Chapter 43"No..." I said, my voice trembling as my knees weakened from his overbearing presence. I inhaled and exhaled, trying to fight this nervousness I felt. "No." This time, this word became firm. But Alucard's smirk did not fade. "Do not test my patience, Faustina." I felt my clit throb when he was still towering over me, looking at me as if I was just a speck of dust to him. His face drew closer to me as his hand reached my neck to whisper huskily, "Outside, I will treat you like my queen, the mother of our triplets, and the love of my life. However, whenever we are in this session alone, you are only my slut, a toy for me, whether you like it or not. Do you understand?"My body shivered in delight when Alucard licked my earlobe. My wolf liked it in contrast to what I was feeling. But she was betraying me to succumb to him, which I found myself nodding.His hand on my neck tightened a little, almost making me out of breath, but I couldn't even complain and found it to my likin
Chapter 44"Daddy, how did you know to braid? Did Mommy teach you?" Luciana asked as soon as she was ushered by her father while I was handling to take care on dressing up with Lumiere and Liutrich.We had been here in Alucard's castle since yesterday when it was supposed to be tomorrow. My triplets had been insisting on seeing him and I had to notify their father immediately. Alucard did not hesitate to welcome them with open arms and cleared his schedule as soon as he learned that we were coming."I asked your Auntie Novalie to teach me because I have my Luciana to impress. Also, your Uncle Alistair and Uncle Alejandro also learned from her because they need to braid my niece, Arthemice," Alucard said softly, his expression softening when he saw that fishtail braid was success.Luciana looked satisfied at his answer before turning to me. "Mommy, how do I look?"Finishing the bow tie for Lumiere and Liutrich, my lips graced by a smile. "You look pretty, sweetie."She giggled before A
Chapter 45"It's so nice to meet you three finally! I'm your Grandma Adel, and this is your Grandpa Apollo!" That was Mother Luna Queen Adeline's greetings to my triplets as she hugged all of them and introduced them to their grandfather.Upon our arrival at the royal palace, I anticipated various reactions, but I was most curious about how Alucard's parents would respond. Mother Luna Queen Adeline seemed to take to their presence warmly. However, when it came to Grand Alpha King Apollo, I couldn't predict his reaction.He was staring at them as if he had the urge to react to dislike them. I was observing it properly before he sighed, his lips gracing a soft smile, I must say, which was quite surprising to see him like that."Welcome to the family, Luciana, Lumiere, Liutrich," he said, kneeling before them as he opened his arms. His gesture made my heart leap because his soft expression was almost the same as Alucard's.No wonder... He was really the father of Alucard, even with his s
Chapter 46My insides clenched at Grand Alpha King Apollo's words. I was in disbelief, silent that he was blaming me and that I taught my children about the history. Even I was surprised when Luciana asked her Uncle Azarius about his former ex-wife and Luna Queen.I began to speak to offer my apologies, sensing the deep emotional history between his son and his former daughter-in-law, but before I could, Alucard interjected, saying, "Father."His tone was chilling, bringing me back to that painful moment from years ago. I felt like I was reliving the day when Alucard had rejected me. My hands grew clammy, my lips trembled, and a rush of nightmarish memories washed over me, leaving me paralyzed in their wake.Even with his face matured, the expression remained the same, looking at his father with solemnity. "Faustina is unaware of what happened with Brother Azarius and Macedonia's past. I need you to refrain from acting hostile against my former mate."Chills coursed through my body as
Chapter 47After that ordeal, Alucard led me to the garden, where our triplets were enjoying playing with the rest of their cousins after opening their presents bestowed by their Uncle Azarius. Alucard and the rest of his brothers joined while Novalie and I watched from a distance."You must have been frightened at Father earlier," Novalie started as she settled to sit next to me. "He is really an asshole, right?" She chuckled.Her term at Alucard's father surprised me. "Um... I guess." I did not know what to say about Grand Alpha King Apollo. But I couldn't help but feel unconscious with his words.What astonished me more was Alucard having to butt in and defend me. His tone might be cold and distant as it triggered our past, but when Alucard looked at me, I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world on how he could contend with his father. He did not bat an eye as he discoursed with him."My father-in-law tends to be quite protective of his sons, or rather, he's exceptionally s
Chapter 48I shoved my body to the bed as soon as Alucard and I had fulfilled our duty to the triplets, who had decided to retire to their designated chambers. The whole day was a mess, and I couldn't get over to the part where my kids asked for another sibling."What had just gotten into their heads that they want another sibling?" I asked myself, recalling that moment when they said that thing.Even Alucard was taken aback by their questions; it seemed he hadn't anticipated this line of inquiry. I briefly wondered if he had somehow orchestrated their curiosity, but the genuine surprise in his expression suggested otherwise.I decided to freshen up, silently contemplating what happened to this day. It was evident now that Alucard's father did not like me, and based on Novalie's words, it seemed like she also experienced the attitude of her father-in-law. But observing him, he did not have any ill attitude on her, but it was most direct on me. No doubt. "What matters most is they did
Chapter 49My supposedly initial response should be struggling from Alucard's move, but I was surprised that I returned his kisses with the same fervor. This made him groan before I finally felt myself straddling him. His tongue sought entrance while holding my nape still, deepening the kiss. The way he kissed me looked like he was sucking my soul out of me as I tried to keep up with him, my hands reaching for his hair, tightly closing my eyes. My dominance was trying to overwhelm him, but Alucard groaned in disapproval, feeling his other free hand caressing my thigh up and down, pushing the hem of my dress up to my waist. My waist did not hesitate to grind him, feeling his bulging crotch brushing against my clit. "Hmm..." I moaned inside his mouth, unable to keep my breathing intact.Our saliva was already mixing against each other, pouring all the feelings left unsaid, fluttering our stomachs until Alucard moved me to lay me on the grass, not stopping kissing me even though I was
Chapter 50I gulped it down just as Alucard wanted. His lips drew a smirk before pressing his fingers on my chin to make me look at him and say, "You know what to do next, you little slut."My clit tingled at the endearment he called me as I nodded. I reached for his cock again while my tongue began to lick him clean. My gaze locked with him.Alucard's breathing was getting heavier with every lick on his saluting rod pulsating in my hand. His tightening of my hair showed that he liked what I was doing.As I finished, I hissed in pain when he gripped my hair to force me to look up. Even so, I did not feel violated but instead, I found this delightful for my own good."Since you are a good girl, do you wish to be rewarded, dollface?"My breath hitched when his other free hand reached the strap of my nightdress down to my breasts. Alucard's fingers were teasingly tracing it before they went down to taunt my tweaking bud.Biting my lower lip, I nodded in response. But I closed my eyes in
"Finally..." I heaved a sigh as I finished the weaving I had been working on for the past few days. I held it out with a smile to admire how proud I was. "What do you think, Lulu?" I showed my daughter sitting beside me, watching my finished product. Luciana fluttered her eyes in surprise. "It's so pretty. Are you going to show it to Daddy, Mommy?" she asked as I handed what I weaved. Her delicate hands traced all the details I had made. I could see how impressed she was. Chuckling, I kissed her temple to make her look at me. "Yes. Later." I winked at her, causing her to giggle. "Take a break from stitching, sweetie. Go and join with Lumie and Richie." "Hmm! Yes, Mommy!" She stormed out of the parlor room as fast as a lightning bolt. My stomach felt ticklish as I stood up and went to the window to see her joining with her siblings, who were busy playing chess. I bit my lower lip. I couldn't accept that they were eight years old this year. "Time surely flies..." I muttered, feeli
Chapter 93 Alucard It was hard to get back on my tracks during those years. Thanks to Brother Azarius' help, my engagement with Charity had ended. During those years, I yearned for Faustina and her touch. My shattered heart couldn't be picked up together since her death. I wanted to be with her, but I chose to be strong for her. When I thought that I could finally accept her death, it was then I came to meet the daughter of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Bellwood. I thought I was dreaming when I learned her name. Faustina Miles Bellwood... The current head of the House of Bellwood. The moment I saw her, my world stopped, and I almost lost my cool upon seeing my beloved mate—alive and breathing. However, it came to a light that she wasn't my Faustina. But deep inside, I knew to myself that it was her. She might have changed how she walked and talked; my guts were telling me that Faustina Miles Bellwood was the mate that I had been longing for, and I thought that she had died.
Chapter 92Alucard"One more slap, and I can summon my elite knights to deal with someone who dared to hurt the crown prince of this kingdom.""I-I'm so sorry," Faustina whispered, unable to look into my eyes. "I didn't mean to...""Save your apologies," I said with iciness in my tone as I turned around and walked out of that garden, having that firm expression."Alucard..."I barely heard Faustina calling my name, her voice filled with anguish. It took all my strength not to turn around and rush to her side, feeling my heart shatter into pieces as I walked away, out of her sight. I concealed myself and gritted my teeth, witnessing her broken expression from how I had treated her.Right there and then, I wanted to punch my father for bearing me in this situation, and I had to hurt my mate so I could protect her."Faustina..." I murmured her name, wanting to be near her, telling her I never meant those words I uttered.I almost took a step forward, but a hand abruptly halted me. It was
Chapter 91Alucard"Alu, dear."I snapped back to reality when I heard Mother calling me. "Yes, Mother?" I asked, blinking so many times, looking at her. She smiled hesitantly and looked at me weirdly. "You haven't touched your meal again. Is there something bothering you these days?" Her soft tone made me straighten my back. "Yeah. Mother is right, brother. You haven't eaten much."I turned at Alistair, who was creasing his forehead and was sitting across me. Beside him was my other brother and his twin, Alejandro, who had the same expression. It was the exact moment when I had to lay my eyes on my other brothers, Alejandro and Brother Azarius, looking at me as well. Lastly, my eyes landed on Father, who was arching his eyebrow in my direction.I knew, even if he didn't mind-link me, with that kind of piercing look, Father was already telling me to fix myself. "I'm still full. I had some snacks earlier." Now, I had to lie since I didn't want to involve my mother if she happened t
Chapter 90AlucardMy back straightened upon the mere mention of my beloved mate. I could even feel my heart dropping to the pit of my stomach as I met his frigid gaze before I caught his hand where he was waving the letters I had received from Faustina.My eyes widened in horror. "Where did you get them?"My voice was so thunderous that it felt like it had shaken the whole study room. I could even feel the blood draining to my feet, questioning what was happening."You are not planning to end your engagement with Charity just because of this woman you met," he said in finality.I was initially dumbfounded, still processing his words, until my expression changed into disbelief. "She has a name. Her name is Faustina, Father."I didn't know how he got those letters from Faustina since I kept them in my citadel, but I already guessed that he had some suspicions about my behavior ever since I returned.I remember that incident where I wandered alone in the forest without having my elite k
Chapter 89Alucard"There," I muttered with conviction as I finally put a seal on the envelope with my letter inside before looking at Elijah. "Now, dispatch one of my elite knights to deliver this to Faustina, Elijah. I want her to receive my letter as soon as possible. Understand?" The smile plastered on my lips couldn't be erased as soon as Elijah hesitantly reached for it. He looked at the letter first before looking at me worriedly. "Your Royal Highness, you're already engaged to Lady Charity, yet you're exchanging letters with Lady Faustina..." Elijah emphasized, sighing. "You haven't even informed your mate about your engagement..."My mood shifted as fast as the lightning bolt upon the realization. I pursed my lips into a thin line, looking away."I know that..." This made me massage my temple since Elijah made me slap the reality. "I plan to end my engagement soon, so I can be with Faustina."The statement I uttered caused Elijah to gasp in horror. I didn't have to look at
Chapter 88"How about our children, dollface? Did they know that we are going to eat together?"Alucard asked me questions when I prepared our food here in the Luna Queen's garden. Alucard brought me here when I told him I wanted us to picnic. However, our children were left in the mansion.He watched my movements even though some of him wanted to help me, but I insisted that I serve him just as he served me. "Indeed, yes," I replied and glanced at him. "And I want to be with you alone. We haven't been spending much time with each other these days. So... I missed you, pudding." Those words that came out of my mouth made me want to be buried six feet below the ground from embarrassment. I wanted to be vocal with my feelings as much as possible to reassure Alucard, since we needed to communicate to avoid misunderstanding. My wolf agreed with my resolve. And both of us had been longing for our pudding since he was busy for his departure, and we had this misunderstanding these past few
Chapter 87 "I see that the five of you are improving your studies," I praised the Ironwood siblings, who had proven their worth that they could be helpful for my triplets. "I hope you will continue this phase along with your siblings, Cedric." Cedric smiled and gently bowed his head along with his siblings: Gavriel, Lysander, Percival, and Elysia. "We are happy for your praise, Madam Faustina. I wish to show our gratitude by being filial to our duties." His words brought satisfaction to me. "Alright, you may return to your quarters and rest. Thank you for today." As they nodded and left, it relieved me that they were easy to handle at their age. I also made sure that they were living comfortably. I knew that even though they lost their parents, I was trying to supervise them properly. I also had my head butler to handle them. "Expert, do I still have a schedule today?" I asked, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Attending the tea party of Marchioness Archer is your last schedule
Chapter 86I felt disheartened when Alucard left. As much as I didn't feel like entertaining Simone right now, I had to since my pups were already with him. It was good that they were there, so I still had ample time to recollect myself while thinking about how to coax Alucard. "Yay! I have more books!" Liutrich exclaimed, his eyes glistening excitedly as he looked up at me. "Mommy, I will start reading them today!"Smiling, I caressed his hair as I nodded. "Summon our butlers to help you display your new books." Then, I turned to Luciana and Lumiere, who were busy with the presents they received from Simone. "You are spoiling them again, Simone..." I heaved out a sigh when he chuckled."I don't see them often, Faustina," he said, looking brightly at how they liked their presents. "Thank you, though, for inviting me to their birthday party. My apologies if my arrival is all of a sudden. I also have a business to attend here in the Sowinski Kingdom.""I see. I understand." Smiling, I
