Chapter 54
Ryan and Michael exchanged glances, finding the situation increasingly strange. They then turned their attention to Rishima, who was being held in Zvonimir’s arms. The atmosphere between them grew awkward and uncomfortable.
Of course, it wasn’t Ryan or Michael who felt embarrassed–it was Rishima.
A month ago, she had been Zvonimir’s mate. Now, she had been reduced to his mistress, enduring his humiliation.
Mistress and mate were not the same.
Everyone understood that a mistress was nothing more than a fleeting dalliance. A mistress could never be publicly acknowledged; she would forever remain a shadow, hidden away, never recognized as the Alpha’s mate.
According to the empire’s unwritten rules, if a male wolf ever attempted to elevate his mistress to the status of mate, he would become a laughingstock. Mistresses were seen as mere playthings–discarded without hesitation once they had served their purpose.
Ryan silently observed Rishima, thinking, “No wonder she seems so unwilling. She used to be proud and aloof. How could someone like her accept becoming a mistress? Zvonimir must have forced her.”
“Although he sympathized with Rishima, Zvonimir was his close friend. Thus, even though Michael disagreed with Zvonimir’s actions, he chose to remain silent.
Michael’s personality had always been carefree. If Zvonimir had brought another female wolf, he would have noisily teased her into performing all sorts of entertaining antics.
But now, seeing Rishima’s cold, beautiful face, Michael couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity.
The room was filled with depraved and unruly wolves, their attire flamboyant and sloppy.
Only Rishima, dressed in a white shirt and a long black skirt, stood out–clean and elegant, resembling a university student just dismissed from class.
This appearance of hers attracted the attention of many male wolves in the room. Everyone turned their focus to Zvonimir, seeing him bring his former mate here and casually state it was just for fun. They all understood what was going on.
Zvonimir’s implication was clear: Rishima was now his mistress, accompanying him here solely to serve him.
She was different from the other female wolves in the bar, who served multiple male wolves. She only served Zvonimir alone.
But in the end, she was no different. She would still spread her legs for a male wolf; she was just as degraded as the others.
That was precisely how Daryl looked at Rishima.
Daryl, Zvonimir’s cousin, was also invited to the party tonight. He had disliked Rishima before, and now, seeing her sitting coldly next to Zvonimir, he curled his lips into a mocking smile.
“Cousin, she’s sitting there like a statue. She doesn’t even know how to serve you. Such a buzzkill.” Daryl, holding a female wolf in his arms, approached Zvonimir.
Rishima acted as if she hadn’t heard the comment, her face expressionless as she sat on the sofa, letting Zvonimir hold her.
Zvonimir cast a sidelong glance at Daryl. However, he wasn’t fond of Rishima’s indifferent attitude either, so he asked Daryl, “Then tell me, how should she serve me?”

“That’s easy.” Daryl signaled to the female wolf beside him with a wink. “You, come here and show her how a mistress should serve her patron.”
The female wolf smiled, poured glass of wine, and sat on Daryl’s lap. She took a sip of the wine, then leaned in to kiss Daryl, transferring the wine from her mouth into his.
The surrounding wolves erupted in cheers. “Amazing! That’s such a thrilling game!”
Zvonimir smiled. Suddenly, he grabbed Rishima’s chin, his gaze fixed on her calm eyes. For some inexplicable reason, irritated him deeply, so he commanded, “Did you see that? Learn from her and serve me the same way.”
her composure
Rishima replied blandly, “I won’t do that.”
The smile vanished from Zvonimir’s face. “Can’t learn? If you can’t, I have the whores in this bar come and teach you–teach you until you’ve mastered how to serve your patron.“>
As soon as Zvonimir finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone stared at Rishima with contempt and ridicule in their eyes, eagerly waiting to see her humiliated.”
