ARTHUR & MILA Arthur walked back out of the protective circle of the wisdom tree and stepped out in the open. Mila, Rah, Ajax, and Tony were waiting there. What did Osho mean? Arthur wondered. Think not with only your mind or your heart, but with both. If he thought and made his decision with both, he would not go wrong. So, what did his heart want? The answer was simple – Mila. His heart wanted Mila. He loved her incredibly and wanted to spend his eternity with her. But what did his mind want? Now that was an answer that was not simple. He wanted Mila, logic said Mila was the right choice but was it really? She was an enchantress, she was one of a kind, she was a weapon, she was powerful, she was a Daniels – Sharpe, and she was dangerous. “What did Osho tell you?” Mila asked the moment he reached her. Even though he could not see her face, the spark in her eyes said it all. She was very, very curious. “I also do not understand what he said,” Arthur sighed heavily as he lied to
ARTHUR & MILA “You make everything sound so simple,” Arthur laughed. “It is simple, my love,” Mila shrugged. “It is all about trust.” Arthur nodded. “Would you be too offended if I said I want to go and talk to Rah?” Arthur requested. “I would not be offended,” Mila nodded. “But I doubt Rah would be available to talk just yet.” “What do you mean? Where is he?” Arthur asked. “Osho wanted to meet him, remember? I think when Osho wants to meet someone, it takes time,” Mila smiled. “Alright,” and Arthur slumped in a chair and closed his eyes. Seeing his exhaustion, Mila led Arthur to the sleeping chambers and forced him in bed. “You should sleep for a while,” Mila insisted. “But I cannot sleep, my mind is racing with infinite thoughts,” Arthur complained. “I can make you sleep, if you like,” Mila suggested. Arthur who was now lying in the bed, with Mila hovering over him, looked into her beautiful eyes. Eyes that made him forget everything else. He pulled her close and kissed
ARTHUR & MILA Rah whooped with joy at these words. “I knew you would choose her,” Rah was visibly delighted and it made Arthur feel even more happy. He could see true happiness in his eyes and sensed why Osho said that Rah was of true heart and an open mind. “What? Is there something on my face?” Rah asked suddenly as he noticed Arthur’s gaze. “No, you have a smile on your face,” Arthur smirked. “Smile?” Rah was confused. “Of course I will have a smile on my face, my two best friends are getting together, what else can I ask for?” “A lot of things actually,” Arthur grinned, “but you are of true heart, aren’t you?” he mocked joyfully. “That I am,” Rah grinned. “So,” Arthur spoke in a serious mode, “I need to inform father, how to do it?” he wondered. “Is that what you are worried about?” Rah asked, surprised. And then he laughed. “What?” Arthur was taken aback. “Alpha Collins is in favor of your mate, isn’t it? It is Chloe who you need to worry about,” Rah pitched with a lau
ARTHUR & MILA “I am ready,” Mila whispered on Arthur’s lips. “I am ready…” she repeated hoarsely. Arthur pulled back and looked at her face, her beautifully shining face. There was a raw look there, a brazen look that said more than her words. Her blue eyes were filled with desire and he could see the hunger in it. Arthur swallowed as the forthcoming moments sent shivers down his spine. “What’s wrong?” Mila asked, a bit amused by his expressions and a bit confused. “I love you…” he whispered hoarsely as he continued to stare at her face. “Then show me with your body too,” and in one swift motion, she took off the dress she was wearing and now stood in her bra and her pants. Arthur’s eyes flickered down her milky white skin and back to her face. “You are absolutely divine,” Arthur started again, but Mila placed her hand on his lips. “Enough talks, Arthur Collins,” Mila spoke in a sensual tone, “now, it is time to put your body in motion,” and removing her hand from his mouth,
ARTHUR & MILA The next morning when Arthur and Mila woke up, they were in their human form and they felt contented. It was actually Arthur’s thoughts in Mila’s head that made her stir. “Umm… not right now, I am sleeping,” Mila moaned as she adjusted herself on the pillow. “What did I say?” Arthur asked, amazed. He was grinning and his smile was audible in his voice. “Just what you want to do to me,” Mila smiled in her sleep too. “I am tired, very tired.” “Just after one round?” Arthur wondered. “Not just one round, Grace’s body is mine too, isn’t it?” Mila yawned. “Wake up,” Arthur ordered. “Just open your eyes.” With grave difficulty and silent pleas to sleep more, Mila did the needful as she thought that maybe she would sleep early that night. “No, I would not let you sleep early ever,” Arthur spoke, but not in words but in his mind. Mila’s sleep vanished. She narrowed her eyes and stared at him thinking, “Am I hearing your thoughts?” “I think you are,” Arthur thought to
ARTHUR & MILA“I don’t want to go back alone,” Arthur spoke in the evening when they found in themselves to speak.The beauty of true and new love was the passion and desire for one another. Every moment, every ounce of strength that Arthur and Mila had, they spent wrapped around each other. And when they slept, well, Grace and Bash indulged in carnal pleasures.Their bond was now very strong, stronger than they had anticipated. They were not just listening to each other’s thoughts all the time, they were also sensing their moods. The intention also was coming through to them without any effort.“Why would you go alone?” Mila asked seriously.“Would you come with me?” Arthur asked excitedly. “I think I need to introduce you to father now. He needs to meet my mate and sever ties with Chloe.”“Okay,” Mila nodded.But as Arthur’s thoughts moved to the issues Chloe’s family would raise and the potential of war, Mila placed her head on his shoulder.“You don’t need to fear war, Arthur,” Mi
ARTHUR & MILA Later that evening Mila and Arthur met with Osho to discuss the path ahead. “I see radiance,” Osho smiled as he saw Mila’s face. “I see your happiness and that, in turn, makes me very happy, Mila - Sharpe - Daniels - Collins,” and he smiled genuinely. “She soon with be a Collins,” Arthur beamed too. “Soon is yet to pass, Arthur Collins. Many incredible challenges lay ahead of you both, so, that future, though not uncertain, is yet unforeseeable,” Osho replied and both Arthur and Mila looked at each other, confused. “What kind of many incredible challenges?” Arthur asked tentatively. “You will see as they will come to pass, Arthur Collins,” Osho shook his head. “What is it you both wanted to know when you came to see me?” he asked. Mila and Arthur hesitated. “We need to go and declare that we are mates back in Collins kingdom,” Arthur spoke. “To my
ARTHUR & MILA “Father!” Arthur exclaimed, feeling appalled. “When you are of my age, you will understand. This filth,” he spat at the floor, “woman nothing more than a beggar, can never be your queen!” It was perhaps the repetition of the words ‘filth’ and ‘beggar’ that triggered Arthur, as he said, “Mila is a werewolf, father, like us. She is an alpha already. She is ruling the former Keats kingdom, and very successfully. She is,” he inhaled heavily, “of a pure bloodline. Of a powerful ancestry, and is a true alpha!” His father took a step back at these words. “True alpha?” his father whispered in shock. “Which clan does she belong to? And if she is a wolf, an alpha already, why was she living in that filthy hut?” his father demanded. “Mila show him,” Arthur ordered and Mila understood what he was asking. She hid her hand behind her back, took off gloves from one hand
FIFTEEN YEARS LATER “Oh, no… not again,” someone thumped the door. “Mom… dad… you are causing thunder again. What are you even doing?” Mila, who was pinned under Arthur, and was crying loudly as Arthur pounded himself hard inside her, bringing her to the precipice of bliss, did not respond. “Control yourself,” Arthur scolded Mila as he continued to move inside her. “I am about to come,” Mila cried. “Come for me, love,” Arthur too closed his eyes and moved violently, and Mila knew he too was about to find his release. “Mom… dad…” the pounding continued. “Don’t stop!” Mila cried, as her body quivered and Arthur felt her spasm as her orgasm hit her with full force. Arthur moved a few more times and fell on top of her. He knew Mila had climaxed, just went he did too. “When would you learn to not lose it,” Arthur scolded her as he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked up to the door. He removed the cushioning charm from the door and walls – which made the room sound proof – a
ARTHUR & MILAOnce Mila and Arthur were sure about the terms of the alliance, they called for the alphas - Canon Lapiz, David Keplins and Motif Rivera. David and Motif signed without even reading, well, they were under the control of Mila fully. But Canon read through the document and discussed every point in detail. Canon was not worried about his son, he knew that if Canon would survive these terms, his son, Martin Lapiz – fated mate of Chloe – would also survive the terms.“By the way,” Canon grinned as he signed, “this is very one sided. No where it is mentioned what kind of protection you would offer?”“I think she saved your kingdom from Shana, that is enough,” Arthur spoke gruffly.“She is yet to save us fully. Shana’s men are horrible, why else was able to control everything!” Canon pointed.Mila nodded and willed Shana to call for all her men from across the kingdom while Mila visited the dungeons where Canon wants the men to be held.“You have a roomy dungeon,” Mila sighed a
ARTHUR & MILA“Help me, and I swear my fealty to you, Mila – Daniels – Sharpe – Collins. Lapiz kingdom is yours,” Canon Lapiz’s voice boomed in the halls.“Eh!” Arthur spoke as he looked around, “Looks like you have some renovating to do,” he laughed.“With pleasure, Arthur,” and Canon extended a hand.Arthur did not take it though. He looked down at Mila and asked, “Are you okay?”Mila rubbed her neck and twisted it to gain some movement. “Wow! That collar is horrible. It was like I can register everything, think what to do, but then puff, the thoughts would erase from my mind.”“Whoever created this –” Arthur started.“Must be very stupid,” Mila nodded as she looked for the collar, but Rah was holding it.“I will keep it safe until you decide what to do with it,” Rah assured.Arthur and Mila nodded in unison.“Chloe, go back to your room and take your mate with you,” Arthur ordered. “David, you should go with her and discuss what you both want to do. We will support you in whatever
ARTHUR“And where are all the girls of your kingdom,” Mila demanded finally.Shana looked at Mila and without even blinking, without even taking her eyes off Mila, Shana jerked her head. Before anyone could react or even comprehend what had happened, a few men appeared at all sides, Arthur, Motif, David tried to fight them but they were suddenly overpowered, and a collar had been placed on Mila’s throat and her mouth was gagged and her arms were bound.“Enchantress,” Shana laughed as Mila’s eyes glazed over and her knees buckled. As Mila fell to the floor, Shana whooped with joy and literally jumped on her heels, clapping merrily. “A were enchantress,” she added as she walked up to Mila.Arthur tried to fight off the men but couldn’t. He felt ashamed. He was ambushed and he could not fight. His whole attention was at Mila and the anger that was rolling off her had him fully distracted.Now he was forced to submit because not one, but four men had spears pointed at Mila, and though he
ARTHUR & MILA “How would we know if it is time to go back,” Arthur asked as he twirled Mila’s red hair in between his fingers. “We cannot know here,” she laughed as she lay back in bed and stared up the sky. The peace and quiet of the moor was impeccable. “Oh, I could live here forever,” she groaned as she got up to get dressed. “Me too, I know you have your responsibility but I am sick and tired of worrying about others. I sometimes feel that I just want to worry about myself and my loved ones, that’s it. No people, no clan, no kingdom, just you, me and my father…” Arthur spoke as he didn’t even bother moving. “Where is it coming from?” Mila asked surprised. “You love your people,” she added. “You literally disowned me for your people.” “And I cannot apologize enough for that lapse of judgment,” Arthur spoke earnestly and Mila knew he meant it. “What changed,” Mila shook her head. “Why do you want to shirk your responsibilities now?” “Maybe it is because of my recent death expe
ARTHUR & MILA Arthur’s smile was the only thing that Mila needed to breathe properly. “Oh, Arthur,” Mila cried as she fell to his side and kissed him on his lips. “I love you,” Arthur spoke to Mila, “I love you so damn much!” Mila blinked as she pulled back. “Are you talking to me in my head?” Mila thought as she stared at Arthur. “I guess I am,” Arthur grinned broadly. “So, our minds are linked again!” Mila felt embarrassed as a very naughty image flashed in front of her eyes. “Yes, because I just saw that,” Arthur grinned as he sat back. Rah rushed to assist Arthur, but Arthur did not need any help. “How do you feel?” Rah asked Arthur seriously. Arthur stood up and spoke, “Different but quite good.” And he smiled. Mila’s heart swelled with happiness as she saw Arthur well and happy. Arthur stared at her with same affection. “Umm, why do I sense I am missing out on something,” Rah spoke tentatively as he stared at the pair. “Nothing,” Arthur grinned. “Tell me everythi
MILA Arthur’s eyes flicked open but they were blank. “Arthur,” Mila cried in shocked surprise and withdrew her hands from both Arthur’s body and the wisdom tree. At once, Arthur’s body – which was levitating in the air – fell back to the ground with a thud and his eyes closed again. “What just happened?” Raul Collins demanded as he rushed close to his head and touched Arthur’s face. “He is not awake, Mila, he is not awake.” “But why is still glowing?” Rah asked in alarm. Because Arthur’s entire body was still glowing a bright burning torch. “I don’t know,” Mila spoke, feeling scared now. “Osho, what is happening?” she looked at Osho in alarm. Osho too was looking shocked. It was as if something new for him too. And these expressions scared Mila more than anything else. “What is happening, Osho?” Mila demanded. “I don’t know, my queen,” Osho muttered. “But you are all knowing, you have seen the past, the present and the future,” Mila spoke in shock, “How do you not know!” Os
MILA “Can I go and visit Arthur?” Rah asked Mila tentatively. She was literally dragging her feet as he walked back to the kingdom. Mila nodded. “Where is he?” Rah asked expectantly. And without any explanation or answer, Mila slashed the air with her hand and they saw Arthur lying unconscious on his bed. “Son,” Raul Collins cried as he crossed the portal and hurried to his bed. Rah and Ajax followed. Mila started at Arthur’s limp form for a moment, then followed. As the portal closed behind her, she stared around. “Arthur, wake up son,” Raul Collins shook Arthur but it made no change in his condition. “He does not look hurt,” Ajax spoke softly. “Not superficially,” Mila spoke, stony faced. “I healed his wounds and cuts that Motif made, but I am unable to wake him up.” “Why is it?” Rah asked. “You can cure almost anything, why is it you cannot heal him?” “I don’t know,” Mila sniffed. It seemed like her entire being was dying with Arthur. “You must be devastated on the insid
MILA “Mila,” Rah spoke warningly. “War is not the answer to the problems!” “They all accompanied him here, didn’t they?” Mila roared. “They all jeer when he kills.” “Look at them, Mila, look at them,” Rah spoke imploringly. “Why don’t you check with them, if they really are loyal to Motif. You are supposed to unite all nine kingdoms, you are supposed to be their queen. Your first act cannot be annihilating them all.” “Mila,” Raul Collins spoke with a sad sigh. “Rah is right.” Mila glared up at Motif and though he was unconscious, he twitched mid air. “Incendi,” Mila whispered. “NOOOOO!” Rah screamed as he saw Motif’s flesh catch fire. Suddenly Motif was awake and was writhing and wailing in pain. Everyone retreated as flecks of fire rained down on them. Even Mila’s shirt caught fire but she did not wince. She was feeling the savage pleasure hearing Motif’s screams. “Mila, no!” Raul Collins spoke softly. “You are not a killer, Mila. Don’t go there. Arthur does not want you to
