The morning unfolded, rural melodies danced through the air: the crowing roosters, the gentle clucking of hens, all harmonizing with the breaking dawn, rousing Alpha's Malik from his slumber.Gently, he opened his eyes to behold Aurora, still immersed in peaceful sleep. Time itself seemed to pause as he gazed upon her, his heart stirring with inexplicable warmth.In the quiet of the moment, he pondered the tranquil essence she brought to his life, marveling at how her presence could lull even the most restless soul into deep repose.Lost in contemplation, Alpha Malik found himself drawn to Aurora's forehead, his lips instinctively seeking connection. With each tender kiss, he expressed a silent devotion, each angle conveying a depth of emotion words could not capture.Last night, Alpha Malik had pushed aside thoughts of Aurora's deception as the masked girl, embracing her and embracing the moment, setting aside their differences.With gentle care, he eased Aurora's head from his shou
In the hall, whispers filled the air, mixing with anxiety. Ministers stood in their places, tension evident. Those backing Jericho couldn't muster their usual confidence; sweat beaded on their foreheads, a visible sign of their nerves.Despite the cool breeze, Jericho's supporters felt the heat of fear. They dreaded what this meeting might bring.The night before, Jericho had convinced a guard to take the blame for killing an assassin. He'd warned his followers not to support the ministers from the accounting and finance departments, suspecting a trap set by his brother, Alpha Malik.Suddenly, Jericho entered the hall, his usual regal manner intact. His face betrayed no guilt or fear, surprising his followers. Though they knew him to be cruel and wicked, they still expected a hint of fear in his eyes."Welcome, your Majesty," his followers bowed, paying homage to him as the royalty he was.Meanwhile, only hearing the greetings from his supporters, Jericho turned to see the faction aga
Aurora's face twisted in a frown, showing her deep unhappiness and puzzlement. She looked at the soldiers with a mix of confusion and surprise. They pulled the rope harshly, tying her hands together and forcefully dragging her toward the intimidating crucifixion stand in the middle of the small town. She wore torn clothes, her hair was messy and untidy, and she walked barefoot. Blood streamed down her body, a result of the severe beating she had endured before facing her imminent execution. She appeared weak, famished, and fragile, struggling to hide her suffering from the people of Uruk. They stared at her with intense hatred etched on their faces. Moreover, she was aware of the profound hatred they harbored towards her, blaming her for their Alpha's demise. She understood that her pleas would not spare her from the impending death sentence since they didn't believe in her innocence. Recognizing this, she concealed her pain behind a composed facade. Furthermore, she had been train
A displeased expression etched itself onto Jericho's face as Evans, Alpha Malik's guard, rode in, causing him to suspend the crucifixion. Evans approached, delivering a scroll and informing Jericho that it was a message from Alpha Malik himself. Jericho accepted the scroll from Evans, his hands trembling slightly with anticipation. Carefully, he unfurled the scroll, his gaze fixated on the words inscribed upon it. His eyes delved into the scroll, devouring each word written until they absorbed every last inked mark. The contents of the scroll held a mysterious and gripping significance, leaving Jericho immersed in what it conveyed. Jericho clenched his teeth tightly as he read the words hastily scribbled by Alpha Malik on the scroll. The Alpha's message suggested that Aurora's death be postponed, with a desire for her to endure additional suffering before her ultimate demise. Although Jericho found pleasure in the idea of Aurora's suffering, he harbored doubts about her brother's in
Aurora knew the owner of the hoarse voice, immediately fear and anxiety ensued over her, she raises in a twinkle, and started fidgeting about how to greet the king. She peeked in the direction without a blink, waiting for the king, she loved to see his face, likewise, she was afraid of what he would do to her. She lowered her gaze immediately after she caught the sight of the king and his right man Jaguar approaching the door of the prison where she was caged, her heart began to race out of fear. The foul smell of the dungeon disgusted Alpha king, he hated coming to the dungeon, but he wanted to see the face of Aurora, every fiber of him hated her and wished her pain. He would rather not give Aurora the impression that he saved her, he wanted her to know what he had in stock for her. The cold gaze of Alpha Malik stared all over her body, as he stood at the entrance of the prison—He saw the bruises on her body and face, it gave him pleasure knowing she’s been tortured. He looked a
“I guess you are told by the guard, my room is restricted except for what you are called for’’ Alpha Malik said in a low growl, making Xena jolt out of her ecstasy. She swallowed hard, thinking of what to say, not to offend the Alpha. “ I’m sorry Alpha, your guard tried to stop me, but what I heard made me turn a blind ear to his instruction” she replied as humbled as possible so that she won’t offend Alpha.“Which is?” The Alpha said furiously, he removed his trousers, remaining his underlings. “I heard you -------” Xena was explaining slowly, but Alpha interrupted her—She knew Alpha more than anyone, any mistake or error in his presence can cost you your head, he had become more dangerous after his father died. “Don’t let me meet you here, by the time I come out of the bathroom” he stated firmly and walked into the bathroom. Xena kept staring at Malik, as he walked into the bathroom, she was lost lusting over his body, she needs him badly. After she saw his exposed chest, she co
Angrily, Xena walked back to her room, she met her friend Jeanne inside the room, eating sauce. She didn’t greet her friends who put on a wide smile seeing her, she went to sit on a chair, with her head jerked down. “Why did you look sad?” her friend Jeanne asked, and she straddled the chair and moved closer to Xena, she placed her hand on her hair and stroked her beautiful hair gently. “Did the king reverse Aurora’s death because he cared for her?” Jeanne asked. Xena’s eyes widened, hearing Aurora’s name from her friend’s mouth, and she raised her head, looking at her friend with a pouting mouth. “What?” Jeanne asked her, looking intently into her eyes. “Could you believe I forgot to ask the Alpha”? “What” Jeanne exclaimed. “Calm down. I entered his room with the thought of asking him, but I was welcomed by his naked broad chest, and it controlled my sense of reasoning, I got lost, lusting after his body, forgetting what I wanted to ask him, instead, I embraced the pleasure hi
With tension, the minister who raised the question found his ankle landing on the ground.“My king, I thought because she is the first Princess, that the position automatically is hers, moreover she deserves the position. She had fought many enemies for your sake, which had made the community to be at peace. She helps us from going to one war and another’’This is the statement that always angered King Louis, ’he made the community to be at peace, not his daughter’ he hated it when he was belittled as a king. Who is Aurora without him?Instead of him berating the man, rather he busted into pretentious laughter, none of the ministers smiled, they all had serious looks on their faces.King Louis stood up from his throne, and walked to the Minister kneeling on the ground, the king lowered his head, raised the minister’s chin, and he smiled at him. The man was fidgeting, fear was written all over his face, and his facial expression was read by King Louis, he withheld his hand from his chin

Shastina tightly clasped Aurora's hand, her eyes fixed on the delicate features of her face. Pain gripped her heart, an unbearable ache that whispered accusations against her own actions, blaming herself for Aurora's tragic end.The relentless thought echoed within her, a haunting refrain:"I could have confessed to the king, revealed that I, not Aurora, was the one who killed the late King."Grief overwhelmed Shastina, erasing the memory of the times when she callously told Aurora that she didn't care if she lived or died. The realization now hit her with a cruel force, a revelation of her true feelings."So you care this much about me," Aurora's voice cut through the heavy silence.Startled, Shastina and Morena leaped to their feet. The sudden realization that it was Morena's voice shattered the tension. Shastina moved closer to Aurora, and a groan escaped from Aurora's lips as Shastina inadvertently bounced on her hand."Why did you play that prank on us?" Shastina exclaimed, her e
Doubt coursed through Xena's mind as she watched the hulking man, hoping against hope for a shred of mercy. But alas, mercy was a stranger in his eyes, replaced instead by a seething anger that simmered beneath his burly exterior.With a thunderous rise, he towered over her, his gaze landing on the unfortunate canvas of clothes stained with vomit. At that moment, his anger exploded into a deafening cacophony that reverberated through the entire room, sending shivers down the spine of all who bore witness.The very walls seemed to tremble in response to his enraged bellow, rousing the other men within the prison from their slumber. As their master's voice boomed, they snapped to attention, their eyes darting around the room. Their collective focus then shifted to the source of their leader's fury, and they locked onto the telltale evidence of Xena's transgression."Kapoor!" They roared in unison, their feet slamming onto the ground in a synchronized display of loyalty. Yet, in that sam
Dread washed over Xena like a cold wave when one of the guards hurriedly went to fetch the King's Concubine, Xena knew that if none of the king's women came, she knew that if Sheba and Nneka would come, and if they got involved, things would take a dark turn.Her anxiety was palpable as they escorted her down to the dungeon. At this moment, she longed for Jeanne's presence more than ever. However, Jeanne had fallen for one of the guards and had left with him. Xena held onto the hope that Jeanne would return, though it seemed like a distant dream.It was too late for anyone to persuade the King to honor the promise he had made to his mother, the vow to protect. Yet, Xena clung to that promise, despite the risk of the King discovering her involvement. Memories of the kindness she had shown to the King's mother weighed heavily on her conscience.As they reached the cell and the guard swung open the door, a putrid stench overwhelmed Xena's senses, causing her to instinctively cover her no
Xena's body trembled with fear as she stood there, as Minster still held the document in his hand. The king's eyes scrutinized the scroll as he turned his gaze toward the minister of accounting. She felt her whole world collapse, trapped in a nightmare."What are you doing here?" The king's voice was icy, jolting her back to reality."I... I..." Xena stammered, feeling utterly helpless as Jaguar approached the minister and gently took the scroll from her shaking hands."Your Highness, the scroll..." Xena's heart sank as she grasped the gravity of her situation. The consequences would be dire if the document contained what they suspected. She wished she could vanish, but the king's words reverberated through the hall, freezing her in place."Jaguar, read the scroll's contents. Evans, send guards to find the criminal hiding in town. And when you locate the assassin, eliminate him immediately. Someone dared to set him free from prison." The king's tone brooked no argument, sending shiver
Aurora's eyes widened in awe as she found herself in an enchanting realm, surrounded by colors dancing in the sky. It was a place of breathtaking beauty that seemed almost otherworldly. As she explored this magical space, she was captivated by the sight of a stunning woman with eyes that sparkled like stars and a handsome man whose warm smile radiated kindness.Curiosity overwhelmed her, and she approached them with wonder in her eyes. "Why is this place so incredibly beautiful? And why do both of you look so lovely?" she asked, her voice filled with awe.The woman's response was soft and soothing, "This place is special, Aurora. It's where beauty and love intertwine."Aurora was taken aback, unsure of where she was or how she had arrived there. "Am I dreaming?" she questioned, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.The man's gentle laughter resonated through the air as he replied, "You're not dreaming, but you're not entirely awake either. This realm exists between realities, where the
Alpha stormed into Morena's chamber, his presence filling the room with an air of authority. His eyes widened in shock as he beheld Aurora, blood trickling from her nose. The sight sent a jolt of panic through his veins, and his voice thundered, overpowering every other sound in the room."What is going on here?!" he demanded, his voice reverberating with urgency and concern.The force of his voice made Morena snap her head in his direction, her eyes filled with worry. Evans, Shastina, and the other maid present in the physician's chamber followed suit, their gazes dropping in deference.Their murmured response of "Your Highness" barely registered as Alpha's attention remained fixed on Aurora's ailing form. He spoke again, the urgency in his voice demanding an immediate answer."I need to know what is happening here," he pressed, his tone filled with a mix of fear and determination.Morena, realizing the weight of the moment, turned to face the king. She spoke softly, her voice betray
As Alpha Malik made his way back inside the palace, a heavy cloud of hurt and betrayal engulfed him, obscuring the warmth and love Aurora had once ignited within his heart. With each step, his pain deepened, casting shadows on the memories of their shared moments.Unknown to him, a sense of urgency tugged at his soul, compelling him to seek out Aurora. He couldn't fathom the reason behind this inexplicable need, but he was certain that when she woke up, she would face the consequences of her deception. And as for Evans, Alpha's blood boiled with disbelief at the thought of his supposed ally supporting Aurora in fooling him. The mere idea was unfathomable, and he vowed that Evans would pay dearly for his betrayal.Yet, amidst his wild thoughts, Alpha brushed away the intrusive doubts, focusing on his path ahead. Determined, he walked with measured steps, the imposing presence of the palace surrounding him like a symphony of grandeur and deceit. As he advanced, his attention was drawn t
