Soren POV
I pull my hand away and hear the "ploc" my finger makes as it leaves Ayla's wet lips. I slide the tip of my index finger along the contour of her face, reaching her chin, and I push up slightly, and she lifts a little more.
"Open your lips," I ordered and watched her obey without thinking.
I feel a small twinge of guilt, after all, we haven't talked about this yet and I don't want to do anything that might trigger her.
I hold my cock in my other hand and bring the head close to her lips, but I just rub it around, smearing it with pre-cum. I see Ayla tremble slightly, holding back from licking me.
"You can taste it," I said and pulled my sex away from her lips, watching her use her tongue to lick up the
Ayla POVI woke up scared, my body was aching, but it was unlike anything I'd ever felt, I could feel my heart beating, but it was heavier, more intense.Then I feel two arms holding me and I focus my gaze, trying to understand what's happening, and part of me panics."Ayla! Take a deep breath." I heard Soren's voice and blinked a few times, seeing his face for the first time.I start to do as he asks and my breathing slows down, as does the weight on my body, and a wave of relief takes over."That's it, little by little... It's me, Soren." His voice is softer, more melodious. Something I've noticed he always uses when he wants to calm me down."What happened?" I ask
Ayla POV"Ayla, do you know what happened?" Ishtar asked me, curious."Um... Not exactly... I kept talking, but it's not like I was listening, I just knew what to say... It was only at the end that I heard some whispers, but it wasn't loud enough for me to understand what was being said, but they were conversations." I answered exactly what I felt and how it happened."And you Soren, what did you feel?" Ishtar asked, and I turned my face to look at Soren."The shadows, which usually obey me, were agitated, in conflict with something in the bracelets. I even heard some altered voices, arguing, but I don't know what was said and then when Ayla stopped her hand, the voices diminished, until they stopped for good." Soren answered and looked at me.
Soren POVKeeping Ayla away from the Kingdom of the Wizards won't be that difficult, at least as far as I know, even though they're placing runes in specific places in the castle. During the two days that Ayla was resting, Victor, Ishtar and I went through the castle with a spell to identify magic and discovered four runes near the entrances to the imperial wing, which is where I stay, along with Victor and James.This obviously alerted the enemy and Ishtar said that there were probably more runes, but that they might have been deactivated since she couldn't locate the source of who had created the runes.At least for now, the wing we're in is free of outside magic, only mine and Ishtar's are here. It's not as if I can do much, but I do have a few magical tricks up my sleeve, I'm too old not to be able
Ayla POVAs soon as I drank the blood I could hear Soren's heart beating, not only that, but I could see the vein pulsing in his neck and a strange sensation passed through my mouth, my gums were itching and I shuddered. I took several deep breaths to control myself, but finally, I stopped listening to his heart.As soon as we leave, Victor and Ishtar are outside."I have some things to sort out, my love," Soren said and kissed me on the forehead.I nodded in agreement, and then he turned away and headed down a corridor to the elevator."I've prepared one of the offices for us to do this," Victor explained. I nodded."Your aura is stronger," Ishtar said. "Are you dri
Soren POVAyla is asleep while Victor and I are sitting at the table, each with a tablet in hand. James' reports are not promising, tensions near the border of the Kingdom of the Wizards are rising.Several conflicts have arisen and James is trying to sort things out, only James is much more of an action guy than a diplomat... I know I need to send someone to help him."Victor... What do you think I should do?" I asked, hoping for an honest answer."You could send Charlotte, so she can try to resolve the issue as diplomatically as possible. She's always been a good candidate for this kind of conflict." Victor replied and sighed."The problem is that we don't know if we can trust the leaders of the Houses." I poi
Ayla POVI woke up in Soren's arms and leaned a little closer to him, taking in his scent and loving it."Good morning, beautiful," Soren said, his voice husky, and I let out a low moan.Does he know what he's doing to me? That alone made me shiver and want more.Soren gave a low laugh."Excited, are you?" He asked and I lifted my head to confirm.I can feel his hand running up the side of my body and I can already feel my body heating up, I let out another low moan, just to tease him and I see his eyes getting darker."Ayla..." Soren whispered my name and brought his lips close to mine, without looking away. "If you only
Soren POVWe finished breakfast and I gave Ayla a soft kiss on the lips."Have a nice day, my love," I said, and Ayla smiled."You too." She then opened the door.Victor soon followed.I quickly went towards the room Victor had indicated earlier and saw Ishtar leaning against the door, fiddling with her cell phone, and then I looked away from her to see Charlotte appearing in the corridor on the other side. She was expecting something like this, I could see it in her expression.I opened the door for her to pass through and saw the symbols glowing, and soon three wires were coming out of the center of her chest, one black, which linked her to me, one yellowish with a
Soren POVCharlotte stood up, finished cleaning her ears, and then looked at me one last time before bowing and leaving the room.Ishtar is staring at me intently."Strïth, you're full of tricks." I heard the female voice echo.Strïth shrugged, without answering."Are you all right?" I asked. "Aren't you too tired?" I asked."A little, you all have very strong auras," Ishtar replied, taking a flask from her pocket and drinking it, and I saw her energy improve. A simple healing potion. "But we can move on."I nodded and walked towards the door and opened it. Isaac was standing there, with the same expressio
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
