Kai’s POVI was thinking about Cora again.At this point, it’d become a fucking plague—No, another curse that I was doomed to bear when I was still actively struggling with another. I’d tried to shove it deep down within me, down in the darkest parts of my being that strangely held an appeal for her, one that I’d deny until my grave, one that I’d never let her be right about even it it kills me.Hell, it's killing me already.The wildest part was that the one thing that was in a loop in my head was how she’d handled me when she took control, how she’d given me the sort of a pleasure that a man couldn't forget no matter how hard he tried, how I’d been the helpless party in out dynamic for the first time because of how experts she’d handled my cock.I wanted to end that loop of thoughts and take back the control from her, I’d never been the submissive party and I’d rather roam like an animal and live on grass than let Cora assume that she could take the reigns like she had without being
Cora’s POVAh, I felt like a warrior with renewed motivation as I stretched awake the next morning.By the time I’d returned to the maids’ quarters with my excuse of a dress, smudged lipstick and ruffled ponytail everyone was fast asleep and yet I’d still woken up before them. I think it was what I’d just discovered the evening before rush energized me.Normally, I’d be running off to bath and violently scrub off all the impurities from being touched by Kai and those degenerate Alphas, but this time around I felt like Kai was the one on the losing end and I’d gotten relevant information from the feast to give me a steady advantage over him that’d help me exert my revenge once and for all.The fact that I’d realized that Kai’s possessiveness was both his strength and his weakness made my heart flutter with glee. That was the one edge I now had over Kai; knowing that I was more than a common whore to him and more like a woman whose sexual prowess he’d gotten attached to without even rea
Cora’s POVI knew that look on her face all too well.It stemmed from having your insides stretched pleasurably by Kai’s length, feeling him hit the right spots on your walls even though he was only doing it for his pleasure, hearing his growls boost your ego and he goes in and out of you.One thing I knew for sure was that those growls were usually more strained and louder whenever I was on the receiving end of those rough strokes, but who’s taking notes?“You, definitely you” My wolf whispered menacingly and I quickly tried to detach from my dark side that was propelling the odd thoughts in my mind.Unluckily, there was no off switch for my dark side as long as Kai was orchestrating something sexual that appealed to it, so now my eyes were glued to the movement of Kai’s fingers as he roughly pumped in and out of the other maid that’d arched her back to give him more access.She was holding onto the table tightly and her ass clapped with every push and pull of his fingers while her e
Cora’s POVAs the crate of fresh vegetables made contact with the store’s floors, I groaned in annoyance and pushed my palms against my back in a bid to sooth my sore muscles. The head mate on had marched most of the maids out of the quarters to pack fresh produce that were brought to restock the main storeroom.Outside the palace was filled with several carriages that’d brought in the food and we’d been offloading it for almost an hour already and I’d had enough of it already.“Should we just make a run for it now? I doubt the head matron would notice our absence with how many maids she has at her disposal” I whispered in Nina’s ears as she dropped a case of oil.“I’m not risking my lunch and dinner by disobeying her, you can go ahead” She told me tiredly and I rolled my eyes at her.“Chicken” I put both my hands in my armpit to form wings and waved them as I imitated the clucking sound chickens made to annoy Nina.“Cluck.all you want, I became immune to that bullshit when I clicked
Kai’s POVMy back was pressed against my throne as Levi read out the order of the day and explained the crust of why I’d gathered the elders for a meeting.The guilty parties looked taken aback that I’d found out about their indiscretions, but what they didn't know was that Leila— the only member of the royal court that was frowned upon when she attended meetings because she was a woman— was the best mole I had and nothing devious ever passed under her nose without her catching whiff of it and reporting back to me.As soon as Levi was done, he looked over at me and bowed to signal that I could the floor before stepping back to his seat.“When I chose elders for my royal court, little did I know that some fools had wiggled their way into the selection of supposedly wise men” I rose from my throne and walked down the three steps briskly as I addressed them.“It’s been brought to my attention that a couple of you whom I placed in charge of some lands that were spoils of war have taken it
Kai’s POVI awoke from an evening name that I’d made Leila induce me into after I returned from saving Cora and I felt more refreshed than ever, my head felt like it’d found its factory reset buttons and all I had to do wash push them so that things would return to normal.And, that I planned to do, I just needed an external push of my own as well.The crust of the matter was that, as I’d woken up and stretched a few minutes ago, I realized that the only reason Cora is becoming increasingly interesting to me as well as managing to occupy my thoughts from time to time is because she was the only plaything at my disposal at the moment.Most of the times, I was usually rotating about five whores that I:’d bagged as spoils of war and handing them off to Leila to get rid of as soon as I’d gotten bored of them, —something that happened rather quickly— but this time around, it had been months but I hadn't gotten bored of Cora’s tantrums and disobedience enough to get rid of her.I strongly b
Cora’s POVI was impatiently waiting for Nina to return from the bathroom while I flipped the pages of a book I’d reread an unhealthy number of times. As I mouthed the words on a page in a bored tone, I heard someone enter the room but I didn't look up until he was standing right in front of me.When I rose my face to stare at him, I realized that he had the softest and kindest eyes I’d seen on a man since I arrived at Kai’s Palace, his eyes weren't heavily laden with lust as he looked at the card in his hand and looked back at me with slight lines forming on his forehead in confusion, even his handsomeness was subtle and innocent.It was refreshing to see, just to not feel threatened in the presence of a huge male, especially after the how the guards who’d dragged me into the woods had treated me.“Are you Mistress Cora?” He squinted as he read the envelope in his hands, even his voice was soft and kind.“Yeah, that's me” I grabbed the envelope from him and surprised myself by thanki
Levi’s POVI’d seen Cora falling from the stairs out of the corner of my eyes as I escorted the last batch of princesses from the hall to their guest rooms for the night, but I’d left them to the guards and sped toward her to catch her in my arms at the exact second that her back would’ve hit the heard floor.“Let me go, you!” She slurred as I slung her over my shoulders.Why the hell was she so drunk? I knew for a fact that Cora could hold her liquor so she must’ve intentionally gotten drunk.“I'll leave you as soon as I drop you off at the maids’ quarters” I assured her as I marched towards the quarters, careful not to upset her stomach by moving too much so she wouldn't hurl vomit on me.“You’re so boring, blah, blah, bl….ah” She said in between hiccups and I shook my head, picking up my pace as I saw the maids’ quarters come into view.“You’re drunk, Cora. Please save your strength” I told her as I walked toward her room, it was at the farthest end of the second block.“And you're
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. Kai had intentionally subdued the beast within him i
