Now, as I looked at Lenora, I could see the love and adoration in her eyes as she gazed up at Horace. It was clear to me that she had moved on, finding happiness and love in the arms of my brother, and that she was serious when she said she would make me pay for her mother's death.I thought I had the upper hand because she didn't accept the rejection, but right inside that room, when she accepted my rejection, I knew there was no room for me.But I had to keep trying.My heart was heavy with regret and sadness as I realized that I had lost the three women the moon goddess gave me as mates.I watched as Horace pulled Lenora close, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her forehead.Despite my feelings of jealousy and pain, I forgot I had a woman who I loved and wanted as a mate; she was the reason I rejected Lenora.What was I even thinking? My head is so messed up.I knew that I had no right to interfere in their happiness, but I still have a right because she was given to me firs
NORA'S POV"What!" I gasped as I watched him rake his fingers through his hair."You are so naughty," Affirming, he jerked my head in the direction of his chest."I had no idea," He lifted his shoulder in a half-shrug while I turned my face away; he was so naughty.But if that is actually what he wants, I will gladly show him how much I love him tonight.I didn't know anything about it, but if I made the first move, he would take over.We emerged from the dining hall, greeted by the soothing glow of torches that lined the hallway. The warm sunlight created deep shadows on the granite walls, making the pair appear larger than life. Horace, in his gigantic figure with broad shoulders and shimmering muscles, led the way with my curvy waist in his hold.Some guards bowed to us before walking by, their gaze fixed on me.Who would actually do such a thing?Horace would spare no time beheading them.Some of them referred to me as a gorgeous and attractive woman with bright and intelligent
"I have waited for many years, yet my brother has rejected three mates but me... I got no one. Mother, I'm getting old," Horace said, his voice direct.Horace took a deep breath and let it out slowly before responding. "I couldn't stand to see her suffer," he said, his voice low and serious. "She was heartbroken, and I knew she deserved better than to be cast aside like that."Queen Naida regarded her son for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly as she considered his words. "I understand your compassion, my son," she said finally. "But you must realize that your brother may not take it likely, nor will he understand it from your point of view.""Do you realize the cold she felt from the rejection? The pack rejected her, and they all agreed when he wanted to sell her off."At this point, I knew he lied because I was especially hot.But then I began to think about why I was hot instead of cold. The moment a mate gets rejected, she automatically becomes cold, painful, and undergoes hea
"Come here and sit beside me." He pointed at the couch, which was opposite the Queen. "Sarah, prepare a warm bath for my son's mate. She looks worn off," Queen Naida said, as my eyes widened in shock. I turned and stared at Horace. "Is that true?" "No, it's not," I said, whispering. Closing the little distance between us, he drew closer to my ear, his breath tickling my inner nerves, "Don't worry, she's always like that; she has always wanted to do it whenever I got a mate." He whispered softly. "I will do just that, My Queen," Sarah said as she turned around and strode out of the room. "Son, have you noticed anything strange happening in the pack lately?" Queen Naida asked, her voice low and cautious. It was said that the grand Luna of every pack has keen senses and always notices any unusual activity among the pack members before the Alpha does, and I guess that's true because I was certain Horace wasn't aware of this one. Horace tilted his head, his bright eyes wide with cu
NORA'S POV We shared another passionate kiss before he reached for the doorknob and opened the door to their private chambers.The room was awash in a warm, golden light, casting a soft glow across the room. The bed was covered in rose petals, arranged in a beautiful heart shape, and a bottle of champagne sat chilling on the nightstand, and I wondered if he had set it up earlier.As we stepped inside, he took me in his arms and lifted me off her feet, twirling me around as I giggled with delight. This was something I had always wanted; I hoped for it, and slowly I was getting it. He carried me to the bed and gently placed me down, his eyes locked on mine.Someone cleared their throat, making us turn in the direction they came from.Bowing her head, "I'm so sorry, your Majesty. I was in the bathroom preparing a shower for my lady," Sarah apologized, and Horace placed his hand on his forehead."Oh, yes, I remember now," he said.I couldn't say a word as I lay down, my face was emotion
~NORA'S POV~His thick, jet-black hair fell in soft waves around his chiseled jawline, and his full lips were often twisted into a smirk that could set hearts racing.As he began to step closer, I could feel the heat emanating from his body, warming me from the inside out. His scent was heady and intoxicating, a mix of mint and earth that made me want to wrap myself around him.Without breaking eye contact, he reached out and ran a hand down my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. His touch was gentle, but I could feel the strength in his fingers, a reminder of the power he held over me.He was a perfect specimen of masculinity, his muscles rippling under his skin, his veins bulging with strength. I couldn't help but feel a rush of desire coursing through my body.I sighted his tattoos; it seemed like his tattoos seemed to draw me to them like a magnet, and I couldn't look away from the muscles that bulged beneath them.They seemed to tell a story, each one representing something un
Every movement was filled with love and tenderness as I undressed her. I carried her in a bridle style, placing her on the bed as our bodies were entwined and I lay on her slightly. Our hearts throb in unison.I placed soft kisses on her lips, trailing wet kisses down to her neck. I nibble and lick her pale throat, down to her pussy. She arched her back, squirming underneath me as I inhaled her delicious scent, and she gasped when she felt my hot breath on her sensitive pussy.I rubbed my finger on the tip of her clit, and she shuddered, reaching down to graze her nails on my back, making her flinch."H..orr..aaa..cce," she moaned loudly, and I loved how my name sounded on her lips. I wanted her only for myself.She arched her hips, "Please," it slipped out of her mouth as she reached for my hand, then placed it on her breast.I placed a kiss on her breast, then grasped it in my hand and gave her nipples a tongle flick, making her moan in pleasure. I mouthed her nipples and began su
Then he moved so it rested on my pussy. He fisted his cock with one hand and placed his hands by the side of my head on the bed to support his weight hovering above me. He directed his cock down to my pussy and began sliding his cock against my wet, slurpy pussy, slipping it between my folds and rubbing the head of his cock on my wet clit. "Arrgghh, fuck it," I squeaked. "I want it all inside me…." I pleaded, running my fingers into his hair."I will be careful; it's your first time," he said. "After that, you can have me as much as you want." I knew he was trying his best to treat me well, but I didn't want that again. I wanted him to give it to me anyhow it suited him.His smile was tempting, his eyes were filled with hunger, and the supple skin of his hard cock against my pussy was having its effect. I was feeling a stronger arousal the moment I felt his cock slide between my sensitive lips.I felt the head of his cock push achingly at the entrance of my pussy, and I wanted him
Five Years LaterAs the sun cast its golden rays over the grazed field, the sound of laughter filled the arena. The sun was setting, and the castle was joyful as everyone went on with their daily lives.It's been five years since the birth of Morgana, the daughter of a Tribrid, out into the world again. Morgana had grown into a high-spirited young girl.Running ahead of her was Nickolas. Ever since she was born, Nora and Gavner made sure to make her bond with Nickolas. Now, they were inseparable, playing around as Morgana chased after Nickolas. Their screams and laughter echoed throughout the open field."Morgana, be careful so you don't fall." Evelyn shouted so she could be heard as she smiled at their clumsiness.Moving into the castle with Nickolas, she grew fond of Morgana. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she admired the bond that the two kids formed between themselves."Yes, Aunty, I won't fall." Morgana chuckled as she kept on chasing after Nickolas.Over on the other side, Gavne
THIRD PERSON POV"Zelda... What? How's this even possible?" Mira stammered as she watched Zelda take a few more steps closer to her.Just like Lilith had told Zelda, she needed to take what was rightfully hers, so she decided to go back to the coven, but unfortunately, she couldn't give the comeback she really wanted to give because Lilith and Nora had killed the witches.Zelda chuckled upon seeing Mira... she was glad Mira was still alive so she could teach her a lesson."Are you surprised to see me? Or are you scared?" Zelda asked, and a cunning smile curled her lips as she glared at Mira.There was no way she would forget what Mira did to her... she just wouldn't forget it.Mira shook her head and said, "It's not possible for you to be alive! I watched the whole process as you were killed. There was no life left in you." Mira's hands trembled as she staggered backward.Zelda clenched her fists tightly as she decided to end it all—every single thing she went through in the past year
AURELIAPushing out a chair beside the dinning table as I sat down with a glass of coffee on my hand. I had promised Nora that she would live a happy life, afterall I was the one who decided to bring her into this life so I do not intend to make her suffer this much.I'm glad that she has been strong enough to undergo all of the misfortunes in this life.I felt so sorry to my daughter for causing her all of these stress, if I had let them kill her years ago, she would not be here going through all of these shit.For weeks, I've been contemplating on what to do to help clean up this mess... I had no idea what my fate was so I guess I just have to do whatsoever I had to do to end all of these.Gulping down the contents in the cup, I rose to my feet.~"What a long time Aurelia," Michela hissed turning her back at me as she strode past the hallway.She had always acted bossy to me so it wasn't a new thing, I had only come here to clear up everything. Nora didn't tell me but it seemed lik
NORAI wondered how worried Matteo was about me when he told me that, though it was really getting out of hand. Horace was making things worse, and I have no idea what to do about it.But then again, I can't leave the castle because if I do, the witches and whatever else they were, will come to attack me, and I'm not strong enough to handle them yet.I'd rather stay here, where I'm free.I'm a pregnant woman who needs to enjoy this period of her life, but here I am worried about my life and that of my unborn child, and then it was really great that I turned him down.I had no idea if he was worried about me or Lilith... why didn't I think of it?Lilith must have rejected his offer, so he came to me because he knew if I left, she must go with me.'I'm sorry, but I can't just leave.Come to think of it, I should run away... I should leave my family here because Horace is harassing me.I will survive his molestation, but at the moment I need to think of a way to clear this mess. Though I
MATTEOAs the days went on, I felt like I had no idea who Horace really was... he was changing by the day, and it was making me really scared.I had tried to talk to him, but he wasn't listening to me and always ended up shunning me away with a death threat.I was worried for everyone in the castle because we had no idea who would be his next target. I knew it was Nora, but then I knew he had his eyes on Gavner and Lilith.I was scared for them.~Days agoThe warriors were all seated under the mango tree as they talked about how stressful their day had been.Lopez sighed deeply, attracting other warriors, who tilted their heads, staring at him."What's wrong?" Thorin asked."I'm really scared of staying here in this castle... With everything that's going on in here," Lopez said calmly to avoid having his voice heard.Thorin and Gaius adjusted the way they sat, unable to say a word.Walker crossed his legs together and said, "Gaius, you were guarding the late Queen's chamber when that
MATTEOEver since I set my eyes on Lilith, I won't deny falling madly in love with her, but I was just scared that I might lose her again, just like I lost Elena.I didn't want that to happen considering the fact that she was taking care of Nora. I knew what the nature of her job stated and how she could lose her life any moment from now.All I just want is for her to be safe and sound. I can admire her from afar without her knowing, even though I'm aware that she's madly in love with me, but then there's nothing I can do about it.Ever since I returned to the pack after Horace and Rodriguez's fight, I apologized to her for how I reacted in the past, but she seemed to be slipping away from me. Maybe it was because I didn't know how to put my words together whenever I tried speaking to her, but within her, I just hoped that she was aware that I loved her with all my heart.All of my thinking migrated to when I accepted her as my mate... she was really shocked at my decision. I shut my
THIRD PERSON POVSeveral weeks agoOphelia couldn't believe Ambrose gave all of his powers to Lilith just to take her revenge on them. Now she won't forgive Lilith for ruining her plans.All of her plans have been ruined, and she has no idea what to do at the moment.She has lost everything…her son, her powers, Orion, who stood by her, Marcel, who always thought of a way out of any bad omen, and Rodriguez, who has left the pack and gone to prepare a better life for himself and a place to stay.She was all alone. Wandering in the wilderness, on the surface of the earth, she quietly hoped that she would run into Ambrose, even though he was dead.Standing several kilometers away, she could see a small home... It looked like an abandoned cottage. She smiled."Finally, I see where I can rest my head for some days, if not for that crazy bitch who ruined everything! Who the heck does she think she is?" Ophelia asked herself as she slipped her hands into her pocket to warm them from the cold.
NORAI had no idea why that happened to be the question Horace had to ask me... he made my heart beat a thousand times.Fear and anxiety engulfed my entire body system as I was shaken by forces I had no idea about."What do you mean by that?" I asked instantly, feeling uncomfortable.He shook his head. "Forget about it... I didn't mean to do that to you, and trust me this once when I say I'm not here to harm you," he said. The sincerity in his eyes pulled me to him.No!I waved it off.I wouldn't fall for his tricks, or rather, the tricks of the dragon!"Why are you here?" I asked, and I needed an answer that was straight to the point. "You know you can actually sit down if you want to talk to me, and not squatting right in front of me makes me uncomfortable."That wasn't the reason I said that... he was just right there. Very close to my unborn child. Why?Why does he have to be so close to me if he just wants to speak to me?Now I have no idea what to do. I'm heavily pregnant, and I
HORACESitting on a chair on the balcony, I just couldn't forgive myself for what I did to my mother. Now no one wants to come around because they are scared that the same fate will fall on them.Even I will assume so with the rate at which I killed people, not to mention my mother.That crazy dragon was using me to get the revenge he wanted on the people who looked down at him, and now I have no idea what to do.Who's next on his list?Nora?That reminded me... I hadn't seen her around lately, but then something about her was driving my head crazy, making me want to go and look for her.The last time I saw her, her stomach was really big, like she was due to have her baby.I know that she has no idea, but every single minute, I always pray that I don't get to hurt her for any reason, but when it happens, I just can't stop myself because I'm being controlled."Damnit!" I cursed.With time, I knew I would not have anyone who would sincerely stand by me. Everyone is avoiding and staying
