< Serena >
On cue, the crowd parted, giving me a clear path as I walked towards Blondie, the first person I wanted to converse. Behind me, I could feel the eyes of the women; could feel the tension among those who still saw me as competition and admiration to those who saw me as their savior.
But to be honest, I didn't have a strategy yet, one that would successfully take a quarter of these women out from Lord Hale's possession. Maybe I was giving them false hope since basically, I'd be doomed too two days from now, but it was better than sulking and submitting to this precarious fate.
Blondie smiled at me when I reached her. I smiled back and extended my hand.
"We haven't been properly introduced yet. I'm Serena McAllister," I stated, waiting for her to reply.
She took my hand and shook it. "Rhea Thompson. I'm glad to see you here."
"So do I," I expresse
< Aero >Hale couldn't be more predictable. He stayed hidden in the shadows as if I couldn't sense where he was, but I did. Clearly, I could see him leaning against a column in the second floor, just near the grand stairs, looking down at me in that sickening vampire red eyes.He was condemning my attitude, huh. Like I cared pleasantries."Would you rather I bring my army instead?" I threatened, my voice cool and composed but filled with a promise of disaster. "I could smell my wife's blood on you. What have you done to her?"Again, my wolf clawed inside me, trying to surface and control our conversation. It was feeling restless at the smell of her against his skin. It didn't like it. My lycan side didn't like it. And as crazy as it sounded, I didn't like it.Just what the fuck had he done to her?With utter difficulty, I kept my wolf in a tight leash. It
< Aero >For the first time ever, I was glad the healers in my kingdom were mostly female. Three of the best lined up to meet me in my throne room when I summoned for them. They were nervous inside. I could easily sense it as I gave them a careful once-over."You will be taking care of the queen. She is sick. I want to know everything about her status, her prognosis and the medications she will take."By the mention of the queen, their eyes somehow lit up. They looked at each other and nodded subtly before one curly-haired healer said, "It is an honor for us to heal the queen, Your Majesty. We will do our best.""William, take them to my chamber," I ordered, looking at my beta who was dressed in his official royal uniform of emerald green and gold. As my first cousin on the father's side, he was the best man for the position. Plus, he was skilled in combat and politics. Like Elijah, he wa
< Aero >After spending the entire night in my manor unsuccessfully fending off thoughts of the woman, I went back to the castle ready to bark orders and chew some bones—bones of whoever was unfortunately within my path of rage.Surprisingly, the first person to greet me in the throne room was the crown prince who had since been missing in action yesterday night. I had expected Elijah to pester me in the manor, maybe to admonish me for leaving the woman with the healers, but he actually didn't come.It was a welcomed change, but I couldn't also deny I had a moment of worry. I left him in the vampire realm after all and there was always a possibility he wasn't able to travel back home and doomed himself there.I was glad he was back in the flesh and reporting to me."I expected you to return early. What's the reason for the delay?" I asked, unable to hold on to my curiosit
< Serena >Darkness was everywhere no matter where I look. Standing in a transparent floor, I couldn’t exactly tell where I was or if this place was even real. I was hyperaware of my body and surroundings though. I could feel my crazy-ass headache. I could feel the coldness of something...a hand holding mine and I could hear the sound of embers crackling somewhere in the distance.“It’s faint still because of Manross’ incense, but it’s there,” I heard a familiar voice say. Recognition dawned on me instantly. Yes, that’s right. It was from the dark lord himself, so I decided to listen further.“The taste of your blood is there and it is sweetly divine, my human queen.”Inside my darkened world, I gasped. He already found out I was human! How? Did he bite me?!“How did Aero find you?” he continued. I sensed the undeniable curiosity filling his voice. “What possib
< Serena >Garbed in a long dress I had no recollection of wearing, my feminine figure was pressed up perfectly against a lean, muscular shape that was the king. He was a big man sure, but with all things considered, the right parts met in order; like how my lips were near his, how my torso lined up well with his, and most especially, how his cock reached my inner thigh, fitting itself there like it wanted to play house.How big and how hard he was I just couldn’t describe. I wanted to justify the situation and reasoned to myself, hey, this was just a normal male reaction near the presence of a woman. However, judging from the REM action of his eyes, I had no doubt he was in a deep sleep and had no idea he was embracing me, or even trespassing my side of the bed for that matter.But his cock continued to twitch and undeniably, I was beginning to feel it poking my folds. Despite my best efforts, I was begi
< Aero >Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.It seemed that the decision to sleep beside her was wrong. Fuck.I didn’t need to ask her what happened to us exactly. I didn’t need to know at all. The mess we were in was enough to fill me with...displeasure. I didn’t need to know who started embracing who—although I had the fucking feeling it was I who initiated it—shit. What I just needed to do was to extricate myself out of the bed, to be far away from her as possible and do it with fucking dignity.I couldn’t ignore our situation nor could I ignore the fact that I just spilled my cum right on her front. Agreed, this was an embarrassing thing to happen even for my standards and I just couldn’t believe this woman had it all registered in her brain.Seeing as I had no escape in this predicament, I growled low and speedily pulled myself up, positioned my weight on top her whilst seizing her wrists and placing them
< Serena >I sauntered out of the king's chamber as fast as my shaking legs could take me. I could feel the moistness of my underwear as I walked. It was uncomfortable. It was awkward. It literally felt like I just stuffed a soaked roll of tissue in between my thighs with how crazily wet it felt down there.Elijah for sure noticed my discomfort and the wet spot on my dress. I didn't care to cover it up. At that moment, I was too conscious of the king's presence; too shaken up with what he had just done and what I had actually allowed him to do.One moment, we were discussing how to rid us of the mark and another moment, he was sniffing me out, gradually licking the outer layer of my underwear and eventually sucking my clit despite the obstruction, and I just lay there whimpering and enjoying his treatment.Oh god...Yes it was a euphoric moment, granted it was my first ti
< Serena >Trying to understand Rhea’s words, I recollected everything I experienced so far and yeah, somehow, not all were bad."True, this place is different than ours," I started when I faced her. "It is attractive..."'Not to mention the king,' my mind pitched in. I inwardly groaned. Of all the things to highlight, why him?Then I remembered one basic fact Rhea might not have known."If...if you want to stay, I think you can, but a word of advise, know first what kind of people you are dealing with,” I stated vaguely. If I tell her head-on that this kingdom’s people including their rulers were werewolves, she’d probably think me crazy.A small curve on her lip appeared and then I saw an undeniable recognition in her eyes."I know what you're trying to say, Serena. I know already what they are. They are werewolves.”My
