“I see. Prince Leonard, you’re an Ultimate Alpha, right?” I asked to make sure that I understood correctly.“The king, and the three princes of this kingdom are all Ultimate Alphas,” he replied matter-of-factly.“What exactly is an Ultimate Alpha?” I inquired.“An Ultimate Alpha is a man who possesses a very strong wolf. Madame Sand probably told you the legend already. Even I have no idea if that legend was even true but what seems to be true is that my kind has been around for a very long time and just like other species that roam this earth, this specie has evolved to survive. To many people’s disappointment, the werewolf didn’t evolve to become more wolf but more human instead,” he explained.“More human?” I repeated curiously.“That’s right. As time went by, werewolves lost both their number and also most of their wolf-like abilities. They were hunted because they were feared by humans and that greatly reduced their numbers. On top of that, nature thought that it would be better
“I guess Madame Sand has not explained that to you either…” the prince said.Well, that was because you came in when she was just about to explain it.“That’s right. She was just about to explain it to me after I had just asked her about it,” I replied while trying not to make it sound like it was the prince’s fault.“Sorry for disturbing your precious little lesson…” he said coldly.“Not at all, Your Highness…” I quickly replied as I waved my hands in front of my chest in denial.The prince sounded extremely sarcastic just now and I began to wonder why he had to be so hard to deal with. Plus, he still hasn’t answered my question. I pressed my lips into a tight smile as I waited patiently for him to provide an answer to my question.“The term honorable maiden is completely inaccurate. So let me explain it to you using another term,” he said.“Ok…” I mumbled as I stared wide-eyed at his face.“To us princes, we call honorable maidens by another term. We call them ‘Satisfiers’,” he said
The prince smiled at me before he leaned even closer to me. Our nose touched softly while my body still felt as frozen as before. I could feel his warm breath on my face, and I could smell the faint smell of roses that emanated from his body. My heart raced so fast and hard in my chest that it started to hurt. Please…don’t come any closer…“If you really don’t want to do this, you need to push me away…” he whispered softly. The warmth breath that accompanied his words brushed softly against my lips. Although he wasn’t touching me, it felt like there were countless invisible hands holding my body down and stopping me from moving. His lips moved closer to mine slowly as if everything was happening in slow motion. He’s going to kiss me. I have to resist him…and I have to do it right now…If he kisses me, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop him…or myself…As if wrestling with an invisible force, I dragged my arms up from my side and pushed as hard as I could against the prince’s chest.
Instead of feeling relief, I winced at the sound of the prince’s voice. I guess I should have gone into hiding if I wanted to avoid him for real instead of just sitting here on a bench in the garden out in the open. Consider it my mistake…Was he…covering for me just now? “Your Highness…” Madame Sand said with clear surprise before she quickly bowed to show her respect. It would have been a disaster for me if she found out the truth that I had run out here to escape the prince. Although I didn’t think that it was my fault, I also knew that Madame wouldn’t think the same way. As far as I was concerned, this was all Prince Leonard’s fault for telling me all those things all of a sudden. It was shocking enough for me to believe that he was a wolf, not to mention everything he told me about Ultimate Alphas and how honorable maidens are supposed to produce them. Then there was that super important detail on the three princes’ battle for the throne where the deciding factor would be whi
Just referring to the intimate acts of love as mating made my body shiver. However, it seemed to be the usual term used to describe sex for the alphas and that was probably because of the wolves inside them. “The king would never make such a mistake. Even if you haven’t mated with the prince yet, the time would come soon, perhaps as soon as tonight,” she said sternly. “I don’t…” I began protesting. “Don’t worry, my dear. I know what you are worried about, and it is absolutely normal. Everyone is scared of the unknown and that is precisely why I am here for you. Every honorable maiden shared the same fear and worries that you are having now before their first time mating with one of the princes. It is completely normal…” she said reassuringly. I wanted to scream at her that she was getting it all wrong. The main issue wasn’t my fear of losing my virginity at all. It may be the case that I was scared and worried about it because I have never gone all the way with a man before; howev
I roughly knew how animals mated and how wolves mated was probably not very different from how dogs do it. “I assume that you are inexperienced but there is nothing for you to worry about. Just trust the prince and leave everything in his capable hands. The prince is extremely experienced,” the madame said with firm nod of her head.“Ok…” I murmured.I was not quite sure how I should be feeling about the fact that Prince Leonard was apparently ‘extremely experienced’. More experience might be better than no experience, I guess?“Also, the use of any form of contraceptives is strictly forbidden. The prince should not possess any contraceptives and I am sure that you don’t have any either. For the goal of producing an ultimate alpha as soon as possible, the king has put a strict ban on contraceptives. Unfortunately, it has been proven again and again that even without the use of contraceptives, it is extremely difficult for a woman to conceive…” she said before she heaved a loud and lo
“Right…” I murmured to show her that I understood. Does that mean that Prince Leonard will be involved with someone else or maybe he’s already involved with someone else? “That is all for today. I’m sure that that is a lot of information for you already. Do you have any questions?” she asked. “No. Thank you,” I replied although I had an endless list of questions. The madame smiled at me before she nodded her head a few times. She approached me and then I felt the slight pressure of her hand on my shoulder.“Good luck, Mila. The future and fate of this kingdom is in your hands,” she said, and I could see tears swimming in the depth of her eyes. I wanted to tell her just how misplaced her trust was but all I could do was smile awkwardly. …**Later that night**I wished and then prayed that the sun would not set, and night would not arrive. Once again, no one bothered to listen or answer my prayers. I watched the sunset from the balcony of my new room. It was honestly a very beauti
Madame Sand’s words bothered me although I should have known that there was no way that the princes would have only one lover. This place that I was sitting in was practically their harem and I had no idea why a place like this still exists in this modern world; however, things worked very differently here from what I was used to. The image of Prince Leonard with another woman flashed through my mind and suddenly there was a sickening feeling deep in my core. I winced as if the thought of it brought pain to my mind as my chest tightened slightly. What am I even thinking?I had no idea how long I was swallowed up in my troublesome thoughts until I heard a firm knock on my door. This time, it had to be Prince Leonard. I jumped out of my seat as my heart began to race wildly in my chest. “Yes?” I called out as I quickly made my way to the door.Although, I thought that I had dreaded seeing him, now that he was standing right in front of my door, it seemed like my feet couldn’t carry m
