ROME

"Your Majesty."

"Monica."

The old king's mistress straightened up with a fake smile plastered on her lips. Although it was quite early in the morning, she was all dressed up in her usual regalia. Her hair was let down and her blood-red dress swept the ground not to forget the tiara she always wore. Her lips were also blood red.

"To what do I owe this visit?" He was quite impatient with Monica, after a somewhat chaotic night with Elora he needed something to eat. His stomach churned with hunger. He had been on his way to the royal dining hall when she stopped him.

"You summoned Kate, sir." She bowed again.

"And you're not Kate." He raised an eyebrow and continued walking. His strides were long so Monica could barely catch up with him. The King suspected she had something up her sleeve.

"She is unwell, Your Majesty."

"Unwell? I summoned her yesterday, she could have sent someone to tell me that but she went ahead and flouted my order."

"We're sorry Your Majesty. She tried to... Bu

    ELORA"Ow." I winced as someone tugged on my hair. I had been sitting in a chair for hours, my behind and back ached."As they say, beauty is pain," Lucy said. After Skye left, she had come tumbling into my room excited. I wondered what was so exciting about being stuck in a seat for hours. My head burned too."My back aches," I whined as the hair stylist pulled my hair even more. "You've only been here for a few minutes." She replied, amused. She was seated on my bed, admiring the dress I was to wear. "In a few hours, this should be over. Trust me, you'd look stunning. I can't wait!" She clapped and squealed.I couldn't relate to her excitement so I gave a small smile. "Hours? That's a long time. Isn't this a dinner?""Not just a dinner, Elora. It’s a dinner with the king and his family. Your first time meeting his family as his mistress. It's a big deal." She said slowly then stood up and twirling dreamily.My hands were clammy. "When you put it like that...""Oh, Elora. It's goin

  • The Lycan King's Mistress   Worst Dinner Experience

    Nobody said a word as I was led to my seat. The servant pulled out a chair and I found myself at the king's right, beside Kate. The king's strong mesmerizing woodsy smell hit my nose and I was reminded of last night in full force.I was too nervous to look up at him but the aura he exuded made his presence too hard to ignore. The memories of how his mouth had tasted the night before evaded my mind, causing my cheeks to heat up.I turned to Kate, trying to distract my mind. The smell of vanilla on her was near suffocating, with something even sharper that I had to hold back a strong sneeze. Her hair was let down, like her mother's and her dress was the same shade as her ginger hair. The arms were off her shoulder revealing a surprisingly enticing skin. Kate and her mother weren't ugly, no matter how much anyone wished them to be. On the contrary, they were breath taking but their beast-like character portrayed the opposite.On the opposite side of the table was Skye, who was seated by

    ELORAMy heart sank. I didn't know why but I suspected it had to do with the fact that the king had more important duties to attend to than me. I was confused. What did his visit to my room mean? However, he was the king of Bale so I didn't expect less."What duties are so much more important than pleasing a beautiful woman like this, Rome? Hm? What duties?" His nasally voice said, eyes darting between me and his son.I wished he could stop drawing attention to me.The king turned back, eyes on her even while he responded to his family."I'm not like you, father. Can we eat peacefully and go back to our businesses?"The room felt even hotter."What other business is more important than spending time with family?" I could hear the smugness in his voice.Skye scoffed. Loud. All eyes went to her."Family, indeed."Her father gave a deadly glare and then turned to me. His eyes softened."Now, Elora. If you have any difficulties, you know where to find my chambers, right?"I didn't know ho

    ELORAI fiddled with my gloves, waiting for another one of the royal family to stand up abruptly but after the king left, they loosened up. The room was filled with Kain Kurt's boisterous laughter and Monica's giggles. Her sons decided to put up a show for everyone. The two men climbed onto the dining table skipping like little girls, spraying food on around in the process.I shifted back in my seat and locked eyes with Skye. She noticed that I was uncomfortable so she gave a tight nod. She stood up and I followed."Have a wonderful night, sir." I bow to the old king.Before he replied, Kain cut him short. "May I escort you to your chambers, my dear?" His eyes danced. He reminded me of a monster. My palms turned sweaty and my heart beat faster. I bowed my head to avoid his face."That's won't be necessary, Lord Kain." Skye said, coming to my rescue. She stopped, waiting for me to leave the room.I bowed and walked out surprised I hadn’t straight up bolted from the room.Immediately th

    ROMEThe king couldn't take the discomfort the royal family dinner offered any longer. He made his way out of the room straight to his favourite place in the Castle. The Red River. It was the most private place, apart from his chambers, and it held dear and fond memories of his mother. He could visit there and converse with her, informing her of what was happening. He was sure he was going to be engulfed in her peace.As he approached the river, he kicked pebbles around like a youngling. He had played the pebble game with his mother when she was healthy enough to. He threw one into the still river and watched as the ripples expanded. He threw another and another, hypnotized by them. The king was jealous of the river. He wished he was as peaceful and still as it was.He closed his eyes. "I miss you, mother."He walked deeper into the woods, farther from the river. The royal woods held diverse trees and plants. Many of them were used by the royal physician to concoct his antidotes. The

    ELORA"Goodnight, sir," I said to the royal physician who insisted on walking me into the main palace grounds. He was almost like a big brother guiding his little sister. "Goodnight, ma'am. Do not forget your checkup tomorrow." He bowed and walked in the opposite direction.This night had been emotionally draining and I yearned to sleep in my bed but frankly, I knew sleep would be hard for me to come by. The palace staff had all retired for the night so it was only the guards on night duties milling about. That was alright because I didn't want attention. It seemed everyone in the palace knew about the family dinner and I didn't want to constantly lie through my teeth that the dinner went splendid. "Elora!"I whipped my head in the direction of the voice to see Lucy running towards me. She was sporting her nightdress and a large shawl. "Oh, my I waited ages for you." She gripped her knees to catch her breath. When it was steady, she stood up. "Where have you been? Dinner was over

  • The Lycan King's Mistress   In His Arms

    ELORAI froze, my heart threatening to burst when the king got up from his bed and walked in my direction, a sudden night breeze bringing the strong smell of alcohol to me.He’d been drinking? Oh no. I couldn’t have come at a worst time.His eyes had apparently glazed over with sleep because even when he reached me, he kept calling me Erika.He bent down, scooping me up before I even noticed him move and carried me bridal style onto his bed. It all happened in quick succession that I didn't know when I landed in his bed. He lay down and covered us with his large blanket.How did I go from tossing on my bed to laying in the king's bed in a few minutes? "Why do you smell so much like her...?" He mumbled. He flung his hand across my small body and pulled me closer to him, wrapping his large arms around me as he tucked my back to his front, spooning me. My heart thumped faster as I imagined how angry he would be when he woke up and realized I was the one in his bed. His breath fanne

    ELORAIt was a relief that apart from their homesickness and worry, my siblings were safe. Olivia was her bubbly self and the twins enjoyed their time spent with Kano. I didn't know how long the situation would be peaceful so I was determined to let them enjoy the moment. The royal infirmary was a short walk from my room. It was a large, imposing stonewalled building with pretty flowers around it. I heard it was the very place many of the Bale antidotes originated from. There was a buzz of royal staff wearing the usual grey uniform but now a silver ribbon indicating they were the infirmary staff.As I approached them, they bowed."Your Highness." They greeted."Good day to you." I smiled waving.The lobby area of the infirmary was a large space with cushioned seats and a small furnace that wasn’t in use. A large mahogany table sat to one side and a petite lady was sat behind it."Your Highness." She stood up, bowing when she saw me."Good day, I have a meeting with the royal physicia

This is our wedding night.” Nauru complained, staring at his bride who was swinging a sharp blade in just her underclothes and corset, painting an erotic image that his body appreciated most ardently.The woman’s eyes flashed angrily at him but she sent him a smirk and flipped her hair behind her shoulders.”Are you scared I’m going to beat you?” She asked in a sing-song voice.“Oh I know you’re going to beat me.” He told her. “You’re a Lycan.”“You should have thought about that before challenging me.” He didn’t exactly challenge her but he didn’t want to point that out to his stubborn wife.A lesser man would be intimidated by her strength but he was only turned on by the thought that she could snap a man in two without breaking a sweat. It had been love at first sight for him when she’d come marching into his court with her brother, the King.

    ROME & ELORATHREE YEARS LATER“Damian you come back here this instant!” Rome laughed as he watched a heavily pregnant Elora chase their two year old son who’d taken to running bottomless around the palace much to his mother’s dismay and his father’s immense amusement.Her glare turned on him and he raised his hands in surrender.“I did warn you that I was very uninhibited as a child.” He told his wife catching up to her and placing his hands around her waist, pulling her as close to him as her belly would allow.A soft thump from her belly told him that the twins they were expecting in a month were more than eager to be free of their confinement. He laughed as Elora slapped his shoulder.“You see what you’ve done to me?” She complained. “I’m surrounded and invaded by savages.”He laughed, kissing her forehead, then began a slow journey to her lips. She sighed and wrapped her hands around his neck, burying her fingers in the hair at his nape. Even after two years the passion between th

    ELORAI stared at the large double doors leading to the training room, frowning down at the floor. The king had written me a letter that while it indeed gave me insight to his true feelings about me still made me feel afraid to see him again.How could I get over the fact that he had only slept with me because he wanted to rid himself of me?How could I move on from the thought that I had trusted him to be different from all the males that had only wanted to use my body and degrade me but at the end of the day, he was exactly like them?I turned, backing the door.Why had I even come?My body warmed as I remembered how passionate the kings declaration of love for me was but he hadn’t even said the words I so wished to hear.I find that I’m absolutely enthralled by the feelings you have managed to evoke in my wounded heart. I am sure that I want to spend the rest of my life wrapped in the beauty that is you. Even now, the words touched me softly.He had talked about things I hadn’t no

    ELORAI stared shamelessly at the king as we sat in the aftermath of the laugh we shared while talking simultaneously. He still wore his travel clothes like he hadn’t had time to change since we arrived at the castle this afternoon. Dark circles were under his eyes and his hair were rough as if he’d been running his hands through them.He looked ethereally handsome now but ruggedly so, unlike the usual clean shaven well dressed king he usually was. His dark hair curled and fell over his forehead in an unruly mess that had me itching to run my hands through it recalling how soft his hair was. I pressed my thighs closer together as my body responded to the memory of the scenario that had had me running my hands through his hair.I felt a hot blush climb upwards from my neck. I truly hoped he didn’t notice.“Has Noel been to see you yet?” He asked suddenly breaking my train of indecent thoughts.I nodded, unable to speak for fear I’d say something to embarrass myself.“How…How are you?”

As of their party was one to be ignored.Citizen’s stared open mouthed in shock as the large army rode through, some of them with scars and others, albeit healthy, with menacing expressions brought about by fatigue. Long had the thrill of their victory faded leaving behind exhaustion and muscle soreness.Rome was not immune to this phenomenon and wore his scowl even bolder than most because he’d not been given time with Elora at all during their trip.Skye worried he might scare her off with his intensity since his emotions were still high and besides the girl needed rest after the ordeal she’d been through.The doctor he’d ordered to look over her reported she was in excellent health and that the baby was doing fine but until he got to the castle and got Noel’s report, he didn’t think he could relax.Looking up at the grim castle walls, he couldn’t help but think that so much woul

I couldn't feel my body.I was floating in a seemingly endless pool of black."You promised me they wouldn't hurt her!" A voice yelled at the edge of my consciousness.A small ray of light started at the edge of my vision becoming brighter and shocking me out of that empty plane."You promised me father!" The voice came again but this time I could recognize it.The bed beneath me felt harder than anything I'd ever felt but perhaps it was because I'd been floating for God knows how long.I tried to lift my hand but couldn't, they felt too heavy.I wanted to open my eyes but pain had me shutting my eyes again."Nggh."

    ROMEThe ride to Alkarod flew by faster than anyone would have expected but Rome was grateful for the brevity of the journey as he didn't think he could bear to spend any more time away from Elora. It had been only a day and half since her capture but it felt like it had been ages.His beast had gone through a range of emotions and had settled on sadness now, whining constantly inside of him and setting him on edge. He had snapped more than once at the captain of his Elite but the Lycan, already used to his antics, showed no grief or frustration.Shouts went up at the Darwin pack gate tower as his riding party approached. He knew that the dust they kicked up must have made them look like bandits plus their lack of armour and his angry look wouldn't help matters."Stop!" A guard yelled just as they rode through the gates. "Who..."He didn't give the man the benefit of an answer as he plowed past him, nearly running him over with the horse.
