"Now tell me, young lady, what kind of information do you seek?" Mr. Spencer asked as he placed one foot on the other, curving at the knee. His arms folded as he inclined in his chair.

Mr. Maitho Spencer saw nothing in indulging the young lady until Nichols returned with his special treats.

"Mr. Spencer, I am so glad that you asked. I will be traveling soon, so I am merely seeking information on the Kingdom in my absence."

She laughed nervously, "You know, someone to keep me informed of the happenings. There is always some uprising or some soiree or another being thrown by the King and Queen in that castle."

Aakifahlynn pursed her lips after casually saying, "simply wanting to keep abreast of things while I am gone, and I can surely pay for your services."

Aakifahlynn gave vague details, not wanting to come out right and say she wanted to learn Alpha King Jairus's every move as she did not know Mr. Spencer's loyalty still.

After all, she was informed about him by her husband when she

    This young miss would be a formidable ally. One to keep happy should she ever were to mention him, he would be mentioned in an excellent light to whoever is watching over her, Mr. Spencer thought.But what was troubling to him was that from what his man said, it was like she did not even know, as she ran away like a scared kitten.The worst thing you can do is take the chance and toy with someone who does not even know they are being protected.Because it did not matter what he did, she could not even defend him to her protector should he deem that Mr. Spencer fell out of line.A shiver ran down his spine as he thanked his lucky stars for this vital news in the nick of time. The Lord knows they all would have been like Alister in the blink of an eye for moving on this woman.Nevertheless, with the sudden turn of events and an even more hurried shift in Mr. Spencer's decision, he was ready to truly listen to Ms. Thompson, so he urged her to continue.Returning to his seat, "Oh, Ms. Th

    "Ahh, I expect nothing less from a business owner." Mr. Spencer spoke suddenly. Now that he was looking at the young lady in a different light, he could not help but admire her and have respect for her. He could taste the bobs now, plus let's not forget his sudden inspiration. But Lord knows how he wishes his daughter had some type of substance or purpose-driven in life. But no, all she wanted to do was spend his hard-earned money trying to make a name for herself in the ton. The same ton who would look down on her if they knew her father was a merchant. A few knew the details of his part ownership of the Stygians. He preferred it that way, so he truly understood Ms. Thompson's request for privacy. "Ok, let me check on some availability as I have the perfect idea for a business like yours. You may not even need an entire stall, but just part of one." Mr. Spencer's hand moved as he described. "I can see your different products spread in a glass case," His hands outstretched, the

    By the end of her day, Aakifahlynn was tired. She refused to sleep in the barn or elsewhere besides the comfort of her own bed. She wanted her bed, plain and simple. But she did not want her husband coming at her. So when Aakifahlynn had gotten ready for bed, she spelled herself to appear asleep solid for when her husband returned to their chambers for the night. And that night, he had come to bed before she fell asleep for real. However, the spell was in play, her eyes closed. She appeared to be sound asleep....and then... And the bloody bagpipe had tried to 'wake her.' "Aakifah, my darling? Are you awake?" His voice dripped in longing, he shook her, and Jairus stared down at his mate as if seeing her for the first time. But Aakifahlynn's eyes could be open, her body moving on the bed, or she could feel emotions, and all Jairus would see, or sense was that she was sound asleep. It was like a flawless mirage. "Honey?"... Still hovering. "My love?"... Another tug. When he rea

    A wave of thankfulness flowed through Aakifahlynn for the thing she would need because she had used it many times. She had never been more grateful that her goal was not to have children immediately. Imagine bringing a child into this, witnessing their mother killed so brutally, or hearing the tales when they grew older. Plus, Aakifahlynn's ambitions did not provide for such a thing. At least not yet. Aakifahlynn had thought she had years for that, maybe even ten years into their marriage, which was nothing for a werewolf. Sadly, they barely made it to five years. Although a child may have changed things she'd randomly thought, it was too late for those sentiments. Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn will need to use that poppy wheat one more time before leaving the kingdom. Only it won't be on herself this time... Aakifahlynn was not thinking past, ripping Jairus and Taisiya's joy away from them. She was not even weighing the consequences of her actions on her conscience. Her mind was

    "What has suddenly gotten into you? Since when have you ever been THIS eager to get between my legs?" Aakifahlynn now shouted and diverted. She saw the suspicion in her husband's eyes.If he were suspicious of her, then be just as cynical about your behavior. Aakifahlynn bitterly thought. And this is not even the big event that would always win her case in her eyes.This was about his sudden movements toward her now, his need to mount her.And Jairus reacted as if she slapped him hard across the face with the truth of the situation...While he was busy wondering why his wife was acting out of sorts, he failed to realize he had suddenly been operating out of sorts.He certainly was not going to explain that her eager and searching tongue lit a fire in him, and he wanted her to quench its flames.That she ignited reels of ideas he wanted to experience with her. She was HIS MATE and WIFE. He DESERVES to have her. He DEREVRES this."I am sorry Aakifah... Get some rest. I will check on you

    Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn suddenly felt calm as she continued at her pace. This was a relief, she thought. Reaching the end, she entered the tent and saw Mr. Spencer talking to someone in a dark cloak. Aakifahlynn could barely make out the cloaked figure's face. But the cloaked figure's head tilted, his nose flared intensely as if he could smell under her disguise, and he disappeared quickly, which caused Mr. Spencer to turn around in confusion at the cloaked figure's sudden departure. Mr. Spencer's eyes widened in surprise and happiness. "Ahh, Ms. Thompson, I was beginning to think you got me excited about this venture only to abandon me." Seeing her, his face lit up, and Aakifahlynn got right to it. She had little time, "Mr. Spencer, I would never. As you can imagine, my day was hectic preparing for my trip." Aakifahlynn's eyes twinkled, a warm smile on her face. "However, I am still running on borrowed time. Shall we get straight to it?" "Yes, please, come this way." But Aak

    As the name left Aakifahlynn's lips, she looked for a reaction but got none; Mr. Spencer simply repeated the full name as he glanced off in the distance, then said, "Hmn, Smithesenja, Smithesenja, I cannot say that it rings any bells. But give me two weeks. I will send out my spies." "Oh, and please do be careful. I heard Ms. Smithesenja has eyes everywhere." Aakifahlynn spoke in hushed tones, her voice grave. Aakifahlynn did not know whether or not Taisiya had eyes out there. She simply needed Mr. Spencer to proceed on this quest for information cautiously, as she wanted to avoid word getting back to Taisiya. Word that someone was looking into her. She did not want any alarms to go off before time. Goddess knows her husband may have already set off sure alarms. If he did confide in the snake-ess, and why wouldn't he? After all, they used to discuss her so casually. Aakifahlynn realized she did not know who or what Taisiya was. Was she human? Or a witch? She had little dealings

Tigana thought it best to describe it differently from what Peter started saying. However, he did not know if he did an excellent job as he stared at Ms. Thompson's face, filled with shock and horror. D@mn it, his finesse was terrible. Aakifahlynn had only thrown out the question, curious about what Mr. High and Mighty were doing in this kind of environment after dark. She even doubted it was him, but the inner part of her wanted to know if it was. She even wondered if it was him, though. What was he doing here? Maybe undoubtedly scheming the demise of Queen Luna with her husband, she asked herself if he was going to see Mr. Spencer and what type of business they did together. Which suddenly had her uneasy, wondering if she could trust Mr. Spencer after all. But Aakifahlynn was not prepared for THAT answer. Well, at least the good news is, firs

    Aakifahlynn stirred awake, taking a few seconds to get caught up. She was resting but had no recollection of getting to her room, let alone her bed.She surmised Demarion, the disgraced Emperor who had brought her here after the hospital. Gosh, the hospital, Aakifahlynn, hoped everyone had fully recovered.She stretched and sat up, wondering what time of day it was and how long she had been out. Her pretty blue eyes slid to the large clock on the wall.Long and short, hands were on twelve, and by the light shining in from outside, Aakifahlynn knew it had to be 12 noon.She sighed. A day had passed, and she knew it. Aakifahlynn recalled it being midday when she was at the hospital. Nevertheless, she felt good but comprehended she needed to run.Thinking of her next move, sadness, and loneliness engulfed Aakifahlynn, and she took a moment to wallow, falling back on the pillow.It dawned heavily on her that she was entirely ALONE with no one to trust.And who she could trust, she wanted

    First, on the agenda, Aakifahlynn visited Pauline, and Pauline accompanied her to the hospital, which was almost overflowing with people suffering from the same ailment as Pauline's daughter.This hospital was more significant than the one in the Kingdom of Tamman. Aakifahlynn walked side by side with Pauline as she observed her surroundings.It was her first time here, and she still compared the Empire to the Kingdom. Little did Aakifahlynn know that this was not her first time here. Maybe in this timeline, it is her first time…The hospital smelt of bleach and some other types of robust chemicals. Aakifahlynn saw medical equipment and instruments in the Gazini Empire that they did not have in the Kingdom of Tamman either, and here she thought the crown had the latest and best in everything.It is a vast building with three floors, beds running the length of opposite walls, and no privacy.The second floor housed rooms where they perform surgeries; the third was for children.Upon e

    Suddenly, the clouds grumbled in anger. Darkness filled the atmosphere. Demarion had swooped in, ripped the Duke away from Aakifahlynn, and pelted him across the lot. He then disappeared and reappeared in front of the Duke across the lot, picked him up, and held him steady. At the same time, he shoved his sharp, elongated, claw-like hands into the Duke's chest and tore out his heart.Demarion moved with the speed of lightning; he did all this before Aakifahlynn could utter her next line of seduction or make another sound of pleasure or before the Duke could even process what was happening.Demarion squeezed the Duke's heart and crushed it; only tissue and clumps of clot-like blood caressed the dirt floor.Demarion was not about to watch her flirt and seduce this man. Goddess, how far was she willing to go? Goddess, damn it, he could not bare the thought.So yes, he did it. He killed him for touching his Empress.Aakifahlynn was shocked and then looked disappointed only because she wa

    Aakifahlynn ordered a drink and looked around. The place was at its usual pace. A few businessmen were here and there, and a few couples were having dinner. A band playing music to the left. The waiter returned with her scotch on the rocks. Aakifahlynn thanked him and continued her assessment of the Tavern. The decor was one of class and an ambiance of romance.An establishment like this is frequented by those considered high society citizens. Aakifahlynn soon realized the waiter was still staring at her, "Is something the matter?"Now that he had been caught staring, the now uncomfortable waiter said very awkwardly, "Please, forgive me, my lady...it's just that you are so beautiful."She was dressed as Adeline, but this was not the shy and meek Adeline. This Adeline also allowed herself to take a page from Taisiya's looks for the occasion of seduction before revenge or murder. Call it what you want, she thought with a devilish smile.And thanks to Roslyn's teachings, Aakifahlynn was

    "And don't you worry about me. I will be fine." Aakifahlynn paused momentarily and added, "I would like to visit the hospital," Aakifahlynn then regarded Pauline.She needed a guide to the hospital. "Can you take me there tomorrow?" Aakifahlynn asked politely, not wasting another minute.Pauline instantly let go of her daughter, dropped to her knees, bowed, and declared, "Anything you need, Queen Luna."Her Empress just saved her daughter's life on top of everything else. Of course, she would accompany her to the hospital.Pauline had told Aakifahlynn that Paula was not the only case, and Aakifahlynn decided then and there to find a way to help the Empire—only in an attempt to even the offer.Aakifahlynn was no fool; she knew what was promised was too good to be true, primarily because of what they wanted in return.Although she had accepted, that did not mean she was happy about feeling indebted to these people."Thank you, Pauline. Please keep this between us. I shall see you on the

    Aakifahlynn took the time to go through her list and grab each item off of it. Soon, she handed the sweet old lady named Ann a few gold coins for her purchases and then left.And lovely Ann could not stop giving her thanks. Before returning, Aakifahlynn wanted to pop into the bakery for some sweet cakes.She enjoyed them to the moon and back.On entering, she saw the lovely young woman she had met the last time. However, she looked distressed and a bit gloomy."Good evening, Dear." Aakifahlynn greeted gently and quickly glanced around for the sweet, active, and friendly redhead little girl seen at the bakery. She had warmed Aakifahkynn's heart on her last visit, but when Aakifahkynn did not see the sweet girl, Aakifahlynn's chest tightened.Pauline answered, but her voice was hoarse, almost a whisper: "Good evening, Queen Luna…how may I assist you this afternoon?""Pauline, where is Paula?" Aakifahlynn's intuitions told her something was off about this woman today.She did not know

    While Aakifahlynn settled in comfortably, her mind trickled to Jairus, and she debated again: Why did this happen? Why did he treat her this badly when he was made to love her? What did she do that deserved this? How could someone be so cruel and evil? Wicked even.Aakifahlynn knew she was not perfect. She'd done things in the name of protecting her Kingdom, but what happened to her in her past timeline was unjust.Aakifahlynn remembered begging Jairus to let her leave as she was unfit and unworthy of leading; she could no longer be helpful in the way she wanted to be and would only bring him down with her."The people need a strong leader, my love," she had urged. "You can't afford to have them see you as the weak Alpha King." Aakifahlynn pleaded."My name is feared in all the lands." Jairus roared."No one would dare challenge me." he pointed at himself, pushing into his chest, his features a dangerous snare."And what I say goes, I make the laws, and this, Aakifahlynn, is not happe

    "So, sweetheart, what are you planning on doing?" Aakifahlynn's mother, Arwen, broke the awkward and nervous laughter between the three. As far as Aakifahlynn's parents were concerned, they were already living a retired life, their finances were pretty good, and they could support their daughter until she got on her feet again. Meanwhile, Demarion simply stared daggers at Aakifahlynn. He would provide for her; she would want for nothing, but how could he tell her that right now? He flipped his fork between his fingers a few times as he contemplated. He'd already decided to allow this. Besides, half the Stygian is hers.Every time this happens, it is a new idea because she always starts off with a plan that includes a means of survival.These stalls were always left in the care of large, generational families, who would survive the test of time, honoring the contract she would set with strict instructions to be passed down from generation to generation.And if offered up to be run b
