Anna wasn't surprised. For years, he and Adam had been battling to unite all the countries into just one faction.
"And you haven't dated in all that time? You haven't told me about your girlfriends."
"I'm dating a young woman. At first I didn't want to, I was looking for an older woman, about forty or fifty, but she kept coming after me, begging for my attention, and my comrades were already starting to annoy me with their jokes, so I picked her up, took her to my house and blew my penis on her for a whole day. The only reason I didn't stay all night with her was because it was my shift. But when I got back the next morning, she was still there waiting for me. She washed my clothes and looked after the house. So since that day I've been leaving things that way. But I'm very suspicious of this interest. She's the daughter of millionaires. Which I didn't think I'd ever like, but I ended up liking, because even though she receives invitations from the neighbors, wives and girlfriends of the other werewolves, she doesn't mix with them. And she doesn't dress like them. She has elegance. Maybe I'll marry her."
"I bet you'll hurt a lot of hearts with that decision." Anna said smiling, and they stopped in front of an old house. "Is this it?"
"Don't you like the place?"
"It's not that. We must have left not even fifteen minutes ago."
"It's a five-minute drive. That's because there are a lot of dirt roads and we have to drive at a maximum speed of forty kilometers."
"It's very close to where my son is."
"He won't hear a thing." Adonis said laughing. "He wouldn't even hear it if he was in that old house. The basement is lined with Styrofoam and covered with additional sound baffles."
"Are you sure you don't have any neighbors?"
"Absolutely sure. Not around here. All this land belongs to the boss." He said and jumped out of the car.
Anna also jumped out and looked away, and saw that there were workers in the fields.
"What about those men? Who are they?"
"They're us. Everyone has their own day to come here and look after the crops. The boss opened a market for agricultural products to romanticize the true usefulness of this place."
"What's the real use of this place? I always thought it was home, Adam's favorite place."
Adonis smiled.
"This place, Anna, is a cemetery. Alpha hides a reason for staying in this place that no one, apart from his brother, knows about."
"The green house?"
"No." He just said.
Anna turned back, and the men were already loading everything into the basement. And one of them was coming with Sarah, who was walking free, since she offered no resistance and there was no chance of a successful escape with so many fast and strong werewolves around her. Sarah knew she wouldn't get far if she tried to run. She stopped and looked at Anna.
"So this is where you're going to kill me?" She asked debauched.
"I'm not going to kill you." Anna said, and shifting her eyes to the man next to Sarah, gave her order. "Take her inside and settle her in the place I asked you to prepare for her.
The man obeyed and took the woman away. Sarah walked quietly beside him.
Adonis found Anna's attitude strange and looked at her questioningly.
"Aren't you going to go in and do what you planned in such detail? Given the number of instruments, if you want to use them all, it will take a few hours."
"Not today, Adonis. She was fed today. I'll be back tomorrow. But I'll go down there when she's properly strapped into the chair."
"Why? Is it part of your torture to let her starve?"
"Not exactly. But I'll make sure she has the diet she once planned for me. However, tell the men who will be staying here that they can serve her a cornmeal porridge for dinner, and nothing else. Tomorrow, I'll bring with me what she's going to eat."
"I heard what she did for you and your family."
"I think so. Caricature wouldn't let you believe that I was being too cruel."
"I'll stay with you inside, to prevent her from escaping and... in case you want to do something that requires force, or that you don't have the stomach for..."
"Thank you, Adonis. I couldn't have better company. Shall we go in and see if she's properly lodged?"
Adonis took Anna's hand and led her down to the basement. They entered through the back door of the old house, and Anna was surprised that the place was so clean and had a well-equipped kitchen. Looking from the outside, the house was old, faded and uninhabited.
Adonis explained that sometimes one of the female employees would come and cook for the men who worked there. But they were discreet and knew what was done there and never told anyone.
The door down to the basement was in the kitchen. Anna opened it and saw with satisfaction the darkness that reigned inside, which ended only when she turned on the light and went down the steps, closely followed by Adonis.
Anna slowly approached the woman who was tied to a chair with her back to her, and saw that the instruments of torture were right in front of her victim's eyes. That in itself was torture.
"Come out to me Anna. And bring this wonderful man, who you'll end up making your lover, if you're not stupid. He's good for the eyes. I can feel my vagina getting wet just imagining him on top of me. You need to try different things, young lady. Lens men's penises are wonderful, yes, but they're all the same. The penis of the man next to you must be much tastier. What do you think about letting him take his penis out and put it in my mouth? I'd love that. I know he's with you, because I can hear your footsteps. Or do you think that only werewolves hear and humans are deaf?" Sarah asked debauchedly, but calmly, and Anna signaled for Adonis to wait for her there, and went in front of Sarah.
