The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 124: Queen Lilith
Their mother.Melina's face went hot. "Your Majesty. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here. I'll leave....""Don't be silly. Sit with me." Lillith patted the bench beside her. "I've been hoping to run into you again."Again. Right. They'd met before. During the sixteenth. When Lillith had given her that tea that made her hallucinate.Melina sat carefully. Maintained proper distance."How are you, Melina?" Lillith asked. Her voice was warm. Genuine. "Truly. How are you adjusting?""I'm..." Melina stopped. "I'm figuring it out, Your Majesty.""Please. Call me Lillith. 'Your Majesty' makes me feel ancient." She smiled. "Though I suppose I am ancient."Despite herself, Melina smiled slightly."I've wanted to meet with you properly," Lillith continued. "To welcome you. To talk. But my sons have been very protective of your time. They keep saying 'not yet, Mother. She's still adjusting.'" She said it in a perfect imitation of Alaric's commanding tone."They said that?""Multiple times. Ala
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 123: Meeting The Queen Again
"Because we're not trying to make you feel better," Aiden said bluntly. "We're trying to make you understand. If we wanted to lie, we'd tell you the bond makes infidelity impossible. We'd tell you we're biologically incapable of wanting anyone else. But that's not true. The truth is we could, theoretically, be with others. We're choosing not to. Because we don't want to.""Choice." Melina looked at him. "You're saying you're choosing me.""Yes." All three of them said it."Every day," Alaric continued. "Every moment. We're choosing you. Not because we have to. Because we want to.""But Stephanie....""Was convenient," Archer said. "Available. Willing. She served a purpose before we knew what you were to us. The moment we felt the bond, she became irrelevant. They all did.""And you didn't tell me about them.""No." Alaric's jaw tightened. "We didn't. Because we didn't think it mattered. Because they're in the past. Because we were trying to court you....to show you our present and our
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 122: How do I know that's true?
"No." All three of them said it simultaneously."You're our mate," Alaric continued. "That's not the same thing. That's permanent. Unchangeable. We're not going to get bored of you. We're not going to want others. The bond won't let us.""The bond." Melina laughed. It sounded broken. "The bond that you just admitted doesn't guarantee fidelity.""In theory it doesn't," Archer said. "In practice...for us...you're all we want. All we can think about. The idea of touching someone else feels physically repulsive now.""Now. But what about later? What about when the newness wears off? What about when I'm not enough anymore?""That won't happen," Aiden said."You can't know that.""Yes we can." Alaric moved closer. "Because the mate bond isn't just attraction. It's recognition. It's finding the person you're meant to be with. We found you. That doesn't change. That doesn't fade.""Stephanie didn't seem to think so.""Stephanie is bitter," Archer said bluntly. "She thought she had a permanent
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 121: Who Let You In?
"Really?" Stephanie tilted her head. "You don't care that I've been in all three of their beds? That I know exactly what they like? How they move? What makes them come?"Something twisted in Melina's chest. Sharp. Painful.Jealousy.The realization hit her like a physical blow.She was jealous."I've been here for years," Stephanie continued. Her voice was soft. Almost kind. "I've been their favorite. Their go-to. And now you show up with your mate bond and your special connection and suddenly I'm...what? Replaced?""I'm not trying to replace anyone....""Aren't you?" Stephanie's eyes were hard now. "You're living in their rooms. Eating with them. Working with them. Helping them through the curse. That's my role, sweetheart. That's what I've been doing for them for years. And now you're here and suddenly I don't get calls anymore. Suddenly I'm not welcome in their beds.""Stephanie." Archer moved forward. "You need to leave. Now.""Why? Because I'm telling her the truth?" Stephanie lo
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 120: Stephanie
Melina's POV - AfternoonShe was in the library when it happened.Reading. Actually reading. Not just pretending to research while her mind wandered. She'd found a book about supernatural law...about contracts and bonds and what constituted consent in situations involving power imbalances.Relevant reading.Aiden was across from her. Working quietly. The comfortable silence they'd fallen into over the past few days.Then his phone buzzed.He looked at it. His expression shifted."What's wrong?" Melina asked."Nothing. I just...I need to take this." He stood up. Walked to the far corner of the library. Spoke quietly into his phone.Melina went back to her book.Tried to go back to her book.But she could hear the tension in Aiden's voice. Could see the way his shoulders had gone rigid.He ended the call. Came back to the table."I need to go," he said. "Something's come up. You'll be okay here for a bit?""Yes. What's wrong?""Nothing you need to worry about." But his voice was tight.
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 119: Do you want to stay?
"I don't believe in fate.""Maybe you should." Clara's voice was gentle. "You came to that estate desperate. Planning something dangerous. And instead of punishing you or turning you away, they gave you work. Gave you purpose. Gave me the cure. That's not just luck. That's something more."Melina wanted to tell her. Wanted to explain about the mate bond. About the curse. About the full moon and the way her body had responded. About the way the bond pulled at her even now.But how could she explain something she barely understood herself?"They need me there," she said instead. "For specific reasons I can't fully explain. And I don't know if that's enough reason to stay.""Do you want to stay?" Clara asked again. "Forget about what they need. Forget about obligation or debt or any of that. Do you...Melina...want to stay there?"Did she?A week ago the answer would have been a clear no. She'd wanted to escape. Wanted her freedom. Wanted nothing to do with the men who'd trapped her.But

The way he said her name.Not like Archer had said her real name....deliberate and loaded, a card placed face-up on the table. This was different. He said Sera the way you said a word you weren't entirely sure was the right one. Carefully. With a quality of attention underneath it that she felt in

POV: MelinaThe note had four words on it.Report to my office.No please. No time suggestion. No signature...just the Howlington seal pressed into the bottom corner like that was explanation enough. Like anyone in this building would need clarification about whose office they were being summoned t

She finished the room in ten minutes. Moved faster than she needed to, not fast enough that it looked like running, just efficient, just thorough, just professional.When she was done she turned around and he was sitting in the chair reading and not looking at her and somehow that was worse than if

She didn't hear him come in.That was the first problem.The second problem was that when she finally realized he was there, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching her like she was something he hadn't quite decided what to do with yet....she'd been bent over his bed for God knows how
