ARTHUR & MILA Ajax was epically confused. He was staring at Rah, then at Mila. “What is so special about you that you have to cover your face and skin?” Ajax asked simply. Arthur felt offended at these words, and as he motioned his anger, Ajax added, “I mean you are beautiful, very beautiful, no doubt. But why do you have to hide? Beauty like yours is supposed to be boasted, it is not like you are hideous or have marks, etc to hide!” “Can we please tell him the truth?” Rah requested. Mila considered him for a moment. “I swear, he will keep it a secret,” Rah added seriously. “Are you sure? Can he keep a secret?” Arthur asked skeptically. “He is standing here,” Ajax spoke in an annoyed tone, though he didn’t have the luxury to show it considering Mila and Arthur were the people of power. “And he,” Ajax stressed, “promises to keep whatever you all are hiding.” “Very well then,” Mila smiled and she waved her hand and fire erupted on her palms. Ajax and Rah took a step back in sho
ARTHUR & MILA “Huh!!” Rah laughed loudly as he realized what just happened. “You are truly amazing, oh my God, I am not travelling ever again. You have to open portals for me always.” “Happily, till the time I know the place where the portal needs to be opened,” Mila grinned with him. “If you can do that,” Ajax, who looked incredibly confused, pointed at the place where the portal has just closed, “why were we planning to ride for two days to come here?” “Because we didn’t know she would come,” Rah laughed. “Your arrival was super, perfectly timed.” “Why did you return?” Arthur asked seriously. Deep down he was hoping that she returned for him, but the look on her face told him that he was being stupid by thinking that. “For my amulet,” Mila spoke without any interest, “what else is there for me in the Collins kingdom!” “Mila,” Arthur started, but she just raised her hand. “Damn it, I left my gloves and mask in your chambers,” Mila hissed. She concentrated to summon them but
ARTHUR & MILA Arthur kissed Mila fully on her lips for a long moment, to her it seemed like ages and to him, it felt like centuries. Time stood still for them as they kissed. There was no telling what mates felt when they are apart, and only Mila and Arthur could express that, but not in words. It was their lips and bodies that was showing how much they have longed for each other. “I am sorry,” Arthur whispered as he pulled back and placed his forehead against hers, making them whole. “I know,” Mila swallowed. How she had missed touching him, being close to him, feeling his scent on her body. As his breath flourished on her face, she felt an ache in her chest that represented anguish and a feeling of loneliness. Arthur placed his hand on her back and traced it from the nape of her neck to her waist, raking her spine with his fingers, making her shiver. “I want you,” Arthur murmured in her ears, raising goosebumps all over her body. “Can I have you?” he pleaded as he kissed her th
ARTHUR & MILA Arthur was shocked at these words. “But…” Arthur blanched. “But I have been asking the same, to mate with you.” “But I am asking to mate with you once you have firmly decided,” Mila corrected him. “Right now you want to mate because of Bash, but I want you to have a decision, whether you are my mate or not. And then you decide.” “If I decide not to be together,” Arthur spoke very sadly, “not that it will happen,” he added hastily, “won’t our linked minds be a problem?” “For a while, it would be,” Mila nodded. “But over time this bond fades. It faded for my mother. After a while, or should I say the moment my father revoked my mother permanently, the bond broke. I guess the wolves accept that the person is not their true mate and they start hunting for someone else.” “Did your mother find another mate?” Arthur asked seriously. “I know my father did,” Mila sighed. “My mother told me as much. My mother did not. She came close to someone enough, but she never found ano
ARTHUR & MILA Arthur walked back out of the protective circle of the wisdom tree and stepped out in the open. Mila, Rah, Ajax, and Tony were waiting there. What did Osho mean? Arthur wondered. Think not with only your mind or your heart, but with both. If he thought and made his decision with both, he would not go wrong. So, what did his heart want? The answer was simple – Mila. His heart wanted Mila. He loved her incredibly and wanted to spend his eternity with her. But what did his mind want? Now that was an answer that was not simple. He wanted Mila, logic said Mila was the right choice but was it really? She was an enchantress, she was one of a kind, she was a weapon, she was powerful, she was a Daniels – Sharpe, and she was dangerous. “What did Osho tell you?” Mila asked the moment he reached her. Even though he could not see her face, the spark in her eyes said it all. She was very, very curious. “I also do not understand what he said,” Arthur sighed heavily as he lied to
ARTHUR & MILA “You make everything sound so simple,” Arthur laughed. “It is simple, my love,” Mila shrugged. “It is all about trust.” Arthur nodded. “Would you be too offended if I said I want to go and talk to Rah?” Arthur requested. “I would not be offended,” Mila nodded. “But I doubt Rah would be available to talk just yet.” “What do you mean? Where is he?” Arthur asked. “Osho wanted to meet him, remember? I think when Osho wants to meet someone, it takes time,” Mila smiled. “Alright,” and Arthur slumped in a chair and closed his eyes. Seeing his exhaustion, Mila led Arthur to the sleeping chambers and forced him in bed. “You should sleep for a while,” Mila insisted. “But I cannot sleep, my mind is racing with infinite thoughts,” Arthur complained. “I can make you sleep, if you like,” Mila suggested. Arthur who was now lying in the bed, with Mila hovering over him, looked into her beautiful eyes. Eyes that made him forget everything else. He pulled her close and kissed
ARTHUR & MILA Rah whooped with joy at these words. “I knew you would choose her,” Rah was visibly delighted and it made Arthur feel even more happy. He could see true happiness in his eyes and sensed why Osho said that Rah was of true heart and an open mind. “What? Is there something on my face?” Rah asked suddenly as he noticed Arthur’s gaze. “No, you have a smile on your face,” Arthur smirked. “Smile?” Rah was confused. “Of course I will have a smile on my face, my two best friends are getting together, what else can I ask for?” “A lot of things actually,” Arthur grinned, “but you are of true heart, aren’t you?” he mocked joyfully. “That I am,” Rah grinned. “So,” Arthur spoke in a serious mode, “I need to inform father, how to do it?” he wondered. “Is that what you are worried about?” Rah asked, surprised. And then he laughed. “What?” Arthur was taken aback. “Alpha Collins is in favor of your mate, isn’t it? It is Chloe who you need to worry about,” Rah pitched with a lau
ARTHUR & MILA “I am ready,” Mila whispered on Arthur’s lips. “I am ready…” she repeated hoarsely. Arthur pulled back and looked at her face, her beautifully shining face. There was a raw look there, a brazen look that said more than her words. Her blue eyes were filled with desire and he could see the hunger in it. Arthur swallowed as the forthcoming moments sent shivers down his spine. “What’s wrong?” Mila asked, a bit amused by his expressions and a bit confused. “I love you…” he whispered hoarsely as he continued to stare at her face. “Then show me with your body too,” and in one swift motion, she took off the dress she was wearing and now stood in her bra and her pants. Arthur’s eyes flickered down her milky white skin and back to her face. “You are absolutely divine,” Arthur started again, but Mila placed her hand on his lips. “Enough talks, Arthur Collins,” Mila spoke in a sensual tone, “now, it is time to put your body in motion,” and removing her hand from his mouth,
