I wish I could tell her that I was going to hunt for meat for her. I could not provide her with a proper meal except for the beasts I hunt down. She does not deserve me; she does not deserve to be with me and suffer with me. The moon goddess should be smarter than this. I walked away, but she was
MORPHEUS "Put me down! Put me down right now!" the woman yelled, squirming in my hold, and trying to get down, but I gripped her. I do not know why she chose to be stubborn with me. She claims that I should put her down, even though a wild animal nearly tore her apart. Was she lookin
MILDRED I sat in a corner, nipping at the roasted meat the grumpy, beastly man gave me and staring at him with the boy that was around my age or younger. I do not know why that man was grumpy and cold. Why did he have to leave himself to look so shabby? I hated him already for treating me lik
MILDRED Odin's cabin appeared just as dilapidated as the cave. I am accustomed to opulence, adorned in gold, royal linens, fur, and fine leather. These torn, worn-out bedrolls were causing my bones to ache. Nevertheless, I chose to keep my true identity concealed, for now. Odin possessed lit
MORPHEUS My eyes snapped open at the slightest sound. I have not been able to sleep because the thoughts of that woman are heavy on my mind. After she left with Odin, I could not stop thinking of her, so telling myself that I wanted to be sure she was okay, I went down to the town in disgui
We clashed in no time and fought. I was built to fight, so I led the fight, even though the man was capable. We fought for a while, and when he got the chance, he fled with his partner, leaving me to wonder. Once they were out, I quickly donned my vest and went out of the cave. It is dawn now,
I wondered if he was thinking about me right now. Was he missing me? Where was he? I shook my head as if it would take his thoughts away from my memory. I looked up to see the hefty man looking at me. I scowled at him and looked away. What is it with me and hefty men? Odin came to me lat
MORPHEUS’ STORY 13 MILDRED I have never seen the man before, and his smirk and look were scary. Something told me he was dangerous and that I should run. "Hello, Princess." My heart fell into my abdomen. He knew who I was. He was here to get me. But I will not let him do that. I looked around

"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
