Chapter Fifty-fourMaelisIf he hadn’t shown up at the right time, I didn’t know what I would have done, or what would have happened to me.I just couldn’t believe it, even with how hard I had been thinking about it, I couldn’t believe prince Kael would try to do something like that to me. Everything was still very hard for me to believe and I just couldn’t get over it.If Ulric had been even just a minute late, prince Kael would have ripped off all my clothes and forced himself on me, just the thought of that made me shudder. I clung unto Ulric like my life depended on him, holding him tight, and completely unbothered about us getting seen.If anyone tries to make a fuss about seeing us, then I would tell it to everyone in the castle how their much loved and respected prince tried to force himself on me.He was disgusting, he was such a horrible person. I knew he wasn’t an angel, I knew he was a bully and wasn’t a great person to be with, but I never imagined him being a disgusting p
Chapter Fifty-fiveMaelisI had heard it multiple times and from a lot of people about the effect taking beers has on people, especially the part where they start to misbehave, but all of these still won’t stop me. If that was the one way I could get these hurting thoughts off my mind, then I was more than willing to do that.I would take the beer, as much as I needed to block those thoughts off my mind, I was sure Ulric would be able to deal with whatever thing I do after taking it.I waited for more minutes for him, each minute I spent there sending memories of what happened minutes ago back to my head.I wished it never happened, because now I would have live with the haunting memories and pain from knowing that it could have gotten worse if Ulric hadn’t shown up to save me, I could have been forced to do what I didn’t what to do, I could have lost my dignity and prestige in the most terrible way possible.I sat there, my hands still curled up around myself and my eyes scanning aro
Chapter Fifty-sixUlric The words she spoke hung heavily in the air between us, the simple, raw confession echoing in my mind. She told me what she needed was me, and it caused a sudden raise of my heartbeat. The honesty in her voice was undeniable, and as she moved closer, her body pressing against mine, I felt a surge of emotions I could barely contain. The swirling and frantic movement of my wolf inside of me made me realize how much I wanted her too.The few hours after the moments at the cottage had been , I had spent wanting more of her, and it seemed like it was a very long time. I had wanted this—to be this close to her again, to be able to protect her, to be the one she turned to when everything else in her world fell apart. And now, here she was, reaching out to me in her moment of vulnerability, asking for something more than just comfort. Something I had imagined and wanted, something I also needed. Something I craved for.I moved closer to her, my hand still gently crad
Chapter Fifty-sevenUlric I lifted her in my arms and headed for the bed, staring deep into her hypnotic eyes which continued to draw me in, the effect of it was so powerful.I dropped her gently on the bed, and still keeping my gaze fixed on her, I pulled off my shirt, and then my pants, leaving me just with my shorts.I joined her on the bed and the soft moan that escaped her lips send longing through my body, I trembled by the great urge that overtook me.Gently, I cupped her face, my thumb brushing over her cheeks, her eyes staring into my mine intensely. I could see the same longing I was feeling reflecting in her eyes, it was obvious that she felt just the same way, a push that I shouldn’t stop.I could feel her pulse quicken under my touch. She leaned into my hand, closing her eyes for a bit as it seeking solace, or maybe gathering courage.When her eyes flickered open and stared into mine again, I felt a jolt of pleasure springing through the entire length of my body, from my
Chapter Fifty-eightMaelisThe kind of relief I felt was immeasurable, I had never felt so much relief since I got into this palace. It was as though everything had been put into a pause just so I could have a breathing space and catch my breath from the constant troubles and pain that I had been going through.Thinking about pain, I felt that sharp pain shooting through my parts and up to my chest to cause a sudden tremble escaping my body. I just laid there on the bed, staring at the ceiling as different though raced through my banging head.I couldn’t remember much of everything that happened last night, but I had a faint memory of some things, and I began to put the scattered pieces of the things I remembered together.I remembered following prince Kael to his room and how he boasted after making me his person slave, and then sending me to get a package for him, I remember all of that very well, I knew all that happened.Then, going back to his room and finding him sniffing a whit
Chapter Fifty-nineMaelis A deal? I was unsure of what he was talking about, or what deal he could have in mind.“What do you say? Are you in?” He asked.I just stared at him for minutes, wondering if he was up to t another mischief or was really serious this time. But I still couldn’t see that remorse in his eyes, he doesn’t seem like he feels wrong for doing that to me, so I couldn’t really believe the words he said.“I’m waiting, you are wasting my time.” He grumbled, peering at me as though there was something on my face. “Are you in?”I shook my head. “Not until I know what the deal is.” How does he expect me to accept to a deal without knowing what it was?Even though I was a maid, it didn’t mean I was dumb and didn’t know my right. How could I give in to a deal without him telling me what the deal is about first.“Well, it’s a smile deal.” He began and moved closer to me.I raised my hand, gesturing that he steps back because even being too close to him now makes me feel unco
Chapter SixtyUlricI wished I could take back every single word I said to her, I wished I could take it back. I wished I hadn’t said that to her, but what could I have done? How else could I have made mother happy?I was still in my room that morning with her on my chest as I swirl in the aftermath of our lovemaking, and I wanted more time with her. I wanted us to relive all those moments again, I had no single regret because they were the best moments of my life. Until mother’s head court-lady walked in and met us in that compromising state.Apparently, she had been knocking for minutes, and I was way too lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear her knock. All I was just doing was staring at Lis’s beautiful face and her sexy body, wishing I could have myself inside of her again, and imagining how great a morning sex would feel, until she barged in.Lis who was way too drunk and lost in her sleep couldn’t hear any of that. I tried hard to force Ella not to tell mother. She was one of m
Chapter Sixty-oneUlricI wished there was something I could do to avoid the impending chaos, I wished I could help her out of this situation, but I was helpless, just standing here and watching her.The moment she walked into the hallway, everyone turned to her, staring at her as though there was something on her body that they wanted to remove with their eyes.She looked worried and confused, I was sure she was trying to figure out why they were all staring at her like that.She had been through a lot in the last couple of hours and I didn’t want this to add more to the way she was feeling, but I wasn’t sure of how to go about it.She continued to look around, staring at each and everyone’s faces, as though she was trying to figure out why they were all gazing at her from him. When our eyes met, she glared at me for minutes before withdrawing her gaze and turning away.My heart sank, I never though it would be so soon. I knew we might never get to be together at the end of everythin
