I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 86 - The Way of the Alpha

"So... Can I cover my junk already or do I have to remain like this for the rest of our stay here?" I ask after a few moments of rest.

A cute giggle reaches my ears and I stop leaning my head over the backrest to look at a certain dwarf smiling at me while snuggled to my left side.

I squint my eyes at her. "Don't you think it's unfair for Astrea to be the only one naked?"

Sirgia's cheeks flush with red and she escapes my gaze. I chuckle and pat her head, turning to look down at Astrea, who again got herself into lying on my lap, now on her back while glancing at me from below; her delicate figure and petite chest are just so charming I subconsciously start to graze my fingers over the skin of her exposed belly.

Astrea closes her eyes to enjoy the pleasant rubs that are rewarded with delightful purring. She opens them soon after and our gazes connect.

"You can do anything you want. There's no need to worry about it. It might actually be a good idea to cover yourself. The sight might be distracting for females, especially those who witnessed the ritual."

I shake my head with a wry smile. "Good. I can think of at least one person that fits the description."

"Her name is Hari."

"The Pantherkin girl?" I ask to confirm that our thoughts align.

"Mhm."

Switching to scratching behind Astrea's ear, I move my gaze slightly to the side, onto the group of five Beastkin women. The person in question is the only one lying on her side with plenty of liquid escaping her mouth; both the one at the top and bottom. She has clearly climaxed at least a few times.

"She has quite innocent looks but I guess it's just a huge deception. Is she always like that?" I ask.

"She loves when her partner treats her like a toy while they mate, preferably in front of other females. She enjoys making them envious by showing how good she feels from it. I'm fairly sure she was imagining herself in my place during the ritual."

"Great... A complete freak that gets off to people watching her getting violated..."

"But not the way Micah did it. Even Vii, who likes to do it rough, hated the previous alpha for how much he hit the females while mating. You saw it yourself. None of them could stand his abuse. That's why I always made Micah swear that he wouldn't call for them after our duels."

I move my palm to hold it by her cheek and smile at Astrea warmly. "Not all heroes wear capes, huh..."

She tilts her head as one of her ears twitches curiously.

"Pay it no mind. You are amazing, that's all. I really admire you."

"That's right," Sirgia joins in.

Astrea looks between us for a brief moment. "It's the responsibility of the strong to protect the weak. I haven't done anything special. Strong should fight strong and weak should fight weak. Strong shouldn't bully the weak."

I hold my hand in front of her to clearly convey my intentions and Astrea raises herself up with its help. Pulling her closer, I start affectionately rubbing my face into her cheek to show her my appreciation. It looks slightly comical from the outsider's perspective, but who cares.

"Alright. I think we've rested enough," I say after pulling away slightly; Astrea now sits on my thighs while facing me. "First things first. I assume it is, but is it alright for a Human to be the alpha?"

"Your assumption is correct," a familiar voice answers and I notice the three elders coming closer. It's the woman who speaks. "This is not an enclosed clan or tribe but an open Community. The pillar of its creation was to grant shelter to anyone who requires it. And the leadership always belonged to the strongest person. We, Beastkin, respect strength above almost all else, as you already know."
