"And then we will have to prove to her that she is not fit to be a mate or a queen..." One of the ladies said. "She's such a lowlife," another claimed. They made a toast and sipped from their glasses. Regardless of how they displayed their stupidity, I kept on eating... I have not eaten a nice meal in the past few days. "I can't believe he reclaimed the messy bitch I rejected, hmph," Gavner said with a clenched jaw as he narrowed his eyes toward me. "Well, they suit each other." They're messy and clumsy. They always take positions that don't belong to them." Wow! That statement. I finally understood where all the hate was coming from, and I suddenly had the urge to speak up for Horace. I wanted to teach them a lesson. "You must have heard that your mate is an illegitimate son, who stole the throne from me, his elder brother?" Gavner asked me as he dropped the wine glass on the table. I have held myself back enough. "I think it's unproductive of you to dwell on rumors because
I walked out of the room and shut the door behind me.I needed to find a way to let Candra out of my life, even though I knew it would not be that easy.I walked into my study room. Candra was sitting there as usual, but today I wasn't feeling her."Why did you have to claim a mate when you know how much I love you?" She asked."Candra, I'm not in the mood for this," I said as I walked up to my chair and sat down."You are avoiding me; you just used me, and now you dumped me because of a woman your brother rejected? It doesn't make sense!" She cursedI ignored her, but she didn't look like she was going to leave me.She stood up, slightly. She continuously tapped her artificial nails on the table as she slowly walked up to me, rubbing her hands in a slow motion around my ears, down to my shoulders, then slipping her hand inside my robe, touching my chest, and beginning to fall in excruciatingly slow designs.She pulled my robe off as she suckled on my nipples, making me groan, and her
She saw all that! "You looked like you were enjoying every moment of it." She paused and puffed her nose. I held her hand tightly, waiting for her to spill all she had to say to me, but she was dead silent. "I'm sorry, I think I am overreacting," she said, releasing my grip on her as she wiped the tears running down her eyes. With a faint smile touching my lips, I placed my hands on her shoulders. I definitely understood her, and I knew what was running up there in her head. She was probably still considering herself lucky enough to be reclaimed by me, so she feels she is involved in my affairs. Slowly, I led her to the bed as the air became cool. "No, you are not overreacting; I know it was so wrong of me to do that." "I'm in a tight corner, letting Candra off me, and everyone is talking about how I reclaimed my brother's rejected mate." She looked down, wrapping her arms around herself as her lips quivered. "..of which I don't give a fuck because everything I do now... is def
There was a knock on the door, and Sarah went to tend to it.A maid eavesdropped into her ears, she nodded and shut the door."Her Highness, it's time." She said walking up to me, wearing some jewelry on both my wrists and my neck. I walked out of the room, following Sarah as she led the way. She held my hand as we descended the stairs leading to the passage.We met a young man standing at the exit, I had no idea what signs they exchanged but he nodded and opened the exit door leading to the garage."He is the driver," Sarah whispered into my ears.They were up to seventeen designer cars I had never seen in my life.The driver walked faster, then opened the limousine for me, carefully held up my dress, and I hopped in.Sarah sat in the front seat with him as he started the limousine, then drove out of the castle.I wondered where everyone was because, while strolling out, the castle looked empty.The driver drove into a place that looked so familiar... It was the hall where I got rej
After the ceremony, we rode home in silence. I hated it because it made me nervous but it gave me time to think about what I was going to give Horace as a response. Twenty four hours was already coming to an end. Then, I remembered the wedding consummation. A guy had never come close to me not to even think of touching me before, my mother made sure of that, and now I would be giving it to a man I really have feelings for. I wasn't scared but I just hoped he would accept me more. There's still more I want and hope for... even though he had just let go of Candra, I knew she was definitely going to come back. "All these ceremonies aren't worth it," Horace said as he broke the silence. "What do you mean?" I asked turning around in a comfortable way so I could see his face. "If Gavner decides to claim you back... I'm afraid he can do so," Horace said, as we locked our eyes, I could see the softness for me right there in his eyes. Even though he wasn't as bad as his elder brother, h
He walked up, closing the distance between us. "Have you thought about it?" He asked, and I nodded my head."Yes," I took a deep breath and stood up. His eyes glittered despite the darkness of the room, and I turned on the chandelier light."I want you to be romantically and emotionally attached to me; I want you to treat me like that one special woman in your life." I said as I unbuttoned one of his collar buttons, making him stare at me.His hot breath sank into my skin, sending shivers down my spine.Placing my hand on the left side of my neck, I said, "I want you to sink your teeth and mark me right here and make me yours; I want and need you, Horace," I said, my eyes not leaving his. I could feel the moisture forming in my eyes.He placed his hand on my waist, drawing me closer to him, and his other hand on my jaw. Our breathing hastened. “Have you ever kissed anyone?”I said still standing. “No.”“If you want me to do things to you...” he paused. "I will,"My cheeks were a nice
I shut my eyes tight; I couldn't explain what I felt. Grabbing my arm, he dragged me into a room and shut the door. "What are you doing?" I asked him, trying to push him away, but he was too muscular and I couldn't. "I am helping my brother," Gavner said. "I'm going to mark you right here," he added as his fingers caressed my neck. "Stop this Gavner; you rejected me," I said, slipping out of him as I rushed to the door. "Did you think I would let you off that easily? Huh?" He asked, his eyes widening, and I huddled in the corner. Did he just say let me off easily? He openly rejected me and almost sold me off. I ran my hand through my hair as I rubbed my eyes. I was feeling dizzy. "Gavner, stop this." I jerked away from him. He took a few steps up to me, stretching his hand behind me. He undid my ponytail and buried his face inside my hair. I cringed, pushing him away, but he pulled me into his arms, hugging me tightly. "Watch and see how I steal you away from him; you are s
I stood still, waiting for a response from him, but he did not say a word to me. I stared into his eyes, and I knew that he would not let Nora go that easily. "You left her in her bridal dress.. so I wanted to help her take it off." Gavner said nonchalantly to piss me off; his whole face lit up, smiling at me. I gave him a dirty look, grimacing, and clenched my fist by my side so I wouldn't have to throw a few punches in his face. "Why would you want to do that?" I asked as a vein popped out in my neck. My brother was really pissing me off, and I hated it; he clearly rejected her. My instincts kept on telling me that Gavner would never leave Nora, but now why would he want to mark her? All the while, he was trying to play dirty with her, and I stood right outside the door watching him. I knew he was aware that I was there, but he kept on playing that dirty game of his. Was he warning me? He wanted to let me know that he could take her away from me. I haven't marked her as wel
