Cody's pov__________"Guess you're feeling much better" I said trying not to sound uninterested."Yes, thank you"Silence, when I was told my bride was ready for our date I was in-between the nude sketches I was making, one I left littered on the floor of my room, let's just hope none of the servants sees it."So uhh, I heard you came by yesterday to check on me""Yes I did, I was worried when I heard you had suddenly taken ill, you do look good in that short time""Wolves don't take time to heal" she said smiling and I smiled.Lumi was beautiful I never disregarded that fact but I just was not interested in her, maybe if kaliya wasn't in the picture I would have paid attention to her, who knows, but then there was still so much time to get to know her besides the moment our wedding gets finalized it would be just us, no more kaliya, she was nothing more than a challenge."What do you do in your kingdom?" She asked cheerily and I chuckled."Do you really want to know ?" I asked stari
Kaliya’s pov____________Was I bothered? No tge question is why did it bother me, not even one glance? He couldn’t spare me not even a glance ohh that Icked me, it annnoyed me greatly that I got bothered because of how much it bothered me.It’s been two days after stumbling upon Cody and Lumi on the field, the whole time he was talking to my father I was screaming look at me in my head, i didnt even pay attention to Lumi, I went over to her room that night to apologize didnt want her thinking that it was because of our little altercation that I ignored her that day, I-“You’ve been getting lost in your head lately Kaliya are you sure you are okay?” Lumi voice broke through my thoughts and I sighed, she was right I have been thinking too much lately and although I feel okay I doubt I am okay but then I wouldn’t tell her that.“I am doing great” again with the lies, before the ending of the week i should be a professional liar.“Thats good then we should head out for breakfast”Lumi sa
Cody's Pov__________The only good time I have had in the North so far was the argument at the table. For once, here, it felt like men being men. The North were too reserved in their speech and it gladdened me to hear Akkar and Kato throw in some curse words during the argument. One more thing interested me.Incubus demons doing the thing we do best - manipulation.To stay away from an incubus demon, you have to never think about them. But, oops, the virgin of the moon had this south king on her mind and it was easy to penetrate her thoughts on the table.It felt like victory when I went into her head and she had heard me. I was very close to achieving the bet with my friends and me. This was a very big step, because the more I spread into her thoughts, the wider it got for me to completely go into her dreams.Kaliya…I was going to snatch her from the moon goddess.The discussion was over and the bride's family stood up to go. Lumi and Kaliya had left the table earlier but when I s
Kaliya's Pov__________\It was past forty-five minutes that I had been waiting for Lumi, but she hadn't arrived yet. My father and her father were not around either. I needed to go to the temple and come back on time. "Proceed" I ordered the carriage, which started moving immediately. Lumi was going to join me later if she wished. I didn't want to miss my prayer time because of her.Moreover, she would be leaving with her husband soon, and I needed to get used to going to the temples alone, or else, I would be stuck missing her for life.I looked out the little carriage window as we moved. The temple allowed me to have a clear mind as it was only the goddess and me in our trance. The goddess would speak to me about previous things that I had prayed for and I would relay the message to those who were concerned.But today, I was going to the goddess to ask for forgiveness. Sympathy for breaking my prayer rules and strength to overcome the next phase of troubles that awaited me. I was
Kaliya’s pov_____________I never thought going to uncle kato’s home will bother me, my mind was nowhere settled because I know what I was returning back to.The two weeks I spent in the castle was blissful for me, I had been sent back home to deliver some message to some people, I was reminded what I was and what I stood for, I made sure I rededicated my life back to the goddess, my mind and thoughts were clear.“We will be there soon” I heard one of the guards say and I nod my head, traveling solo was pretty boring for me thats why my father always followed but this time he couldn’t now I have no one to talk to but myself, maybe i should get a personal maid to escort me everywhere.It was not a bad idea and I shall pitch it to my father soon but for now the silence is my friend.I wonder if Lumi misses me, she should be occupied with her husband, now that I think about it, it was the first time in two weeks I had thought about him, wow.“We are here “ I heard before the carriage ca
Cody's Pov___________"Beautiful…" I muttered. My pen scratched the drawing surface lightly as I finalized the edges of her lips. I sank into the chair, looking at the result of my drawing. I felt satisfied… I hadn't stopped thinking about her face over and over again and bringing it to life impressed me. I was stuck at drawing just her eyes for a long time, but now, there was progress in my sketch. It looked exactly like her…Kaliya.That scene at the temple was not one I could forget quickly, the shock on her face when she saw me, the way her skin felt when we brushed hands…I wanted that woman to myself. I hadn't taken so long to get a woman.I sighed. I had revealed my intentions to her at the temple. Was that a bold or stupid step? I had mentioned wanting to fuck her, I had openly said out my fantasy. Was that a bad move in getting the virgin of the moon?I didn't think so. I needed Kaliya to think of me as much as she could. I wanted her to be curious about the words that I say
Cody’s pov___________From the start I knew she was never going to show up, I just agreed so I wouldn’t stress Lumi any further.“Im sorry, I would talk to her she di-““It’s okay, she probably has her reasons” I said to Lumi patting her head, whatever reasons Kaliya has sure as hell had to do with the fact that she can not bring herself to be in the same space with me, at least not after since what happened in tge temple.“Im sorry Cody, I set this thing up, making you agree and we a-““Shhh, it’s fine, go be with your sister, in my own time and way I’d make her realize I am not someone she should be scared of..” ohh but I was someone she should be frightened of “…you have done enough and your best, it’s okay” I said and she smiled, looked like she was thinking something nasty in her head because there was a strong pull in my senses, one i was not enticed by.“Goodnight Cody” she said but didnt leave, huh?“Are you okay?”“Yeah” she said before standing on her tiptoes to kiss me on
Kaliya's Pov_________I lay to sleep and darkness encircled me. Yet, something feels different about this sleep. It felt like I was alert, somewhere and somehow. Was it my soul that left me? It wouldn't be…but I watched myself in my room lying down while I met myself in the temple.This must be the goddess calling for me. I had had dreams where I had to be where the moon goddess wanted me to be. She mostly spoke to me during these times. I walked around the statues in the temples calling the goddess's name so she could speak to me now that I was here.But I heard nothing from her. I turned to leave that section when I felt a hard pull. I stopped, clearly frightened, as no one had the leverage to be in my dream without my consent. The hand pulled me back, causing me to hit the person in the chest. Swiftly, the person's other hand wrapped around my waist and panic set inside me. "Kaliya…" my name was said softly, but yet familiar. I slowly looked up at the figure that held me and his
Cody’s pov__________She wasn’t sleeping, she wasn’t even thinking of me and it agitated me, was she pissed at me? I mean she should but then that does not mean she was going to stay awake through the night.I stayed seated on the couch staring blankly at the door as if she would come in any moment.“Just how long do you want to keep fighting with the damn door?” Lou said carrying a bag of snacks, I did not respond because I didn’t want to miss the moment I felt Kaliya think of me.“Cody?” He called out, I know from where he was standing it looked like I had zoned out and although it was funny I was not in the mood to laugh it out.“Mann, get a grip!” He hollered and I groaned with my face in my palms, Lou was pretty annoying.Pretty sure he came to carry the snacks as a way to check up on me, sometimes I could not tell if he was my friend or a body guard.“Get lost Lou, you are disturbing my rest” I said rolling my eyes and he snickered.“Resting with your eyes open, thats new” he s
Kaliya’s Pov________As we reached Lumi's house we met Lumi's father, Kato in the living room. Lumi hugged her father while I stood behind her and waved at my uncle."Your wedding rehearsals are coming up soon, the designer will be here soon," her father said."Well, I shall take a bath before she arrives then" Lumi smiled. "Kaliya, this is the perfect time to select all the beautiful dresses you can think of for me""Well, you have the better taste, but yes I will be available to make my pick""And we can go spend the night at your house," Lumi said."No…not tonight" I had no idea why I said that, but I did."Why?" Lumi asked"Community prayers" I lied. I had been lying way too often, lately. "I have a list of prayers I have to include…""That's okay" she smiled. I nodded and Lumi rushed into the room to take a shower. What was I doing tonight and why did intellect Lumi's offer? Was this because I unconsciously expected Cody to visit me? Was it because I was avoiding being caught b
Cody’s pov___________I wished I was near her to see her reactions, I genuinely had not been expecting them to be outside but it was good for me because I had missed her. “Careful Cody, your obsession is showing” Clinton said and I frowned.“What does that even mean?” I asked, the frown not leaving my face.“It’s obvious you like her”“Like? Thats not even possible she’s just a tool” I said whispering the last part of my sentence as if trying to avoid Kaliya from hearing that.“Look, I noticed it too and I know how you get once you start to obsess over someone and I-““I don’t even understand what you two are on about!” I said in genuine confusion, I was no where obsessed with Kaliya, I mean I liked seeing ans taunting her but that didn’t mean I liked her or was obsessed.“I see how you search the room in every gathering, how that little smile curls up your face when you see her” Lou said.“I also know you have been talking to her in her head, how you just zone out and sometimes hav

Kaliya's Pov_________I rushed into the bathroom the instant there was a knock on my door. I had woken up accessing my body and the weird feeling I had, a wetness and new scent oozing from me. Was these the result of the attraction Cody had talked about?We had kissed. The first experience I ever had. I didn't even know what a lip-to-lip meant, until inside the dream."Kaliya?" Lumi's voice echoed through my room and I tightened the knob in the bathroom. What if she could detect that this strange feeling from my body was a result of being tainted?I hurriedly started to take my bath, and after some moment of good scrubing and contented fragrance, I dried up and walked into the room.She sat on my bed, at the exact place I had slept and my heart skipped. "Hello, Sister" she smiled, coming toward me and giving me a hug. "You woke up very late today. I must assume you have gotten a better rest after all this while" I nodded, going to the wardrobe and started to dress. "Would you be wi
Kaliya’s pov——————Okay i wasnt expecting what happened next and to say the least that it shocked me was an understatement.Cody directed my hands that I was soon touching something hard, it only took me a few seconds to realize that was where the male genitalia was located but what i didnt seem to understand was why it was hard and why he was showing it to me.“I know you have questions, so ask away” he said moving my hand up and down, i should not be touching this but yet in my curiosity I gave it a squeeze.“Fuck are you trying to get me to blow in your hands!”“These words and terms you use i do not understand “ I said and he smiled shifting back.“Do you really want to know?” He asked me and I nodded my head, my bow and arrow forgotten as I gave all my attention to him.“I want to know how this is in relation to attraction” I said blatantly and he nodded his head once.“I was getting to that part”“Well out with it” I said and he chuckled, I tilted my head enjoying the sound tha
Cody's Pov_________"And what authority do they have to decide that?" I stormed into the living room angrily. I had received the letter and I had read it, but I was not pleased with what I saw. I threw the paper on Lou who immediately stood up when he saw that I was boiling in rage."Who sent this?" I bellowed at him. "The Dark Lords," he said. "What did they say?" He took the paper and was about to read it when I lit it up in flames. "No one would touch him while I am absent" I decreed. I turned to Clinton who had been lurking around the living room and shot him a deadly glare. "And what should you be doing?"He took up a pen and started to write. Since we were here none of them had performed their royal duty and they seemed to relax around me, having too much fun."Write back to them. No one would touch him while I was absent. How dare they make decisions behind my back."Clinton wrote at the same speed that I spoke while Lou stood taking mental notes. "All preparation for the so
Kaliya’s pov_____________I was disturbed, greatly! Since I had woken up i didnt go back to sleep, i could not go back to sleep I was worried i would find him waiting for me, I really needed a break from Cody, from everything.Lately I’ve been doing too much as well, what was with me touching and speaking to him in public yesterday, what was wrong with me? I got up from the bed and paced my room, still pondering on the reason why I can’t seem to keep Cody away from my head the door to my room bursts open and I see a chipper Lumi and my heart sank, if there was no reason why I should keep Cody out of my head here was one.“How are you” she said in that cheery tone that usually warmed my heart but now all it did to me was pierce it, I am a terrible person!.“Uhh Kaliya?”“Hi, sorry how are you?” I asked pulling her into a hug, if she could hear how hard my heart was beating Im sure she’d be screaming for my father.“Are you sure you’re okay? You’ve been out of it lately” she said and I
