Chapter eighteen: Recollection"You .." Karen gasped, her eyes wide and misting up with tears. "You were with him, that night."Nicolas looked shocked for all of two seconds. Then his face became a mask of emotionlessness. "Get back to it." He snapped. "I have no idea what you're talking about. "Kai noticed the change in mood. He grabbed Karen's head and turned her to face him. "What are you doing?" He asked, his eyes narrowed. "You aren't done yet."Tears filled Karen's eyes, making her vision of Kai blurry. She bit her lip, trying hard to control her tears. "My master....I ...I just remembered something and I....""I don't know you." Nicolas snapped. "Get back to work so I can be done with this."Kai let go of Karen's head. He wore his clothes back, is gaze sharp and focused on Nicolas."He forced you, didn't he?" Karen cried softly. "That's... that's why you hate me so much.""That's enough out of you!" Nicolas shouted at her. "You have no damned idea, do you?! You think that...
Chapter nineteen: allowed to breatheKai watched Nicolas leave, an uncomfortable feeling settling in his stomach. Nicolas had acted like a completely different person. But Kai had a feeling that he was the one acting like a different person. His eyes focused on Karen who was still kneeling on the floor, crying quietly. Knowing that Nicolas was the cause of her tears made anger spark in his heart.She raised her head, her eyes big, shiny and filled with tears. "My master..." She whispered. "Did you....did you have to endure that too?"Kai didn't respond. Her eyes widened and filled with horror. She clamped her hand over her mouth "oh goodness..." She sobbed. "I'm so sorry..."A few weeks ago, Kai would have been enraged at her apology. A few weeks ago, he would have had her beheaded alongside her monstrous father. A few weeks ago, she wouldn't be in his suite on her knees in front of him. Her cries were exceedingly painful. "Take my life, please" she suddenly said, reaching out and
Chapter twenty: touch my heart"I want her gone." Verena said as she bit a piece of candy off the stick. Her eyes glared at the flowers in particular in front of her. Nicolas turned and glanced at her. With the way she stood, the rays of the morning sun hit her face through the roof, making her eyes look like pools of honey. He quickly turned away.He was taking some time off his morning to relax in the garden. Verena found him and joined him without asking, offering him a piece of candy which he politely declined. She then went off a rant of how much Kai had changed because of Karen."Alpha Kai wouldn't appreciate that." Nicolas said. "That's exactly my point." Verena groaned. "It's like he's charmed by her or something.""That's not true. Alpha Kai cannot be charmed by anyone, you and I know how it ended the last time you tried to.""Ugh! Don't even remind me okay?!"A brief period of silence passed. Nicolas closed his eyes briefly and inhaled the scent of flowers. It felt calming
Chapter twenty one: mad for youKaren whimpered softly as her body rocked with the force of Kai's thrusts. She could feel his anger in every thrust that was aimed at the spongy spot inside of her.It made her cry out in a mixture of pain and pleasure.She didn't know what she had done wrong. He had come back to the suite in the middle of her duties and without words he tore her clothes off. He barely took any time at all to prep her before his length was already digging into her. Karen tried to turn her head and glance at him. He smacked her head lightly, not enough to hurt but enough to tell her to turn her head back.It was getting easier to take him now. For some reason it didn't hurt as much as it did the first time. But it still hurt, a lot. Karen moaned softly as he hit a particular spot inside her that felt really good. "Ah," She whispered, moving her hips back to meet his thrusts.A groan came from him, deep and powerful. Karen felt a flutter in her heart. He wasn't always
Chapter twenty two: daddy's home"Daddy!""My flame princess! You've gotten so big!"Verena squealed in excitement and ran towards her father. She jumped into his arms, hugging him excitedly. He twirled her in the air laughing like a lucky man."I've missed you!" She said with a pout. "You said you'd come visit, but I you didn't!"He smiled warmly at her. "I'm here now, aren't I?"Verena giggled. "Of course! Come in, you must have had a long trip!"Kai watched the exchange between Verena and her father, and it felt like he was looking at another Verena. Asher Conan was the alpha of Crest Pack, and Verena's father. He was tall and had a dignified aura to him. His gray hair was cut short, his golden eyes glowed with youthful life. Asher turned to Kai. "The young alpha," He said warmly. "I see you're doing well."The young alpha. That was what Asher had called him the very moment he set eyes on him. Asher turned to Nicolas who stood beside Kai. "Nicolas," He said. "It's good to see y
Chapter twenty three: giving in to the flamesKaren walked into the room, her head hung low and her entire posture demure. Her long hair draped down her body in waves of spun gold. She was dressed in a long white nightdress. Kai felt a spark of lust just by staring at her."Verena," he said. Verena turned to him, an expectant look on her face, "leave us.""My alpha," She said softly. "Do not make me repeat myself." Kai said sternly. Verena huffed. She stormed out of the suite, intentionally bumping her shoulder into Karen on the way out. "What is it?" Kai asked Karen. She sniffed and wiped her eyes. "I...""Look at me when I'm talking to you."She slowly raised her head. Kai felt his heart thud again. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes hazy and teary. Her lips were red from how many times she had bit it. She looked so.... innocent. Her hands gripped her nightgown, fisting it tightly. Kai could see her squirming, rubbing her thighs together."I can't take it anymore.. " She whispe
Chapter twenty four: aftermath or aftercare?Karen slowly stirred awake, the sound of an angry voice waking her up. She Looked around her, her brain taking a moment to register her surroundings. She as lying on a bed, a bed that was familiar to her. She gasped ,her eyes flying wide open. It dawned on her that she had fallen asleep! Next to Kai..."Oh she's finally awake!" She heard Verena's voice snap. Karen flushed bright red, realizing that she was naked. She jumped out of bed, her body screaming in protest, particularly her cunt. She recalled memories of the previous night, how many times Kai had made her cum, how long her had rammed her for. No wonder it felt like a truck had passed through her legs!Karen faced Kai and bowed. "Good morning, My master." She said softly. "I shall be taking my leave now.""You have an hour to return for your duties." Kai said coldly. Karen felt hurt at his nonchalant tone but she nodded. She turned and came face to face with Verena. "You little
Chapter twenty five: goldNicolas bumped into Verena as she was leaving her father's room. "You didn't tell him, did you." He asked her, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Tell him what?" Verena asked. "I have no idea what you're talking of."Nicolas sighed. He knew something like this was going to happen. "Verena stop playing around and answer me!""Why does it matter?" She said with a shrug. "He chose her over me, fine. He can go ahead and marry her if he wants."Nicolas sighed in exhaustion. He knew that if Asher found out about Karen, he may ask Kai to execute her. And if Asher asked Kai, Kai would have no choice but to obey. Nicolas honestly didn't want that to happen. He had just seen Kai well rested for the first time in years. If Karen had that effect on him, then that was a good thing. Even if it was the only good thing that came from her. "I was really hurt you know," Verena suddenly said. "He keeps pushing me away, breaking my heart Everytime. And when I try to go to him
