The satin against my skin clung indecently onto my flesh. My naked shoulders begged for attention as my bare arms demanded something warm for this cold evening. Back in castle, I barely had any extravagant accessories or clothes, it wasn't like I complained but the false hope of affection my so-called husbands were showing me left me both amazed and anxious. My eyes peeked over the gold accessorised danglers over my ears with matching brief pendant collared around my bare neck, leaving the marks of ownership of Lords of Nithilorc for whole kingdom to gaze. My soft curls twisted in low bun that my mother used to wear as her signature style with white lilies. It seemed like a distant memory that was slowly fading away.Instead of lilies, my bun was strained with golden pins, few strands fell over my face, hiding the red tint on my cheeks. I slolwy twirled only to gaze at my back.My whole back was naked. How in the world was this supposed to be

Pain usually represent the weakness of one's body, the limit to which something's pushed. There's always a delicate point after which softness of delicacy deforms into a form that could never be reformed. A point after which everything collides and turns everything into a pile of dust. A sole rememberance of souvenir, a soft touch of alluring darkness.  Ezra's eyes represented that darkness.  Barely noticeable yet not something which could be easily missed.  That little scared me. Nearly shook me to core.  I had witnessed enough to know what his tightening grip on my arm said, the slight twitch of his jaw, the furious gaze as it hardened on my face. My lips sealed shut. I couldn't even hiss in pain, afraid if he might implicit the same pain over my soul too. The man was not dangerous. Danger was him.  "Oh! My apologies! There's something that needs my att

"E-Ezra..." Fear that now he had discovered me he casually regard me with his arctic blue gaze. His shoulders stretched widely as he stood tall in front of me, just like his brothers, his face was also sneered with blood of innocents. Alarmingly, his fangs elongated indenting into the meat of his lower lips as blood trickled down his chin for he had ultimately tracked down his prey. My left foot terrorisingly moved backwards as I grappled to breathe my body, trembling to his quick advances.This was no ordinary version of Ezra I had ever witnessed from the way he was analysing me, from the way deep reverberating growls erupted through his throat. This version was....more scarier. My soul shudders, signalling me to run away. His presence was audacious yet ethereal. I-I did not wanted this and this frightened me. He marched forward, coming closer to where I was standing, and gulped audibly. What would he do to me? Leaning towards my body, my fear intensifi

My first impulse as my eyes opened fully was to inspect the marked area of my neck. Not that I felt any more pain or anguish, but there was a slight tangerine feel to the spot and a leftover bittersweet ache. The second was deadly. A shriek reverberated through my throat when I sensed a hard body just behind me. A strong arm draped over the curve of my waist made my heart beat accelerate with both panic and scorching fire that burned where our flesh connected. I could feel his hot breath against the nape of my neck as he sleepily pulled me towards his chest with such fervor that ignited unrecognized desires inside me.Now that I was devoid of any severe pain, I remembered the fragments of yesterday night. The scenes were fresh and that also brought the memory of the lewd woman I nearly become last night. No amount of embarrassment described the sentiment I possessed.Self-guilt started building inside me and I immediately placed my hands over his bulky arm as I tried to yank myself

His laughter bombarded the room. My brows creased in confusion as his hold on me loosened, the little freedom had me squirm back as my back hit the bedpost and Ezra taunted with amusement as his eyes trailed over me. Veles threw his head back laughing.“Did you hear her?” Veles asked, looking over his shoulder at entertained Ezra. What was so wrong with my words?Theodore lightly giggled from behind and I scowled at him.“Loud and clear,” Ezra mumbled, a slight tint of leisure in his voice. His blue-grey eyes held amusement. Fear was suddenly overlapped by frustration as I narrowed my eyes at him and said.“I’m your wife,” I reminded them. No matter how much I despised this reality, I was also the Lady of the castle. I was very of their laws here but definitely knew my rights. If I wanted to escape them, I had to make sure I had power over them. My thoughts compiled and I clenched my fists.Veles grinned, his lips turned into a smirk as he leaned down to my face, his breath fanning
