“You can talk later Alyssa. If you won’t have food, I will force feed you!” he grated. There was a dangerous scowl on his face.
She knew that he meant what he said. With a sigh, without arguing she picked up the plate and murmured “Thanks.”
Seeing that she was eating, Tova fell back on the pillow. He watched her eat, his beast becoming satisfied by feeding his mate.
Once she had finished her food in silence, Tova left the room only because his mother had called him through a mental link. Otherwise, he had planned on staying with Alyssa till he could. He didn’t want to go back to the girls.
Alyssa exhaled heavily once he left. The air became so heavy with him that she needed to breathe, needed to get out of here.
Dear Readers, Do give your reviews and comments. If the book will receive 3 more reviews from 3 different readers, I will release two chapters together.
Jade added fuel to the fire. “That is also true, Tova, but then each to their own. We can’t say much.” Tova shook his head in frustration. He looked at Fenris and barked his order, “What are you standing here for? Go and get food for Alyssa. She is in no condition to go down!” “Yes, my lord!” said Fenris and started to leave when Jade called him from behind. She said, “Fenris, please ask the cook to make steamed broth for her. I don’t think we should give her solid food at the moment.” Fenris nodded. The woman was very forthcoming and very helpful. “I will do just that, m’lady,” he replied and walked out of the room. “I am going downstairs to talk to the maid and my mother,” said Tova. “I will be
Jade blinked her eyes rapidly as she took in his comment with a shock. “But Tova, she needs rest. Besides you haven’t had your dinner,” she said with concern and shock in her eyes. “Ever since Alyssa fell down to the time she has eaten her broth, you haven’t rested. I have to say that you are a fantastic host. Now you should also take care of your health.” She walked up to him and put her hands on his arm. “You must come out with me and have your dinner. In my opinion Alyssa needs to sleep.” She tugged at his arm as she tried to take it near her bosom. Tova removed his arm from her grip. “Thanks for your concern, Jade. You have been really nice with Alyssa, but there is something I would like to discuss with Alyssa,” he replied sternly. “You may join the rest of the girls in the main hall for dinner. I will come later. Though I do suggest that you go finish your dinner and go back to your room. It i
Fenris mounted behind her and said, “I am so sorry for this mess Alyssa.” She chuckled, “It’s not your fault Fenris. You are only helping me out in this situation. The decisions are mine and not yours.” Fenris didn’t say anything. He knew what she must be feeling leaving the place. Even in the darkness he could see her pale face. She had tied her hair in a braid and the bandages on her head were like a chain to her thoughts. He trotted the horse to the portcullis where the guard lifted it for him and then he raced the horse to the place where he had organized the portal for her. After she had fallen and injured her head, he decided that she was not in a position to create a portal on her own. And Alyssa didn’t tell him that she was feeling the hum of ether, of magic in her ever since she had fal
Upon hearing Alyssa’s truth, Tova’s eyes widened with shock. His mind became numb and the room reeled around him for a second. His stomach became hard and he thought that if he didn’t hold onto something, he would collapse. He hated all witches but the one he hated the most was Magda. He stared at Alyssa as if she had grown two horns. His mate was Magda’s daughter? This was so fucked up. Merely recalling what happened in the past made his breaths shallow. She was the daughter of the woman not only he hated, but his parents and the people of Averine hated. Memories of the past came flooding like hot molten iron on his conscience. Panic grew stronger as his mental faculties gave way to bitter emotions. Feeling like the same eleven year old child, his body shook with terror. The bitterness of his emotions grew to the extent that he felt strangulated by the
Tova was surprised as to how the maid could disappear so fast. His suspicions that she had thrown the oil on the staircase on purpose much earlier and that she had purposely bumped into Alyssa right on the landing, solidified. The maid surely had a plan but he didn’t know what. He became worried as hell that there was definitely someone who was after Alyssa to kill her, because a maid wouldn’t have the audacity to pull this kind of a thing on her own. Tova’s men had instead apprehended Katie’s family and held them prisoners in the servant quarters on the right side of the bailey. Katie’s father, a drunkard, had shouted at his wife for their daughter’s gaffes. The parents had no clue as to where she was. Tova had ordered his men to throw her parents in the dungeon hoping that this would draw her out from the hole she was hiding in.
Penny knew how much Ludwig was trying to save her. She cupped her husband’s cheeks and forced him to look at her. “Let me meet her Ludwig. You and Tova can stay here with me.” When Ludwig frowned and tension crossed his face, she said, “Please…” She was aware of Tova’s importance as Ludwig’s beta. Moreover, she didn't want to be known as an unjust queen. She had to assess things herself. After a long time, Ludwig nodded. “But I have a condition.” “What is it?” asked Tova, feeling better after Penny’s intervention. The girl was wise for her age and that is why he liked her a lot, loved her once, but now he couldn’t even think of anyone else other than Alyssa. Ludwig looked at Tova and said, “I will be announcing your arrival in the kingdom. For that I will be holding a ball in the Alnor Castle. You can
Tova took his other hand to his shaft and started fisting it. As he drew every moan from her, his shaft throbbed harder. Her muscles were clenching around his fingers and he loved it. “You are so tight. I want to be inside you!” he growled. “I need to be in you!” She was chasing her pleasure with crazed intensity. She wanted to close her thighs but they were locked. Alyssa looked down at his fingers that he was thrusting inside and suddenly her mind shattered into a thousand stars. She groaned loud as she was hit by a massive wave of orgasm. Feeling her release around his fingers, Tova threw his head back and bellowed as he ejaculated arc upon arc. By the time they finished, they were panting. She was slumped against his chest and he had held her waist tightly. It was cathartic, it was mind blowing, it was what they needed but were denying.
Tova got up and straddled her body by caging her legs in between his and pressing his erection to her. His kiss deepened and his hands went to her waist he moved them on her sides. The attraction, the madness to claim her and mark her was growing with each passing second. He pulled away, panting and wanton. His eyes were heavy lidded. “Aly,” he murmured her name in reverence. Then he went down and claimed one nipple.Alyssa let out a cry. “Ahh!” Her body hummed with the need that was growing within her. She didn’t know when, but her hands inadvertently slid into his hair, cradling his head on her breasts. She spoke sweet nothings incoherently as he took the whole areola and the skin around it in his mouth and began to lave it and suckle it.Tova moved his hand to her thighs and began sliding it up her leg. Muscles betwe
