MasukChapter 65: Scarlett"Ladies and gentlemen, the drinking ceremony has begun!" The master of ceremony announced and I felt my heart skip a painful beat.I had been preparing Asher's mind all evening long. I had put aside my anger and pain about the evil plans he had for my brother.I had allowed my body to take full control and let out bond take its course. But minutes ago, he escaped me.I tried to find him before the drinking ceremony but, like a curse, I got ambushed by guests wanting to talk to me. And now, the ceremony has begun, how?My eyes started searching the crowded hall for him, knowing fully well that the drink would work if he had me in his line of sight within seconds of taking it."My queen," Bee's voice cut through me.I swerved my head in his direction and I also saw the panic in his eyes as he pointed down the hall.I turned to find Angel, holding the glass to Asher with a dark smile on her face. And my heart dropped."No..." I mumbled as every part of me stood on se
Chapter 64: AsherThe day of the cursed Festival of Lust and Love finally came.The palace was loud with echoing footsteps, laughter, sex and every other sound that existed in the realm.But the loudest of it all, was my own breathing. It was ragged and shallow as I stared out the window, observing the excited people below me.The entire kingdom was preparing for the Festival. And I, their King, was trying to fight a war that no one even knew existed.Yet somehow, I had to show up. I had to face my guests and most importantly, I had to face Scarlett.After our last confrontation, I feared my heart wouldn't even listen to me when we saw her. It would literally melt in her presence and all the plans I had with Willow would be forgotten.I wanted to remain in my study and hope the festival would go away on its own, but I couldn't. I had to handle it.With a deep sigh, I summoned up and decided to deal with it, once and for all.I pulled the door to my study open and the moment I stepped
Chapter 63: ScarlettThe kiss had shaken me even more than our moment in the dungeon.I didn't know if it was once again, all in my head, but I felt his need. It wasn't just lust in that kiss, it was a surrender to the bond we both shared.I barely made it back to the room before I collapsed on the bed, and held my racing heart.My chest was burning just as the thoughts in my head swirled like a hurricane.I didn't know how to handle it. Everyone thought Willow was dead, yet she wasnt. She was working with Asher.That thought alone, sent a cold chill down my spine. I couldn't stomach it.And even though Asher promised to protect my brother, I couldn't.If whatever spell Willow had, worked on me, then it could work on my brother. If I could become paralysed, then it could happen to my brother too.I had to protect him in my own way too.And the best thing was to tell uncle Greg and aunt Emily. But telling them would mean exposing Asher...Now if I did that and it turned out that Asher
Chapter 62: AsherMy question hung in the air between us creating a thick tension that made it breathless on different levels.And while any other female would have cowered away, Scarlett stood right there in front of me like a storm that refused to back down.And somehow this storm made me powerless. It weakened my resolve and rather than let my brain act, my wolf purred with need.Fuck!Goddess… she always did this to me.She always had a way of cutting back the strings of my control and I knew I should have punished her.I should have roared and thrown her into another damn cell until she learned to stop crossing me.But I didn’t.My breath trembled as I was caught between fury and something deeper. Something I couldn’t name.And in the middle of all that chaos, I still wanted to hurt her. I wanted to shake her. But instead, my fingers curled into my palm and I dropped them to my side."You are a reckless fool," I growled, voice tight with restraint. “Do you really think you can st
Chapter 61: ScarlettMy vision was dark. My body wasn’t moving. But I could hear every sound around me.And I heard them.Goddess! Asher was working with Willow!My chest tightened as my breath started coming in gasps. Thankfully, whatever cursed spell she had placed on me, vanished and I jerked back into full consciousness.“Oh goddess… this is bad…” I mumbled as the panic and realization tore through me.I had to do something. I couldn’t let Willow hurt my brother.Quickly I ran to the closet and pulled out a large robe and wrapped it around myself before I began running out of the room.I had no idea where I was going but I knew I had to find a sort of solution. I had to stop their plan from happening.My heart was ramming hard in my chest and I barely picked up the echoing footsteps of someone coming in my direction until I ran straight into them.We both lost balance and my body was already swaying towards the floor when their hands steadied me.“My Queen!” Bee cried out. “Are yo
Chapter 60: AsherIt was already torture sleeping in the same room with her and not touch her. But she raised the bars by sleeping in that dangerous little piece of garment—Who even made such a thing and thought it was right to sell it to women? Especially women as beautiful as Scarlett?It should be a crime!No sane man could sleep peacefully knowing there was such a beautiful meal behind them… just in their arms reach.Yet I couldn’t touch her.After that night at the dungeon with her, I couldn’t bring myself to touch her anymore. Because I knew that the moment I gave in to that temptation I was doomed to forever chase her like a dog.I promised myself to abstain and keep my mind clear for the ceremony ahead. Once that was over, I would go on and drink the Aphrodisiac which should help me forget her completely.That was the only way.But if I made the mistake of touching her now, the Aphrodisiac was going to be a failed project. And I wasn’t about to let that happen.Yet even while
Chapter 96:Violet’s POVMy lower abdomen was killing me with pain. It kept shooting through me, weakening my legs to the point I could barely feel them anymore.Tears filled my eyes as I thought about what happened. The tears weren’t from the pain, it was from my heart.Even now, I couldn’t hate Axel.
Chapter 94:Axel’s POVThe darkness and anger in my soul shifted the second the news about Violet got to me. I didn’t even care about Aunt Emily. I knew she could handle herself and besides, she was still at loggerheads with me, and seeing her would only intensify my anger.But Violet, I could finally
Chapter 90:Violet’s POV“Hilda?” Axel asked the lady, but she stretched her perfect fingers in my direction and repeated her question, “Oh, that’s just a maid that thinks she can be something more…” Axel said, and I felt my heart slice into two. “Come, let’s go inside, you don’t need to stay here.”Si
Chapter 85:Axel's POV The entire mansion went into chaos as everyone stepped out of their rooms to see what was going on as I dragged Violet along the corridors.Every ounce of sympathy was gone and all I saw was red as I dragged her. Thoughts of her giving her sweet body to other men was the only th
