~Theo~

A collective gasp rippled through the room. My own breath caught in my throat. I rushed closer, my hands shaking as I reached for Storme. I pressed my fingers to her throat, feeling for the impossible.

And then I felt it. The faintest, most fragile thump beneath my fingertips.

She was alive.

The room erupted into chaos. Karen shrieked in protest. The king’s eyes darkened with an unsatisfied emotion. The guards shifted uneasily, looking to him for orders.

“This is a trick,” Karen spat. “A game. You saw her, Theo! She was dead.”

I barely heard her. My heart was pounding, my mind racing. Storme had been cold. Still. Dead. And now…

Geenie turned to my father. “My king, this is a great omen. She was taken by the spirits, but they have returned her.”

My father’s expression hardened. “Then we must finish what we started.”

My blood ran cold. “What?”

“If she was meant to live, she would not have been declar

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 105: No more playing safe

    ~Karen~ He should have been back by now. My eyes protested for the millionth time as I kept on pacing up and down the room after Theo left. It’s been almost one hour since then and he wasn’t back. Anyone would think that she would send him back, especially after everything the king had done to her. But that girl was far too stubborn for my liking. The sound of heavy footsteps stopped my pacing. I listened, and the footsteps were headed towards Theo’s room. “Finally,” I muttered, smiling slightly. I quickly made my way to the end of the room that was shrouded in darkness, and sat perfectly still, my nightgown draped loosely over my body. I heard the door click, and watched as Theo walked in, his shoulders sagged. He looked tired, and a bit down, more than he had looked before he left. I guess the witch really did push him away, seeing the pitiable state that he came back in. They say the best time to make a move is when a ma

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 104: Slipping away

    ~Theo~Karen was at it again. Trying relentlessly to seduce me. it didn’t help that she had moved some of her things into my room, courtesy of my father’s agreement. These days, I barely had the strength to fight her, especially since the woman whom I was trying to fight for had pushed me aside because of a threat that my father issued.“Theo.”I looked down at her, glancing at that horrendous night wear that barely covered her thighs, watched as she batted her lashes and pressed her body close to mine.“I don’t want to hurt you, Karen. I’m not in the mood for your mindless, inefficient seduction tricks right now.”“Come on, Theo. I’m a woman with needs too, you know,” she purred, her lips trying to trail kisses along my jaw, her voice breathy, “Why can’t you just bring yourself to make love to me? Am I so undesirable that you push me away whenever I come close to you?”The tone of her plea almost made me feel sorry for her. After all, she was just a woman wh

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 103: No blood

    ~Storme~It was time for another session with Geniee. This time, however, to not make it look suspicious, we choose to have this in the daytime. After the king caught me the other night, rumors of me having affair with different men had somehow permeated through the palace. And even though the servants all hush when they see me walking past, there was never a doubt to what they’d been discussing initially.The weather was a bit chilly, so I threw a cute, grey woolen blanket around my shoulders. I might be on my way to becoming a witch, but that will not happen if I catch pneumonia. There’s no saying that my new-found speedy recovery would work with that.I pulled my covering tighter around me as I walked to the hidden, most rarely used part of the palace. It had been two days since the whipping, and even though I could move now, the memories of the injustice that had been done to me couldn’t leave my mind. I don’t think that I’ve wanted to get back at someone as badly as

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 102: The aftermath

    ~Storme~My body ached, heavy and sore, but I could feel the softness of my sheets beneath me. I opened my eyes and blinked slowly, allowing myself to adjust to the light."Storme?" a voice gasped.I turned slightly, and saw Grace hovering over me, her eyes wide with relief. "You're awake! Thank the goddess, you're awake."Her voice trembled as she clutched my hand, tears pooling at the corners of her eyes. I gave her a weak smile. "Grace," I whispered, my throat dry. "Theo... is he okay? Did he... stay?"Grace nodded, brushing strands of hair from my damp forehead. "He stayed until you were stable. He didn’t want to leave, but he didn’t want you to open your eyes and get mad when you see him beside you."A pang of guilt twisted in my chest. I wished he had stayed. I wished I could have seen his face one last time before sleep pulled me under. But I knew he couldn't. Not with everything happening between us.I tried to push myself up, but a sharp tug of

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 101: The clash

    ~Storme~My day has practically become bleak ever since the incident with Theo. the hurt that flashed in his eyes before he left still lingered in my head. the more I thought about this now, the more I realized that staying away from him wouldn’t be as easy as I thought it would.I sat cross-legged on the floor, the old grimoire Geniee had given me lying open on my lap. Three candles, evenly spaced in a triangle, flickered in front of me. She’d always told me that heightened emotions make spells work easier and better. Maybe I could just use this frustration piling inside me to practice.My hands hovered over the candles, my fingers tingling with anticipation. I took a breath, closed my eyes, and whispered, “Aera luminae, rise.”Slowly, I cracked an eye open to see if it had worked. But there was nothing. I tried again, this time slower, and more focused. “Aera luminae, rise.”The candle swayed a little bit, then moved as if it was about to levitate before dropping back down."Come on

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 100: Big problem

    ~Theo~Nothing has ever confused me as much as Storme did. One moment, she’s all in my arms, wanting to give and take as much as she can, and the next minute, she’s threatening to accuse me of rape if I don’t leave her alone. That was the most undaunting thing I’ve ever experienced.I threw another knife onto a darting board held up by one of the servants who was practically shivering and shitting in his pants. The last time that I’d done something like this was when I realized that something had happened to my mother, and she was nowhere to be found. But throwing knives at the board helped alleviate my stress.I understand that my father might have given her some threats, but letting me feel her body and then turning around to accuse me of such a thing was too much. Why didn’t she trust me enough to tell me exactly what my father had told her? Does she think that I’m incapable of doing anything to salvage the situation?I sent another knife flying into the air. It landed at the end o
