“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

[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

“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 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

“Your Grace—” I tried to protest. My breath ragged while I felt his warm hands smoothening my round, thick thighs. I am not sure if it was appropriate to do it in this kind of place, “I am afraid someone might see us here.”I felt as if I was burning alive with how intense his glare was. I missed him. I won’t get tired of screaming it inside my head. My tears fell from my eyes. I saw how the expression on his face softened. He reached for my face and felt his fingers wiping my tears, tracing them down my face, and then kissed my lips so gently it almost felt feathery.“Shh…” he hushed me and then embraced me tight, “I know you are confused about what is going on, Eodelle. I am trying to fix things on my own. I never want you to get involved in it. I would never put you in more danger.”“You are the Emperor, Aster. There is no one more powerful than you are…” I whispered to him, my eyes filled with perturbation, scared for his safety. I can feel the level of danger in the way he said
