Yesterday night was a disaster. The king was angry about something so his room was completely thrashed. I wasn't supposed to be here but there was a slight change in the cleaning table and of all days I happened to get the king's room today. I had to strip the bed, send the sheets to laundry, put new sheets and clear the floor. Men had come earlier to remove the heavier items the king had destroyed. I moved to the bathroom to clean and was distracted by the fancy bathroom the king had. As I was admiring the shower with my eyes and my hands, the shower began to spray me. Uh oh.. I didn't know where I had touched to put on the shower. I was a goner.
The shower stopped suddenly and that was when I felt a presence behind me. I cleaned my face and looked up into eyes as black as the night. I was too busy looking at his eyes I didn't notice his hands had grabbed my upper arm. He pulled me out of the bathroom and into the bedroom and I saw the man from the library. Damn it. I needed to learn his name. The mean beefy guy that grabbed me and pushed me roughly and I twisted my ankle as I fell to the ground. Great I was dripping wet and had a twisted ankle.
"We meet again half breed" I looked down in embarrassment. The mean guy that twisted my ankle looked at me with so much hate I almost felt disgusted with myself. I tried to sit up but winced at the pain in my ankle. The presence of an intimidating aura had the two men beside me stiffening. A third man walked in. He had the greenest set of eyes. I was lost in his eyes until I was roughly jerked up.
"Get the fuck out all of you" I scrambled towards the exit.
"Not you half-breed" not me? Wtf. I was going to be alone with this one. He took one step forward and I took two back. He trailed his eyes over my body and I began to feel self conscious. In a flash he was right in front of me with his left hand around my tiny waist. He leaned into my neck and sniffed my skin. He caressed my lower lip with his thumb and leaned in as if to kiss me and I closed my eyes, unconsciously baring my neck to him. A loud growl had me opening my eyes. He was at the other end of the room, his face more animal than man. His claws elongated and his canines extended. He looked as if he was fighting for control. His eyes flashing between pitch black and green.
"GET THE FUCK OUT" he growled. I still stood shocked to my bones. Fingers clamped on my arms and pulled me out of the room as the sound of something crashing was heard. Library man quickly rushed into the room. More sounds of things crashing were heard as I struggled down the hallway only stopping when I went into my room. My arms were littered with now purple bruises and my ankle was throbbing. My face became red in embarrassment as I took in my state. My dress was soaked through and my breasts visible. I had decided to go without a bra today. Library man, mean guy and green eyes must have seen through my dress. I took of my dress and walked gingerly to the bathroom. Why did the alpha react like that towards me?
***************************************************
I woke up to Althea shaking me. "You weren't there for lunch and I have instructions to take you to the healer to treat your ankle"
"Instructions from who?"
"Royal beta Valdus"
"I don't think I've met him though... How does he know I twisted my ankle?"
"I wouldn't know. He is waiting at the infirmary"
"That won't be necessary" I glanced up. Library guy?
"Beta Valdus" Althea bowed
"Leave us" she turned and left
"What did you do to make the alpha react like that?"
"Nothing. He just sniffed me and then he lost it" he looked at me skeptically.
"Here" he handed over a tube of something red
"That's lycan blood. Drink it and go to sleep. When you wake up your ankle will be healed."he turned and left. Lycan blood? Wtf this was hard to get back in the east. We were thought that lycan blood was addictive. It was used as an aphrodisiac or a healing element. Once you start taking from a particular Lycan, you can't take from another. It causes complications. Since it was impossible to get constant supply from a particular Lycan, it was avoided completely. Also, continuous intake from a Lycan, forges a bond with the Lycan.
I took the blood in one shot. It tasted bitter. I fought the urge throw up. Althea rushed in.
"What relationship do you have with the beta?"
"Um...there is no relationship. We've met a couple of times. That's all"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course..I didn't even know he was the beta"
"Be careful. Tongues will wag if word gets around that the royal beta came to the servant quarters to see you. Plus he has a mate. You wouldn't want to be on the bad side of beta female Nala."
"I'll go smuggle something for you so you can eat" she didn't wait for my response and left the room. A few moments later she came back with bread and cheese.
I woke up to see Matilda, a blue dress leaning over me. I felt disoriented as I woke up. Everything was too bright, too loud and I felt energised. My ankle was completely healed and the bruises on my arm were gone too. I felt completely different. Must be the Lycan blood."The matron wants to see you""Me?""Yes. She is in the kitchen."I grabbed my red dress from where I left it to dry and donned it. I followed the blue dress out of our quarters and into the kitchen. The matron was issuing orders and checking the different meals that were prepared. She glanced in my direction and motioned for me to come forward. I walked to were she stood and she looked me up and down."I received orders abov
He licked one more time and I winced and pushed his head away. "I'm sensitive" I sat up and blushed as I remembered how loud I had been. The whole castle must have probably heard me."They can't. This room is soundproof." Could he hear my thoughts? He nodded. He pulled me onto his laps and lowered me until my knees reached the marble floor. I reached for his slacks and unbuttoned. I reached into his briefs and pulled out his cock. I had never done this before but I heard a few girls talking about it. I gasped as I held it in my hands, it was hard and hot. The bulbous head looked purple and his tip glistened with pre cum I began to stroke my hands up and down his cock. I stroked from base to tip and squeezed the head gently. The sounds Thane was making encouraged me and I placed my lips around the head and began to suck.He grabbed my hair and pushed me down until he
I woke up cranky the next morning. I didn't get enough sleep last night and my back ached from the way I slept. Untop of it all, I got my period today and my stomach cramped badly. I slept in a bit late this morning so I missed breakfast. I took cleaning supplies and headed to the king's room. I knocked and opened. A naked girl lay sprawled on the bed. Great. Now I was pissed. She got up and yawned as she picked her yellow dress from the floor. I thought the king hated half-breeds but here he was fucking all half-breeds within the perimeter.I smiled sweetly at her as she exited the room. I stripped the bedsheet with anger and tossed them on the floor. God I wanted to fucking break something. Preferably the king's head. He walked out of the bathroom with sweatpants that hung low on his hips. He sniffed and looked around. I turned away from him and continued cleaning. He strode to me and turned me around.
I haven't seen Thane since he left the hospital. I've been attending to Jairus in his absence."Where is your father?""I'm not sure""How can you not be? Aren't you worried?"Not really. But you seem to be really worried" I scratched the back of my neck."I'm not. He nearly killed me. Remember?" Lies.. I was really bothered. Jairus chuckled.Jairus was different from his father. He was laid back, not so rude, at least not to me. And he smiled more. He was a whole lot nicer to me than his father ever was. Today, after I was through with cleaning the king's study and his room. I wanted to clean Jairus's room but he declined. He in
I woke up on a bed, face down. Extreme pain travelled down my back as I tried to stand. A firm hand pushed me back gently. I was turned around gently until my back rested on the bed. I took in the unfamiliar room. Kyros loomed over me, a small bottle with red liquid in his hands and a gentle smile on his face. I smiled back at him.He lifted my head gently and poured the substance down my throat. It tasted bitter. As soon as I swallowed, an intense burning started from my stomach upwards to my throat. I clutched my stomach as pain erupted. I screamed loudly. Hands gripped me firmly as I doubled over and threw up. Thick blood poured out of my mouth. The hands holding me left me and I felt the prick of a needle. The pain diminished gradually until I lost sense of my surroundings.I woke up with a pounding head and a dry throat. Two men were talking.
"Come in" Thane called out. Kyros stepped in. Jairus cleaned his mouth, giving me a smile and nodded at Kyros as he left."My king" he bowed his head in greeting."What do you want?""I came to seek your permission on behalf of Esme." he looked between us."Whatever for?""She wants to volunteer at the infirmary""No" my heart sank."My king...."Thane interrupted him "If that is all you may leave now." Kyros looked like he wanted to say more but he turned and left.I was fuming in anger. I angrily packed the dishes and stormed out of the room. My anger reduced before I entered the study again."Would you be needing anything your highness?" I prayed he heard the venom dripping from my voice. He looked at me for a bit and pointed to the couch."Go lay down."he looked back at his desk.
It's been a month since I began working at the infirmary and I've managed not to get caught. Lily has been transferred full time to the infirmary so I get to see her a lot. Kyros on the other hand has been extremely sweet and nice to me. But he didn't make me feel the way Thane did. He didn't make my heart flutter or beat wildly. I didn't feel sparks whenever we touched.He took be to a clearing today with a small stream. We sat with our feet in the water throwing stones."Have you ever thought of having a mate?" I nodded."A couple of times. But I wouldn't be able to feel the bond until I'm bitten." I laughed bitterly. "I'm not sure my mate would even want me.""Don't say that. You are a wonderful person." I smiled at him.
I trailed my hands down his chest and he groaned. My hands held the covers and he gripped them tightly. Sparks erupted in my body at the touch. He groaned lowly and flipped us over. He kissed my mark lightly and I moaned. He sucked earnestly against my mark as I wrapped my legs around his waist and bucked against me. He ripped the shirt of me and sucked against my collarbone.He took an ample breast into his hands and kneaded it. He flicked my nipple with his hands as he sucked on the other. My insistent bucking increased until I came."Keep your hands above your head. Don't touch me and don't cum until I say so." A thrill passed through me. The urge to submit washed over me. I placed my two hands above my head.He toyed with my breasts pinching, tugging and sucking until I was a writhing mess. He
Five years laterI groaned in annoyance as I tried so hard to find my offspring. Born as a Lycan with witch abilities, the child was a total chaos.Iraia Sparta came into the world without a fuss. The blood had really helped and the delivery was smooth but I've decided to wait until my body is ready before a bear another but Thane is insistent on getting me with child."Iraia baby. Please come and have a bath" I nearly cried now. My enhanced smell couldn't help me because she had the gift of masking her smell.I felt a comforting hand around me and I sighed. "What's the matter?""It's your child. You promised to warn her to stop this""I did""No you didn't. She's wrapped you around her tiny witchly fingers" I heard giggling and saw the little devil in her brothers hands."Thank you so much Jairus. May your children not bother you
Thane asked me to go up to my room with Nala and rest while they went to sort the problem. I didn't argue because I was in too much shock and I didn't want to watch any gory scene.Apparently Roman wanted me dead because I was a half-breed, Anstice wanted revenge because his daughter was 'killed' because of me. The maid was just a pawn in their games but she was going to be punished and the witch didn't want my child born.They spent most of the day in the dungeon, torturing the criminals. When Thane came back to our room, he was freshly showered and I was thankful because I didn't want to see blood on him.He joined me and pulled me into his chest. "It's over?""It's over" I kissed his hands and thanked him because I felt at peace now. There was no m
I could already feel his rage through the bond. His smell was the first I noticed before his blazing eyes met mine. He walked to me and quickly inspected me for any injuries.I touched his arm. "I'm fine" he nodded and went over to Noir and he filled him in."Who gave the Luna a drink in my name" his loud voice boomed. Everywhere was dead silent and it only seemed to increase his rage. He released is dominance and all werewolves and humans fell to the floor.Noir and Valdus seemed to be struggling to stay upright while the others groaned in pain. I whimpered as I was not left out. He turned to me and released his hold on them.He walked to me and carried me in his arms and out of the great hall. Valdus and Noir followed behind us.
"I want it out" want what out? I rubbed my eyes and sat up in bed. Kyros and Thane looked at me as they stopped talking."Want what out? What happened to me?" Kyros looked from me to Thane and to me again. Thane stormed out of the room slamming the door.Kyros cleared his throat and moved closer to me but still kept a safe distance."You're pregnant""I am? How did that happen? My heat passed""Not really. The first day is the most intense but the heat doesn't end on the first day"Ohhh. That was it? Thane seemed mad. "Is that why Thane is upset? He does want the baby?""The baby is a Lycan just like his father and you're human""But the mark..""The mark cannot change you completely. And even if it could it's still recent. Your body is not ready for a Lycan baby yet. It'll take a couple of years or decades before you're r
Things were going well. I was really happy. And in love. I smiled giddily as I put on my dress. After much persuasion Thane had finally let me visit Bronte's hut but I had to go with Noir.He stayed outside while I explored the inside of the hut. I didn't want to take anything out of the hut so I read the books there.I had found out a few things about my mother. Her name was Circe. There was no record about my father's name except that he was a werewolf. The book talked about a prophecy but I couldn't understand it.After three days, I was satisfied with what I had learnt about my mother and figured there was no need to search deeper. I remembered Bronte's words from the dungeon.I took one final look around the room. This was the last time I would be coming here. I went outside and saw Thane outside with Noir. This was the first time he had come here. He turned to me and smiled. I smiled and jogged to wh
"Do you still love her" I asked. He sat unmoving looking at me not saying anything. I guess I had my answer. I stood up and he held me back."I do" I nodded looking down at my feet so he wouldn't see the tears in my eyes. Hearing it made my heart break even more."But I love you too" I looked up at him and stared into his eyes, searching for any hint he might be lying. His eyes looked sincere."You do?" I asked unsurely."Yes. I love you. I love everything about you and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much I do" I choked back a sob as he held me in his arms."Don't cry. I hate to see tears in your eyes""I love you
THANE'S POVI hurried back to the cabin hoping I got there in time for her heat. Her scent was faint. I went to the room we shared and checked the wardrobe but her stuff was gone.I figured she must have left the cabin but I was worried. She didn't know the area or the way back to the castle.I mind linked Noir and he confirmed that Jairus had brought her back. meddlesome pup. I shifted into my beast and ran back to the capital.I sent Carlyn back to the castle while I went to the cabin. I went up straight to our room. When I opened the door, Carlyn and Esme were sitting together and didn't seem to notice."I'm sorry I kept Thane with me all through yesterday" Esme nodded but didn't say anything."It's just that yesterday was Catalina's birthday. goddess bless her soul. She loved to celebrate it and so even after her death, Thane still cele
The two days had gone in a blur with I and Thane spending time together. Although he still had to work but, it wasn't all the time.We played games to pass time and he thought me how to throw a knife. We talked about stuffs and he was extremely affectionate.I knew he had not forgotten his ex mate but I was certain he felt something for me. I know I did feel something for him. In fact I had fallen hard. I couldn't explain how I felt but I was happy whenever I saw him and felt butterflies whenever he smiled at him.I wanted to wake up beside him every morning and hopefully have a family together.I was starting to feel feverish but the heat had not yet started. I had a cold shower and put on a singlet with shorts. I went to the Kitchen but there was no sign of Thane.I went out on the porch and called out his name but there was no sign of Thane. I went back to the kitchen to get some water
When I woke up the next morning, I felt better. I wanted to go to Bronte's hut but Thane wouldn't let me. He kept on going on about how I visited the dungeons and how I had not gotten my punishment.He further restricted my movement and confined me to my room for a whole week.The day of my heat was three days away and I had become more antsy. Thane had suggested we go to his private cabin secluded in the forest.We were to leave later today and he had forbidden me from stepping out of the room because my scent had become stronger and more alluring and he didn't want to kill any male today.Still tossing on he bed trying to sleep, I heard sounds at the window. I looked downstairs and saw Lily struggling with somebody. I couldn't see the face of
