LOGIN"Rebeccah....Rebeccah" my name was a soft whisper in the wind. I tossed in the empty bed, trying to go back to sleep but the voice came again. "Rebeccah" the soft whisper caressed my bare skin. I open my eyes and recognize the room immediately. I jumped out of bed and ran towards the door. I ran down the familiar hallway, the floorboards creaking under my feet. I stopped in the doorway of the living room. The familiar figure was in her usual chair, rocking back and forth while she hummed a soothing tune. I ran towards her, throwing my arms around her tightly, and buried my face in her neck. "Paula" I cried with affection. It had been too long since I touched her. So long that I almost forgot the feeling of warmth she brought me.“I missed you” I cried into her neck. Her calloused palms ran over my arm in a gentle rhythm. "I've missed you so much" I mumbled again, tears clouding my vision now."My child..." I froze and jumped away at the sound of a strange voice. It was light when
Our lips danced against each other. Wet and sloppy, desire burning through us. I should have pushed him away but I forgot how to think the moment our lips touched.His fingers framed my face as the kiss deepened and I found his shoulders, holding onto him as he kissed me senseless.My lips parted and he rolled his tongue against mine. I moaned into the kiss, heat spreading through my body. His teeth gently nipped my lips and a needy moan escaped me.He tore his lips away from mine, both of us breathing fast and hard. His movement was rough and uncoordinated, lifting me off the ground and throwing me onto the bed. I bounced on it, hastily raising myself to my elbows as my chest rose and fell in quick succession. “I’m going to fuck you hard” he growled roughly, his eyes blazing with intent promise. A thrill ran through me at his words. The bed dipped under his weight and he tore the dress off me with a twist of his wrist. My pussy throbbed and wetness gushed out of me.His mouth cov
"W-what?" I moved away from her, staring at her in horror. "What are you saying?""That you are the one for him. The one who can truly help him""He has a mate" I corrected immediately, fear creeping up my spine."Based on a prophecy he could have misinterpreted? There are things that are very obvious. He acts differently around you. He's attuned to you more than he will ever be with Melanie""That doesn't mean anything" I said harshly. Inside, I was panicking. I didn't want anyone to make assumptions like this, to connect any dots. "It does. Believe me, it means a lot. I've known King Leonidas since he was a child. He has always been cold, uncaring...""He cares for you" I cut her off. "No. He cares for my loyalty. The moment he realizes I'm anything but loyal, he'll discard me. But with you, he doesn't care for it at all" I snorted. She had absolutely no idea what she was saying. If he ever found out that I'd stolen from him...I'd be the fastest kill he'd ever had. "You're adama
"I didn't" she mumbled. "That's not an explanation for why the throne room held a corpse""I...He was a criminal in the dungeon" king Leonidas fist tightened and my brows furrowed. How did she manage to get a criminal from the dungeon?"Keep talking""I was...jealous of Rebeccah and I wanted to set her up. I asked a guard for help and he brought a prisoner who was set to be executed today. I just wanted her to take the fall for it" I stared at her, dumbfounded by the lengths she had to go just to get me into trouble, and at the same time, disbelieving her story. Aside from being the king's personal servant, Lauren didn't have the power to command a guard to give her a criminal from the dungeon just so she could set me up. And even if it were a friend of hers, no guard would risk the wrath of the king just to 'help a friend' it had to be someone who had power even if it was a little bit of it. Someone with enough reason to make the guards lower. I looked at Melanie and she was alread
King 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’
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
I stared at the harrowing man that I'd traded places with Sarah earlier today just to avoid. His eyes burned into my skin, specks of gold dancing around the black pupils as he stared at me with an emotion I couldn't decipher. He was smiling but it didn't reach his eyes. His eyes told a different s
