~Storme~

I wanted to disappear into the floor. Theo, however, appeared unfazed. He leaned back in his chair, his gaze never leaving mine. “She’s… captivating,” he said, his voice thick with meaning. “More than I expected.”

My cheeks burned, and I risked a glance at the king, who seemed pleased with the response. He had no idea that the tension in the room had nothing to do with polite conversation.

“That’s good to hear,” Marcellus said, raising his glass in a toast. “I trust you’ll make her feel welcome.”

Theo’s grin deepened, and he shook his head. “Of course, Father. In fact, I’d be happy to give her a tour of the Palace after dinner.”

The king nodded approvingly, oblivious to the undercurrent of Theo’s offer. I, on the other hand, felt a wave of panic. Spending more time alone with Theo was the last thing I needed, but there was no polite way to refuse.

Soon, we were done with dinner. True to his promise, Theo stood and offered me his hand. “Shall we?”

I hesitated, my mind racing f

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 10: The realization

    ~Theo~My fingers thrummed softly on the desk, creating a nice distraction for me as I waited for my father to say something. He continued perusing his long line of conquest awards, touching each one reverently as if they were sacred objects.Over the years as a young king, I’ve heard and also witnessed the viciousness of my father. Both in battle and when it comes to matters of the kingdom. King Marcellus wouldn’t waste time in having the head of whoever flaunted his order, alphas and Pack members alike.When he got older, he had looked up to me to carry on with his legacy, but I was a far cry from what he is. I preferred not to see the heads of innocent people severed from their spasming bodies. If there was anything I loved more, it was women.And no, I never want them in that forever bond type of way. I preferred to hit and ghost. Maybe that was why the moon goddess had decided that I wasn’t fit to have a mate. It’s been twenty-five years of being on earth, and yet all efforts, wh

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 11: Hot currents

    ~Storme~The minute I got into the kitchen, I released an exasperated breath. Why did he have to be in the king’s study at the time that I was supposed to serve tea? Couldn’t he have waited until I was done serving the king before inserting himself into a situation that didn’t need him?That self-conceited handsome devil. Always trying to make me nervous around him. The most annoying part was that he was always successful. I always find myself weak in the knees after every encounter with him.“How can one person be so handsome and annoying at the same time?” I half-yelled.“Didn’t know you thought that I was so handsome. Could have told me sooner so that I can make you mine.”I spun around to see the handsome devil entering the kitchen. A silly smile played on his lips as he walked towards me, hands in his pockets.“Is that why you’re stalking me?” I retorted, “Because you can’t seem to get your head over me?”“On the contrary, baby doll, I hate you. I hate you so much that all I want

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 12: Make her jealous

    ~Theo~“Where were you? I kept looking everywhere for you. Did you forget that we had to train the other werewolves for the hunting competition?” I glanced at Fred who kept on looking at me funny. I raised my assaulted finger and placed it at the bridge of my nose before sniffing deeply. “I was very thirsty. So, I decided to hunt for some kind of rare juice.”The expression on his face was that of uninterest, as if he was waiting for me to tell the truth. This was my problem with people knowing everything about me. Having been my best friend for the better part of my years, even before becoming my beta, Fred knew me more than necessary.He began to unsheathe the swords that we would use for the training session. We had to train harder since we would be competing with other kingdoms on a hunting spree. It had been a tradition since my father became king, and that silly tradition had stuck. I don’t understand the need to run around in forests with a damn sword in this modern time.A gu

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 13: The bait

    ~Storme~A week in the palace, and it feels like I’ve been living a dream. A bad dream. King Marcellus has been insistent on his needs, leaving me to wonder how such an old man could have such primal needs. It was such a pity that I wasn’t into older men, or worse still, an older man who looked like him. That was besides almost dragging me everywhere he went and boasting to whoever cared to listen that I was the virgin bride whom he paid for.Now, as I lay on his bed after another three seconds of him penetrating me this evening, I started to wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn’t been sold by Alpha Morgan. Perhaps by now, my mate would have found me, and we would be living happily.I glanced at his fat hand draped across my breast and drew the cover up my chest, slightly shifting and pushing his hand away in the process. It earned me a glare, but I was past the boundaries of caring right now.My mission at this point was to get the king under my thumb and make him fall

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 14: First Dream

    ~Theo~I stalked around my room, waiting for the signal from Fred. My eyes went to my wristwatch for the umpteenth time. It was already late at night. Why wasn’t she here yet?Fred’s move was supposed to make her jealous, and perhaps evoke that feeling that she’s been trying to suppress. Knowing her impatient nature, I half-expected her to storm through my door and bark at me for leading her on and then turning around to make plans with someone else. That was the reason I’d left my door open. For easy access.“Baby, come to bed already. Let’s get started while the night’s still young.”I glanced at the lady on my bed and cursed silently. Of all the girls in the kingdom to get me, Fred decided that my ex, Mimi, was the perfect one. His reason was that she wouldn’t be too uptight and our act would be more believable, making Storme fall quicker.Looking at her right now, she was totally standing on more than business. She looked every bit beautiful with the red lingerie that barely cover

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 15: First Kiss

    ~Theo~“Fred! You fucker!”Without restraining myself or my wolf, I landed a blow on Fred’s face. The big smile which had been on his face when he saw me, died immediately. First blood spill from his broken nose and I wasn’t satisfied.“You know how crazy Mimi can be. How could you put me in that precarious position with her? Why the hell did you tell her that I wanted to get back together with her?”Another heavy punch from me sent Fred reeling and flopping to the ground. I was beyond pissed at him for putting me in such a situation with my ex, especially since he knew what I was after.He picked himself up and cradled his stomach. The tortured look on his face wasn’t nearly enough for me. I couldn’t tell if this was just about Mimi or if it was about someone else. In all, I needed him to feel a lot of pain.“T-Theo,” he gasped, holding a hand out, “hear me out, please.”I curled a wave from my hair and raised an eyebrow. “Sure. After I’m satisfied knowing that you need a new set of

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 16: A wish

    ~Storme~“Is that how you kiss? You have a lot to learn from me, baby doll.”That voice kept haunting me everywhere. The audacity of that handsome devil. He was my first kiss and all he could do was tease me for the way I kiss?The door to my room gave way and I walked in, my breath coming in short gasps. I plopped on the bed, my face staring at the ceiling.Beat, beat.Control was something that my heartbeat was unable to understand. It was so loud, even to my ears. I held it, taking deep breaths to calm myself down. If a kiss was capable of making me feel so lightheaded, I wonder what it would be like to finally feel his hands all over my naked body.“Geez! Storme, calm your clits! This is insane.” I muttered, turning to my side.I knew doing that had been a bad idea the moment my wolf pushed me to it.‘Now, I never pushed you into anything.’ My wolf protested. ‘We both wanted to feel how it would be to kiss him.’‘Oh, shut up, Sunny. It was you all along. You couldn’t stop yapping

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 17: I want to fuck you, hard

    ~Storme~True to his words, when I came out to the courtyard that afternoon, Theo was already waiting. The goofy look on his face faded, however, when he saw the imprint on my cheek.“What happened?” he asked, his hands suspended on the edge of the car door that he had already opened.Caking my face up with layers of foundation could have made me avoid this question, but I hadn’t looked at myself in the mirror before leaving. Doing that made me feel as if I wanted to look good for Theo, so I decided not to see what I looked like. I also picked out the clumsiest dress that I could find in my wardrobe. Couldn’t have him thinking that I dressed up to get his attention.“Did someone hit you?” a hand came up to my face and angled my jaw. “The king…did he do this?”His eyes flashed with a dark emotion that I’d never seen before. Something dangerous. So dangerous that his warm eyes turned cold and hard. “I need you to tell me right now, Storme. Did he do this to you?”I pushed his hand away

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 82: The arrest

    ~Storme~It felt like I’d just signed my second death sentence when I noticed Marcellus and the guards behind him. He was breathing heavily, and his eyes had turned red. There was no denying what had happened between his son and me. there was no way I could deny it. Not with my dress almost off my body, and Theo’s shirt thrown away in a corner. The truth was just too glaring.“I can explain—” I started, trying to adjust my dress as decently as possible, my voice trembling as I stared at Marcellus’s wide, enraged eyes.But he didn’t let me finish. What happened next felt like it was edited in an extremely forward motion. I barely saw his fist before it slammed into Theo’s jaw with a crack that echoed throughout the room. I let out a gasp as Theo staggered backward, blood spraying from his lips.“No!” I rushed forward, but Theo caught himself before he fell. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, then looked up at his father.“Don’t,” I whispered to him, begging with my eyes. “Pl

    ~Karen~The thanksgiving feast was an utter disaster in my eyes. From the moment Storme walked into the hall, basking in the attention of the alphas and dignitaries, to the Alpha King’s half-hearted speech thanking the Moon Goddess for sparing his queen’s life, every single second grated on my nerves.I’d kept my expression neutral, but inside, I was seething. I could tell that the Alpha King’s words were nothing but a formality, lacking any real emotion. His tone was dry, detached, as if he were merely checking off a duty on a long list of royal obligations. I almost rolled my eyes as he finished the dry speech.Favor? From the Moon Goddess? What a joke. If Storme had truly died, I would have personally made an offering to thank the heavens.But Theo had to push things further, of course, forcing me to say a prayer for my sworn enemy, someone that I would have snapped her neck as she sat pretty on that table if I had the opportunity.The prayers tasted like bile to me as I spoke, but

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 80: The thanksgiving dinner

    ~Storme~{A WEEK LATER}Karen walked into the sitting room like she owned the place. She moved with an air of entitlement, her expression rigid as she sat across from me, smoothing her gown as if she were settling in for a long chat. I didn’t trust her presence, but I forced a polite smile expected from a queen."How are you doing?" she asked, her voice falsely sweet."I’m okay," I replied evenly.I knew better than to let my guard down around her. The event of the past days had made me know that Karen and I were sworn enemies who do not have a chance at coming together for peace. For someone who was willing to incinerate me even when it was obvious that I was alive, I wouldn’t put anything past her anymore.She offered a slow smile, tilting her head. "I must say, congratulations. You have quite the talent for cheating death. I’m almost envious."I gave a small, meaningless smile, but said nothing. I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of a reaction."Are you ready for the feast this e

    {NOTE: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS DUAL POV FROM BOTH THEO AND STORME. HAPPY READING.}~Theo~A collective gasp rippled through the room. My own breath caught in my throat. I rushed closer, my hands shaking as I reached for Storme. I pressed my fingers to her throat, feeling for the impossible.And then I felt it. The faintest, most fragile thump beneath my fingertips.She was alive.The room erupted into chaos. Karen shrieked in protest. The king’s eyes darkened with an unsatisfied emotion. The guards shifted uneasily, looking to him for orders.“This is a trick,” Karen spat. “A game. You saw her, Theo! She was dead.”I barely heard her. My heart was pounding, my mind racing. Storme had been cold. Still. Dead. And now…Geenie turned to my father. “My king, this is a great omen. She was taken by the spirits, but they have returned her.”My father’s expression hardened. “Then we must finish what we started.”My blood ran cold. “What?”“If she was meant to live, she would not have been declar

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 78: Hope

    ~Theo~I wiped my hand clean on a white handkerchief, shaking off the last remnants of the blood clinging to me.“What’s going on?” I asked, turning to the guards.One of the guards who had gone to check out the alarm, stumbled forward. “The palace vault, My Prince. It’s on fire!”My body stiffened as I listened to the guard speak. The vault was close to where Storme’s body had been taken. If that was where she was, then there's a huge possibility that the fire might burn her body as well.Without another thought, I broke into a sprint.“Theo!” Fred’s voice rang out behind me. “It’s dangerous! Storme is already dead. The fire burning her body won’t matter now.”But it mattered to me. Even in death, she deserved peace. Not this.I shoved past the chaos, dodging the guards as they worked hard to put out the fire. The heat seared my skin, but I didn’t stop. When I reached the room, I heaved a sigh of relief.The fire hadn’t touched her yet.Storme lay on a tiny bed, draped in ceremonial

    ~Storme~“Per radicem et saxum, per ignem et mare, scutum lucia me circumdat clare. Nullum Malum transeat, nullum maneat, Haec custodia nocte dieque stet.”(By root and stone, by fire and sea, A shield of light encircles me. No harm may pass, no ill may stay. This ward shall hold both day and night)The murmurs surrounded me, rhythmic and steady, their cadence weaving through my half-conscious mind. The words felt familiar, yet distant, as if they were buried deep in my bones, waiting to be unearthed.I felt a hand on my chest as the chants continued, and it felt like someone was retracing the birthmark on the back of my wrist. A little pain permeated through my skin, but it stopped almost immediately. The chanting stopped as well.My eyes fluttered open. A dim, flickering glow illuminated the space around me. The scent of burning herbs and something earthy filled the air. A woman stood before me, stirring a bubbling pot over an open flame. Her face, lined with wrinkles that somehow m

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 76: A taste of her medicine

    ~Theo~The glass of alcohol in my hand was nearly empty, but the burn in my throat wasn’t enough to drown the rage consuming me. I paced up and down, my brain reeling of the sort of pain that I would mete out to the target that I had coming into the dungeon soon enough.She would taste exactly how it felt to die in the most painful manner. I would make sure of that.Keys jingled, and Fred and his men dragged in a figure covered from head to toe. They threw the body at my feet, and Fred yanked the leather bag off her face. The second she saw me, her eyes widened in horror, and she began to plead.“P-please, My Prince, spare my life, please!” Her voice was shrill and desperate. Her hands trembled as she reached for me, but Fred shoved her back down.“Shut your mouth!” he barked.He handed me a small leather bag. “We caught her trying to leave through the back of the palace. It looked like there were some unidentified guards trying to help her escape. We also found the bag on her.”I to

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 75: Leave

    ~Karen~I limped down the corridor, my head held high despite the pain throbbing in my leg. The scent of blood clung to me, but I ignored the questioning glances from the passing servants. Let them look. Let them whisper. None of it mattered. I had won.The ragged cloth that Mona had managed to find for me reeked of dampness and was undeniably dirty, but it was better than walking through the palace halls completely naked.“Theo tried to kill me.” I muttered to myself incessantly, as if saying it over and over again would make it become a lie.I hadn’t believed that he would be able to do something like that to me, his childhood sweetheart. If I hadn’t escaped as quickly as I had, then I would have been the second body that would have been incinerated tonight alongside that witch’s body.His rage, his grief, him fighting me, it had all being for that wretched woman. Even in death, she clung to him like a curse. How else was I supposed to get rid of this darn disease that had infected

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 74: She must pay

    ~Theo~The world stopped. The air in the room turned suffocating. I heard nothing. Felt nothing. It was as if my body had shut down completely. I couldn't process what I had just heard. My mind rejected the words, my body refused to accept them.My breathing turned ragged as I turned to the doctor, my voice dangerously low. "Check again."The doctor swallowed hard, his face pale. "My Prince.. I've checked multiple times. There is no pulse. She has stopped breathing."Something inside me snapped."NO!" I bellowed, grabbing him by the lapel of his coat and shaking him violently. "She’s not dead! She’s not dead, you hear me? You’re lying! Do something!" My voice cracked as I shook him harder. "Bring her back! Bring her back right now!""Theo!" Fred grabbed my arms, trying to pull me off the doctor. "Theo, stop!""She’s not gone! She can’t be gone!" My vision blurred. My chest ached with unbearable pain. "Storme! Storme, wake up! Wake up!"I fell to my knees beside her bed, clutching her
