Chapter Fifty-threeUlricEven after she left and acted like she was fine, I couldn’t push back the feeling that she wasn’t fine and she needed me. No matter how hard I tried to take my mind off it and pretend like nothing was wrong, the thoughts still kept rolling back in that she wasn’t fine and she needed me, she needed my help.I couldn’t go back to my room, I just stood there, on the same spot, my heart racing with thoughts of her and how I wished there was something I could do. I wished I could do more than just comforting her and wiping off her tears, I wished I could give her things she wanted and do whatever she asked me for, but couldn’t do a thing. I was completely helpless, just like she was.I spent minutes standing on the same spot, thinking about her and things I could do to help her. That wasn’t the first time I would feel just as a helpless and find my royal title useless, but it hurt me down to the core this time because there were things I wanted to do, important th
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-sixMaelisIf I were told to write a test on how I feel, I would fail miserably because I just couldn’t put my feelings into words, no matter how hard I tried.I wanted to hate Ulric, to resent him for what he did to me, but I just couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to do it, even after everything he had done. Why? Why can’t I hate him? I couldn’t have the good things go my way, and even the bad ones seemed to be working against me.He hurt me, he betrayed me, he broke the trust I had in him—what more could I do but hate him? But my heart was working against me. I found myself being drawn to him even when I wanted to pull away.I watched as he dragged his legs out of the room, and a low gasp escaped my lips. I was completely confused, unsure of what I wanted or what to do. I knew I would have to make a decision sooner or later, but how could I do that when I didn’t even know what I wanted? When I was still so confused? He did all of that to me, he hurt me more than I coul
Chapter Sixty-fiveUlric Kael told me to leave, and she didn’t say anything to stop him. She let him embarrass me like that, and she even added to it.All I was trying to do was make up for my mistake, to show her that I care about her, and I didn’t mean any of the things I said. Why can’t she see that? Why can’t she see my sincerity? I’ve tried to show her how much I’m willing to do to make things right, but she doesn’t even notice.Will she ever give me the chance to show her how much she means to me? Will she ever let me back into her life? I know I messed up, and I’m willing to right my wrongs, but she isn’t giving me a chance, and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve never been this restless about anything; I’m losing my mind.Even though they told me to leave, I couldn’t bring myself to go without knowing what they were going to do. I couldn’t just trust Kael with her like that. Kael isn’t just dangerous—he’s deceptive. He’ll deceive her and leave her with nothing.What deal was she tal
Chapter Sixty-fourMaelisI was helpless and hopeless. This was the exact thing I had been trying to avoid. I thought this little secret of mine would remain hidden after Ulric made Lucia promise she wouldn’t tell anyone about seeing me in the castle, but I was wrong, totally wrong. Nothing goes as I want them to do, I had forgotten that.I dragged my legs away, unsure of where exactly I was heading to. Going to the class would only set me up for more drags and taunts from the other students, and I couldn’t take it. The worst part would be Ulric standing up for me, and acting like the hero in my pathetic story when he was also one of my tormentors.How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been so vulnerable and soft to give him the chance to get to me so easily. All of these could have been avoided if I hadn’t been attracted to him and given him the chance to have his way with me.He used me! He fucking used me!The thought of that made his words ring in my head again, and I
Chapter Sixty-threeKaelHow could she? No one has ever talked back to me like that, no one dares to look me in the eyes and speak to me in such a manner. The most annoying part is she’s nothing but a mere slave, my personal slave, and she had the audacity to challenge me? The nerve of her!No one dares to do that!I was the prince, the future alpha king of this great pack, and I wouldn’t tolerate any form of disrespect, especially not from someone as insignificant as her. Even the pack ministers and council doesn’t dare to look me in the eyes to talk back at me! How dare her!The way she looked at me, so bold, so defiant—it made my blood boil, my skin thicken with fury. I wanted to tear that defiance out of her, to break her completely, to show her just how insignificant she truly was. Yes, I knew I made a mistake, I mistook her for someone else, and almost forced myself on her, but no one is above mistakes, or is she? She acted like she has never made any mistake in her life, I m
Chapter Sixty-twoUlricMy heart sank as I watched her leave in tears. I wished there was something else I could do other than just watching her walk away in pain. I wished I wasn’t that helpless and could help her out of this situation she was in.Now, the entire school has gotten to know that she worked as a maid in the castle which will only make her stay in the school here tougher than it was before.Even if I wanted to help her, she wouldn’t take my help, believing that I was the same as everyone else here. She said that to me.I wished I could turn back the hands of the clock and addressed the issue I had in some other way, other than just letting her off just like that. I could have handled Ella in another way, I could have tell her off by doing something else, but I jumped too quick into conclusion, and let her go. I said things I wasn’t supposed to say to her, I made her feel unwanted when I in fact wanted her to be with me every single minutes that passed.I made her feel li
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
