What did you think Eloive and the girl was thinking when they both stopped at the door of the drawing room? I'll let you know what I thought if I see a thumbs-up for this chapter. Who remembers Toreh? Leave a gem if you do. Thanks.
Sex after sex, after sex.That's practically what the Shaming is. I know most people would like that-constant sex, but not me. The Shaming might have been wonderful if shamed right, if your pussy won't be overworked by a good number of men. The Shaming has caused wolves a lot. Broken bonds, broken homes, broken relationships, infertility, and in rare cases, infection. The Shaming simply means nonstop sex from dusk till dawn that leads to death.Nobody has ever survived the Shaming and I would be honored to be the first. The only advantage of such torturous punishment is that it makes people understand that there are men out there who can blindly fuck someone's mate for hours.I can still be saved, if Ruarc would just confess. He doesn't however, keeping his mouth shut as he waits for the drama to unfold. I know the process all too well. Once I have reached the men, I lie put and let them have their way with me, in the presence of so many people.I take a tentative step towards the men
Sia tried hard not to stare at the bruises on Crinka’s neck as she slept. He had done that to her. She had begged him not to do it, but he did it anyway. The council was watching, so he had to make sure that she was punished. He risked one look at her again, taking in her slightly parted lips, the steady rise and fall of her chest, the small blush on her cheeks from the midnight cold. Her shirt had slightly risen, revealing the fading scars from Ruarc’s violent grip. Sia gritted his teeth.“Awwn, is someone mad? That I left a mark on her body and he didn’t?”, Ruarc asked sweetly, his anger forgotten when he saw the one on Sia’s face. He breathed in, hating the scent of his brother’s room. The scents of two scents becoming one.Sia glared at his brother, before reaching for the chamomile tea he had prepared fr himself. He liked the tea because it helped him relax, and if Ruarc wanted to leave here alive, he needed to drink it fast. Carefully, he put the cup to his lips, held his brothe
When I wake up, Sia is nowhere to be found and that’s weird because I am certain we went to bed together. In his stead lay clean underwear and a nice frilly dress. There’s no way I am wearing that. I’m not some fucking princess. Huffing, I snatch the note taped to the dress. Written on it are instructions in Sia’s handwriting.Crinka,I want you to read this using my voice.I stop reading. Okay that’s easy. I continue reading.Done that? Good. Now I’m sure you you’ve seen the clothes I laid out for you. You are to wear them and come join us for breakfast. I know I haven’t given you a tour of the palace, so I am sending Ruarc t get you.I frown at that. Doesn’t he know how much I despise Ruarc or has Sia forgotten what his elder brother did to me? Sighing, I undress and take a shower. After toweling off, I put on the underwear, but I don’t touch the dress. What was Sia thinking when he got me these awful stilettos? I don’t even know how to walk in them. Heels yes, but not stilettos!I
“Have you spoken with the other concubines wolf? Have you dined with them? More importantly have you learnt from them?”.I frown, munching quickly on the piece of pancake Sia had shoved into my mouth. Learn from them? What exactly does she want me to learn from them? Sex positions that will enable one to conceive sooner?Swallowing, I bow low to the queen. “No my queen. I haven’t had the opportunity to meet with them”.There’s a snort, and it’s coming from one of Ruarc’s wives.“You haven’t had the opportunity? You mean to tell me wolf that you don’t know the other concubines?”.I slowly nod.“Unbelievable. How then do you want to join the threshold of concubines if you simply have not met them wolf?”.“I would make sure I meet with them today my queen”, I speak quickly. Sia’s knuckles skim my thigh, and I shift nervously on his lap. He growls lowly. Goddess the sound!“There’s no time for that I’m afraid”, Ruarc says, skillfully peeling an orange.“And why not?”, Massa asks, popping
“The dresses are beautiful but I won’t be wearing them”.The maid, a small lady in a typical maid outfit looks at me in surprise. “But madam, these dresses have been made from the finest laces in our kingdom and beyond. Is it the net? Don’t worry my lady we can remove the net if you don’t want it”.“It’s not the net. I just don’t like them”.“That’s a bummer my lady. We worked very hard to make these dresses for you and you say you don’t like them?”, the maid shrieks.I risk a glance at all the dresses that are spread out on Sia’s bed. They are so many and ugh! I just don’t like them.“I’m very sorry if you wasted your time but it’s still a no. Take your dresses and replace them with leather pants. The kind the princes wear.”The maid let out a horrified gasp. “My lady, it’s forbidden for a woman to walk around wearing pants! Especially a woman of your status!”.“Do you wanna know a secret? I wasn’t always like this, curvy and pretty. There was a time my aura screamed male. And then I
“Mila, bring out my suitcase and pack my things. Be fast about it”.The confused maid looks at me. “Are you travelling with the prince my lady?”.I glare at her. “Of course not! Don’t worry. I would pack it myself. Just get me a suitcase.”The maid scrambles to her feet. I lean against the wall, catching my breath. Tattoos? Moving eyes? Needles? Fuck every other thing but needles? Oh no. I have to leave before Sia learns of my plan to escape.The door jerks open and my plans to escape are destroyed as Sia steps into the room, face etched in fury. He knows. Goddess, he knows.Mila curtsies once she sees him. “Good afternoon my prince”.It’s just 11:59!His eyes flicker to Mila. “Leave us Mila. And tell my father that we won’t be joining him for lunch”.She curtsies again. “Should I bring lunch my prince?”.“No. Don’t bother yourself.”She curtsies again, leaving me to my doom. Sia shuts the door, before turning to me. He unclasps his wristwatch, dropping it on the bed. Still holding my
“I still don’t understand it”, I confess, wiping away a tear. “We had gone from loving and intimate to….I don’t know. He hates me”. Mila gasps. “My lady, don’t say that. I am sure the prince doesn’t hate you. He might be mad but he certainly doesn’t hate you”. My scratchy eyes are fixed on the door. Sia had left me, and I broke down. Mila came in a moment later with my dress for the Claiming and when she saw me, she threw it in a corner, and gathered all the tissues she could find. “You’re just saying that to make me feel better”, I say sniffling. His words had destroyed me.Sia had called me stupid, insatiable and insane. He had said it on a more complex term but I understood it all the same. The realization makes me start crying. Mila hands me the tissues, patting my back awkwardly. I don’t blame her for being so uncomfortable. She is being forced to make me feel better. “You don’t have to lie to me Mila. He does hate me. Oh Mila, what am I do to now?”. “Stop crying”. I just st
Meet me in the cellar now Thane. Sia frowned at the little note on the desk. He was just in the middle of his haircut when the note came in. He didn’t know what Thane wants. Lifting his gaze from the tiny piece of paper, he checked the time. 6pm. Dinner would have been served by now, but after receiving Thane’s message, he isn’t so sure he would come down for dinner. He didn’t even have lunch, and Crinka was to blame for that. Sighing, Sia took note of all the hair strands on the ground, his chest tightening. It would grow back, he said to himself. “Pharix, it’s enough”. The woman paused. “But my prince, I am not done with the curls.” “Leave them like that”. “But your highness…” He rose gradually and Pharix was forced to step back. Sia looked at himself in the mirror. He didn’t like having so much hair in his face, but it was the least he could do to please Pharix. Let her touch his hair. She seemed to like it anyway, but Crinka loved it better. Maybe more than she loved R
