“LORD Valencia and Lady Morelli seems to be getting along well,” Emmet commented while I was studying reports about the recent activities of the Hunters.“They need to get along. They will be together most of the time,” I replied without looking at him.Today was Kate’s first day as my secretary. Today was also the day Jonathan Valencia went back to his post. This morning, I introduced the two of them to each other and gave Jonathan his first mission: to ensure Kate’s safety. He had officially become her personal knight today.After some time, I heard Emmet gasp. “For some reason, Lady Morelli’s smile reminds me of the former Queen. She also has this smile that could melt hearts.”“And how would you know that? Kate does not smile at others so easily.”“But she is smiling right now, your majesty.”“What are you talking about?” I looked up and found Emmet staring at the window.I rose from my seat to take a look as well and got the surprise of my life seeing Kate… smiling at the back ga
BEFORE I even knew it, I was already following Zachary’s gentle demands. His hands had already found their way inside my blouse. In an instant, he was able to unhook my bra. He tossed it on the sofa. He lifted me and brought me to his wide mahogany table.Zachary wiped the papers on it with one hand before he made me sit there. And when he let go of me for a second to sit on his swivel chair, I had the chance to escape.But my body was at Zachary’s mercy. One look at me and I couldn’t get away. It was like he had me imprisoned by just those eyes alone. He finally took the drinks and the snacks away from me before he pulled his chair closer to the table, closer to me.He kneaded my breasts with his expert hands.“They claimed you are a wild cat, but when I do this…” Zachary rolled his tongue over the tip of my breast. And when I moaned, his expression softened a little. “You become a defenseless rabbit in front of a starving wolf.”His ravenous tongue assaulted the tip, leaving me gasp
“WHAT kind of book are you looking for?” Jonathan asked as he stood a few steps away from me inside the king’s library. “Maybe I could help you find it.” Zachary left the castle after our conversation. He had a private meeting with a woman named ‘Astelle’ at lunch time and since he didn’t know what time he would be back, he told me to take the rest of the day off. I didn’t know who that woman was, her name was just written on Zachary’s planner which Emmet handed to me this morning. Worse, he didn’t bring any guards when he left the castle which meant that he would be meeting with him… alone. When I first became his secretary, he would bring me wherever he goes whether I liked it or not. Even during his meetings with the Council where humans were forbidden, he was crazy enough to let me in and to have me occupy the seat closest to him. That seemed to have changed now. I am inside the very place I had always wanted to visit alone. In the past, I only got to en
EVERYONE who saw Zachary’s car in the streets stopped whatever they were doing and kneeled on the ground. The cars all gave way as well to make their king’s trip as smooth as possible.No matter how tinted the windows were, these Vampires could still see us from the inside. They knew who their king was with. But as always, Zachary didn’t care as he drove with one hand. It even seemed as if he was parading me for every Vampire to see.He looked like he was in a better mood having me as his passenger while I was in the middle of having a nervous breakdown having him drive because everyone was looking at me with contempt in their eyes. I thought I wouldn’t care, but tonight, it was especially hard for me to ignore their stares.“You should have at least given me a heads-up about tonight, Zachary. This is embarrassing,” I said after sometime.I didn’t know I would feel bothered like this. Damon told me that Zachary had never taken a woman out before. This was His Majesty’s first date… and
MY HEART… was suddenly so full that I was afraid it would burst. I’ve tried to deny it so many times, but at night, when the king was sleeping with me in his arms, I would lie awake and just stare at his handsome face, feeling guilty for this warmth and this tingle in my chest that I feel because of him.I sniffed and closed my eyes when I couldn’t bear to keep staring at Zachary. I was afraid that he might see right through me and feel that it was the same for me. I was barely alive all these times until I saw him in the forest.It was so cold in his city, but he kept me warm with his smiles, his laughter, and with his presence that was so huge it occupied the entire office.Even then, the king would always find excuses to hold my hand. And I’d let him because I wanted the feeling of his large calloused hand against mine. Even then, I’d wondered what this fuzzy feeling was, why I’d let him touch me when I’d flinch if it was other men.I knew it wasn’t just about work, wasn’t just abo
(Zachary)“I DIDN’T want to fall for you,” Kate bit out, frustration was evident in her eyes. Before I could ask, she added, “Because you are blind. I really hate that about you. You only see the pretty things about me. I’m a nervous wreck, Zachary. I’m damaged. I have tons of things I haven’t told you yet about myself and I’m afraid that once you find out about them, you’d leave me.”“And what are those things? You could try telling them now and see if I leave. But you have my word, swan, I will stay. Whatever it is. No matter what I hear.”Instead of answering my question, Kate’s tears just fell. She was changing. She was more open about her emotions in front of me now. She no longer hides her frustration, her fears, her anger, and her… love for me. And tonight, as she says those things, I could see her completely stripping off her mask.“I’m a coward, too.” I heard the bitterness in Kate’s voice when she added, “See? Even if I love you, I couldn’t even tell you anything now.”“I co
(Damon)AS SOON as I stepped inside Doctor Juno’s office, his male nurse quickly locked the door from outside and the doctor began attacking me with the syringes. They all came flying into my direction. After dodging the last one, I lunged at him and grabbed him by the collar.I gritted my teeth. My motto had always been ‘make love, not war,’ but that only ever applies to women. I had no patience with the opposite sex, especially tonight. Hell hath no fury like a starving man who didn’t get to finish his meal.I didn’t even get to cum because this psycho doctor bombarded my phone with calls and messages when I refused to communicate with him through my mind. That was my first break in a while and Juno stole that from me.Juno even had his entire medical staff sneaked inside the hotel I was in and when I didn’t respond after they knocked on my suite, his staff broke the door while the woman I was with ran and left me wit
(Kate) AS SOON as we reached the penthouse, Zachary cupped my nape and slanted my head for a kiss. The heat from his body seared through my skin. He pressed his erection against my stomach which made my core clenched and my breasts quivered. He released me for a moment only to gently push me on the bed. But before he could unbutton his suit, we heard the sound of the alarm echoed throughout the city. The rain had stopped a while ago that’s why we could hear the sound clearly now. I saw Zachary’s body tense. I got up. He turned to me and before he could say something, we already heard the second alarm. The first alarm meant that there were enemies at the border. The second alarm indicated that the enemies had breached through the borders and were now about to reach the castle. I’m sure they are not the Hunters. They cannot afford to attack the city in their current state. But whoever they are, they are moving in an extremely quick manner. “I will go check what’s happening. Stay her
