Iris woke up feeling hot and achy. She frowned when her entire body protested even by a slight moment. Her eyes opened wide with panic and she looked at her naked body tangled with a muscular and well-built man, who looks no less than a Greek god. She doesn't have to see his face to know who it is. Everything that happened last night came back to her like a bucket of ice water. She slept with the king of the werewolves and lost her virginity as well. She didn't remember how many times they were at it, but looking at how sore her body is, too many times to count. She never thought she would lose her virginity to a man from another world.
"Eros" she screamed with anger and pushed the man away from her. He didn't budge, but in her haste to get away from him, she fell down. When cool air in the vast room hit her naked body, she began to shiver. She pulled a random piece of clothing over her head, which turned out to be his undershirt.
"Is this the way you wake up every morning?" Eros asked her while lazily stretching his body.
Iris glared at him with anger.
"You shameless man, how can you do this to me?" She yelled at him angrily.
Her voice is so loud, that the human maids waiting outside for them to wake up could hear her. They winced a little, feeling guilty for mixing Aphrodisiac in her food. She was being difficult and the king ordered them to prepare her to serve him for the night. But she refused to do so. The maids panicked and mixed this medicine to make her eager in bed and satisfy the king. They wanted to escape from punishment.
Eros looked at her intently. Last night she was drugged, and that much he figured out. She stripped her clothes and began to kiss him as soon as he entered her chamber. He is a man in his prime and the king of the were kingdom. She is beautiful for a human. So he accepted her eagerness. But until the moment he entered her, he didn't know that she was a virgin. If he did, then he wouldn't have let it happen like this. He is an asshole, but not so much so. He despises humans with a vengeance, but that doesn't mean he cannot enjoy a willing hot human woman.
"It's you who asked for it. Do you remember human?" Eros asked her without a trace of guilt.
The moment Iris heard him call her as a 'human ' with so much disdain, her anger spiked even more. She glared at the naked king of the werewolves, who is currently looking at her intently.
"I was drugged. If I was in the right frame of mind, I wouldn't even touch you with a ten-inch pole. You call yourself the king of the dogs, can't you see that I hate you?" She snapped at him.
Eros is up and held her by her throat in a millisecond. He pulled her face closer to his before speaking quietly. But the anger in his tone is evident to her.
"Careful Iris, I am being lenient towards you since the beginning. Call us dogs again and you wouldn't like the outcome" he threatened her.
He is surprised to see anger and loathing in her eyes rather than fear. He made grown men double her size cry with fear when he is pissed. But one little human is testing his self-control.
Iris smirked at his threat.
"Careful Eros, I am being lenient with you as well. Call me 'human ' again, and you wouldn't like the outcome" she threatened him. No matter her brave come back, she is scared. She is pissed that she lost her virginity to an undeserving man like him.
Interest sparked in his eyes once again. This is what attracted him since the moment he met her a day ago. Her spirit and her sharp tongue are amusing. He loosened his hold around her neck but didn't let her go altogether.
"You are a human, what is so wrong if I call you a human?" he challenged her.
Iris pulled herself out of his hold with irritation. She doesn't want him to touch her more than he already did.
Iris snorted sarcastically.
"You are a dog, what is so wrong with calling you one?" She retorted.
The maids of Iris and the butler of Eros are standing near the door and they heard her calling him a dog. They are horrified and are expecting him to behead her anytime soon. With his temper, it would be soon.
She is testing his patience and he wanted to strangle her for calling him a dog.
"Iris" he snapped.
"Eros" she snapped back.
Eros closed his eyes tightly to control his temper.
"I am your king, you should address me as your highness. You should not call me by my given name" he muttered angrily. Her body is to die for, but the moment she opens her mouth, she will make him madder than anyone ever could.
Iris didn't even bother to acknowledge him this time. She turned towards the bathroom to wash his stupid scent off her body. But he didn't let her go far, he pulled her back by holding her forearm.
"How dare you? You dismissed your king? Do you know it's a mistake and I could punish you severely?" he told her angrily.
Iris tried to pull her arm away, but he didn't budge.
"You are not my king. You are the king of those d..." she couldn't finish her sentence, he didn't let her.
"Finish that sentence and you would find yourself on that bed underneath me again" he warned her, which made her snap her mouth shut in an instant.
Eros smirked with satisfaction. Now he knows how to control this unruly woman.
"Better, you can live a better life if you keep your mouth shut and be obedient like the other women in my kingdom. If you don't, then even I can't protect you for much longer" he advised her.
Iris is angry and frustrated.
"I don't want to stay here longer. I want to go back home. I want to go to my world. This is not my world and you people are not mine. I have a home and a life there. I don't have to keep my mouth shut to live longer there. I might not have this huge room or expensive jewellery there, but still, it's mine. I want to go back, Eros. Send me back. I don't want to be one of your concubines in your harem. You already have so many, you would definitely not miss me if I am gone" she said with tears pooling in her eyes, but her pride didn't let her cry in front of him.
Eros felt something twitch inside his heart. He registered it as pain. Pain is a foreign feeling to him. But one little human woman is making him feel things which he never experienced before. He frowned when he noticed where his feelings are going.
"What? One night with me and you are done with your act? If you behave, I can consider sending you back to the compound. You can tell whoever sent you here that you failed to kill the king just the woman who killed my father" he sneered the last part with venom.
Iris is frustrated. No one is believing her when she is telling them that she came from another world and not that compound they insist on where she belongs to. She tried telling him countless times that she came from another world, but he is under the impression that all humans are liars.
"Forget it" she muttered when she understood he will not help her. She turned and began to walk away from him.
Eros looked at her receding figure.
"You can stay here as long as you want. Be ready to serve me every night. I rather enjoyed our night together" he goaded her.
He is angry with himself that he is letting himself get effected by a human woman. He is determined to torture her until she tells him about who sent her here and on what purpose.
Iris found the huge bathing tub which can fit ten people at once. She noticed that it is filled with warm water. Slowly she let her body submerge under the water and closed her eyes. Everything that happened in the past two days began to play in front of her eyes again. It still feels like a dream. But her encounter with that creepy man turned it into a nightmare. Iris is an independent 21-year-old woman who used to run her grandfather's antique shop in Seattle. Two days ago, when she was cleaning the shop, she stumbled upon an old painting that her grandfather gifted her on her 18th birthday. She became emotional looking at the painting. That was the last gift her grandfather gave her before he died. Her parents died in a car crash when she was 10 years old. Since then, her grandfather took her in and he became her guardian and parent. But she lost him too after she turned 18. Since then, she was all alone, until she slipped on a wet rag and fell on the painting. To her horror, i
"Drag her out" A man wearing an expensive-looking shirt and black breeches ordered the guards outside the prison cell, indicating Iris.Diandra is worried about Iris. She spent one evening and night with Iris to understand that her smart mouth and sharp tongue are going to push her into trouble. Just before the guards could open the cell door and drag Iris with them to the royal court, Diandra decided to warn iris."Iris, stay quiet and apologise to that man for kicking him. They might leave you with a simple punishment. Try not to attract the king's attention. He is the worst one of the lot. He hates humans. Stay quiet Iris" Diandra warned.The guards came in and pulled Iris out of the cell and led her out of the prison to present her in the royal court.On the other hand, Eros is amused. He heard a human woman kick a WERE man for touching her."You were kicked by a woman? Shame on you. You are almost triple her size, but still, she outsmarted you?" Maxim, his second in command scol
"Maxim, throw him in the cold cell for two months" Eros commanded coldly, ignoring the pleas of the man who tried to take advantage of Iris. When Iris saw this, she became a little surprised. She was not expecting this from the king. When Diandra warned her about this man, she thought the worst about him. "If you know they should not take advantage of a woman, then why the hell was I thrown into a prison for defending myself" Iris muttered to herself. Eros heard her, but he ignored her for the time being. He will come back to her after he is done with his guard. The guard who molested Iris is shuffling on his feet with fear. He knows that they should not behave badly with female prisoners. But he thought that human is going to get punished today, and he thought of having a little fun. Her body is tempting him to touch it. But he did not expect her to slap him. He thought she would keep quiet like others whom he molested before this human woman. "I. Your highness.." he shuttered u
"I heard he spent last night with that human. She was allotted the palace closer to his highness" Lilith, the maid gossiped with her mistress. Mina looked at her maid with a calculating gleam in her eyes. "He spent an entire night with a human?" she asked with a hint of disbelief. Lilith nodded her head. Mina is the daughter of one of the ministers in the WERE kingdom and also the fiancee of his highness, king Eros. She served him as his concubine for a year before he selected her as his future empress and mate. From the moment she was announced as the future empress, her previous docile attitude disappeared and she began to show her true colors. The other concubines in the harem began to fear her viciousness. If she finds out that the king is showing a little bit of interest in any of his concubines, she would make sure to destroy their reputation and make Eros detest them. They are tens of beauties in the king's personal harem. The most beautiful women from the entire kingdom
"You must be the new human added to the harem" when Iris heard a sweet voice, she turned to face a beautiful woman. "Good morning your highness" all the maids greeted Mina by going on to their knees. "Raise" Mina said, showing Iris that she has the upper hand here. The moment Iris looked at Mina, her gut instinct told her not to trust her at all. To her eyes, Mina looked like a snake in sheep's clothing. Iris didn't bother to reply to Mina's comment. Instead, she turned her face away and ignored the woman. When Iris blatantly ignored Mina, it made her angry. "Didn't anyone told you to show respect to the one's who bear higher rank than you ?" she asked arrogantly. Iris snorted sarcastically. "That's why my maids bowed to you" she replied nonchalently. She is already irritated to be trapped in this world. On top of that, she doesn't have enough patience to deal with arrogant good for nothing woman like her. That made Mina angry. Lillith and the maids are shocked as well.
Mina is galring at Iris. She hurt her elbow when she fell down and now its bleeding. "Wait until i report this to his highness" Mina threatened. The moment the other concubines registered the threat, they scattered away from the scene with fear. But Iris on the other hand is least bothered about it. "Be my guest. You can tell him what ever you want" she muttered with an eye roll. At the same time, Eros came from behind her, which she sensed immediately. "Here he comes. You can have a gala time with you fiancee. I am leaving" Iris muttered and took a step in the opposite direction from where she can sense Eros is coming. He is too close and with his heightened senses, he heard everything both the women said to each other. He caught Iris by her elbow and stopped her from leaving. When Mina saw Eros, she began to shed fake tears. She bowed her head and transformed into her gentle dove persona and began to pretend. "Your highness, she is hurting me. I tried telling her to behave, b
Iris is restless. She searched and tried for the entire day to find out a way to go back. She even searched for a painting that looked like the one she fell into. But all her efforts are in vain. No one is ready to help her in the first place. They all are looking down upon her because she is a human. Apart from Eros who is showing a hint of softness towards her, everyone is making her feel like she is the dirt under their shoes. That king wants to sleep with you again. That's why he is being considerate. Don't you remember how he treated you when you came here?' her sub-conscience reminded her. After the scene with Mina the would-be queen, the maids who are appointed to serve Iris began to tell her how stupid she was to trifle with Mina. They threatened her that from now onwards, Mina would target her and they are scared to stay here and serve Iris. So they left her palace leaving Iris alone to fend for herself. She is hungry as she has not eaten anything since the previous night.
Eros finished his duties for the day, and he decided to retire for the night. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples tiredly. People think being kind is all about power over his subjects. But no one really thinks about the immense responsibilities a king actually has over his people. A normal is only responsible for the well-being of his family, but a king is responsible for the entire nation. He has to make sure that his people are well taken care of and that all of their needs are met without any issues. "Your highness, it's already late and you tired. You should consider retiring for the day" his trusted attendant in waiting Thomas suggested carefully. Thomas takes care of Eros, like his food, accompanying the king in his day-to-day obligations, etc. He is just like a personal maid to Eros and will stay invisible. He will appear only when he is needed. He will make sure that Eros has everything he needs. He will not prepare anything personally, but he will look after the prepa
