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
MORPHEUS So many thoughts jumbled in my head, and I did not know what to do. Deep down in me, there was this fear of losing her, but losing her was exactly what I needed to keep her safe. If she found out about my involvement with her brother's death, she would hate me forever and blame herse
MORPHEUS I watched the man as he charged towards me, but his toe bumped into one of the tables, and he crashed face-down to the floor. I stood up from where I was and went over to him, thinking he had passed out, but he jerked up immediately and swung his sword, and I ducked, the sword missi
"So, who is Gregor to you?" "Gregor is the son of my best friend. She died from a rare sickness when he was still a lad, and I had to help with his upbringing because his grandmother was frail and could not work. When Gregor reached a workable age, I found him a job, and he took off from the
MORPHEUS I did not know if I could face Mildred that morning. I do not know if I am ready to face her yet. So instead of staying at Dora's inn, where she would see me, I went to the inn by the market. The news of the two men I killed had spread throughout the town, but I did not care. I was s
I hate him. I hate him. I kept telling myself that. I should know that he never cared about me, at least not in the way I cared for him. Before I saw him with another woman, I had realized in my long walk that I was only scared of hurting Gregor's feelings because he was a good man, but my heart a
MILDRED I grunted and stirred in my sleep. My eyes were still shut when I recalled everything that took place. Morpheus put me into an unconscious state. My eyes flared open, and I quickly sat up and looked around, taking in my surroundings. I was still in a cave in the middle of nowhere. I
"There are a lot of things you do not know about me, Princess." "I do not care about your past. All I care about is the person you are now. The person standing right here in front of me." "No, you cannot say that." He was avoiding my gaze so much. "You do not know me." With that,

"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
