Kaidaira’s point of view. “Save me goddess..” I mumbled as I pounded through dense forest, my paws thrashing against the earth with a frantic heartbeat. Usually, my wolf form was a symbol of strength and freedom, but now it felt like some fragile shield against the dangers closing in. Every stride burned, my legs aflame with exhaustion, my lungs heaving. My injuries, sustained in that desperate bid for escape from the palace, weighed me down, refusing to heal as fast as I needed them to. Sweat fell from my fur, plastering it to neck and shoulder. The metallic taste of blood was in my nostrils, along with the earthy scent of damp soil and decaying leaves. Branches whipped across my face, their fingers scratching at my cheeks, leaving stinging but light scratches. My heart ran like a runaway drumbeat in my chest, my senses on high. Every snap of a twig, every rustle of the leaves, made me flinch. The forest, once a sanctuary, was now a maze of terror. I dared not look back,
Kaidaira's Point of View How did I—one of the best fighters— become a slave? All because of a man. Rough hands grasped my arms, yanking me away from the only refuge I'd known. The Egyptians' brutal grip felt like cold steel, their fingers digging into my skin like talons. My legs buckled beneath me, roots and rocks tripping me up with merciless cruelty. The forest, once my sanctuary, now seemed like a distant memory, a fleeting dream shattered by the harsh reality of my captivity. One of them, a hulking man with a twisted grin, forced wolfsbane into my mouth. The bitter taste exploded on my tongue, a toxic invasion that left me reeling. "Swallow," he growled, his hand clenched around my jaw like a vice. I swallowed, the potion coursing through my veins like liquid fire, dulling my wolf senses and leaving me vulnerable. Panic set in as another guard struck me in the stomach, the blow landing with precision cruelty. I doubled over, gasping for air as my diaphragm went into spasms.
Kaidaira’s point of view. The weeks dragged along, each day so much like every other that it was impossible to tell where one started and another ended. It was some sort of never-ending, grey twilight that refused to break into dawn. It was like the very walls were closing in on me, cold stone exhalations damp with chill leaching into my bones. Memories of my time with him haunted me, always whispering in my head day and night. His touch, his voice, his gaze-things that clung and poisoned my mind. That evening, the guards arrived at my door. Their faces were vacant; their eyes cold as the stone floors. "The king requests your presence," one growled out, like a roughly hewn door scraping across its floor. I followed, my heart heavy with foreboding, my feet dragging as though weighted by invisible chains. The corridors stretched out before me, dark and foreboding, the torches that lighted them casting eerie shadows on the walls. The flames danced,; demonic silhouettes cast scary
Kaidiara’s point of view. Months passed, and with each day, a touch-and-go balancing act for survival-thwarting stone walls whose faces, from the wear of centuries of whispers, had been ground smooth as velvet. My cell, once a damp, dingy affair, slowly emerged from this metamorphosis into a small but elegant retreat. Plush cushions in rich burgundy invited me to take a seat, while tapestries in their warm colors showed forests of olden times with their mythical creatures. Slowly, it would weave tales of a long-forgotten lore. The air was alive with scent: sweet-scented candles in the form of lavender and vanilla wafted their soothing aroma, masking the stench of oppression. Fresh flowers-roses, lilies, carnations-overflowed from delicate china vases, their petals unfolding like tender kisses. It was then that the king's mercy came with strings attached. He coddled me with comforts because I bred his child, but my freedom still remained only an illusion, an elusive dream forev
Kaidaira’s point of view. The darkness of the forest writhed and twisted around me, living darkness taking menacing forms. Trees loomed; their branches grasped at me, skeletal fingers. I crawled, my body screaming in protest with the movements-a death knell echoing through my bones. I was still reeling from the aftershocks of the transformation. But then, as if the moon itself took pity on me, its silvery light burst forth. The whole forest was transformed; bathed in an unearthly light, the leaves shone dew-kissed and diamond-like, and the trees were motionless, their branches etched against the sky like fine pen and ink drawings. An uneasy silence fell with the notion that night creatures had vanished. The air was heavy with anticipation, save for the soft rustling of leaves and some distant mournful hooting of an owl. Hours, it seemed, or even days were passing-the only small notion of time in that wide desolation. My pain gave place to thirst: the drying parchin
Kaidaira’s point of view. It was six months from that night, but with Caspian before me now, my heart swelled with love. His small hands knitted into fists while his fragile eyelids fluttered at the gentle rhythm of his breathing. The sun beamed through the window and settled in the downy softness of his hair, fitting him out like a halo. It danced golden on the tiny nose, rose-petal mouth, and round cheeks. His soft coos and scent of baby filled the room, an acute memory of what I was to lose. But suddenly, there echoed through the distance that unmistakable sound of marching boots-a cadence of doom. The tremors vibrated through the floorboards, deep into my chest, a growl of warning. Instinct yammered a warning, every nerve in high alert, as if the very air was electric with danger. Trouble. The air grew thick with tension as I turned to our vulnerable position: our small rustic house, lying on the very outer edges of the pack territory, would provide little protection
Kaidaira’s POV I could have ran, trying to escape their hold. But for the sake of my child, I chose to stop, and give in to Thane Riven's men. I knew of the reputation of their kingdom, I had heard the tales whispered about the Alpha's ruthlessness, his fury, how he could destroy thousands of wolves without lifting a finger. And now, standing before the Alpha king himself, I couldn't help but feel small under his gaze. It felt like he was stripping me naked by the way his eyes scanned me from head to toe. I had to lower my eyes to my blistered feet that had carried me here, to avoid his eyes that were boring holes into me. “I am Kaidaira, Your Majesty,” Despite my attempt to keep my voice steady as I answered his question, I failed. My voice came out weak, that I could barely hear myself. But I knew the king must have heard me. My head might be lowered, not meeting his eyes, but telling by the grunt I heard, I knew he had his eyes narrowed, and his lips tugged to a side in a
Kaidaira's POVI couldn't refute the King's command. Disobedience would be treason. Now, I was seated right next to Thane at a grand dinner among chiefs and elders. My heart pounded uncontrollably in my chest as I recalled his last words just before we entered the hall.“Remember, this is a test. Fail me, Kaidaira, and I’ll kill you myself.” His husky voice filled my hearing sense as he whispered low, and close into my ears, making the hair at the back of my neck stand in response.I tried my best to maintain my composure, focusing on the task at hand. My role tonight was just to appear as nothing more than a meek, obedient girl—beautiful enough to distract his uncle, and lead him to his damnation. According to Thane, his uncle had returned to the kingdom after he had gone for many years, claiming the throne as his birthright. Thane could have killed him by himself, of course, but a bold murder of royal blood would definitely stir whispers, maybe even rebellion amongst the chieftains.
Thane's POVI could see the surprise and fear written all over her face, what was she doing there, how did she find out the location of her child, could she somehow communicate with her child like a telepathy or something.Soon I realized I was getting worked up for no reason, she hasn't seen her child since birth there was no way she could recognize him but then he looked just like her, I'm a mess."What are you doing here?" I asked angrily."Your majesty, I can explain," she said fidgeting."Then do that before I unleash my anger," I said, my eyes blazing like fire."I was sent on an errand by the head maid to deliver these letters to this lady here," she replied calmly and I was shocked of her sudden composure, she was fidgeting not long ago and now she's so composed."What were in the letters," I asked."I do not know your majesty, for it is considered sin to look upon letters you were sent to deliver," she answered wisely making me feel like a fool.I turned to ms. Hegsworth and
Chapter 31Kaidaira's POVAlas! My future seems predictable. All I need to do is to continue pleasing him till I can convince him to let me see my child as soon as possible.Last night began to play in my head, how his hand trailed my skin, giving me shivers and unexpected pleasure; he filled me with mind-blowing orgasms.As I remembered, I became hot, my hands found their way to my clit, and started to rub it gently, I slid one finger in my hole and pump it in and out, then I added another finger, this made me whimper, I couldn't scream for the fear of someone passing close to my room.I added another finger in; it felt like paradise but not to be compared with what happened yesterday; I imagined it was Thane's long, slender fingers that made it even better.After a few more pumps, I came with a body-shaking orgasm; I lay on the bed, mind blank.I lay there for a few minutes and then stood up; I had not shown my face to the maid's head today, so I arranged my dress and walked to the
Kaidaira's POVHow worse could this get.I slowly took off my clothes, and he took off his robes, leaving only his trousers on him; I could see the line of his dick through it, and that made me hot.After taking off my clothes, he told me to move closer to him. I did, and in the blink of an eye, he grabbed my lips and kissed me aggressively, not that I hated it.As he kissed me, his hands went down to my clit, and he played with and teased it, making me cream; I wanted more, I wanted his dick inside me, and I knew he was going to do just that.He pushed me to the bed and climbed over me, raging like an animal. I could tell he was the type that liked it rough, but I was ready for whatever came my way tonight.Then all of a sudden, he stopped, came down, and looked at me, then he pulled down his trouser, revealing his big dick; he smiled because he knew just what I was looking at.He was so hot and sexy without any clothes on, only looking at him like this could make me come. With the w
Kaidaira's POVWhat!!! Carry his heir? What happened to Calantha? Isn't she his Luna? Why isn't she carrying his heir? Why me?"Your majesty, I am nothing but a mere slave; I cannot carry your heir; it is not right, your majesty," I said, trying to find a way out of this dilemma."I dictate what's right and what's not. You will not disobey me, and besides, as you say, id, you'd do anything to see your chi,ld or has that changed?" He said using my words against me."Your majesty, if I may ask why me? Of all the women of the pack, why choose me?" I asked."Because I wanted to," he replied nonchalantly. "Would you accept it or choose never to see your child again," he said.It was a hard choice, and he knew I was happy for nothing. Perhaps my prayers didn't reach the ears of the moon goddess.I should agree; it was better if I did; I had a better chance of escaping that way; if I rejected this offer, he might have me killed."I will do it, Your Majesty, but I need your word that you wou
Thane's POVEveryone in the pack came out as soon as the order was placed; if everyone had come for the feast, it meant I would feed hundreds dreds of thousands of werewolves.But I felt it was worth it, to see her without anyone noticing that I wanted to see her. Many people came out to the feast but Kaidaira wasn't out yet.I searched for her in the crowd until I saw her walking graciously, she was indeed a beauty. As I stared at her, my wolf decided that she was the one he wanted to bear my heir.Why does he want this mere slave to bear my heir when there are many other beautiful women of class? Indeed, there were many beautiful women, but Kaidaira surpassed them all; she was beautiful like the moon.She sat at the far end of the sitting arrangement. I supposed she did that to avoid me, and it's understandable, but I was angry because where she sat was close to Alex.I wanted to chase him out of the pack but this would disrupt the truce between us.When it was known to me that ever
Thane's POVI stared at my commanders; they were speaking, but I could not comprehend what they were saying as my mind was very far away."Your majesty," they both said at the same time."Where were we?" I asked nonchalantly."Uhm, we were talking about the Ravenmoon pack, their weakness; we concluded that we're going to war with them today," Roy said, emphasizing every word coming out of his mouth."Oh, so are the warriors ready?" My question carried irritation."Yes, Your Majesty, the warriors are more than ready," he replied with confidence."Okay, I'll be joining in the fight," I replied."No, Your Majesty, we can't allow that; we can handle it, Roy said with concern."I wish to go; I want to fight with my brothers, side by side; I won't let them go alone, and besides, the Ravenmoon pack is quite a big one," I replied."Gaston, prepare, his majesty is joining us," Roy ordered. "I will take my leave now to go prepare for the battle," he said then bowed and left."Alright," I repli
Kaidaira's POVI had prepared for this but I was still shocked at his request, how could I sit on his laps but I had to do it so I would be able to convince him into letting me see my child.I walked towards him like I was being controlled, I sat on his lap and great heavens he reeked of alcohol, this thighs were strong.I sat at the edge of his laps but he pulled me closer, I felt something hard under me, my insides tingled, I was getting hot from just the feel of it.He kept adjusting me on his legs and I let out a soft moan, this made him harder.He sniffed my skin while loosing the lace of my dress, he found his way to my breast and kept fondling them, he pinched my nipples and I felt a spark run through my body, I wanted more even if it wasn't right.His hands moved slowly to my undergarments exploring his way through there, with ease he found my clit, rubbing it in such a way I couldn't comprehend, my whole inside felt jelly from the smooth roughness of his hands.He slid one of
Kaidaira's POVI stood there in shock, I wasn't expecting Thane to be at the door, he stood there with his eyes staring at me with such intensity that made me shiver. "Your majesty, of what do I owe this honour," I said avoiding his eyes. But he didn't respond, he kept coming closer and closer, eyes didn't leave my face, no even for a split second.I moved backwards, trembling, he could see the fear in my face."Are you that scared of me?" He asked."Of course I am scared of you, aren't you supposed to know that," I definitely didn't say that to him, I was too scared to."Your majesty, who can look upon you and not tremble," I finally replied.I could see a little satisfaction on his face, all men are the same soothe their ego a little and they're satisfied. But he wasn't satisfied."Now I want to ask you a question and I want you to answer me truthfully," he said."What question, your majesty," I asked."What's going between you and Lord Axel?" He asked.What was his concern if the
Thane's POV "Call me Roy," I said to one of the warriors beside me. I kept walking to our planning room. I sat down and was served tea from the maids, the place was filled with papers, maps and ink."Your majesty, you called for me," he said."Yes I did, I have something important to discuss with you, sit," I said.He bowed then sat down, he was a very loyal warrior, I never regretted making my beta, he made things easier."We need to prepare for battle," I said, leaving him in suspense.His eyes widened."Battle, with who and why?" He asked."I had been thinking of ways to expand the pack and this is an opportunity to do so, I found a pack called the windrunner pack, it's a very small and vulnerable pack so this should be easy," I said showing him the location of the place on the map."So how many men do we need for this war?" He asked."Three hundred men should be enough," I replied, doing the calculations in my head."Since it's a small pack that should be enough," he said, taking
