A New Dream

“Lady Eodelle!”

It was Lady Marian’s scream I heard as I watched my attacker approach me at blinding speed. I didn’t even have the chance to run because I feel like every inch of me just turned into stone while watching my life flash before my eyes.

Then in a matter of seconds, before my attacker could even reach me with its razor-sharp teeth and deadly claws, one of my Eunuchs shifted in an instant and lunged straight at the werewolf where both of them rolled and were thrown against the cobble-stoned street and both of them fought claw to claw until the guards came and took control of the situation.

I was so shocked at what was happening that I couldn’t move or make a sound. My eyes were wide with terror and I felt my heart throbbing in my throat while I felt all dizzy, trying to process what had just happened.

But the disabled beggar, an old man, spoke with a gentle voice, “You don’t have to worry, your Grace. It must be a Rogue because I don’t think I have seen him roaming in this

    As soon as the carriage arrived at the Headow Stronghold, the Eunuchs immediately assisted me to the corridors back to my room. I could not do anything but give Lady Marian a helpless glance, scared and confused about what was going on. My whole body was still trembling with adrenaline rushing through my veins. Neither Cecil nor Nina are with the Eunuchs dragging me back to my room. Are they pissed that I made a scene in the town plaza? I don't think it was my fault if it was about the Rogue that almost killed one of them. I never expected an attack like that would happen in a place where our purpose was only to help the locals of that small town. But then I know that not all citizens like the new Emperor sitting on the throne. They hate the crown and the influential people living inside the walls of the Headow Stronghold. They always think that the palace people are not working for the people but for themselves. To milk the citizens using the tax Aster already declared to cut in ha

    “Eodelle…”I gazed at his mesmerizing gray eyes and I saw that he also wanted to stay yet, something was stopping him from doing it. I am aware he has a tight schedule for his palace duties and his never-ending meetings with the council from every kingdom under the Empire’s reign. I can even see the exhaustion in his eyes. The faint dark circle was visible when I got closer to him as my eyes explored his still handsome face, his pink lips looking so inviting but I never wanted to distract him from whatever it is that seems important for him to attend.Smiling, I pushed myself a little, not wanting him to get into trouble if he ever canceled one of his schedules because of me, “It’s okay if you can’t stay, your Grace. I just tried my luck.”“I want to stay so bad with you here tonight, Eodelle. But there is something I need to deal with…” he murmured in his hoarse tone, his eyes half-open as if he was bewitched by something that he sees in me and it was indeed flattering to see a power

    Nina immediately composed herself and moved away from me. She did a low curtsy in the presence of the King of Talaphatia who walked inside my room with a huge smile on his face. The Eunuchs came immediately, keeping their eyes on me and the King, making sure that the man would never dare touch me as I am one of the properties of the Emperor. Our environment is not like in the castle of Talaphatia anymore where I can freely talk with him even without an entourage.This made Laurent a little uncomfortable and I can see the awkwardness in his smile while looking at my Eunuchs through the corner of his eyes, “I am happy to see you well and fully recovered from what happened, you Grace. I came here this morning to give you this…” he pulled a small bottle from the pocket of his coat and a small white handkerchief to cover it delicately, “I have provided a strong healing antidote against the venom. I apologize it came so late. It was not easy to find advanced Healers in my Kingdom…”“I appre

    "I am wondering if I can ask for your permission to have lady Eodelle tour me here in Headow Stronghold, your Grace." King Laurent asked, trying to break the awkward tension between Aster and me. Aster, on the other hand, was still staring at me while thinking deeply about what was wrong and what made my mood so bad in this early morning."If the lady would like the idea, then she can," Aster replied, his eyes still on me, the expression on his face, hard and with a touch of confusion while putting down his fork on his plate, "Besides, I will be a little bit busy today dealing with the merchants and I am afraid I cannot accompany you, Laurent.""That is fine with me, your Grace. I know you have been working hard a lot to keep order and peace in this Empire and everyone is satisfied with your work. I have been hearing so much praise from the other leaders and merchants all over the Empire and I want to congratulate you for winning the hearts of the people in such a very short time," La

    “H-How about the great hall? You will see the faces of my ancestors there. I still wonder why Aster hasn’t removed all those old portraits when lady Helena asked him to throw them away. I guess he respects the history of this place more than I expected,” I said to Laurent, my heart pumping fast against my chest because I am never ready to go back to the place where I saw how Aster lied and betrayed me. Deep inside, I wish Laurent would change his mind and just agree with my suggestion. But his brows raised in curiosity as he spoke, “Why? I thought the library is your favorite place here. I know how you love books and I need your suggestions of what kinds of books you prefer me to read.”I stopped, as perturbation etched on my face. I never wanted to tell Laurent what I found out in the library. And being one of the concubines with all my duties and responsibilities in the palace and with the Emperor, it was irrational to say that Aster betrayed my heart because I am just among the fi

    Days passed and Aster seemed evasive. I spent two days helping King Laurent get used to the palace and I am starting to get worried. Was I pushing Aster too hard away from me? Was I being too stubborn and too irrational about my actual standing in his life? Being one of his concubines, I have no right to ask more for his time and attention. He was having so many responsibilities and he had already spent a lot of time with me while we were in Talaphatia. Maybe he was just trying to give more time to others and that is just fair, knowing I have been an apple of his eye since he announced me as one of his concubines."It seems you are thinking too deeply. May I know what bothers you?" King Laurent asked while we were having tea in the garden. I still have no courage to go to the library after what I found out there. And since then, I haven't had the chance to confront Aster about it. I even barely see him inside the palace anymore.I smiled at Laurent but it didn't reach my eyes. It was

    “Alpha Aster…”“Eodelle…”His gray eyes looked warm as the tension in his stare arose, making my body tremble under his spell. I could feel his power dominating my body as the warmth crawled all over me, and the sweet scent of my arousal while watching his sexy face looking at me hungrily.I licked my lips when I felt their dryness and swallowed hard, not wanting to panic while in front of him. Underneath my robe, I am completely naked and I know that Aster is aware of that while glaring at me as if I am some kind of tempting prey and he’s a hot predator needing some soft flesh for tonight’s menu.“I thought… I thought you were busy,” I murmured, my face flushing red and I am glad that the bright, sunsetting sky bathed us with its warm color through the open windows of my room. Our shadows started to appear, long and eerie against the wall as we both listened to each other’s nervous breathing. I had to shake the desire in me to run to him and claim his lips. To crush mine against his

    "Your Grace…""Do it."I swallowed hard, staring at the huge, thick c*ck pulsating before me. Seeing it for the very first time this close to my face, I felt scared, and my mind panicked, not knowing what to do. But I went down to my knees and he started pulling my dark hair away from my plate face, his hand holding it behind my head."Eodelle…"I licked my lips first. I could feel my heart ramming against my chest. I have no exact idea what to do so I tried to lick the head of his c*ck and I tasted sweet and salty as I moaned because it was too big and too long for my mouth to fit. Hearing Aster's aching moan gave me a strange drive to continue what I am doing. I licked and slurped and moved my head, sliding it inside my mouth with my lips tight around it, in and out until I felt Aster’s legs tremble, his hand tight around my hair, pushing my head slightly against him, wanting me to swallow him until I felt his tip on the back of my throat, almost choking me with his massive length.

    “Aster no…”But I couldn’t stop him anymore.As fast as he could, I saw how he killed the palace soldiers one by one inside the Emperor’s Hall and saved Nina. But to his shock, he stopped in front of Lady Marian’s body which was lying on the marble floor, cold and unmoving. He stared at her for a bit with a solemn face like she was some kind of a sister for him and lifted her, and carried her towards me and Nina where she covered her lifeless body with a curtain he took from one of the walls with the insignia of the North Kingdom as one of the allied Kingdoms of the Empire.As soon as he came back to me and our baby, He held me tight once again and looked at the small child in my arms with his gentle eyes despite the agony he must be feeling all over his body. And then he glanced back at Lady Marian's body which made me sob as my heart broke into pieces for losing a great friend.“She is a good person, Eodelle… She helped me through a lot about you and Laurent. She never deserved thi

    "MARIAN!!!"My whole body froze as I watched her kneel in front of the red guard who stabbed her. Her face turned dark before she fell to the ground, her body not moving anymore. My nose was filled with the scent of her blood as it wafted all over the place, giving me shudders all over my body. The hall turned silent as we all watched Lady Marian dead on the floor. I feel like my heart and soul were shattered into millions of pieces and it horrified me more when I could no longer hear my child's cry. He also turned silent as fear crawled all over me. "See what you have done, Eodelle... I told you not to fight me anymore. I may be a liar sometimes but you know what I can do when someone upsets me," Emyr sneered while I stood frozen, still in denial that Marian was already gone just like that.Tears fell from my eyes, "What do you want me to do then, Emyr? What do you want from me?!" I tried to contain the anger inside me as my throat ached while I sobbed. My whole body was trembling

    It is a call of desperation.I glared at Emyr. He knew from the start that he and Helena won't win this war. That is why he is trying to make some bargain to spare his and Helena's life. But there is no way I could let these two escape after what they did to my son...to Aster. I don't exactly know if he will do his side of the bargain though. But I am getting more desperate to see Aster once again and have my baby in my arms. I know I shouldn't trust Emyr with his poisonous words. I shouldn't let myself be deceived by his lies. But my child's life is more important to me."Show them to me first, Emyr! And then I'll decide!" I yelled at him with confidence in my voice. It is me he is pleading to and not the other way around. I should be the one who must ask for demands. "Sure! Just follow me!" He answered with a grin on his face which made me more suspicious. I know I should be more careful but knowing that I am finally going to have my son back takes all the fear in my head and jus

  • Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate   Negotiation

    I immediately went to the officers who were leading a horse for her to use and then thanked them shortly after I put on some new set of clothes and before I hopped on the animal and galloped towards the Imperial City in a route not too familiar for me. I had to take it as per Lady Marian's advice so that no Red soldier wouldn't recognize me on that path where few people take it because it was a little farther than the main road.With gritted teeth, I made the horse run to its full speed. But I have other plans. I know Lady Marian is already waiting for me at the downtown alley where four Talaphatian soldiers are with her. I know she will surely get mad once she finds out I didn't go just as we planned. I have to go alone and never wanted to put my best friend's life in danger just like what I promised King Laurent. She will be safe with her guards.Through the woods, all I think about is Aster and our son. I will go to Headow Stronghold alone and face whatever will be waiting for me t

  • Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate   Battlefield

    This is the day.I feel like my heart is in my throat. My heartbeat pains my ears as the throbbing goes harder, faster, making my hands tremble in fear as we all march towards the wide plain at the border of Northern Kingdom and the Imperial city.King Laurent didn’t allow Lady Marian to march with us. She is waiting for me at one of the darkest downtown alleys for the mission to save Aster, and my child. I can’t wait until this battle march is over. I can’t wait to see Aster again and our son. I pray Helena didn’t do anything to him. I pray he is safe inside the Headow Stronghold and being watched by my ancestors, keeping him safe.The sky is clear and the sun is gentle on my skin as I rode with the three Kings on my side. The North, West and Talaphatian King swore their loyalty to me and the future that I promised to them. The future that we all are seeking is free from greed, violence and self-interest that the Imperial council portrays just to make themselves more powerful and t

  • Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate   The Plan

    The council meeting with the Northern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom was not good. There was tension between the two Kings and I can feel that even Laurent felt a little frustrated about it. King Anthony never liked the arrogance of the King of the West who was Katrina’s father. His grumpy face reminded me of my father and I can’t deny that each time he looks at me with his mouth curved downward and his eyes judging, piercing eyes penetrating through the stoic facade I have been practicing because I never wanted them to think I am scared of them.We are all in a place—a carved cave the northern men use as the council chamber. In the middle is the wide wooden table with the map of the continent carved into it with wooden pieces representing each Kingdom and the Headow Stronghold. King Lauren and Lady Marian never left my side even when we entered the chamber. King Anthony never wanted his little sister to join the war meeting with me but she insisted because she is also part of what

  • Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate   Proof of Power

    I have to make him believe I have the ability to rule the Kingdom just like a true Wycliffe does. I can feel the blood of my ancestors running through me as my inner wolf convinces me that I am not the same Eodelle who used to fear a lot of things. King Laurent and Lady Marian looked at me with their brows angled upward, worried that I might fail to convince the Northern King to join the alliance. King Laurent cannot guarantee that he can beat the Headow Stronghold after the Southern Kingdom already pledged its alliance with Helena and the Western side was still indecisive about it.“Eodelle, you don’t have to. We all know…” Laurent whispered to me as he stood on my left and Lady Marian on my right. They still have no idea that I have finally had my wolf. But to be honest, I am scared I won’t be able to control myself once I unleash and shift into my werewolf form. It will be my very first time and I am aware I will have to endure a hell of pain once the process of physical change ha

    [ASTER’s Point-of-View]Now I understand how terrifying it must be for Eodelle when I threw her into this very dungeon. Dark, cold, stinking… I am a monster for making her suffer the first night we met. What a tragic first meeting we had. I totally hate myself just thinking of it.I promised Eodelle I will bring our child back. But I failed. I underestimated Helena and I was overconfident that I could still have her trust. I never thought that while I was gone, she had lost our child. I should feel bad about it but what she did to Eodelle is beyond forgiveness.I heard someone sniffing not too far from my cell in the middle of my mooring. The voice was familiar to me as I listened to it carefully.“Nina?”The sniffing stopped.“Your Grace? Is that you? Why are you here?” she asked in shock. I don’t know what cell she was in but her voice was clear. She is careful enough not to make it echo inside the dungeon.“Long Story. But can you tell me what happened?”Nina was very detailed when

    For two days I have been trying to stand up on my own feet, wishing the effect of the poison that was given to me by that healer would finally be gone. Despite my anger and my demand not to see her again, the healer still comes into my tent to give me an antidote from the poison for my fast recovery. She had been asking for forgiveness for what she did to me and what happened to me and my baby but I refused to talk to her, letting her guilt eat her inch by inch. Without my baby in my hands, I can’t find any sympathy to give her. My heart is just filled with revenge and a huge desire to have my child and Aster back. To save Nina and make Helena pay for everything she did to me and to the people important to me.I have been suffering from a high fever and with the level of dizziness I feel, I could barely get up from my bed. My body feels like I am inside an oven, slowly being cooked into ashes. I am sweating so badly that the maidservants in the camp had to replace my bedsheet thrice
