I stood close to the beautifully plush sofa directly opposite the large TV set where Attus sat. "What are you watching?" I asked, even though I knew that I would not know the show or movie if he mentioned it. My parents had been very particular about keeping me away from screens. The TV in our own mansion ahd been mostly for guests and Becky, before she became the favored of the clan.

My mother always use dti say that addictions should be formed in adulthood, not from childhood and it had never made sense to me as I grew up to hear it severally from her.

"Just this new series I have wanted to see for so long." Attus answered, not once taking his eyes off of me. I smiled.

"May I join you?" I asked, and he gestured quickly for me to sit.

"Of course, Clara. You are a part of the family now." He said, as I sat closer to him than I had originally intended. But after my body sank in and I felt the warmth of his body on mine, I did not want to have to bring myself to move away.

  • Betrothed To The Rogue King   A new pain

    I looked boldly and angrily at the Alpha King as I arranged my nightdress slowly; menacingly. He looked a tad bit uncomfortable, but the amusement on his face and in his eyes; that insufferable carriage and arrogant swagger, pissed me off more than anything else in the entire world. "Is that it?" asked, shaking from the surge of adrenaline in my body. "If all you wanted to do was to strip me naked in front of your entire family, should you not have at least told me about it so I could be prepared?" I asked, hating the fact that tears were welling up in my eyes and blurring my vision. Attus stood up then, mumbled some unintelligible words, and walked uncomfortably out of the TV room, leaving the Alpha King and I alone. "If it is not apparent to you that stripping you just now was a mistake? You might really just be as daft as u have always thought." He said coldly, staring me up and down with disdain. "Maybe that is what you wanted anyway, to show your damn tits to Attus!" His word

  • Betrothed To The Rogue King   Heart wrench

    The Alpha King walked out of the TV room in deep thoughts about his love for his half brother. He thought about going into his room and telling him the whole truth about Clara and her presence in the house. But at the same time, as much as he loved and trusted Attus, his Gamma's words kept playing back over and over again again. As he padded up the stairs, he decided against telling Attus about Clara. At least not yet. But he would apologise for the scuffle down in the TV room. He took a few deep breaths before getting to Attus's door, which was surprisingly open. But considering how much Attus loved his personal space and privacy, the Alpha King decided to just wait and probably knock before going in, but a sound caught his attention and held it. The sound was like that of a whiny little mouse or crying baby. His curiosity shadowed his sense of better judgement, and he popped his head gently into the room. The shock that he felt was like having ice cold water being poured on him fr

    The Alpha King shook his head, not trusting himself to speak. He did not want to say anything that might make his mother worry. He just needed her comfort and support. His mother held him tighter and went silent for a while. Then she had slowly started humming a soft tune that he had never heard before. It was a soothing melody that slowly calmed his racing thoughts and helped him drift off to sleep. It cooled his brain and soothed the pains he carried in his chest. As he drifted off to sleep, he felt a sense of peace wash over him. He knew that he could not continue to hide from his problems and that he would have to face them eventually. But for now, he was grateful for his mother's love and support. He felt safe and protected in her embrace, and he knew that everything would be alright in the end.The Alpha King's mother continued to hold him, singing her soft melody until he was fast asleep. And when he awoke the next day, he felt renewed and ready to face whatever challenges la

    I allowed myself to let my guards down following the insistent and consistent nice treatment from the Alpha King, and even Morrigan's exit from the castle. It was all a plan from the beginning, but I had not known that yet, so I had just gone along with it, being nice to the Alpha King, accepting his hugs and giving him the same. I caught him staring at me a lot. When he was not working, he spent more time with me. We would sometimes sit in silence even while he worked. I read many different books from the Castle's library during those days. The Alpha King literally interrupted with a kind word every time I tried to ask him what was going on. It seemed like all he had needed, was a slap to set him straight and bring him back to reality. He was always around me. Even when I just wanted to spend some time with Attus, he would just show up and ask to join in on whatever it is that we were doing. I noticed the brief glances loaded with deep, impenetrable meaning that passed often betwee

    I was having a panic attack. I snapped severally at the personal maid assigned to me. Martha. She was sweet and loyal. And at fifteen she was only three years younger than I was. I was always particularly sweet to her and we were more like besties than future Luna and personal maid. Martha devoted her entire life in my service. When I had recurring nightmares about Ethan and had flashbacks of almost being buried, she slept with me in my room. It was against the rules, but we kept our own secrets. Apart from Attus, Martha made my stay in the Castle bearable. "That dress is not properly ironed! Take it out and get it ironed!" I screamed, looking at my reddened face in the mirror. I could see the fear, tiredness and exhaustion on Martha's face and it made me feel very guilty for overworking her so that when she returned with a better ironed dress, I broke into tears, embarrassing her. The poor little thing did not know how to handle my outburst. "What if they are going to send me out

  • Betrothed To The Rogue King   A knighted night

    "And where do you suppose you are going with my fiancée?" the Alpha King's voice boons behind myself and the kind gentleman. I turn abruptly, happy for my hand to slip from the gentleman's. The gentleman turns to look at Xavier rather slowly. "Xavier… Of course, we meet again! And I must confess, you have quite the habit of showing up in all the places that I hope to never have to see your face." He said, walking slowly towards Xavier. I could tell from the sudden change in his voice and countenance that they were definitely enemies from before. The Alpha King laughed, but his eyes looked hooded and dangerous. "But you do know better than to touch what's mine, don't you?" He asked, looking very angry and dangerous. I moved along the walls until I found a sofa, and I sank gratefully into it as I watched the royal drama unfold. Sadly, it did not last. "She is not your property, Xavier! You have to learn how to treat women as human beings, and not as properties. She can decide for her

    As I reached out again to pluck a handful of blueberries and stuff my mouth with them, I heard the bathroom door open, and I turned naturally to see what was going on. There was the Alpha King, wearing nothing but a towel which he tied casually about his waist. It looked like an intense stare would bring it falling off his huge, well-chiselled body. I tried to breathe, but a large piece of blueberry did not quite agree with me. I choked. I gasped and made choking sounds as he ran over to me and hurriedly administered the heimlich manoeuvre on me. As his body jammed into mine from behind, I should have been concentrating onthe stuck blueberry and the fact that I could literally die, but I was enjoying the hardness of the Alpha's King's body. I took in the feel of his dick as it rammed against me from the back, until the blueberry popped out of my mouth with a loud belch. I covered my mouth with my face, feeling very embarrassed. The Alpha King stayed, rubbing my back and asking repe

  • Betrothed To The Rogue King   Bathroom

    I let the warm water glide, punch and trickle down my skin, sending shivers down my spine. One thing about me was that even on a winter morning, I would always only have cold showers. The water is extra cold tonight, because the rain I had smelled on the wind had just started falling, strafing the roof like pellets. The bathroom window above me was locked, so I reached up and opened it, letting the wind and sprays of the rain enter into the shower house. I stood for a while, before lathering over and rinsing my body off. I finally patted my body dry with a fresh towel I took off the towel stand, and applied a body night cream I saw sitting in the wall cabinet. It smelled extra fruity and delicious, and was absorbed easily by my skin, leaving me smelling really great, and my skin feeling very soft and smooth. I wore the nightwear that I had carried along with me to the bathroom, and then I stood at the mirror combing and packing my hair, covering it with the satin bonnet, and I was

    I nodded, feeling grateful for her words. "I know, but I just don't know what to do. I feel so trapped."Becky leaned in, her voice soft and reassuring. "You're not trapped, sis. You always have options, even if they're not immediately clear. And remember, the only way to move forward is one step at a time."I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me. "You're right. I need to take things one step at a time. And right now, that means figuring out how to make things better for myself."Becky smiled, her eyes filled with pride. "That's the spirit. We'll figure it out together. And if you need to stay here for a while, that's perfectly fine. You're always welcome here."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Becky. I don't know what I would do without you."We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing, and reminiscing about old times. And as the sun began to set, I felt a sense of hope, of optimism for the future. I knew that I still had a long road ahead of

    As I continued on my way, I realized that this was one of the most fulfilling experiences I had had in a long time. Helping to bring people together and create a sense of unity was truly rewarding.But my work was not yet done. There were still external threats to the castle, and we needed to be prepared for anything that might come our way.One day, as I was walking through the castle, I heard the sound of horns in the distance. I immediately ran to the walls to see what was happening.In the distance, I could see a group of raiders approaching the castle, their banners waving in the wind. The guards on the walls were scrambling to prepare for the attack.I knew that we had to act quickly. I raced to the queen's chambers to inform her of the impending attack. She quickly assembled her advisors and knights, and we began to prepare for the defense of the castle.The knights were ready and eager for battle, and the peasants were doing their part as well. They had been trained in basic c

    I'm thinking of leaving Xavier again."I said at the nail salon with Mila and Ellen, and they looked over at me with pity in their eyes." Don't look at me like I said I'll drink acid, girls!" I said, and they blinked."The Irene problem, huh?" Mila asked, and I nodded sadly."I don't want to resort to making her life miserable," I replied. "But I just can't take it anymore. She's always making snide remarks and trying to one-up me. And don't even get me started on the baby. It's like Xavier has completely forgotten about me and everything we had."Mila and Ellen exchanged a knowing glance. "Look, we get it," Ellen said. "But have you considered giving Xavier another chance? Maybe he just needs some time to come around and realize how much he's hurting you.""I've given him plenty of chances," I retorted. "But it's like he doesn't care. And as for Irene, I don't

    Attus put a comforting arm around me. "I'm sorry you've been going through all of that," he said. "But you're not alone. I'm here for you, and so are your friends and family."I leaned into him, feeling grateful for his support. "I know," I said. "But sometimes it feels like that's not enough. I feel like I'm trapped here, with no escape."Attus was quiet for a moment, deep in thought. Then he spoke."I know we can't change everything that's going on in the castle," he said. "But we can try to make things better, in our own small way. We can spend more time together, and with our friends. We can support each other, and be there for each other."I looked up at him, feeling hopeful for the first time in a while. "You're right," I said. "We can do that. And maybe, in time, things will get better."Attus smiled at me, his brown eyes warm and reassuring. "I believe they will," he said. "We just have to take things one day at a time, and be there for each other along the way."I nodded, fee

  • Betrothed To The Rogue King   The birth

    Months flew past like seconds and one night, Irene's loud screams woke the entire castle. She was in labour. Withy how dramatic she was, hse made life a living hell even for the Alpha King who'd had two children with me and never had to suffer so much with me. "I am dying!" She screamed, scratching, punching and kicking everyone and everything in her way. The midwife and nurses quickly arrived at Irene's chambers, trying their best to calm her down and carry her to the delivery room. It was a difficult task, as Irene continued to thrash around, screaming and cursing everyone in sight.Finally, they managed to get her to the delivery room, where she was immediately immersed in a large basin of warm water. Irene had insisted on a water birth, as she claimed it was the most natural and pain-free way to give birth. But as the contractions intensified, she began to regret her decision.The midwife and nurses did their best to support her through the labor, but it soon became clear that th

    Irene sneered down at the little girl. "I don't care what you meant. Just stay out of my way from now on, or you'll regret it."Luna ran off, sobbing uncontrollably, and Orion soon found her and asked her what had happened. When Luna told him, he became upset and ran off to find me. When he found me, he told me what had happened and I immediately went to find Irene."Irene, we need to talk," I said firmly, my eyes blazing with anger."What do you want?" Irene snapped, her hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly."I want to know why you slapped my daughter," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm."She got in my way, and I warned her to stay out of it," Irene replied, her voice dripping with disdain."That's not an excuse to hit a child," I said, my voice rising. "You could have hurt her. She's just a little girl.""She should know better than to get in my way," Irene said coldly. "I don't have time for her childish games.""She's just a child!" I exclaimed, my anger getting t

    "I'm sorry," I said again, my voice breaking. "I never meant to hurt you. I love you both so much."Luna and Orion clung to me tightly, their tears soaking my hospital gown.

Despite my struggles, I still had the love and support of my children, my family, and my friends. And as I looked at Luna and Orion's tear-streaked faces, I knew that I had to do everything in my power to make things right."I promise to do better," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "I promise to fight my addiction and be the best mother I can be."Luna looked up at me, her eyes wide with hope. "You mean it, Mommy?""I do," I replied firmly.

    I lay in the hospital bed, feeling alone and ashamed, and I knew that I had to face my husband and own up to my mistakes. I couldn't continue to hide from him, couldn't continue to avoid the consequences of my actions.As he walked into the room, I could see the anger in his eyes, the disappointment etched on his face. He stood beside my bed, his arms crossed over his chest, and I knew that I was in for a stern lecture.He spoke to me in a voice that was both stern and compassionate, reminding me of my responsibilities as his wife and as the Queen of our kingdom. He told me that my actions had consequences, not just for myself but for our entire kingdom, and that I needed to take responsibility for my mistakes.I listened to his words, feeling the weight of his disappointment bearing down on me. I knew that I had let him down, that I had failed in my duties as his wife and as a leader in our kingdom.But even as he spoke, I could see the love and concern in his eyes, and I knew that h

    As I awaken in the hospital room, I am greeted by the sight of white walls and fluorescent lights. The room was small, with a single bed in the center, and medical equipment scattered throughout the space. I felt groggy, my head aching, and my stomach churning. The events leading up to my hospitalization were hazy, but a dull ache in my chest reminded me of the intense emotions that I was experiencing.As I looked around the room, my eyes caught a glimpse of the ashtray sitting on the bedside table. I reached out and picked up the ashtray, examining the contents. It was filled with cigarette butts, and the stench of smoke filled the air. I realized that I must have smoked an entire pack of cigarettes, one after the other, in an attempt to drown out my thoughts and emotions.I remembered taking swigs from a bottle of vodka, the warmth of the liquid filling my stomach as the alcohol took effect. I felt numb and detached from my surroundings, lost in a sea of self-pity and despair.Tears
