Thank you for reading.✨🦋 For those waiting for TLAFA, I'm still working on my chapters. If I don't finish tonight, they will be up tomorrow. 💛
ADESSA. “Let go of your harem.” I told him. I had no right to order him but I could only imagine how Dorothea feel. “As long as the royal wife agrees…”“Do you think she agreed because she was okay with it? Or because she’s afraid to say no to you?”“I didn’t threaten her. I asked nicely if she’d be okay if I had some…”“She’s not okay with it.”“Did she tell you?”“No. She never even said you have a harem. I just concluded because Father had. But no wife would want a harem for their husband.”“My mother did. She was okay with it… Because she was meeting men outside, too.” My mouth hung open as something came to mind. “The Quee did? Are you thinking Dorothea has flings outside? Is that why you think she allowed you to have a harem?”He began walking toward the door. “Maybe. Who knows? I dared not check. I don’t care.”“If you really don’t care, then let her go. Maybe she’s better off without you.”I saw him hold the doorknob tighter before speaking in a cold tone. “She’s my wife.”
ADESSA.“Are you afraid of my brother?”“No. He’s not a violent man. But he never talks, so… I stopped asking questions.” “Do you like him?” I had to ask. “I don’t know. Like is a vague term for someone you don’t know. I see how you and Alpha Kael are with each other. Despite the distance, despite not standing in close proximity, your gestures and movements are in sync. We don’t have that. Some days, I don’t even know where he is.”“But I see how he attends to you…”“Welcome to the Royal Family…” She smiled weakly again, but this time, she looked further away. “What you see on the outside is not what it seems in private. I hope being a part of the royal family this won’t change you and Kael.”-------Dorothea had left my chamber, but I was still thinking of our conversation. I judged her quickly. No wonder she kept a poker face and put on thick makeup because she wanted to be on par with Esmaeel’s age. He was thirteen years older than her. But she was so beautiful and looked so you
ADESSA.It had been hours since Kael went into a deep sleep after my mother and I performed some magic on his head. I still didn’t fully understand what she had done, but I released my heat to help amplify her power. It was strange how I could summon it without any effort when it came to Kael. All I needed to do was look at him, and my body instinctively knew exactly what to do. Mom said I might not be a Guardian, but it seemed my body was made to guard and protect my mate. She said it might be the reason the Goddess prohibited Guardians from reproducing, because their offspring might carry their power, and the world would just exploit them. It must also be the reason they wanted to terminate her while she was pregnant with me. To make sure I would not come out of this world, but once I did, they no longer had the power or reason to kill a child. Because I was not bound by their laws. And that was what I was thinking at the moment, whether my child would also inherit my power. Will
KAEL. CONTINUATION OF THE FLASHBACK FROM PREVIOUS CHAPTER. “I am, but… But I grew up mostly with humans and Omegas. They don’t shift in front of me.” She hugged her body tighter, still looking at the place where I assumed she left her shirt. “Makes sense,” I said before I pulled my shirt off my body. Her eyes rounded more as she stepped back, almost missing a step, but she was able to hold herself up. “Please don’t…”“What? I’m giving you my shirt.” I frowned before my hand extended to hand it to her. “Your shirt must be the one floating there…” Her cheeks tinted red as she followed my line of sight, where a white cloth was being carried away by the water. She then took two steps forward to take my shirt and pulled it over her as fast as she could. “I took it off because it was too big and was blocking my view of the water when I bent… Not because I wanted to be naked.” “I’m not judging.” I said, raising my hands up. “What’s your name?” I had no idea why I asked. I was not the
KAEL.“Oh, Goddess!” Adessa gasped softly. “They announced their pregnancy…” She didn’t continue.“They did. They played me well and orchestrated that to slam it in my face. My Beta got many incorrect answers on that Beta task, and yet we won. So I knew they were capable of making me win this Royal Games if they wanted to…” He swallowed before he continued. “I backed down because after what I witnessed when Kael returned to the arena, I knew there was no way you would marry me or anyone. But I’ll be honest with you, Luna Adessa. I badly need your help… I want to be healed. Name your price, even the impossible. I will try to meet it.”“Do you think she will come back to you if you can give her a child?” Adessa asked, her voice laced with animosity. —————————-AUTHOR's Note: THIS CHAPTER CUTS HERE, as the next book of the series will feature ALPHA DRACO and a female named IRIS. So, I will not be expanding more about him until it is time to tell his story. If you haven’t seen the tit
KAEL. The door to the Grand Parlor was opened, and the two Royal Guards were the first to step in before Adessa and I followed.Draco stood up but didn’t say anything. He was at a round table, so I led Adessa to the other side and let her take a seat first before I did. It was only then that Draco sat down. His eyes went to the Royal Guards, who were standing at the far end, looking at the empty space in front of them. “I’m not planning anything.” He began. “This is a protocol if you wish to speak with the princess.” I answered. “If this is not okay with you, then we need to cut this conversation short.”“No. I’ll be fine with them around. I need to talk with Adessa…”“Princess Adessa…” I said. “Luna Adessa…” My mate spoke. “Luna Adessa,” Draco repeated. “I know you might not forgive me, but I still want to apologize for all the trouble I caused.”“Trouble? Many people ended up dead because of you. Including your own brother.”“He chose his own fate. I didn’t ask him to assault y
