MILDRED Another day went by, and there was no sign of Morpheus. I kept waiting in the bar for him and searching in the marketplace for him, but he was nowhere to be found. I went back to the place I found him working, but he did not show up either. "Are you still looking for the burly
"So, do you plan to follow this man everywhere for the rest of your life? A man who travels around doing nothing has nothing to offer you. Is this the life you want to live? Do you want to become a fugitive?" I paused my lips. Gregor was right. What was ahead of me with Morpheus? I had grown attac
MILDRED "Forget we had any discussion last night; I was drunk and did not know what I was saying to you." "But I know you are genuinely hurt, and I am sincerely trying to help." "It does not give you any right to tell the woman what I told you, and she does not have the right t
MORPHEUS "Morpheus," my mother called. My mother was glowing, surrounded by a bright light that made it difficult for me to behold her. She reached out a hand to me, but when I reached out to hold her, I could not. It was as if she was a figment of my imagination. "It is time for you
"What is it? Are you alright?" he asked. "No... yes. I am fine. I thought I heard someone out here." Gregor looked at me for a short while. "Mildred, you know it is dangerous to go in there alone, right?" "I was just checking the place out." "Come here," Gregor said, pulling m
MILDRED The night was getting interesting, and I was getting tipsy. The gentlemen surrounding me and Gregor were fine men, and they spoke of trade and businesses. I love listening to anything that does not belong to royalty and how I am supposed to be a woman, so I enjoyed their conversation
"What do you want?" Gregor demanded. The room has gone quiet, and everyone watches as the drama unfolds. "Mine!" Morpheus growled, and his voice was not even like that of a man. "What is yours? What are you talking about? Get the fuck out of here!" "Mine!" Morpheus said it agai
At a point, he grabbed my hands and held me, so that I was only wriggling in his hold. I could no longer hold back the tears, so I let them run. "You are upset, Princess." "Of course, I am, and you shouldn't have come back!" I yelled. For the first time since I met him, I saw somethi

"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
