AUTHOR’S POV“Her head?” Victor asked shock evident on his face as he stared at Odessa. “Are you out of-” He paused before he could say anything in front of the maids. No matter what, he didn’t have any right to disrespect her in front of them. “You can’t just ask me to decapitate my maid, Odessa. Ask for something else.”“That’s all I want. Her head. She disrespected me and slandered my maid. I think I’ve tolerated enough insults from someone who isn’t even up to my standard. So you either give me her head or you forget about proving her right.” Odessa responded calmly. She loved the drama; in fact, she lived for it.Victor stood up to face her; Eira scooted behind his legs to protect her from Odessa. It was obvious that that woman wanted her dead.“Do you have something to hide? Because it appears to me that you do. You know that I won’t be able to accept that silly conditions of yours.”Odessa chuckled, “So you also don’t trust that your maid is saying the truth, that’s why you’re
AUTHOR’S POV “What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to get killed?” Eira flinched as the glass cup got smashed against the wall; she had to crouch down and wrap her arms around her body to protect herself from the shattered glass. She slowly looked up to meet Victor’s fiery gaze and gulped. If Odessa didn’t kill her, Victor would…at least, he looked like he would. “I…I-”“Shut up! I don’t want to hear another sentence. Every time you open your mouth, you drive yourself closer to death. I should punish you for the humiliation you caused me.” He thundered, Eira whimpered and moved back into a corner, trying to hide herself from Victor, almost as if the unmoving combination of brick and cement would save her from him.“Come here!” His voice bellowed, and Eira shook her head; she didn’t want to be anywhere near him when he was like this. Her rejection, or at least her weak attempt to show him she had a choice, angered him. “You must think I’m in the mood for jokes.” He walke
ODESSA’S POV“Where is it?” I asked, staring at the guard with a questioning gaze.He looked taken aback for a reason, in fact it wasn’t just him, it was everyone around me. “Is there a problem?”“Not really, Your Highness. It’s just… It’s just…”“Just what?” I was starting to get really annoyed and irritated. “We haven’t used the Minotaur in years. How did you know about it?” The guard asked and I froze. Of course, I’d accidentally slipped and asked based on my knowledge on my past life. I need to do damage control, quick.“Is that what you all are so shocked about? Because I know of the Minotaur? Fine then, if you must know, the King himself told me about it, now get me the whip.” But when the guard didn’t bulge, I turned to him in anger, “Did you suddenly become stupid? Get me the whip!”He fell to his knees in fear, “I’m sorry, Your Highness. But I can’t. The King himself placed a ban on it. It does too much harm than intended.”I walked closer to him in slow strides, swaying m
ODESSA’S POV“I’m bored!” Evelyn sighed and draped her body all over the chair, “Why hasn’t Eira healed yet? I want to play a little.” She whined.“The Princess did a number on her. I’d be surprised if she was fine by now. I don’t expect to see her for the remainder of this year.” Mitchell answered and I heard Evelyn sit up.“This year? Was it that bad?” Evelyn asked and Mitchell gasped, “Seriously? It was more than bad. We’re talking about the Minotaur here.”Evelyn huffed, “It’s not like I’d seen that weapon in action before. I missed the whole thing because of that silly vermin.” She sighed and I heard as her upper body plopped back on the couch, “Hugooooo…” She cried out and I snapped my book shut to glare at her.“I’m going to kick your whiny butt out of my room.”She pouted and rolled on her side to stare at me, “Can I at least go for a run?”“You just came back from one.” Mitchell chuckled, reminding her.“I know right. I’m just that bored. There’s nothing to do.” She turned he
AUTHOR’S POV“Get off! Get off me!! Help!!!” Odessa screamed as she struggled to push Victor off of her. Victor chuckled as he grabbed her hands, holding them with his hands and intentionally releasing them from his grip because he loved to watch her struggle. “No matter how loud you scream, no one is going to save you. These walls are padded.” He laughed when he noticed the panic that crept into her wide eyes. “Stop! Get away from me!” Odessa screamed. She would never let him defile her. “Shut it already. Even if they somehow hear you, you're my finacée. I can always tell them we’re roleplaying and no one will question me. We're bound to be married someday.” He grinned, a psychotic glint illuminating his eyes. When Odessa saw him grab a rope, she immediately began to fight back harder. If he somehow manages to tie her down, she wouldn't be able to stop him from doing anything to her. When Victor managed to wrap the rope around one hand, she clawed him with the fingernails of the
CHAPTER 49AUTHOR’S POVKaiden had almost lost his mind when Elixir told him that they discovered more enemy packs and tracks, they found their source and other camps that were being created. The rage that he'd felt knowing that those bastards were the one thing that stood between him and seeing his woman again had been the fuelling source of his attacks on the battlefield. Although, they lost a good number of soldiers in each war, but at the end they came out victorious and all Kaiden wanted was to see Odessa. Fuck! He'd missed her. Night after night, he'd imagined what it would feel like to have her in his arms again. His imaginations had suddenly left dreamworld and began to attack him as hallucinations. So as soon as the war was over, Fiery Celestial moon pack began to make their journey back home. None of them complained when the King told them to pack up for departure immediately. They wanted to see their families badly, and they were damn tired of seeing the desert for near
AUTHOR’S POVOdessa is immediately transported to the incident with Victor. His words resound in her ears. Because you'd rather have the Alpha King’s dick! A thick lump began to form in her throat as tears pooled her eyes. The Prince had been right about her. She was just like him, a cheating partner. Kaiden immediately paused, the hazy lust that filled his eyes dying down a little as he quickly assessed Odessa who had gone stone cold beneath him. “Odessa! Odessa!!” He shook her gently, worried that she was going through a panic attack but he soon realized that wasn't the case. He placed his palms on both sides of her shoulders and pulled her up, carrying her body in his arms and placing her horizontally against him, her head to his bare chest as she sobbed. He tried to think of what might have triggered such an opposite reaction from her. Was it something he said? Or was this her body’s way of telling him to stop? “I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I just can't…” She trailed off and
ODESSA’S POV“..., …cess…rinces…, Princess!!” I jolted upright, “Huh? Yes? Yes?” Evelyn pulled her head back and stared at me, “Are you alright, Your Highness? You've been out of it all day.” I grabbed the glass in front of me and downed the sweet, smoth texture wine before replying. “I'm good. Is there a problem?” I asked, dropping the cup gently in the table and looking up at Evelyn. “No, I just wanted to know if you wanted sauce on your salmon.” She asked. “Oh, Uhmm…just a little.” I said, punching my thumb and my second finger, close enough, but not quite touching. Evelyn nodded and went on to serve my dinner. I looked to the side and as soon as my gaze met his, I looked away, thankful for Evelyn wearing my hair down today. I turned the other way and hid my red cheeks from his eye view. “So, Victor, why don't you fill me in on the things that happened while I was away.” His voice booked in the hall. Victor cleared his throat, “Nothing much happened father.” “Oh, is that
