ARTHURAs Arthur walked back, his mind raced through multiple scenarios.Mila's words were hurting him tremendously. But why? In his last few years, well, since he had attained puberty and gained interest in women, many beautiful girls have crossed his path. Some he had paid attention to, some - to be honest, none he had ignored. Girls... ahem women too have thrown themselves at him.Don't forget Miss Danes! Bash laughed in his head."Oh, I can never forget Miss Danes," Arthur chortled. Miss Danes was almost forty years old woman who had entered his chambers in the dead of the night almost two years ago. She had talked to him for a few hours, and then, even Arthur doesn't remember now how the conversation had changed, she had stripped naked and made him touch her."Well, I was only sixteen then," Arthur retorted and Bash roared with laughter again. "You were fifteen, technically, that woman should be arrested for molesting a child. She was old... really old... and you were like a chi
ARTHUR"Ever since I have met your mother and claimed her as my one true mate, I have never had any desire to be with another woman," his father continued the moment they were alone in his father's chambers. "Or to add precisely, I could not even dare appreciate another woman in my head because your mother could hear me and would kill me at that very instant."Arthur knew where this conversation was going and he feared it."Arthur," his father spoke heavily, "You have mated with Chloe."It was not a question, it was a statement.Arthur still nodded."So, you should be linked," his father continued.Arthur avoided his father's eyes at this."Have you mated with Mila Grace?" Arthur's head shot up at these words and the memory from previous day where Mila had lay almost bare in her bed, underneath him flashed in front of his eyes."Have your mind linked with her?" his father asked automatically."I have not mated with Mila," Arthur corrected."Not yet, you mean..." his father corrected
ARTHUR After spending at least two hours in solitude in his father's chambers, Arthur had just one question. "You are still here?" his father asked in mild shock when he came back. "Have one last question," Arthur spoke as he stared at the beautiful domed cieling. "Ask away, my boy," his father smiled as he undid his belt and placed it on the hanger. "How did you know that Chloe is not my true mate? And, how do you know when you come across your true mate?" Arthur asked seriously. His father stared at him for a long moment, then smiled pitifully. "You asking me latter states you have not yet encountered your true mate," he sighed. "Explain," Arthur insisted. "Well, I knew Chloe is not your true mate because she lost you..." his father started. "Meaning?" Arthur was confused. "You cannot lose your true mate, my son. First your wolves are connected, and as your wolf is a part of you, you and your mate get linked in minds post that first mating... the bond strenghtens once you
MILAWhile Arthur was dealing with his own feelings, his father and Chloe, Mila was facing her own fears and demons.In fact, she didn't know what she was feeling or what she wanted. Before getting captured by Collins clan, i.e. men Arthur commanded, she wanted to run away. She was a part of Keats clan and they mostly treated her like a prisoner. No, they didn't 'mostly' treat her like a prisoner, she was their prisoner. She didn't even remember how many times she had tried to run away from them. But only they could bring her back. The alpha of the Keats clan was enchanted by her, but his mate, Hanna, was not. And it was Hanna who was incharge of keeping Mila prisoner. Mila was lying in her bed remembering the horrid days of her life back then. She was still scarely clothed and was feeling utterly confused. Her body hungered for Arthur. Her mind hungered for power. And her heart hungered for revenge on Chloe. Somehow she could see Hanna's image in Chloe and a part of Mila, that stupi
MILAGrace ran as fast as she could. It had been a while since she found this freedom and it was exhilarating. The gush of wind in her fur… the way the hard earth felt underneath her paws as she took one step after another, it was just another world.“And you keep me locked up in your head,” Grace spoke as she came to an halt at a cliff and howled at the rising moon.“Oh, I don’t mind letting you go. It is so blissful to not be worried about anything for a while,” Mila spoke softly as she rested. Mila had actually forgotten how Grace’s head was her sanctuary. A place where she was visible, but invisible. Where her powers didn’t work and she could just rest and be herself. It was only in Grace’s head that she could sleep in peace, without a fear of being watched, or someone accidentally stumbling on to her and, well, demanding her love and affection.“Your whining is kind of mood-killer,” Grace spoke as she continue to run aimlessly.“Sorry,” Mila mumbled and drifted off to a peaceful
MILAMany years ago… almost thirteen years ago…“Mommy, will we be safe here?” Mila asked. She had just moved to this new location with her mother and felt excited. The last place she was living with her mother was very bad. Her mother had to keep her hidden in a basement, and she sincerely hoped that this hut, where her mother was putting up their things, had no basement at all.“Yes, my love, we will be,” her mother spoke lovingly as she pulled up the hood of Mila’s cloak over head to hide her.“Do I need to hide here as well?” Mila asked, disgruntled.“We know what happens when someone sees you,” her mother sighed. “You know what happened last time.”“That bad man saw me…” Mila whispered. “And?” her mother insisted.“And you had to kill him!” Mila spoke, wide-eyed.“And killing is bad,” her mother stressed.“Killing is bad, but sometimes, we have to do it to protect the ones we love,” Mila chimed happily.“Yes, my dear. And I love you and there is not a thing I won’t do for you…”
MILAPresent Day “So how was the trip down that horrible memory lane?” Grace asked, annoyed.Mila didn’t blame her. No amount of trauma, no level of horrific scenes in life could trump seeing your mother murdered in front of you.Mila sighed as she stepped out and made way around. It was dawn now and with the first ray of Sun came another feeling. A feeling of him.“He found you,” Grace whooped with joy as Mila headed out. The hair on her body stood up as she felt his scent settle on her skin.She could tell he was directly heading towards her. His footsteps echoed in the silent halls, and before she knew it, he was standing in front of her, fully dressed in his armour and cloak, holding a bag.“How did you find me?” Mila asked, unable to take her eyes from his gorgeous face.“What are you doing here?” Arthur asked, worried. He dropped the bag on the floor and looked around. “Do you have any idea how many horrible scenarios ran through my mind when I realized you had gone?”“How did
ARTHUR & MILAIf Mila was depressed with the wave of nostalgia that had erupted within her, Arthur was dumbfounded.The enclosing was barely ten feet wide, which was completely cut out from outer world. There were tall walls around in a circular pattern and in the middle of it was a four-storied tower. The tower in itself was no more than five feet in diameter and its entrance was barricaded by iron wrought gates.“What?” Arthur couldn’t comprehend words. “You lived here?”Mila didn’t reply but just walked to the tower and opened it.“Wow, it looks even smaller now,” Mila chuckled dryly. Her eyes were wet with tears now. “I still remember when these walls were put up!”“What?” Arthur was so shocked that he couldn’t form sentences now. He looked around, it was worse than a hovel. His horses lived in better condition, and Mila lived here… He had so many questions but he didn’t know where to start.Mila entered the tower and Arthur followed quietly. A damp, rotten stench met their nostri
