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
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
