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
MORPHEUS I grunted and turned to lie on the other side. Blood had congealed in my arm, and it stung like thorns. I was used to lying on cold floors, but this one reeked of death. I opened my eyes, my head reeled, and everything was blurred. Pain shot up my spine, and I blinked twice to make out th
MILDRED Crazy things are happening. I do not even know who to trust anymore. A man said my mother wanted to kill me, and Morpheus said the man was not lying, but the same Morpheus has been lying to me and even let my brother die. He deceived me into trusting and loving him. I know my mother and I,
MORPHEUS The day of my execution has come, but I am not afraid to die. The only thing I regret is making Mildred hate me. I have tried to make things right since I met her, but I only made it worse. If only I had not allowed her brother to die. The guards in charge led me out of the pri
"Why did you do it?" I asked, driving my sword into a warrior's stomach. "Because you needed saving," Karim breathed out. "You are not my saviour. You know I could have fought on my own if I wanted to." "But you didn't." Karim shoved a warrior away and slashed another's
MILDRED My mother bound me up in her chambers before they went for Morpheus' execution. She said she did not want me to come there to spoil things for them because of my stubbornness. I wept bitterly as she left me there with some hefty guards by the doorway, but after a while, I heard chao

"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
