Hi friends, thank you for reading my book. Kindly leave your thoughts.
What was this thing she was feeling?Was she feeling sad that he was outrightly rejecting her before he even got to know her?Fine, she didn't even want him either. He had killed a man right in front of her without remorse. He could as well kill her too, who knew what he was capable of?"You can't go home; you are safer with me than in your world," he refused."I was safe before I met you, you are ruining my life," Candice spat out."If you go back to your earth plane, my enemies will find you sooner rather than later and you will be taken into captivity. Believe me when I say death will be bliss compared to what torture you will go through," he informed her."Was that why you murdered that man? Because death is bliss compared to torture?" she inquired."I had to send out a strong message, anyone who touches what's mine and they would die. Regardless, that wolf is known for his notorious ways, I have had it in mind to put him in order. Too bad he picked today to cause trouble," he casu
Money solved all problems.Wayne thought to himself as he walked into the red chamber at the Assembly quarters. The hall was big and crafted in the form of an auditorium. Five chairs, as tall as pillars stood at angles in a circular arrangement, and on it sat five grey-haired wolves. The gammas (elders) of Plane Woede were the advisers to the king. A royal bloodline who had lived up to a thousand years and was still alive assumed the position of gamma to advise on state affairs.Coming to the middle of the circle, Wayne's thought was still filled with the discussion he had with his naïve little mate two days ago. Everything was either white or black to her, she thought she was smart and could manipulate things to her favor. Well, she would later find out she was being outplayed.He had no plans of letting her go after six months, he had only offered the deal to buy some time with her. Within the timeframe, he hoped to find a way that would allow her birth his child, then he would releg
Candice smoothed down the white floral dress she was wearing.Adjusting the ribbon that held her thick mass of blond hair in a ponytail, she fidgeted with the paper and pen in her hands, biting hard on the rubber cap of the blue ink pen.The last three days were a roller coaster of events. Waking up in a stranger's bed in an alternate universe had been the beginning of her woes. She had been constantly insulted, and mocked, and was about to be fought over by otherworldly creatures she didn't know existed. She was now a target for some vengeful enemies she never knew she had, who wanted to capture and enslave her from no fault of hers, all because of some sort of universe-binding matehood.Her world had completely changed in a matter of days.Things were finally looking up for her at least. In her hands, she held the key to her future. Wayne had given her the liberty to draft the contract according to the terms and conditions she preferred. He would only go over it with her and sign.Hi
Damn, he moved so fast.The speed of lightning.The feel of his arms around her was soothing, as she felt his warmth sip into her body, his scent teased her nostrils and intoxicated her. He had a woodsy scent mixed with some honey notes, and a very alluring hedonic sensation washed over her. Like she was being drawn to him in an intense manner, an appeal she could not resist.Candice's lips parted as hot breaths left her, drying up her lips. She dipped her tongue to her bottom lip to wet it. His eyes followed her tongue movements and finally locked on her lips as his gaze narrowed. For a brief instant, she saw a flicker of blue glint in his eyes, but it immediately disappeared and he quickly set her straight on her feet and stepped back from her."I see you have freshened up," he said as he went to take his seat behind the desk."Yes, I have. Everette has been very helpful," she replied.She felt her face heat up with shame as her reaction to him had been so obvious. Had he felt anyth
Quick-paced footsteps echoed off stonewalls as arc doorways twisted and turned in different directions in the form of a maze.Sweat beaded up his lips, his heart pounded loudly, and tension strained his muscles as he ran the length of the Dragon Fortress. Coming into a large opening, a huge bed finely dressed in red linen sat on the ground and in the middle. A large wooden barrel stood next to it filled up with red wine, more than half a dozen bronze goblets were tossed around on the floor. Fruits like grapes, apples, and strawberries were served bountifully on a large metal tray. Lumps of cooked meat occupied a wooden bowl, and different varieties of savory sauce sat prettily in white jade bowls.Alcohol filled the air with the distinctive smell of sex.On the huge bed was a tangling mass of seven women sleeping soundly, as their arms and limbs were set in every direction."Master! Master!!" the man who had just entered called out.There was a slight stirring on the red linen covering
A gust of wind rushed in shaking the room window panels.Candice drew the bed covers over her; the air was chilly. It had rained non-stop for the better part of the evening. It was a continuous downpour, lightning flashes, and thunder vibrations.She was trying her best to concentrate on the book she was reading, yet it seemed the harder she tried, the louder the sounds grew.Everette had given her this book titled 'The Porter' when she had complained of boredom. There was no electricity on this plane, so she had no television channels to watch or a computer to browse through social media to keep up with the trends. It had been almost a week since she had been on this strange plane with nothing better to do. After signing the contract with Wayne a few days ago, she had barely seen him. Not that she was curious of his whereabouts, she hardly ever left her room. She only did so on very rare occasions when she wanted to take a walk along the seashore. Even at that Everette had accompanie
That was close.Wayne thought to himself. if he had been a few minutes late, she would have been taken from him.Damn it! He cursed inwardly; someone would pay dearly for this.A few days ago, after he had signed the contract with his mate, he had focused on other matters like visiting the Earth plane's department of astronomy to see if he could find anything on the next occurrence of the Lunar eclipse.He thought everything was under control since he had put Everette in charge of her daily dealings, the house was heavily guarded. They were all instructed to always be on alert and never allow her to leave the house alone. He and Rojan had traveled the entire earth within these few days, so they could independently find more information.He had just recently returned this evening. Since he had not traveled alone, he had made use of the official portal in the city's center. Arriving home, he had undressed quickly, removing his wet shirt and shoes. With the heavy rain, smells were difficu
Coming to his room, he pushed open the door and walked in.Strolling to the bed, he released her from his shoulder and dumped her on the bed. Before she could sit up, he was above her pushing her back to the bed. Holding her two hands above her head, in one wrist.He extended one claw on his forefinger and sliced open both the cardigan and the nightgown she was wearing, from the top to somewhere around her belly.Her rosy pink plum breasts were bare to him, Wayne was looking at them closely for the first time. She had them pierced with silver studs and they beckoned on him to tongue them between his teeth."Let me go," Candice writhed underneath him."Ah ah, not so fast," he used his free hand to tuck one strand of blond curl behind her ear "I have not even started your punishment yet.""You can punish me in other ways," she said trying to wriggle away."I can but, it's my punishment. Is it not? I decide how I want you punished," he rasped huskily as he trailed a line behind her ear wi
Candice felt awash with satisfaction.It felt good to put smiles on the face of someone.She wished she could gift her more, but the Head of staff would not let it slide. He was in charge of the domestic funds and ran the house on a strict budget, only making adjustments if and when directly instructed by his Lord Alpha. She would definitely gift Everette, Jason, Jordan, and Sally a little token before she said goodbye to them forever."What are you intently thinking about?" Bernice asked."Nothing interesting," Candice murmured as she walked over to join her on the couch. She had donned a simple green dress, dotted with white polka dots."You have been frequently spacing out these days, tell me what's on your mind?""I-I just wish that my life wasn't so complicated. Like this was some sort of dream, I was not in a parallel universe. I would just wake up and everything would be back to normal," her voice was strained, with all the pent-up emotions raging within her."Why would you wan
"I heard a voice," Candice said as she stared at herself in the mirror."You did?" Bernice asked from her position on a couch."What kind of voice?" Everette mused as she put some pins around the dress Candice was wearing.They were having a casual conversation as Candice tried on different dresses. Early that morning, Everette had arrived at her bedroom with over a dozen dresses from the seamstress.Two weeks had already passed by since Bernice and Rojan had returned from the earth plane.The head of staff, at the house had casually informed her that a date for a banquet had been scheduled, and on that day, she would be introduced to society.Yes, you heard that right.She had been informed, notified, and made aware without any consultation from her, that her very own debut to society had been set up.The only prior information she had gotten was when Wayne had taken her to the red chamber in the city center, where she had eavesdropped on their conversation. He had not bothered to di
Zipporah smirked to herself as she descended the stone steps.The assembly had come to a close and they were all free to go. As she walked down the steps that wound around the walls and led to the lower part of the fortress, to the base level of the dungeons. Her lips curved into a wry smile.For a moment there, she thought she had been caught.Thanks to her quick response, she had shifted the blame to the nymphs. Removing herself from close scrutiny. It would have been a catastrophe if he found out she was the supposed thief.A blow to her ego.Howls echoed through this level from different creatures she had captured with the help of Waylon's men and locked up in these dungeons, to use their blood for her dark magic."Silence!" she snapped at them, her voice dripping with malice.The cries immediately ceased.She began to walk from one cell to another, the creatures scurried into the depth of the cell when they saw her glower at them. One cell held a griffin, another held a chimera, a
Sited upon his stone throne was Waylon.Standing before him were his subjects; Zipporah, Drac, and Smeden."You assured me," Waylon murmured as his eyes moved from one body frame to another.He was dressed in royal blue apparel with a red cape attached at the shoulders. Upon his head sat a golden crown embellished with rubies, emerald green and blue sapphire stones. In his hand was a long staff made of bronze with glyph carvings, each knuckle of his finger was adorned with gold rings. He was lounging in his seat with an air of royalty while addressing the trio gathered before his mini-assembly."The sorceress was the one who recommended her," Drac said casting a side glance at Zipporah.Waylon's gaze shifted to Zipporah "Yes, it was you who brought her. You assured me of her outstanding abilities and skill set."Zipporah shrugged "She was indeed a clever, slippery, and resourceful hireling. It's a shame she could not complete her mission.""But Lamias are said to be formidable and fea
"My heart?" he let out a bitter laugh "Far from it, I would not let myself get carried away. I have an end goal; nothing can thwart my plans.""As your beta, I would agree with you to do what's best for your plane and pack. As a friend, I would tell you not to make a mistake you may regret later on," Rojan advised."Regret? What's there to regret about?" he harrumphed."You're clearly falling for her, why do you fight it?" Rojan pointed out."I am not," he countered, then scoffed "What is there to fall for? She acts with no dignity whatsoever. Is it dancing half-naked with a total stranger and allowing him the pleasure of kissing her or striking my face with her fist?""Wait, what?" Rojan did a double take, "She slapped you?"Wayne paused, that had come out involuntarily.Rojan threw his head back and laughed, his booming laughter bouncing off the walls.Wayne put a hand to his temple, why had he let that slip off his tongue? It only showed that he was still clearly pissed at the kiss
Busted!"Rojan you're back," Wayne acknowledged.Rojan was standing a few meters away from him, carrying Bernice on his back. The once vibrant young lady looked passed out and was sleeping soundly on his shoulders."Yes, I am," Rojan replied casting him a mug stare."I was not expecting you guys so soon," he said, feeling a little embarrassed. This was the second time in one evening that Rojan had caught him in compromising positions. Luckily for him, he had donned a robe despite his haste to come to her. What logical explanation could he give if he was caught naked in front of Candice's door? It would have been worse if Bernice was awake, gratefully she was fast asleep."I actually came to talk to her, but changed my mind," he explained as his left ear twitched.Rojan looked at him, his eyes roaming over his physique. Then he nodded, his eyes disbelieving "Okay, if you say so.""What happened, why are you back so soon?" He inquired."This one is wild, immediately we got to a pub. She
Wayne reclined on his side on the bed in his room.He was knackered to a great extent and wanted to fall asleep after the heavy dinner. However, he could not seem to catch a wink of sleep.The past few days had been grueling on his part. The search for her, the pursuit after her captor, the Jubokko tree assault, the battle with the Lamia shapeshifter, the visit to the council of elders, the excruciatingly painful journey into the Hade's lair, the altercation at the mating festival on the misty plane. Lastly and the best part of it all, the return of his beta and second in command, his most trusted associate, his one and only best friend.He should feel at peace that he had overcome all obstacles, retrieved his mate from her captor unharmed. Also, he accomplished the near impossible feat of accessing the tree of life, now the hinterlands would be healed and his plane would be whole again.He should be feeling a sense of satisfaction, yet something gnawed at his conscience. Like there w
The room had grown quiet behind her.Maybe the room wouldn't feel the same without her and he would tell her to stay with them just a bit more.Still nothing.She arrived at the living room, crossed the vast room to the staircase. Her shoulders were stiff and alert, hoping for a call. For his call."Candice."Her head snapped back immediately; someone had called her "Yes," she responded."Rojan and I will be heading into the city, he wants to show me around. Want to join us?"It was Bernice, the one person in the world that actually cared how she felt. It would have been great to hang with them, but she really wanted to rest."I am tired Bernie bear, I prefer to stay in. Have fun," she said and continued up the stairs, all the way to her room.She pushed open the door and shut it behind her as she leaned on it. The walls around her room briefly blurred as her eyes stung with unshed tears. She felt was feeling miserable and she had no idea why.She felt… disappointed.What was going on
The sound of cutleries echoed through the dining hall.Four of them were gathered around a table.Well, the upper end of the table.The length of the table could host twenty-four people at one meal. They had to seat clustered at one end to have a semblance of a gathering. Wayne sat at the head of the table, Rojan flanked him on the right side. She and Bernice occupied the chairs on his left.The chef had cooked up a feast, half of the table was spread heavy with varieties. Her eyes roamed over this bountiful provision and her chest felt heavy, they had more than enough while those over the border, at the outskirts were ravaged with hunger."Why have you stopped eating?" Wayne asked as he shoveled a spoonful of seasoned rice into his mouth, his eyes watching her intently.Candice looked down at her hands, surprised to see that she had dropped her cutlery set."Nothing," she said and picked them up.She tried to eat the vegetable salad on her plate, but her appetite seemed to have varni
