Kai’s POV

“You’re done here already?” Surprise was evident in my features as I watched Levi pull his shirt over his head barely twenty minutes into our workout.

“Yeah, I have some work to sort and I can barely focus on anything else right now” He slung his towel around his neck as he responded.

“Paperwork is just as important as physical training?” I asked with an incredulous expression and he stood rooted in a spot starting back at me.

“I have to approve the weaponry for our next conquest” I noticed that he didn't answer my question directly but I nodded at him.

“Go ahead then” I waved him off and he started to make his way toward the door.

“I expect you to be back here to train before sun down, understood?” I said in between jagged breaths as I lifted a weight.

“Yes sir” he called out right before he bowed respectfully and shut the door behind him.

Levi might’ve been much calmer than myself, but he was also see through because his emotions somehow always showed in his attitude towar

    Kai’s POVTurns out that I’d brewed the perfect idea to remedy my arousal.“Stay here until i return” I ordered Cora and she rose her head to look at me before she reluctantly nodded in agreement.I rose to my feet and walked out of the room without overthinking it, I knew what I needed and I intended to get my satisfaction as soon as possible.My legs carried me toward Leila’s room but even before I’d gotten anywhere close to her room I picked up her scent and in a few minutes I saw her emerging from the library with an arm full of paperwork that she’d most likely planned to bring to my chambers.“Greetings Kai, I was just coming to find you” She spoke first and her eyes took in my appearance like she always enjoyed doing.“Good thing I found you first, come with me” I turned around and began to walk toward my room and I heard her heels click behind me as she struggled to keep up with my huge strides.We finally got to my room and I pushed the door open, it took another minute before

    Leila’s POVMy legs were stretched out in front of me on my dressing table while I stared blankly at my reflection and let my thoughts wander. It was evening and I’d been thinking about the same person since noon.Kai.I’ve always known that he’d be mine at the end of the day, but something about how his interest in Cora had lasted longer than usual had began to bother me. Kai easily lost interest in his playthings, and sometimes he could get weary of them within days and hand them over to me.Meanwhile he’d been punishing and tolerating Cora’s godforsaken attitude for over a month now and he hadn't still handed her over to me. It mostly bothered me because I’ve never craved permission to ruin one of his whores like I have with her and I didn't like how long he was making me wait.I couldn't pressure him because he’d be put off and snap at me, but I was tired of waiting for his approval to ruin her as I’d love to.There were a million things I planned to do to her especially because s

    Cora’s POVMy core was throbbing.I was ashamed at how much I’d enjoyed watching Kai fuck Leila’s mouth roughly while his eyes remained heavily focused on me. The worst part was that I couldn't tear my eyes away from the scene before me no matter how much I’d willed my mind to.Every single stroke captivated me and caused heat to pool between my legs like I was being controlled simply by my sexual urges. I had no idea how everything sexually inclined that he did appealed to me, it was becoming much more alarming by the second.I needed to regain control of my mind and body, and I needed to do so now.My hands were resting on the door knob of my room for a few minutes while I tried to steady my breathing and suppress my arousal and I knew that I’d need to refocus on my mission before my sexual urges ruined me.I pushed the door open and shut it behind me, my body had started to feel less on edge and I took a seat on the floor right in front of the door while I thought of a way to get ri

    Cora’s POVNina was the last maid to walk into the dining hall because she’d taken a longer route and I watched her through a creak in the door as she offloaded the bowls in her tray and placed them on the table cloth in front of Kai’s designated seat.As much as I’d tried not to get ahead of myself this time around, I was absolutely confident that our plan was rock solid and I’d soon be watching Kai’s lifeless body hit the ground in a few minutes. At the same time that the thought crossed my mind, I heard footsteps and voices approaching the dining hall and I immediately ran to hide behind a pillar to avoid getting caught.“We can leave for the conquest in three days time, they have a festival that'll pool most of the residents in one place on that evening” Levi spoke to Kai as they walked into the dining hall and he nodded attentively.Leila was dragging her feet behind them as she walked in and for some reason she closed the door slightly behind her. Luckily, I could still see her

    Kai’s POVI subtly thanked Leila for her help by nodding in her direction softly and she smiled at me brightly while equally modding to prove that she understood. Just then I looked at the door and caught a glimpse of an angry Cora storming off and my guts pushed me to follow her for some reason. I still couldn't feel anything, whatever I had ingested had closed my throat while Leila’s potions and spells had numbed my entire body to get rid of the toxins so when I rose to my feet I almost tumbled over but Levi supported me just in time.“Should I come with you? I can get you whatever you need” Leila offered standing up to follow me.“No, I'm fine” I told her and she slowly lowered herself back into her seat with a nod.I finally felt like I’d regained a substantial amount of balance in my leg after remaining upright for a few seconds and I walked out of the dining hall to find Cora. If my instincts were pulling me.toward her, then I knew that there had to be a concrete reason because

    Cora’s POVOnce again, a host of people had been privy to my nakedness against my will and there was nothing I could do about it. However, as humiliating as it was, there were other things on my mind other than how I’d face everyone once I was released.Like why was I locked up in the first place?Several thoughts were crawling through my mind as to why I’d been dumped in a stuffy dark cell, but even worse was the fact that there were insects crawling on my naked body and it was pitch black so I couldn't see them.I’d been thrown into the cell in the morning and evening was nearing but Kai hadn't returned to tell me my offense. I knew I’d poisoned him but I’d made sure that there was no way he could track it back to me and the only other person that knew was Nina and she’d never betray me, so it had to be something else, but what? Suddenly, I heard the locks behind the door rattling and I was a bit relieved that I’d soon get the answer to my question without racking my brain endlessl

    Cora’s POVI knew that serving Leila for a day would be hell but I had no idea that it’d be a number of degrees hotter than hell itself.“Scrub it again” Leila ordered me to scrub a flimsy glass statue of hers again for what felt like the hundredth time.I huffed angrily and bent over to scrub it again, she’d explained earlier that she wanted it to glisten until it was blinding and she could see her reflection through it. However, we both knew that it was impossible and she was simply trying to push me over the edge, but I’d already been punished enough by Kai to last me a while so I decided to keep my anger under wraps.When I was done scrubbing the sculpture, I held it up toward her so she could check if her reflection was visible.“Eww, what's this spot?” She scrunched her nose in disgust and glared at me while I searched for the invisible spot she was referring to.“Again!” She rolled her eyes and pushed it back towards me and I genuinely wished that her eyes would get stuck in th

    Cora’s POVLiving in the maids’ quarters was a nightmare.Everyone glared at me as I walked and gossiped in whispers as though I was the most abominable creature they’d ever come across. Luckily, I wasn't one to care about their hushed whispers as long as none of them had to balls to walk up to me and say any of that bullshit to my face.On the bright side, I was in the same room as Nina even though there were two other maids there since each room had four bed spaces and four people. That at least meant that she wouldn't have to sneak around and risk her life by coming into my room every now and then.“You look like shit, C” Was what Nina deduced would be an amazing greeting as soon as I walked into the room.“I feel like it too, fucking Leila and her childish tantrums” I kicked off my shoes angrily and blew a heavy raspberry for emphasis.On hearing Leila’s name, Nina sat up straighter in her bed and her eyes bulged out as she realized what must’ve ensued between us.“Shit, you fough

    Cora’s POV“Bitch, if you don’t get back in there!” Nina caught me just before I could sneak out to Kai’s chambers. “Man, you’re such a cockblocker,” I blew a raspberry at her and rolled my eyes in annoyance before stepping back into the room. “It’s bad luck for the groom to see his bride while she’s fully dressed and you know it,” she entered right after me. Maybe If I’d snuck out the second after she left I’d have met up with Kai for a quickie and I’d be back before she could come and spew rubbish myths to keep me away from him. “That’s a myth and whoever came up with it is clearly a hater!” I sunk into my chair, fully dressed in the most stunning wedding dress I’d ever seen all my life. “I’ll let you get away with that only because it’s your wedding day,” Nina chucked a purple flower in her hair to match her chief bridesmaid’s dress. “It’s my wedding day!” I squealed so loudly that Nina had to use both palms to block her eyes while smiling at me. I still couldn’t believe it.

    Kai’s POVLevi’s pain strengthened me even more, he had no idea.“In your next life, when you get an opportunity to kill your enemy, don’t be an egoistic bastard by waiting to organize a lousy ceremony first and just fucking do it!” I gave him the last piece of valuable advice he’d ever get.“C-Cora….” tears dropped down his face as he fixed his desperately pleading eyes on my woman.“You brought this on yourself, Levi. I’d never have grown to love or trust a man that could betray someone he’d sworn an oath of eternal loyalty to, it just meant that you could switch up on me someday too,” she surprised me by intertwining her fingers with my bloody ones as she spoke.“I could never ever betray you, Cora. You’re my fated true love, and it’s not too late to leave this deceitful monster and save me,” my blood began to boil all over again as I watched him plead with her.I gave him one fatal blow to the jaw and he dropped to the floor groaning.“Stop fucking talking to her, you dead meat!”

    Levi’s POVIt was today.The day I’d watch Kai meet an embarrassing end just before all of his power was transferred to my deserving arms. The gods knew that I would’ve been better suited to be blessed with his boundless abilities and fate had finally turned things in my favor.“Are you prepared for the ritual?” I practically whispered as I bent towards the elderly men that were meant to perform the soul swapping ritual.They dropped their hoods at the same time and nodded in a slow synchronized movement, “As prepared as the gods permits their servants to be.”Creepily, that was also said in unison before the covered their hoods again in one swift motion and walked off towards the lifted stage where Kai’s body would be placed for the public execution. As weird and disturbing as their identical movements were, it didn’t deplete my excitement about the execution ceremony.“Welcome all,” I stood to my feet as I began to address the hundreds of people in attendance.“You have come from lan

    Levi’s POVI knocked on Cora’s door again when I didn’t get a response.“It’s me Levi, are you in?” I called out.A few seconds passed and then I heard a door open that signified that she must’ve been in the bathroom when I knocked earlier.“I’ll be right there, give me a minute,” her sweet voice called out and I nodded even though she couldn’t see me.I tapped my feet on the floor as I waited for her, and then finally she pulled the door open.“You wanna come in?” she moved aside as she pulled the door open.Her hair looked a bit wet, her cheeks were glistening like they’d been oiled and she was wearing the most adorable little pink dress paired with white cute flats. Even before now, I was always eager to see what she’d wear every single day, but it was more fulfilling now because she was all mine to ogle.“Nah, there’s something I have to show you,” I grabbed her wrist and began leading her away from the room.“You mind telling me where we’re headed?” she finally asked after we’d ta

    Levi’s POV“Has she gotten the bouquets?” I asked the maid that I’d sent on an errand earlier.“Yes, sir. I delivered them first thing in the morning,” she answered with a bow and I waved her off.The morning of the day we’d overpowered Kai, I remembered watching him gather flowers after he’d thought I left on a tax collecting trip. I watched him make them into a huge bouquet and I was pretty irritated that he thought flimsy flowers would fix all the damage he’d done to Cora when he regarded her as an enemy.However, it had given me a brilliant Idea.I decided that I’d send a bouquet or more to Cora’s room every morning with a heart warming note just to remind her of how precious she was to me. She never failed to thank me for it at breakfast and it made my heart swell. I loved that I’d finally gotten the chance to woo her and I knew I’d do a far better job than Kai could ever have.Speaking of that monster, Kai, I was skipping breakfast to go and see him in the dungeon, to see how muc

    Cora’s POVI woke up in a pool of my own sweat.My eyes searched the room to see if the beast in my dreams had crossed into reality by some chance for an opportunity to continue torturing me, but I was lucky that that hadn't happened. The only other person in the room was Nina, not a grizzly monster.She was curled up into a ball on her mattress and she was buried so far into the duvet that I could only see her eyes and a bit of her forehead. And yes, she was crashing here because of the nightmares.The same horrid nightmares that had been recurring for a while now.After the first two nights, I’d told Nina about it because she noticed the heavy eye bags underneath my eyes and then she’d scolded me for not speaking up earlier before gathering most of her things and moving into my room.Oh, trust me, I protested. I assured her that it wouldn't happen again, but she gave me the ‘this isn't up for debate’ look and did as she pleased.Carefully, I moved off the bed and walked over to sit a

    Kai’s POVI could smell her, so I knew she was near.Her scent was refreshing and intoxicating and I wished I could drown myself in it one last time, just once. I knew I looked like absolute crap but I was still eager to see her, to look at her and search her eyes for any feelings of remorse, to find out if the memories we shared meant anything to her.As much as my determination to kill Levi for betraying me was one of my driving forces for staying alive, the primary reason that I hadn't let my spirit break was because I was desperate to see Cora again.Delusions aside, I was ready to break my chains and make things right with her.I tuned my ears to the sounds of her footsteps as she neared, heels clacking on the cemented hallway she was walking down to reach the torture dungeon.One might tag me as a helpless fool, but I felt a tad excited to gaze upon her stunning face again.“You look like shit,” was the first thing that left her lipstick clad lips as she pulled the door of the d

    As I walked behind her toward the dining hall, I couldn't help but admire every single detail that was in my view.Her body was clad tightly in a lovely purple dress—a color that signified royalty which was what she’d finally become now that Kai was put away— that made my insides ache as her full hips swayed in it, her legs were being carried in black heels that made her look elegant, and her hands were accessorized with pure golden bangles that matched the necklace she was wearing.The only thing that was out of place was the crystal bracelet that rested in between the golden bangles, but that didn't matter.All that mattered was that she’d dressed up for me.I remember how incredibly jealous I usually felt whenever she dressed up for Kai, especially because she was always so gorgeous and she still treated her like bird poop. I’d never make her feel that way, how could I even dare?“Have I mentioned how stunning you look tonight, Cora?” I asked as we finally stepped into the dining h

    Levi’s POVKai’s face? Priceless.The mere fact that he’d been cocky enough to assume that I’d be blindly loyal to him despite how much of a monster he was made it glaringly obvious that he was nothing but a muscled idiot. So, seeing the shock on his face when he realized that I’d betrayed him was far more rewarding than I’d thought it’d be.Nothing could've prepared me for how powerful and satisfied I’d been when I saw him looking raggedy and helpless in chains.He’d brought his miserable fate upon himself and I was beyond pleased that the moon goddess had chosen me to put him in his place. I strongly believed that everything was set in stone on the very day that Kai had unintentionally exposed his weakness to me.I still recall that day like it was an hour ago.Kai had been drunk to stupor after our first major win, we’d conquered an army of almost a hundred and fifty thousand werewolves with an army of only two hundred werewolves.
