suits that hug their body in the right places and an omega in between them all, in casuals.
It was a quick movement up the stairs like it were a crime for me to be seen. I turned to Herod and James to invite them in for food, when Hailey turned pink from ears to his face. I and Dailey burst into laughter amidst our tease towards Hailey, with the wiggling of our brows.
It was noticeable how James kept looking down even while eating to avoid looking at Hailey. Guess someone has a deep explaining to do; they've definitely had something going on before.
'Ohkay... found a total ship.'
After dinner, Herod and James were sent out of the room in order to test my clothes on me for tomorrow, so as to avoid mistakes or omissions.
