“Sir Eldran… I hope you are not harassing the young woman,” Liam’s deep imposing voice came, Eldran moved back and Layana closed her eyes relieved. “I was just a little concerned why she was all covered up in this heat, does she have something to hide?” “She is not an entertainment piece… she can wear what she wants,” Liam said curtly, turning his gaze on Layana who had her head down. He frowned slightly, something about this girl wasn’t normal, but he didn’t know what it was… “Come with me, Anna,” Layana bowed her head and walked over to the man swiftly, he gave Eldran a final scalding look and led her into one of the buildings, it took Layana a moment to peer out and realise she was in some sort of barracks. Liam led her through a side door and closed it after her and motioned her to take a seat, they were in what looked like a small office with many books lying around, a quick glance at one or two showed her they were spell books. Layana sat down slipping her hood back ever
Night had fallen, the air was oddly chilly as a bitter cold wind swept past them. Even the animals of the night were oddly silent as if taking shelter from the sudden coldness that had settled around them. “Something isn't right…” Kayden murmured, their horses were moving at a trot, the fields were vast and empty. “I agree,” Aren said looking around, it was too cold for a summer night, and it had come upon them suddenly “Stay close, let's speed up,” Kayden said, Layana nodded as they all urged their horses into a brisk walk. The lower parts of her legs that were exposed felt numb from the growing cold. Only a few minutes had passed, when she felt the hair at the back of her neck rise, making her tense in her saddle. The creepy feeling of being watched hitting her strongly. She glanced around, her eyes sharpening as she observed the darkness. “What is it Layana?” Aren asked, after being asked several times by her to stop addressing her formally, he had dropped the princess. She di
Its body lurched towards her so fast it was a blur, she raised her shield as Aren shouted “Layana! That’s a Crawler!” Kayden looked at him, his eyes shocked, those were beasts that were said to roam the forbidden lands - however, he had never ever seen one in person. “We’ll handle the crawler, Layana you focus on the riders,” he said furtively, right now their best chance was for them to focus on the Crawler. Layana nodded as Aren spun his sword, “Now this is something I can add to my ever-growing heroic quests,” Aren said loudly, Layana smiled although her gaze was fixed on the riders. “Well at least someone's enjoying this!” she called back “Make sure it doesn't get its pincers in you!” Aren shouted. The glow of Kayden’s power, the flash of Aren’s sword and the Crawler’s violent attacks was all that could be seen and heard for a few moments. Layana closed her eyes, taking a deep breath readying herself to face the riders. Focusing all her emotions towards destroying them, h
They parted when Layana needed air, her cheeks flushed, her lips sore from the passionate kissing. Declan smirked “I may just be the death of you… because I don’t ever want to part from these gorgeous lips of yours,” he said taking hold of her chin and rubbing his thumb along her bottom lip, “I wouldn’t mind dying in your embrace,” she whispered, they leaned closer about to kiss once again, when Aren cleared his throat, “Ok you two love birds, as much as I’m loving the display of affection, remember we’re all tired, hungry, and there’s a lot we need to discuss…” He said his eyes serious. Declan frowned giving a curt nod. After all, he too wanted to know what bought them here. ------------- A short while later they were sitting in an office, in Declan’s quarters. The three had filled him in on exactly what had occurred at the palace, the hostility between Declan and Kayden was strong, both often dropping remarks towards each other. Declan now sighed deeply, the weight of the sit
The moment the door shut behind them, Declan pushed Layana up against the door making her gasp at the sudden force, his lips crashed against hers in a rough hungry kiss, his one hand running up her thigh, slipping under her dress and grabbing her peachy behind. His other hand fondled her breast, there was something different about his touch compared to their first time. she gasped when he sucked on her neck hard, making her moan a sting of pain mixed with the pleasure she felt. Her own hands were tugging at his tunic wanting to feel his skin against her. “I missed you, Angel,” he whispered kissing her lips once more before he helped her get rid of his tunic. She bit her lip, her breasts heaving at the sight of her handsome fiancé before her. Her eyes dipping to his refined V and the large bulge in his pants. her own pussy throbbing in anticipation of what was to come. “I missed you too my love,” she whispered “and everything about you…” A sexy smirk crossed his lips, “I’m sure y
It took Declan two days and nights to put a plan in place, assigning Elian of house Halan his previous commander to take his stead. Declan sent a message to the king knowing by the time he got it, they would be far from here. Elian did not know exactly where he was going but he trusted the young knight and promised to hold up his work and continue it. The four had set out a plan of their own, starting off was to try to track down Catherina the seer, they were also going to try to find Layana’s mother, who Declan believed may have some answers to everything that was happening in Ehlesaar. Layana had not told him about James, but she knew she was going to have to at some point, but she did not have the courage to, not yet anyway. Each night Layana slept with Declan, and after three nights she could not even imagine sleep without him by her side, although they slept less and spent their time in the throes of passion, exploring each other in ways they would never tire of. They had set
It took Layana a few seconds to realise what was happening, her eyes widened as she pushed him away, her eyes flashing as she raised her hand and slapped him across the face. Hard. “How dare you!” she said her voice breaking, her eyes stinging, she wiped her lips making Kayden feel a pang of hurt at the gesture, was he so bad? “I’m sorry… I… I don’t know what overcame me,” he said looking away, a frown on his face, he didn’t regret it… even if he apologised to her, he had liked that kiss, her lips were softer than he had imagined, she tasted sweet and tempting like something you never wanted to stop tasting… but the tears in her eyes stung. “Declan was right… I shouldn’t have followed you,” she whispered, hurt clear in her voice, she turned and walked away, Kayden sighed running a hand through his hair. He had messed things up… -------- Layana walked back to the clearing where Declan had just washed his face in the stream, he was shirtless, his tattoo of a phoenix glimmering bri
Several nights had passed and the mood of the group travelling had become more sombre. The warmth of summer that they had disliked had depleted, leaving shadow cast mornings accompanied by dull weather daily. The biting darkness was laced in the air, something each could now feel, coming to a point they needed to use all their willpower not to let it consume them completely. Only Layana didn’t seem affected by the anger that was swirling around the men, however, she felt more worried with each passing day wondering how her family were in the palace. Was everyone safe? Although she didn’t talk much to Kayden, not forgiving him for what he had done, she stayed neutral with him for the sake of the mission and inside she knew something was bringing out the worst in them. What worried her was Declan’s darkness was strongest, it was not like The Dark Lords but something dangerous and full of anger. She was getting better with each passing day with training, and she continued to put her
