Chapter 7ZACCHEUSThere was a knock at the other side of the door; the King mumbled out, "enter!" for his beta to enter the room."Aww," the beta scrunched his nose dramatically while the King grinned widely."What do you want?" the King asked, staring at his mate in adoration."The witches are still waiting. You kept them waiting," Zeke reminded his King softly."I'm coming," he replied."Have you told her?" the beta asked inquisitively while the King nodded softly."She's a blessing," the King said tenderly, "she's the light to my darkened soul.""Yeah, I agree." the beta nodded in affirmation.As the beta walked out, the King tucked his mate under the duvet not before pecking her lightly on her cheek. He grinned widely.He strode out of the room, putting on his cold facade. He couldn't believe he had a mate. His jaw twitched because the witches interrupted his precious time with his mate.He'd brought his mate to orgasm, smiled at her flushed face, and she was screaming his name i
Chapter 8NADAZHDAI opened the door gently and tiptoed outside. I was damn hungry. I didn't want to wake those damn sensitive supranational because I'd learned they had heightened hearing and nose.Where is the way to the kitchen? I thought, then groaned when I realized I didn't know anywhere in this enormous mansion. As I turned to go back to my room, I collided with a strong wall. I meant a freaking soft yet hard wall, but there wasn't any wall here when I was going. I raised my head dumbfounded and saw half-naked Zaccheus smirking at me while I squealed, covering my face.My face would have been crimson red. I peeked through my fingers and stared at his well-divined abs. I shivered in delight, but when I returned my gaze to him, he was smirking knowingly that I was checking him out.Holy Mother of Santa!I was embarrassed."It's okay; you can check as you want," he smiled softly at me, 'it is all yours." I grinned like a fool back at him."What are you doing?" he asked, looking in
Chapter 9AZEBU REALMZECCHEUSHe breathed softly, trying to catch his breath. His beasts were growling, demanding him to mark her. The bite was meant for her to be claimed, but he could control himself. He didn't want to scare her; she hadn't known more about his world, and it was a sacred thing in his world.He lost control of himself; he couldn't look at her. He was ashamed of himself.He felt a soft hand raising his head, looking at him with understanding."It's Okay," his mate said softly."It's not okay. " he shook his head; he was ashamed of himself, "it was meant for you," he stated disgustingly."You don't mean it, right?" she questioned gently, pecking him at his jaw.He moved away from her; he was still aroused, and her pecking him was making it worst.I need to get away from here before I do something I will regret, and she would hate me forever, he thought bitterly."I'mtravelingg tomorrow." he blurted out. He needed to get away from her because it wasn't easy to be with
Chapter 10This chapter has some violence and rape attempts.Nadazhda was visibly scared, but her heart told her, 'he would never hurt me. She looked at the gnashed mark on his chest, but it had already healed. Only the blood stain on him could make her realise it wasn't an illusion.Was the bite meant for me? She thought and shuddered in fear and yet ecstasy.She noticed him breathing softly, trying to catch his breath while a growling vibration was coming from him.His eyes filled with disgust, ashamed of what happened. He didn't look at her. He was looking at the ground. The surrounding air was tense, and something was tugging her in her chest to do something.Nadazhda touched his chest softly, making him raise his head; she looked at him with understanding. He didn't need to loathe himself. She liked it, and she was the one who took the initiative."It's Ok," she said softly."It's not okay!" he shook his head in denial; he was ashamed of himself, "it was meant for you," he stated
Chapter 11Zaccheus's chest was pounding, and he felt a wave of anguish that wasn't his washing over him as he climbed the stairs to his mate's room. He entered to meet her but found her faint scent in the room as if she wasn't there for some days. He went to his room and found nothing too. His senses weren't very clear at the moment because his mate was his priority.His beasts were urging him to let them take control, but he knew his beasts would damage everything.He gave in to his hearing and smelling sense and inhaled his mate's scent, which was coated with unfathomable fear."Mate hurt," Ryk whined softly."If anything happens to my little Joy, I will destroy the world," Ryk, the most relaxed and calm out of the beasts, cynically said while the others nodded in agreement. Ryk was the cruellest out of the beasts. He hardly reacted, but when he did...The scent led him to the underground dungeon where the higher criminals were kept. The temperature of the jail was cold, which made
MENTION OF RAPE. IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE, PLEASE DO SKIP. Every uncomfortable word will be asterisked because of the non-consensual stuff.~**~Nadazhda met herself at her father's house, the house which had some good and bad memories she wanted to forget and keep."Nadazhda!" she heard her father's angry voice calling her from the sitting room. Nadazhda left her paint and rushed to him.Her little self (fifteen) always wished her father would change someday. He would be her loving father and would be her best friend again. He just lost himself to the darkness of love."Yes, pa...," Nadazhda swallowed what she wanted to say next because he didn't want her to call him her father. He said he hated it and he wasn't her father. He was just a sperm donor, but whatever happened, he would always be her best friend and papa."Nadazhda," he called softly, looking at her with sadness."Yeees," she stuttered."Do you want to call me papa?" Nadazhda nodded eagerly, feeling bubbles of happiness d
Chapter 13Zaccheus ran through the stairs at lightning speed, not without ordering Zeke to continue with the torturing.As he reached the room, Avivit and the maids bowed respectively to him.He didn't glance at them; his main priority was his mate, thrashing on the bed. He ran to her and clutched her closer to calm her. He tried to peek into her nightmare, but it was impossible. All that he saw was darkness.He was disturbed because he had the power to read minds and emotions, but with his mate, it was impossible."No, please." he heard her cry; he was powerless to do a thing, making his chest crumble in pain."What can I do to make it stop?" Ryl mumbled."She has her own demons; they are fighting her," Ryl presumed with a sad face."She must have passed through a lot," Ryn said slowly."She is strong, and she would be a great Luna." The King butted into his beast's exchange to reassure them.When he detected her body temperature was increasing, he carried her to the bathroom. He on
Chapter 14ZacchaeusWhen his mate opened her eyes earlier, he was extremely happy until his eyes settled down on the bruise around her neck. He felt like he had been punched in his gut.He failed to protect her.Did the guards strangle her? he thought worriedly before thinking of the pain he would inflict on them, and he smiled sinisterly.But every other thought went out of him when his mate screamed in anguish. Ryl whimpered, wanting to comfort his mate. "shhh, baby you are safe." he said in a soft voice that he didn't think he had.He watched her as she touched her injured forehead and neck before screaming again, looking delusional."It was just a dream," he heard her repeatedly mutter like a mantra."What happened?" he asked her confusedly because he didn't understand what she was going through."I don't understand!" she yelled at him, running toward the mirror before slapping it concerningly. "I dreamt about being strangled, but...," she stuttered, panicked, her eyes darting ar
