Chloe held her head down, still struggling internally.“Guards.” Silas commanded, “Lady Chloe needs some help.”“Yes, my King!”Soldiers took an eager step forward immediately.“Wait a second!” Chloe cried.Being forced by a bunch of lowly guards…It looked even worse than getting on the knees hersel
Plus, being a maid meant that she could get out of the room and walk around.She would get her freedom back.It was a great deal.So Aurora answered right away without hesitation, “Yes.”But Damien spoke up at the same time, “NO.”Having heard about her answer, Damien snapped his head toward her wit
“It is not your damn business, OK?”Wendy snarled with an eyeroll.“The rule is there for a reason. You just follow the rules. And stop asking silly questions.”She took one more critical look at Aurora and let out a snort, “Let me go fetch you a maid’s uniform. You can’t wear your current clothes.”
She took a look at Aurora’s untouched bowl of soup and giggled, “You don’t like your meal?”“You mean a bucket of slop?” Aurora said coldly.“Watch your tongue!” Wendy warned, “You are lucky enough that we feed you. If you want to starve yourself, fine. Just don’t pass out tomorrow in front of the m
Westin was the last person Aurora expected to see here.This was the maid’s dormitory, restricted to men. The guard’s rooms were on the other side of the building.Westin shouldn’t have the access.Yet nobody here was too panicked to see a man enter their dorm. Instead, all maids seemed pretty excit
“Maids shouldn’t stay the night in the guard’s room!” Wendy cried, “And you only have one bed…Are you giving it to her? Or are you—are you staying in the same bed?”Westin chuckled lightly, “I believe that the rule can be bent. As for the sleeping arrangement, Aurora and I will figure something out
Aurora’s heart skipped a beat.She could smell the fragrance of the shampoo and his enticing scent. Her wolf was making a light little purr, urging her to accept his invitation.But she shushed her wolf.“Do you want to fuck?” she asked, cutting straight to the chase.Westin blinked, looking a littl
“I would rather stay in silence than lie,” she mocked.And that was you, a liar.She added internally.A charming liar, of course. But still, a liar full of bullshits and craps.Westin let out a sigh, “OK. So, it looks like you are not very happy with my answers tonight. Do I still have the chance o
He smirked in a cocky yet very youthful kind of way, “I figured…If you like my wolf, maybe you will like me better?”Aurora bit her lips.She didn’t know how to tell Westin that his wolf appeared more intimidating than likable to her.“Your wolf looked very different than ours,” she said eventually.
The formidable creature stood in the dark shadows, towering at an imposing height.Its eyes, burning with a golden fire, traveled across the aghast soldiers, and landed on Aurora’s face.A creeping chill was sent down Aurora’s spine as their eyes met.She swallowed, nervously.…Now she finally saw h
Aurora was confused as well.What Damien had in his palm made no sense to her.It was a cup of dirt.“How is some dirt going to find us locate the bandits?” Westin crossed his arms with a smirk on his face. “I have got to say—this is not a very smart way to get Aurora’s attention.”“Hey.”Aurora elb
“I need to go.” Aurora threw the napkin back on the table and stood up, “Now if you will excuse me.”She wanted to make her way past these two men.But Damien grabbed her wrist.“What is the rush? You haven’t had dinner yet. Something happened?” he asked with a frown.“No. Everything is fine—”“Oh c
Aurora took a deep breath, “I haven’t decided yet.”“You need two whole weeks to decide?” Damien frowned.“I think your best option is right here in front of your eyes,” Westin spread his hands.Whispers broke out like little hissing fires all over the hall.Everyone was intrigued by this love trian
It was a floor-length, emerald-green evening gown.It had a fitted bodice with intricate silver beadwork that extended down the waist, creating an elegant and eye-catching pattern. The skirt flowed gracefully, creating a slight train.“I like this one,” Aurora pointed at the dress.“Great choice, pr
Announce whom she would marry?But she hadn’t decided yet!“Hold on a second.” Aurora frowned, “What if I can’t decide within these two weeks?”“Then you make up your mind quickly.”Lance crossed his arms and said:“You saw how they were like out there. They can’t stay in the same room peacefully fo
Damien gently pushed a lock of her hair to the back of her ear, “…I should have done the same for you.”Aurora struggled to look away from those enchanting eyes of his, “Yes you should have. But now it is too late.”“It is never too late!”Damien’s tone suddenly became rushed, “Aurora, I want to ask
An awkward silence fell upon them.Rivena bit her lips, looking reluctant to answer, but eventually gave in under everyone’s sharp gaze.“Well…yeah. I am…actually,” she sighed.“You are pregnant, and you still decided to leave me?!” Lance raised his voice abruptly and roared, “Are fucking crazy?!”R
