MONICA.

“I’m so sorry. You shouldn’t have seen any of that.”

Roman’s apologies fill the air. I can tell he feels genuinely bad. We’ve been sitting in his car for a while now, still at the venue, because none of us are allowed to leave until the horde of police officers are done with whatever they’re doing.

The red and blue lights are flashing on his anguished face. “I don’t know what the hell happened. All I know is that I should have stopped you from seeing it. I know he’s your therapist and you had a good relationship—”

“I wouldn’t call it that,” I interject. The first time I spoke since I saw the body. The image would be burned in my mind forever. Roman is looking at me in puzzlement and I add, “We had a good professional relationship until recently. He tried to… mix business with pleasure. If that makes sense.”

“Fuck.” His face goes slack. “I’m so fucking sorry, Monica.”

“It’s fine.” The laugh that leaves my lips is silent and unhinged. “Obviously it’s not, but… he’s dead now.”

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   Fifty-Four

    ROMAN.I’m happily drowning in Monica.Her slick pussy is just inches away from my lips, and I’m just lost in her. Her scent, her taste that I remember so well. I almost want to lean in to meet her halfway. But knowing that she could back off and freak out any moment just made me want to stay still and get her comfortable enough to ride my face.Monica bites her lip. “Guide me.”The vulnerability in her voice makes me snap, crossing the line from gentle to assertive. Possibly rough. But I can still see the effects of what I did to her in the bathhouse and that’s enough for me to reel it all back in. Still, I keep my grip on her reasonably firm as I grip her ass and pull her forward until her pussy is directly on my mouth.A sequel escapes her lips in surprise. Her body stiffens, and I can tell that she wants to stop and say something, but I just part her pussy lips with my mouth and trace my tongue around her clit. I drag it around, looking up at her. She’s watching me, her eyebrows s

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   Fifty-Three

    MONICA.I stare at Roman, considering a lie. It’s on the edge of my lips too. But he stops me by saying, “You’re still being watched. All the more now that you’re here. You thin I’m going to relax after you managed to get out of your room twice?”“I just needed to go,” I whisper.“Needed,” he notes. “Now you don’t want to go.”I swallow hard. Why does that have some truth in it? Ever since I got here, all I thought about was getting out. But since last night, I haven’t given it a single thought.Taking a deep breath, I finally give up on the lie and just meet Roman’s cold gray eyes. “How did you know about Hyden?” I gulp down my nerves. “Do you know what he said?”“Padma talks to August, and August talks to me.” He shrugs. “I don’t need to know. It’s what happened last night, from the attack. The poison in my body.”“I’m so sorry,” I blurt out, swallowing another mouthful of wine. “I didn’t know that I wasn’t allowed to talk to him….”Roman doesn’t speak for a while. He’s angry, I can

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   Fifty-Two

    MONICA.My nerves are killing me.I stare at myself in the mirror, wondering if I look ridiculous with my red silk nightgown with a matching robe. There’s probably nothing else for us to do there but sleep, and yet Padma has put some makeup on me.Would Roman think that I’m trying to make a move on him?I shake my head, trying to step away from the mirror. Yet I find myself unable to. It’s as though I’m waiting for my appearance to change. I don’t even know what I want it to change into.At last, Padma seems to notice. “Lady Monica? Are you alright?”“Yeah,” I say absently, biting my lip as I finally peel my eyes off my reflection. “Should we head out now?”“Yes,” she says. “The King should be back to his chambers now. He’s been released a couple of hours ago. I think I told you this?”She did. But somehow I forgot about that tiny piece of important information. In other words, I’m losing my goddamn mind.“You know, we can always delay. I can tell them that you’re not ready for that y

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   Fifty-One

    MONICA.Panic, as thick and persistent as a pillar of smoke, fills the air. As though the blood isn’t confirmation enough that something is going incredibly wrong, Janus’s face also goes deathly pale seeing Roman that way.“August!” Janus screams, and instantly the whole wing comes alive.August rushes inside, muttering to himself while fiddling with the tubes and electrodes attached to Roman.I feel useless. So many things are happening around me, and here I am just watching it all happen.“Tell me what I need to do,” I tell August.“His foot,” he pants. “Take it off the elevation pillow. I thought leaving it there with the antidote in him would hasten the effect, but I guess it traveled to his bloodstream faster.”Nodding, I go on to take Roman’s foot off the angled pillow. But as soon as my hands make contact with his bare, blackened skin, something strange happens.A blackout sweeps over me, but this time, it’s different. It’a more intense.The pain in my head feels like it’s goi

    MONICA.The next events are a blur. It feels like I got transported out of my body and now I'm just going through the motions.The soldier is quick. He leads Padma and I to a different wing in the palace, this one lined with so many guards that it looks like a procession. I'm only half aware of things now, and the only time I become aware of Corrin's presence is when he speaks."I knew it!" he hisses, jabbing a finger in my direction. "She's a bad omen, a sign of misfortune! Since she showed up, more and more attacks have been happening! She shouldn't be allowed near the King!”"Elder, please, that's not helping the situation at all," Padma tries to tell him.But Corrin is stubborn. He tries to push past me to get to the room with double doors first, but someone stops him.It's August."Please, Monica needs to see Roman," he says. "Roman would want her around.”"But this is all her fault!" Corrin insists.August just ignores him, taking my hand and pulling me inside the room. I can he

    MONICA.“You’re very quiet today,” Padma observes as she runs a golden comb through my hair. “Did the King say something bad to you last night?”I open my mouth to answer, but I close it again. Sabine is over there fixing my clothes after my bath, and I’m just not sure she would be able to handle what I could tell Padma. Besides, I’m not sure if this kind of talk is allowed among them.“We did talk about things,” I just say. “I’m just not sure if it’s okay to share them.”“And that’s fine,” Padma assures me, smiling. “We don’t need to know.” A little giggle escapes her lips. “So… how is he as a lover?”“Padma!” Sabine hisses. “You’re talking to the future Luna Queen, not some other maid in the quarters!”Padma’s face goes red with embarrassment. “I only meant, you know, how he is as someone who’s in love with our Luna.”I put a hand on hers. “It’s fine. I understand what you mean. There’s nothing bad to discuss over here. Roman has been extremely… generous to me. He’s been nice and ge
