MORPHEUS I watched as she slept soundly, curling herself up because of the cold. "Stubborn woman," I muttered. Why did she not accept the blanket from me? She was challenging me. Whatever I do, she challenges me. Odin was lying a bit farther from her, his blanket draped over his bo
MILDRED “What do you mean by that?” I asked Odin. I was aghast when he said he was leaving. I could not imagine moving forward without Odin with us. I have grown attached to him as a brother, and he could be a companion in the company of this cold mountain man who was too withdrawn to tell anyon
MILDRED He ordered me to stay, and I could not. I will not take orders from him. I was curious about this woman, so I stood and followed them out of the inn and saw her hugging him. Although he did not hug back, it did not sit well with me. I did not know what was wrong with me; I did not kn
MILDRED My heart hammered against my ribcage, the world spun around us, and I felt like nothing was real anymore. But that was when my common sense kicked in. Mildred, this man just disrespected you. This simple lip-joining should not get you too excited. I quickly withdrew from hi
MORPHEUS I left the room and shut the door behind me. I needed to get as far away as possible from her. She was not supposed to be with someone like me. I am only putting her in trouble. I know she will be fine without me. The moon goddess was always giving a mate one could not have. How woul
"What are you talking about?" "I found her unconscious in the forests, and she lied to me that she lost her memories and that her name was Viviana." "If you are found with her it would be treason and you could be beheaded for that," "I know, that's why I need your help. I have tr
I shook my head. “You do not know me, Laika. I have done worst things than what you know, there is no forgiveness for me.” With that, I left the place, not giving her the room to speak. I have done unforgivable things and did not think I deserved forgiveness. I had watched people die in m
MORPHEUS I took a step closer, but three burly men stood in front of me, blocking me from Mildred. A big, bald man was holding onto Mildred, and fury surged through me as I watched his hand on her waist. My jaw clenched, and I looked at the men in front of me. "Excuse me," I said, usi

"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
