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
Gregor looked like he would protest but said nothing. He led Karim and some of his men towards the room where he kept the map. Sekani was behind them, but he stopped and shook his head. "These two can never get along." Later, Karim, Gregor and their men found themselves huddle
AUTHOR'S P.O.V. "Swords out!" Karim roared. The air filled with the sounds of sharp blades leaving their sheaths. His men stood in three rows in the sparring area outside the palace, awaiting his instruction. He watched them intently, aware of the importance of combat training before any ad
MILDRED I watched Morpheus sharpen his knife. He had been silent since he sent Marcus away. I had so many questions on the tip of my tongue, but I could not bring myself to ask. I was angry at him and knew he was seething with fury at me as well. He still had me tied up, not allowing me to mo
This is nice, I thought inwardly, allowing the world to melt away with every gentle rock of Morpheus's body. I could hear the soft thump of his heart as my head was placed against his chest. "Alright," he said as if he had heard my thoughts, but his voice no longer held the anger he had again
MORPHEUS I was cornered, and it was all because I lost focus. For the past five years, I have been living my life always looking behind me, not letting anything distract me. But for the first time since then, I was surrounded because I was distracted. These men were warriors. I did not know w
AUTHOR'S P.O.V. Mildred was growing worried as time passed. She wanted to obey Morpheus one last time, but it was becoming more difficult. She heard slashes of knives and screams of men and wondered if Morpheus was alright. He had made her promise never to leave her hiding place. "I will just ta
Karim quickly entered his carriage and shut the door, leaving Gregor outside. Mildred was still fuming with rage when Karim got in, but once he entered, she fell calm, only glaring at him. Karim did not say a word to her as the carriage started to move. "I know who you are," Mildred said, tears st

"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
