Kaden's POV.The smile left my face when I saw Shantel walk in with a flirtatious smile plastered across that annoying face of hers.She looked around the room, making sure that no one was looking her way and then she took another step forward, walking past me to where she had a seat at the corner of the room. She sat down and smiled at me.She walked to where I stood trying her best to be seductive.”Hey Kaden, I missed you." Her hand ran across my cheek slowly in a way that I found irritating, thus causing me to pull away.I turned to look at her and saw she was holding an arm out. I didn't take it though, instead I turned to the door, and she stopped me."You don't get to leave just yet." She purred, placed her other hand on mine and tried again and began walking slowly around me in semi circles."Don't make me try this hard, my King." Her voice was low and sweet enough to lull anyone into a trance but I couldn't do it. I shook my head and pulled away from her.All I could think
Audrey's POV.I stood up when I heard the door open even though I was still quite shocked at everything king Kaden had said to me. My mind was still in a haze as I hadn’t quite suggested it all. It felt surreal; I hadn’t really expected him to say something like this at all. I looked down shyly when Adler walked in and stared at me with a smile and back at King Kaden.I smiled slightly and bowed my head in respect."Oh! Don't do that," He grinned and sat down on King Kaden's bed, "We're friends now right." He continued with that grin."You can't be friends with a slave." I muttered."I can if I want to." He shot back, I managed a smile bowing to both of them."Remember what I said Audrey." King Kaden's voice boomed from behind Adler."Yes King Kaden." I rushed out immediately, I didn't want him to notice the blush that was already forming on my cheeks.As soon as I walked out the door, I paused when I bumped into Shantel who stood in the hallway, waiting and glaring at me w
Audrey's POV.I woke up with a start, my heart was racing and I was breathing heavily. I didn’t know where I was and the last thing I could remember was fainting when the head slave and her minions had attacked me.I gasped when I looked around my surroundings, only for me to realize that I was in the King's room and in his bed.Instinctively, I looked down at my body and sighed when I saw that I was still clad in the clothes I had worn the previous day.I quickly rolled off the bed but stopped in my tracks when I heard soft footsteps sounding behind me. In near fright, I turned to see one of the king’s guards entering the room.He bowed low to me, and I returned it politely as I tried to balance my weight on my legs.The room spun for a moment until I regained control of myself and sat back down on the bed that had been provided for me.I felt like something bad had happened, but I couldn’t quite figure out what.When I finally got control of my senses and my thoughts, I looked over
Audrey's POV.I blinked my eyes repeatedly after he had said that because I found it quite difficult to believe what he had just said. I felt like I was living a dream I would soon awake from and I felt bad to know that these could all just be fragments of my imaginations. "Where am I staying then?" I asked carefully, not wanting to come off as too eager or too willing."In the palace with me." He replied, making me gasp in shock.He ought to be kidding me!He slowly took in my expression and when he had seen what he was looking for, the frown on his face dissipated and was immediately replaced with a bright smile which almost blinded my vision.I was awestruck!"I hope you'll like it here." He added, but when I still didn’t say a word, he nudged me carefully, saying; “ say something!”"I would love to be here,” I said slowly, “…I'm only just a lil bit surprised that's all." A laugh escaped from his lips before he hugged me. I was also surprised that he had hugged me, but I sa
Audrey's POV.I glanced curiously between the man that just walked in with Adler and back at the king, and couldn’t help but wonder what the deal was between them. It was quite obvious that King Kaden wasn't happy to see him here but I didn’t want to come off as too curious and decided not to ask him about it."King Kaden." The man bowed, but from the almost nonexistent smirk on his face, it was glaring that he didn’t mean his greetings.King Kaden's nostrils flared, his lip twitched as he glared at him, but then he snarled; "What are you doing here?"The man chuckled, "Why should I be the only one to have some fun? You know you're dying for it.""What do you want, Prince Erik?" Kaden rubbed his temples.Prince Erik rolled his eyes dramatically, "Cousin you wound me."He clutched his heart playfully, then smiled wickedly, "But anyway..." He leaned forward slightly until his nose almost brushed against Kaden’s and I looked away because I was starting to feel weird.In fact, this whole
Kaden's POV.I couldn't believe Erik had the nerve to show his face here.The audacity of it all! I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't just as pissed off as he was, even though I knew he did not deserve my fury. My eyes narrowed as Erik walked up, his face had a smug smirk on it, as though he were in absolute control.When he came inside my room, I almost lost it and pounded his face with my fists, but I stopped myself from doing so simply because my Audrey was then and now he’s done something else, something worse.Funny enough, he didn't say anything. Instead he just stared back at me, waiting for me to say something, goading me, testing me.I clenched my teeth, trying to think of how to send him back.He was never to be trusted, he wanted my throne and I didn’t like that. I couldn’t shake out how many times he has tried to kill me in the past, how many times he had tried to overtake my throne, and how he has always failed.If he’s here for it this time again, then he would not succ
Audrey's POV.I pranced around the king's room nervously, wondering why he took so long after he left the room with Prince Erik even after he had told me that he wouldn’t be taking too long.After prancing about the room for a while, I sat back down on his fluffy bed with a huff, my feet already tired from my incessant walking.I sighed in frustration and tried to calm myself but I just couldn’t. I was sure that King Kaden would return soon, but I still felt worried because it was quite unlike him to say a thing and do another. He had promised to come back after a little while and so I had waited patiently until now that it was quite over a few hours and he had still not shown up. Unconsciously, I stared at the door and was shocked when it opened but when I waited for someone to walk in, no one did. I frowned at what just happened, and again, when I stared at the door, it closed immediately as if it was being controlled by some external force. Curiously, I got up and walked tow
Audrey's POV.I didn't want to know who this man was, but I just knew that he was definitely someone dangerous and someone I needed to flee from.My heart thumped furiously against my chest, fear making my blood run cold as I stood with my hands trembling against the table in front of me, trying to make sure that he didn't notice how scared I was. It wasn't like I could let him know how weak I am, he could attack me easily."Who are you?" I asked after summoning the courage."You don't get to ask questions, you'll just follow me." He smirked.I took a sharp breath and closed my eyes for a second, I imagined throwing him across the room.To my biggest surprise he crashed on the cupboard wincing in pain, I gasped in shock wondering how I did that.I then realized that it had been me doing that all along. I used my power when I was in the king's room, but I didn't understand where this power came from."What are you? What do you want from me?" I demanded.He stood, looking at me angrily
