LOGINReynaSleep didn't come easily in the servant room, not when every time I closed my eyes the king's masked face appeared behind my eyes. The worst part was each time, a warmth would fill my chest, and butterflies stirred in my stomach. In the end, I ended up sleeping late at night, and I didn't wake up until the sound of the bell ringing jolted me out of the bed. For one disoriented second, I didn't know where I was; then realisation hit me."Shit," I muttered, launching myself off the bed. It took me a little over 5 minutes to take a quick shower. I had taken one the previous day after Thelma left, seething. I had rubbed my skin until it turned pink and raw, trying to erase the scent of the alpha king and his touch on my body. Yet I could feel his hands, still hear his voice and his grunts, and remember the way his eyes had changed."Slave!" Someone knocked violently and loudly on my door as I slipped on one of the red dresses arranged on my wardrobe."The bell rang 10 minutes ago!"
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
ReynaOne Year Later Warning: This Scene Might Be TriggeringI knelt on the carpeted floor with my head bowed, tear after tear falling on the gray fabric. The sound of Kieran's zipper as he zipped his trousers up, then buckled his belt in place filled the room. My mouth still tasted of his rusty e
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 th
ReynaI squeezed my eyes shut, the sound of my scream foreign to my ears as I braced for the massive black wolf to tear my throat out. Instead, I felt something warm and rough, moving over my cheek, leaving sticky wetness. Slowly, the scream died and I opened my eyes by a fraction, my breath hitchi
Reyna My heartbeat refused to slow.I paced across my bedroom, taking in short, quick breaths that did nothing to calm the pounding in my chest. It was ten in the evening, exactly three hours to my wedding and mating ceremony. In those three hours, I was going to be joined to Randolf, my mate, in
