LOGINKallias waited for the attendant at the Royal Council Hall to announce his presence before he walked right in.The ministers were already on their feet as usual and as he walked on, he saw someone rise slowly and he halted when he saw who it was.Maxwell.He was grinning at him and Kallias clenched his hands.He continued walking until he came to the seat at the head and sat down.And the rest also took their seats.Kallias glanced at Maxwell, who was seated at the far end of his left side opposite Ventimus.“Prince Maxwell, you surprise us with your presence.”Maxwell gave him a grin. “I just wanted to attend a royal council meeting for the first time in centuries, Your Majesty.”“It's all about politics and welfare, it's no fun as you think it is,” Kallias said but Maxwell shook his head.“I seek no fun. Politics has become an interest of mine, and I plan to devote myself to it.”“Devote?”Maxwell nodded. “I wanted to bring it up later but I think it would be better with everyone ga
The guards stared at her and Erica shouted again.“She isn't breathing!”Then they rushed to her and gently turned her over.A guard checked her pulse, it was faint.“Is she dead?” Another asked and he shook his head.“What should we do? Should we inform Mistress Miranda?”“No, the mistress is exhausted. Let's just take her to the slave healer and we'll inform her later.”“Please let me go with you,” Erica said to him and he nodded.He lifted Adriana into his arms and Erica ran after him till they got to the healer.The healer led them into a room, and Adriana was laid on the bed with her back facing upward.The healer went out and came back later with some leaves which he handed to Erica.“Take these and grind them until they turn into a paste.”Erica took the leaves and went to do as he instructed.“I'll be going now.” The guard said and the healer nodded.The guard bowed and left.Erica finished grinding the leaves and brought the paste to the healer.The healer went to Adriana and
Miranda limped her way out of the royal quarters. Her legs and back ached badly and she whimpered as she took a step at a time.Prince Maxwell had not been gentle with her, thrusting hard from behind while digging his claws into her back, all this with his head guard present.Miranda felt humiliated and she couldn't wait to get her hands on that wretched slave.She moved cautiously to the slave quarters and a guard ran up to her when she was spotted.“Mistress.” He bowed his head. “We found the slave.”Miranda halted and a shaky smirk crossed her lips.“Where is she?”“In the dungeon.”“Good.” She nodded. “Keep her in there till the next morning when she will be dealt with.”The guard nodded and he helped her to her cabin.The next morning, Miranda felt a little relief from the painful ache between her legs and throughout the rest of her body.She stepped out of the cabin and ordered that Adriana be brought to her.The other slaves in the quarters were already outside and they wondere
In a room as dark as night, Kallias stood in a corner waiting, watching.He didn't know what he was waiting for but he did, excitement flowing in him.His claws crept out and his fur protruded slowly.He continued waiting, his eyes dancing in the dark.Nothing came, and he couldn't see anything but he felt the need to wait.Then he heard a sound of the door opening and closing and he heard footsteps.A scent invaded his nose and his pulse quickened. The scent was like something burning mingling with cinnamon.He loved cinnamon. It was one of his favorite scents.Then he heard a voice screaming but he couldn't detect the words.Then silence.He growled.Then footsteps walked slowly towards him, the scent was getting stronger and he almost purred.Warmth surrounded him, drawing him into its embrace before he felt a body press against him.His pulse jumped and sensations drove through his body.He could feel the presence, the body but he couldn't see the face. He raised his hand and it m
Adriana's hands flew to the hand clamped over her mouth and her heart raced faster.The hand was firm on her mouth till she was dragged away from the back of the stables into a corner she hadn't seen before.The hand dropped from her lips and Mia surfaced.Adriana swirled around baring her fangs and claws ready to attack or defend herself but she stopped when she saw the person.“My Prince?" Adriana whispered hoarsely.“Shhh.” Marcus held a finger up to his lips and he stared behind her.Adriana turned but she didn't see anything and then she heard it.Voices and footsteps are coming their way. Her body stiffened until they walked past and then she turned and faced Marcus.Marcus looked down at her and gave her a light smile.Mia snarled.Calm down Mia, it's Marcus our friend.But Mia still snarled.Marcus watched as she struggled to slip her claws and he stepped forward but Adriana's head snapped up and she bared her fangs at him.She stepped back and shook her head.Mia!“Is your wo
“Prince Maxwell?”“Yes, he is the King's cousin and he wants you in his chamber tonight. Get ready and wait for me under that shed near the quarters’ entrance.” Miranda walked away before Adriana could say anything and Adriana clenched her hands.The other slaves had heard everything and they stared at her.Erica placed her hand on hers but Adriana stared straight ahead at the corner Miranda had taken.“Adriana…” Erica said quietly.Adriana's breath shuddered as she took a deep breath and turned away from them.She knew they all felt pity for her and she couldn't bear to look at them in the face.She entered the slave quarters and sat down on the cold floor.Her mind raced as she thought of what to do.****Maxwell closed his eyes as the warm water bubbled around him, relaxing the tension of the day's travel in his body.Two maids stood behind him, washing his back, and he felt their gentle hands brush against his skin.He would have chosen one to satisfy himself and his beast, but be
The slaves in the quarters stirred as the sun rose on the horizon and activities bustled around them.The door creaked open and the guard from last night came in.“Arise from your slumber and get ready to be assigned to your day's work.”Adriana tapped Erica who was still sleeping beside her and sh
Miranda's eyes darkened as she held Adriana's own.Adriana shifted in her position under the woman's scrutiny, but she didn't avert her eyes.Miranda's hand came up and she touched Adriana's hair, her fingers tightening on it briefly.“Silver hair.” She said to Aaron over her shoulder.Aaron shrugg
“Move,” Simon said to them and Adriana and the rest of the slaves went out of the room. They saw Aaron turning into a corner, and they followed him. They saw three carriages already waiting for them, with two guards beside them.One of them opened a carriage door and Aaron got in. Then, the other
Simon walked to her and looked her up and nodded before speaking.“Follow me.” As soon as Adriana stepped into the gates, they creaked close shutting them in and her pulse jumped sharply.“Walk fast!” Simon hissed and Adriana turned back to follow him.He walked quickly and she tried to catch up w
