ARTHUR Arthur was supposed to head to Yash kingdom to meet his sisters, but he did not wish to. He now knew his goal to help Chloe her mate, though noble in itself, was fruitless. Chloe may or may not find her mate but it would not change Arthur’s position with the Keplins kingdom and its friends. And now with that vision, he just wanted to go back to his mate, Mila.“Sire,” Angad hesitated after they had ridden for more than half a day. They were now waiting outside a small tavern while the coachman fed and watered the horses and gave them rest.“Yes,” Arthur asked excitedly.“I have a question, sire,” Angad continued and Arthur’s hope vanished of getting some news from Mila. It had been less than a day since he arrived in Collins kingdom since he parted with his Mila and she entered that treacherous prison tower. Was it possible that she was able to do what she needed to in a day? Osho believed it could take anything between days to weeks. So, achieving that feat in hours was not p
ARTHUR & MILA“Bring a robe for the queen,” Osho shouted and while there was a shuffling between people to get a robe for Mila, Grace walked over to Bash and touched his muzzle with his.It was as if Bash was almost faint with relief. He stepped forward and placed his head on her shoulder to display affection.Someone put robes on both Bash and Grace, but they didn’t move for a long moment. They just stood there like statues, feeling each other, ensuring they were safe and finally together.“Your Grace,” Osho spoke after a pause, “I mean, my queen,” he laughed softly at the coincidence of the names.Grace looked up and nodded. And where there was a big red wolf, now stood a girl with flaming red hair. Bash too transformed and the next moment it was Arthur who was putting on the coat to cover himself.“All hair, Mila – Daniels – Sharpe – Collins,” Osho shouted as Mila stood in front of the crowd in a long coat. Arthur joined her and held her hand as he looked at the crowd too.“HAIL!”
ARTHUR & MILATHUD! THUD! THUD!The sky was darkening now and Arthur and Mila were still in the wild moors, enjoying each other’s company. During the course of the day, they had even gotten rid of the four-poster hangings around them and now they were enjoying the warmth of each other’s bodies in broad daylight in the view from miles. But they were alone… they were sure, they were all alone.“Do you hear something?” Mila asked suddenly.“What would we hear around here?” Arthur laughed.But another loud thudding noise even made Arthur alert now.“Is it coming –” he started.“From my chambers,” Mila jumped out of the bed and covered herself with a sheet that had fallen on the ground.She widened the portal and Arthur went ahead, wrapping another sheet on his body too.“What happened?” Arthur called without opening the door.“Sire,” an urgent voice sounded from the other side of the door.“Who is it? I don’t recognize –” Mila started but Arthur did recognize the voice. And the panic worr
ARTHUR & MILAAs Mila appeared back in her chambers, she found a lot of weapons laden on her bed.“You plan to take all this with you?” Mila asked with a dazed expression. “I mean… what is all this?”“I don’t know what I would need,” Arthur mumbled.“You need to calm down, Arthur, or you will get killed,” Mila scolded as she picked up a sword and handed it to him along with a bow and quiver full of arrows. “You just need these.”“Or…” Arthur picked up a hammer and pickaxe.“Arthur Collins, I will put you under an enchanted sleep if you don’t start thinking rationally right away,” Mila threatened as she added a knife under his belt.“You would not dare,” Arthur thundered.“For the sake of my mate’s life, I would do anything,” Mila spoke with raised eyebrows.“Whatever,” Arthur mumbled, “I do not appreciate living under the threat of you enchanting me all the time, okay!”Mila glared at him and then shook her head.“If you are ready, shall we go and rescue your father,” Mila asked sarca
ARTHUR & MILA“What is happening?” a voice boomed. “Is someone there?”Smack!“Who was that?” another man shouted.Thud!“Everyone get down,” someone ordered and Mila recognized the voice of Raul Collins.“Stand and fight,” another voice boomed and Mila did not recognize it at all. She assumed it would be of someone from Keplins’ clan army.Smiling at herself, and hoping most of the Collins soldiers were on the ground, she raised her hands and sent a rippling wave of her power at the chest level of average human height.By the sound of it, a lot of bodies fell on the ground, some hit the prison cells, some on top of each other.Wondering how many enemies were still standing, she put up a shield around her and illuminated the cell. As all the torches were ablaze again, people – who were still standing – looked around in shock.Most of the people in the prison cells were on their knees – they had obeyed their alpha’s orders.Some of the Keplins soldiers too were bent down and Mila was s
ARTHUR & MILA“This will be fun,” Rah commented as they stepped out of the prison cell and looked around.“Oh, immensely,” Mila grinned as they walked together out of the prison area.“Where would he be? Any idea?” Arthur asked his father.“I do not know, but if we do not find him soon enough, we will lose the element of surprise,” Raul Collins grunted.“Why don’t you all wait here?” Mila asked with a simple smile as she disappeared behind a door.“Umm…” Arthur spoke as he followed her, post assuring his father that he would find out Mila’s plan soon. “What are we doing here?” he inquired.“I did not wish to do this in front of your people, Arthur,” Mila laughed as she opened portal after portal in various parts of the Collins kingdom.“Oh, that is wise,” Arthur spoke as he peered through the small window-sized portals that Mila was opening to see through and hear.“Nope, not in your father’s chambers,” Mila spoke as she closed the portal as closed it, “though it seemed some soldiers
ARTHUR & MILAMila and Arthur spent the next few hours roaming around the Collins kingdom to evaluate the condition of the kingdom."I may have to return soon," Mila spoke to Arthur as they walked around."I know," Arthur sighed. "But I may have to stay back for a while," he added. "You know, to see everything is in order.""I know," Mila nodded. "I will wait for you, my love."Everywhere they went, they saw that the Collins soldiers had captured Keplins' men, but there were a few men who were hurt. Mila, though Arthur didn’t want her to display her power to the general public, had healed them on the spot.Most men were impressed by her, but some were scared. However, no one voiced the latter opinion – after all they were scared of her!“Where is Tony?” Mila asked again once the inspection of the kingdom was over. “I have summoned him as well, but he is not here, how is it possible?”“I do not know,” Arthur huffed. “It is not like him to abandon the battle!”“Hmph!” Mila looked worri
ARTHUR & MILA“If our minds are linked, I will die for sure?” Arthur blanched as he stared at Mila.Mila nodded simply."I do not believe it," Arthur shook his head.“Do you want to test it out?” Mila asked with a polite smile. "Though I do not wish to hurt you!"“I do not like the fact that you can access my mind all the time but I cannot access yours,” Arthur groaned. “The perk of having a mate is unrestricted access. It is part of being mates. Truth and trust!”Mila smiled at this. "Unrestricted access to a lot of things, Arthur. You have unrestricted access to anything and everything I own, except for my head, as it will kill you," she added humbly."How is it fair?" Arthur started again.“You want to do this, right now?” Mila asked as she gave a fleeting look at Raul Collins, who was looking at both of them with great curiosity. "Can we not have this discussion more privately, when we have more time to discuss it?"“Maybe you are right," Arthur groaned. "we must do it later,” Art
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
