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.
[Helena’s Point-of-View] I couldn’t help but shoot a daggering stare at Eodelle, who was silently eating at her usual place at the table, beside Marian.I always have a bad impression of the two. Of course, Eodelle is the daughter of the sick former Emperor, and Marian with her oddities tolerated by Aster when she moved all her stinky, exotic animals living here in the Headow Stronghold.Many say there is one permanent expression on my face and that’s suspiciousness over people around me. I always follow my instinct. I never trust anyone unless I have something to counter them whenever they think of betraying me. And the last person who drank the sweet poison of my beauty was the former Emperor, that sick, fat man who made my life hell in this place. Seeing Eodelle brings back all the nightmares I endured at the hands of her demonic father and I couldn’t help but despise her. Another reason was her, being a princess. Yes, I wasn’t born into a wealthy family. I had to work to the bon
[Eodelle’s Point-of-View]Beta Emyr looked down at me, puzzled by my sudden presence in the library. The huge, wide, circular hall was empty, and the noise of the birds singing at the incredibly high ceiling echoed at the thick bricked walls, giving an eerie feeling inside with only the Beta sitting at one of the study tables inside. He tipped his head, still waiting for me to explain. I am still not comfortable being in here because of the disgusting memory I had the last time I tried to sneak into this place. I have no idea what my inner wolf wanted to tell me but deep within me, something wants to convince me that it was not Aster who I heard being here with Helena. The last time I confronted Aster about it, he looked as if he didn’t know what I was talking about. Or maybe he was just lying to me? But Aster would never lie. I believe he is not that kind of person.That’s why I decided to investigate. There is something going on in this palace and Helena was hiding a dark secret f
“Aster!”He didn’t say anything but his eyes didn’t even blink as he glared down at me, his eyes looked sharp and angry about something. I got lost for something to say because he was the last person I expected to see in this place. That morning when Helena walked out while we were having breakfast together, he started to act strange. As if something disturbs him. Every time I looked at him, he always had that crease formed between his eyes. He was always deep in his thoughts. “What are you doing here? I thought you were with the council?”His frown deepened, “Is that why you were sneaking here in the garden at this kind of hour?”I sensed furiousness in his tone and it confused me. What does he mean by that?“I am just looking for—”“I know who you are looking for, Eodelle,” Aster sounded annoyed as he cut off my next words. It was obvious he didn’t want to hear Laurent’s name from my lips.I tried to be impatient but I don’t like how he behaves, “I thought you were friends?! Why ar
I am not ready to face Aster yet.My heart started to ram against my chest and I panicked. My hand trembled and I picked my finger with the needle. The blood trickled and stained the silk I was sewing. Marian immediately stood from the mountain of the pillow she was sitting on with an excited look on her face. She gave me a teasing grin and I felt my whole face blush while waiting for her to confirm if it really was Aster. Since our last confrontation, when he asked me to trust him, he didn’t have enough time to spend with me again. Aside from that, Helena was making sure Aster’s schedule was so overwhelming that he couldn’t even stay in the Headow Stronghold and has been staying in the meeting chambers, busy being hospitable to the wealthy traders visiting the Empire palace to see him.I watch Marian and hold my breath, wishing it’s not him. But my inner wolf has been very miserable not seeing him and I know deep inside, I am missing him more than I admit to myself.Marian’s shoulde
I was totally stunned.The place has a vast space compared to seeing outside the building. There are so many exotic decorations such as horns of different species of animals, expensive silks, and furniture. But what caught my attention most was the fountain in the middle of the room that had red liquid on it, flowing perpetually as it glimmered under the dim light of the torches inside the whole place.“Is that a—”“Yes, it’s a f*cking wine fountain, Lady Peacock. So let’s go inside!”My eyes widened at the vulgarity of Marian’s words. I have never heard him talk to me like that before. Maybe because of the place? I started to notice every woman inside as Marian and I walked into the middle of the room. I made a helpless short glance at Beta Emyr but he only bowed at me with a wicked grin on his lips as if saying ‘good luck’.I started to get worried so I shoved my hand from Marian to stop her from dragging me deeper into this place. My heart rammed against my chest when I noticed how
