LAIKA I was dragged across the forest by the twigs. I could not control myself or the movement until I stopped at the feet of some fearsome-looking men. The twigs untangled me, and I stared at the men who stared back at me, not speaking or moving. I sat up and glared at them. My whole body ach
LAIKA My eyes snapped open, and I found myself in the cave. The sun's rays were streaming in from the entrance. It was morning, the second day, and I was sleeping. I tried to sit up and realized my hands and legs were bound. I whimpered and looked around. 'Joy, what happened?' 'We
LAIKA "What do you want from me, female?" I stared at him in disbelief. His voice was deep as that of a man. "You... you can speak?" I stuttered. "Are you here to know if I can speak or not?" He left me and walked away to sit by a rock. I followed. "I need the petal of life,"
LAIKA The Jaw did not come directly at us; it hovered over the cave for a while, giving MOLART enough time to dissuade me from the fight. But I stood my ground. The Jaw glided toward me, and I felt a rush of energy. I did not withhold it, so I let it surge. I stretched out my hands and wielde
LAIKA I was left alone after that fight. I did not know where MOLART disappeared to, so; I thought of finding the petals myself since MOLART was not around. I was desperate; all that was on my mind was Karim and how he was doing. I sneaked in from room to room, searching for some petals. My s
LAIKA I glared at the flowers, careful not to look at MOLART because I did not want him to see the anger in my eyes. I am afraid it would piss him off. He walked up to me and patted my shoulder. "I will inspect it at sunset." He walked past me. Fuck you, monster, I thought.
LAIKA I sat there for a while, and when I could not keep my curiosity in check, I went out of the cave to find MOLART seated on the mountain, staring at the half-moon in the sky. I stood there and stared at him for a while, wondering if I should go to him or not. After much contemplation, I t
LAIKA Staying mad at MOLART means I will not get the petals of life for a long while. I must think of what I want. It was a few hours before dawn, and tomorrow was my last day getting the petal. I quickly stood when I heard MOLART's footsteps. He stood by the entrance in no time, and I glared

"Oh, that's excellent. I should get ready then." Morpheus headed for the bath but paused, turning to Mildred with a cocky grin. "Do you want to scrub my back?" Mildred eagerly agreed, starting to remove her dress. She was always enthusiastic to be with Morpheus. When they were both nude, he lifted
THREE FULL MOONS LATER... "My queen," the guard announced from the doorway, startling Mildred, who had been wrestling with nerves. It has been going on for several days. "What is it?" she inquired. "The royal visitors have arrived the planes of the kingdom." Mildred sprang from
"Penelope, come out," I urged. No response. "I need to talk to you." When silence persisted, I requested a flame torch, which was handed to me by a guard. Holding it up, I peered into the cell and found her lifeless body sprawled on the floor. The metallic scent of blood hung in the air. My heart
"Are you going to lie here all day admiring my perfection, or are you going to claim your crown?" he muttered and opened his eyes. Leaning in, he planted a lazy kiss on my lips. My heart fluttered as I remembered my inauguration ceremony today, and I was supposed to be getting dressed by the ladi
His eyes didn't intimidate me; I knew what it meant when they darkened. He buried his face between my legs, and when his tongue flicked over my throbbing wetness, a quick shiver ran into my blood; my thoughts became misty, and my leg wobbled, but he gripped my hips, holding me in place. "Mo
MILDRED I found myself torn between conflicting emotions regarding Morpheus for two days, so I distanced myself from him during that time. The choice between forgiving him and letting him go out of my life forever weighed heavily on my mind. He had made me cry the most since I met him, but the
"Of course, I want that," I replied earnestly. It was all I had ever yearned for. I longed to belong to someone so profoundly that I had wreaked havoc in Karim and Laika's lives. "I desire a family, someone to return to after the day's challenges, someone to share my thoughts with. I crave everlasti
MORPHEUS I moved silently down the dimly lit corridor of the palace, as quietly as I could, striving to avoid drawing attention or causing any disturbance with my unannounced departure. Everyone would discover my absence when they awoke. The palace remained hushed, although distant echoes of joyfu
