Alpha King Ozar.“I am sorry for walking in—”“It’s not your fault. It’s mine. That was a bad judgement on my part.” I say, completely embarrassed at the scenario at hand.“Of course…” Mehera says and I turn to walk away.“Will it always be like that?” She asks and I stop for a moment.“What?” I ask.“I—thought you and Yeri hated each other. At least, I thought you did…” She says.“I made her my consort for a reason.” I state and Mehera raises her eyes to look at me.“But still…she is the sister of your enemy. You are not supposed to be granting her wishes, here and there.”“So, why did you tell her about the amendment?” I ask and she blinks repeatedly.“I—”“I thought it was right for her to know.” Mehera says.“But it’s not right for me to grant her wishes?” I ask and she is quiet for a few seconds, I am giving her time to think and consider her words.“When I was given the honor to be your queen, I accepted, knowing you had an estate full of harem women whom I would share with you.
Lady Mehera.“My lady, are you okay?” My maid servants asks and I take a deep breath, looking at the cup of tea in front of him.“Where is Agnes? She said she would be here, didn’t she?” I say, impatiently, glancing over at my shoulder…everything is irritating me after what I saw between Yeri and his majesty. The man hasn’t even held hands with me, I have not caught a seed of affection in his eyes towards me. Yet, he is a man caught in his feelings, enough to go under her skirts to pleasure her. How long have they known each other? What does she tell him that would cause him to do such?“My lady, you should at least eat something—” another maid servant says but their words have no impact on me.“My lady, Agnes is here!” The third maidservant says and I rise on my feet in haste.“Lady Mehera.” Agnes says, curtseying and I exhale.“Did he meet her last night?” I ask, knowing that my heart cannot bear the answer if it happened.“No, I stopped him.” Agnes says and I place a hand on my che
Princess Yeri.Mehera walks past me and I squint my eyes in confusion. Just what is she going to? Regardless of what it is, I stay behind, feeding the rest of the parrots.“Consort Yeri?” Gladys says, coming back with together with Alice and another bowl of food for the parrots but I dust my hands. I think I am done for the day.“I think I am done for the day.” I say, turning to the girls.“The king back is to the castle. I saw him on my way in.” Gladys says in glee and Alice rolls her eyes, she is being protective over me.“I see.” I say, realizing he must have been the one that Mehera saw and rushed to meet.“I have to go. Agnes would be needing me.” Gladys says.“Thank you, Gladys.” I say and she leaves. I look over to Alice who is pouting and I scoop a bit of bird food and I gently toss it unto her face.“Princess!” She stomps and I chuckle.“Why does he have to be your mate?” She asks.“Maybe when you die, you can ask the moon goddess for me, huh?” I say, dusting my hands and wal
THANK YOU TO MY NEW READERS. PLEASE DO COMMENT AND TELL ME IF YOU ARE ENJOYING THIS STORY AND HOW MANY CHAPTERS YOU WOULD LOVE DAILY. Alpha King Orizon.“I will make his majesty’s plate.” Mehera says, following behind me into my chambers.“No, Lady Mehera. Why don’t you help the king take off his clothes instead? I will take care of the plate.” Agnes says and Mehera nods.“I can do it myself.” I mutter.“I know you can but I want to.” Mehera replies. I grant her permission. With a gentle tug, she grasps the hem of my shirt, lifting it slightly. Mehera pulls the shirt over my head, exposing my tanned skin and scars that decorated my torso. I can feel her breath hitch momentarily, as she marvels at the way my muscles flexed beneath her fingertips.As she lowers the shirt to the side, Mehera continues to look at me and I take a step back to pick another shirt.“So many scars.” She whispers.“Yes.” I utter, putting on the next shirt and looking into the mirror. “How was your meeting? I
Princess Yeri.Draped in the softest fur of the king’s chamber, I lay still as a statue. My form is a perfect curve against the opulent bedding but my eyes, however, are twin pools of dark, watching intensely. Midnight has descended upon the opulent chamber, casting the room in a subdued glow from the silvered moon filtering through sheer curtains.Through that, I can see the rhythmic rise and fall of the King Ozar’s chest. Quickly, I ease my body free from his embrace. My movements are as fluid as moonlight on water—one would think that I have done this before. I slip into my nightdress; a gossamer cloud of silk and I throw a coat around my shoulders.As I descend from the huge bed, my bare feet made no sound on the thick carpet. I look back at Ozar and I wait for a moment. He is in-depth in sleep because he forfeited a good amount of energy during our act. I tighten the ropes of the dress around my waist and I begin to make into his study. The scent of musk, sandalwood and leather f
Alpha King Ozar.“Yeri what?” Agnes asked but I know she got it the first time. I have never had to repeat myself to her, she is simply choosing to pretend like she didn’t hear me this time.“I want you to gift her a number of silks, gift her servants’ silks and jewellery too. I want her to have a personal carriage, one made just for her. Also, I want to gift her one of my horses, the white one. And one more,” I say, taking off a token ring from my finger.“Your majesty, that is your war ring.” Agnes says.“I know that. Give it to her.” I say, placing the ring in Agnes’ palm.“Yes, your majesty.” She responds and I head into the council room.This time, I am surprised to find Collins as a part of the council.“What are you doing here? This council is for people that are committed to serving the throne." I say, hissing at him. The last time we spoke, I spun his neck and I had his life in my hands. If I ever wanted to kill him, I could have done it so easily.“He is here to ask for your
Princess Yeri.I, Camille, and Mehera are standing together in the grand hall. Our eyes sweep over the vast space that would soon be transformed for the twin’s birthday celebration. The room is adorned with high, arched windows that lets in streams of golden sunlight, illuminating the intricate tapestries and marble floors. I am dressed in a light blue gown and my hair is styled in soft waves, a delicate circlet rests atop my head. I gestured with my hands, envisioning where the decorations and tables would be placed.Camille is standing to my right, she is wearing a deep green dress that complements her auburn hair, which was braided elegantly down her back. She has a keen eye for detail, pointing out areas that could be enhanced with floral arrangements and colourful banners. Her expression was focused, and often times, we burst into laughter as she continues tease me about this morning. She won’t let me forget about it even if I wanted to.Mehera is on the other side of the hall, i
Alpha King Orizon.“Speak.” I say and the servant girl jolts.“Yes, your majesty…. I was told to clean my lady’s jewellery earlier today. I took it to the Sterling Chamber. While I was cleaning, I left the table for just a second to get a glass of water and when I got back to it. I saw Alice, standing there. I did not think anything of it until I counted the jewellery and I saw that at least five were missing.” The maidservant of Mehera says.I am on my ornate throne, radiating authority. My expression doesn’t match the gravity of the situation. Beside me is Agnes, the ever-watchful attendant. Lady Mehera is silent, her demeanour is masking the turmoil of the current scandal. Yeri stands nearby too, her face is calm and she keeps a protective eye on her accused maidservant. When Agnes told me that Yeri decline my gifts, it bit my ego—it made me wonder why? How dare she? Was it beneath her, has she received more than that, why did she see my fervent desire in the manner of my gifts? T
