Chapter Thirty-nineMaelis We finally reached the door of the cottage, and Ulric quickly opened it, holding it for me to step inside. I felt a rush of warmth envelop me as I crossed the threshold, the contrast between the chilly rain and the cozy interior was immediate. I felt it down to my bone. It was warm and cozy, giving me that homely feeling again. That feeling of wanting to stay there all day long wedged in my heart again, but the walk to the wood was great as well, I didn’t regret any of that.Ulric moved efficiently, quickly grabbing some more logs and adding them to the fireplace. The fire crackled cheerfully an casted a warm glow around the room. He led me to a spot near the fireplace and pulled out a chair, gently guiding me to sit down. I flashed a smile at him in appreciation, grateful for that and every other thing he had done for me, I couldn’t thank him enough.I pulled the chair, and as I settled closer to the warmth of the fire, the heat began to seep into my cold
Chapter FortyMaelisMy eyes jumped from his shorts to his eyes and back to his shorts, his question echoed in my ears and sent cold shivers down my body.I looked up at him and he still has the same face on, his brows raised as he asked me that same question without saying it. I could understand him.My throat tightened, I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t say any word. I brought the cup back to my mouth, only to find out that it was empty and I was just making empty slurps.I heard him chucked and then he bent to grab my hand, pulling me up from the chair, and do himself. My hands landed on his shoulders, clinging to him.His hand curling up perfectly around my waist made every never ending of mine come alive, I felt more alive and excited than ever. He pressed me closer against him, making my body quicken. The feel of his cock pressing against my stomach send gentle shivers down my spine.He tilted his head to the side, brushing his cheeks against mine and sending my entire body to a fro
Chapter Forty-oneMaelisI was being controlled by a presence inside of me, every of the move I made was influenced by this presence and nothing else really mattered at that moment than having him and letting him go on with everything he wanted.I wanted it too, I wanted every single thing, to have my hand on that cock of his that glisten under the soft glow of the light, I wanted to have ti inside of me because it seemed as though it was the only thing that could ease the ache I was feeling in my parts.The repositioning and of his hand on my waist sent shivers down my body. Any wrong movement and my hand would be on his cock, and I didn’t trust myself to take my hands off if I can have it on it, so I just froze up, trying hard not to move, even though it doesn’t seem possible.He cleared his throat gently and asked again. “Do you want me to undress you?”This time, I didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence before nodding my head to him in response.I wanted him to do that, I want
Chapter Forty-twoUlric I watched her sleep on my chest, her breath was soft and steady. She looked so peaceful, so content. The gentle rise and fall of her chest was mesmerizing. I wanted more, craved more of her, but I couldn’t bring myself to disturb her. She had been through so much already. Watching her lips pout as she breathed through it at intervals made my cock twitch with pain. The imagination of having my cock inside her mouth with her tongue swirling around me just like it was when she we kiss made my body tickle with arousal.I wanted more than just having my fingers inside of her, though that felt really good. Her tight pussy pulled my hand in and made me feel like I was met to be inside of her.The way her pussy clenched around my hand when she was about to come was a really beautiful thing. Watching her legs shake when she came in full force sent multiple sensations through my body and I wanted to do more.I didn’t just want to have my finger inside that tight pussy
Chapter Forty-threeMaelisI opened my eyes one after the other, the dim light in the loft gradually coming into focus and entering into my eyes. I closed it back for a few more minutes, turning away from the center of the light before opening it back again. I tossed from side to the other side, feeling the soft sheets beneath me as I realized I was on the bed. My heart fluttered when I realized that he might have brought me to the bed, the imagination of him holding me in his hands and bringing me up send my throat hitching.Slowly, I sat up, my body aching pleasantly from the pleasure and the intensity of the experiences I had shared with him. It felt blissful and heavenly, and I didn’t want him to stop, even though he had to.A small chuckle escaped my lips as memories of our time together flooded back. The way he touched me, the way we connected, it all felt so incredibly good. The way his fingers moved inside of me and sent my legs shaking, the way he kissed me hungrily and sent
Chapter Forty-fourMaelis“Where have you been?” Alisha’s voice echoed in my ears and I could do was just stare at her with my heart pounding hard in my chest.“Where have you been Lis? You’ve been out all day.” Lucy chimed in.My heart continue to pound in my chest as different thought ran through my mind, I wasn’t sure of why they were so angry and worried at the same time. Did something happen while I was away? Did madam Fiona find out that I wasn’t in the castle and made a fuss about it?My mind raced through different questions and it left me trembling with worry.“Did…did something happen while I was away?” I moved closer to them, my eyes scanning from one person’s eyes to the other as I tried to take every information I could from them.Alisha’s hand fell on my shoulder and she pulled me closer, away from the door. “You went out to have fun and left us all alone. We were in here talking all day with nothing to do.” She added and I was beginning to understand what they meant. “Y
Chapter Forty-five MaelisA lot has changed, more than a lot has changed. I was told by the nurse that there was no way the scars on my face would clean off, she told me I would have to live with it, I would have to live with the bitter truth that I was always going to remain that girl filled with scars forever.Even after that, I kept on looking into the mirror, hoping against hope that the scars would fade off, even if it wasn’t all, I hoped that a part of it would would fade off, but after years of checking and no improvement, I stopped looking into the mirror.It had been years since I looked into the mirror last and to see that most of the scars on my face has cleared off and it was just a few more hope and luck until the entire thing fade off.I looked at Alisha, my gaze shifted to Sophia, to Lucy and back to Alisha, my eyes filled to the brim with tears, I wished for this day, I hoped that this day would come and it finally did.Alisha’s hand swung across my shoulder and she p
Chapter Forty-six Maelis My body began to shake, my worst nightmare just became a reality and I was helpless, there was nothing I could do to save myself, and there was also no one to save me. I was sure Prince Ulric would have done something if there was really a way out, he would have found a way to bring me to his quarters if it was as easy as I thought. My gaze shifted to where Madam Fiona was and when our eyes met, she gestured sternly that join the other maids that were sent to prince Kael’s quarters. Each step I took towards them made my reality clearer than before. I wished there was something I could do, but there was nothing. I was stuck with prince Kael for the coming weeks of maybe months before the next distribution. I knew what I was in for, hell. He would show me hell and I knew it already, I could already feel the heat emanating out of the fire. The only thing that could help me was the hope that prince Kael wouldn’t care about me, or the next distribution would h
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
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 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 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
