The Thing POV

"Hey," Soren spoke, and I turned my attention to him. "This is Victor." He pointed to my owner. "This is James, he's the head of the armed forces."

I could see that he was a vampire with short black hair and dark brown eyes, his skin was also a touch darker and not as white as the others.

"These are Lilian and Lily." He points to the women. "They are part of my guard and help organize events within my domains."

I wasn't mistaken, they have the position that would be Luna's in the pack... No Luna would appreciate being replaced by a slave. I just turn to each one, looking carefully to memorize their names and their positions.

"It's nice to meet you!" James says. "My King has been after you for so long, we've even been through the lands of Avalon and beyond." He seems genuinely excited to meet me, but when he notices that I don't react, he raises his eyebrows and looks at Soren.

"She still has a lot to learn," Soren replies and shakes my hand briefly. "That's why I want to

    The Thing POV"Yes, she has..." Soren replies, still irritated, putting his arm around my waist. "I can feel her emotions, even if she doesn't show them physically. Since we haven't had sex yet, I can't read her thoughts, but I can feel them... Sometimes, when they're stronger, I can hear a whisper."Ishtar raises her eyebrows at me, assessing whether Soren's words are real.'Interesting.' I thought, "So that means Klaus was only able to read my thoughts because we had sex.Something I won't be able to deny when Soren wants to have sex with me, which saddens me, knowing that not even my mind will be mine alone. Maybe now is the time for me to perform the rejection ritual, so he can't manipulate the link against me."She wants to reject you," Ishtar says, and Soren tightens his grip on my waist a little more."She was a slave..." Victor speaks before Soren can. "As far as I understand it, Klaus was an asshole, he got her hopes up by saying he was going to free her, or by implying it, o

  • A Slave to the Kings   Resistance

    The Thing POVSoren moved his hand away from my face but held my hand, and I turned to look at Ishtar."Give me your hands." She asked.Soren raised the hand that was holding mine and Ishtar then ran a golden thread around our wrists. I started to feel a different pressure on my skin and I didn't like it. I swallowed to stop myself from taking my hand away and this made Soren look at me, raising her eyebrows, then the woman began to recite words that I couldn't understand, but the surrounding air began to change, and a slight grayish glow began to appear.Soren's hand starts to tremble and so does mine, and I start to see this glow coming towards us, enveloping our bodies. I've never felt such strong magic, but my contacts have been few, apart from the healing potion I've taken, but when the glow gets close to my chest I feel as if I've been shocked and then the glow disappears completely and Ishtar pulls her hand away from us, while the thread breaks into several pieces. I can see bl

  • A Slave to the Kings   Future plans

    Soren POVI thought finding my other half would be the most magnificent day ever until I went to the Ball and saw that my mate was a slave, that her eyes only saw my rival.Her scent is like a field full of flowers that have just opened in the middle of spring. I could see her silhouette walking through the field, her laughter seems to echo while I can see the surrounding happiness...But as soon as I focused my gaze, I saw her black hair falling in curls, her head lowered, her body covered with scars and exposed to anyone, and the smell of Klaus on her skin almost drove me mad.Strïth (War), my spiritual side wanted to start a fight there, how dare they treat the future Queen of the Vampires like that? I managed to convince him to calm down and that first we had to get her out of that place, it was the only way to guarantee her safety.Very carefully, I explained to Victor what had happened and how he could help me, and then Klaus came up with the idea of the auction and asked if we

  • A Slave to the Kings   A strange behavior

    Soren POVIt was a few hours before Ayla finished taking the tests, at first she was learning how the app worked, and she also didn't read things so quickly often. She would just stare at the question for several minutes before answering, and they weren't math questions, but basic logic or text interpretation questions.When she finally finished and handed the tablet to Victor, he opened the statistics and Ayla has the same education as a child, she can read and write, she understands some things and can even do some basic math, but that's about it... She even did a little better when it came to simple text interpretation.This means she has a lot to learn and not only that, I'm going to have to hire special tutors for her. I'm pretty good at governing, but having to explain things like this isn't my strong suit."Great!" Victor said excitedly, much more excitedly than I'd expected. "With this here, I'll be able to help you better and get the right people to teach you."Ayla didn't sh

  • A Slave to the Kings   Choosing

    Soren POV"Well, we know which stone she tuned." Ishtar comments. I try to clean Ayla's ear, but I realize it won't stop bleeding."Get us out of here," I say, and Ishtar looks at me instead."You need to tune your stone..." The sorceress spoke, and I felt Strïth wanted to take over. "Let me hold Ayla." She moved closer.Strïth held Ayla's body tighter."If you don't choose a soul stone now, you'll miss your chance! She's already attuned to hers, you need to find one that's compatible with you and her!" Ishtar said in exasperation. "The longer you delay, the more she'll get hurt."Ishtar then holds out the stone that Ayla had picked up for me. I look at Victor, who approaches and then takes my mate in his arms. The smell of her blood is becoming more intense, and Strïth is becoming more and more uncontrollable. I grab Ishtar's stone and immediately feel my hand burn and let out a grunt of pain, but I look around, hoping to be attracted to something else. Ayla's blood is a problem, as

  • A Slave to the Kings   Bracelets

    Soren POVAyla hadn't progressed at all, even though Victor and I had told her several times that she could do things without our permission, she still only did what we told her to.The only evolution was in her reading, she is much better now and reading slightly more complex books, but I think she's making an effort, not because she wants to, but because it's expected of her and that perhaps she'll be punished if she doesn't. Her feelings are distant, and it's hard to understand why she doesn't want to.Her feelings are distant, and it's very difficult for me to connect, it seems that with Strïth asleep it's even worse. Now we're in the living room, Ayla is on her tablet, reading one of the books Victor has chosen, while he and I are playing chess.I feel the air change and become a little heavier and Ishtar appears, with a tired expression but a smile on her face and a little wooden box in her hands. I know all this is going to cost a lot, but it'll be worth it, it has to."That's

  • A Slave to the Kings   Trial

    Soren POVThe drive back to the castle was practically silent, except for the music Victor was playing. Ayla kept playing on her tablet the whole time, and when I realized she had finished reading something, she would switch to something else.We had to stop at a few places to eat, but usually, Victor would go out and get the food and bring it back to the car so that Ayla could exercise with us for 10 to 15 minutes and ask her to do some exercises.The journey took almost a whole day, which for Victor and me is nothing, but just uncomfortable being in a car, even if it is spacious. I can feel the air of the capital, and it cheers me up at the same time as it worries me. As soon as the castle gates open, I can already see people trying to look into the car and I hear people greeting me mentally.As soon as we arrive, Victor tries to clear the way, saying that we're tired from the trip and that we want to rest, but soon my eyes fall on Lilian and Lily, both of whom are wearing very reve

  • A Slave to the Kings   Verdict

    Soren POV "Tell me honestly, did you want this?" I asked the girlShe swallowed dryly, and I held her chin, forcing our eyes to meet, and then I invaded her mind, she didn't show any resistance and just let me in and what I saw didn't please me, at first she liked Bryan because he was elegant and always attentive to her, but then he started to distance her from other men, fighting when she interacted with other people, he didn't use physical force, but the words of abuse were enough to make my anger almost get out of control. The fear she felt thinking that if she told the truth, no one would believe her and how he only did it in private places, with no one to see...Of course, humans don't know the extent of our powers, even living in the castle, and not all vampires can do what I did, but if she spoke to any of the officers, someone would surely have read her mind.I already had little patience when something like this happened, now that I have Ayla and I know that she was a slave,

    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

    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

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
