Slowly, Ryker started coming to awareness. The darkness of the night has disappeared from the bedroom, replaced by the light of the day.

He'd slept through the night and he'd slept without nightmares. Again.

His eyes found Lyra who slept beside him, his forehead ceased on a frown. It is her.

It's not a medicine Bami might have made, or Scarlett's sexual techniques or writing scrolls until he's at the point of exhaustion. It is her. It is Lyra.

Ryker doesn't know how that is possible, but h

  • Bound as the Alpha king's Slave    Royalty and Lowborn

    As Lyra took Veroni and Emily out of the palace, the people resumed looking at them in that strange uncomprehending way. Emily skidded her way in front of them, smiling happily and greeting everyone. They returned her greeting with the same enthusiastic. Lyra was holding Veroni's hand, the girl pressed close to her, so afraid of the crowd of people they passed. After staying indoors for so long, she isn't used to them at all, especially they way they look at her. They just cut through another route when a small child suddenly ran headfirst into Lyra. The child pulled back and looked up at Lyra. He looks like a seven-year old and he was dirty from hair to toe, from playing too much. From his tattered clothes, Lyra knows that she's the child of a lowborn. She stared at the spot where the child bumped into her and he saw the dirt on her white gown. "I'm so sorry...! So sorry...!" The boy bowed repeatedly, obviously scared that he'll be punished. She recognized the mothe

  • Bound as the Alpha king's Slave    Looking Forward

    Lyra turned to her, seeing the helpless look on her eyes. "I don't want to stay away from you. I don't want to. They will force me too..." She continued. Lyra placed a hand on her shoulder, "All slaves, maids and servants are under Madam Bami and she already knows that you're here. If the king finds out..." she bit her lips, "....we'll cross that bridge later." Emily nodded her head. "Alright, my princess." her lips stretched in a smile, "We live in the moment. No point thinking about tomorrow, right!?" Lyra nodded with a smile. "Exactly. How was your day at the market?" Emily flushed a little and ducked her head. Lyra's brows rose in question. "Emily?" "Sire Vane saw me on the way and he escorted me. He walked me to the market, and even as I picked out my cottons, he just stood there patiently and waited for me." She told her princess shyly, her face glowing. Lyra's eyes widened. She tried to reconcile the image of the stoic, cool personal guard of the king that doesn

  • Bound as the Alpha king's Slave    A Forbidden Kind of Comfort

    As the king slept in her arms, Lyra stood there, still patting his head. She wouldn’t mind standing there for hours if it’ll make him sleep well. He is a man that never sleeps. Time dragged by, his laboured breaths filled the air. His arms around her loosened, but never fell away. His hair was so soft, she just wanted to keep running her hands on it. She didn’t know she started humming until a new soft sound joined his breathing in the air. She wished there was a way to erase the past fifteen years of his life. Of all their lives. But then again, wishes has never been horses, or beggars would have rode it too. Suddenly, the door burst open and Mistress Scarlett walked into the King’s Chambers. She stopped suddenly at the sight in front of her, her lips gapping apart in shock. Lyra lowered her head in a bow of greeting, but she didn’t stop patting the King’s hair or humming to him. Scarlett couldn’t believe the sight in front of her. The king has his arm wrapped loosely a

  • Bound as the Alpha king's Slave    king Valen's daughter

    It made me wonder, how Lyra....the only daughter of King Valen....is able to reach into that girls tormented heart and soothe it? King Ryker added,"is it possible that a devil can birth an angel? Or he birthed a devil who's pretending to be an angel?" Lyra's heart squeezed so tight in her chest that for a moment, it was very hard for her to breathe. She wasn't supposed to feel pain at his statement, but pain is all she breathed. He has no reason to trust her, an her father made sure to solidify his hate for her, and so she doesn't blame him that he would think she so capable of such atrocity. Doesn't make it hurt less. She raised her eyes from the floor and met his, " I don't live a life of pretence,master. I-I only live . I have no mapped out way Living the future, I find myself in the status of being a slave because of the monster my father is, and I'm trying to survive. But I live like Lyra "Not like King Valen's daughter." At her softly spoken words, he still watched h

  • Bound as the Alpha king's Slave    The Birth of Veroni

    "She did. She gave birth to Veroni two months before we were taken into captivity. It was hard for her... for all of us. She helped me survived during those few months. I don't think King Valen wanted me to survive them, he fed me once in five days." Lyra gasped in horror. She couldn't imagine that. How was he able to survive those times? He must have seen the unasked question in her head and answered, "Bami would request for milk to feed her new born baby and the guards will provide it for her. They'll keep guard while she fed little Veroni. Afterwards, she'll request to see me in the isolated cold cage King Valen locked me in." His eyes was far away. "The guards check the few visitors that enters to make sure they don't carry anything like food or weapons for escape." His lips curved to a side, "But then, they keep forgetting that Bami is a breastfeeding mother." Her eyes widened, "She...." He nodded. "She breastfed me for three good months." "Oh Creator...."

This time around she doesn't know if it's the punishment for the way she put her hands on him in court or it's the punishment for the name Veroni is addressing her as.When they cut through another hallway, she noticed that his steps got slower, his breathing a little out of the normal like he ran a mile.His leg! She knows this instantly, her gaze lowing to trail on his right leg from behind.He seems to be in a great deal of pain and he needs a body to lean on to relief t

    "Someone wants to see you, Your Highness," Vane announced, coming into Ryker’s room. He was tying up the Imperial letters he's finished writing. He looked up to Vane, "Who is it?" Vane shifted uncomfortably, "She refused to leave. We've tried everything possible to get the girl to go but she re
