His Forbidden Mate 6: The invincible trap
Kailani Zaine’s POV Seven years later, At the Desire Parlour, Lurds. The capital city of the West Region, The kingdom of Wahala... “The girls are for you to see, not to touch, Marc. Learn the difference. If you as much as lay your hands on them without their consent again, I will ban you from the Desire Parlour. Do you understand?” I ask the middle-aged man still nursing his bruised jaw from the fist of my guard. He was at the care unit of my parlour. This was where those hurt during physical altercation came to get treated. He nodded vigorously, “Yes mistress.” I smiled at him. “Good.” my hand lifted to stroke his face, and I ran it over his jaw and down his neck, earning a thick moan from his throat. “That’s my good boy. Did you spend enough money tonight?” I asked, watching his eyes shutter as he tried to enjoy my touch for as long as he could. “I spent all I had, mistress.” His lashes fluttered and his gaze locked on mine. He meant what he said in honesty. My hand danced o
His Forbidden Mate 7: The tight corner
I got to where he was and he grabbed my wrist, pulling me down so that my slightly exposed ass pressed on his leg. Despite the nervous feeling, a part of me felt excited to see him again after so many years. I never got to thank him for saving my life all those years. I could have thanked him seven years ago, but I couldn’t trust that he and his friend weren’t out for their own selfish interests. It wouldn’t be the first. Besides, they were going to get rid of me the next day, and I knew I had to be a step ahead. Perhaps I would finally get the chance to thank him this time.I leaned in and my lips placed against his for a slow kiss because I was unsure how he wanted the night to go. He was calculating and I highly doubt my seduction would make him into a fool like the other men.Or could it?He responded to my kiss, sighing. I snaked my tongue into his mouth as the kiss got hotter and grind myself on his leg.He pulled back and sucked his teeth, bit into his bottom lips, and his eyes
His Forbidden Mate 8: No way out
His words sank into my ears and weakened my being from the inside out. He had everything planned out from the very beginning, and he looked anything but bluffing. With the last strength in me, I rose from his lap, taking myself to the other chair across from him as fast as I could and standing behind it. "And you thought that after revealing your mission here, I'd still want to fuck you." His gaze stayed on me, hot, calm, watching my every move. "You don't have to like me to fuck me, mistress. You just have to want to fuck. Angry fucking is one of my favourites." I felt shivers run down my spine and it was because of his words and the fact that his eyes stayed on my body while he spoke. I hated the response my body gave, even when the seed of dislike had been sown for him. This was the full moon bringing alive different emotions beyond my control. I turned to him, my eyes flaring. "I've met different men, from all works and places, but your audacity is the most unbelievable of the
His Forbidden Mate 9: Surviving
“How much would this go for?” I asked, picking up a silver sequence material hanging on the wall, which I could already picture myself in. I was currently at the market square, needing a wardrobe change. Having a dazzling outfit was one of those things that made our victims at the desired parlour swoon. It’s the first thing that always captivated them. Our performance and seductive acts came after. Getting for myself also meant getting for my workers as well, because uniformity at the parlour is key. “A yard would go for three pieces of gold, but for you, I would give two,” Pedro said with a friendly grin. He has been my go-to seller in the past six years of running the parlour and not only does he give discounts, but he also advises on which material is best and which would last longer. We’ve developed a sort of friendship and I rely on him to give me fashion advice. I believe him more than anyone else. “Mistress!” he nodded his head in acknowledgement. “Shh, not outside the p
His Forbidden Mate 10: The rules to follow
Kimi came to stand beside me at the entrance of the hall where I stood watching the show go on in the parlour. I stood there for a while, knowing I’d be up soon, but not wanting to. This was supposed to be the day before the full moon and I usually let the men get a glance at what it felt like to be with me. Since my agreement with Edward, I’d have to step down from my role as the rewarder of the highest spender and instead assigned Jane, Vixen and Willow to take up the roles. Although our victims at the parlour rebelled against the change, none dared take it up. The three have done their best to fill in the space. Edward hasn’t been here in weeks, still I had to stick to the terms of the agreement so I won’t be found going against the rules when he decides to show up. I still maintained a few duties, such as the motivator, which was what I would do today. I would dance on the pole, play and tease a few of them to get them in the mood. This usually brought about more spending and aft
His Forbidden Mate 11: Trapped with the devil
He was in the parlour, watching the show, watching me play with my victims with so much concentration that made me feel uneasy.My stomach curled, realising that his presence would bring nothing good. Sure, he had lust in his eye, but he wasn’t drooling like the other men, rather his eyes watched me intensively as if studying my move and learning them.Chills ran down my spine and I’m unable to hold his gaze. I looked down at the victim before me. The joy and confidence I had in me a while ago faded away, and insecurities crept in. Thought such as what his unannounced appearance at the parlour meant overwhelmed my mind and it took a while to shake it off.No matter what it was, I couldn’t let him into my head. It might mean little to him, but this was my life and therefore everything to me.When I glanced up the second time, he was gone, making me wonder if he was ever here.I leaned in and took the victim’s bottom lip between my teeth. My hand trailed over his chest, down his stomach
His Forbidden Mate 12: Desire
I flattened my hands on his chest and pulled away and despite breaking the kiss; he didn’t back up. His hot breath fanned over my face and weakened me from the inside out. My gaze could barely hold him any longer because I knew I’d give in to this the longer I stared at him.“Your body yearns for my touch. I see it in your eyes. But you believe giving in to it would be a sign of weakness.”I flared at his audacity to read the truth. “The last thing I want is to have your hands on my body.” My anger spoke, but my voice betrayed me, conveying my need as it weakened towards the end.“That’s a lie, because that’s exactly what you want. You’re afraid that you won’t be in control and you’re right, you won’t be, but that’s okay. I’ve got you.” His hand came up to draw a fine line from my shoulder, down my chest to the swell of my breast. My breath cut halfway and my nipple hardened as his palm covered my hidden breast and softly fondled it, earning a moan from me.It was an explosive feeling
His Forbidden Mate 13: Balance
His mouth held mine captive for a while longer, but soon moved to kiss my chin, tracing his tongue over my jawline and down my neck. His lips headed towards the weak and sensitive spot on my neck and I wanted to avoid it, so I tried to twirl around. He grabbed hold of me on each side and kept me still, as if knowing my plan.I discovered the weak spot on my neck with my first ever victim. I felt the vulnerability when his tongue met that spot and I ended the make out section and since then I have allowed no one to touch or kiss me there until now.If the prince notice my reactions to his touch, he didn’t move to stop. His mouth moves dangerously close so that even the air coming out of his mouth made me tingle. My eyes shut, and I thought of how vulnerable I’d be if he pursued this. I didn’t want that, and it was bad enough I had lost control to him. I couldn’t surrender my all as well. “No! Please no,” I cried out. I knew this made me look pathetic, but I could not care less.He stop

His Forbidden Mate Epilogue
With the parlour gone, Kailani spent most of her time travelling. Nothing was keeping her anymore, Rue had Oliver and Jane had Glen and all was well and she gave her time to travelling. It was her way of escaping the memories the city brought into her mind. Some of those memories were the ones she made with Prince Edward, her one true love. It was harder spending time here when every corner of her home and city reminded her of him. She knew she wouldn’t survive if she stayed, so she moved to Soule in the north, the place she was born only coming to visit Lurds once in a while. Today was one of those days. Rue and Oliver welcomed their babies a week ago, and as soon as she received words, she set out to visit. Rue had told her she would be their children’s godmother, and she had to be present and celebrate with the family, her family, for this wonderful news. They held a feast to celebrate, and she was just right on time. She hadn’t stayed in Lurds for more than a day for the past co
His Forbidden Mate 56: Life without a mate
“He’s miserable without her,” Xavier, the alpha king, said, coming to stand where Robb stood watching Edward from far away deliberating with the counsel of learners at the scholar’s institute. “As anyone would be without their true mate.” Edward had been back in the capital for the past six months, living and obeying every command of the alpha of alphas without questions. It was his oath, and so far he had done his job of keeping it. The trial found lady Shewa guilty of murder and malicious conspiracy and also the death of Kemi and Romeo at the parlour. She was then demoted to an omega in the capital. After losing her rank as a beta and title as a noble, the house Black disowned her and disconnected their ties with her. With Shewa’s rank gone, Robb could no longer force his hand into marrying her. But he was back at the capital, attending to royal duties and going along to all Robb’s outreach to unite the kingdom, as well as the neighbouring ones in the war, which he believed was clos
His Forbidden Mate 55: Painful victory
A week later The king’s guards returned with news of the capture of Cynthia. She was about to cross the border of the north into the kingdom of Jade. It had been three weeks since the attack on the parlour and this was good news for not just Kailani but for every worker at the parlour. When she heard the news of Cynthia’s capture, she wanted to confront her about the truth; but she feared her anger might make her do something drastic, like snapping the backstabber's neck. She deserved that and even more for what she did, but her time was coming. Edward took the lead and after thorough questioning and torture, Cynthia confessed to not working alone like she initially claimed. She called a few names, and Kailani knew them in Lurds. These were men who were kicked out of the parlour because of their recklessness and lack of self-control in the past. Cynthia also called the instigator of the attack on the parlour as Lady Shewa of the house black. Kailani initially thought Robb Ainsworth
His Forbidden Mate 54: Family
The door to the room opened, and they pulled apart to see Jane and a few other workers from the parlour standing there. A big smile spread over her face on seeing them present at the temple, alive and well. They moved and gathered around her bedside, all having looks of relief on their faces as they beheld her. It warmed her heart up and made her grateful to be alive. “Thank you all for coming to see me,” she said, her eyes looking through the crowd around her bed.“It’s the least we can do for everything you did,” Jane smiled cheerfully at her. “And thank you for not abandoning us in the blazing house,” Kyra said with a grateful smile on her face.“I would never do that. You’re all my family and I’m happy we made it. I believe whatever comes our way, we will overcome.” The workers stayed around for a few more hours before most took their leave, leaving only a few behind. As the crowd in the room reduced, her eyes searched for the few notable faces she longed to see, but didn’t see
His Forbidden Mate 53: Pain and anguish
Edward stepped through the portal and into the city of Lurds at the location where the parlour was. Just like he feared something terrible had happened, the parlour was on fire and those around were fleeing from it. The choking smoke of the flames that oozed out of the parlour travelled through the nose and burnt the lungs. The amount of wolfsbane present in the smoke was enough to kill even the strongest werewolf, if trapped in it for too long. This was an attack on the parlour and whoever was behind it had their plans thought through and executed. Knowing that someone would do this angered Edward, and knowing Kailani was still inside terrified him. He couldn’t lose her too, he wouldn’t make it. The few that came out of the parlour were running as far as they could to safety, but she wasn’t one of them. He caught a maiden running by the arm and made her stop. “Prince Edward!” Kyra acknowledged him and bowed her head despite her fear. “Where’s lady Kailani?” he demanded and fear re
His Forbidden Mate 52: Fear of the unknown
“The earlier I start my journey, the faster I will get back to Lurds,” Edward told Xavier whom he had woken up in the early hours of the morning. “If anyone had told me, we will have this conversation about you ever finding a maiden and getting married. I wouldn’t have believed them,” Xavier spoke with a grin on his face as they walked towards the study. They would spend the next hours to come deliberating on the proceeding of the wedding at Lurds before Edward would leave. Edward had put in motion the plan for the wedding. The last task he had to do was meet the dressmaker for the robes the king and queen would wear at their wedding. He had done all he needed to do and was ready to return to Lurds, where his mate and lover waited for him. He missed her. He missed her laughter, her smile, her naughtiness, her wildness. He missed the feel of her skin when pressed against his. He missed the touch of her hands on all parts of him. Her soft kisses fondled and caresses. He missed her sur
His Forbidden Mate 51: The unexpected end
The way all parts of her body burnt as if set on fire and how she couldn’t turn it out felt like a strange dream but also so much like reality. The longer her eyes stayed shut, trying to figure out what was happening, the more the pain in her skin grew and became unbearable. Her breathing also became restricted, as if the air was cut out and every intake became a battle and she choked. Her eyes snapped open to see thick, blinding smoke covering up her chambers. The smoke had cut out her vision, so she didn’t see anything a few feet away even if she tried. It wasn’t a dream, she soon realised, and she felt trapped. Confusion and question filled her head as she wondered what could have started this great choking smoke. It wasn’t an ordinary smoke. She wouldn’t feel so weak and tired if it was. The smell and the pain it caused when breathing told her this was wolfsbane. This wasn’t just a random happening, this was an attack on the parlour. She got up and race to the bathroom and threw
His Forbidden Mate 50: Farewell
Edward travelled to the capital a week ago to relate the plans he had made to his brother, the king. The wedding, according to plans, should hold next week and this was Edward’s last visit to the capital before his union with his love. When Kailani asked if he wanted her to come along, he smiled and told her to stay back and make sure all their plans for the day were perfect. This was the only task she had and she had to do justice to it. She could do that. It felt like a dream, but the day she would unite with Edward as one drew closer with every hour that passed. He had proposed them moving to the capital after marriage and though she’d gone along with every single thing he’d said happily, that made her a little sad. Yes, she wanted to step aside from the parlour, but moving to the capital would mean farewell completely. Saying good bye to everything and everyone she had grown to love. She knew moving to the capital was inevitable because the capital was called La Ville De Roy
His Forbidden Mate 49: The enemy
Kailani got down from her carriage and approached the parlour when she noticed Jane standing at the entrance with a scroll in her hand and a worried look on her face. Her eyes narrowed at her as she approached, but Jane didn’t notice her presence yet and kept looking around instead. She got to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, making her jump on her stand. She twirled around and found Kailani, and the fear faded away. Ever since Kailani took a step back from the parlour, she had stopped coming as early as she used to. She took a step back because Edward had asked for her hand and when she said yes; he moved to propose a wedding ceremony and that had taken her time and focus. They were sceptical about the venue because they wanted to avoid the alpha of alphas whom Edward refused to invite, but also wanted the king's presence. Kailani voiced her insecurities about the capital and so they decided to have a small wedding in Lurds. She was happy with the turnout of things, but stil
