She entered the empty chamber in silence and readily saw the mess of the bed. Indeed, it needs to be made.
The smell of cinnamon and mint filled her nostrils, getting stronger as she approach the bed. The bed is a mess. Blankets and pillows were in disarray, like a hurricane dropped by."How does this man sleep?" she whispers, looking at the pillows thrashed at the foot of the bed instead of the headboard side. Another pillow was on the side and mostly was on the floor. The crumpled blanket was carelessly tossed aside.Heaving a sigh, she started to pick the pillows on the floor, smelling each one before arranging. The scent is a small consolation for her early task. And it's making her mood elated.She was almost done when the door burst open, revealing a sweaty man. The air immediately filled with a distinct scent of cinnamon and mint mixed with sweat and sun.An awkward silence filled the chamber when the two choose to just stare at each other without any greetin"My mate...a cursed healer" Kieran, Nuallan, and Viddar shared a look as they listen to the brown wolf they rescued. "What made you come this way of the forest?" Nuallan ask."We have traveled long, me and my daughter, just to reach this side of the region. I heard... A descendant of Alpha Tadeo is leading a huge pack and I had ventured, for my children" the man explained, looking straight to Nuallan's eyes before it averted to the Alpha."Children?" Viddar asks, his tone suspicious."I have two, my oldest...a boy" the man mumbled. Pain and sadness filled his face."As I said, my mate is a cursed healer. My children inherited her ability. At the age of three, their healer ability started and would vanish at the age of eight. My son is seven and...he was taken away several months ago" the man painfully speak, rimming his eyes with unshed tears."Taken?" Nuallan grimly asks. His jaw clenching."Our pack was attacked by rogues and they have sor
Narrah gawked in confusion. The anger reflected in the Alpha's face baffled her."Why are you angry?" she was bemused, her brows furrowed. "Who hurt you?" he gritted his teeth, glaring at her like she was dumb.She continued to gawk, totally lost in what he meant."You said, someone, hurt you...who hurt you?" Kieran queried impatiently but she merely stared back at him."Who?!" he growled, scowling. His voice made her snap out from her daze. Her eyes regained their focus as she met his piercing golden eyes."No one" she muttered, holding her head high.Kieran looks at her haughty demeanor, trying to know her thoughts."In time, I will personally deal with them" Narrah added, her jaw clenching, her expression dark.Silence ruled as their gazes locked, both were gauging each other."I can deal with them, now" he retorted after a while, earning him a sharp gaze."No one will fight my battle but me..." she countered coldly, her ton
Hunching very low, Kieran pressed his forehead to hers, taking several deep ragged breaths. Closing his eyes and letting the delicious sensation envelop his senses. Narrah seductively suckled his thumb. The warmth of her mouth around his thumb was causing his erratic heartbeat and heavy breath."Tease..." he whispered weakly."Uhmm" she just hummed."Get your breakfast" he softly added, deliberately breaking the intimacy. He cannot endure any longer. But his words made her scoff and bit his thumb. "Mean" she whined as she glare at him. "You should thank me though..." he playfully countered despite his ragged breath and the throbbing pain of his manhood. "Thank you then..." she mocked and pouted. Kieran moved away from her to look at her sulking face. "Don't act cute on me" he seriously teased."I'm not acting cute, I'm pissed" she glared, totally forgetting the authority of the person she was talking to. "You looked like acting
Narrah watch from afar where Rieka warriors were already in formation. All were shirtless including the Delta and the Alpha who is still talking to Beta Nuallan.She stationed herself at the window upstairs, holding the plate of remaining fruits she has to finish. Her eyes were set on the Alpha whose unbound long hair is almost covering his handsome face. Trailing her gaze downwards, she ravages him with her admiring eyes. From his broad shoulders packed with firm muscles, down to his well-defined toned chest, down to the deeply cut and prominent groove of his six-pack abs, down to the V-shape of firm muscles leading down to the humongous monster, Narrah had seen several times. If the Alpha was a delicious feast, he had been long consumed by Narrah's devouring eyes. Eating fruits has become quite appetizing while she watches the commotion in the yard. She has almost consumed all the fruits when unexpectedly, his golden eyes meet hers. Their gazes locked. Ignor
The dark forest is surrounded by unusual stillness, too quiet for a night. Dark shadows lurking, concealed by darkness.A pair of red eyes fixed on the nearby camp, poorly lit by dying torches. No scoundrels in view, no indication of movement, but the red-eye monster could hear loud snores.They crept through the darkness, entering the smelly place without being detected. Silently killing whoever was on sight.”No one was left of the scoundrels, Alpha” someone spoke in the mindlink."We found the room, there were movements from the inside" another one spoke.They have been in the forest for three nights, watching the camp. Rogues come and go, leaving the place vulnerable at night. Sorcerers' presence was also spotted but they would leave after midnight.On the fourth night, they infiltrated the camp undetected. They are already sure, captives were kept somewhere. Cries and screams would fill the whole place right after dusk where sorcerers w
Rieka has been in buzz as everyone was busy with the preparation of the Alpha's 26th winter. The packhouse was in an uproar as Celeste took charge of the preparation before the alpha could come back."Guests will be arriving soon...hurry!" Celeste's voice thundered in the entire house as maids scurry around doing her unending biddings. Amid all the chaos, the forest become alive as the Alpha's troops were spotted. "The Alpha is coming!" The mind link was filled with jovial chatterings as the atmosphere within the highland has changed tremendously. Everyone was looking forward to the safe return of their troops and their Alpha. "What's happening?" Erra asked one of the kitchen maids. Narrah and she could feel a different atmosphere among the pack members."The Alpha has returned" a cheerful response made her pause before turning to her side where Narrah was sitting. Narrah stared at Erra, her eyes sparkled with anticipation. After almost five d
Demanding and punishing kisses devoured Narrah as she tried to equal his delicious attack. Their lips dueled as Narrah embraces the passion the Alpha has awakened."Arghh..." they both growled as their lips separated, fanning each other's faces with ragged hot breaths."When I tell you to stop...you stop" he muttered, glaring at her with clenched jaw while heavily breathing. His dark grim face was just inches away from her."I was saying the reality" she softly countered, her breath still ragged."Until it didn't happen, I forbid you to say anything about it" he dangerously warned.Narrah stared at him in silence, his dominance imposing. "I don't want to live in a dream. I have to stay in reality" she mumbled after a while, smiling bitterly."Why are you so stubborn?" he glared."Because I prefer to be in reality than make myself believe in an elusive dream" she continued playfully but her eyes reflect the pain she was trying to hide. H
The Alpha's 26th winter will be happening tonight and everyone is in a festive mood. Starting with the well-lit packhouse, towering in the middle of the highland.Guests already arrived, three Alphas and their entourage, only those close to Alpha Kieran and Rieka's allies. Alphas of equally huge and strong packs in the region.The enormous dining hall is arranged for the occasion, accomodating almost all the pack members and guests. The crackling of the fire in the fireplace mixed with chatters and waves of laughter. Kieran was busy talking with the other Alphas, Nuallan, and Viddar on his side. The party has started but instead of enjoying it, the four pack leaders were discussing the threats from the rogues and sorcerers. They have already seriously discussed it in his study earlier but it seems to be unending. They continue to casually discuss in the middle of the party, in front of ales and wines.Sumptuous food and different drinks flood around th
"He grows up so fast" "Yes, mama. A real alpha, like his father" Narrah's fond smile adorned her face while watching the father and son having their training with Lucas "He will rule Rieka like his father and great ancestors. He will be a great ruler of two worlds" Margo added smiling."Grandpa will still live long, mama" she chuckles at her mother. "Yeah, being an elemental suits father" Margo chuckles."He can now keep up with Alpha Tadeo and Alpha Ramdel" Draco interjected while having his tea. He is watching his grandson with pride while talking about the king. "Where did those three go, by the way?" Margo curiously turned to Freya."They will go hunting for rabbits, Princess" Freya smiles, trying to contain her amusement."Those oldies..." Narrah amusedly mumbles while shaking her head.It's mid-morning and as what they had started after Narrah gave birth, they would gather in Rieka every month to visit the heir who is now three summers."So we
A week after they returned to Rieka, Narrah went riding with Midnight while Kieran was busy with his Alpha duties.She enjoys the fresh air touching her face and the morning mist freshening her skin. She missed Rieka.Looking up the clear sky, she chuckles upon remembering the pouting face of her father.Like a child, Duke Draco sulked and pouted when they bid them goodbye. "Oh father, I missed you and mama. You will surely like it here if you could come" she whispers in the air. Her tender gaze skimmed the highland afar and the vast clearing. "This is my home now, papa..." she whispers. She has Araceli with her parents, she has the palace with her grandfather, and she has Rieka with her heart. Contentedly, she heaves a sigh. Her heart is overflowing with so much happiness and love for all the people she loves and loves her back.Enjoying the scenery in front of her, a moving figure caught her attention. Her eyes squinted at the familiar small figure
"Hmmm," she moans, tilting her neck to give Kieran full access. Plastered at the huge window, she tightly grasps the rails to steady herself while Kieran was behind, ravishing her."Do you realize how hot you look, my little vixen?" he whispers against her fevered skin. His hand was inside her gown, snaking up and down her thighs. Fully aware of the hard monster huddled against her butt, she pressed herself closer to him, wanting to feel him more."Ahhhnhn" her only response after his hand crept inside the skimpy fabric covering her heaven."You are wet for me...so wet..." he whispers, scorching her wet walls."Argh..." she writhes, the head was thrown back, wobbling on her feet. Her pale hands become paler as it tightly grasps the iron rail. His finger was touching her to the right spot, making her feet weak, engulfing her whole senses with the nerve-wracking sensation.Opening her legs, he lifted one and continue to rub her, unhurried, fu
The night was adorned by elegant and frivolous royals, witnessing the presentation of Princess Margo as heir to the throne. Princess Margo with the Duke beside glows like a freshly polished gem. Her beauty compels admiration. The once looked down, is now the heir to the throne. A woman with no lineage is the daughter of the king.Like her mother, Narrah is equally divine in her sparkling white gown. Her youth glimmers like a precious jewel, as she is in the eyes of her parents and the King.Following behind the procession, eyes drifted towards her. Her innocence and divinity radiate like the brightest light ball, lighting the entire hall.Her silver hair was let loose fixed around the tiny crown, adorning her head. She is an apparition in everyone's dreamy eyes.Admiring eyes bore her presence, following her every move. But she was unconcerned. Her senses were only aware of the man afar, drinking his wine while his intense golden eyes bore her soul.
The palace was in an uproar for the preparation of the grandest event. A month after the war, Duchess Margo will be introduced to the whole kingdom and allies as heir to the throne. They all have great reasons to celebrate. Peace will rule all worlds.Guests kept arriving even before the break of dawn, overflowing the palace with all its allies.Despite the overwhelming arrival of guests, the palace security strengthened its strict attention to every entourage requesting entrance."You were not on the list" the guard declared to one of the newly arrived entourage."Please, kind sir, we are here to meet with the Princess's daughter. We pose no threat" the man garbed in peasant clothes pleaded. Behind him are his family and the small community they met along the way. All were hopefully waiting to be admitted inside the palace. There are even small children inside the carts pulled by scrawny mules. "Princess Ahnarrah has no advice of accepting anyone and
After the uproar brought by the punishment of the King, the hall becomes silent after the traitors were taken out. Seeming to be drained of all his strength, the King slumped on his chair, resting his head on his propped hand."The kingdom will be safe" he muttered after a while."You can rule without fear for your back, King Fergus" Alpha Tadeo announced.Fergus chuckles and straightens on his seat. Only those who were close to the King were left in the hall, giving a more relaxing atmosphere. "And I owe it to all of you" the King declared, looking around the council's table where they were all seated."My King..." Narrah softly called."Yes Ahrah..." he smiled at the girl being held by an intimidating man."I hope this is a perfect time. But I bear a gift for you from the Kalani" she softly continued, getting everyone's attention.Fergus narrows his eyes, staring at Narrah before it averted towards Tadeo. "A gift? From Inanna?"
"Mother!"She stiffened upon hearing a familiar voice amid the noise around her. Finding her, she looked around, and there she saw a white-haired girl waving at her atop some man's shoulder, which made her brows furrow. She could see her husband but a stranger got their child.Nudging her way to the tight crowd, she hurried towards them."I can see my son" a woman following her spoke."I could also see my daughter" she smiled, turning to the other woman before they both continue to walk."Mother, Mother!" Narrah darted to the approaching woman, immediately after she was put down."Narrah..." her arms outstretched to receive the charging girl towards her.Not long, she was enveloped by the tightest hug she could ever have."Mama..." she whimpered as her body shook from her sobs."My little doll... " she whispered tearfully. Not getting enough of her daughter's warmth, she buried her face on her hair, inhaling her scent, convincing he
After the confrontation, they all left for the palace. Those who are wounded and have been summoned from the verge of death were hauled by carriages. Healers have summoned a lot, narrowing the number of deaths. Those who were left lifeless were arranged to be buried. Scoundrels' carcasses will be burned, except for Tiberius. Alpha Tadeo brought the dead man with him upon returning to the human palace.As the entourage gets closer, cheers get louder. Everyone is waiting for their arrival, including the king.All dismounted from their horses and approach the man whose eyes were brimming with tears despite his intimidating aura. Silence ruled as the entourage approached."My King" Narrah curtsied while the others kneeled on one knee. A warrior's respect for the ruler of the land. Humans and beasts pay homage to the King."All rise, I should be kneeling to all of you" the King's voice quivered, looking around his loyal subjects even to those shirtless men.
"Father!!!" she saw him. She was sure it was him. She reined and made her stead gallop towards the direction of the man. Her eyes brimmed with tears as the figure becomes clearer, seeing his face.The man looked stunned but a wave of emotions flooded his face upon his realization. A painful lump appeared in his throat as he embraced the impact of the forging figure towards him.His body swayed atop his stead upon catching the frail figure who darted from another horse to his lap."Father..." she whimpered, burying her face to the man's neck."My Narrah, my little princess..." he tearfully whispered. Holding her closer, burying his face to her rose-scented hair while inhaling her scent.Sobs and whimper escaped the two as they hug in silence, relishing the presence of each other in their arms. Narrah clung tightly to her father, afraid to let go. Afraid she was just in a trance and he will vanish once she returned to her senses. "Narrah...oh my Narrah...is
