Not Prepared
ELORAIn a few days, I formed a routine that kept me from going insane.During the day, I visited the royal beautician to prepare me for my meeting with the king even though he never showed up but I continued as Lucy said it was very necessary as my body has to always be ready for the king’s use. Then, after hours of tugging on my hair and applying various pomades, I took a stroll to the royal library, with a guard breathing down my neck, of course.When it was darker, I snuck to the staff quarters to visit my siblings. They were also terrified that they wouldn't see me again and asked questions about being the king's breeder, questions I had no answer to.After delightfully visiting my siblings, I retired into my room and ran a bath with the special soap the beautician recommended. The night time bath lifted my spirits. I would grab a book and settle down with it.The sunset seemed especially beautiful tonight so I grabbed a book with a beautiful cover from the shelf. It was a colle

Just A Mistress
ROMERome chided himself for being so weak that he had nearly taken Elora that night. Another part of him, the weak side of him, screamed at him to go apologize for the way he left her.She must be really confused right now.As he walked into his chambers, he noticed Teriel waiting on the long reading sofa. He was reading a book so intently he hadn’t noticed Rome walk in. "Teriel?" Rome called startling the man."Sir." He bowed before eyeing the king. His face seemed flushed and he was breathing louder and faster than normal. Did the king run here? "You seem a bit flustered."The king rubbed his face as if he could rub off the truth so easily. "Flustered? I just had a bath. Thanks to you, I feel better than ever," he replied. "Why have you come here? Shouldn't you be having a bath of your own?""Well, yes. I just thought to inform you that Noel has been to the dungeon as per your request."It took a moment before the king understood what he meant. "Oh, yes. That wolf. I reckon he sh

The Threat
ROME"Your Majesty.""Monica."The old king's mistress straightened up with a fake smile plastered on her lips. Although it was quite early in the morning, she was all dressed up in her usual regalia. Her hair was let down and her blood-red dress swept the ground not to forget the tiara she always wore. Her lips were also blood red."To what do I owe this visit?" He was quite impatient with Monica, after a somewhat chaotic night with Elora he needed something to eat. His stomach churned with hunger. He had been on his way to the royal dining hall when she stopped him."You summoned Kate, sir." She bowed again. "And you're not Kate." He raised an eyebrow and continued walking. His strides were long so Monica could barely catch up with him. The King suspected she had something up her sleeve."She is unwell, Your Majesty.""Unwell? I summoned her yesterday, she could have sent someone to tell me that but she went ahead and flouted my order.""We're sorry Your Majesty. She tried to... Bu

Dinner Preparation
ELORA"Ow." I winced as someone tugged on my hair. I had been sitting in a chair for hours, my behind and back ached."As they say, beauty is pain," Lucy said. After Skye left, she had come tumbling into my room excited. I wondered what was so exciting about being stuck in a seat for hours. My head burned too."My back aches," I whined as the hair stylist pulled my hair even more. "You've only been here for a few minutes." She replied, amused. She was seated on my bed, admiring the dress I was to wear. "In a few hours, this should be over. Trust me, you'd look stunning. I can't wait!" She clapped and squealed.I couldn't relate to her excitement so I gave a small smile. "Hours? That's a long time. Isn't this a dinner?""Not just a dinner, Elora. It’s a dinner with the king and his family. Your first time meeting his family as his mistress. It's a big deal." She said slowly then stood up and twirling dreamily.My hands were clammy. "When you put it like that...""Oh, Elora. It's goin

Worst Dinner Experience
Nobody said a word as I was led to my seat. The servant pulled out a chair and I found myself at the king's right, beside Kate. The king's strong mesmerizing woodsy smell hit my nose and I was reminded of last night in full force.I was too nervous to look up at him but the aura he exuded made his presence too hard to ignore. The memories of how his mouth had tasted the night before evaded my mind, causing my cheeks to heat up.I turned to Kate, trying to distract my mind. The smell of vanilla on her was near suffocating, with something even sharper that I had to hold back a strong sneeze. Her hair was let down, like her mother's and her dress was the same shade as her ginger hair. The arms were off her shoulder revealing a surprisingly enticing skin. Kate and her mother weren't ugly, no matter how much anyone wished them to be. On the contrary, they were breath taking but their beast-like character portrayed the opposite.On the opposite side of the table was Skye, who was seated by

Affirming Accusations
ELORAMy heart sank. I didn't know why but I suspected it had to do with the fact that the king had more important duties to attend to than me. I was confused. What did his visit to my room mean? However, he was the king of Bale so I didn't expect less."What duties are so much more important than pleasing a beautiful woman like this, Rome? Hm? What duties?" His nasally voice said, eyes darting between me and his son.I wished he could stop drawing attention to me.The king turned back, eyes on her even while he responded to his family."I'm not like you, father. Can we eat peacefully and go back to our businesses?"The room felt even hotter."What other business is more important than spending time with family?" I could hear the smugness in his voice.Skye scoffed. Loud. All eyes went to her."Family, indeed."Her father gave a deadly glare and then turned to me. His eyes softened."Now, Elora. If you have any difficulties, you know where to find my chambers, right?"I didn't know ho

Deserving Of Hate
ELORAI fiddled with my gloves, waiting for another one of the royal family to stand up abruptly but after the king left, they loosened up. The room was filled with Kain Kurt's boisterous laughter and Monica's giggles. Her sons decided to put up a show for everyone. The two men climbed onto the dining table skipping like little girls, spraying food on around in the process.I shifted back in my seat and locked eyes with Skye. She noticed that I was uncomfortable so she gave a tight nod. She stood up and I followed."Have a wonderful night, sir." I bow to the old king.Before he replied, Kain cut him short. "May I escort you to your chambers, my dear?" His eyes danced. He reminded me of a monster. My palms turned sweaty and my heart beat faster. I bowed my head to avoid his face."That's won't be necessary, Lord Kain." Skye said, coming to my rescue. She stopped, waiting for me to leave the room.I bowed and walked out surprised I hadn’t straight up bolted from the room.Immediately th

Mother's Warmth
ROMEThe king couldn't take the discomfort the royal family dinner offered any longer. He made his way out of the room straight to his favourite place in the Castle. The Red River. It was the most private place, apart from his chambers, and it held dear and fond memories of his mother. He could visit there and converse with her, informing her of what was happening. He was sure he was going to be engulfed in her peace.As he approached the river, he kicked pebbles around like a youngling. He had played the pebble game with his mother when she was healthy enough to. He threw one into the still river and watched as the ripples expanded. He threw another and another, hypnotized by them. The king was jealous of the river. He wished he was as peaceful and still as it was.He closed his eyes. "I miss you, mother."He walked deeper into the woods, farther from the river. The royal woods held diverse trees and plants. Many of them were used by the royal physician to concoct his antidotes. The

Gnawing Fear
ELORA"Goodnight, sir," I said to the royal physician who insisted on walking me into the main palace grounds. He was almost like a big brother guiding his little sister. "Goodnight, ma'am. Do not forget your checkup tomorrow." He bowed and walked in the opposite direction.This night had been emotionally draining and I yearned to sleep in my bed but frankly, I knew sleep would be hard for me to come by. The palace staff had all retired for the night so it was only the guards on night duties milling about. That was alright because I didn't want attention. It seemed everyone in the palace knew about the family dinner and I didn't want to constantly lie through my teeth that the dinner went splendid. "Elora!"I whipped my head in the direction of the voice to see Lucy running towards me. She was sporting her nightdress and a large shawl. "Oh, my I waited ages for you." She gripped her knees to catch her breath. When it was steady, she stood up. "Where have you been? Dinner was over

In His Arms
ELORAI froze, my heart threatening to burst when the king got up from his bed and walked in my direction, a sudden night breeze bringing the strong smell of alcohol to me.He’d been drinking? Oh no. I couldn’t have come at a worst time.His eyes had apparently glazed over with sleep because even when he reached me, he kept calling me Erika.He bent down, scooping me up before I even noticed him move and carried me bridal style onto his bed. It all happened in quick succession that I didn't know when I landed in his bed. He lay down and covered us with his large blanket.How did I go from tossing on my bed to laying in the king's bed in a few minutes? "Why do you smell so much like her...?" He mumbled. He flung his hand across my small body and pulled me closer to him, wrapping his large arms around me as he tucked my back to his front, spooning me. My heart thumped faster as I imagined how angry he would be when he woke up and realized I was the one in his bed. His breath fanne
