CHAPTER 40: She Slept Through It

Author: Amira Lights
last update publish date: 2026-03-15 23:17:31

POV: Melina

She woke up feeling warm.

Not the fever-warm of yesterday morning.....that had been uncomfortable, something to push through, her body working against her. This was different. This was the specific deep warmth of a body that had been thoroughly, completely taken care of and was still sitting in the aftermath of it, settled into the sheets like it had no intention of going anywhere.

She lay still for a moment and let herself exist in it before her brain caught up.

Then her brain caug

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 70: The Hospital Visit

    Melina's POVThe kitchen was warm when she arrived at six AM.Aiden was already there. Shirtless as always. Two mugs of coffee on the counter. Eggs in the pan.He looked up when she came in. His dark eyes tracked over her face. Lingered."You're leaving today," he said. Not a question.She stopped in the doorway. "How did you...""Marcus told me." He turned back to the stove. Plated the eggs with efficient movements. "City errands.""Personal errands," she corrected quietly."Right." He set the plate in front of her usual chair. Poured her coffee. Added cream the way she liked it without asking. "Sit."She sat down on the chair.He sat across from her with his own plate. They ate in silence for a few minutes. His eyes on her the entire time."How long will you be gone?" he asked finally."All day. I'll be back by evening."He nodded slowly. Set his fork down. "Be careful.""It's just the city....""Be careful, Sera." His voice was firm now. Final. "The city isn't as safe as you think

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 67: She Plans To Visit Her Mother

    She'd followed him.He'd taken her through the east corridor. Out the side door. Across the grounds to the pool house.Empty. Dark. The pool lights had been off but the moon through the windows had been bright enough to see everything. The water. The chairs. The windows overlooking the grounds.He'd pressed her against one of those windows. His body flush against her back. His hand sliding around to her stomach. Holding her there."Anyone could see us right now," he'd said against her ear. His hand had slipped lower. Unbuttoned her pants with practiced ease. "Anyone walking past. Marcus on patrol. The staff finishing their rounds. My brothers."She should have cared. Should have pushed him away. Should have said this was inappropriate and dangerous and absolutely not happening in full view of the grounds.His hand had slipped inside her underwear.She'd pressed back against him instead."That's what I thought," he'd murmured. His fingers had found her already wet. Already ready. "You

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 68: The Five Days Drift

    Melina's POVFive days.She'd lost five days.Melina sat on the edge of her bed at eleven PM staring at her notebook. The greenhouse route was still there in neat lines. East corridor. Second floor. Maintenance ledge. Garden wall. Ninety-three seconds.She hadn't looked at it in three days.Three entire days where the notebook had stayed closed in her bag while she'd been... what? Distracted? Occupied? Systematically dismantled by three men who touched her like they'd already decided she belonged to them?All of the above.She pressed her palms against her eyes. Tried to think through the fog that had settled over her brain sometime around day two.It had started in the kitchen.*****She'd shown up at six AM like Aiden.....like Alpha Aiden.....had asked.She'd heard Lucy correct herself twice when talking about the brothers. "Your Majesty" when it was formal. "Alpha Aiden," "Alpha Alaric," "Alpha Archer" when it wasn't. Never just their first names unless you were family.But they'd

    "About what.""About the fact that you're running yourself into exhaustion and it needs to stop."She stiffened. "I'm fine.""You're not." His voice was gentle but firm. "You barely sleep. You barely eat. You work twelve hour days and then go back to your room and do... whatever it is you do in there until two AM."How did he know that?He saw the question on her face. "I pay attention, Sera. That's my job. And I'm telling you right now that this pace isn't sustainable.""I don't have a choice.""Everyone has a choice.""Not me." The words came out harder than she meant them to. "Not right now."He looked at her for a long moment. Then nodded slowly. Like he'd decided something."Okay. Then we do this differently." He leaned forward. "You keep working the way you're working. But every morning you come to this kitchen before staff arrives. And I make you breakfast. And we sit here like this.""Why?""Because someone needs to make sure you're eating. And sleeping when you can. And takin

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 66: Fuck! You're drenched

    "I don't...." She couldn't finish the sentence."You do." His hand moved to the button of her pants. Didn't open it yet. Just rested there. "You're going to tell me what you want. And then you're going to ask for it. And then you're going to beg for it."Her breathing was unsteady now. Completely unsteady."What if I don't want to beg?"His mouth curved. That smile that looked warm on the surface and wasn't. "Then we stop. And you go back to your room. And you spend the rest of the day thinking about what you could have had if you'd just asked."He leaned in. His mouth next to her ear. "So tell me, Sera. Do you want this?""Yes.""Yes what.""Yes I want this.""Want what. Be specific."Her face was burning now. "I want you to.....""Say it.""I want you to touch me.""Where."She couldn't say it.His hand moved from the button of her pants to her throat. Not squeezing. Just holding. Making her feel exactly how much control he had right now."Where, Sera.""Between my legs," she whispe

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 65: Good Girl

    Melina's POVShe woke up at five thirty feeling him everywhere.Not Archer this time. Alaric. His mouth. His hands. The specific ache between her legs that came from being held open on a desk and taken apart methodically until she couldn't remember how to think straight.She lay there in the dark staring at the ceiling trying to will her body back under control.It didn't work.She got up. Shower. Cold water this time because hot water made her think about his tongue and the way he'd looked at her while he worked and she couldn't afford that right now.Clean clothes. Hair pulled back. She caught her reflection in the mirror.....tired eyes, flushed skin, another bruise blooming on her inner thigh where his fingers had gripped too hard.She pulled her pants on. Covered it.Her phone was on the nightstand. One missed call from last night. Her mother.There was a voicemail.She looked at it for thirty seconds. Didn't play it.Not yet. Not while her head was still full of Alaric's voice te
