Past and present

She hasn't eaten like this for a long time. Such food is hot, warm and carefully prepared. Mashed potatoes are soft, with some sea salt particles, so they can be called food. Those shrivelled bread and broken fruit shells can't be compared in any case.

A long time ago, when she first came to the sober-elves store, she knew for the first time that there was such a place. The first lesson they learned was called "obedience".

She trained with many beautiful sober-elves, starved for many days, and only had some clean water to drink. It is said that there was no dirty water because the shopkeeper was afraid that they will get sick, so they cannot sell at a good price.

In the middle of the night, they were taken to see the shopkeeper. They were hungry for a long time and saw the shopkeeper for the first time. He is an ordinary-looking man. Like all the men on the road, he is nothing special. He even has a slight smile, which makes them relax a little.

The shopkeeper sat at the table with some fluffy baked bread on it. His eyes searched among sober-elves and finally looked at a gentle purple-eyed female sober-elves. He waved to her kindly and told her in a gentle and kind tone that she had been hungry for a long time. So she could come and eat something and receive later training.

Under his reassurance again, the girl showed a slightly relaxed mood. She slowly walked to the table and stretched out her hand under the encouraging eyes of the shopkeeper to take a piece of bread.

In fact, she did get it, but when she got it, the gentle shopkeeper suddenly changed his face, took out an electric stick from under the table and hit her hard.

She immediately gave out a scream. The sound was like a kitten scalded by hot water, which made Letitia's heart cold.

Subconsciously, she covered her mouth and dared not make a sound. She looked at the scene with wide eyes. Almost all sober-elves were trembling. They shrank in the corner and watched the sober-elves faint when she was hit by an electric stick.

The shopkeeper stood up with an electric stick, and he regained his seemingly friendly expression. He told every sober-elves didn't deserve to eat with their owners. They were slaves and pets. If they violate it, then this sober-elves is their end in the future.

Letitia remembers this day at any time. The frightened face is deeply imprinted in her mind, and the scream is also a major source of her nightmares.

When Joshua brought herself mashed potatoes, she was really afraid. Would it be a trap? Will she be beaten and tortured like the sober-elves?

She didn't dare to think so much, but she was really too hungry. The feeling of hunger had been going hand in hand over the years. She hadn't smelled the aroma of such food for a long time, but her inner fear made her keep paying attention to her master while enjoying delicious food.

She has to admit that he is a very strong man. He is in a dominant position all year round. When he sits in a chair, even if he just looks down at his watch, his side face still makes people palpitate.

She watched his movements while eating. He watched her eat with a cup of hot milk. He was full of patience. He looked at her with great concentration. When she hurried through the food, he didn't show any impatience. Although he didn't talk much, it made Letitia a little relieved.

After she was finally able to speak, he seemed very happy. That kind of happiness was a little proud, which made Letitia close her lips and become a little bolder unconsciously. She subconsciously thought:

Shouldn't he like sober-elves who are too timid?

Joshua sat next to her. They were very close. In fact, this should be the normal range between sober-elves and the master, but no one realized that this is a very close and ambiguous distance between men and women who have met for the first time.

Joshua was looking down at her. Her breath filled the whole room. It was an extremely lively sweet smell. Joshua felt vague that this smell is very similar to the doughnuts in the bakery kitchen.

He stretched out his finger, stroked the girl's ear hair, smiled and said, "my name is Joshua. Of course, it's nice for you to call me master. You'll continue to call me that, won't you?"

His tone contained a little order. Although it was an inquiry, Letitia couldn't say no. She is a commodity bought by Joshua. Although he looks a little better than other owners, he is also her master. Letitia must learn to obey him.

She nodded and tried again to say the word "master". Joshua is more satisfied. When she calls her master, she looks very serious, like a smart dog, which gives people a strange sense of love.

Joshua stood up, but this time he took Letitia's hand, which was different from the previous one. He really held the girl's hand for the first time.

Her hands are very soft, as soft as her character. Her fingers are very cold, but the palm of her hand is a little warm.

"Let's go and show you your room." He walked ahead naturally. Letitia pursed her lips, with some struggle and hesitation in her eyes. Sober-elves rarely have their own rooms. Most of them live at the feet of their owners. Some sober-elves' so-called "rooms" are even just cages.

But she didn't speak. She still obediently followed Joshua.

The situation should not be worse. At least Joshua is a very gentleman compared with other cruel and rough werewolves.

The door of the room is next to the wardrobe. It's a small door. After opening the door, Letitia saw that it was a room of about 10 square meters, with a small bed and a wardrobe with half of the wall. Now it was open, with some girls' clothes. Her eyes glanced over these clothes. It was obvious that her nightdress came from here.

"I asked someone to prepare on the way. Do you like it?" He looked at Letitia with a natural look: "of course, your room will be bigger at home. It's too late today and there's not much to prepare."

He looked very happy, and Letitia continued: "After that, you will have a display rack for collars, and I will give you some with gemstones. You are so beautiful, gemstones match you."

Letitia was a little unhappy, but she seemed to realize something was wrong.

Other sober-elves Will you live like this? He seems to be very skilled. Were there any other sober-elves before?

So, will he be so kind to them?

Her mood was a little lower. Even she couldn't say why. In order to divert her attention, she forced her eyes to move to another place. She found that the bed in this room actually looked very soft. Not only that, but also a very comfortable and soft quilt. There was a big and soft pillow, and the colour was light and soft pink.

Is this the bed for her?

She couldn't believe it. There was a glass bottle in the cabinet beside the bed, which was an aromatic candle that could be lit before going to bed. Joshua walked over and lit the candle.

A very familiar fragrance filled the air. It was a very cold flower fragrance. She couldn't tell what it was. But the aroma was overbearing and soon filled the room.

Letitia opened her eyes wide. She suddenly looked up at Joshua.

This is the taste of Joshua's pheromone! She smelled it in the car and was Joshua smelled it in that coat. The coat wrapped her in ragged and embarrassing clothes, and the pheromone with flower fragrance soothed her mood.

Joshua laughed immediately after seeing her reaction. He rarely showed his pheromone taste to others, but he has also seen a lot of research. The smell of alpha pheromone can appease his sober-elves. On her first day here, if she had his pheromone at night, she might sleep better.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Letitia subconsciously released her holding hand, stepped back and stood in the corner. It was a frightened posture.
