His Forbidden Mate 16: Closure
I pushed open the door to my house and stepped in. With the last of my strength, I moved into my chambers. The full moon was tonight. It was no longer news. However, with the event that took place today, I had lost control of my emotions and that meant it would be a broken shift for me. How can I control my emotions when I’ve lost the very thing I care for in the entire world after doing everything I could to keep it? The prince lied to me. He tricked me with his clause and little exception in the agreement. Yes, before he stepped into my parlour, I knew a thing or two about him. I heard how he was a man of honour and principle and how he would make a better king over his brother. I heard about how he sorted peace and fairness throughout the kingdom. So when he proposed a reasonable partnership that would mutually benefit both of us, despite hating the additional clause, I accepted it. He said I broke the agreement, but I had reasons and they were genuine ones. He didn’t want to li

TRIGGER WARNING: Scenes of Rape and assault in this chapter!The roar of laughter of the men gathered together, talking and drinking filled my ears up. I placed the steel tray on the wooden table in their midst, as instructed by Luna Tyra. My hand quaked uncontrollably, even though this task seemed like a simple task. I knew that even the simplest task could go sour at any moment. I prepared for the worse while hoping to do the one thing expected of me and leave.I placed each cup before the six men seated around the table and I was about to drop the cup before beta Pascal and he caught my hand. My strength failed me, and my legs grew weak, but I knew I had to stay calm and not panic. His grip felt too tight, but I remained calm and the men seated around the table continued their discussion as if I wasn’t around or being held captive by Pascal.“You are a woman now, little omega,” he smirked mischievously as he sang his rough hands on my legs into the old black robe I had on to feel my
His Forbidden Mate 18: Responsibilities of a mate
The sixth days of the week were the weekly gathering for prayers at the temple and Rue, having held on to her religious ways since I met her, has always attended the prayers. I didn’t because I didn’t think I belonged there or saw the point in it. I didn’t stop Rue; it was what she loved, and I didn’t talk her out of it. As often as I could, I helped made her up and got her ready every week. “You could come with me to the temple,” Rue suggested as I helped tighten the rope around her pretty red dress. I frowned. “Why would I want to go to the temple? The moon goddess has a favourite, and I’m not one of them.” I finished and stepped back to admire the little touches I added to the dress. “I know little, but the moon goddess loves all her children equally,” she spoke with much faith in what she was saying. “Come with me. You never know, you might find the ‘one’, Kailani.” I rolled my eyes. For a moment while with the prince, I wondered what it would be like to be his mate. Stupid, I
His Forbidden Mate 19: Trouble never leaves
I stepped into the dining area after another long day of being out and I see Rue already setting the table up for dinner. “Romeo said you weren’t at the parlour today, so where were you?”Rue asked, placing the stainless plate down on the table beside the jar of water.I was paying a visit to a victim. I no longer worked at the parlour. That ended over a month ago, but I still did private consulting for victims at the parlour who missed and wanted to spend time with me. They would write to me, requesting some alone time and include their pay in the letter. It was a generous amount, and I accepted.Last week I received a letter from a victim who was a Lord. He heard about the parlour’s services through discrete channels and sent words, requesting time. He had specifically desired a home service, and he promised to double whatever my usual pay was. I was sceptical. Unlike the others I’d done this for, he was new and I had to consider what that might mean. After a few investigations, I fo
His Forbidden Mate 20: Sacrifice
My breath grew rigid in my throat, realising who stood in the dining room with the Lanes.“You’re not Sir Valerio.” I immediately blurted out in an accusing voice, and this made the rest turn to me with a confused gaze.I had never met Sir Valerio in person, but I was certain he would be much older, greyer, and less annoying.“He’s not,” Oliver’s mother named Scarlett spoke up, coming into his defence, “My husband is on a royal assignment to the east and couldn’t make it here today despite wanting to. The prince stepped in for him and it was a noble thing to do.”How noble of him.My eyes moved back from Scarlett to Edward, who has since not taken his eyes from me. Of all the people I could have run into, it had to be him.I haven’t seen him since the heated last dispute we had and honestly; I wasn’t looking forward to it. I never wanted to see him again, but fate had its sick way of bringing the worse dreams to pass.“Do you two know each other?” Scarlett asked, her gaze darting betwe
His Forbidden Mate 21: Happiness
Scarlett placed her cutleries on the now empty plate and picked up the serviettes to wipe at her mouth before speaking, “So Oliver, as I’ve said, has told us a lot about you, but I’d like to hear you tell us a little about yourself.”Rue placed her hands on her lap and cleared her throat, an act she only did when she felt scared. “My name is Rue Zaine. I was born eighteen summers ago. I love to read and draw and I work at the North rich library for the last two years now.”“You do like your job at the library?”She giggled and nodded. “I’m the treasurer and book collector there. Since I’m good with numbers and love to read, Ani believed that would be the best place for me. I follow whatever she tells me.”“And what do you do, Kailani? I hear you’re quite successful and have made a substantial living condition for yourself,” Edward asked, turning his gaze to me. I wasn’t in the discussion, but since the prince was as evil as they came, I knew he’d find his way to drag me in.I had my l
His Forbidden Mate 22: The offer
I tried to leave, but he caught me by the wrist and I looked up, locking my gaze on his. Whatever he saw made him let go, and I walked away, finding my way back to the dining room.I returned to the table first, feeling much better and in control than before of myself. Edward returned a few seconds later and Rue’s eyes darted between us, her lips puzzled and her eyes dimmed.It wasn’t what she was thinking, but I let it be.“Lady Kailani, do you see yourself finding a mate and maybe someday settling down and siring offsprings?” Scarlett asked and turned the attention of those seated over to me.And here I was, thinking only the prince could make me uncomfortable at this table.When I was younger, I wanted an escape, someone who would come and save me from all my misery. I wanted that person to be the man of my dreams to sweep me off my feet with charming gestures, shift with me and strengthen me during the full moon and make me feel better about myself. We would marry and sire a handfu
His Forbidden Mate 23: Rebellion and truth
Weeks later,I came back to the parlour working here as a partner and supervising, just as I agreed with Edward. It was a mutual understanding to keep the partnership a secret. The reason was that the time I spent away from the parlour taught me I had much to give. I wasn’t nothing without the parlour and if the place could stand on its own without me, I’d happily move on. The prince agreed to the proposal, and we had related on the affairs of the parlour but only in our private meeting chamber.I disclosed my reinstatement as a partner to only Jane on the first day of my return and she was happier than I had ever seen. She told me the parlour needed my touch, but I told her I’d take a step back and watch from the side. She told me she had no problems with that plan as long as I was here. I’ve done the side observations for the past three weeks and it’s been great so far.I moved from the counter at the chambers to the mild room where the new victims usually stayed and then I noticed C
