Se connecterKING LEONIDAS POV I dropped the wretched heart on the table. The lifeless organ stared back at me. The body crumpled at my feet and I turned away. The scream continued and I looked over at Rebeccah. In my anger, I’d forgotten her reaction to unexpected killings and the effect of blood on her. I cursed under my breath as I tore off my shirt and cleaned off the blood. She was still screaming when I walked over to her and lifted her in my arms. I carried her out of the dining hall. She went limp in my arms and I looked at her face to see she’d passed out. I muttered under my breath as I mind linked Zeus. “My bedroom. Now!” When we arrived, I lay Rebeccah gently on my bed. I took a step back and watched her. Her face was drained of colour but she still managed to look so beautiful. I wanted to turn away but I couldn’t stop staring at her beautiful face. Created to perfection. I doubt the goddess created any other person to look so angelic. I’d starved myself of her presence because
I rubbed my hands that held that cup a moment ago. Poisoned? How...? My stomach churned. I'd been so close to taking it. If he hadn't stopped me... "Who the fuck served this?" His voice thundered in the dining room. Everywhere was dead silent as he got to his feet, towering over the attendees. Not a single word was uttered, and everyone seemed to have stopped breathing. "I won't ask a second time" he gritted out. "But bodies will start dropping if I don't get a fucking answer" my stomach protested as an image of bodies appeared in my head. "M-my lord..." a servant, shuffled forward trembling, her eyes wet with unshed tears. Her heartbeat was the only sound loud enough to be heard in the still room. A choked gasp escaped her throat as he flew across the room in one second, his fingers tight around her throat. "Did you fucking serve this?" He yelled down at her as his fingers tightened around her neck. I saw her trying to shake her head, her lips parted and closed but no words c
“What?” I was shocked by his response. His gaze was unwavering as he stared at me. “I don’t need to repeat myself Rebeccah” he looked away and started writing again. “I’m apologizing” I said through clenched teeth, feeling upset by his cold response. “I don’t care about your apology” I reigned in my anger at his response. “It was wrong for me to do that and I apologize” I said stiffly.Even though I wanted to storm off, I’d been in the wrong. He said nothing, writing like I’d not even spoken. Biting back the words that threatened to spill, I turned around and walked out. ‘You can’t be upset because he’s angry. He has every right to be’ a voice whispered in my head. True. But I was trying to apologize and he acted so coldly. I huffed and stormed out, feeling a little bit of regret that I’d attempted an apology.But the feeling disappeared almost immediately. It was the right thing to do.I returned to the bedroom, feeling a little lighter that I’d apologized but another part of me
"I asked you a fucking question" he snarled at me. My grip on the sheets tightened. His looming figure was frightening enough but my anger was just as fierce as his. "I'm not wrong to think it was you am I?" I kept my gaze on him. He scoffed, running his hands through his hair. "You think I'll stoop so fucking low to drug you just to fuck you?" When he said it out loud, I realized how crazy it sounded but he was my only suspect. He had been the one to pour the drink and it clearly had no effect on him. Why then did it have an effect on me? "You poured the drink""And you fucking drank it without question" he snarled, eyes blazing, body shaking. "I'm not a fucking rapist" he yelled at me and my stomach twisted."The last time I took a sip out of that drink was before Melanie's arrival. After she left, you were the only one to take a sip out of that drink" Did that mean Melanie had been the one to drug it? She drugged the king? "I'm a fucking monster and animal but I'd never assaul
A low throbbing at the base of my skull roused me from my deep sleep. I was buried under a mountain of muscle and hotness. I stirred under the weight and the body moved. King Leonidas rolled off me. “Ooof” I squealed when he lifted me with one arm onto his chest. I didn’t protest and let my head remain on his chest as his heartbeat slowly lulled me back to sleep. A loud knock jerked me out of my sleep and I groaned as the pain in my head returned. “Zeus is here” King Leonidas whispered in my ear and I sat up immediately. I regretted it immediately because the throbbing in my skull had worsened to the point it felt like my head was going to split open. “What?” “We need to get dressed” he said pointedly and lifted me off him. I looked away when he climbed out of the bed butt naked and pulled on sweatpants. He tossed his oversized shirt towards me as he walked to the door. I quickly pulled it on and arranged the covers around myself. “Good day,” Zeus greeted politely as he appr
I burned hotter at his words. “King Leonidas” I sighed as he kissed my neck. “No. Just Leonidas. I’m no king right now” he spoke with an intensity that struck at my heart. “Leonidas” I called softly and he smiled, his eyes creasing in the corners. I traced the edge of his smile lightly with my fingers. He but down on them, not enough to leave a mark. But enough to send a shudder through me. Leonidas kissed lower, his fingers gently running across the swell of my breasts and throbbing nipples. Over my stomach, he trailed a feather light touch and I moaned, biting into my arm. “You smell so fucking good” he muttered darkly, our eyes met and his gold orbs glowed. Leonidas pushed my legs wide apart and settled between them. He sniffed me, burying his face into my most intimate place. “Ahhh” I cried softly as he traced the length of my slit with his tongue. My body responded and wetness gushed out of me. “You taste even fucking better” he praised, and I moaned. “I want to eat
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
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 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
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
