Mila took a step back and sighed. Arthur turned too but she was not going to wait. The sun had risen properly now, and she could see Rah coming down towards her hut with a plate in his hands."I will go now," Mila spoke and went to her hut, leaving Arthur stunned."Wait," he shouted, agitated."What?" Mila turned but didn't reply. Even Arthur was speechless. He was trying to make out her face, she could tell. "Good you are awake and alive," Rah laughed as he approached Mila. "And why are you covered in mud again, you are exceptionally beautiful without it, did you know?"As Mila shrugged, he added, "I am glad you are not stinking today." He went inside the hut and place the plate on the counter."Yesterday I was covered in sewer mud, you know," Mila laughed as he came back out to talk to her. "Today, of your land.""Ah, our land... it smells the best," Rah grinned and inhaled heavily to glance around the beautiful horizon, but felt his breath hitch as he saw Arthur standing there.Ar
Mila's senses were on high alert. She was feeling extremely bothered. The way Chloe clung to Arthur's body, said a lot. But if Chloe was the one who was permitted to touch him, why was he approaching her?"You fight very well," someone spoke from behind. Mila turned and found Tony. Like a lost puppy, he had come to her."And you don't fight well at all," Mila snapped.Tony just smiled, reminding Mila that he was under her influence. In all Arthur's drama, she had forgotten about him."You look sad," Tony purred lightly."Aren't you supposed to train these men in Arthur's absence?" Mila asked."We all deserve a break," Tony grinned like a stupid. Mila looked back, Arthur's men were just chatting and standing idly."Fine," Mila snapped and started to walk away, but Tony suddenly grabbed her hand. " Don't go there, they are arguing," Tony spoke urgently.Tony was concentrating and Mila knew he was using his wolf's ears to eavesdrop. Mila too shifted to a side, where she was hidden from
Mila maintained her distance from Arthur in the coming days. She yearned for his company, for his presence, but she knew she was better off without him. She could tell Arthur too was missing her, he was often seen looking for her. She went to every single training session, but observed from a distance, hidden in shadows. He could fight really well, there was no doubt in it, but he lacked focus. Mila saw him practice with bow and arrows, sword, spear, and even a morning star. Everyday they trained for five-six hours where Arthur practice with every single men in his command, and by the end of it, he always asked, "Has anyone seen Mila Grace?""If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were here to steal my mate," a voice chuckled. Mila turned and saw Chloe standing on top of the stairs, stairs that overlooked Mila's hiding position.Mila had her face covered with a scarf and was wearing gloves and socks to ensure no glint of her skin was visible."Verrucas," Mila muttered und
"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
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
