Aurora was still kneeling, when Morena entered Concubine Xena's chamber, she beheld Aurora's back with fresh wounds, and blood was sipping down from her back. Morena looked at Concubine Xena with a killing stare. She wondered if she had any human feelings, she hadn't seen a woman as wicked and harsh as Xena before. Morena had a cold stare, that could have killed Xena if it is enough to kill. “What are you doing here?” Xena bought Morena sense back. Morena sighed deeply, trying to suppress her anger, she knew better than her anger cannot do anything. “Your highness, we need Aurora to come and perform her evening duties, she had delayed some of the other maid's duties,", Morena said as humbly as possible. “Hmmm” Xena hummed “I'm not confident, this thing here has enough strength to perform the duties, moreover, she hasn't finished receiving the punishment I had for her”, Xena said, her eyes holding anger, Morena wondered why she hated Aurora this much. “Your highness, Aurora must

*FIVE DAYS AFTER* “After the marriage ceremony of Alpha Malik to princess Nneka” Alpha Malik and Princess arrived at the palace, Nneka gripped Alpha Malik's waist as he turned the horse around and headed back towards the hacienda (the horse-designated park) The servant workers there rushed to meet with the king as they sighted him, with their heads bowed, the princess hopped down likewise, leaving the horse to the workers to attend to. “Watch the horse and feed him well, he worked hard these two days,” Malik said in his domineering tone to the workers. “Okay, your highness”, they chorused simultaneously. He stepped forward, and Princess Nneka followed behind him, admiring the Palace, it looked huge and beautiful more than her father's Palace. At the entrance of the main building, they were welcomed by all the royals in the palace, there stood Xena with a smiling face, to welcome the Queen of Uruk into the palace, though there is venom inside the smile. As custom demands, every
Morena was lost in thought as she entered her chamber-Thinking about queen Nneka, her sudden interest in Aurora, baffled her. Though no one believed in Aurora's innocence, she believed her, she saw Aurora as a lady that couldn't hurt an ant.She was lost in thought that she didn't know that Aurora hid behind the door, suddenly Aurora jumped out and made a scary sound, it frightened morena and she shouted.“My God, please temper mercy”, Morena said, with her eyes closed waiting for the death that would kill her, she had experienced people being killed in her eyes, and this memory has made her have a fearful nature, it tortures her a lot and couldn't erase it from her memory, even though she had used many herbs just to cure herself.Aurora busted into laughter, seeing how frightening Morena looked.“Don't tell me you are this afraid ma'am, how could you take care of your patients, if you are this afraid?” Aurora said smiling.Instead of Morena too replied, rather she slumped on a seat t
, and refuses upon INSIDE QUEEN NNEKA CHAMBER**Queen Nneka was on the bed tossing and turning from one side to another, waiting for the door to be flung open by the king.At Intervals, she kept checking the time, it was late already, and she expected the king to be in her chamber by now, when she became restless, she called the maid standing in front of her chamber.“Your Highness,” the maid said with her head lowered to the ground as she entered.“Have you sight the lantern of the king?” Nneka asked, hoping the maid has sighted it.“No, your Highness I haven't”, the maid said politely as much as possible.She wanted to avoid provoking the queen. The maid knew the king won't be coming into her chamber since everyone knew the king only touch Concubine Xena.“Okay, there is no problem, you can go back to your duty post,” Nneka said, and the maid exited her chamber after she bowed her head to queen Nneka.Before coming to the palace, Nneka has made some research about Alpha Malik, sh
Xena swallowed hard and continued undressing her clothes.She stared at Malik's cold face, it held no expression, sometimes she wondered why she loved the man who hadn't shown her a smiling face since she had known him.Every so often she wondered if he had any feelings for her, though he didn't touch any of his concubines other than her, it wasn't enough, she wanted something more than that, wanting to know if loves her just like she does.“Come on, Xena. Come on, You can make him horny”, she breathed out, encouraging herself, she can't allow the king to taste the queen, she's not sure if the king has feelings for her, so he can't allow him to taste any woman apart from her.Malik looked away from her, he placed his hand on the tea in front of him, gently carried it and emptied the drink in the cup, dropped the cup beside him, sprang to his feet, and he walked towards Xena.“You said, you want my dick, how about we do a quick one before going to the queen's chamber?” Malik said, his
Malik looked at her face, and he noticed how nervous she has become instantly with his word, he didn't bother, but he sprang up from her. “Get on your knees and give me your back”, he instructed, and she did just that, giving him her back. She felt him taking off his clothes and, finally, came up behind her. “Do you know what this is called?” He asked, whispering as his cold hand held her waist, ready for the penetration. Xena was a little confused, didn't exactly know what he meant. But she shook her head anyway because he hasn't sexed her this way before. “It's called the doggy style” he whispered into her ears and went deep into her from behind. “Ah!!” She cried out, a little uncomfortable at the penetration, the unawareness. Her hands shook a little as they held on to the bed for support. And Malik, gaining his stamina, pulled out of her and went into her again. This time around, she bit her lower lip to prevent her from screaming like the first time. But damn, it hurt a lo
"Ouch" Xena continued moaning painfully as Malik seemed to apply more force on her, though the sex was painful, she manage to enjoy the pleasure with the pain, this is one of the reasons why Alpha Malik preferred fucking her among his concubines, he knew he's a beast during sex making.Her hands were holding the bed sheets tightly, while she shut her eyes and continued moaning out.Oh! The hell, he was hurting her. And for a second, it made her wonder; if this man had any bit of feelings for her, cause he won't torture her with pain during sex if he does.Sweats dropped from his face to hers and, he finally pulled out of her."Oh... God" she moaned painfully as he laid down beside her while she had the chance to close up her legs.It hurt, and she was almost unable to close up her legs due to the pain.Why did he always have to be so rough in bed? Why? Xena wondered but she had managed to accept him the way he was.She felt so hot and sticky and needed a bath. But with her condition,
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
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
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
