AUTHOR'S P.O.V. "You can't let him harm him," Laika said, cuddling two-year-old Claudine. She knew that Karim would not spare Morpheus when he sees him, and putting herself between them and trying to defend Morpheus would only make Karim more suspicious. Karim does not like when Laika and M
"This is not a war, Karim." "Okay, it is not a war, but we do not know what Morpheus is capable of. We do not know his plan. We must be cautious and not let our emotions override our senses." "This is not the case of my emotion overriding my senses. I am thinking straight. Ari thinks t
MORPHEUS I did not mind the crowd or the dancers in the centre I pushed through, shoving anyone in my way away, which earned me annoyed curses and hardened glares. The men have disappeared into the crowd, and I was following Mildred's scent. When I left the crowd behind, I did not see the men a
MILDRED I pleaded in my heart for Morpheus to be real. If he is not the one standing there, then I do not know what I will do. I should have learned the fighting skills he offered. I was a fool for living this carelessly and being so impulsive. Morpheus was older and more experienced than me
At that point, I did not know if I wanted him to catch up with us or for the carriage to outrun him, which was nearly impossible. Tears ran down my cheeks as I watched. At that moment, a lot of things started to make sense. His speed, his strength, and his advanced sense of smell and hearing. He onc
MILDRED I opened my eyes and blinked. My vision was blurry, but I heard shuffling footsteps around me. I squeezed my eyes shut for a while and opened them, and my vision became clearer. Morpheus came into my line of view, and the events replayed in my head again. I scooted back in terror, and
Dear Gentle readers, I want to thank you all, first, for your support and dedication. It is with a heavy heart that I write this. I have been sick for a while now, hence the slow updates. I will be going for surgery at the end of this month and will take a month's break from the first of August
AUTHOR’S P.O.V. The grand palace gates creaked open, revealing a procession led by Karim and his brave men in their magnificent chariots. Gregor and his companions, stationed at the centre of the palace, observed the entrance with mixed emotions. As Karim arrived at the palace's centre, he ord

"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
