Cora’s POVAh, I felt like a warrior with renewed motivation as I stretched awake the next morning.By the time I’d returned to the maids’ quarters with my excuse of a dress, smudged lipstick and ruffled ponytail everyone was fast asleep and yet I’d still woken up before them. I think it was what I’d just discovered the evening before rush energized me.Normally, I’d be running off to bath and violently scrub off all the impurities from being touched by Kai and those degenerate Alphas, but this time around I felt like Kai was the one on the losing end and I’d gotten relevant information from the feast to give me a steady advantage over him that’d help me exert my revenge once and for all.The fact that I’d realized that Kai’s possessiveness was both his strength and his weakness made my heart flutter with glee. That was the one edge I now had over Kai; knowing that I was more than a common whore to him and more like a woman whose sexual prowess he’d gotten attached to without even rea

Cora’s POVAs the crate of fresh vegetables made contact with the store’s floors, I groaned in annoyance and pushed my palms against my back in a bid to sooth my sore muscles. The head mate on had marched most of the maids out of the quarters to pack fresh produce that were brought to restock the main storeroom.Outside the palace was filled with several carriages that’d brought in the food and we’d been offloading it for almost an hour already and I’d had enough of it already.“Should we just make a run for it now? I doubt the head matron would notice our absence with how many maids she has at her disposal” I whispered in Nina’s ears as she dropped a case of oil.“I’m not risking my lunch and dinner by disobeying her, you can go ahead” She told me tiredly and I rolled my eyes at her.“Chicken” I put both my hands in my armpit to form wings and waved them as I imitated the clucking sound chickens made to annoy Nina.“Cluck.all you want, I became immune to that bullshit when I clicked

Kai’s POVI awoke from an evening name that I’d made Leila induce me into after I returned from saving Cora and I felt more refreshed than ever, my head felt like it’d found its factory reset buttons and all I had to do wash push them so that things would return to normal.And, that I planned to do, I just needed an external push of my own as well.The crust of the matter was that, as I’d woken up and stretched a few minutes ago, I realized that the only reason Cora is becoming increasingly interesting to me as well as managing to occupy my thoughts from time to time is because she was the only plaything at my disposal at the moment.Most of the times, I was usually rotating about five whores that I:’d bagged as spoils of war and handing them off to Leila to get rid of as soon as I’d gotten bored of them, —something that happened rather quickly— but this time around, it had been months but I hadn't gotten bored of Cora’s tantrums and disobedience enough to get rid of her.I strongly b

Levi’s POVI’d seen Cora falling from the stairs out of the corner of my eyes as I escorted the last batch of princesses from the hall to their guest rooms for the night, but I’d left them to the guards and sped toward her to catch her in my arms at the exact second that her back would’ve hit the heard floor.“Let me go, you!” She slurred as I slung her over my shoulders.Why the hell was she so drunk? I knew for a fact that Cora could hold her liquor so she must’ve intentionally gotten drunk.“I'll leave you as soon as I drop you off at the maids’ quarters” I assured her as I marched towards the quarters, careful not to upset her stomach by moving too much so she wouldn't hurl vomit on me.“You’re so boring, blah, blah, bl….ah” She said in between hiccups and I shook my head, picking up my pace as I saw the maids’ quarters come into view.“You’re drunk, Cora. Please save your strength” I told her as I walked toward her room, it was at the farthest end of the second block.“And you're

Kai’s POVCora’s rage was what drove her, it was what replaced the blood pumping in her veins and made her as daring and fucking maddening no matter how much I tried to break her, but it was also her weakness, a fatal one at that.If she’d had any discernment when it came to flaring up, she wouldn't have revealed to me that her rival was present at my selection ball, she wouldn't have set herself up for the refined hell that she was about to go through after openly attacking an old foe right in front of me.However, I couldn't be more pleased that her easily triggered anger had helped me achieve the sole reason for the ball; finding myself a new plaything to humiliate her even further until she finally realized how worthless she was to me.I hadn't even cared to learn her rival’s name, I’d simply sent word to her to remain in the palace after the ball was over because she’d been officially added to my harem of whores. Earlier today, I’d equally sent word to the head matron to get her
