Ayla's agony begins to resonate inside my chest, and I'm sure Soren is feeling it too, but I know it's not Ghost's fault, not in the way Soren thinks it is. I take several deep breaths as the minutes pass and the pain begins to dissipate, and finally, Ayla's eyes come back into focus.
I see my mate hug Soren as if her life depended on it.
"Are you all right?" She starts to ask while checking to see if Soren is hurt. "Did something happen? Say everything's fine!"
I see Soren swallow dry, and his guilt spreads.
"I'm fine, Ayla... Everything's fine! Nothing happened!" Soren answered each question calmly.
Ayla finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soren POVAs soon as Victor closed the door, Ayla turned to me, glued her lips to mine and the world just seemed to fall into place, nothing else mattered. God! How I've missed this, having her in my arms.I let out a hoarse moan, bringing my left hand to the nape of her neck, burying my fingers there, while I put my other hand inside her blouse. Her skin is smooth and very soft.Ayla opens her lips and our tongues begin to intertwine. She tastes wonderful, and she reciprocates by moving her waist against my leg, teasing me even more as the scent of her arousal begins to permeate the air.I closed my fingers around the back of her neck, grabbing her hair and squeezing with a certain amount of force, and I heard her moan of pleasure, longer, hoarser and muff
A Slave to the Kings Solution
Victor POVI go to the closet, get a shirt for Ayla, and as soon as I return, I hear the sound of knocking on the door."Come in," I said.It didn't take long for Ishtar to enter pushing a trolley with several trays. I know this isn't her job, but I'm very happy to have her as an ally and friend. I see her looking at Ayla intensely, my mate is pale, and her heart is barely beating, her skin is very cold, but it's not the same as Heat, it's just a side effect of the vampiric aura."Hey, I've brought some food that should help balance out her energy," Ishtar said.I got up and grabbed the trolley, bringing it to the table and pulling the lids off the trays. I saw that there was a lot of rare meat, and the smell at
A Slave to the Kings Diplomacy
Ayla POVI listened to the whole report and was overwhelmed by so much that happened, but I'm glad that Ghost finally managed to redeem himself. I don't miss Klaus, I'm glad he was punished and that's it.My conversation with Skyler was quick, and I know she's sad because her new position prevents her from getting close to Sebastian and, as far as I understand it, they'll never be able to be together. That saddens me because I know they love each other.Right now I'm in the great hall, looking at the thrones, there are three of them, all the same size, with the same appearance. Soren explained that when I choose my seat, each throne will change to reflect our tastes and personalities.I sighed, because it's something I have to figure out, my mind always see
A Slave to the Kings The first step to redemption
Ayla POVOnce again Ghost surprises me and shows how much better he is than Klaus, he's respectful of what Soren and Victor represent and doesn't try to fight them, even after they've revealed so much to me, but he also keeps an emotional distance from them, completely professional.Doing a ceremony like this would mean taking me further away from him, yet he didn't hold back and made this suggestion."Later, we'll call a meeting with all the Heads of Houses and discuss this suggestion," Victor said, approaching me.Ghost bowed once more, gave me one last look, and walked out of the hall."Are you all right?" Soren asked, standing in front of me."Better than before,
A Slave to the Kings Skyler and Sebastian
Ayla POVSoren put me to bed and I closed my eyes, feeling good to be in a cozier environment and with the smell of Soren and Victor everywhere."How about you take a nap until the food arrives? Then we can talk about what you wanted in the lounge." Soren suggested, stroking my cheek gently.I nodded, because that's what I needed, even though the potion had helped, I was still slightly drowsy. I closed my eyes and heard Soren begin to sing softly, and it didn't take long for sleep to take over....I opened my eyes with some difficulty, yawning, and felt the presence of Soren and Victor next to me; they had changed my clothes into a simple black silk nightgown. I looked up at the ceiling, knowing that it was alr
A Slave to the Kings Shopping
Ayla POVAs soon as we left the room, Victor and Soren informed me that they needed to sort out some things regarding diplomacy with the other Kingdoms. They asked me if I wanted to take part in the meeting with House leaders, but I refused, I don't feel comfortable doing that.When we got to the first floor, I saw Ghost standing there, wearing a simple black suit, with his hands in his pockets. Victor and Soren gave me a quick kiss and left me with the Lycan.Although I feel comfortable with him, I'm still not sure if I want to get so close, even though my aura is stabilizing. I know that a lot of the things I've been through with Soren have helped us to get over them, whether it was Victor or Ishtar... But accepting Ghost is so strange."What do you
A Slave to the Kings Fulfilling the obligation
Ghost POVAyla... It's pretty much the only thing on my mind since I heard she'd woken up and wasn't well. I don't have much power to create potions or anything like that, my power is quite different, but that didn't mean I could let Ayla continue as she was.Not so much for Soren or Victor, but for her... I'd already let her down several times, I couldn't fail her again, so I locked myself in my library, looking for a way to cure her.After a few days, I found a potion made with Selene's Tears that could help, and it took me a while to perfect it, it drained a lot of my energy to create such a thing.From what Ishtar told me, what's missing is a part of Ayla's soul that may have been dead or trapped in some strange dimension. We'd gotten close while she wa
A Slave to the Kings Restaurant
Soren POVI was surprised to hear Ghost's voice in my mind. It's extremely difficult for him to do that, but it was a nice surprise. Surely Ayla must have bought something, an outfit, that's something my mate loves.Her style is very social and elegant, I've always been impressed when she chooses, the way the colors and fabrics match. I never knew she studied to do such a thing, which makes it a natural skill.Victor glances at me, noticing that I'm distracted from the meeting, and sighs."Well, we don't have much more to decide, first thing is to send the emails requesting an online meeting with the ambassadors who are still in our territory," I said, summarizing everything. "As soon as you have the date, let me and Victor know, so we can plan ahead."

A Slave to the Kings Wedding 2
Ayla POVEvery step I take away from the imperial bedroom, my heart races, this is a dream come true, and I still can't believe it's really happening. A part of me is afraid that it's all just a dream and that I'll end up waking up on the cold floor of Julian's pack.The aisles are full of flowers that are typical of spring, as this was the first thing I decided, that the theme of the wedding would be the season when most flowers bloom.In addition, of course, to having the flowers from each of the houses, even those that bloom at specific times... Ishtar had already helped me with this, making sure they were all bright and at their peak.I stop at the window to see how happy everyone is, with the music echoing even as high as I am. Most of them are my subj
A Slave to the Kings Wedding 1
Ayla POVThe days passed in the blink of an eye, even though I felt weaker with each passing day, as the amount of auras weighed heavily on my shoulders.The potions that fairies give me are very strong and every time I take them I end up sleeping for the whole period, so I started taking them every morning, as soon as I woke up, because it added to the strength that Ghost was feeding me.It was only because of this that I was able to spend the afternoon and part of the evening with my guests and so many races had arrived, the Castle was lit up with so much happiness and so much diversity.Gradually, everyone got on board with the theme of the wedding, "Spring". The flowers have been hand-picked because they symbolize what we are, there are all the flowers
A Slave to the Kings Drastic changes
Victor POVSeeing Ayla interact with the rulers of the Faerie Kingdom is history in the making, and I'm sure the other Kingdoms will be more afraid of how gigantic our Kingdom is becoming.The alliance with the Kingdom of the Fairies is something very unexpected, as well as important because their magic is just as powerful as that of the Kingdom of the Wizards and the Witches. It means that in this war we are taking several more steps towards victory.These revelations add to what Ghost has told us. Of course, we're not happy to know that others can see how our bond is doing and that worries me because when the Kingdom of the Wizards and the Witches arrive, it will be very clear and that will make us targets for attacks.My mate's sadness resonates in my ch
A Slave to the Kings A new friendship
Ayla POVI could feel something different as I approached the Hall of Thrones and when we entered it became clearer why there was music in the air, something like what I've heard in some Soul stones, but this one is different.There are so many different voices and I don't understand what they're saying, but I don't need to, because I can feel the emotions they want to convey and as I looked at the Rulers it became clearer that the music came from them and was made for them.The pain is hidden behind happy, fast notes, with a lively beat that the other fairies follow instinctively, and it's almost impossible to perceive the undertones of sadness and melancholy.The voices want to cheer up their Rulers after a sad event, and I can connect with that because I
A Slave to the Kings Recognition
Victor POVI let my aura flow towards Soren so that he calms down because Ghost is right and Soren hates it when he's challenged. No matter who it was."You're right, Ghost," I said before Soren could say anything. "We really need to decide on the next in command. A lot of decisions have been put on the back burner by all the situations we've been through."Ayla is feeling guilty because she knows that Ghost only did what we asked, and she thinks she could have done more to help him."But this isn't the place for something like that. I'll arrange a meeting in the afternoon with the Heads of Houses and also with the leaders of the strongest Packs in your Kingdom." I continued speaking.Ghost looked at Ayla intens
A Slave to the Kings Titles and Succession
Ayla POVI wake up and realize immediately that I'm not in the imperial bedroom and the smell of Ghost is everywhere, enveloping me and my heart squeezes because I had hoped this wouldn't have to happen and I couldn't hold back the silent tears that started to flow.I'm feeling so miserable, simply because I'm not strong enough to regenerate on my own. Then I feel a blanket being placed over me, the smell of Soren and Victor is there, and at the same moment, I feel better.It's as if I had betrayed my mates before, but now it's as if they are embracing me and understanding the situation. In parts, I can't believe I have such good and understanding mates.I lay there for a few more minutes before getting up and looking around; the room has a medieval style a
A Slave to the Kings Elves and Dwarves
Ayla POVThe days have passed and more and more I feel my body aching and hurting when I take the potions, but at least I'm managing to withstand the auras of the various types of creatures and beings that are arriving to take part in the wedding.Of course, I don't meet all of them, just the most important ones for now and always in the Hall of Thrones, because there I feel much stronger, and I'm not so affected by the auras.Of course, I'm sleeping more and so the surrounding security has doubled. I always have a few soldiers around me when Victor and Soren aren't around. Even with Ghost present, everyone agreed that this extra security would be better.I didn't pass out in any of the encounters, but I was always drained at the end of them. This shows how
A Slave to the Kings Fang
Ayla POVThe meeting to choose the flowers was kind of fun, as there are many types and many ways to create bouquets, and it was a bit difficult to choose the ones that made the most sense for the wedding.Of course, there can't be too many magical flowers, as that would add more weight to my aura and probably hurt me more, so I decided on just two flowers around the Castle that mean many things, the Smeraldo and Selene's Tears, even though we have few Tears, it's still an important flower.The two flowers will even make up part of my bouquet, and it's going to be beautiful, I never thought my life would change so much. After all, I was a mere slave, with no prospect of anything but dying.Living only to serve others, without ever uttering a sound or a word
A Slave to the Kings Solution
Soren POVThe meeting with the Heads of House was extremely boring, one of the few things I hate about being Emperor, as these meetings can often go on for days, as each one wants to be better than the other and have the upper hand.Although each House had its function within the Kingdom, the Heads always wanted to have a greater influence. Even more so with Skyler's problem, I need to put someone else in charge of the House of Poppies, but the person I choose will be my third-in-command.For a while now, I've been thinking about putting Ghost as my third-in-command and choosing another leader for the House of Poppies, but the problem is that this is going to cause some strife among my subjects, whether they're Heads of House or not.I know the Lycan race w
