Chapter 31

AVERY “ I was scared last night, My King. It felt like someone was trying to kill me right under your nose. ” I bat my lashes, sliding a little closer to him, occupying more space between his parted thighs. The people in the throne room seem to have disappeared altogether because no one dares to speak again. “ I thought I should call you to my room and keep you to myself all night because I couldn’t sleep due to the fear and I thought if you were in the bed with me, it would be easier for me to…catch some sleep. ” I whisper, but I am sure everyone can hear. “ What are you trying to do? ” Draven scoffs but Aleister lifts his hand in the air, shutting him up again. The smug King is enjoying having me kneeling between his legs. My stomach tightens into knots. “ What do you want, Princess? ” Aleister runs his knuckles down my cheek gently. “ You know…My King… ” I cringe and don’t make the effort to cover it when only Aleister can see, “ I couldn’t sleep at all after our long night

Chapter 32

AVERYHis eyes, wide and round stare back at me while his hand gestures at me to do something. I can’t make sense of it. I think he wants me closer, or maybe, he wants me gone.“ Don’t. ” I murmur, again and again and again but they pay no heed to it.My words mean nothing to them tonight. When I try to get them off with my hands, a push sends me flying in the air.The world spins as the window becomes smaller in my view. When I finally hit the floor, something cracks, and choked screams erupt from my mouth.A sharp breath, and then nothing but an endless abyss of pain. I gasp, my eyes shooting open to meet the familiar black pants and a muscular thigh. For a few moments, I blink and breathe deeply to regain my senses.My trembling fingers touch the side of my head. When nothing wet touches them, I swallow and sit up, only to have a hand weave into my hair and pull my head back.“ Was it sweet? ” The pair of grey eyes, intense and piercing, stare back at me.“ Huh? ” I blink again.“

Chapter 33

AVERY Anger bubbles to my head and I push at his chest harder, almost fighting to break free of his vice grip. For a moment, I think he won’t let me go and that thought sucks the soul out of me but with a delay of a second, his lips part from my immobile ones. Hungry for another touch, he tilts his head and dives in again but I turn my head away. My heart almost breaks out of my ribcages when his lips land on my neck, his hot breath fanning my sensitive skin. The muscles in my thighs clench as the ache grows. The need for a mate is an undeniable truth but…I can’t forget what he did to me, not once but repeatedly. Aleister grabs my hair and makes me face him again before leaning in towards me. “ Aleister. ” I whisper, my nose brushing his slightly. He pauses right above my lips, not moving an inch. Our eyes meet, and I see the lust and desire swirling sharply behind his dilated pupils. Maybe, I look the same, and that’s why he draws me closer again. “ No, I can’t. ” I add before

Chapter 34

AVERY“ You seem to be in a bad mood, Draven. What happened? ” I grin while walking ahead of the brooding man.I was surprised to find him waiting for me outside the throne room as if he was really serious about becoming my guard. But, at least, it’s amusing to see him following me everywhere like a shadow, all the while burning holes in my back with his eyes.“ Don’t push your luck too much. ” He scoffs after a small pause.I enter the hallway that leads to the main hall for the women and he is still behind me. “ Good for me, I don’t believe in luck. ” I hum, folding my hands in front of me and straightening my spine. “ It’s purely your luck that Leister took a liking to you and let you off the hook. ” He murmurs like a sulking child.I halt in front of the golden doors and turn around to face him. His brows lift to his forehead in a silent gesture for me to explain why I have suddenly stopped my dilly-dallying.I search his face for any hint of realization or awkwardness after cal

Chapter 35

AVERY My body grows heavy before my head and heart do. Unable to believe it, I shake my head repeatedly. “ I saw Amelia. Aleister said she is his half-sister and she is alive! ” “ That’s because Amelia’s mother ran away from the South before she was born. We didn’t find her for a long time and when Leister did, your brother made a deal to save her. ” He states, as a matter of fact, a bitter look crossing his eyes. A lump forms in my throat and for the first time, I am glad that Dustin protected Amelia and didn’t let Aleister kill her. She didn’t deserve to have a family like this. “ How did the previous King let Aleister kill his brothers? How does a father do that? ” I whisper. Why am I even surprised? Maybe, I was not expecting things to be the same here. Perhaps, I thought a strong Kingdom like the South would have people who didn’t lust for their family’s blood. “ Leister’s father? ” The bitterness in Draven’s eyes becomes full-blown hate, “ He killed two of his elder sons

Chapter 36

AVERY I have seen the darkness in life. A kind of darkness that can blind a person. I experienced it when Aleister locked me in that room but it didn’t scare me. The pitch-black darkness in front of my eyes now is far scarier than any of the previous encounters. I push my hand forward. The terrifying lack of light clings to it and in a moment, my arm disappears from my sight. Even the light behind me can not illuminate whatever this place is. Shaking my head, I quietly pull my hand back. Maybe, this is some twisted practice room for Aleister. It can be possible, given that I saw him manipulating the shadows in the throne room earlier. Every Lycan King has some inherited power and the control over darkness seems to be Aleister’s strength. All that detective work for nothing. I release a breath, turning around to leave before I get caught. Right when I manage to take a step forward, a faint voice sounds from the open door. My brows furrow. It can’t be possible for someone to be i

Chapter 37

ALEISTER She is looking at me like I am the worst monster alive. It does something to my heart, makes it ache inside my chest. I take a step ahead and look down at the blood tricking down her dress. I didn’t aim to hurt her like this. “ Daddy. ” Celia grips the hem of my shirt tightly. Anger penetrates the wall of guilt again. I should have known Avery wouldn’t sit still. But I would have never expected her to enter the portal. No one can, without authorization from me. It’s bound with the strongest of spells to be protected from anyone who tries to enter without my permission. So how did she even do it? “ Princess, let the King help her. Come here. ” Rosana says softly and separates Celia from me. “ Is she dying? ” She whispers. “ No, Princess. She is a Lycan like you. She won’t die. ” Rosana pats her head, clutching Celia to her chest. Cautiously, I approach Avery. “ I didn’t mean to do this. ” “ You—You didn’t mean to do what? Didn’t mean to stab me? ” She scoffs, her e

Chapter 38

AVERY I can feel myself growing dizzy. The worst that can happen in this situation is fainting. I don’t want that. I would hate to have someone tending to my wounds, such deep penetrative injury while I am out of my senses. It will bring back a sense of panic when I wake up. That’s why I stop struggling and not because I am afraid I will rub myself over him every time that I try to move away. Aleister keeps his one hand placed on the side of my waist, holding me down while the other works on digging into my flesh. Sharp pain stings my insides, but I keep quiet, focusing on the memories of the sea that was left behind, and the anger I feel towards Aleister. “ Just a little more. ” He repeats in a comforting tone. It’s like he is trying to tell me to hold on. Well, I don’t need that comfort after he did this to me. But, it’s not completely bad. His touch is soothing. At least, the destined sparks are. They overpower the pain, forcing me to focus on how my skin tingles under his

Chapter 39

AVERYAleister bends down, opens the drawer beside my dangling feet, and takes out a small towel from inside. With growing dizziness, I watch his fast movements and stern expression.Draven told me that Princesses are killed at birth but Aleister’s daughter is alive. This means he hid her at birth and must have kept her existence a secret from the Kingdom.Instead of filling me with a sense of satisfaction, this truth brings me discomfort. My heart aches for the little child who must have been locked up in that strange place since her birth because her father can’t afford to show her to anyone. I can relate to that but my situation was not this bad. Back at home, I was forced to stay inside the castle but could sneak out once in a while to enjoy freedom but Celia can’t even do that. On the other hand, here is her father. If killing Princesses is a tradition, I can tell it’s not easy to go against it. It must have taken a lot of painful effort to keep her alive.Some ice melts from m

Chapter 40

ALEISTER “ What’s wrong? ” I ask the Healer after he steps away from her. Earlier, when I was done wiping her body clean, she just fainted into my arms. This made me sure she was only pretending to be strong and not in pain when in reality, she is seriously hurt. “ The Princess is weak because of the blood loss. After some rest, she will recover fast. ” The Healer informs nervously, his gaze flickering towards Draven. “ That’s it? ” I cock my brow. “ Yes, My King. Princess will make it. ” He nods hurriedly. I can detect the fear in his eyes. He is wary of me, like all others in this kingdom. But I have never bothered to care about it before like I am doing right now. “ You can leave. ” I try to sound soft but my voice remains stoic and cold. The Healer gathers his stuff and rushes towards the door. Draven steps aside to give him way when he pauses suddenly. He turns to me. “ My King… ” Noticing the reluctance in his posture, I look at him. “ What is it? ” “ I don’t know i
