Pearl Gem It was the new sensation that woke me. Raw, emotional energy clawing at my heart, forcing my eyes open from deep, dreamless sleep. The sky outside was beginning to darken. I reached for my cellphone. No texts. No missed calls. A hard lump formed in my throat as I felt the ache between my thighs and the dull soreness in my pelvis. I rose from bed to answer nature’s call, then returned and sank back onto the sheets. That sinful feeling was still there. Hot and needful. Why was my body reacting this way? Was it because it had been my first time? Or was it… something more? I swallowed and reached for my phone again, dialing His Majesty’s contact. My fingers trembled as I touched the screen, brushing over my nipple absentmindedly. The call rang. And rang. No answer. My heart sank. My shoulders dropped as dread swept over me. Was this it? Had he used me… again? I shook my head as if to erase the thought, quickly dialing again. Still nothing. The silence tightened
Pearl Gem After the departure of Kade King Majesty, I proceeded to water my flowers, tidy the house, and respond to the messages I had left unread from my customers, messages I hadn’t had the time or emotional energy to reply to. Then I walked to the window and peered across at the Yallas’ home, my heart thudding with unease. There was no sign that Royce was home. The sight made my chest ache. He must be disappointed in me, for what I have done but deep down, I hope he understands my plight. I turned away from the window and headed to my bedroom, laying down in an attempt to catch up on the sleep I never had. After all, Kade had made love to me throughout the night and only let me rest at dawn. But I couldn’t sleep. Instead, something stirred inside me. Lust. Craving. Desire. I felt wet and hot between my thighs. With a soft gasp, I sat up slowly and looked down at the spot between my legs, where my orgasm had already silently pooled out of me. Shame mixed with want. A lo
Kade King I didn’t bother hiding the feelings anymore. Or maybe… maybe I was done pretending. Pretending was harder than facing the consequences head-on. An Alpha King and an Omega. I sat in silence throughout the ride, allowing Riven to drive me toward the Royal Castle. He said nothing, though I could feel his eyes flick to me in the rearview mirror now and then. At last, he pulled in, passing through the royal attendants, those already waiting for my return. My beta rushed forward to open the door, and I stepped out, not sparing him a glance. I headed straight into the house, fully aware of the heated eyes burning from every corner of the castle. The House of Lords. Vargas. Throncrest. Even the House of Majesty watched me now, not with judgment, but a paralyzing silence born of fear. Yes, they knew. I was treading a dangerous path. The most dangerous path yet. I entered the living room just in time to see my mother pacing back and forth. Anxious. Fuming. I was s
Pearl Gem The feelings of waking up in a man’s arms. Not just anyone, but the Alpha King himself. The man who receives all the bows and respect, all the glory, power, the crown, and throne. A feeling so surreal, I never knew I could experience it. The morning is a wet one. The empire is still steaming dry from the rain that fell overnight, and the cool breeze is swirling gently. The sky remains cloudy as though another rain might still pour. I lay in his arms, my legs resting on his, his strength seeping into me, and the ominous feeling of other glories and power surrounds us, giving me the utmost sense of security. I feel safer in his arms than anywhere else, and yet… those same arms feel like hell to me, like shackles. How can I want someone and at the same time not want him? I slowly pull my head away to look at his face, and my heart skips a beat. The last time I watched his morning face, the sky hadn’t even been itself. In the mountains where Zephan and Lovemore live,
Pearl Gem I open my eyes gently, and for a while, I can’t remember where I am. The gentle breeze is swirling around, my chest heaving in peaceful breaths, and between my thighs, I still feel the dull ache of being loved. This makes me wonder if it is reality or imagination. Does this kind of peace exist in this empire? Who gave it to me? Those were my thoughts until the sound of my cellphone ringing, accompanied by approaching footsteps, came through, making me turn towards the door just as it opens to reveal him. Kade King Majesty. He is dressed in a casual outfit. Long-sleeve crew neck sweatshirt and loose pants. He’s barefoot, and he looks every inch like something I have never seen before. A… I swallow hard at the thought. A man in love? He slows at the door, then walks gently forward to extend the ringing cellphone to me, his eyes calculating as he watches in silence. I gently take the phone from him and stare at the screen, my heart leaping at the name I see. Royce
Kade King I laid her down on the bed gently, draping her body with the soft quilt, allowing her to take my hand as though she wouldn’t let me go otherwise. Her eyes fluttered softly as she fought the fatigue, the emotions and aftereffects of lying with an Alpha wolf. “Are you coming?” She asked quietly, but I didn’t answer. Instead, I kissed her lips, letting that say everything. Her eyelids lowered, and before long, she drifted into a deep slumber. I sat there, still as everything seemed suspended in the air, staring at her and watching the peace that swirled in the room. So this was exactly how it felt, to make love to someone I desired. To create a sacred bond, to carve out a special place in my heart for someone. To be wanted without wanting anything in return. The purest affection. The one I dare not name. I sat there watching her breath in and out, completely spent. My wolf had claimed her body. We both had. She was… different. Just very different. I reached out to
