ARTHUR & MILA Everyone was stunned by Mila’s announcement. And Arthur was ashamed. Everyone was looking at him, partly with a confused expression and partly with accusing look. “I made a mistake,” Arthur sighed as he rubbed his face with his hands. He just didn’t know what to say or do. “I didn’t know my father had a genealogy that has photos. I didn’t know he would know what the original Daniels – Sharpe looked like. He just made the connection somehow and looked it up!” “How did he know? How he sensed that connection?” Osho demanded. “I transformed for him,” Mila sobbed. “What?” Osho gasped. “She semi-transformed. A power that only reigning alpha has,” Arthur corrected. “And he saw the red glint,” Osho deduced. “My Grace was red,” Mila choked as she remembered the bright red colour of Grace’s fur, and another pang of guilt and hurt engulfed her. “Don’t you know that the Sharpe clan was popular for being red?” Osho demanded. “That the connection between red and danger start
ARTHUR & MILA“What did he mean, Mila?” Arthur asked the moment the door closed behind Osho. Mila had a horrified and tragic look on her face and Arthur was worried about respect to what Mila was being asked to do!When Mila didn’t reply, he asked again, “Mila, what is Osho asking you to do? What is it that you are so scared of?”Mila was still speechless. It was not just she was just scared, she was terrified. Mila gulped and spoke, “My prison,” the two words came out as a mere whisper but everyone heard them.“You have a prison?” Ajax asked, “Well of course,” he added, “all alphas have prisons, but why are you so scared to visit your own prison?”“He doesn’t know,” Rah interjected. “I also have heard, but what about it?” Rah asked, indicating to Ajax that he would fill him in later.“I don’t have a prison,” Mila shook her head. Her eyes were glassy and her face had a fazed-out expression. It was as if she was somewhere else. “I was a prisoner! I have spent most of my life in prison.
ARTHUR & MILAMila and Arthur went back to their chambers and got dressed.Mila couldn’t help herself but smile throughout the process. Even Arthur was smiling, and though she did not know what was going on in his head, she knew why she was happy.For starters, she was sure of Grace’s life. Grace was alive and it was a reason for celebration. And also, she could not help but remember how their bodies had wrapped together minutes ago. How his naked body felt against her breasts. How with each stroke, Arthur was moving the water, and how the water was lapping against Mila’s skin. How Mila’s back was scratching the edge of the pool, and how even that feel made her feel erotic and hungry for him. And how, how Arthur made today about her. About Mila only. Only about her pleasure. He knew their mating was the reason why their minds had linked. And mind linking is a trait of wolves. So, how Arthur used his body to stir Grace in Mila’s head.“Why are you smiling like this?” Arthur asked.Mila
ARTHUR & MILABoth Mila and Arthur looked at each other, blushing.“What happened?” Arthur demanded as he finally got up from the bed and stood by the door to talk to Rah.“Umm… better to show you,” Rah spoke. Arthur and Mila could hear the suppressed grin in his voice.Embarrassed and flushed, Mila got up from the bed too and got dressed. “We shall go,” she whispered softly.“Good idea,” Rah spoke from the other side of the door and both Mila and Arthur stared at each other with shocked expressions.“Are you listening at the door, Rah?” Arthur accused.“Sire,” Rah spoke with a soft hint of sarcasm, “I don’t need to listen at the door, you are quite loud anyways.”Arthur grunted in anger and heard Rah shuffle back.“I will wait for you in the courtyard then,” Rah called out and they heard him run away.“Can you make these chambers sound resistant?” Arthur asked Mila as he too got dressed.“You mean to avoid any sound to travel to and fro?” Mila asked as she thought about it.“Yes, I w
ARTHUR & MILAMila transported Arthur, Rah, Ajax, and Tony via portal to the Collins kingdom, directly in Arthur’s chambers. She had summoned Tony to their current location while they bade farewell to each other.“What would you do with Chloe?” Mila asked just before she opened the portal. Arthur could see a crease of concern appearing on her beautiful face. And he knew she was scared of losing him.“I will first try to find her a mate, and if I am unsuccessful, I will declare to the world that you are my true mate. Though for that, I would rather have you beside me, you know, so that I can showcase you to the world as the true alpha and claim that I have chosen a better mate,” Arthur grinned with pride.“And the fact that she is a powerful enchantress doesn’t help?” Rah mocked Arthur.Arthur growled and Rah went quiet instantly.“Come find me, the moment you are out of this hell hole, come find me, okay?” Arthur stressed as he grabbed her hand and kissed them. “Though I hope our mind
ARTHURThe moment Chloe walked out of the chambers, Arthur closed the doors and rounded on his father. But much to his surprise, his father was already jumping out of the bed and was glaring down at him, Arthur!“You need to do some serious explaining, son,” his father demanded.“I need to explain?” Arthur bellowed. “I brought my true mate to you, the girl I love to my deepest core. I wanted your blessing and you attacked her. You poisoned my mate!” he thundered the last statement.“I did what I thought was best at the time,” his father spoke shamelessly. “Do you have any idea what I went through the moment I saw the red fur?” he added. “You yourself know what red wolf signifies, Arthur. How could you be so stupid?”“I am not stupid, father,” Arthur spoke angrily. “Do you think I took the decision of being with Mila on a whim? I spent days researching. I have gone through every single scenario in my head. I had revoked her, even though our minds were partly linked, but then –”But his
ARTHUR After that ominous declaration by his father, Arthur scoffed and walked out. But not before he took the genealogy book from him and the amulet. His father was reluctant to part from both things, but somehow he didn’t stop Arthur was taking them. And for the first time in his life, Arthur knew he had an upper hand. His father was scared now. And if his father was scared of him due to Mila, his mate, then Arthur wondered what others would do.“What happened?” Rah demanded the moment Arthur came back to his chambers.“Ajax, go to Chloe’s chambers and ask her to pack things for a week,” Arthur ordered and Ajax left immediately.Acting on cue, Rah too started packing things for Arthur. “Why are you so agitated?” Rah asked as he folded Arthur’s clothes one after another for the week’s travel.“Father said something,” Arthur spoke as he paced up and down the room.“I am sure he said many things,” Rah laughed sarcastically but quieted as Arthur gave him a stern look.“He said that eve
ARTHUR “I am so excited,” Chloe chirped as Arthur helped her climb up the carriage and joined her. “I don’t think we have done this before!” she remarked. “That is true,” Arthur nodded, staring out of the carriage window to ensure all their luggage was stowed in the next carriage where two of her maids and two of Arthur’s guards had joined them. “I will finish the work you have assigned to me, sire,” Rah nodded towards Arthur. “And don’t leave my chambers,” Arthur ordered. “Not even for a second, you don’t have to worry, sire,” Rah assured. Arthur nodded meaningfully toward Rah. “Is Angad coming with us?” Arthur asked suddenly. “Yes, sire. He is all ready and already sitting in the other carriage,” Rah informed. “Well, then, you know –” Arthur started but Rah interjected him, “I know sire. Why don’t you have a good time with Chloe here. And don’t worry about what goes back here.” And the look that Rah was giving Arthur, he knew he was trying to quiet him. Arthur narrowed h
