LOGINMERILYN Althrough the night, I kept thinking of what Lyn said. I barely got a wink of sleep until very early this morning. Maybe I shouldn't have told them about the King and I. It wasn't like he was professing his undying love for me. It was just the usual rumpling in the sheets. Keep telling yourself that. I sighed. “My Lady, you're all done.” Gwen said, as she made one final swipe of gloss on my lips and stepped away. My eyes opened, taking in my reflection in the mirror and for a second, I couldn't believe my eyes. I pressed the tip of my fingers against my cheek and leaned in, “Wow,” “You like it, right?” “Like? I love it.” I grinned. “I look so beautiful.” “Meh,” Gwen shrugged, “I didn't do much. My lady already looks beautiful from the start.” I smiled and stood up, walking up to the full length mirror in my room before twirling in front of it, “You really should give yourself some credit.” My heels clicked against the floor as I came to a stop,
MERILYN“That vile witch! I can't believe she was behind all this.” Gwen scowled as we got into the car. “She not only bought all the nice dresses, she even made it harder to check out as well.” I exhaled, leaning against the chair, my eyes closing. “My lady, you shouldn't have stopped me. You should have let me deal with her.” “And get you in trouble, not a chance.” I replied. Gwen had a bad temper, one she had issues putting in check. If she'd gone against Lorelei, we never would have heard the end of it. “But she was very disrespectful to you, right Caigar?” Caigar who just got in, looked at us through the rearview mirror and nodded. “Lady Merilyn is right too. She wouldn't have let it go. You'd have been outshined and our Lady would feel bad about it.” Gwen huffed, “Alpha should never have been engaged to that brat. I honestly don't understand what he sees in her. It's not like she was ever useful either.” I placed my hand in her thigh without looking, “It's okay. Ignore he
MERILYN “My Lady,” Caigar bowed as Gwen and I walked past him. “Is it necessary for him to come with us?” I asked Gwen. “Wouldn't he be uncomfortable?” “Caigar is your bodyguard, My lady. So yes, it is necessary.” “We’re just going shopping Gwen. What's the worse that could happen? It's not like anyone is waiting to kidnap me. The world doesn't even know I exist.” Gwen shrugged, “That's what you think but the King has gained enemies large enough to form a nation, we’re not about to take any chances.” Caigar pulled open the car door, shutting it once Gwen and I were safely inside before walking around to the front passenger seat. “I'm guessing you have the best shops lined up for me.” I smiled and Gwen grinned. I'd noticed that a happy side of her always appeared whenever things like shopping was brought up. Judging from how fashionable she was and always turning up with pretty clothes, shopping was definitely her favourite hobby. “Of course I do. We don't have to stick to one
MERILYN“Kairen! What is the meaning…” My feet came to a halt, my voice trailing off as I stared at the men sitting around the table. So I lost my senses for a second and forgot that the man I came all the way here to confront was actually a King and right now, his generals and subjects were glaring daggers at me like I just walked in on a top secret conversation. I chuckled nervously, “Uhm, I…I’m so sorry. Please, c-carry on.” “Get out.” Kairen ordered and I didn't even need to be told twice. I turned around and walked towards the door. “Not you, Merilyn.” Huh? I looked back and saw Beta Valios and Lord Flinn already on their feet, staring at the row of men on both sides of the table. Wait, was he talking to them?“Your Majesty, this conversation is of utmost importance. We can’t just leave half—”“My mate is more important than whatever conversation we were having, and if you haven't noticed, she's in distress. Do you expect me to ignore her for you?” Kairen asked, his nonchal
MERILYN “Like… now?” “I don't see a better time to.” He answered, pining that heated gaze on me. Goosebumps erupted over my skin. “You don't want to?” He asked, a hint of worry appearing in those lust-filled eyes. My eyes fell on the lingerie set lying neatlyin one corner. Oh, I wanted to. I'd been picturing whatever would happen in between if I wore that but now that it came down to it, I was too…shy to do it? Kairen was suddenly in my space, his arms wrapping around my body, “You don't have to if you don't want to.” His head lowered, “We can always continue—”“Wait.” I pressed my hand against his chest, swallowing lightly as I looked at him. “I… I want to. I just… Can you give me a moment to get ready?” The smile that exploded on his face was almost blinding. “Sure.” He answered, and then stepped away. I picked a see through red lacey set, held it to my chest as I scurried into the closet. My back leaned against the door after shutting the door behind me. My heart thumped hard
MERILYN“Lorelei, what are you doing here?” Her mouth fell open in shock, her eyes darted back and forth between the both of us before landing on Kairen once again. “What am I doing here? Me? Is that what you should be asking when I just caught you cheating on me?” She shrieked, her neck strained, causing her veins to pop against her skin as she glared at the King. “I'd have to be married or engaged to you for me to be cheating on you. But we're not.” “We are—”“Need I remind you I already sent a letter to your father dissolving whatever ties we had between us?” Kairen asked, his nonchalant gaze swooping over her as he moved closer to stand next to me. “I didn't accept it. And in doing so, our engagement still stands.” Lorelei argued, her hands folded into a tight fists by her side. “You're the only one who thinks so. I've already ended it, and I've also moved on. If you're hell-bent on staying in the past, pursuing a relationship that no longer exists, then be my guest.” I loo
MERILYNThink carefully. Or I might kill you if I don’t like your answer.I jerked awake with a scream. My eyes darted around searching for the threat, looking for the three-headed monster that had hovered over me, threatening to kill me. My stomach churned, cramps squeezing the life out of my or
MERILYNI silently followed the men as they led me away from the airport into one of their very luxurious cars. “Please,” the man gestured, and I got in. Fear oozed from me like an open dam. My hands clutched my bag tightly, and my eyes kept darting to the man seated next to me. How on earth had
MERILYNNever in my thirty years of living did I think I’d ever have a one-night stand, and not just that, I’d woken up to him still stuck inside of me. My legs quivered as a familiar rush of sensation coursed through me at the memory. The feeling of him filling me up, his tip nudging at a part i
KAIREN“Wh-where are you taking me?…” She drawled as her jelly legs made their way across the pavement. She reeked of alcohol and something sweet. Her scent has grown stronger in the last couple of minutes. “Ohhh, are we going to get laid?” she giggled, limply leaning on me as I held her up. “W
