Exiting through her door, Bash did a double take of her and cleared his throat, looking away. Amira ignored him and strolled the short distance to Rhys’ room, her bare feet cold only for a moment along the flagstone until the guards allowed her entry.

“Have a good night!” Bash called after her.

“Definitely not gay,” the guard on the right whispered.

“He won’t be after seeing how she looks.” The other responded.

Honestly, they were overreacting. Amira knew she looked good in her nighties anyway, but Rhys had seen her body plenty of times. He’d also been away from the palace all day. This would be brief so he could rest; she was sure of it.

The doors closed behind Amira, and her gaze slowly moved to the man whose back was to her, removing his bloodstained jacket. She released a breath, her heart galloping as she remembered the kiss from earlier. Rhys’ shoulders tensed slightly, aware of her arrival and possibly the rate at which her heart beat.

The moment Rhys turned, Amira’s heart rac

    Rhys was adamant about holding onto Amira’s ass while she leaned over him and started to inspect his injury. She almost rolled her eyes as his hands squeezed. Ignoring her desire and his, which was strongly prodding her, making it hard to resist such temptations, Amira started peeling back the eye patch.Rhys’ hands gripped a little tighter on her, and she knew this was bothering him more than he previously let on. Amira kept her features neutral as she gazed at his wound. A cut ran across his eyes, and the eyelid was shut, preventing her from seeing his blue eyes. But without seeing it, Amira knew it would be bloodied. The patch had been a temporary measure until the king returned to the palace. “What happened?” Amira questioned quietly as she began to gently press a warm, damp cloth to the area. “Why has the wound not yet healed? They used aconite or silver?”“Both,” Rhys breathed out. “I didn’t think they had access to either,” Amira murmured but didn’t say more when Rhys gave he

    Amira sighed against Rhys' lips, feeling the exquisite thrill run through her from the press of his erection against her lacy underwear, causing friction against her sensitive folds. Everywhere he touched, sparks tingled along her skin. The warmth in her chest added to the overstimulating sensations running through her body. They'd barely moved, yet Rhys' touch set her aflame with a needy desire. His tongue explored her mouth while his hands roamed her thighs. Amira couldn't help but relax into him, her breasts pressing against his chest as she kissed him back just as fervently. There was almost an urgency to their movements, their hands exploring each other. Amira was more aware of Rhys' injuries, though, no matter how much she was being swept away by this desire to be entangled with the Alpha King. All day, she'd been anxious about Rhys, and he returned in this state. She wanted to kiss away all the pain and embrace him tightly. It was a startling realisation that there was more

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Warm Bed

    Rhys began dressing, ignoring the pain shooting through his body as he watched his mate unknowingly pout. Amira grabbed the nightie from the side, but he playfully slapped her hand away. “Where are you going?” He leaned towards Amira, causing her butt to fall onto the bedsheets. She was a delight to look upon. Rhys’ hungry gaze moved along her body, wanting to mark every inch of her soft skin as his. Amira parted her lips to answer, but Rhys’ lips connected with her throat, his tongue and teeth enticing her eyes to close to the sensitive flesh being caressed and nipped at. His lips brushed along her skin teasingly until they stopped by the shell of her ear. His body encased her; all she could smell was him; all she could see was him and his powerful presence. His Alpha genes had her thighs tightening together for some form of relief. “I want you to stay here, naked, and keep my bed warm until I get back,” his whisper caressed the nerve endings of her core, and she found herself gulp

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Sex Dream

    Amira stirred to the tingling sensation between her legs. Her brows tugged together, her eyes still shut. She was in a state of sleep and awake, but confusion kept her body still. Yet, she was aroused. She could tell from how sensitive the sheets felt against her naked skin. The brush of the silk rubbed at her tightened nipples. Not only that, but her core was tingling with a desire that made her lips part with a gasp. A pressure, slow and teasing, brushed through her folds and flicked at the top of her clit, making her head tip back. A low groan left her as the sensation continued, building her up until she wanted more. More sensation, more pressure. Just more. Was she having a sex dream? Slowly, Amira became more aware of the rest of her body. Her legs were spread wide, with something heavy keeping them down. She bit her lip as she realised what was between her legs and how their technique changed. A light nip at the top of Amira’s clit sent her over the edge, an edge she didn

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Aches and Pains

    ~ Amira ~With a deep sigh, Amira covered her eyes after seeing the casting shadows of candlelight in the bedroom she’d fled three nights before. Since Rhys didn’t tell her what she wanted to know, the she-wolf had been avoiding him. Bash had kept her company, attempting to force the pair together, and she even ran into Alpha Evander. The hybrid appeared pissed, his ire aimed at her and Rhys, though she did not understand why. When she attempted to lose him and sit in the gardens by herself to think things over, he followed and asked why she was avoiding the king. Now, she was back in Rhys’ body.Days without seeing it, without seeing him, and the Moon Goddess switched them once more. It would be nice to remain in her body, but Artemis deems this little hiccup worthy of switching them back. “Rhys, Harrington has been imprisoned under Amira’s orders when she was king.” Alright, his Beta really deserves a holiday. This was early, even for Amira. “The maid Bash was screwing has now fou

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Aching Body

    ~ Rhys ~ Standing by Amira’s side, Rhys was feeling incredibly down. It was like a rain cloud hovered over him; everything seemed gloomy even though the day was bright, the sun shining through the multi-coloured windows of the Great Hall. Rhys’ body ached, particularly his breasts. The corset was not helping. He asked Lyra, one of Amira’s maids, to loosen it, yet it still felt incredibly restrictive, and it was almost like overnight Amira’s breasts had grown. He wouldn’t complain if only he was in his body not feeling like this. It was awful. The turquoise dress chosen looked brilliant against Amira’s skin tone, yet he felt somewhat bloated and with some discomfort in his back and stomach. Due to this, Rhys could not focus much whilst Amira acted out his duties as king. Shifting a little from one foot to the other, the boots uncomfortable, everything uncomfortable, he watched as Amira followed the process of making Alpha Evander a Duke. There was a little pride swelling in his ches

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Cramps!

    ~ Rhys ~Amira sighed, turning to face him, but the Alpha was already nursing another drink, his head flopped on the back of the sofa, his hand rubbing at the side of his head. Watching Amira control the situation put him at ease, but it didn’t stop the pounding in his head, the ache in his breasts or the sudden pain in his stomach. They should talk, but how could he when he was in pain?!“Amira…” He hissed through clenched teeth. The rogue sat beside him, frowning at his pained expression. Goddess, his lower abdomen felt as though it was being squeezed, and whatever grip it had wouldn’t release. On top of that, his body ached like he was unwell like he was feverish; wait, he did have a fever! He was so hot! Rhys shifted in his seat after the pain transferred to his lower back. “What is wrong with your body?!” He snapped, eyes flicking open as he glared at her. Amira frowned, watching him with confusion. “I haven’t done anything that would make me unwell. I rarely fall ill…” Like m

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Rhys' Period (1)

    ~ Rhys ~Although Alpha Evander was the one to order his Beta and Bash to stand outside their door while they made up, the pair still moved aside when Amira pushed open the door, holding his hand, announcing they’d made up and wanted to return to her room. Now, the pair were in Amira’s room, where she led Rhys to the sofa. He eyed the bed but decided it was a little pathetic of him to go straight to bed when he wasn’t even ill.Amira and other women dealt with this each month. He knew from the servants that no woman had time off. So, they especially never remained in bed, put up with these symptoms, and continued to work. Ugh, but how?! It was absolutely horrid! And to think he wasn’t even… you know… bleeding or anything yet!While Rhys curled in on himself, Amira handed him the blanket from the bed before leaving the bed chamber. He thought she’d had enough of his grumbling and moaning and left him to it. But she returned after some time with a large leather water pouch and handed it

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Epilogue

    Xenos was executed within a week of returning to the palace. Amira was there but didn’t watch the execution after it reminded her of her fathers. The weight Amira had been carrying around lifted even at the expense of Zayyan’s father’s death. Zayyan wasn’t there to witness it due to the new position he held as the only leader of the rogues. Alpha Dashiell’s name was also cleared, and his name and pack reinstated, though there was none to accept it besides the last living pack member, Amira Desai, their Luna and Alpha Queen. The land that had been abandoned and weakened the kingdom since was given to the next Desai heir- Amira- who wanted to give it to Zayyan. Her cousin refused the offer and remained in the Wildlands, not wholly trusting the government or the rogues and remaining neutral within the ongoing politics. After Amira’s coronation and introduction to the kingdom as their new Queen, the rules were established for packs and rogues to coexist peacefully. Zayyan ensured his p

    On the other side of everybody fighting and almost finishing their fight because of the lack of numbers or will to continue hurting and killing each other, Amira flung one of her blades at Xenos’ face.Xenos blocked with his metal-cuffed arm and grinned as it bounced off. “Cheap shot, Amira.” He jumped forward and kicked through her blocked arms and square in the chest. Air rushed out of her lungs while her body flew back; instead of falling to the ground, though, Amira pushed off with her hand and flipped back until she was on her feet once more. Amira dusted her shirt down casually. She was in her usual black assassin attire today, minus the mask and cloak, but her black leather corset was thicker, more like a layer of armour. That kick still hurt, though, and she knew there would be a bruise. “I didn’t think you still had any moves, Xenos,” she grinned, pulling two daggers from within her sleeves and prowling forward.“Watch it, kid,” Xenos warned, green eyes so similar to her fat

    “Not a chance,” Xenos sneered and signalled for those behind him to attack. Amira’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect him to use them. Their numbers were so much lower than theirs.‘Well, should have expected that,’ Nisha commented.Frowning, Amira took a step in Xenos’ direction, but something flashed out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and blocked an air assault by none other than Nova. At the same time, Caz had attacked Rhys. “Shit,” Amira growled, glancing at her uncle, who began stepping backwards as his men charged forward. “I didn’t want this!”She didn’t want them fighting among themselves. Asking Xenos to fight was the perfect chance for her revenge and to stop what was now happening!“Sorry, Mira!” Nova attacked again, slicing her claws towards Amira’s face. But she was far too slow for Amira. “Is there a reason you are trying to kill me?” Amira asked in a bored tone as she blocked another strike from she-wolf and uppercut her chin. Nova stumbled backwards afte

  • Cursed to be my Mate   For The People

    At the Alpha King’s words, the rogues turned to face him. All were shocked to see Rhys there. Even those who didn’t know what he looked like could tell who he was from the power emanating from him. Some wanted to bow their heads in submission to him even though they were rogues.“I am Alpha King Rhys Quintrell,” Rhys announced. Some of his guards remained behind him, looking onward like they weren’t in enemy territory. “And this is not a trap. I do not have an army outside these doors nor wish to destroy you all. Amira is my mate. What she says is true. I want to improve our land, how people live, the system that cruelly acts against rogues…” Rhys walked forward, and the crowd, in their shock, surprisingly parted ways for him. Amira shared a glance with Zayyan when her mate walked past Caz, who pushed Nova from him and stepped towards the Alpha King. But another rogue held him back. Caz growled, trying to get out of his hold. Everyone knew about Caz and Amira’s past relationship. C

  • Cursed to be my Mate   The Wildlands

    Amira hadn’t thought about the Wildlands since she’d been body-swapping with Rhys and stayed in the palace. Of course, she thought of the people, but she didn’t think ahead when she would return to the place she’d once called home. Now, some of her memories felt a little tarnished, a bit icky because of how she came to be with her uncle. Now, after a few days of travelling, they were almost in town. The building where the guild was located stood out the most compared to the other structures. Or perhaps it only stood out to Amira because it was where she grew up. Amira’s little party mainly were on horseback, except for a few who remained in their wolf form. They weren’t a large group. That would mean getting spotted quicker.They weren’t large, but everyone was a skilled fighter. Rhys was beside her as well, wearing his usual expensive outfits. She didn’t want him to dress down, not now when she needed to convince others that they were working together. That was the priority of the

  • Cursed to be my Mate   You're Not Alone Anymore

    The meeting was tenser than Amira had anticipated. Yet, through the mate bond, Amira could sense Rhys held no hatred towards Zayyan. After spending time in Amira’s body, he saw Zayyan as a close friend already, but her cousin had no idea about their body switching. To him, this had been the first time they’d officially met.Alpha Evander had also been extremely grumpy throughout their meeting. Once they came to a resolution, which didn’t take much, the hybrid was first to leave. Elixora would distribute to everyone, not just the rich, and the rebels who had overthrown Willowbrook would remain in charge under Zayyan’s care. Amira didn’t trust anyone else. Alpha Evander agreed that his pack would back off, but if there was any foul play, then they would step in and take it back. Although Evander was eager to leave and find his mate, he took the meeting seriously. It still involved his pack, and although he looked fierce and icy, the Alpha cared for his pack members. Not just his pack m

    “Amira? What’s wrong?” His voice hardened, glancing behind her. “Come inside. We’ll talk there.”Amira nodded once and followed. “Zev, stay outside,” she ordered nonchalantly.“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Luna,” Zev replied, and his words made her freeze. Zayyan stopped walking, and he looked over his shoulder at her wide-eyed.“Luna?”Amira cocked an eyebrow. “Like I said. Much to discuss. Sure thing, Zev. Come in. But everyone else stays outside.” She’d prefer Bash, but this would put Zev’s trustworthiness to the test. Would he tell others what was discussed between Amira and Zayyan before the meeting?The door closed behind them, and Amira went straight to the sofa, eyes flicking across the room as was her usual routine in any room. Zev did the same, but he was her guard. Flopping down on the sofa, Amira waited for Zayyan to join her. She felt impatient, needing to know if he had been deceiving her, yet at the same time, she wanted to keep this comforting illusion up a while longer

    Slamming the journal shut, Amira glanced at the door after Beta Baltir announced Zayyan’s arrival at the palace through a mind link. Her mind still spun with the information she just learned from the journal. It had everything, every little detail about what happened. The later entries revealed the King’s regret and his attempts to find Amira to give her the life that was taken away from her. Theon knew this would never make up for his rash decisions, the loss of the lives of his closest friend and a powerful pack that guarded the kingdom well. But he couldn’t let his friend’s daughter die on the streets. Obviously, Amira was never caught. She thought everyone was out to kill her and remained well-hidden until she made it to the rebels. ‘Where is Zayyan?’ Amira mind linked the Beta back, rage swarming her chest and tightening her stomach until it felt sick. ‘Where is my cousin?’ she almost spat. Her claws started growing, and she had to breathe slowly to return them to normal. ‘He

  • Cursed to be my Mate   No Excuse

    The moment Rhys felt pain shoot through the bond, he left the old goats to their fighting and sprinted in his mate’s direction. Amira was injured?! And inside the palace where she should be safe!The pack mind link was loud, the urgency in his pack member’s voices cutting straight through his mind. They knew Amira had been attacked? He hadn’t crowned her yet; how did they know they had a Luna and Queen? Obviously, they’d met her at the banquet, but he hadn’t officially introduced her as such yet. No, something happened earlier. Rhys remembered this mechanism that seemed to click into place. A tension that nobody had been aware of within the pack faded away, and now he knew it was because Amira had joined them. They knew their Queen had arrived and were rushing to her side.He’d entered the library to discover Amira fought an assassin and was interrogating him, not at all bothered by the state of her right side. Blood was seeping through the side of her torso. For a brief moment, Rhys
