Contd.Alpha King Ozar.“Yeri?” I say, after clearing my throat but there is no response. I expected it. Therefore, I twist the key into the door and I open it. The air scents of woodsmoke and something sweeter - cherry perhaps, or maybe a foreign spice that I cannot quite place. I notice the windows - all four of them at the entrance – are tightly shuttered, plunging the room into a twilight gloom. It is bright and sunny outside but, in this room, one would think it was winter gloom. At the entrance of her room is a vestibule, its purpose is clear: to shield a consort’s private chambers from the clamor and chill of the outside world.The floor is covered in a thick, plush carpet woven in shades of emerald and gold. As I walk in, heavy drapes, the color of ripe plums, hangs across the doorway leading into the hallway, muffling any sound that might disturb her solitude. I walk past the visitor’s room and I finally end up at the inner bedroom where a large four-poster bed dominates the
Princess Yeri.I know what I am asking of him. And I know the moment where Ozar surrendered to it. It wasn’t when he decided to take off his belt, or when he gazed at me. It was when he stopped walking. Or was it when he couldn’t leave? It is true what Diana said to me, ‘no man would be able to resist me’. I push the sheets aside as his weight sinks into the bed, he is a man that is built like armours and weapons. Yet, a flicker of tenderness softens his fierce gaze. The furs dip significantly, creating a valley between us. A flush creeps up my neck for I am so close to him. I smell, cedarwood, vetiver and everything leather. I want him to hold me with his strong arms, I want his calloused hands to go in between my legs and his stern mouth, to grasp a hold of my breasts. I need it. I was not lying when I said he can make me feel better."You fill this bed like a longship in a storm." I say, my voice is laced with affection and need"Perhaps," he conceded, his voice is a rough bass, l
Alpha King Orizon.How can I make it unknown as if I didn’t just perfect intimacy with Yeri? Usually, one round is certainly never enough for me. I usually take it as a kick start. Then, I go two more rounds but due to breakfast, I had to release myself. Once again, I spilled my seed in her and it was because she stopped me from pulling out. I cannot explain just how orgasmic it was to stay buried in her pouch as I released—it was a chill to the bones.“Oh, there the both of you are.” Camille says as soon as we enter. Of course, Camille will act as if she doesn’t know anything about sending me to Yeri’s room in the first place.The table is surrounded by Kaine, Asher, dowager, Mehera and Camille. They are all staring in our direction and I make my way to the head of the seat.“Your grace.”“Your highnesses.”I hear Yeri’s soothing voice and when I sit, I see her curtsey. Heavens, I don’t wish to be around this seat. I want to be back on the bed with her, fondling her breasts and leavi
ContdAlpha King Ozar.“Are you sure you would rather do this?” I ask. Meters picks a large stack of files and places it onto my desk. She groans for a bit as she tries to arrange it and I look back at her.“Yes, your majesty. But I’ll later leave to help Lady Camille. Although, it looks like she doesn’t need my help.” She says.“Why do you say that?” I ask, my voice is unexpectedly gruff and a heat of blush spreads across her face.“I don’t know. She doesn’t know me yet.” Mehera says and I begin to go through the files that she has dropped upon the table.“Hmm..” I state, paying little attention to the ongoing conversation after I spot an interesting file.“Are these all petitions?” Mehera asks.“Yes, from Elanor.” I answer and she lifts her head to look at me.“My father told me you had ministers overseeing your commands. Why do you need to go through their petitions when the ministers could do it?” Mehera asks.“Because I took over Elanor myself, not my ministers. Therefore, I sho
Princess Yeri.“Mehera is so nice. Yet, I cannot help but feel she is pretending.” Camille says but I’m looking outside the hallway. Now that I live in the castle, I’m going to have my servants from Elanor, my attendants and Diana next to me at all costs. Honestly, this is one of the good parts of living here.“Are you listening?” Camille asks.“Hmm?” I answer, folding my hands and looking back at her. “They are probably doing their morning routines. They will be here soon.” Camille says, she knows what I’m worrying about.“Are their bedrooms good? I know they are now servants of Elanor but they used to serve at my side. They had all the luxuries that I enjoyed too.” I state, tucking my hair behind my ear as I walk towards her.“Unfortunately, it is only the closest servants of the royals that get luxurious rooms.” Camille says.“I have been made the king’s consort. Yet, I’m not a royal of Orizon?” I ask.“If you were to bring forth a child, you will be regarded as one.” Camille says
Alpha King Ozar. Yeri’s raven hair is cascading down her shoulders like a midnight waterfall. Her vibrant eyes are clouded with an unreadable emotion, her steps are not hesitant but they are not confident either. When my guard informed me of her presence, I was surprised. Despite being busy, turning her way didn’t come as a first option. A muscle clenches in my jaw as I look at her features, there is obviously something wrong. I was already standing when she walked in and therefore, I remain the stance. As soon as she stops in front of me, I watch as her hands grab a fabric of her skirt and slowly, she descends on her knees towards me. The folds of her gown pools around her like a defeated flag. Her head is bowed, and her hands are atop each other. “Get up.” I say, I don’t even want to know what it is about. I don’t want to see her on her knees, begging me or anyone else. “I won’t until you grant me my heart desire.” She says and I exhale, throwing a file unto the table. “Do not c
ContdAlpha King Dimitrio.I stand behind Yeri. I am supposed to be listening but I cannot help but notice the way the fabric of her dress stretches across the slope of her back when she leans forward. She passionately discusses the policies that I had been struggling to understand, pointing at various territories on the map laid out before us. Her finger glides over the parchment with confidence, her cascades down her shoulders and she looks back at me.“Yes.” I say, hoping that is the correct answer for whatever she asked. Well, if she asked a question.“Yes?” Yeri says again and I blink.“Yeah.” I say, nodding again and she begins to chuckle.Heavens, I wasn’t listening to her. I am making a fool out of myself.“I hope you can see that I am not a monster.” I say, and she begins to fold the scrolls on the table.“No, I can’t see that for you still see me as an enemy.” Yeri responds and I fold my hands.“I am a king, protecting my kingdom’s pride.” I say.“You are king, protecting yo
Lady Mehera.“The king left on horse riding with consort Yeri and the children.” Agnes says and the words are etched into my heart. But the only part that I really hear is where she said, “King Ozar left with Yeri.” I have prepared myself for this. I have told myself that it would be fine. I shouldn’t focus on what people say or what I see for I am after the king’s heart.It has only been a day since Yeri has joined the castle and I cannot breathe. Before I joined the castle, Agnes visited my mother and I, she wanted to give me familiarity about the castle and the way things work in the scope of royals. My mother had heard the rumours of Yeri and she confronted Agnes about it, she wanted to find out if it were true.Agnes words where, “King Ozar is a man who is disciplined and conservative. A woman cannot simply sway him like the winds do.” When I heard those words, I was delighted. If the king is a man who is disciplined, I can be assured that though he had an estate of harem women,
Alpha King Ozar.As I pass through the courtyard, I sense the chill of the night. It clings to the castle walls like rain on leaves. My mind, though weighed with thoughts, is pierced by the sound of laughter—her laughter. Yeri's voice floats through the shadows like a melody, unrestrained and untouched by the bitterness between us. I pause and my eyes settles on her figure just beyond the archway.Oh, has her date with Theodric come to an end already?However, this is different.She is walking a small puppy. Her laughter is soft, with one hand resting on her stomach as though to steady herself from the joy spilling out. What could be joyful with everything that has been happened between us? I scoff and my chest tightens at the sight. That must be another gift from Theodric? Of course, it must be. He showers her with trinkets, and this puppy is no different.The puppy, a clumsy thing, tips the rope in her hand and dashes off on its own, its tiny paws clatters against the stone path. I
Alpha King Dimitrio.After announcing her arrival, the dowager strides into my study with a gown that rustles against the stone floor. I lift my eyes from the paperwork before me for I am slightly surprised by her presence. Ever since the wedding, she’s kept her distance, not even so much as a glance in my direction or the castle. And yet, here she is. There must be a reason. The dowager never does anything without reason."Since you haven’t dethroned her, I’m guessing you have your reasons. King Magnus has our people, and therefore, Yeri has to hold the seat for now they have the upper hand." she begins, calculating as she takes a seat across from me. She lowers herself gracefully to sit, back straight with hands folded in her lap.I find myself admiring, grudgingly, how well she understands the situation. "You know it all," I say."Is that all there is to it, Ozar?" Her eyes pierce through me, and I can already sense she’s digging deeper. "What did Collins tell you that made you b
Queen Yeri.King Ozar storms into my chambers with a force that makes my hands freeze mid-stitch. My maidservants immediately scatter, eyes wide with fear, sensing the fury that has just entered. Only Kiesta remains, standing still like a sentinel beside me.I glance at her briefly.“Leave us,” I say, despite the feel of my heart thudding against my ribcage.Kiesta hesitates for a moment, flickering between Ozar and me, but then nods and steps out, closing the door behind her.A scoff escapes his lips before he even speaks, his anger radiating off him like heat from a forge. I stop what I’m doing, setting the fabric aside, and slowly rise to my feet, but before I can steady myself, he strides forward and shoves me back down onto the couch. I gasp, my breath caught in my throat as I look up at him.Ozar towers over me like the man that he is and his shadow casts me in darkness.“Explain yourself…” he growls, thick with annoyance.I press my lips together, drawing a slow breath to calm
Queen Yeri.“Her attendants are processing her for a night with the king.” Camille says and I huff, looking at her with an emotion I cannot give a name yet. I accused Ozar of being jealous but right now, the expression of my emotions is more than jealousy.“He kept me in the castle because he is jealous of my relationship with Theodric. Yet, he wants to completely wither me by spending a night with Mehera.” I lament, pacing back and forth in Camille’s room. Camille, ever composed, is pouring herself a drink as if my world isn’t on the verge of crumbling.“Do you think he’ll do it?” I ask, betraying the fear that’s tightening around my chest.Camille barely glances at me and her lips curls into a wry smile. "Fuck his consort? Yeri, before you came, the king was swimming in a harem filled with women of all shapes and sizes. Of course, he’ll do it."I freeze, my hand flying to my forehead, my skin is hot to the touch. I’m sweating, and my heart is pounding so violently I fear it might b
Alpha king Ozar.“What do you want me to do?” Clipper asks.I don’t know what to say. I scratch my forehead in a worried manner.“I am worried.” I confess.“So, what? You want to find a way to stop her. If she cannot go today, she will go another day. Plus, Theodric is a married man. You shouldn’t have to worry about him.” Clipper ensues.“But have you seen Yeri? The council officers who are all married men were gawking at her the other day. She is mischievous and is capable of wielding her hand.” I say to Clipper but he may never understand. I know what prompted me to push Yeri to consort, then leave her as queen. Was it when she stroked my manhood at the time where she was a consort? Or was it how she sojourned me in the tents? Yeri just has to make a smoke, and the rest will result in fire.“Okay, I will leave now.”“No—let there be a spy that has been found in the capital. Send gammas to the capital to search for the spy and because of that, no royal is to step out.” I say.Clipp
Alpha King Orizon.I enter the dining hall for breakfast at the grand table. To my surprise, Camille is the only one around the table. So, my eyes have no choice but to instinctively find her. Her gaze lifts to meet mine as I approach. The memory of last night hangs between us like a thick, unspoken cloud.Yesterday, she came into my bedroom, half-dressed and bold in a way I hadn’t anticipated. Her request was clear, her intent was undeniable. She asked—no, she practically begged—for me to take her. I wasn't expecting it. The surprise, the sheer audacity of it all, left me momentarily speechless. I didn't know what to make of it.In truth, I am still grappling with it now. How did it come to this? Where once I was sure of myself, confident in my desires, I now find myself adrift. The ordeal ended with me escorting her out—a conversation that I have no desire to revisit. But the question gnaws at me, persistent and unyielding: What is wrong with me? I have shared my bed with women befo
Queen Yeri.I glide into my private bedroom, feeling the soft embrace of the space as the door closes behind me. I kick off my shoes, letting them fall unceremoniously to the floor. The sensation of freedom spreads through my toes, and I waste no time in collapsing onto the couch, reclining in a manner that would scandalize the court—a manner entirely unbecoming of a lady.But I don't care. Not tonight.A smile tugs at the corners of my lips, slow and wicked, as I replay the events of the day in my mind. Satisfaction curls within me like a contented cat. The image of Ozar, his eyes locked onto me in anger, is a delicious memory. While I spoke with Theodric, I could almost feel Ozar’s far breath.There is something intoxicating about knowing I commanded his attention so completely, despite all his gruffness and reserve. How could I forget? I have done it so well against him in the past. I stretch out on the couch and I can’t help but chuckle softly to myself. The day has gone in my fav
Alpha King Ozar.I watch as she laughs softly with King Theodric. Her fingers lightly tap his shoulder, and the man respond with a playful tilt of his head. I don’t know what is funny but the both of them are seemingly lost in a private jest. I was quite surprised when he decided to get up and choose her side. It is a true fact that Lord Theodric is known well for his intelligence. Most of the council officers are quick to stand with him—it his influence and the quickness of his actions. By taking Yeri’s side, he has bought her a lot of followers in court already. However, I cannot help but be annoyed. Before I can dwell further on the scene, Clipper discreetly clears his throat, a subtle reminder to refocus. I blink, tearing my eyes away from the pair“Lord Daniel is approaching,” Clipper murmurs.Heaven only knows how long I have been staring at Yeri.I shift back to the stoic expression that I wear like an armor. Lord Daniel stops before me and bows. "Your Majesty," But before
Queen Yeri.I lay still on the bed, face buried in the pillows. I have been like this since last night—my despair pulls me deeper into the sheets, refusing to release me. I saw when the morning light crept into the room as Alice opened the windows, letting in a soft breeze that stirs the curtains but did nothing to stir me. Kiesta stands at the foot of the bed."Your Majesty, there is a court meeting. You need to get up and dress. It is the first time you will appear as queen to the officials of Orizon."Alice moves to the side; her voice is gentle but with a sense of urgency. "I’ll start boiling water.""I will pick out her dress," Beth adds, as if the right gown might somehow revive the queen's spirit.I do not move. And my voice, when it finally emerges is faint. "I don’t feel well.""No, you just feel hate. Don’t beat yourself, Your Majesty. He is dragon wolf blood; he’s quite powerful." Kiesta says, it is a subtle encouragement but I do not want to see Ozar’s face.Kiesta sits on
