She screamed one last time and took to her heels. The animal's eyes shifted from me to the woman running. It roared and lunged towards her, but I would die first before letting him get to her. I lunged towards the animal too, and we clashed in mid-air. Now, I do not know how far the girl had gone or
MILDRED I was feeling quite vulnerable and decided this was what I needed. Morpheus did not attempt to remove his hand from mine; instead, he held them tightly. I felt sparks shoot up from where our hands joined, into my bloodstream. My hand was beating, but it had nothing to do with our run. "W
I pulled her up and pulled her into a warm embrace. Her scent wrapped around me and warmed me. While I consoled her, I also basked in her warmth. She was fragile and so soft that I feared I would hurt her if I hugged her any tighter. She sobbed on my chest, her tears soaking my callous chest. "It'
MILDRED "Why?" I asked. "Why are you scared?" I saw him battle within himself. He avoided my eyes. I knew something was not right with him, but I would really appreciate it if he trusted me enough to open up fully to me. That would only build our trust in each other. Knowing my uncle, I kno
"What?" "Yes. She wanted to become the strongest mage alive and also rule the kingdom of my half-brother. I was so blinded by my anger and hunger for revenge that I put the woman I liked in trouble too. She was with a child at the time. Many people died; my mother included. She warned me to l
I wished she had not kissed me. Her lips, along with the warmth of her breath against my skin, awakened a new... fire. One that was not physical or had anything to do with the woods burning a few feet away from us. This one was further down and burned in my shorts. I felt the rush of our physical co
AUTHOR’S P.O.V. The King walked into his courtroom, and the people standing there bowed their heads. The queen trailed behind him, and they sat down on their thrones. A guard stepped forward and bowed before the king. "Your Majesty, a man is here to see you. He said he was a merchant o
"Do you fight?" he asked as he picked up another seashell. "My father taught me," I said. My father taught me some basic defence skills. Morpheus nodded and looked away. I knew something was on his mind. He could not even hide his discomfort. I smiled at him. "Are you afraid I will d

"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
