< Serena >
Yes, for whatever inexplicable reason, I was filled with the mad urge to please this man. Despite how unpracticed I was in this aspect, I was acting bold and sure. The thought of him hating women was lost in my mind. He didn't seem to act like one back in the party and he wasn't rejecting me as I advanced now.
My wrist mark ached in sync with this need and it got my mind reeling of how good this ache felt as oppose to my earlier painful experiences back on Earth. I had already solved the puzzle with regard to this and it all went down to distance. The farther away I was from the king, the painful the mark throbbed, and the closer I am to him, well... it doesn't require a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Maybe this wrist mark indeed had some incantation embedded so that we couldn't escape each other or maybe it worked to remind us we were married. Whatever it was, I wished I knew the answer.
< Aero >I had to get away. I needed to get away. Far from her as much as possible before I eat my own words. I said so myself there was no touching involved. That I was pleased we wouldn't need to consummate our marriage. But look at what has happened now. We were both caving in and fast.I hated this development. It was starting to fucking mess me up, my piece of mind and my ideals. But, on the other hand, I couldn't deny the fact that I did enjoy our little session, how fragrant her scent was that filled my nose, how enticing her voice was when she whimpered for me, how good she was with her hands and mouth, and oh yes, how sweetly close she was to drinking all of my cum. If I hadn't intervened, then...Damn.I admit, I was so close to damning myself.Despite still feeling aroused and sporting a really hard cock, I used my ability to transport myself away from her and
< Serena >With all the stimulation earlier—both in a figurative and literal sense—I decided to soak on the pool inside my bathroom. Rhea, for some reason, hadn't shown herself to me and so I just helped myself, loading the pool with oils and essences enough to take off the king's smell of cum on me. Not like I didn't like it. It just would only make me remember our time earlier and his desertion and it would consequently piss me off.I tried hard to avoid remembering his face, his grunts, his uhmm...cock—its size and how handsome it was—or how he gloriously fingered me and with luck, it was a success. By the time I left the pool, I was refreshed and ready for a good night's sleep.So far, not one servant--or anyone for that matter--bothered to request me back into the party, so I reckoned they didn't need me there anymore. That was fine by me. I didn't want to see Lord Hale again and risk myself getting
< Serena >I wasn’t sure where we were going with our conversation, but I was pumped up to make him see I wasn’t just any woman he could discriminate.Sure I got moments of quivering lips and weak knees whenever he was close by and I couldn’t deny the inexplicable attraction I had towards him, but my will power was strong enough to see past those obstacles. Well, at least for the time being... He was a damn fine man after all and god, thanks to my sexual dreams, I had already admitted to myself I was horny for him.Anyway, what I said to him was true. I will be on top him soon, in one way or another...He responded to my statement with an amused expression on his face. “You’re acting like a luna,” he said. “I’m not sure whether to be proud of it or angry.”I finally heard that word from his mouth.A luna.Prince Elijah mentioned it. I hea
< Serena >Rhea and Prince Elijah decided to remain in the waiting room while I went inside the birthing room with Margaret. She gave me a mask beforehand, to cover my mouth; stated that it was for my welfare as the smell of blood inside the room tended to be strong. I just nodded, but truth be told, I already knew what a standard situation inside a birthing room looked like.Back in my college days, I volunteered in a lot of medical outreach programs. I wasn’t practicing any medical profession really. I just had this strong urge to help out those sick and bedridden.“Hi,” I greeted coupled with a soft wave of my hand once I stepped inside the theater. Sensibly, I distanced myself from the sterile area of the room, but it was enough for the pregnant woman named Theya to see me.“You—r, Your High—ness?!” she gasped. Even under labor she actually showed raw surprise on my visit.
< Serena >The Baltic Meadows.I imagined it to be like those places on Earth where the grass stretched as far as the eyes could see, its flora a variety of colors, clear blue skies and fresh air. When we arrived, I found that it was exactly as what I imagined it to be and more. So much more.Instead of plain green grass, the meadow here had a metallic attribute. When my heeled shoes touched the ground, it emitted a shimmering rainbow color, spreading around me and gradually fading. For a moment, I really thought I was in dreamland until I touched the grass and found it was real and as solid as my body.The air was clean and slightly cold despite the glaring sun—the sun that actually had light blue halos around it. This was a key reminder I wasn’t on Earth anymore.Facing north, I could only see hills upon hills of meadows. Turning west, the meadow broke and revealed snow
< Serena >With unsteady breath, I looked up and saw the man I wasn’t expecting at all.“Get the fucking up,” King Aero barked, but even with him ordering, he reached out to me and assisted me to stand.“King Aero,” I muttered in disbelief. ‘He is here! Why is he here!’ my head cried out.His hold around my waist tightened and I was left struggling to breathe with this.“Contain your fear, woman. I could feel it even when I was in Ehnrelil,” he ordered.I stilled and willed myself to relax.“You could? How?” I asked, the fear and panic I felt earlier were washed away with his presence, and...oh, so was the throbbing headache and the pulsating white light in my eyes.Now, in his arms...pressed up against his body...feeling his warmth, feeling his slow breathing, I felt secure. Protected. Loved?He paused f
.< Serena >Yes, we finally arrived in Cirelles, the town near the castle where it had quite a busy market. Our travel time was about twenty minutes on foot after declining the offer of my maids to use the castle coach. It wasn’t really an arduous walk. We had fun just watching everything around us.Apparently, the guards in the castle didn’t bother us when they saw us walk past the castle gates. Security for a royal persona seemed close to nothing. Unlike on Earth where the royal family was heavily guarded with bodyguards, here, as queen, I had none and I thought it was either their lax security or that they were just really confident with their kingdom’s peace and order and their people.Rhea and I were both in awe with the town and its not-so little market. Stalls after stalls were seen from left to right of the sidewalks. It was organized in a way that customers could freely choose the merch.Not lo
< Aero >Usually, meetings with the other leaders of the realm were as boring as hell. Well, except for the routine rivalry among some of them that would end up on binge drinking, but on this occasion, inside the fae realm, it was particularly special.Ehnrelil had closed its doors centuries ago. The last time I heard it accepted someone not fae was in the funeral of their previous king, King Alduin. After that, they had closed their realm to outsiders under the new rule of the widowed queen, Queen Adna. I was just a young wolf back then, hopelessly needing company.As to why she did so, nobody knew, but rumors said it had something to do with the dead king's brother, High Elder Geraden.Now, as I wondered, why would she welcome us again? There must be a backstory to this invitation and I couldn't wait to uncover it.I sat next to the King of Sattus—the only man in the me
EpilogueSerena“Ryland! Raziel! Rule! Be ready!” Aero roared as he paced in front of them, acting as game master in this friendly competition of brothers. He was dressed in nothing but trousers while the triplets, as usual, copied their father, acting as if their pre-pubescent muscles could contend to Aero’s bulging ones. The three were lined up within the yellow line, ready and waiting for the red flag to be released.I sat on the stone bench outside the mini arena of Alchidna just observing them. On my lap was Scarlett, trying to shake her baby maracas to the best of her ability. She just turned two five days ago while my triplets reached their teenage status a month before that.Scarlett was a heaven-sent to Aero and I. We were never sure what gender we would be blessed in my second pregnancy, but luckily, it was a female. A princess. Aero let me name her, and I used the Earth name of t
Chapter 57 – Baby StepsSerenaAero broke our kiss when we arrived in our favorite spot in the hot spring.“Welcome back,” he greeted and gave me a wink.I chuckled at this and turned to face the area where we made lots of cherished memories together—well, mostly hot ones.“Don’t just stare. Go and dip. You need to rest. I’ll massage you.”Hearing this, I tossed him a disbelieving look. “What? The great alpha king wants to massage me?”He pulled down his pants and straightened before me with pride in his eyes. “Yes, but you should know I only do this to the woman I love.”“Well then, massage away, my dear alpha king,” I answered before I bit my lower lip.My heart fluttered when he touched me again, first to caress my shoulder and next to trace the mate mark on my neck and the crescent moon mark on my wri
Chapter 56 – The BeginningAeroI didn’t doubt Serena when she said she wanted to deliver our children in a cave and with me assisting her. She trusted me with our sons’ lives. She didn’t second-guess me, so it was only right I shouldn’t second-guess myself too.Obviously, this wasn’t what we planned at all, but considering the circumstances, this was the best we could get. Serena seemed contented, so I was contented.Seeing her in pain, it sliced me to pieces. I wished I could fight this battle with her. I wished I could feel the same pain as what she was feeling, but I knew this was an obstacle reserved only for her.When our firstborn arrived, my happiness was over the moon.A father. The word echoed in my head repeatedly.I couldn’t believe I am a father now.I wanted to celebrate, but I knew it was best to do so later. Serena was due to deliv
Chapter 54 – Precious SoulsSerenaA sound of a cry and a huff escaped my mouth when I realized who just materialized inside the cave. My husband, who looked so good, so handsome, but also so worried, stood before me. My heart instantly leaped in joy.Finally, he came and right on time.“You never called me,” he said as he stepped forward toward me.“I was about to,” I answered, half wincing, half smiling.His warm hand contacted my cheek, and I reveled in the feel that it brought.“How are you feeling?” His gentle eyes landed on mine. His other hand touched my contracting belly and moved it up and down the roundness.“Tired,” I replied. “I’m in labor, Aero.”“I know,” he simply answered. He looked so calm on the exterior, but I knew deep inside his many emotions were swirling
Chapter 53 –The Scent of the QueenAeroI must say, Calaheim did me a favor. The area where the portal ended brought me inside a house that sickeningly smelled like Sofia. I was in a foyer in what I could reckon as the second floor, judging from the nearby stairs I spotted and the grand chandelier hanging on a beam just leveled with my line of sight. Below me, I could hear a woman talking—or more like complaining—together with a man groaning in pain.I instantly recognized their voices. One was Dr. Rutherford or Hilda with a rougher tone now than before, and the second was from Viscount Daniel.Slowly, I inched closer to the stone balustrade to spy on the situation. The viscount’s rough state made me clench my hands instantly.He was shirtless and bloody, with his arms and chest wounded with a slicing cut of a blade. This blade was visible on Hilda’s hand. The edge was pointed to
Chapter 53 –ForgivenessAeroHadon was sneaky, but I was sneakier. What I did was to only use my enhanced sense of smell to locate him everywhere he went in Ehnrelil. I observed enough distance between us; hid under the shadows or behind the walls and watched his every move.First, Hadon went to the Council of Elders’ tower. Did some paperwork there until he left two hours later and went to the Rexhus Tower. There were priestesses in training there. He observed them with a disappointed face and demanded more from them. Like a boastful man, he showed his spells—cheap magic tricks that even a fae child could do. But there was one that caught my eye. It was the cloaking spell he used when he kidnapped Serena.I gritted my teeth while I watched him show it off to the priestesses. I wanted to rip his throat apart, but I knew I had to be mor
Chapter 52 –Tailing the FaeAeroQueen Adna looked morose when I teleported to her throne room. Gone was her beauty. Gone was her radiance. She sat on the throne, slumped, silent and without life. It was ironic to watch her like this because I knew, if I was a female version worrying about Serena’s welfare, I would look the same.When she noticed my entrance, she perked up and her expression lightened a bit.“Have you found her?” She stood and asked without delay.I shook my head and maintained my neutral face. My anger remained on the surface just waiting to explode; waiting for me to unleash it to the right person. I just needed to find this person first.“No, I still haven’t, but I found out who took her,” I answered.Queen Adna’s worried ex
Chapter 51 – The Luna EscapesSerenaLike what Viscount Daniel said, I ran—or more like plodded—as far away as possible from Sofia’s house.The house was impressive—that was my first impression when I first glimpsed it en route to my escape path. The walls were made of white bricks and it was covered in vines almost deliberately to camouflage it with its surroundings. It had a landscaped garden and toadstool pathways—a standard in every fae house, but hers was a weird dark violet. The house was surrounded by autumn-colored trees and lavender-green grass; quite picturesque if not for the owner and the people living in it.The bluish color of the barrier was visible around the house, yet I couldn’t quite figure out the depth of its coverage: how many kilometers it stretched or how high it reached the sky.D
Chapter 50 – Her Majesty’s SaviorSerena“What does it feel to be hopeless now, luna? It’s fun, right?” Hilda stated as she continued to stare down at me. Her mocking voice was dripping with confidence, so similar like her daughter’s. I wanted to lash out, give her a witty reply, but the state I was in reduced me into a moaning mess.I embraced my contracting belly and ignored her instead.“Your husband will never find you. You are doomed,” she continued, still with the viscount by her side, just looking at me with no emotion in his eyes. “My daughter’s house is imbued with her magic—from the surrounding landscape to this very building we stand, and with Hadon’s help, this place is forever hidden. No one can enter unless I will it so.”“Mhhhh!” A whimper of
