"M-my lord" Helios stuttered putting more distance between us. I would disappear this instant if I could. My eyes remained on the king who continuously looked between Helios and me. "What the fuck is going on here?" He growled. "W-we" Helios stuttered, unable to say anything. I couldn't find my voice either. "Why the fuck were you holding her?" He marched to Helios and grabbed him by his collar, growling in his face. "Nothing my lord. We were only talking" No it was far from talking. 'Then say something' my wolf growled at me but I stayed silent. Like I said, I couldn't find my voice. I couldn't speak at all. "Stay the fuck away from her. I don't want to see you around her""Y-yes my lord" King Tyron let go of his collar and Helios struggled to regain his composure. "Get the fuck out of here" Helios didn't wait for a nanosecond, he disappeared from sight. He was gone now and I was left alone with a raging king. "What the fuck do you think you are doing with him" "We weren't d
"I knew it" she giggled. "I knew that you were the king's mate. The signs were pretty obvious. He hasn't shown any interest in anyone for the longest time. Not even when she was alive" I knew who she was talking about. "If you're trying to hide it, you're not doing a very good job. From what happened today, there are already whispers about what your relationship with the king could be""There is nothing. Absolutely no relationship""But the moon goddess...""Forget about that Martha. The goddess may have paired us but we have no relationship. We aren't mates" "I understand things are not good currently...""They are terrible. And they cannot get better. We have no relationship and nothing will ever happen" she sighed. "I know it'll get better""Please Martha" I didn't want to hear about any of that. "You must not say anything about this to anyone""I know. I mentioned my suspicions to Hermes and he told me not to say a word out loud. I know there must be a reason why the king is
I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't believe what I was seeing either. The king's wing? Personal servant? What was happening? I looked around and all the girls had left the dining area. I had to find Martha. I couldn't accept this. It was enough that I was forced to be here. I won't be around him.I stepped out of the dining room, heading straight to the kitchen to find Martha. I entered, looking around but I couldn't see her."You want something?" One of the women asked and I nodded. "Yes. I need to find Martha. Do you know where she is?""No. She hasn't stopped by here today. Have you checked her bedroom?"Bedroom? Was that the place she had taken me to that day? I couldn't remember the way to that place."Can you point out her room to me?""Ask around," the woman said and went back to what she was doing. I knew I wouldn't be getting any more help from her so I went outside. There was hardly any servant in sight and the ones I did see were hurrying off, but bothering to stop whe
"What place is that?" I asked with a frown. "A good place""I don't just want any place Martha. I want a safe space. Where nobody can find me"I had no idea where I was taken last time. I was grateful to Amaris for taking me away but I didn't want to go there this time. My memory from that night was hazy and I only remember seeing Amaris. Martha claimed she was there too but Amaris insisted she was the only one.I don't know who was lying but what reason did either of them have to lie. Anyways, chances that I would be found in that place were high. I didn't want to risk it. My heat would be stronger this time, and it would take away my common sense. I need to be properly hidden away so that I wouldn't be easily found by anybody until my heat was over."Yeah. It's a good place. Only few people know about it but nobody ever goes there. It's also very far from the castle so you don't have to worry"I nodded. "Where is this place?""I'll take you there on the day of the full moon. You
KING TYRON's POVI took fast steps to my room. It was an hour before lunch and I was usually not around during this time. But I knew Nevaeh would be cleaning in the room. I noticed she has a pattern in cleaning the room. Only coming in once I was gone and disappearing as soon as it was time for lunch. She must think she had been lucky, getting out every day without running into me for once.I scoffed at the thought. I wanted to see what she would do when I appeared in the room and she realized she couldn't run away. Just yesterday, I could smell her scent as we made our way upstairs but once we arrived in my room, she was gone. The only trace of her was her scent. My wolf was putting silly ideas into my head. He wanted me to ban everybody from coming up here so only her scent would remain. "My lord" I heard one of the warriors calling as he tried to catch up with me. I looked over my shoulder and saw Cassius, Hermes trailing not too far behind him. I groaned in annoyance as I sto
He pulled away for a brief second, pushing my hips against the counter edge with one hand, the other hand was squeezing the fullness of my ass. I wanted to have his lips on mine again and like he read my thoughts, he wrapped his arms around me, one hand on the base of my neck, the other gently turning my head for a kiss. And kiss we did! Long full kisses, our tongues entwined. Passion and energy flowing between us. I didn’t know when we moved to the room as I was consumed by his kisses.He moved his hands lower into my thin dress to cup my breast, squeezing and rubbing the heavy and aching globes, making my arousal increase. I was so sensitive everywhere he touched. Long Tyron’s lips were now on my ears and then my throat. His breath was hot against my skin, and his tongue licked all the sensitive spots. He teased my flesh between his teeth, nibbling, and licking.It only briefly crossed my mind that I was kissing the king, the man who had rejected me doubtlessly and made me know ther
There was a low throbbing at the base of my skull. I tried to open my eyes but it hurt even more. I rolled onto my back, the sheets tangling around my legs. It felt so hot....my body was soaking the sheets.I opened one eye, and I saw a table. A very unfamiliar table pushed at the end of the wall. Where was this? This wasn't my room. I sat up abruptly, opening my two eyes and looking around the room. This wasn't my room either. I saw a figure from my peripheral view and turned fully to the right. There was someone in bed with me, his hair covering a part of his face. But from the way my body awakened just by staring at him, I knew it was King Tyron. I panicked. What happened? I couldn't recall anything. How did I end up in bed with King Tyron? How did I... He moved his arm, rolling onto his back. I wanted to stand up and run away but my body couldn't move. I remained stuck in place just staring until he opened his eyes, confusion taking over his features. He sat up as swiftly as I
I saw Martha coming towards me and I swiftly changed my direction, entering into the dining hall. “Over here” I saw Amaris wave her hands and I quickly walked towards her, taking the vacant seat.“Morning” I smiled at Amaris and Juanita.“Morning. Where did you go this morning? I looked everywhere for you”“I went to get the clothes from the laundry” “Couldn’t you have gotten it later?” Juanita asked before stuffing her face with bread.“I didn’t want to go down there after breakfast”“This is for you” Amaris pushed over a tray and I got started on my breakfast.“I don’t know if it’s just me, but Martha keeps staring here. Like she wants to come over and join us” Juanita commented.Of course, I could feel her piercing gaze on my back but I pretended not to. Doing that will only give her room to approach me and I didn’t want that. The incident of that day had been swept under the rug but I’d learnt something. And I may not have a strong hatred for Martha like Amaris did but I had mad
FIVE YEARS LATER Loud squeals reached my ear and I heard the sound of tiny feet running closer to my office. It was only a matter of time until they ran into my office. Jaden was the first to burst in through the door and Alaric followed a few minutes later, panting heavily. "I'm the first to get here. You have to do as I say" Jaden said with a wide smile, excited that he had won whatever bet they placed. Alaric was still struggling to catch his breath and I was worried. I moved towards them immediately, getting to my knees in front of him. "I...I'm okay" Alaric held his hand out for me. "I told you no running. It's bad for your health" I scolded softly. Alaric never completely healed and his lungs didn't get any better. Vigorous activities were too much for him to handle and even when I tried to be lenient and let him do whatever he wanted, we ended up regretting it. He wasn't cut out for some activities. "I'm really okay" "He's done" Jaden pulled at my arm. "You're alway
Two days later and I was lounging in bed with Tyron. He left his office to spend a few minutes away from all the work but it ended up turning into hours. His fingers played over my stomach and he lightly touched me. Since the news, I found him unconsciously touching my stomach always. His hand was always there. And if there was nothing to convince me, that was enough. He liked the idea of a child. And I knew I had nothing to fear, with him and his support, I'd be the best mother. He stiffened under me and I slowly got up from his chest. "Is something wrong?" I asked and he shook his head. "Patrick is here" I suddenly felt tense at the news. "H-hes here?" "Yes. Let's go" It was time to finally find out if I was indeed pregnant. "It's going to be good news" Tyron chipped my chin but I looked away. "What if it's not? You've been so excited by the possibility and then it turns out...""Shhhh" he placed a lone finger over my lips. "I hate that you worry about everything. Even the si
He set me down as we arrived in the room and he closed the door, pulling me by my hair to kiss me again but I stopped him. "Alaric...." "Hermes already has him now. Stop worrying" he kissed my cheeks. Finally feeling relaxed that Alaric was not alone. I stood on the tip of my toes and kissed him hard on the lips, darting my tongue deep into his mouth. A feeling of wanting that I've always felt with him spread through my body. As our kiss broke, I slid my head down and began pulling at the button on his pants, quickly releasing his stiffening cock. He groupâmes loudly, his cock pulsing in my grip and I fell to my knees. My desire to taste him was overwhelming so I put his cock in my mouth and sucked hard. As it grew, I took more into my mouth and was soon bobbing my head up and down, sucking his cock with all the lust I had. I was sucking and taking his cock deep into my throat until my nose was pressed against his abdomen. With a loud grunt, his fingers in my hair tightened and,
Life only got better from then on. After I spoke with Tyron about his attitude and I was able to convince him to stop feeling guilty. He stopped avoiding me completely. I saw him every moment. He dropped whatever he was doing to spend time with us. Alaric and myself. I was happy...free. I had no reason to fear or hide. All my tormentors were gone. Eunice and her family were kept in the dungeons of another pack. Our old pack was merged with a nearby park and the pack no longer existed in the books. I couldn't help but wonder how they felt about what happened. I wanted to feel bad for them because of the change they would have to endure but I couldn’t bring myself to. I didn’t feel sorry for them, not even in the slightest, and maybe that made me a terrible person but I didn’t care. All of them turned a blind eye to the torture I suffered in that pack. They tried to partake in any punishment I was forced to endure. They never felt sorry for me and I shouldn’t feel sorry for them eithe
KING TYRON's POVIt was late at night and I was still busy working. Kaden's pack needed a replacement but my options were limited. Another option I had was simply to merge the pack with another and be done with it. With the way it was going, the latter would be my final decision. I still had to sit with the advisors and debate on it though. I moved the stack of papers and faced another one when the door to my office suddenly opened. I looked up in surprise and saw Hermes.I wasn't expecting him to still be up since it was very late in the night. "Do you need something, Hermes?""I was wondering if you need any help with work. You've kept late nights for a few days and I'm wondering if the workload is so much""No. I can handle it. Go to bed" I said dismissing him. Instead of leaving like I wanted, Hermes came forward. I groaned in annoyance and leaned back on my chair."What do you really want Hermes?""I'm concerned about you. Everybody is. Is there something that is going on with
Her words rang in the large hall and everywhere went silent. I could feel all the eyes on me, judging...my airways close up and I struggled to breathe. I couldn't be here anymore. I stood up from my seat and rushed out of the hall. I ignored my name being called and ran faster, my heart beating as I tried to get away. Tears welled in my eyes, blurring my vision as I made an escape. Strong hands grabbed my upper arm and pulled me to a stop. From his scent, I knew it was Tyron. I tried to get out of his hold but he tightened his grip. "Look at me Nevaeh" he commanded but I couldn't. "Look at me Nevaeh...please" his voice was softer this time, pleading instead of commanding. I raised my head and met his eyes, tears still blurring my vision. "What did Eunice mean by what she said" My head dropped again. There was no emotion in his eyes. They were simply just blank and I had no idea what he was thinking. He wasn't supposed to find out at least. He wasn't supposed to find out at all. I w
I jumped out of bed immediately, confused. How was he gone? Who took him? I flicked the switch on the wall. There was no sign of him anywhere. I already started thinking the worst about what could have happened to my baby who was in bed with me. I opened the connecting door and came to a halt once I took in the sight at the center of Tyron's bedroom. He was seated in a rocking chair with Alaric in his arms. Relief flooded me but then I had questions. Why did he take him away from the bed? Did something happen while I was asleep? Why didn't anyone wake me up? I walked closer and Tyron's eyes flashed open. "Nevaeh?" He looked surprised to see me. "When did you wake up?" "A few minutes ago. I didn't see Alaric and I was frightened. What happened? Why did you take him out of the room?" "He was crying and I didn't want you to wake up so I brought him here""W-what..." I mumbled in shock. "He was crying?" If he was crying then..."He woke up?" I asked with teary eyes and Tyron nodded.
The rusty smell of the dungeon churned my stomach. The single guard at the entrance granted us entry after the other guards whispered something into his ear that I couldn't quite catch. "I'm looking for the newest prisoner," I said to him while trying so hard not to throw up. The stench from the dungeon was just too much. The guards exchanged looks at my request but nodded anyway. He led me further into the dungeon and the smell only got worse. We stopped at a locked door and the guard pulled it open. There was a little room between the door and the cells. Cautiously, I drew closer and took in the sight of a disheveled Colton. He had knives sticking into various parts of his body. There was a strong smell of blood and other fluids I was too disgusted to mention. His head lifted slowly and our eyes met. "W-what are you doing here?" He drawled in a disoriented voice. "I wanted to see you" I looked behind me and those guards were gone. "What for...to tell me how horrible I am?" He sc
I remained by Juanita's side, holding her hands. Another fit of cough started and more blood spilled from her mouth. I looked away, blinking the tears in my eyes. I couldn't look at her in this condition without feeling like my heart was going to tear into a million pieces. Knowing what the end of held made it even worse. "I-I'm fine. You don't need to cry for me" "I'm not crying" I sniffled. I wish there was something I could do so we didn't lose her like this. "Although it was for a short while...I'm happy to have known you" Her voice was weaker now, and she coughed loudly. "You're such a long person...that is what attracted me to you the first time. So different from Amaris...it made me wonder how you were friends""Save your energy," I said to her. I feared if she kept on talking, the cough would return. The force of it worsened each time and I feared it would soon be the last. "No. I don't have much time left""Stop saying that" I didn't want to be reminded. We shouldn't eve
