LOGINKing Leonidas' chest rumbled as he spoke. The anxiety I'd felt from the time I walked into the throne room and saw the blood and body had gradually faded away as I stayed wrapped in his arms. The voices around me had become clear and I was more focused now. Lauren and Melanie had been speaking. They accused me of murder. I pulled back slightly but his arms forced me back into his chest. "My lord..." I mumbled and he hummed. "Move the body" he ordered loudly. I heard footsteps. They moved from one corner to the other and then it went silent. King Leonidas released me then and I looked around the room. Melanie stood behind Lauren. The girl who had delivered the message to me earlier was next to them, a sharp look in her eyes. "Tell me what happened" King Leonidas said, looking straight into my eyes. My heart skipped a beat as I watched him. He was giving me an opportunity to speak first. To hear my own side. "I...I was told you wanted to see me" I mumbled. "Who?" I pointed directly
KING LEONIDAS POVA feeling of terror washed through me suddenly but it didn't come from me. It was a distant feeling, like it belonged to someone else but it made me frown all the same. I dropped the pen I held between my fingers and stood to my feet and walked over to the drink cabinet.‘Richard, confirm Rebeccah is still in my bedroom’ I ordered through the mind link. It would have been much easier and faster if I'd gone by myself but I didn't think that I could see her without attacking her and she was still too sore for me. I've been in a state of semi-arousal since I woke up with her next to me. The urge had almost been overwhelming, uncontrollable, so I distanced myself immediately. I'd known that once wouldn't be enough but I had no idea the intensity of my desire would increase. When it came to Rebeccah, I never understood my body’s reaction. Not too long ago, I didn't want her at all and at just one twink of an eye, I was burning for her. ‘My lord. She's not in your room’
I couldn't believe my ears. The man...beast I'd fucked twice under the moonlight was the alpha king and he was none the wiser. I wanted to ask...say something but I stopped myself. How do I bring it up? How would he react? I wasn't supposed to be out of the bedroom on the night of the full moon. So how do I go about explaining how it was me instead of Melanie?And most of all, what would I achieve with that?"What’s with that look? Are you that surprised about the glow?" His voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Uh...I've never seen it before" I mumbled, hoping he would really believe it was just surprise and not something else.His lips parted but just at that moment, his eyes glazed over and he grunted. "I'll be right back" he stormed out of the room before I could utter another word and I was left alone. My mind redirected back to the discovery I'd just made. The full moon had been a big topic since I arrived. Melanie's status revolved around it even. Lauren mentioned she had sur
I lay stiffly in bed, my eyes shut tightly. I don’t make a sound as I listen for the presence of another in the room. Not just anyone but King Leonidas. The memory of what happened between us filled my head as soon as I gained consciousness. I waited for the regret to come but it didn’t. All I felt was the satisfaction thrumming through my body. On some level, I’d been conscious of what I was doing. My body needed satisfaction and I wanted him. He’d given me an option to take a pleasure male but I didn’t want that. My hate didn’t matter in that moment as I stared at him and felt his gaze running across my body. I’d only felt that once in my life… or twice. Both on full moons with that beast man. My mind flashed back to the golden glow I’d seen last night. The pleasure had made everything hazy so I wasn’t entirely sure about what I’d seen. I had to ask, but I didn’t know how to. “Are you going to pretend to be asleep forever?” A squeal left my throat at the sound of his
The heat burned unbearably. King Leonidas stood above me, his face filled with desire but he didn't touch me. "Please" I begged again, arching my back and spreading my legs. His eyes darkened more and he moved closer. The bed dipped under his weight as he climbed onto it. He hovered over me and I reached out to touch him.He grabbed both of my wrists in one hand, stopping their movement with the tight grip of his fingers."It can't be one time" he growled, the vibration traveling down my body like an electric pulse."Yessss" I moaned louder, I didn't care what his condition was. I wanted him NOW!"Anytime I want....anywhere" he growled again and my head was instantly filled with images of me being taken in odd places. In an open hallway where anyone could pass and see, over his table, in this bed, pressed against shelves, and the smell of books filling up my head."YESSS" I was louder this time, perhaps to convince him of my need. His second hand brushed against my knees and my pu
KING LEONIDAS POV The words sounded strange even to me. But I'd seen one too many heats to not know the signs or make a mistake. But how could it be? She was human. Or was she? There was no world where humans had heats. And the scent, it was straight out of the dirtiest fantasies I'd ever had. Her scent was maddening. The smell of jasmine was intoxicating…dizzying. And the ambrosia, it turned darker, thicker. Not just something to be smelled but tasted, to be drunk until there was nothing left of her. I stared at her body writhing on the bed. I was frozen in place, and for the first time, I didn’t know what to do. “Ahhh” she moaned and I took a step forward. Big mistake. The air snapped tight, her scent amplified, and my control fractured. My beast reared its ugly head, wanting a taste of the woman that gathered his interest but I would never permit him to meet. It was just too dangerous. “Please” she cried, her voice was needy with desire, a sound that almost became my undoin
KING LEONIDAS POV The door cracked open but it wasn't the petite wildcat from moments ago. Richard stood behind me as I carved a new pattern into the chest of my captive. "She has been arrested my lord" he announced and I dropped my blade. The man strung up cried in relief and I cocked my head t
She turned away and walked to the exit. She didn't say the words but I knew she expected me to follow her. I'd come to understand that some instructions didn't need to be uttered by words. And in this castle, those instructions were expected to be obeyed. No time for questions. I followed her, ig
I didn't stop running long after I was out of that room. I narrowly missed bumping into walls because of my blurry vision. When my legs finally gave out underneath me, I was somewhere I didn't recognize. A narrow hallway. My hands shook as I pulled my knees to my chest. I'd murdered a man. An in
I abandoned Finn and my quest for dinner and I returned to my room. All through the night, I could barely get any sleep. The king appeared in my dream and he was tearing through Finn while I was forced to watch.By morning, I was a mess. On edge and nervous. The girls acted up as usual but I ignore
