He must have heard wrong. There was no way... He shook his head, he definitely cannot allow himself like that but he could not help himself. Why would his nephew do something like that? He knew they were mated. He was the first to know even before he knew. He clenched his fist, his gaze on her hardening. She... her scent wafted into his nostrils and blocking his senses was all he could do to think straight. Why would she do that to him? So many thoughts twirled around his head and he realized he has never thought so much the way he was doing. The only time he has ever thought so hard like this is when the blight first broke out. He tried to steady his breath as she stopped before him, curtsying to the rest of the people.Nyx noticed the look of pity etched on Divine's face and swallowed hard as she wondered what was taking Zenith so much time to speak. She blinked, still waiting. Everyone had their attention on Zenith whose gaze was indecipherable."I heard," He paused and Nyx let out
"I'll be bringing Rieta into the palace," Zenith informed Mathias whose eyes widened in shock at the sudden information."How?" He asked.He did not get why Zenith made so random decision. Sometimes, he wondered what went on in the head of the man. "By the palace gates and into the concubine chambers," Zenith replied in a bored tone."Why do you want to do that? Selda is still in the reconciliation room and the Seven Elders have been submitting petitions that you should free her. And besides, the people will think that the only thing you can do is keep females." He said.Zenith said nothing as he dropped the scroll he was working on. "What the Seven Elders want is different from what I want. She accepted her punishment. I refuse to stand for violence within my Palace." He directed a look at him and Mathias nodded.That was the discussion that led to Rieta being carried all the way from where she lived into the palace. Everyone in the palace was shocked to the core. Some even wondered
Weeks have passed and Nyx could not bring herself to come face to face with Divine. She had been avoiding his chambers like it carried some sort of plague. Even to see Zenith, she made sure she did not have a reason to walk by his chambers and study room. The way he had threaten her kept replaying in her mind and his thick, dangerous voice resounded in her ears. Would he have killed her if it was true that Divine was bedding her? Or would he have killed his nephew? She saw the feral look in his eyes, the one he had tried so hard to hide, and she would not lie, something flickering had spread across her chest. She did not know what it was yet but with time, she would. She bit her buttom lip as she ambled way through the maids’s quarter and crossed into the kitchen. The noises of utensils being used echoed in the entire place and dropped the tray in the place where they would be washed. She let out a deep breath and looked around. She caught sight of the tray that belonged the Royal
"If you are any second late, you will be the one doing what she is supposed to do." He threatened her, making her heart skip. She could only obey him so she rose to her feet and hurried out of the place, fear ripping through her yet she was tempted to disobey him so he could punish her.Was she being delusional right now?She shook her head as she hurried toward the concubine's chamber. She stopped when she noticed the maid standing outside. "Is the King's concubine inside?" She asked slowly, dread filling her stomach at the thought of another woman satisfying her mate. Another session of pain pricking her to go through.She could only secretly feel like this. She should not. He had rejected her secretly and want nothing to do with her. There was absolutely no one she could talk to about it, not the head maid, not even Divine. She was here, all alone and with the Head Maid's warning still ringing in her ears."Yes, you may go in." The maid informed and she walked in, surprised at the b
Selda sat down, staring into the empty dark space. Her eyes held void as her body remained limp at the spot. She had been there for days now and was already used to the deep darkness. There was nothing but hatred and revenge twirling within her orbs. There were no thoughts apart from the ones of deep retribution toward the Zenith’s Land. She was going to ruin in ways no one had ever thought of. She would break down the empire he had so much built with all his efforts. She will make sure he regrets the decision to marry her. She would show why Lionel had chosen her. That reminded her. Was her brother aware that Zenith had her locked in there and he pretended not to know? She knew her brother’s spies were in the palace and she had been trying to figure them out but they had been doing a good job of hiding themselves. It was good for them but worse for her because she needed to meet them for a little chat. Her fist clenched tight as she heard the squeaking of tiny rats. She wanted to cry
Zenith sat in his study room, going through the scrolls. He has been receiving news from the other part of the Lycan lands that the blight was starting to grow even wilder. He had sent Mathias to check it and the report he came back with was devastating so he sent a few of the royal doctors to the place to control it even if they could not heal them. He had been so burdened and yet he did not have anyone to talk to about his burden. He just had to keep it in by himself and tried hard to work it out, not like there were any differences. Nyx pushed open the door and stepped in, the simmering tea in her hands oozed with heat as she walked closer to him. The cold season was creeping in on them and they were slowly preparing for it. The furry coats were going to be brought soon to the palace. Her stiff hands gently dropped the cup before him and his steely eyes darted toward her, watching her bow then take a step back. He waited for a while before he carried the cup and in the blink of
Zenith watched the Healer walk into his study room with keen eyes. What he was doing here? Mathias went to stand beside him, also staring at the Healer like his coming was ominous, which it was.“Your Highness,” The Healer greeted with a slight bow, his eyes glinted with the familiar purple color from behind cloak he used to cover his face. Zenith had always been weary of the man since he saved him from the fire years ago and he knew he had to meet him to take care of Divine also.“You coming here must definitely not to greet me if I was right?” Zenith asked, picking up the scrolls before him and putting them into the rack.The healer smirked. “Definitely not, Your Highness. I came here, bearing great news but before I proceed. Where is that Nephew of yours? It has been so long since I saw the creature that I mended myself.” Zenith’s eyes flickered at the term he used to describe Divine but he said nothing. “He is not allowed in the throne room unless he is being summoned. Please g
Finish what she started. Did she hear wrong or did she need to get her ears checked by the royal doctor?“If you make me repeat myself, you will have yourself to blame, Slave.” He bit out, his gaze clouded with rage and lust as he peered down at her.Nyx did not know what to do as she stared at the bulge between his legs. Thankfully, Cassandra had been unable to pull off his clothes. Just that band around his waist.“Slave, if—”She didn't let him complete his words as she fell to her knees and slid her hands up to his bulge, holding it between her tiny hands. It felt huge and her tongue swiped over her lower lip in savory. He let out a groan at that gesture of hers and he jerked into her touch.She flinched a bit before she recovered and began to work his bulge through the soft material. He pushed into her with even more force and when she noticed he was becoming restless, she quickly loosened the string around his waist and pulled his thick, long bulge out.Precum covered the pink

Rumors was quick to spread in the palace. It's been three days since the she was confronted by Cassandra. There was no place Nyx walked into that they won't stare her down or even speak in hushed voices. This was rumor of scandal. An affair with a royal? That was the height of it. She wondered what would be going on in Zenith’s head or maybe he was yet to hear of it. What would he think of that night? Or maybe he does not remember her. Which one would hurt more?She shook her head as she dropped the tray and headed back for the maids quarter. At this kind of time, she was supposed to head for Divine’s chambers but here she was, avoiding the place. She settled into her space. It had become larger now. All thanks to Soli’s things being taken out and no one wanted to stay there so she filled it up with her things. She sat there for the entire evening, staring into nothingness and listening to the hushed voices of other maids.Her mind went to the night she had spent with Zenith and she ha
