LOGINMila’s POVSomething was warm. Comfortably warm. I hadn’t woken up shivering like I always did in this hellhole.I frowned sleepily, but now I was warm, which was… unusual. The pillow beneath my cheek was surprisingly firm.It even rose and fell with a slow, steady rhythm.My eyes snapped open. I wasn’t lying on a pillow.I was lying on Vaelor.One of my arms was draped across his chest, and somehow, during the night, my carefully constructed pillow wall had collapsed onto the floor.I froze.No.No, no, no. Very slowly, I looked up and Vaelor was still asleep.His breathing was even, his expression calmer than I’d ever seen it. For someone who always seemed alert, he looked almost… peaceful.Then his eyes opened and they met mine. For exactly two seconds, neither of us moved.Then I practically launched myself off the bed.“I wasn’t cuddling you!”My face burned red “I moved in my sleep!”Vaelor sat up, blinking once before looking at the pile of pillows scattered across the floor.“
Mila’s POV Vaelor’s chambers looked more like the private quarters of a prince. Dark mahogany furniture filled the spacious suite, polished until it reflected the warm glow of enchanted lanterns. A fireplace crackled softly in one corner, chasing away the chill that seemed to linger throughout the underworld.Tall bookshelves lined one wall, overflowing with ancient tomes and a balcony overlooked the crimson skyline beyond the palace..He had changed his old roon feom what I remembered For a long moment, I simply stared.“This is your room?”Vaelor closed the door behind us. “It is.”He looked around. “It’s huge and clean too” I said “I’ll take that as a compliment.”“I wasn’t complimenting you.”“I know.”He seemed strangely used to my attitude.Before I could ask another question, another knock sounded.“Come in,” Vaelor called.The door opened, and Sera stepped inside carrying folded blankets and a small bundle of clothes.“There you are.”She smiled when she saw me.“I brought
Mila’s POVThe room fell silent. The King’s raised hand never reached me. Strong fingers had wrapped around his wrist, stopping him with effortless ease.I looked up and it was him. The tall black-haired leader demon.He stood between me and the King without a hint of fear. The King narrowed his crimson eyes.“What does this mean, Lord Vaelor.”So that was his name.Vaelor.He released the King’s wrist slowly and bowed just enough to remain respectful. “My King.”The King’s expression remained unreadable. “You interrupt me.”“I do.”There wasn’t an ounce of apology in his voice. “I hope you’ll forgive the discourtesy.”The King’s lips curved into a faint smile.“Give me a good reason for your attitude.”Vaelor glanced back at me for the briefest moment before facing the throne again.“I’ve taken an interest in the human pet.”I blinked.What?The King raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”“I’d like to take responsibility for her and keep her”The room grew quiet. Even Supreme looked toward Vaelor
Mila’s POVSo warm….I snuggled closer to the warmth I was feeling and touched a hard pillow, I pressed my face against it and groaned.I heard a cough then slowly, I opened my eyes and realized I was staring into red ones, I looked up and the ceiling above me wasn’t mine.Dark wooden beams stretched overhead, and unfamiliar blue flames flickered inside elegant lanterns fixed to the walls.“Where am I?”“My room” the voice said and I gasped and pushed myself upright.The last thing I remembered was getting my heat.“Did you kidnap me?” I asked and looked under the covers, I was still dressed He chuckled “Don’t flatter yourself” he said To my surprise, my body no longer ached and the pounding headache was gone. The unbearable pressure beneath my skin had disappeared.I flexed my fingers. Nothing hurt.“What happened…?”The memory returned in scattered pieces in my mind, I remember the corridor.The strange surge of power and my scent, Supreme and Bastian pulling me and then nothing
NIKAL “Missed you little mate,” I murmured, my voice low, rough with the kind of need that had been building since the moment she walked through the door at the banquet.My hands splayed across her back, fingers tracing the delicate line of her spine through the thin fabric she was wearing.She sighed, melting into me, her body soft and yielding in that way that always made my cock twitch with anticipation.“Please take it away,” she whispered back, tilting her head up. Her eyes met mine heavy with arousal.I kissed her forehead first, then her temple, trailing my lips down to her cheekbone. I wanted to savor every inch of her tonight. No rushing. My palm slid lower, cupping the swell of her ass, squeezing gently as I pulled her hips against mine. She was already warm there, heat radiating through her panties.“Let me take care of you.” I mumbled and she cried out and rubbed against me. I shifted us on the bed, keeping her in my arms as I rolled her onto her back. The hug didn’t br
Knox’s POVNika growled as I noticed a scent, it was like a drug pulling me in , I growled as I looked around, I recognized that scent and what it was doing to me.It flooded the palace so suddenly that I was on my feet before I even realized I had moved. Conrad looked up from the map spread across the table.“You smelt that too?”I was already at the door. “That’s Mila.”Hansel’s face turned pale. “She’s in heat” The three of us burst out of the room to check for her and we went into the corridor. Demons had gathered from every direction.Everyone was whispering.“The energy came from this way!”“I’ve never felt anything like it!”“The scent is so intoxicating” We pushed through the crowd. I barely heard the protests.“Make way.”The authority in my voice came naturally, even in my disguised form. The crowd instinctively stepped aside.Then I saw her. Mila, she was almost unconscious and Nikal growled when he smelt her heat and it took everything in me not to kill the demons grunti
Knox’s POV The training grounds had never felt this crowded or this tense before. Lines of soldiers stretched across the open field, their armors reflecting in the early light, their scents mixing into something sharp and restless in the air. Wolves from different territories, different kingdoms w
Mila’s POVThe dungeon smelled like damp stone and sweat.The moment they threw me inside the cage, the iron door slammed shut with a finality that echoed far deeper than the sound itself.I let out a fustrated groan and kicked the doors, Bastian was so evil for making me go through this.The momen
Mila’s POVThe sound of Knox’s roar still echoed in my bones, I had to stop physically restrain myself so I wouldn’t run out that door.Everything that had once felt controlled, powerful, untouchable… had shattered into grief and chaos.The grand hall no longer looked like a place meant for celebr
Knox’s POV“Call the healer!”My voice tore through the hall, sharp and raw, but it felt like it wasn’t loud enough.Nothing felt loud enough because my mother was dying in front of me.Blood spilled from her lips as she coughed again, her body trembling under my hands. I dropped to my knees beside
