Amaris."You're late." I said to Evelyn as I saw her approaching the maid's quarters, a flushed look on her face. "I have been looking all over for you. Where are have you been?" I called out, walking to meet her."I'm sorry..." She huffed out, panting softly as she approached me. "I have been in the Alpha King's chambers. I just left." She explained, immediately getting ready to work. I raised a brow, puzzled."The whole time? Did you spend the night there?" I asked and she nodded, glancing at me. I paused in my steps, furrowing my brows. "I thought he didn't allow people to do that? Stay that long in his chambers, I mean." I said and she shrugged, looking ahead."Well, he was the one who ordered it so..." She trailed off, color staining her cheeks. I peered at her for a while before shrugging, letting her go. "Okay, I won't press." I added and she turned to me, smiling."Thanks." She muttered sheepishly and we immediately settled to work, hurrying since we were already behind and I
Evelyn.After giving Amaris a piece of my mind, I immediately started on my way to the mines. Sore or not, I still had to continue my duties to avoid being punished since Kieran hasn't let me off the hook yet. I arrived there and immediately set to work, grabbing a pick axe and a box where I would be putting all the precious stones that I've dug out from the earth.Dust and grit clung to my sweat-soaked skin as the cavern echoed with the sound of countless workers laboring beside me. My hands were calloused and ky back ached, but I kept my focus on the task at hand. I had to appear as ordinary as any other slave in the mines, concealing my true purpose beneath layers of grime and sweat.After hours of monotonous digging, my pick axe struck something worthy indeed. My gaze shifted to the glimmering veins of precious stones embedded within and a smile hit my lips. My heart rate quickened as I quickly brushed off the dirt that coated the outer layers, revealing the magnificent piece of g
Evelyn."You really are sick." Amaris muttered as she placed the back of her hands on my head. I squeezed my face together, shivering under the covers. This is a pretense I had mastered over time. The feigned sickness was my escape, my ticket to freedom, however brief it might be. Amaris gazed at me worriedly as she knelt beside my cot in my crib, a concerned look on her face."Are you sure you'll be able to come to work like this? She asked and I slowly shook my head. "I thought as much. I'm going to have to come up with an excuse for your absence then. The last thing I want is for you to faint while we are the mines. I'll have to go without you.""I'm sorry about this." I murmured, sounding crestfallen. "Don't be. It's normal to be sick sometimes. You just need a few days of rest and you'll be right as rain soon. I have to go now. I'll make sure I finish early so I can come back to you." She tells me, a small smile on her face. I returned the smile as best as I could, watching as s
Alpha king keiran.The afternoon sun blazed high in the sky, casting long shadows that danced among the trees. Despite the warmth, an unshakable restlessness gripped me. The palace walls felt suffocating, and I yearned for the serenity of the forest. So, I took a break, shifting into my wolf after a long time of having it caged, and ventured into the woods, hoping to find some respite for my agitated soul.My powerful legs carried me through the dense forest, the canopy of leaves filtering the intense sunlight. Each stride brought me closer to the serenity I sought. The earthy scent of pine and the chorus of birds filled the air, gradually easing the tension that had knotted my muscles.As I sprinted through the woods, the whisper of the wind among the leaves and the occasional rustling of small creatures provided a soothing backdrop. However, my thoughts couldn't escape her—Evelyn. Her image consumed my mind, and with it, a mix of longing and frustration.I had been avoiding her, refu
Evelyn.The evening sun began it's descent in the sky, casting a golden glow over the palace grounds. I stood at the edge of the grand courtyard, my heart still racing from the events that had unfolded just moments ago, my body humming with a dozen different emotions that I couldn't decipher. The memory of the mysterious wolf, my savior, lingered in my mind like a haunting melody, one I could never shake off even if I tried.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my trembling hands. The strange wolf had carried me to safety, dropping me at the edge of the palace before disappearing into the forest once more. I had wanted to thank it, to express my gratitude for saving me from those vile men, but the words had caught in my throat, lost in the rush of emotions that flooded my being.Stunned, I watched as the wolf vanished into the depths of the forest, its sleek form blending seamlessly with the shadows. It was as if it had never been there, as if it were a figment of my imagination. Bu
Morticia.The air in my chambers felt heavy with anticipation as I paced back and forth, my mind consumed by thoughts of the impending doom that awaited Evelyn. Today was the day, the day when my carefully crafted plan would come to fruition. I had spent weeks orchestrating every detail, ensuring that nothing would go awry. But now, as the minutes ticked by with no word, a knot of worry tightened in the pit of my stomach. My steps echoed on the polished marble floor as I moved towards the window, peering outside at the sunlit palace grounds. Displeased by the look, I turned into my chambers once more.I glanced at the ornate clock on the wall, its hands moving at an agonizingly slow pace. How could it be taking so long? The men I had sent were skilled, ruthless even. They were supposed to be the instruments of Evelyn's death, the ones who would rid me of her presence once and for all. But as the seconds turned into minutes, doubt began to creep into my mind like a venomous serpent. Ma
Alpha king keiran.The moon hung high in the night sky, casting an ethereal glow across my chamber. Sleep had become an elusive companion, and I lay restless, tangled in the twisted sheets of my bed. My wolf, a relentless beast, clawed and howled within me, demanding something it craved with an insatiable hunger.Evelyn.Her name echoed through my mind like a haunting melody, and I clenched my fists, my body taut with frustration. It had been days, countless nights, since I'd last seen her, other than our recent encounter in the forest. A few torturous moments of pleasure and connection amidst a sea of resentment and bitterness and I wanted her once more, it's driving me crazy.But tonight, I could take it no longer. I sat up on my bed, donning on a tunic as I called on the guards outside of my chambers. "Yes, your majesty." One of them said as he walked into my chambers, keeping his head bowed. I wore my robe and cast a glance at him."Summon Evelyn." I ordered, my voice cold."Yes,
Amaris.The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a warm golden glow over the palace gardens. After a long moment of thinking and contemplating, I finally came to a decision. Warily, I contacted Ethan and he agreed to meet me today. Walking out of the maid's quarters to the palace garden, I could feel my heart racing, and I swallowed tightly, doing my best to calm my jittering nerves. I took a deep breath, feeling the gentle breeze caress my skin as I made my way towards the designated meeting spot. As I approached, I saw him waiting there, his figure tall and imposing against the backdrop of vibrant flowers. His soldiers were far behind me but he outshone them all, looking absolutely breathtaking. My heart skipped a beat and I could feel heart rushing to my cheeks but I held on to control and continued walking towards him. His eyes met mine, a mix of hope and uncertainty shining within them. I couldn't help but notice how the sunlight danced upon his features, illuminating the lines

Evelyn.The morning sun bathed the Alpha King's castle in a warm glow, casting a golden hue over the grand chambers. Today was the day of the long-awaited banquet, a celebration of triumph and newfound peace. I woke up to Kieran pressing kisses all over my face and jawline, his strong arms stroking my waist as he nuzzled me awake. I opened my eyes, blinking away the remnants of sleep as I turned to face him."Rise and shine, beautiful. Today is going to be long day." He murmured, pressing another kiss to my lips, I smiled, resting my head on his chest as I fought the sluggishness away from my body. "Good morning," he groaned, caressing my hair."Good morning." I whispered, yawning. "I don't want to get up from this bed. It's so cozy." I murmured, snuggling deeper into the covers. He gently pulled them away, revealing me once again. I wore a mock frown at that."Trying to back down now? Sorry, but I can't let that happen." Kieran said, getting out of the bed and carrying me along so he
(Months later)Evelyn.Waking from a splendid sleep, I found Kieran lying behind me, his chest pressed against my back and one arm wrapped around my waist as we snuggled together, our limbs tangled together. Blinking away the sleep from my eyes, I slowly turned to face him, making sure not to wake from his slumber.Glancing at his face, I let my eyes roam around his body, watching his well-sculpted form softened by the peacefulness of sleep. I couldn't help but admire the scars that adorned his body, each one a testament to the battles he had fought. His face, framed by tousled hair, looked so serene in the morning light. I could just watch him on hours on end, not taking my eyes off him.Unable to resist touching him, I ran my fingers down his jawline, feeling as the muscle twitched beneath my fingers, the slight stubble grazing my fingertips. Breathing in lungfuls of his scent into my nose, I felt a warm heat begin in my stomach and was surprised at how quickly I could get aroused b
Amaris.As the golden hues of the setting sun painted the sky, Ethan and I strolled through the tranquil gardens of the palace, hand in hand. The weeks that followed the reclamation of the kingdom had gifted us a semblance of normalcy, a peace we had fought tirelessly to restore. The fragrant blooms seemed to whisper tales of resilience, echoing the quiet joy that had settled upon the reclaimed land.Ethan's busy schedule had momentarily given way to the call of a splendid evening, and we found solace in a leisurely walk, away from the weighty responsibilities that had gripped us in recently. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blossoms, and the soft breeze carried with it a promise of calmness.In the beautiful surroundings, Ethan turned to look at me, a questioning look in his face. "Amaris," he began, casting a warm gaze upon me, "what are your plans now that the kingdom has been reclaimed by the Alpha King?"I paused, contemplating his question. The truth was, in the wake o
Alpha King Kieran.Days and weeks passed and some sense of normalcy settled in the kingdom. Walking through the grand halls of the palace, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. The kingdom had been reclaimed, and Evelyn was back in my arms, safe and sound. I could still remember when she was brought back, the look of fear that gradually faded away when she realized the Kingdom had been reclaimed. Her laughter echoed through the corridors as she reunited with Amaris, Ethan, and ultimately, me. Her safety was a balm to my heart, and the weight of worry lifted. With each step toward her, I could feel the genuine smiles that graced our faces, a silent celebration of our shared victory. I held her close, showering her with kisses and love, grateful that everything had turned out alright.Together, we set about cleaning up the castle and repairing the damage that had been done. The once chaotic halls were now filled with the sounds of restoration, as we worked tirelessly
Alpha king Kieran.Under the blazing sun, the battlefield stretched before us as Callahan and I faced off, the intensity of the daylight accentuating the gravity of our confrontation. The first snarl tore through the eerie silence, and with a surge of primal energy, we both shifted into our wolf forms. The transformation was swift, the rustle of fur and bones morphing into deadly weapons. The cold wind carried the scent of impending violence, and the courtyard held its breath in anticipation.The clash was brutal, a symphony of growls and the clashing of teeth. Callahan, larger and seemingly more ferocious, lunged at me with relentless fury. His attacks were calculated, each strike a reminder of the ruthless training we had both undergone in our youth. For a moment, it seemed as though his skill would be my undoing, his taunts echoing through the courtyard and grating my ears."You always were the weak link, Kieran," he spat, circling me with predatory glee. "A pitiful excuse for a le
Alpha king keiran.In the quiet aftermath of our intimate moments, I sat beside Evelyn, watching the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest as she slept. The dim glow of the cave painted soft shadows across her peaceful face, her beautiful expression a soothing balm to my weary soul. The healing touch of her love had worked wonders on my battered body, causing most of my wounds to heal quickly and the toxins that has been put into my body already flushed out and as I gazed at her, I knew that I had to fulfill my duty and reclaim my kingdom from the clutches of Callahan.As the first light of dawn crept through the entrance, casting a delicate glow upon her, she stirred from her slumber. Her eyes, adjusting to the waking world, met mine with a mixture of vulnerability and understanding. It was the perfect moment, and yet, the hardest one."Kieran..." She murmured softly, reaching out to hold my hands, her body still unclad and so inviting. I forced myself to stare at her face, a small smi
Evelyn.In the quiet hours of the morning, we still lay intertwined, our limbs tangled up and Kieran's arm draped around my waist. Soon I felt his fingers moving across them, his gentle breathing intensifying as he pulled me closer, peppering kisses all over my jaw and neck. I let out a soft sigh, pretending I didn't know what he was doing. He soon pulled my legs apart, palm cradling the back of my knees as he raised my leg forward and slipped back into my body.I sighed sleepily, stirring to the intimate feel of him. He laid his cheek against my soft one, his plea echoing in the dark cave. "Need you."With a subtle movement of my hips, I silently granted him permission. Kieran released a low growl and began to move. This time, the urgency had waned, replaced by deliberate and intense strokes.Floating between a haze of wakefulness and full consciousness, I gradually awoke completely, meeting his movements with a rhythm of my own. In the pre-dawn silence, there was nothing but the sou
Evelyn.It was all the prodding Kieran needed as he smashed his lips on mine, stealing my breath and mind away. I immediately wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him closer as I pushed my tongue deeper into his mouth. He groaned into the kiss, his hands tightening around my waist as he pressed my naked body to his chest. Electricity sizzled through me and I let out a soft moan, feeling my nipples grow taut.He pushed away to stare at my face, our breathing heavy as we stared into each other's eyes. I ran my hands through his disheveled hair, cupping his cheeks afterwards. His eyes burned with desire and so much more. So much love and tenderness. It was obvious he wanted to take this as low as he could, making sure not to hurt me."You're so incredibly beautiful, do you know that." He growled as he brushed my lips with his thumb. I nodded, smiling up at him."I know, you told me once before." I whispered, my voice soft. He let out a curt nod before he resumed kissing me, placing
