"Being monitored by guards isn't so hard Imelda, when the guy in question is so cute," Naya purred, gushing over her guard that followed beside us like a robot."Get a grip on yourself Naya," Maya smacked her."Ouch!" Naya winced in pain, rubbing her head as she glared at Maya."What was that for?""Stop twisting in your pants for him, he is just a guard and a fly we need to get rid of," Maya huffed, glaring at her own guard.We had three guards hovering over us, Naya swooning over hers, Maya spitting fire from her eyes at hers and me, I simply pretended that the stupid guard hovering over me didn't exist even though his presence was disturbing.We were supposed to be assigned two guards but we refuted, not like our opinions mattered anyways. We were just women and no one cared about our opinions. The King still rigid on his decision to have us monitored not until Derek intervened and it was reduced to one.Apart from the fact that a guard was hovering over me like a fly, one thing th
"Derek," Mirabelle called, caressing my chest and I turned to look at her, giving her my attention."When will you get rid of Imelda?""You have me here already so you don't need her anymore," Mirabelle pouted.I grabbed my glass and poured myself a drink, pushing Mirabelle aside."If you really want to get rid of her that much, meet the council of elders," I replied dismissively, not sparing her a glance.Ever since she stepped into the royal house, she has been all clingy and annoying. She hardly gives me breathing space and with her it's always stuffy."It's your life and you get to choose who you want to spend your life with. Just tell them to fuck off," she sassed and I scoffed. It's very annoying when she never takes the hint that I want her out of my sight."You can as well fuck off right now because as you can see I'm trying to relax but the more you talk the more you're stressing me out," I narrowed my eyes at her coldly and she frowned."Are you asking me to get lost?""Yes,
"Stand straight, do not arc your back," Lydia, our trainer barked at usNaya, Maya, Mirabelle and I all stood straight on pin heels, our hands stretched with books on top them and on our head, trying to learn balance. I am doing a very bad job at it as my legs keeps shaking, unable to take the torture. The girls and Mirabelle didn't even break a sweat."Imelda, you're not doing it right!" Lydia yelled, grabbing my shoulders."Your shoulders should be straight and your back should not be bent.""As the future Queen it is expected that you walk and move with dignity. You should carry yourself with pride and should never be caught lacking in your duties.""Who says she is ever going to be a Queen?" Mirabelle snorted."If you have time to criticize someone, find and correct your mistake," Lydia lashed at Mirabelle, approaching her."I'm getting it right," Mirabelle frowned."No you are not." Lydia grabbed her arms and straightened it, adding more books to the ones she was already carrying
I paced about my room worriedly. Who the hell organizes a ball to break women."The royals," Arla replied boredly. She didn't even look the least bothered about the ball."How are you not even bothered?" I screeched, scattering my hair."Because I don't think this is the first time I'm hearing about this.""Uh, what do you mean?" I frowned confused. I was certain this was the first time I was hearing this from the girls and so far, I haven't heard it from anyone else. So where else could Arla have heard it from?"I can't really remember, it feels like a part of my memory is missing but I'm quite certain that this is not the first time I'm hearing about the ball. So unlike you, I'm neither scared or surprised," Arla replied, confusing me further."Is there a chance that I've heard of it too somewhere but then forgotten about it?" I thought, not having the slightest clue of where Arla got to know about the ball from."Yes, there is," she asserted, sounding certain."Since I know, there'
Getting the perfect design for the dress I was making, I began making flowers which was going to be my emblem for my dresses.I wasn't totally rebelling against the Queen's dressing style; I was still making gowns the only difference was that I made them more comfortable to wear unlike the ones they kept forcing me to wear that choked air out of me.Mine was simply an upgrade and a better design. It was in a time like this I appreciated the fact that I had a designer, Scarlett, as my mother and she made me learn this even when I didn't want to."Give me the red flowers," I requested, engrossed in my sewing and Becca grabbed it for me. Ever since I remembered the events that took place in Derek's room, my mood has been totally off and so Becca decided to stay with me, keeping me company.As much as I definitely didn't need a babysitter, I appreciated the fact that she was willing to sit with me and offer me comfort, I really needed it even though I won't admit it.One would ask me why
"Why is she still on the bed?" The Queen asked, her voice sounding loud, disturbing my sleep. "I tried waking her up but she wouldn't bulge," Becca replied, frightened and I groaned in displeasure.Couldn't they keep it quiet? I was trying to get some sleep here and the more they kept talking the more they made that impossible."Imelda!" The Queen yelled my name."Can you lower your voice? You're being too loud," I grunted and some people grasped in horror. "Did she just ask me to lower my voice?" The Queen faced Becca in disbelief and Becca remained quiet, trying so hard not to laugh. "Imelda! I demand you to get up this instant!" The Queen yelled and I growled in protest, covering my head with my pillow."Get lost," I muttered and they grasped in horror again. I think the Queen also grasped in horror this time around also.I wish they would just leave me and let me sleep. If there was one thing I hated, it was my sleep being interrupted. I loved sleeping to my heart's content and
The Queen kept rambling on and on about duties as we walked around the palace. I couldn't help but wonder if her mouth wasn't aching her for having to talk this much. It was tiring and exhausting just to listen to her.The girls weren't doing better themselves. They were barely listening to a word she was saying but they just kept nodding to make her believe they were listening."Any plans on how to get rid of her?" Maya asked telepathically and I glanced at them but their eyes were both fixed on the Queen.I remained quiet not replying her. I'd rather endure the Queen's torture than talk to any of them. If they couldn't admit their wrongs then I have no reason to talk to them."Are you going to keep giving us silent treatment?" Naya fumed acting like the victimized one where as I was the victim of their disloyalty and secrets."You don't get to get angry when you're the one at fault," I replied, glaring at her."We did nothing but keep a secret that wasn't ours to tell?" Maya retorte
"If you're so adamant on following me around, make sure you keep up and try not to get lost," I squealed, running off and Lucas scoffed, running after me."Talking about getting lost, I should be the one warning you about not getting lost. I know every nook and cranny of this village so getting lost is close to impossible. I can't say the same for you though.""Well, you won't totally be useless then. If by any chance I get lost then you'll just have to search every nook and cranny of the village and find me since you claim to know the village so well," I grinned, mischievously and when he least expected it, I dived into a crowd, getting lost."Imelda!" He yelled as I rid myself of him."I guess someone has to warn him about being on the look out for your mischief. One can never know when to expect it," Arla laughed, amused.I was quite certain about the fact that he was going to find me, I couldn't dispute that fact. According to Becca, he was a tracker and not just that alone, he is
In the heart of the forgotten forest lay a place that whispered of shadows and secrets. The air hung heavy with an unsettling stillness, broken only by the occasional rustle of unseen creatures. This dark corner seemed to defy the very essence of light, where even the moon's hesitant glow dared not penetrate.The trees, gnarled and twisted, stood like ancient sentinels guarding the secrets held within the darkness. Their branches, like skeletal fingers, reached out in contorted gestures that seemed to tell tales of long-forgotten sorrows. Leaves, coated in a layer of dust, clung to the branches, their color drained by the pervasive absence of light.As one ventured deeper, the ground beneath shifted with a soft, eerie crunch. Moss-covered rocks, slick with moisture, lay scattered like forgotten gravestones. The very earth seemed to exhale a cold breath that sent shivers through any intruders. A pervasive dampness clung to everything, as if the place itself wept in silence.The darknes
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the estate. I couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement as I anticipated the evening ahead – a dinner with Derek, a man whose presence sent a cascade of emotions through me. The maids, with their gentle smiles, led me to the opulent dressing room, where an array of exquisite dresses hung like colorful dreams.The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers as the maids prepared a bath for me. Warm water embraced my skin, and fragrant petals floated delicately in the tub. The maids moved with a grace that mirrored the dance of the evening breeze, ensuring every moment of the preparation was a symphony of care.As I soaked in the fragrant waters, a sense of luxury enveloped me. The maids, with hands soft as a summer breeze, bathed me in scented oils that transported me to fields of blossoming flowers. Their laughter echoed in the room, turning the simple act of preparation into a celebration of femininity.Onc
I know that I created the group for all female wolves for us to come together to fight for a change, but one thing I never anticipated was the involvement of so many female wolves who wanted the same thing but were scared to actually make a move.The turn out for today's meeting turned out to be bigger than the last turn out and the ladies really seemed happy.This gathering was basically the first gathering in which I saw smiles on different ladies' faces and it warmed my heart that I was doing this for not just me but them.Even Mirabelle of all people was part of the rebel group. One thing I definitely didn't envisage was her ever joining the group. I guess she also wanted the freedom as much as we all did even if she never admitted it when we were still rivals fighting for the position of the Prince's mate.The shock on my face when she invited me was real and not just a facade to hide my involvement in the group. The fact that Mirabelle joined was quite shocking enough, but askin
DEREK'S POVI decided to attend to the files since I was unable to see Imelda. Hopefully I'll get to see her during breakfast and talk to her. Ever since Eric woke me up from my dream, I couldn't stop thinking of her. Thoughts of her have been in my head and I kept wondering what it would feel like to really touch her and not just dream about it.I flipped through the files, frowning. The elders wanted the rogue wolves dead but I saw no need for that. We needed slaves and they could come in handy if they were captured."Why didn't you object when they were talking about it yesterday?" Darren rolled his eyes, and I frowned."They only talked about getting rid of them, not killing them.""If you really think that getting rid of them meant capturing them then you're really dumb for a Prince," Darren sassed and I huffed, rolling my eyes."Well, I'll do the right thing since the rest of them basically don't know the best choice to make in situations like this." I grabbed my pen and signed
"I can't believe you actually rushed me to the dining table for nothing," I frowned, glancing at the empty seats."We're basically the only ones here.""Well, nobody told me everyone would be absent," Maya rolled her eyes, taking a sip from her wine.After rushing to make it to the dining room on time we found that we were basically the only ones present. Just Maya and I. Naya was still sleeping and wouldn't answer any of us. The King is busy in his study room so help be eating there and add for Derek, I had no idea where he was. There were rumors of the Queen having a brawl with Derek, and being sick at the momentI would have gladly stayed back in my room if I knew Derek wouldn't be joining us for breakfast. I only came to the dining room so he wouldn't suspect anything but it was all a waste because he wasn't even present.Becca walked in with some maids lined up behind her with our dishes. They silently served the dishes, and made to leave."Don't tell me you're planning on leavin
Alvary laid peacefully on the bed, the morning light filtering through the window and gently kissing his features. The soft glow revealed the contours of his face, creating a serene tableau that captivated my gaze.His hair, slightly tousled, hinted at the morning's reluctance to release its hold on him. I slowly reached for his hair, enjoying the sleek touch on my fingers. I couldn't help but admire the way the sunlight played with the dark strands, adding a warmth to his appearance. Alvary's features, relaxed in slumber, were a canvas of tranquility.My eyes traced the curve of his jaw, appreciating the rugged determination etched into its lines. Alvary's morning repose seemed to soften the rogue edges I was accustomed to, unveiling a vulnerability that drew me in.His lips, gently parted, were inviting and I felt tempted to kiss him as he slept. I couldn't resist a smile that tugged my lips as I remembered the events of yesterday night. His hand was all over me as he locked us away
Opening my eyes, I found myself in a place that felt like a dream. The air was different, not too hot or too cold, just right. I closed my eyes, relishing in the feeling that washed over me. It was peace untold, one that I never thought that I lacked. But breathing in this air made me realize whatt pure peace really felt like.I smiled in ecstasy, opening my eyes as I took in my environment. The first thing that caught my eyes was the field, stretching wide and endless. Grass, not the usual green I knew, but a shade of silver, brushed against my fingers as I walked through the field."Where is this place?" Arla asked, equally as stunned as I was."Well as you can clearly see, I'm as clueless as you are but I think I've been somewhere here like this before."I slowly remembered the dream about the strange woman I thought was an angel calling me Temis.I had met her in an open field like this as well and I couldn't help but wonder if she had brought me here again.I looked around, hopin
DEREK'S POV"You look ravishing, Derek," Imelda bit her lips, running her hands through my body as pleasure raked through my entire system."Imelda," I moaned, my head dropping backwards in pleasure."What are you doing to me?""Pleasuring you my love," she replied sultrily, showering kisses on my bare chest and I felt my dick harden in response begging to be let loose."What do you want Derek?" She whispered, biting my ears playfully and I closed my eyes overwhelmed by the pleasure."Don't be shy, tell me what you want," she whispered still torturing me slowly."I want you, Imelda," I groaned, shuddering under her hold."I want all of you.""I want to bend you over the table and take you right here and now. I want to hear you moan my name as I do crazy things with you and I want to keep you in my arms forever and have no one take you away from me," I grunted in response as she sucked my nipple.How she knew all my soft spots was one thing I didn't know. Her hands were like magic and
MAYA'S POVNaya laid on the ground, snoring. It had been quite hard to put her to sleep. After Imelda left she wanted going after her, saying she had to warn her mate as well.It wasn't easy to suppress or hold her down. At a time, she had ran off, running around the Royal house while Becca and I chased after her. I didn't know where Lucas was but Justin and Reiner helped us catch her and bring her back to the room.To avoid her running off again, we locked the door and the windows hiding the keys where she wouldn't find them.Frustrated with the fact that we wouldn't let her leave the house, she drowned herself in alcohol, crying her eyes out. It felt as though she had taken the crying serum as well with the way she was crying profusely."I feel bad for her mate already," Becca sighed tiredly as she laid sprawled on the bed."Well, I think he'll be able to handle her," I giggled, remembering what he looked like. He was totally Naya's type of man and he had everything she wanted in a
