[Mykel’s POV]"What do you mean they died?" Amya asked, seeming to not quite believe me. "Wouldn’t this place be part of the guild’s territory?""Not quite," I admitted. "You see, long ago, before the guild was built, this was sacred ground where the council of elders resided.""Council?" she repeated, her lips pressing into a thin line. "This belonged to those bastards?"Oh, did she have an issue with the elders? That was interesting. I guess if that was the case, she was really going to enjoy the next part of my story."That’s right." I confirmed. "At least it did until I found them."As I spoke, memories of that day began to emerge. Before Boar’s Head was built, I worked for the mercenaries, and one of my first missions was to rid the world of the elders, since in most people’s eyes they were more of a nuisance than a blessing.At the time I was only thirteen and just managed to prove my worth, but that was all almost ruined when those assholes sent me on such a dangerous mission.
[Amya’s POV]Later, I sat with Pam and watched as a shirtless Mykel hauled a cart that was loaded with debris. His tan skin glistened in the setting sun, and I found myself wanting to jump him right here and now."Will they have to clean everything up today?" I asked Pam, trying to distract myself from my quickly dwindling thoughts."Probably."Frowning, I couldn’t stop the disappointment that was rushing through me. After getting a taste of him the night before, I felt antsy. Mykel’s body was definitely a drug, and I was fiending for more of it."Maybe we should go inside," Pam suddenly announced."Huh, why?"Instead of responding, Pam gave me an all-knowing look that made my cheeks flush a deep shade of red. Oops."Come along, horny girl."Nodding, I let Pam grab my hand and tug me to my feet. Giving Mykel one more glance, I let myself be led away.When we entered Boar’s Head, a divine smell hit my nose, causing my stomach to suddenly rumble. Realizing that I hadn’t eaten all day, I
[Mykel’s POV]"Don’t worry," Amya giggled, letting her claws graze across Arabella’s cheek again. "I’ll be sure to give you the perfect face.""Are you crazy?" Arabella shrieked.Remaining silent, I watched as the two women wrestled on the floor. It was pretty clear that Arabella wasn’t a match for Amya, but she sure as hell was trying her hardest to meet her strength for strength."Mykel!" Arabella yelled, turning her dark gaze toward me. "Are you just going to let your bitch do this?"Instead of responding, I just smirked as Amya landed another blow on Arabella."I think you probably shouldn’t have used that word." I chuckled. "And my woman can do whatever she wants. Maybe after this you’ll finally leave me the hell alone.""Thanks, baby." Amya purred.Nodding, I continued to watch as Amya tore into Arabella, leaving her covered in criss-cross scratches that covered her face and exposed chest.This continued on until Lucian and Linton made their way towards us, with Denny following
[Amya’s POV]I stared up into Mykel’s dark eyes as I slowly began to wrap my lips around his tip. A groan of excitement escaped him, but I continued to move slowly. Despite wanting to make him feel good, I also wanted to torment him like all the times he tormented me. But I was still new to all of this since the only thing Greyson and I ever did was have sex."Is that all you’re going to do?" He husked.‘Maybe.’ I responded through mindlink since my mouth was a bit occupied.Reaching down, Mykel wrapped his hands in my hair before taking control. However, before he could really get going, I tightened my teeth around him, stopping him entirely.Pulling backwards, I released his dick and stood so I could stare into his deep pools. The desire I found there nearly took my breath away, but I held strong, ignoring the sudden urge to jump him."Didn’t I say I was going to be the one taking control?" I asked.An amused smirk slowly began to spread across Mykel’s face as his arms found their w
[Mykel’s POV]Shock rolled through me as Amya buried her face against my chest. Was this woman actually attempting to comfort me after what we discussed? I had to admit that it was different, but I really didn’t mind."Are you feeling sorry for me?" I asked, resting my cheek on her hair."And if I am?"Smirking, I pulled away just enough to look into her eyes. Within their depths, I could see every emotion that she was currently feeling. "Don’t worry too much." I assured. "No amount of hassling or threatening will allow Arabella to get her way. Especially since I’ve found you.""So if I wasn’t here, you might give in?" Amya challenged frowning. "Mykel, being forced into anything isn’t right, and you shouldn’t make light of it."Flinching, I realized too late that before we met, she had been forced into an arranged marriage with a monster."I’m sorry, baby." I murmured, "I didn’t mean it like that.""Better not."I let out a sigh and nodded."Now, we really should get to gramps’ offic
[Armal’s POV]I lay on the grass with Mia pulled close against me. After finishing with my punishment, I showered and found my way here. This would probably be the last moment of peace we would have until after we retrieved her body, and that knowledge alone made me wish that time would just stop."This is why I didn’t want to tell you." Mia sighed, catching on to my quickly dwindling thoughts. "We’re fine just like this."Fine like this? There was no way she was believing what was coming out of her mouth. Hell, I didn’t even believe it.How we were now wasn’t enough. Sure, it was fine for now, but I wanted to be with her forever, and in order to achieve that, she would have to be separated from Amya."Armal," Mia sighed, grabbing my cheeks and forcing me to look at her. "You know I would never want you to do something that would cause you trouble, right?""It isn’t any trouble." I insisted. "Even if it meant defying heaven and hell, I would do whatever it took to have you with me at
[Armal’s POV]I felt my eyes grow wide as a wave of power slammed into me, sending me spiraling out of the oasis and back into the real world.Jumping up, I looked around my room while fear rolled through me. Mia was alone, and despite my attempts, I couldn’t get back to where she was.Cursing, I quickly teleported into Mykel’s room to find him and Amya making out."Sorry to interrupt." I growled, rushing forward. "But we need to go now!""Go where?" Mykel demanded, untangling himself from Amya. "And don’t you know how to fucking knock?""No time."Grabbing Mykel’s arm, I gave a tug and began to pull him across the room. "We need to go NOW!""What’s wrong?" Turning, I met Amya’s confused gaze. Wait, she could be of help."Mia’s in trouble." I explained, causing her large red eyes to widen. "There are beasts in the oasis.""What?" She hissed, jumping up and rushing forward. "Why didn’t you say that first?"Because my only concern was setting off to find Mia’s body. It was a good two-d
[Amya’s POV]I let out a sigh before collapsing in my seat. I had to admit that using my powers to bring both Armal and Mykel to the oasis had really taken it out of me."Are you okay?" Pam asked, eyeing me with worry. "You don’t look so good.""I’m okay." I responded, forcing a smile."You won’t be once I’m done with you." Mykel warned, snapping his eyes open. "Why the hell did you do that?""Welcome back." I said, trying to feign innocence. "I don’t quite know what you mean.""Don’t play coy.""Could we not do this now?" I sighed, closing my eyes.By this point, I could feel a massive headache coming on. Maybe I really did overexert myself this time. Or maybe Mia’s fighting in the oasis was draining my energy as well. I couldn’t be sure, especially since we never ran into an issue like this before."Are you okay?" Mykel asked, repeating Pam’s question from earlier."I don’t know." I admitted, "Maybe after a little sleep."As I spoke, the pain in my head continued to intensify. Shit,
