LOGINHello lovelies! Thank you for giving my book a chance. Well, I just wanted to confess that I struggled writing this chapter, especially showing the characters' struggles. I hope it is clear tho' If you are loving the book so far, please like, comment and review...I will highly appreciate it.
King ZionI sat on the balcony of my ruined room, a glass of scotch hanging loosely in my hand. My eyes swept over the vast kingdom outside the palace, the woods surrounding it, spanning far past where my eyes reached. Usually, that view alone brought a sense of pride in me, but in that moment, my hazy mind was filled with questions that kept on going in cycles.Several bottles of scotch lay discarded around me, their contents already drowned inside, in an attempt to bury what had transpired in my office, but it seemed to get clearer the more I drank. The worst part is I couldn't pretend that I didn't remember it because even when my wolf surfaced, my consciousness wasn't pushed away entirely."Zion!" Clark's voice sounded right before the main door closed and he stepped out on the balcony."Leave," I ordered without giving him time to talk, taking a gulp of the burning liquid. "Oh no," he chuckled, pulling a chair beside me. "You are not getting rid of me this fast." My jaw tightene
ReynaI sat on the bed, my mind and body still reeling from what had transpired. I could taste the rising bile in my mouth as my stomach churned. I had come down from the high of the orgasm and every time a fragment of me enjoying his touch flashed in my mind, nausea crept up. How could I have allowed my body to surrender to him? With my shoulders hunched, I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to push out every ounce of pleasure I had experienced.A knock from the main door pulled me from my predicament, followed by Clark's voice. "I am coming in in the next 10 minutes; please dress up," he announced.With the resolve I had left, I dragged my feet to the main space of the office. Each step caused friction that added to the soreness between my legs, an awful reminder of what had happened between me and the alpha king. As soon as I wore the tunic, Clark confirmed through a knock and then walked in."Reyna," he acknowledged."The alpha king asked me to take you to the servant quarters;
Reyna Robinson Fluttering sensations filled my chest and my stomach as soon as his words sank in. The thought of submitting to him, however, had a sudden ache stirring in my mind. He turned on his heel, his towering form heading for one of the doors in his office. "Don't wait for me to ask you to follow me," his deep voice snapped me out of my inner war and propelled my feet forward after him. Every step caused friction between my thighs and an increased warmth spreading from my groin, outwards, making me shorten my strides to hide it. Unlike at the healer's place, where his back repulsed me as he headed for the SUV, staring at it now had my hands itching to feel it beneath them. "Why is this happening to me?" I mumbled to myself. "I don't even have a wolf, so why is his saliva affecting me?" I whispered to myself, low enough for only me to hear. "Get on the bed." He opened the door to reveal an inside room, one that was a full master en suite. In the middle, a king-size bed sat, c
ReynaHave you ever felt like you were in a bubble, and suddenly someone poked it with a needle, burst it and left you exposed? That is exactly how I felt as I watched the alpha king retreat to the SUV. I wished he'd turn into his wolf and stay trapped in that state; maybe then I would know peace."I'm sorry," Clark muttered, just as the healer exited, carrying a khaki bag.I snapped my head towards him, my jaw tightening. "Says the person who brought me here in the first place!" I hissed, putting on a forced smile for the old kind woman. She handed the bag to him and stepped closer to me."This will pass," she whispered, squeezing my arm gently. "I promise you that what does not glitter, sometimes, is gold, and when the time is right, it will glitter," she whispered, her eyes holding mine in a heavy depth for a few seconds."Clark!" The alpha king's voice broke the trance between the healer and me. The woman took a step back, muttering something under her breath. Clark extended his f
King ZionThe shift back into my human form was fast and painless, almost as if my mind was being released quickly from a cage. I knew I had shifted into my wolf, but like always, I did not remember what I did in that beast form. It had always burdened me how every month I would lose hours of memory, no matter how much I tried to remember."Welcome back, my king," Clark said in a raspy voice, throwing a bedsheet over my naked body.He was seated on a swivel chair, his forehead creased with deep lines, his eyes seeming a little distant. He was the only one who had seen me without a mask since the first night I lost sanity, the only person who truly knew me. I blinked, sitting up, my eyes roaming over the damage in my room. The desk was broken, papers strewn on the floor; the window was broken, and shards of glass littered the floor. But as my surroundings sank into my mind, my brows furrowed."Wait," I said, raking my brain up. "How the hell did I get in here from the forest?" I had al
ReynaFor the first time since Randolf died, I had the luxury of having a decent sleep, and yet my thoughts couldn't let me rest. Even with my wounds healed, I kept on tossing and turning on the bed, my mind revolving around what the healer had said. She had taken me back to her cabin, away from the chaos. For some reason, she was treating me like her long-lost granddaughter, and as much as it was supposed to make me happy, it raised questions in the back of my head."What's on your mind, child?" The healer asked, handing me a steaming cup of coffee.I was seated outside on her front porch, staring at the array of trees lined up on either side of the narrow gravel road. Every chirp of the birds and the sound of tree branches moving in the wind reminded me of Randolf. It was hard not to look at the forest and not remember his limp body from that night. Every time I did, though, a pair of red molten eyes flashed in my mind."The king's wolf." I didn't entirely lie. A part of me felt dra
