"A witch," Mila repeated as Rah just stared at her in agony."Ow... this hurts," Rah cried in pain."Sana," Mila muttered as she caressed the spot of burn."What did you do?" Rah spoke, as he touched his face. "The pain is gone.""I healed your face," Mila smiled. "But you have a scar.""What?" Rah blanched."Vim extermina," Mila continued, "there, the scar is gone.""Really?" Rah couldn't believe it."I don't have a mirror, else I would have shown you," Mila laughed."Prove it," and Rah lifted his pants and showed Mila a big, ugly scar on his shins. "I got burnt some time ago. Prove it.""How would you explain its disappearance?" Mila asked sharply."No one knows it is here. My dad did, but he is long dead. And I have not yet taken my pants down for --" he paused and looked embarrassed. "This scar... it runs up to my..." and he paused again. "Can you remove it?""It is an old injury, it will take time to heal," Mila spoke as she studied his leg. "How did you get this," she asked as s
ARTHUR"What is the matter, sire?" someone called from behind and Arthur felt he had just come out of a trance."Nothing," Arthur heaved a sigh and saw it was Habath, one of the commanding officers of his troop."Is this not how you wished to spend your 'Happy Eighteenth?'" Habath laughed and Arthur screwed up his nose to stop himself from cursing him. Of course, this was not the way a man desired to celebrate his birthday."Chloe would be fine, sire," Merle spoke from beside Habath. Merle was another officer in his troop.It took a moment for Arthur to realize what he meant. Oh yes, Chloe was injured, gravely injured for that matter, but it was not what was bothering Arthur, not that he was going tell him men that!"Happy Eighteenth, Sire," Tony added. "I missed greeting you before.""Quite a few misses these days, eh Tony?" Habath mocked. Tony ignored him.They had just set out for Arthur's quest at midnight on the day of his birthday. He had been planning to go down to Mila's hut r
They were galloping at a steady pace and Sebastian was ranting non-stop. It had been two hours and Arthur couldn't ignore it even if he tried to, there was no other distraction. "Oh, you have not spent enough time with Mila to have fond memories to block me!" Sebastian snapped as Arthur tried to remember the morning he had spent outside her hut."Oh, shut up," Arthur growled."But you have enough with Chloe," Sebastian continued. "Her pale white skin, her body, her curves...""Will you please shut up!" Arthur growled furiously."You could not have waited to see who was drawing me, you could not have waited to check what was so important in Collins Pack. You had to declare Chloe as your mate!" Sebastian continued."You know very well why I did that, alright," Arthur spat."Oh, I know... to put your dick in someone..." Sebastian was raging too."What the hell," Arthur snapped. "YOU KNOW VERY WELL -" he shouted, but his shouts were drowned as a deadly scream penetrated the otherwise sil
MILAMila's heart has never thudded so wildly as it did at the moment. No, it was not because she had just saved Arthur's life by killing at least ten men, but because of the way he was looking at her.What was he thinking? Mila wondered as rain fell heavily around them. She took back her hands from his grip and wiped her face. He took another step back as the final marks of black mud - the one she always used to cover her face - washed away.Was he enchanted too? Or was he immune like Rah? Mila had to test."Arthur," Mila spoke, "sit down."Arthur looked confused. He stared at their surroundings, then stared at her. "Wet, isn't it? Why would I sit down?" he asked, puzzled."Because," Mila stressed, "I want you to sit down!"Arthur looked at her, "Umm... that's a weird ask but okay!" and he bent on his knees and sat on his heels.Mila's heart gave up. She too fell to the floor, tears mixing with rain drops. Arthur was not immune, it meant he was not... not..."Hey," Arthur spoke as he
ARTHUR"She is the one," Sebastian purred. "Where was she for so long?"Arthur pulled back and saw her face. Her stunningly, beautiful face. Her cheeks were brilliantly pink right now, but even before there was a hint of rose on them. Her nose was perfect, her cheekbones were high and arched, and her chin was slightly pointy, giving her face a perfectly symmetrical look."You are so beautiful," Arthur whispered, glistening her face with his moist breath. She inhaled his scent and smiled. She still had her eyes closed as if she was still savouring the taste of his lips."Kiss me more," Mila whispered too, now raising her hands and entwining her fingers around his neck. Arthur didn't need telling twice, he pulled her close again and covered her lips with his. Her lips parted more and she took charge. As she sucked on his lower lip, Arthur felt his entire body tremble. "She is the one... I tell you," Sebastian repeated, feeling the heat all over his body.Urgh! Arthur growled as he pul
MILAMila took care of Tony while Arthur hunted for some wood. Tony's injuries were grave and she had to use my magic to heal him."Grace," Mila muttered as she tried to find Arthur. He was out of my sight - human sight. "Look for him, please."And Grace obliged. Suddenly everything turned focused and things sharpened. Mila's senses heightened and she could feel him better. He was behind the big stone, the one against which she had found him, hiding from the enemy. "Thank God for this stone, else he would have died too," Grace muttered as she looked around. "And we are alone... Arthur, you and your suitor - Tony."Mila laughed at the mockery from Grace's side. "You know why I had enchanted him, he would have killed me otherwise," Mila spoke, feeling Tony's forehead. "He is getting better though.""Arthur needs him, make him not just 'better', make him perfect," Grace ordered.Mila looked in Arthur's direction and dared again.Placing both hands on Tony's head, Mila muttered, "SANA".
MILA When Mila came through, it was noon. Sun was blazing over them and she was lying comfortably on a bundle of cloaks. "How are you feeling?" Arthur asked the moment she moved. "You gave me quite a scare," he spoke affectionately, helping her get up. "Did you make the poor horses stand in scorching heat so that I can be spared?" Mila asked, thoroughly enjoying Arthur's attention. "I could not let the sun burn you," Arthur muttered. "You are..." he paused abruptly, unable to decide what she was exactly. A blush crept on her cheeks at this, and he was about to bend down, hopefully to kiss her - at least that's what she wanted, but another voice stopped him. "Oh, thank goodness, you are awake and alive," Tony too sat beside her and held her hand. "You feel better?" Mila asked him seriously. "Me?" Tony looked perplexed. "I am as healthy as a horse," he laughed. "How are you really?" and he made to touch her forehead to check her temperature but Arthur grabbed his hand. Arthur's
ARTHURIt seemed to Arthur that Mila had slapped him. He never had met a girl who didn't desire him! He was the alpha - well, to be alpha, and he was the next in line for the throne. "But she does desire you," Sebastian spoke in Arthur's head simply. "Maybe a little too much," Sebastian added."But then why is she walking away," Arthur moaned as he saw Mila walk towards Tony."I think she wants you to choose," Sebastian spoke reasonably."How can I choose her over Chloe?" Arthur grumbled. "I mean, yes, I like her, but I have already accepted Chloe as my mate. We are set to tie the knot in coming years.""But Chloe is NOT your mate," Sebastian shouted in Arthur's head, making him wince.Mila turned suddenly as if she knew about Arthur's dilemma and pain, but after giving an appraising look, she looked away."I want her," Sebastian moaned."Yeah?" Arthur gave a snort of a laugh, "Join the club!""Choose her," Sebastian beseeched. "She is not even a wolf, what would you do? Fuck a hum
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
