⚠️ WARNING! * 18+ Mature audience only* Dreg watched as she walked over to the fireplace to get warmth. “You cower away from my presence, tell me Ilena do you not want this marriage?” “It is my duty as a princess of Thane to serve as your tribute.” She stated softly. It was an answer but not the answer that Dreg was expecting. Her statement only meant that she was willing to be married to him just to fulfil her duty as a tribute and that irks him. He raised her chin up to face him. “Then don’t cower away from my touch, you are my wife now not the princess of Thanes.” ****** The Northern beast king of Sulcar requests a tribute from the Eastern kingdom of Thanes and what better tribute than Ilena, the wretched princess of Thanes. Through a sudden marriage to the Northern beast king, Ilena is thrust into a whole new world that she could never have fathom. She discovers the hidden secrets buried in the blood of the Sulcarns and is faced with hurdles of being a worthy queen and a worthy mate for the ruthless beast king. Join Ilena through the roller coaster of adventures, betrayals, thriller and not to forget, the steamy romance that brews between her and the Northern King.

THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE VII
The night ended quickly, Dreg guided Ilena back to their home which wasn’t a castle but a beautiful large Manor surrounded by a thick forest. The moonlight illuminated the Manor as they made their way into the beautiful building. Torches lit up the earie stairway that led to their room which was more grand than she had imagined. “You seem shocked with how grand this room looks.” Dreg comments. Ilena flushed red. “I didn’t expect this....” Dreg chuckled sarcastically and began undressing which caused Ilena to avert her eyes shyly. “The rumours must’ve not done this place justice.” He teased. “No wait-” He shrugged off his vest and royal beads he wore around his neck, wrist and waist. “I know what your people think of me, of the North- this Barbaric King you fear is now your husband and there’s no changing that.” Ilena’s heart thundered in her chest at the thought of being misunderstood by him. She wanted to explain that she held no sense of disgust or repulsion towards
THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE VI
Ilena didn’t know when sleep took her after the long pleasurable night she spent with the King of the North. She blinked her eyes to get used to the brightness from the sun rays that illuminated the room. Her eyes widened instantly as she noticed the embarrassing position she was in. She laid nude and exposed on the bed but Dreg was nowhere to be found, the thought of him waking up and seeing her in that state made her face burn red. On cue, the door to the room opened revealing a shirtless Dreg who had a tray of food in his hands. Ilena quickly scurried to cover herself with the sheets with her head bowed but this time in shyness. Dreg walked over and placed the tray of food on the table. “Good morning.” He noticed as she shrunk herself further into the corner and struggled to cover herself. “Good morning.....my lord.” She muttered out just above a whisper. Dreg scoffed at her choice of words. “Back to ‘my lord’ are we, that’s not what you called me last night....”
THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE V
Dreg stretched out his calloused hand for Ilena to take which she took timidly and was led outside her carriage into the drenching rain. The rest of the Sulcarn men seemed un-phased by the storm pelting down on them as they watch their king use his large body to cover his wife as they rushed into the cabin. Ilena found herself leaning closer to Dreg’s warmer body for warmth as she shook violently from the cold. They follow the elderly lady to their room and thank her. “My lady, we can prepare steaming water for your bath if you'd like?” the elderly woman suggests. A smile stretched on her lips but she looked up to Dreg to know if it was okay for her to agree, he furrowed his brows but nodded. Ilena smiled at the woman. “Yes please...T-thank you.” The old lady smiled. “This way my lady.” She showed her a wash room where there was a single bucket of steaming water and a thin white sleep wear placed for her. “Miss, this sleepwear....” Ilena was confused to why she would g
THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE IV
Just like they had practiced the day before, Ilena walked slowly into the worship house in union with her father, the king who she had locked arms with. The melodic tune did nothing but increased the anxiety that bubbled in her, she could hear the gasp and whispers of surprise on how she looked. She shivered in fright as her steps drew closer to the dominant figure of the Nothern king who oozed confidence beside her. She had yet to look up at him out of respect but that only irked Dreg. Dreg’s heart pounded in his chest at the sight of the beautiful woman that has haunted his sleep from the first time he laid eyes upon her. A sense of pride filled his chest at his beautiful bride. Her glossy copper red hair stood out on her pale skin, the beautiful dress molded her womanly curves which made him want to rip it to shreds and see what was beneath all those fabrics. He noticed how she avoided to look up at him and trembled at their slight graze of touch. It irked him that she wa
THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE III
Ilena could feel her heart thundering in her chest in fear of what she had just heard from her father, the king. Loud murmurs filled the banquet hall by the nobles, they were all shocked by this new information that was just said from the king. Sir Glint stands abruptly. “We are to provide a wife for the Northern King as tribute for him to spare our lives!” he announces. Asla panicked, silently happy that daddy had spared her from marrying that Barbaric monster of a king. King Dreg of the Northern kingdom of Sulcar was known to be a fierce and vile king who kills without a second thought. King Egret cleared his throat. “I am to offer up one of my daughters for a wife as a tribute and I will be damned if I offer up my Regal princess of Thanes to that barbarian.” All nobles and officials nodded in understanding, they all drank from their chalice in celebration of peace in their kingdom. Meanwhile, Ilena stood numb with the chalice in her hand. This was a death sentence tha
THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE II
In the grand halls of the Royal Castle at the Eastern kingdom of Thanes, Ilena sat on the wooden bench, watching over her seven years old brother who was being taught horse riding. She let out a sigh of envy, she had always wanted to learn horse riding but her wants were always out of the question considering the relationship she has with her father, King Egret. “Ahh!” Rhett, Ilena’s seven years old brother yelped as he fell from the horse. She gasped in horror. “Rhett!” Ilena rushed over to aid him while the instructor called for help quickly. Rhett moaned in pain and clutched his right arm which he seemed to have injured. The medics rushed over with a few guards who helped carry him to the Royal infirmary. Ilena’s heart pounded in her chest in looming fear of what is to be upon her for what she has done. How could she be so careless to let the young crown Prince fall from a horse! The sore marks of the lashes she had received just the week before still felt as fresh as
THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE I
The sky was an iron grey, rain pelting the muddy field as lightning crackled through the dark grey sky, creating more tension between the opposing kingdoms who stood about a hundred feet apart from one another. On one side stood the army of the Eastern kingdom of Thanes, their golden banners which held the kingdom’s crest of a black stallion horse, soaked wet from the drizzling rain. Across the mud-slicked field, the forces of the Northern kingdom of Sulcar stood fiercely, no banner of their kingdom was hung up, only by their ink littered skins will you be able to identify them. A tense silence hung in the air with only the crackling of thunder and lighting filling the air. The twenty thousand soldiers of Thanes sat on their horses, gripping their spears and swords tightly as it rained down on their metal armour. The five hundred Soldiers of Sulcar stood on the muddy field, they were greatly outnumbered but they were un-phased by that revelation. They stood confidently wit
