Chapter 34: Chapter 34
Cecil laid face down on Alois’ bed, resting on his knees and wearing only his dress shirt, underwear, and socks. He couldn’t believe the other Alpha, he had rid Cecil of the ability to walk and then just walked out smiling.
Cecil hadn’t been expecting Alois to actually go through with the spanking, right up till the moment he was pulled over Alois’ legs, he still believed it was a prank.
He buried his face in the sheets and let out a soft groan, for someone who was claiming to help, he did not hit Cecil softly at all.
Cecil didn’t cry at all, his lashes were merely clumped together from the trauma he was put through. He was naive to put any amount of trust in Alois because that’s how he ended up on Alois’ bed, unable to move, his bottom bruised.
He wasn’t sure where Alois went but Cecil had no intention of remaining here till he returned, that would be courting the devil.
’Did he fall asleep?’ Because he didn’t have any memory of what happened right after Alois left. It had been over an hour since then, he couldn’t remember what happened during that space of time.
He might have been spared some of this torture if he had just asked Alois to stop like he had been offered. But Cecil had already lost all of his dignity, he wasn’t going to stoop lower to beg Alois for his freedom.
Cecil slowly pushed up from the bed, wincing as he did so from the stinging. The thought of the ordeal he just went through made tears spring to his eyes, hatred boiling in his middle at his despicable, grass-haired roommate.
He was going to get back at him, he definitely was.
Cecil somehow managed to get his pants on, dashing out of the room as fast as he could before the monster he shared a dorm with returned.
He felt the impact of Alois’ strikes on his skin with every step he took, and there had been a layer of cloth between them. With how raw Cecil felt, a layer of his skin might have as well been stripped off before the spanking commenced and Alois had the nerve to threaten him with a paddle.
"Ridiculous." He unconsciously muttered out loud - there would not be a next time.
Cecil couldn’t believe that he had even allowed it to happen the first time but it wasn’t like he had much of a choice. It was either that or losing everything.
But now as he limped up to the third floor, he started to seriously reconsider which was actually the damnable choice.
He knocked impatiently on the door of the dorm room shared by Perry and Leeson.
The door swung open to reveal Leeson with a nasty expression on his face which quickly faded away when he saw who was behind the door.
Perry jumped off his bed. "Is that Cecil?"
Cecil was uninterested in pleasantries; his legs felt a little unstable, he had to sit down or preferably lay down before his legs gave out under him and he crumbled to the ground.
He was expecting to be asked questions but instead, both of them just stared at him as he shoved Leeson out of the way and beelined for one of the empty beds.
Just as he got to the bed, he realized that they were still staring. This irked Cecil who already had a short fuse. "What is it?" He bit out at them, glaring darkly.
"I-I... It’s just... are you ill? You’re quite red in the face." Perry pointed hesitantly, wary of the sour expression on Cecil’s face.
Cecil’s eyes widened at this, his pupils dilating. "Yes." He bluntly lied, gingerly getting on the bed. "I’m going to take a nap now, don’t bother me..."
Before he was even done talking the two crowded him. "You’re ill?" Perry panicked.
"Shouldn’t you go to the infirmary instead?" Leeson chimed in, nervously ruffling his short hair.
Cecil glared at them, slowly getting in the position that was most comfortable for him, which was on his front with his knees tucked under him. "I said, don’t bother me."
They both quickly backed off. "But shouldn’t you change into something lighter so you can cool down easier?" Perry suggested.
Cecil let out a groan of frustration, burying his face in a pillow. "Are your ears filled with cotton?!" He yelled, the pillow muffling his voice.
That was enough to get the two of them to completely back off. It was already time for lunch but Leeson and Perry hadn’t felt up to going but now, they got up to leave.
They had never seen Cecil get that irritable, it was best for everyone involved that they stayed out of his sight for the meantime, although they were worried about him.
Cecil hadn’t been aware that he was red-faced earlier but after the offer for him to undress, he could actually feel his face get hot.
He didn’t have to check to know that vivid palm prints were visible on the back of his thighs, explaining that would kill him.
He could finally take a deep breath when both Alphas left the dorm room, his eyelids getting heavy. It would be more comfortable to at least take his pants off but he couldn’t risk it.
Ruined bleached hair fell over his reddened nose tip as he slowly fell asleep, his knees slipping out from under him.

Henri walked out of the stable and right into the middle of Seton petting his horse. It was a blond horse with a flowing flaxen mane. freēwebnovel.com
"Couldn’t find a horse that fit your size?" Seton taunted, patting his horse’s back. "You can ride with me if you want."
Henri refused to give him the satisfaction of a retort, staring him down silently.
"Gold Knight is a championship-winning horse, he won’t drop you." Seton kept going, walking his horse closer to Henri.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Tarquin’s voice came from the entrance of the stables.
Henri didn’t have to turn around to know that Tarquin was walking out Moonlight, the expression on the faces of the Alphas present was more than enough proof.
The horse went straight to Henri, it had to lean down for Henri to touch its nose. "I believe there’s more space on Moonlight, want to ride with me instead?" He tossed back at Seton.
