Isabeau's POVHe helps me stand straight.“Are you alright?” He asks softly.“I'm— I'm fine. What about you? You slept in today, are you feeling alright?”“I'm fine. I couldn't get much sleep last night, I was only able to get some rest in the early hours of the morning.” He speaks lightly and the guilt from last night quickly comes reeling in.“I heard about the requirements for this challenge. I wish you success, I know you'll win this. Just make sure to be safe, I wouldn't be able to handle it if any harm came to you.” He speaks again.The words take me completely by surprise. Is this actually Loic? I thought he would have asked to come with me. Heck, I thought he'd make a fuss about me going alone. I'll never admit it out loud but I love his clinginess.His words, the way he said them, though good natured, show that he's mad at me. I sigh.“So you won't be coming with me?”“No. It was brought to my knowledge that during this challenge, you're not allowed assistance from anyone, be

Isabeau's POVI don’t even remember falling asleep. But next thing I know, Lyric is waking me up with a smile.“Good morning, Isa. How was your night?” She asks in a singsong voice.I can’t stop the memories flooding into my mind so I end up with a blush before I reply, "It was very, very good. Thank you.”“Pardon me for saying this but you might want to take a look at your neck.” Lyric mouths and hands me a mirror.I take a look and a gasp escapes my mouth. Dark red hickeys have bloomed all over my neck and chest, some have even turned purple. Stellan did not relent. My face turns beet red with embarrassment. No one else can see me like this.“I can tell you had quite the adventurous night.” Lyric teases with a smile.“Don't. I'm already embarrassed enough as it is, you really can't breathe a word about this to anyone.”“I promise I won't. I'll even help you cover them with makeup. This competition is very crucial and we can't let anything set you in a bad light.”“That would be much

Isabeau's POVI slam the door hard as I leave the King's bedroom. I'm so annoyed I can't even quantify it.That stupid arrogant demon just knows how to get under my skin every damn time. He couldn’t even let me have a perfect night with Stellan. No, he just had to appear and ruin it all.I huff as I try to calm my erratically beating heart. The events of the last few hours have been more than I could have ever imagined. But right now, I have to sneak back into my room without anyone seeing me.I simply can't afford to get any negative attention on me, especially after just being accused of trying to poison the King and the entire council.I'm not ashamed of people finding out that Stellan and I have a deeper relationship, the problem is, that information won't work in my favor at the moment since no one except the both of us are aware of the terms of our agreement.Then there's the horrible things they would say about me. I can almost hear them gossiping in my imagination….‘You won't

Isabeau's POVI blush a deep shade of red when I realize that the blanket had landed on the floor when I got off the bed in a hurry. I'm fully naked before him, flushed skin and all. The cool breeze from the window stiffens my nipples and riddles my skin with goosebumps.I move closer and swiftly snatch the blanket, wrapping it around my body before finally returning my attention to him. The smug look on his face annoys me to no end.“You're such a pervert, you don't seem to know the first thing about privacy.” I berate, my annoyance seeping through my voice.His laugh crackles around the room like electricity while I try to school my expression in an attempt to disguise my unease. He's up to something, I can tell.“You know what, Isa dear? You might actually be sexier than Lilith with that lying mouth of yours and your oh so beautiful body which seems like it was only built to be fucked.” He titters, clearly amused.“Will you just stop?! Stop spluttering such nonsense, not everything

Isabeau's POVHe thrusts out and gently plunges back in, thrusting into me without pulling out completely."Yeah, just like that…." I sigh.The pain quickly subsides until it disappears completely and I find yourself wanting more."I want more, please….. please fuck me harder." I plead out."Your wish is my command." He replies with a chuckle.He begins increasing the pace of his thrusts, pummeling into me at a steady pace. His rigid, hot length pushes into me, scraping my insides, bumping into spots I didn't know existed."Faster, harder, please…." I push on.His lips twist in a mischievous smile before thrusting into me hard and fast, nearly knocking the air from my lungs.He begins pummeling into me so hard and fast that I can barely catch a breath but it feels too good.I don't care that my voice is echoing around the room, my lower half feels amazing and I never want it to stop.Stellan takes it up a notch by bringing his hand to my engorged clitoris. He massages my clitoris rou

Isabeau's POV He smiles, knowing just what my body needs. He wraps his lips around my erect, red clitoris all the while fucking my cunt with his fingers.He sucks on my clit vigorously, flicking his tongue over the sensitive bundle of nerves and biting slightly while still finger fucking me.In an instant, the mind numbing pleasure erupts and my orgasm takes over.I let out a loud moan but managed to cover my mouth at the last moment. My body shakes and my pussy spasms and clenches uncontrollably, holding onto Stellan's fingers like a vice.In the meantime, he still licks and sucks my clit even through my orgasm.Wave after wave of electricity washes over me and my toes curl. My orgasm lasts for a few seconds, the mind blowing pleasure almost blinding me. I'm left a breathless and gushing mess and I try to catch my breath as I attempt to come down from my high.What sorcery did he use? I've never cummed this hard before, my whole body's shaking."You look so beautiful when you cum

I began shaking before I knew it, fresh tears gathering at the edge of my eyes."You don't have to worry, it's not too deep. I just have to take you to the Pack house quickly so you can be safe before I deal with this bastard. I won't show him mercy this time for making an attempt on the love of my life." Zephyr assured me and took me in a hug, patting my back soothingly.We detached from the hug and looked to where Ruben was formerly laying, he was nowhere to be found and I could feel my adrenaline rush. "Evelyn!" Zephyr called suddenly, making my heart nearly leap out of my chest. Before I have time to wonder what might be going on, he grabs a hold of my wrist and crashes my body against his in a hug, instantly turning us around and switching our position and barely a few seconds later, I hear a sick sound of metal digging into flesh. I immediately feel nauseous as the vomit quickly rushes up my throat but I manage to hold it back.Still in his tight embrace, I take a look and see

After returning to my room, only then did I realize how harsh I had been to Zephyr. I had never acted like that towards anyone before but I was so filled with anger and the memories of my past suffering that I went overboard just a little bit. I felt a little guilty but I decided that I wouldn't apologize to him. He deserved everything he got.When I returned to my room, Nevaeh was fast asleep once more and I thanked my mum for her efforts but she asked me about what happened between Zephyr and I and I told her I was feeling too tired to talk. I would be willing to discuss it the next day because I'm tired and a pregnant woman really needs her sleep.She left and I took a bath before going to bed.I woke up early the next day and prepared for the meeting while I left Nevaeh with my mother since Linda was apparently too careless. I wouldn't have to go through any of this if the girl would just do her job right. I only took her with me because she's Emily's cousin.I made my way to the

Special Chapter: Zephyr's POVEvelyn released a sarcastic laugh before continuing."When did you reject her? You rejected her when you rejected and banished me four years ago because I was probably already pregnant with her but you heartlessly separated me from the only family I had ever known and forced me into the wilderness.My daughter and I would have died if a kind woman hadn't found me, freezing to death in a heavy storm. She took me in and provided me with everything that your petty revenge had stolen away from me, love, care and family. She gave me even more than I had lost and I'll always be grateful to her.When I found out I was pregnant with your child, I was disgusted because I was reminded of how she had been conceived. Your brutality almost made me kill one of the most beautiful things in my life but I managed to stop myself in the nick of time.I didn't want my daughter to be born to a man like you, or have to refer to someone like you as father but the people around

Special Chapter: Zephyr's POV"How old are you?" I asked her once more. "I'm three years old." She answered and everything was quickly starting to come together. I'm almost sure that Evelyn is her mother but then again, it might just be a coincidence, especially since I've not seen the both of them together. I can't just go around hurling accusations without any evidence, especially since Evelyn is currently a guest here. I have to find out the truth no matter what."Now will you help me find my mummy, Mr?" Nevaeh asked, bringing me back to the present."Of course but I need to find out something first. What is your mother's name?" I asked and she said nothing at first, almost as if she was contemplating whether to tell me or not. She finally answered shortly."I'm sorry but I can't tell you. You're a stranger and my mummy says not to tell her name to strangers." Nevaeh said and her words hit me straight in the heart. My own daughter thinks I'm a stranger and I can't do anything about

Special Chapter: Author's POVLinda sat and watched Nevaeh as she slept but the young girl soon grew bored and decided to take a short snack break.She checked and made sure that Nevaeh seemed comfortable before quietly leaving the room.Shortly after, the sleeping child turned around on her side, as she attempted to fully go back to sleep, lightning flashed and thunder struck, instantly waking her up with a scare. Nevaeh quickly sat up and looked around, frightened, her vision was a bit blurry due to sleep but she was still aware of her surroundings.She scratched at her eyes a bit and looked around but she found no one. She called out to her mum and Linda but she got no reply and she became very scared.At the sound of another thunderbolt, Nevaeh practically jumped from the bed and began crying. She walked around the room and even went to the bathroom but she still couldn't find anyone. She kept calling out to her mother but all she could hear was the sound of her own voice and the

I sighed as Linda helped me get ready. I really don't want to go to this party, I don't know why but I have a pretty bad feeling about it. I won't let myself be fooled by him, I'm pretty sure that Zephyr has a motive behind this party but I can't seem to figure out what it is.Even though I don't want to, I have no choice but to go and besides, I want to know what Zephyr has planned for me.She finishes putting my hair in a tight bun and places a tiara on my head."Take it off." I order instantly and she seems stunned for a moment."But why your highness? It suits you perfectly, delicately complimenting your beauty and besides, you're a Princess." She said with a smile and I wanted to play into her innocent mindset but I couldn't. She's ignorant and naive, she has no idea about my past and she certainly doesn't know how much I want to avoid Zephyr and hide the truth of my current life from him."You don't have the right to question me Linda, I said take it off now." I replied harshly
