The first warm rays of the morning were on my face. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly opened them. The other side of the bed was empty. He was gone, gone again, as on the first night. Leon always left without my knowledge. No good morning greetings, no farewell kisses. I felt sad and lost, and the smell of him still lingered on the other side of the bed. I shifted my body to the position in which Leon had slept the night before, my face pressed against the silk sheet. A faint smell of grass filled my nose. I imagined touching Leon’s cheek and kissing his lips. Oh, what is wrong with me? Why do I feel so sorry for him? I felt as if my heart and body had departed with him. At that moment a voice from outside interrupted my thoughts. “Miss Emily, are you up?” From outside the door came the cautious voice of a maid. “Oh, yes! I’m getting up!” I sat up to answer the voice outside the door. “Can you come in and serve me now?” " the maid asked again. I cleared my
Katherine took my hand tenderly and looked at me with loving eyes. “You can trust me, Emily. Tell me your confusion, and maybe I can help you,"she said. I lowered my eyelids, and thought for a moment. Finally, I gathered the courage to ask Catherine, “When I was in prison, someone tried to poison and kill me. When Leon found out, he immediately sent someone to investigate. I was there at the time, and it had something to do with Black Wolf's slaves. Who are they, and why did they try to hurt me?” I uttered all my doubts in one breath, but Katharine paused with a look of consternation. I saw her red-painted nails digging deep into the velvet tablecloth. Her bright purple eyes were frosted, and I could feel her anger. After a long pause Catherine spoke in her normal tone. “So Leon hid something about the black wolf from you, and you are puzzled. At the same time, you have doubts about your relationship. Is that right?” “I don’t think there should be any secrets between mates,” I sai
“You must have bewitched me, which is why I was so anxious to come back, just to see you!” Leon put his arm around my waist and gave me a deep, unexpected kiss. When his soft, cold lips touched mine, I felt his warmth and sincerity. Once again, I was captivated by him. The first sense of loss was instantly changed to joy, and his kiss, like a warm sunbeam, melted all the coldness from my heart. I was shocked by the faint smell of blood coming from his clothes. Was Leon hurt? No, it was not his scent. Perhaps he had been wounded in the hand. Has anyone ever been tortured by him again? Queen Catherine coughed softly, reminding us that there were people watching. Leon let go my hand and turned to look at Katherine. “Mother, I’m glad to see you here!” “Nice to meet you, my son!” Catherine smiled and looked at us at the same time. “People say that when a boy becomes a man, he will forget his mother because there will be another woman occupying his heart. This shows that this sentence
I expected Leon to take me back to my room, but instead he led me down an empty corridor. As soon as my feet touched the ground, he pressed me against the wall with his body. He had my hands behind my head and his hands were around my neck. “I remember telling you that normally the only person who annoys me is death. And for you, I really want to fuck you rough!” Leon's other hand lifted my skirt, and as he pulled firmly, my underwear ripped. My underwear was very flimsy and I felt very vulnerable. “This time, it’s to satisfy me, not you!” Leon quickly removed his trousers, and his mouth devoured my lips. “No orgasm, no noise! This is your punishment!” Leon lifted my left leg with his hand and his huge member entered my vagina, hitting the deepest part of my body accurately and directly. It was a bit rough, but extremely exciting. The blood boiled in my body, and my vaginal walls closed tightly around his penis. He was enormous, and I was satisfied! He moved his body rhythmicall
The carriage came to a stop at last, and Leon helped me out with great gentleness. The road on either side was covered with dense forests, and a dome-shaped white house stood before us. As I looked up I saw the Temple of the Moon on the top of the hill. So this was the Temple of the Moon. But when I've asked Leon about it before, he has steered clear of the subject. Why has he brought me here to-day? He was such a capricious, impalpable creature! “Let’s go!” Leon put his arm around my waist and led me toward the white domed house. The carriages were drawn up behind us, and the armoured guards were posted in two lines on either side of the road. We entered the house through an open door. The house is surrounded by four large circular pillars, each carved with an image of a werewolf and the moon. A candelabrum was placed in the centre, and upon it stood a number of burning candles. “Did you bring her here?” A low female voice came softly from behind us. “Yes, she’s here!” Leon looke
“Are you okay?” Leon's soft velvet voice rang in my ears, but there was so much noise mixed in that it was some time before I could distinguish what he was saying. My heart beat faster, my thoughts were confused, and something was pressing heavily on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. “Emily, are you listening?” Leon asked anxiously. I was still unable to answer him. The confusion of light was blinding me, and the clamour of voices in my ears was increasing. There was thunder and lightning, and the sound of dripping rain, and the sound of the wind. The sounds were all mingled together, and poured into my brain like a strong cord of hemp. I felt dizzy, and my body seemed ready to give way at any moment. Leon held my back with his strong hands, and kept calling my name in my ear. “We need to take her to her room to rest!” Anna's voice blew away the confusion of my mind like a clean wind. Even a little wind would have given me at least a little time to breathe properly. I fe
“You have something to say to me?” Leon turned his head and looked at me critically. “I think you should tell me!” I plucked up my courage and said, “You brought me here. Do you not think you ought to explain to me why? And what about the wedding?” Leon had never mentioned anything about the wedding to me, but just now, at the end of the mate's trial, I distinctly heard Anna promise Leon that she would be present at his wedding. So was the wedding part of Leon's plan? When is the wedding going to take place, or is he already planning our wedding? Oh, shit! Why has this man not told me anything? “Tell me what?” Leon said slowly, apparently keeping me in suspense. “Everything!” Stressed out, I stared at him angrily. “I don’t want to be led by the nose like a fool!” “Me too!” Leon crossed his arms on his breast. “If you want to know something from me, at least be polite. Your current attitude makes me very dissatisfied.” Why, mon Dieu, should he always take the initiative, and
The sky had become overcast, and Leon led me to the balcony of the castle. He made me stand by the balustrade of the balcony, and Leon stood within five feet of me. “Third lesson: facing your fear!” Leon's tone grew stern. He pointed behind me and said, “Jump!” “What?” I was shocked and asked, “Are you serious? It was at least a hundred feet from the ground. If I jump, I’ll die!” “I said, jump!” Leon had an alpha tone on me. I backed away in fear, the guardrail up to my waist. Leon approached me one step at a time. His face was expressionless, his eyes cold. “No, don’t push me! Please don’t!” My prayers, however, had no effect on Leon; there was no pity or sympathy in his eyes. I opened my eyes wide and looked at the man who had come face to face with me. He gave me a cruel smile. Suddenly he put out his hands and gave me a hard shove. I was stunned and my body was falling fast. Darkness closed in around me, and I felt hopeless. I thought I was going to die. My inner terr
