ã€ŠKING MICAH: World Beyond The Ruinsã€‹


 Chapter 1

    I had always longed for adventure. Papa use to say that would be the end of me if I kept Fantasizing about the world beyond the ruins but that never stopped me from dreaming.

    I sat with my legs hanging out the window from the ruined pce staring at the setting sun as snow lightly fell on the ground. I have been living in the ruins for almost ten years now, Mama and papa thought it would be more better to flee and hide away from those monsters as they say.

    I could still remember how they treat we humans, they treat us like we are below them, like trash. We were called Omegas, the weakest of them all. I sigh and turned around with my legs now inside the pce before jumping and walking down the hall. I had to get some vegetables that I nted out, in the garden before it gets dark.

    When I got outside I greet a few people with a wave and a smile. We use to be about one hundred and fifty people living in the ruins but now we are only about eighty. They all died from the cold and hungry and papa was among one of them.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    I wrapped my hands around myself and rubbed my shoulders trying to keep myself warm. My brown sweater had holes and them and was now thin and faded from constantly using them everyday for almost six years and my boots had worn out, bigger than my feet but at least it kept my feet warm.

    I quickly stepped inside the garden and sighed as my body became warm, I called it the enchanted garden. No matter how cold it is or how hot, the temperature here would remain the same-warm and nts grow really fast here.

    One of the older refuges, named Mr. cole, discovered the garden two years ago when he fled from the beasts world to live in the ruins. When the snow rained heavily and all our nts died from the cold. We all would have starved to death if not when Mr cole has brushed his hand against the snow, looking for what he would eat when he saw a single rose, covered under snow yet looking healthy and fresh. We then nted some maize and within a few days, we harvested them.

    Getting on my knees and pulling out some of the vegetables from my part of the garden, I dropped them in my basket thendust the snow that had gathered on my shoulders while dragging the basket back with me to the pce.

    ¡°Ma¡± I called when I opened the door to the room where mom and I are staying in.

    ¡°Lovette¡± mom mumbled from the bed, raising her head up and using her elbow to support herself as she offered me a smile.

    I dropped the vegetables at our¡­ Little kitchen before sauntering towards mom. I sat at the edge of the bed cing the back of my palm on her forehead checking her temperature.

    I frowned when I noticed that her temperature has increased and I swear, I could use it to warm water. ¡°You¡¯re getting Worst¡± I stated moving my hand towards her neck but she smack it away.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine¡± she said waving it off but I knew she was far from fine.

    My mom had a habit of doing that ¨C making a small deal out of something big. Just like how she said she was fine when dad died but I could hear herte night cries. Or when she said she was fine after giving me her nuts to eat just so I wouldn¡¯t go hungry but starve herself for days. Or when she said she¡¯s fine but coughs out blood every fucking day.

    She¡¯s definitely not fine.

    There was nothing I could do though, there wasn¡¯t any drugs here in the ruins not after ¡®our guy¡¯ was caught by the beast when he was trying to sneak out drugs from the castle.

    It was said that he was tortured to give out information as to where he was taking the drugs to but they gave up when he would not say a word and finally killed him. Not after cutting his tongue off for keeping silent.

    Mom took my hand in hers giving it a little squeeze, snapping me out of my thoughts and giving me a smile. I could only offer her a sad one in return as I gazed at her brown eyes that looked lifeless. Lifeless as in the brown in her eyes turning a pale gray just like her skin and her cheeks hallowed.

    I got up, moving towards the little space we call kitchen and preparing our dinner.

    I made sure ma finished her veggies before tucking her to bed for the night. Honestly, I felt like the parent-not that I amining.

    When I noticed that she was asleep, I climbed in my bed, pulling the cover over my body and cing my hand my stomach and joining my fingers together in form of a web thingy.

    I looked up at the ceiling, fantasizing about how it would be to be mated to a werewolf.

    Was it dumb of me to have such thoughts when we are literally ves to them? Yes. But does that stop me from fantasizing? Fuck no.

    After a few minutes of me day dreaming of how amazing it would be to literally have a soulmate, I drifted off to sleep.

    ~~~~~

    Boom!!

    I jerked up from sleep as the loud noise rang through the entire castle shaking it from it¡¯s foundation. The sound came again this time, apanied with growls and sneers making a few brick fall to the floor and the walls crack.

    I could here people shouting and screaming behind our door and I was confused. I fling the cover over my body and rushed over to mom side. I was surprised that she was still asleep with all the chaos going on around her.

    ¡°Ma¡± I said shaking her but he all she did was groan and I became annoyed.

    ¡°Get up. We have to go¡± I gritted out pulling the cover down.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± She asked, finally waking up as she sat on her bed.

    I moved back to my side, putting on my shoes and sweater. ¡°They are here mom, the beasts¡±

    Her eyes widen after those words and she hurriedly put on her shoes, not bothering to put on her sweater as it was already on her.

    I gave her a rag to clean the blood that was already dripping down from her nose.

    I held moms hand as we left the room, joining the people that were running for their lives through the emergency tunnel.

    I looked up at the dark bluish sky when we were all out of the castle and sighed in relief when there was no wolf in sight.

    ¡°We¡¯re safe¡± I said to mom as we all started to move towards the wood but I spoke too soon.

    Wolfs started running our way with the teeth snapping at us.

    Everyone scattered, the whole ce was chaos. Wolfs torn the fleshes of human, crys of pain and grief was in the sky. My breathing increased.

    I looked down at my hand to see that I was no longer holding on to moms hand. Where was she? I asked myself looking around in panic. Where the fuck was she?!

    A growl made me snap my head to the side when I saw a wolf running straight towards me. My eyes widen and it felt like it was in slow motion as it kept running towards me.

    I was paralyzed. I couldn¡¯t move.

    Was this how it would end for me? A twenty two year old torn to pieces who never got to see the world beyond the ruins?

    I mentally and physically prepared myself for the impact, the pain I would feel and hopefully, it would be a quick death.

    When it jumped up, it¡¯s mouth wide open ready to bite my head off but I was pushed to the side making whoever pushed me to take the pain and torture of the wolves bite for me.

    I fell to the blood covered snow with a thud. Half of my face and hands covered by the blood.

    When I looked at the person who had pushed me, I gasped and a cry left my lips.

    Mom was being torn to pieces. The wolf was without mercy at it bit into her skin, pulling the skin and devouring it.

    The beast turn towards me after it was done with mom and without wasting any time it opened it¡¯s wide mouth about to bite my leg but was pushed my another wolf.

    I could not focus on that as I crawled toward my mother¡¯s lifeless body. I held her head in my arms¡­ Crying, sobbing as I shook her but all she did was stare. Her eyes were lifeless-literally this time.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± I rasped out kissing the top of her head before closing her eyes.

    It was silent except for a few growls here and there. There was no cries of people-humans in pain. Nothing at all.

    I got to my feet with my head cast down. Slowly, I raised my head looking at my surrounding and biles raised to my mouth from the sight before me.

    There was blood everywhere. Dismounted bodies scattered on the snow covered ground. The wolves were all staring at me.

    I stumbled backwards when a very veryrge white wolf ambled towards me. When it was a out a feet away from me, it shifted-or rather he shifted.

    The man before me was beautiful. Even with the scar that ran down from his left eyebrow down to his cheek he was still fucking attractive but I should not be thinking of that.

    He killed my mother-I should not find him attracted.

    He killed my friend, my people-I should not want to be near this man with white hair and I had to tell myself that.

    ¡°I found you.. Mate¡± He breathed bringing his hand to cup my cheeks but i snapped my head backwards.

    ¡°I would never be yours¡± I said breathing harshly while ring at him.

 Chapter 2

    Did I say that my heart skiped a beat when he called me mate? Well yeah, but that doesn¡¯t matter.

    Everyone started shifting back to their human form and I looked at all of them, not caring that they were naked.

    ¡°Mate¡± the man before me said and I snapped my head back to him, giving him the most disgusted look I could muster.

    ¡°Do note closer¡± I turned my head around, looking for a way out, to escape this beasts. I could not leave my mother¡¯s body out here without giving her a proper burial but¡­ She would understand right?

    ¡°Do not try¡± The man said with a growl when he noticed my n but before he could grab my arm, I was already running for the woods.

    I stepped flesh, blood, I almost puked but I had to keep going. I could hear his growl behind me, chasing after me.

    I was a panting mess, my hands were cold and my legs wants to give out but I kept on pushing. I felt like the beast behind me was just giving me the chance to run, he loved the game. He was the Predator and I the prey after all, the prize to be imed and he was enjoying the chase.

    The trees around me were like a blur as my legs carried me through the forest. It felt like I have been running for hours and i could no longer hear the wolf chasing me. I was relieved to have lost the man and when I was about to rest beside the icedke, my legs gave out and I was tackled to the big white wolf.

    It¡¯s weight was crushing me and I gasped and whimpered in pain. It brought out its tongue, licking the side of my face and I turned my head to the side, closing my eyes and smacking my lips in a firm line so it¡¯s saliva would not get in my mouth.

    When I could no longer bare the pain of the wolf on top of me, I had to voice it out. ¡°You¡¯re crushing me¡± I said to him with my palmying t underneath it¡¯s stomach.

    He started shifting back to his human form and let me tell you, it was not a pleasant sight to see up close.

    ¡°Why were you running away from me mate?¡± He asked in a husky voice with his face in my neck inhaling my scent and smoothing my hair. I had to take in a quick breath from the gesture.

    ¡°You took my Family away from me¡± I said and it was then that I realized who was before me-ontop of me. I pushed at his hard chest but he would not move.

    ¡°Move¡± I gritted out as tears welled up in my eyes and he looked sad.

    ¡°Do not cry mate, I¡¯m sorry..¡± He whispered, getting up and dragging him with me. ¡°If only I had knew my soul was here, I would not have attacked¡± he added drawing me closer to his chest and hugging me tight.

    I cried into his chest, I cried into the chest of the man who had murdered my people, my ma.

    ¡°Wh-who are you?¡± I asked him, slightly pulling away from his to look at him face. His gray eyes stared into my brown ones before he said his name. ¡°Micah. I am King Micah¡±

    I gasped in fright and pulled away from the man, the king and stumbled backwards.

    ¡°N-no¡± I stammered as I kept on taking a few feets backwards.

    King Micah, the man whom everyone is afraid of, the man who kills without mercy- the white wolf. Of course! How did I not see it? I asked myself.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of me love¡± The king said as he took a step closer to me while I took some backwards.

    ¡°You¡¯ll kill me!¡± I shouted now walking on the frozen ice.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°No don¡¯t!¡± King Micah shouted and I jumped back in fright making the ice underneath my feet crake.

    I gulped and looked down at the frozen river, I never knew I was this far in and I stayed frozen in my ce, afraid that the ice might give out underneath me.

    I looked up at the King in panic also to see that he was as confused, ¡°Don¡¯t move¡± He whispered and I nodded afraid that any movement I make will make the ice give out.

    He slowly stretched out his hand towards me, nodding his head in a way that says I should take it. Slowly, I stretched mine to his hand he held my hand before drawing me close to him and hugging me.

    I closed my eyes, my heart beating fast against my chest that we might just fall into the ice cold water and be frozen to death but after a few seconds, I released a breath and opened my eyes then let out a short nervousugh.

    When I peaked behind me, I saw that a few of the kings men (and woman) were already at the edge of the river, fully clothed and waiting for us.

    ¡°Now slowly move with me¡± the king whispered in my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts and I nodded, holding on to his shoulders as he walked backwards while i walked forward.

    The ice cracked a bit and I suck in a quick breath as we stopped, the hold I had on is shoulders tightening but he does not seem to mind.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± I screamed when the ice finally cracked and we fell into the water. I let go of the king as I tried to swim up for air but it was like a heavy weight was pulling me down.

    I could no longer find the hole we fell from so I started hitting at the ice above me with a the strength I had. The sharp edges from the ice were cutting into my palm and knuckles making blood spill out, mixing with the water but that was the least of my problems.

    I was running out of air.

    I screamed when there was no air left in my lungs and my body became weak. I gasped, making water rush into my lungs and soon, I was sinking deeper and deeper. My vision became blurry and my body became weightless.

    A huge figure was swimming towards me, from the tingles in felt, I knew it was him . He held me by the waist as he swims up with me.

    I was dropped on the snow, by the edge of the river and I turned to my right side and started coughing out water and gasping for air.

    I fell with my back on the snow, panting and gasping. The man who¡¯s hand was on my cheeks eyes were glowing a bright golden and his white hair were clinging to his cheeks and neck.

    ¡°I¡¯m d you¡¯re okay mate¡± he said smiling down at me.

    ¡°Lovette, my name is Lovette¡± I muttered before my vision became blurry and everything turned ck.

 Chapter 3

    I woke up on a veryfortable thingy that felt like it was moving. My eyes hurt as I tried opening them and when I finally did, my vision were a little blurry but I knew it was from staying under the cold water for that long.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.

    I looked around and saw that I was in a car, a moving car and I gasp in amazement. This was the first time I have ever seen and been such a beautiful and clean car. The ones in the ruins were old, Rusty and not working. I used to y in them when I was a kid, ying hide and seek with my other friends and that was the perfect spot to hide but now, I¡¯m actually sitting in one that actually works.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake,¡± The King¡¯s voice sounded from behind me and I turned to him looking at me.

    He gazed at me with love and adoration and I knew why. Of course I heard stories of the Mighty King Micah, the only man to have ever lived for such a long time, for more than 700 years.

    It is known that every wolf was blessed with a soul-mate, their other half except the King and that was why he became brutal, ming their god the moon goddess for creating him without one.

    ¡°Lovette¡± He called again but I only spare him a nce before staring out the car window.

    After being in the car for up to three hours with both I and King Micah being silent ¨C sometimes just staring at each other, I noticed how the trees became greener and the grass had more life to them. It has been long Ist saw such beautiful greens because in the ruins, everything was cold-dead. After a few minutes of staring at the green natures, I looked ahead through the drivers seat and a beautiful castle came in view.

    ¡°Wow¡± I gawked cing my hands on the car window to get a better view. I parted my lips softly as we approached the rusting gates of the caged royal walls made of pure concrete and bricks.

    I probably look like a child who was just given their first Christmas gift, excited to see what¡¯s in it and y with it, but this scene ¨C this scene was nothing I¡¯ve ever imagined to witness ever in my life.

    The King chuckled at the other side,ing to sit next to me and ce his hand on my shoulder but I was to mesmerized by the scene before me to care but still, I tensed up a little.

    ¡°Do you like it?¡± He asked in a whisper, his hot breath fanning my neck and making goosebumps appear on my skin. I take in a breath and nodded shaking, ¡°Yes¡­ It¡¯s quite beautiful¡± I mumbled and the king hummed before giving me a little space and I released a breath.

    The gates were opened and I finally got to see how the castle was like on the inside. The castle was incredible, breathtaking. Everything about the castle grounds screamed fantasy and royalty and suddenly, I felt out of ce.

    Everyone looked chic and rich, well-feed and in beautiful clothing ms save for some who were working and I could tell that they were humans.

    The car finally stopped and the door was pushed open. I got out and turned around, looking at the castle one more time before my eyesnded on the man who wouldn¡¯t stop looking at me.

    He sauntered towards me with his hands in his ck pants. I stood there, rocking on the ball of my feet and awkwardly cing my hands at my side.

    ¡°Come¡± he said, removing his right hand from his pants and putting it infront of me, waiting for me to ept it but all I did was look at the hand, then at his face before walking up the stairs that leads to the inside of the castle.

    ¡°What did I do to make you hate me so much?¡± He asked jogging to me at the stairs and I stopped, my eyes twitching.

    ¡°What did you do?¡± I asked and scoffed, taking a step close to him. ¡°My family and friends areying on the cold ground in pieces¡± I rasped poking his chest with my index finger.

    ¡°My mother is there on the floorying in her own blood all alone and I never got to even give her a proper burial!!¡± I yelled at his face and a few heads turned out way and when they saw that the King was whom I was speaking to, they lowered their heads to the ground and mind their business.

    Tears had now gathered in my eyes, threatening to spill but I kept them in. The scene of how mom died kept ying in my head like a broken record, repeating itself, taunting and telling me of how I could have saved her life if only I was faster, not just standing there like a log.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lovette, I really am but I am a king, I had to do what had to be done. They broke a rule and that was the consequences of their actions.¡± He muttered running his hand over his face and released a sigh.

    I gave him a nod and a tear fell from the action. I quickly wiped it away and continued my journey up the stairs even if I do not know where I¡¯m going.

    I could hear the king call someone from below me and ady joins me at my side and I stopped again, also using the opportunity to rest because God, this damn stairs seems to go on forever.

    ¡°The King has ordered me to show you to your sleeping chamber¡± She said emotionlessly and bowed. I could tell she was human for she looked fragile unlike how the other beasts looked, Healthy.

    ¡°You no not need to bow¡± I told her when she raised her head a bit but her eyes were still staring at her shoes.

    ¡°His majesty would be angry¡± she murmured and I sighed nodded my head for I knew nothing would change her mind. It was already something that was drillee to their head.

    We walk down the halls and soon we got to our destination. The door was pushed open by the maid and I gasped at the size and beauty of the room.

    The room was covered in gray silk and ck woody furnitures, our footsteps thundered against the wooden floor as we walked deeper into the room.

    ¡°The curtains areced with magic, keeping the cold out and the room a designed temperature¡± she said motioning to the gray curtains that covered the ceiling high windows.

    ¡°Here is the bathroom¡± she mumbled pushing the door open and I was amazed at the size of the bathroom. Here I was thinking that the pce in the ruins had the best bathrooms but this beats it a hundred times.

    ¡°And finally,¡± She says walking forward while I trailed behind her. She pushed another door at the right revealing a¡­

    ¡°Spring bath?¡± I asked and she said at the same time. We both looked at each other and chuckled. Her eyes lit up a little when sheughed making her beautiful featurese to life.

    ¡°I would leave it to you then, Mdy¡± She bowed before turning around and when she was at the door about to leave, I called out to her.

    ¡°Wait!¡± I said and she stopped turning her head and waiting for whatever task I had for her but that wasn¡¯t the case. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± I asked her and she smiled a little.

    ¡°My name is Fallon¡± She murmured and bowed before closing the door behind her.

    I smiled a little at that and I was happy that I had made a friend here.

 Chapter 4

    The hot spring water felt amazing against my skin. Yes, I decided to bath in it and I just couldn¡¯t resist-it felt like it was calling me and I did my body a good thing by not ignoring it.

    My dirty clothes are sitting by the edge of the pool ¡°Fuck, this feels good¡± I mumbled to myself sinking deeper in the warm water.

    ¡°It does¡± Said a familiar voice and I yelp with my eyes widen and my heart beating roughly against my chest as i turned around to see who the intruder was while covering my breast with my arms.

    ¡°Wh-what are you doing?¡± I stammered as the king kept walking closer to the pool while taking off his clothes.

    ¡°Taking a bath¡± he said entering the pool. ¡°You can¡¯t do that, it¡¯s upied¡± I muttered moving backwards.

    ¡°I can,¡± he replied swimming towards me while I moved back now at the edge of the pool. ¡°And I will¡± He finished now chest to chest to me.

    ¡°You are a stranger to me¡± I whispered breathlessly as he took the hands that were covering my chest and ced them at my sides.

    ¡°You are my mate¡± he defended pushing my wet red hair behind my ear, his eyes not once wondering to my chest that were now visible underneath the crystal clear water. ¡°And how do I know if that is true?¡± I asked him.

    He took my left hand and ced it on his left cheek. My fingers ran across his scar that was a bright red color like that of an unhealed wound.

    ¡°Do you no feel it?¡± He asked and I did.

    I felt the sparks and tingling under my finger tips travelng through my vains and nerves making a warm feeling appear in my chest.

    ¡°I do¡± I whispered. I could feel the air around us change and he slightly inched his head closer to mine.

    My fingers wrapped around his neck and I parted my lips, inviting his kiss. When his lips touched mine I realized what I was doing. I was sharing my first kiss what a man who murdered my people, the same teeth that were biting and turking my bottom lip has also biten into the flesh of people I know, people I grew up with.

    I pushed him away swimming to the edge where my clothesid and not caring that my bottom was on disy for the king.

    Before I could get to my clothes, he grabbed my arm and turned me towards him, my naked breast now out of the water pressed against his hard chest.

    ¡°Let go¡± I gritted out with tears now in my eyes and I am not sure if he can see it because there are still droplets of water on my face and eyshes.

    He seems to see the tears and his eyes were filled with worry. His left arm wrapped around my waist pulling me closer to him to the point where I could feel his manhood poking my stomach.

    ¡°Why do you keep running away from me?¡± He asked and I scoffed at that. ¡°Least you forget, your beasts, you murdered the people I once knew and loved.¡± I rasped out, poking his chest with my right index finger.

    ¡°In fact, I was unable to give my mother a proper burial!¡± I screamed now pushing at his chest with my palms but he wouldn¡¯t bulge which annoyed the fuck out of me.

    ¡°You ran away from me this morning before I could exin,¡± He said and I could tell her was getting annoyed. He had no right to be annoyed, I am the victim here.

    ¡°I sent my men to raid the ce before I got there¡­ And when I got to the ruins I smelt you, my wolf felt you were there.¡± He whispered with a sigh, running his palm across his face.

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t stop the battle because it was already toote. I was only able to save you¡± He finished and my anger deted¡­ Just a little.

    ¡°But my mom¡± I murmured with a shaky voice and my hands covering my face.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I was unable to save her¡± He said nonchntly so I knew he wasn¡¯t sorry. ¡°But I did give her a burial after you passed out¡±

    I was grateful that he gave her a burial but was I ready to live with such a man? I had always fantasize about this, how it would feel to be mated to a wolf and my dreams were finallying through.

    Yes-he did what had to be done because he was a king even though it meant that I had to lose the family I once had. My head and heart are torn and I do not know which option to choose from.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.

    Follow my heart that want to be with him or follow my head that says I should stay angry with him. I went with the former because let¡¯s be truthful here, I am attracted to him.

    ¡°Thank you¡± I said after a few minutes bringing my head up to look into his gray captivating eyes.

    I licked my lips slowly and his eyes gazed down watching the action. I knew what I was doing-I had always been naughty but no one knew that.

    Mom had always been religious, makes us pray every morning and night and always tells me that things such as masturbating or even having sex with a wolf was a sin against God.

    It¡¯s sad that I never listen to any of her words. I pretended to follow all she taught me-giving her the illusion that I was the perfect religious daughter she had but at night when she was asleep, I would lower my hands into my pants and fantasize about how it would be mated to a wolf and finally, my dreams wereing true.

    I me it all on Mr Cole. Ever since he would tell us stories of how mates never cheat on each other or always stay together no matter what, I had always dreamed about how it would be to be in that position even though in a million years I never expected it to happen.

    His head lowered and when his lips finally met mine, I parted my lips and let his tongue explore mine. It felt amazing it felt just like how I had imagined it all those nights. I ran my shaky hand across his chest mentally counting all the scars my fingers came across. Thirteen.

    His lips shifted to my neck and I inhale when his canine dragged across the skin. Was he going to mark me? I have heard stories of how amazing it felt. ¡°Do you forgive me? Will you ept to be my mate?¡± He asked and I choked out a ¡°Yes¡±

    He stopped, pulling away from me and looking into my eyes ¡°I will only mark you when I know you love me¡± He whispered still staring deeply at me.

    I had no answer to that but the questions that came to my mind was can I love him or do I just want to use him to fill up my fucked up fantasies?

 Chapter 5

    Micah soon left after I kept silent when he said those words. I took a towel from the bathroom drying up my body before entering the room. I wondered what I would wear and surely, I couldn¡¯t put on my dirty clothes that had the stains of my mothers blood on it. I was grateful to see some clothesying neatly on the bed and quickly put on the blue shirt.

    I had the trouser half way through my ass when the door was pushed open making me snap my head towards the intruder. The same girl from earlier came in with a tray of food in her hands and when she looked up, she noticed me struggling to fit my ass in the pants and quickly look at her feet with a blush coating her cheeks and neck.

    ¡°Come in¡± I mumbled sarcastically and with a huff I zipped up the zipper at the front of the pant.

    ¡°Sorry¡± Fallon murmured in a whisper as she shift on her right hips.

    I looked over to the tray that was sitting on the coffee table and picked up the warm bread and shove it in my mouth.

    I never knew I was this hungry until I took another bite humming to myself. I cast a nce at Fallon who stood with her back hunched staring at a stain on the floor.

    ¡°Would you like some?¡± I asked her with a piece of bread stretched towards her. She looked at the food in my hand before swallowing down saliva.

    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t¡± She whispered tucking her brown hair behind her ear.

    ¡°Well, I insist¡± I urged while sitting on the bedfortably.

    She cast a nce at the door having an initial battle with herself and with a sigh and hesitation she took the bread from my hand and ate the food in a rush.

    ¡°Have some more¡± I motioned to the food which consisted of about eleven pieces of bread, a ss of milk and water and some scrambled eggs.

    She moved timidly and sat on the floor and I frowned at that. ¡°You can sit on the bed¡± I mumbled and she blushed.

    ¡°Alpha King wouldn¡¯t want my scent on his bed¡±

    I shrugged as well both continue eating. We talked as we ate and I learned that she has been working in the castle since she was ten and we were both the same age. She has a younger brother of eighteen who works in the farm and both her parents were dead.

    I was happy that she wasfortable enough to open up to me and I felt like we would be good friends.

    ¡°So where are we going?¡± I asked Fallon as we exit the room.

    ¡°The King hasmanded I show you around the castle¡± She mumbled ttening her hand on her orange colored gown.

    I hummed as she showed me around. I wasn¡¯t really interested at the things she points out. I have been in a castle literally half of my life although the castle here is far bigger and fantasy like than the one in the ruins I do not see a difference because everything are just long damn halls.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    Something caught my eyes though and I cut off Fallons mumbling my grasping her arm making her halt.

    ¡°Who are they?¡± I asked pointing at therge frame hanging on the wall for all to see when they pass by.

    ¡°Their Majesty King Elijah and Queen Celeste¡± She muttered pointing at their names that were written ot the bottom of their pictures.

    I had seen a picture quite simr to this but couldn¡¯t make out their faces because they¡¯ve faded over time.

    I¡¯ve heard stories about them. How they ruled only their people and hid from the prying eyes of humans before a war broke out revealing the beasts they are.

    Although they never never took over the world, their son did making half of the world submit to him.

    ¡°We should go¡± Fallon said after a while of staring at their pictures.

    I noticed how a few maids were rushing with dishes and decorating materials.

    ¡°Is there a party?¡± I asked turning my head sideways to nce at the blue eye female beside me.

    She blinked at me slowly before muttering a ¡°No¡±

    ¡°Oh¡± I whispered dryly.

    My curiosity got the best of me when two men carried two silver cups and wine. ¡°The witches and the beasts are about to sign a treaty and be allies once again¡± She said with one brow perfectly crocked up at me.

    ¡°I thought they did that a long time ago¡± I mumbled more to myself but it seems Fallon thought I was talking to her.

    Sheughed like I was crazy, wiping the tears that had gathered in her eyes while I gave her a dry look.

    ¡°Do you live under a rock?¡± She asked before pping her hands over her mouth and looked around in case someone heard her. ¡°Sorry¡±

    ¡°No it¡¯s okay¡± I told her waving my hand and giving her a grin. Her shoulders rxed and we continued walking.

    ¡°The war never ended. The beasts and witches were at war since the Alpha kings¡¯ father betrayed them but hopefully, it ends today¡± She sighed.

    In silence we walked but stopped when someone called Fallon¡¯s name. We both turned around to see who it was.

    From the height and elegant clothing the female was putting on, I knew she was one of the wolves.

    Fallon lowered her head when the woman approached us in fright. ¡°I asked of you two hours ago when have you been?¡± She sneered spit flying out of her mouth.

    ¡°S-sorry Madam Cleona, the Kingmanded I s-show his mate around¡± She stammered gesturing to me with her hand. Cleona¡¯s eyes moved towards me and she rolled them before they snap back to Fallon.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care, nowe, I need you to bath me¡± And with that she turned around swaying her hips as she walked.

    ¡°Sorry madam Lovette, I have to go¡± She muttered with her eyes casted down and I frowned at that.

    ¡°Fallon!!!¡± Cleona yelled making us whine at how loud her voice was.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± I said giving her a small smile even though she couldn¡¯t see it.

    She ran catching up with the woman while I was left alone. I continued on with walking around and noticed how dark it has gotten outside.

    ¡°Fuck¡± I cussed under my breath and turned around trying to find my way back to the Kings chamber.

    It seems like I was walking down the wrong hall but continued when I heardughter. There was no one in sight and the only noise around me was from that of my shoe that hits on tie ground and the voices of men and womenughing and talking.

    The door before me was quite huge and through the cracks a yellow light was shining from the light in the room.

    I peeped through one of the holes and saw a bunch of people feasting. I looked at each faces in the room but stopped when I noticed a man producing a dagger out of his bag.

    He held hatred in his eyes as he red at the king and right before my eyes as Micah drank from his cup, the dagger went straight to his chest.

 Chapter 6

    The man who threw the dagger jump on the table and pushed the door open. ¡°Catch him!¡± Someone yelled as I stumbled back, falling t on my butt.

    I crawled to the wall side so as to not me stepped on as the beasts chased after the man.

    I took in deep breaths, calming my racing heart before getting up while using the wall to support my weight. The door was wide open as I stood at the middle searching for the King.

    Is he dead? I asked myself and my heart clenched at the thought but I shook it out.

    The king is immortal. Lived for more than 700 years.

    His people surrounded him as I took cautious steps. His glowing golden eyes snapped to my figure making me stop.

    His men (and women) surrounding him all shifted to the sides giving me the view of the dagger that was stuck in the middle of his chest.

    I gasped in horror and stumbled forward with my hands over my mouth.

    ¡°Are you OK?¡± I asked cing my hands on his shoulder. He gave me a look and even i knew that it was a dumb question.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    Obviously he isn¡¯t OK.

    ck blood kept gushing out, staining his blue shirt. as he tried pulling the red snake-loke dagger only for it to struck right back.

    The King gasped with sweat forming on his head and skin turning a pale white.

    ¡°Stop¡± I whispered shakily cing my hand on his blooded one that still held the wooden handle of the dagger.

    ¡°The dagger has been cursed!¡± Said a female voice and everyone started murmuring. I paid no mind to them, only focusing on Micah.

    His eyes were dropping slowly and I knew that soon he would pass out.

    ¡°He needs a doctor!¡± I snap to the people around me and everyone became quite.

    ¡°No. No,¡± Micah slurred as I pushed his upper body gently to rest on the chair. ¡°¡­ Call Devina¡± He finished before his body went still.

    Everyone jumped into action, some carrying the King to ou-his room whilenthe rest going to find¡­ Who this Devina is.

    My heart beat loudly in the chest to the point where I could literally hear them.

    I feared for the kings life even though I shouldn¡¯t but I do.

    I sat beside him on the bed and if I listen closely, I could hear his shallowed breathing.

    The door burst open and a woman walked in clothed in a green gown with her head raised high. Her blonde hair was adored with colored beads and cowries.

    She sat at the left side of the King, opposite me only giving me a nce before returning her focus back to the King.

    Ate they lovers? I thought before snapping my face back to the king who made a painful grunt.

    She took out a scissor from her brown and the man standing beside her ced his hand on her shoulder.

    ¡°Hurt him and you die¡± He growled out with a re on hia face.

    ¡°I would never¡± Devina muttered matching his re while jerking away from his touch.

    She cuts his cloth open and we all gasps at the sight.

    It looks like the King has been struck by ck lightening but that wasn¡¯t the case because ck lightening doesn¡¯t even exist and what was before us was far more worst than that.

    ck vain like branches spread out from where the dagger was imbed in his chest to his neck and mid stomach.

    I shifted on the bed to take a look closer look with my hand stretched out and touched the red dagger only to jump back in fear, falling on my ass¡­ Again as the snake like dagger turned into a life snake.

    Everyone kept quiet, some shifting towards the door trying to make a run for it when things go down the hill.

    The red snake hissed at me and I hold my breath. My hands shake as I grabbed on to the rug on the ground for dear life.

    It¡¯s red eyes red into mine as we were only an inch apart. How the snake was long enough to reach me here on the ground, at least five feet away from the bed I had no idea but of course, this was seary after all.

    I screamed using my hands to protect my face when it mouth opened and ready to strike me to death.

    Death. Oh My God, I am going to die.

    The snake could no longer reach me when it started to shorten in length, it¡¯s mouth still opened as it turned into the wooden dagger once more.

    I was breathing heavily and still shaking from what just happened. I thought I was going to die.

    ¡°Don¡¯t ever do that!¡± Said Devina as she stood above me while sending me a skull crushing re.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know¡± I gritted out referring to the dagger turning into a god damn snake as I tried standing up.

    She rolled her eyes before going to back to sit next to my mate. I noticed that ashes were spread on the snake and on Micah¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Are you even a doctor?¡± I asked while narrowing my eyes at the dagger as I came to stand next to Devina.

    ¡°No I¡¯m a witch¡± Devina answered pulling out some herbs from her bag.

    I was about to call the guards on her before remembering that the King had requested for her so surely he must trust her. Or love her.

    Okay, where the hell are this thoughtsing from?.

    She grinds them together in her small mortal, mixing in some portion¡­ Thing I guess?

    She rubs the finished products on her hands before rubbing some on a knife she brought out of her bag.

    How the hell did she fit all those in one small bag?

    She took in deep breaths while I moved backwards already knowing what she ns on doing.

    In a swift motion she grabbed the now life snake in her hand that jerks to all sides trying to free itself from her grasp.

    She started whispering words in a differentnguage making the knife glow a bright purple color before cutting the snake in half.

 Chapter 7

    It took two days before Micah finally woke up. I never once left his side while he slept through the days.

    Today was the third day and the King was holding a meeting with the council members and other ranking members.

    Micah had asked me earlier this morning to apany him to the days meeting and I agreed.

    We both walked into the big ass counsel room and everyone kept silent as the king strolled him. If one is to look closely, you would notice the limp when he walks.

    He sat on his chair and I was confused, where would I sit? There was no chair next to him and all thr other chairs has been upied.

    Micah also noticed that there were no empty seats so he pulled me by my waist and Inded on hisp.

    I gasped in surprise and other cleared their throat pretending to not have noticed what just happened. I tried getting up but Micah wasn¡¯t having it. He¡¯s wounded and I do not need to add to his pain.

    I sighed after trying a couple of times and rested my back to his chest. I jerked forward when he hissed and I remembered he is still wounded.

    Doesn¡¯t he deserve it? A deeper darker part of me thought.

    A blinked a couple of times but unconsciously, I agreed with myself. Maybe the things he had done and did to me was finally catching up to him.

    I kept on zoning in and out of what they said untill something¡­ Or rather, someone caught my attention.

    I watched as she walked from where she was standing against the wall with other servant, her hips swaying as she did. She stopped next to the king and filled up his empty cup with wine.

    I met her eyes for a moment before my eyes lowered to her cleavage and my body heated up. I stilled and then asked myself-what am I doing?

    I clenched my thighs together as the image of her swaying hips and breast stayed in my head, repeating itself over and over like a God damn broken record.

    Closing my eyes and taking in deep breaths, the feeling still didn¡¯t go away so I squirm ufortably on Micah¡¯sp.

    It is known that the beasts have heightened senses and could smell/detect the slightest smell which brings us to this topic.

    I can feel him. I could feel him growing underneath me. I know he can smell my arousal and he probably thought I was all hot and bothered because of him but nooo, the reason for my arousal is because of the woman who was just about eleven foot away from me.

    I shouldn¡¯t feel such things but I couldn¡¯t help it. I have never thought of myself being sexually involved with a woman so where were all¡­ Thising from?

    I took in a sharp breath when Elijah¡¯s erection pokes at my butt. I looked around to see if anyone noticed but it¡¯s stupid of me to actually think they wouldn¡¯t notice save for the humans who were clueless as to what was going on.

    They were Beasts after all.

    Micah pushed me gently into his chest, aghast of the wound in his chest.

    I sighed in pure bliss when his lips touched my neck but suddenly remembered that we weren¡¯t the only ones in the room. I shift ufortably and in the process grinding against him.

    He grunt and I groaned, pressing my thighs together once more. I blushed heavily when I saw that all eyes were on us. I cleared my throat and distance myself from Micah (Not that I could do much since he still has his arms wrapped around my waist).

    Micah seems to have noticed that we weren¡¯t the only ones in the room and well, stopped what we were doing and continued with the meeting.

    ¡°Who would be taking over when you¡¯re away?¡± Said a man with a heavily dyed Red hair and green eyes and I wondered how I had not noticed the shinning red head amongst the other hairs.

    Maybe because you were too busy checking out Fallon and grinding against your mate! Inner me said with a snicker.

    I suddenly remembered what red hair said and I turned sideways to look at Micah¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯re leaving the Castle?¡±

    ¡°Yes¡± Micah replied with a brow raised. ¡°Did you not listen to what we¡¯ve been saying?¡± He asked and I blushed.

    ¡°No¡± I muttered and then shrugged. The men in the room stifled augh and Micah chuckled.

    ¡°Will tell you allter¡± he murmured next to my ear and i hummed in replied.

    ¡°Beta Derek will be in charge of the castle while I am gone¡± Micah replied the red head man.

    ¡°But his mate has just put to bed and he has to¡­¡± And older man said but before he could finish talking, Micah released a sigh/growl.

    ¡°Delta Leonardo will be in charge then¡± Micah said using his right hand to point to the Red head.

    Leonardo beamed at that and bows a little in respect or honor to the king.

    Soon, the conversations shifted to a new topic about a human town who were rebelling agaisnt the wolves and for the second time, my eyes met with Fallon¡¯s before we both look away.

    The meeting came to an end after an hour. Micah and I walked to his wing and immediately the door was pushed closed, he turned me around andtch his lips on mine.

    I pulled away and looked up at him with a frown and fold my arms.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He asked me while pushing his white locks away from his eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m still trying to get use to all¡­ This¡± I sighed, drawing my palm across my face and walking towards the bed.

    I sat on it and bounced a little from it¡¯s softness. Micah came and sat next to me and sighed. He pulled me by my shoulder towards him and sighed once more.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± He apologized already know what I was talking about. ¡°If I could change the past I would but I can¡¯t¡± He mumbled thest part lowly.

    Everything came hitting me like a ton of bricks. I wasn¡¯t even able to mourn the death of my mother.

    A sob broke out of me and Micah¡¯s hold around my shoulders tighten.

    ¡°Don¡¯t cry little wolf¡± He pled, cupping my chin and turning my head in his direction.

    His gray eyes were filled with worry and secerity. I closed my eyes for a minute, taking in deep breaths and finally came with a conclusion.

    I opened my eyes and gave him a nod. His eyes lit up and a smile broke out on his lips.

    We both knew what the nod meant. I am will to try and I forgive him.

    Hesitantly he brings his lips down on mine and kissed me. The kiss was anything but sexual. It was more of a promise, a promise to make this right- to make us right.

    But will it ever happen? I asked myself. I know I¡¯ve said I forgive him a couple of times but do I really mean it?

    No. No. No. I forgive him. I want to be with him, I want to make us work.

    Now I ask myself again; I¡¯m I really doing this to make us work or to fulfill my fantasies?

    We broke from the kiss and I smiled at him. I suddenly remembered that he would be leaving soon.

    Maybe to raid a human settlement.

    I blocked out those thoughts, I won¡¯t feast on them.

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± I asked him. He ran his fingers through his hair and I could see how tired he was.

    ¡°You know the dagger was cursed right?¡± He asked giving me a pointed look. I nodded.

    ¡°And you know that I am immortal right?¡± He asked me like I was a child who doesn¡¯t know that the ¡®Great King Micah¡¯ is an immortal being. I scowled and red at him while heughed, throwing hia head back abd I couldn¡¯t help but smile a little.

    After a minute he continued. ¡°Turns out the dagger could kill me¡± He said and paused a minute before he continued. ¡°It will kill me if I don¡¯t get the antidote within three months¡±.

    I gasped at that and he looked at me with a sad smile. ¡°I was lucky that it missed my heart or I would be dead by now¡±

    We were both silent after he said those words, both lost in our thoughts before I decided to ask him. ¡°What¡¯s the antidote to the poison?¡±

    He looked at me, unblinking and said ¡°The blood of the dragon King¡±This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.

 Chapter 8

    Later that evening, Davina came to i and Micah¡¯s room and then applied some strange substance on his chest and also gave him some portion to take and apply on his chest for his journey.

    We¡¯re currently standing outside the castle. Micah¡¯s hand was holding mine as well watched his men gather around. When they werepleted, he faced me and pressed a kiss on my head.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon¡± he promised, giving my hand a light squeeze before letting go. He walked towards his men who were facing him and they took off their clothes.

    It is known that the beasts do not care about their nudity but I still can¡¯t my gaze to the ground but when I looked back up, everyone were watching so I took it as a normal thing.

    The deafening sound of men grunting and bones snapping in and out of ces made me wince. God, that would hurt like a fuker.

    Soon, the sound of bones breaking and reforming stopped and I watched in fascination as their legs turned into limbs, fingers turning into paws and their faces lengthen and a snot formed on their face.

    Even the smallest wolf among them was half my height and thergest being Micah was taller than me.

    My eyes were still on Micah¡¯s white beast and when he raised his head to look at me, I was met with a glowing golden eyes.

    He released a howl and the gates were pushed open. They all ran and I watched till their beasts were no longer visible as they entered the forest.

    I had wondered why they didn¡¯t take a car or a horse but Micah exined that a car couldn¡¯t reach the high mountains and a horse would only slow them down.

    A heavy sigh fell from my lips and I turned around, walked through the halls and climbed up the stairs to the King¡¯s wing.

    When I got to the room, I flopped down on the couch with my face pressingzily on it. I stared at nothing and everything for what felt like hours before a knock sounded on the door and it opened.

    I turned my face down to look at who it was and my breath hitched when she strolled in.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    I blinked a couple of times and took in a deep breath when my heart started running a marathon in my chest.

    I made a promise. A promise to try and I am going to do just that. Try.

    A tray filled with food was ced on the coffee table and my mouth water at the sight and smell of the delicious food.

    I have never seen or tasted such a food but if I could tell it was spaghetti. Dad use to describe different kinds of food to me, ones we never had the prevge of tasting in the ruins.

    My stomach growled at the thought of of glorious it would taste and I instantly drew the food closer to me. I took a spoon full and shoved it in my mouth not minding it was hot.

    I moaned with my eyes closed when it¡¯s deliciousness assaulted my taste bud. When I opened my eyes, Fallon was staring at me.

    I swallowed and shift ufortably in my seat. ¡°Join me?¡± I asked her but she shook her head and I rolled my eyes.

    I pat the seat next to me but she sat on the floor like she did the first time I met her. I gave her my fork and she rolled the spaghetti on it and puts it in her mouth.

    ¡°Hmm¡± Her eyes closed as she chewed and when she opened her eyes, she gave me a grin. ¡°So this is how spaghetti tastes like¡± She whispered giving me a I was shocked.

    ¡°You¡¯ve never had spaghetti?¡± I asked and she shook her head.

    I had assumed that since she lived in the castle she would have at least tasted half of what I haven¡¯t but I guess I was wrong.

    ¡°Only the Beasts are allowed to have such food¡± She pout and sighed before taking another another bite.

    ¡°Now, don¡¯t finish everything¡± I chuckled and she blushed and when she looked at me with those big blue eyes, I blushed.

    We ate in silence, both sharing a spoon and a few secret nces before the te was cleared and she took it out.

    Iid on the white sheets of the bed and looked up at the ceiling. My mind was racing with things.

    What if Micah doesn¡¯t make it?

    What if the Dragon king doesn¡¯t give him his blood?

    What if I fall for Fallon before he gets back?

    I sighed and turned on my back, pulling the sheet up to my chest and turned off themp. Soon my eyes closed and I was lured into sleep.

    That night, I had a dream¡­.

    I pant and gasped as I ran through the dark forest. Tears were streaming down my face but the cold wind dried it up before it could rolled down my chin.

    I was being chased, chased my and unknown person who had a dagger in her hand.

    My red hair whipped at my back. When I turned my head to see if I was still being chased at, a red snake tied itself around my leg and my eyes widen before I closed them back as I fell.

    It felt like I was rolling down a hill and I could not stop. I brace myself for the pain i would feel if something¡­ Maybe a rock or a tress broke my fall but when I opened my eyes, I saw a pitch ck pit.

    I fell in the hole, twigs cutting my skin open. I looked up and the moon was my own source of light.

    A figure stood above me and I choked on my cry. The person had a red snake wrapped around her neck.

    I shook my head from side to side and begged ¡°Please don¡¯t hurt me¡±

    My pleas fell on deaf ears and when she raised the dagger up to strike me, she only said two words. ¡°Die halfbreed¡±

    She threw the dagger at me but before I could pierce my skin, my eyes opened to the darkness around me.

 Chapter 9

    My body hurt and I can¡¯t move. It felt like my body has been buried six feet under the snow and the coldness biting into my skin.

    I hiss as I rolled to my side and groaned when the pain hits harder. I closed my eyes and took in deep breaths then pulled myself in a sitting position.

    I blinded the tears that had gathered around my eyes and wait for the pain to subside.

    The dream felt real¡­ So so real to the point that I could feel it even when I woke up. I raised my hand to the nightstand and turnee on themp. I gasped when I saw the small cuts from the tip of my fingers to my arm.

    I looked over the other parts of my body and my eyes widen when everyone single skin were covered in fresh cuts that leaked blood. I swallowed and looked around scared shitless for my life.

    Fearfully and with shaky hands, I brought my hand to the wall and turned on the light. I released a sigh of relief when I looked around and saw that no one was watching.

    My right eye ticked and stinged when I swinged my legs over the bed and tried getting up. I used the wall to support my body that almost gave out.

    I was alone. Alone and scared and I suddenly wished Micah never left. I got to the bathroom, not bothering to take off my nightgown and turned on the water.

    The coldness bite into my skin and I let out a cry before quickly changing the temperature.

    The door burst open and my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I thought it was the person from my dream. Thinking about it alone makes me shudder.

    ¡°W-who are y-you?¡± I stammered while using the titled walls to support myself and blinking away the water that has gathered above my eyshes.

    He blinked slowly at me before he widen hus eyes and ducked his head down.

    ¡°Apologies Queen, I am Beta Kyle. Second inmand to the king¡± He murmured.

    I released a long sigh and will my heart to calm down.

    Beta Klye eyes trailed down my body before throwing his head to the side abd his cheeks and ears turning red. I furrow my brows and looked down and I gasped using my hands to cover my chest that was literally on disy.

    The thin white material did little to nothing to cover my body and with the cloth now sooked with water, it outlined what I hide underneath my clothes. My nakee body.

    ¡°I-i¡¯ll be outside your door. I just came in to made sure you were okay¡± He mumbled scratching the back of his neck. I nodded but realized that he isn¡¯t looking at me and used my words instead.

    ¡°Okay¡± He walked out quickly and I released a heavy sigh.

    I grabbed a towel and pat my face dry before taking off the drenched clothes and then wrapping said towel around my chest.

    I entered the room and grabbed a dry cloth and shrugged it on. I wondered if I should go out and meet beta kyle but decided to just go to bed instead. I was so tired, I felt like I ran around the world five times nonstop.

    I left the light on and crawled under the cover. I looked at the white colored wall and swallowed. It felt like I was being watched and head kept on pounding so hard, it felt like my brain would squish itself out of my ear and onto the bed.

    I took in a deep breath and rxed my tensed muscles. I knew that there was no one in the room with me and it was just me being paranoid.

    I released air from my mouth and closed my eyes before drifting off to sleep.

    ***

    To say I had a goodnight rest would be a lie because I didn¡¯t. I kept toasting and turning in bed and sweating like a cow being led to the ughter.

    My body also ached in different ces so I decided that the first I¡¯d do is take a dip in the warm spring bath that was just a door away from me.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.

    I threw my legs over the bed and my feeting in contact with the cold wooden floor. I pushed a few strands of hair away from my eyes and behind my ear.

    I released a sigh as I spot the steamy crystal clear water and hurriedly walked towards it. I took off the clothes fromst and it pooled around my feet before I stepped out of it. I stood butt naked staring into the water before dipping a foot in it then my whole body.

    ¡°Feels so good¡± I moaned and hummed at the same time.

    I rest my back against the wall of the pool and closed my eyes. I stayed there for some minutes, basking in the warmth that the water provided.

    Slowly, the door behind me creaked and I blinked slowly, turning around to see who it was as my hand gripped the edge of the pool and also using it to hide my breasts.

    Half of Fallon¡¯s body was here and the other half still in the room as she looked around for me.

    I was surprised to see that she hadn¡¯t spotted me the moment she entered the room with my red hair and pale body sticking out.

    She soon spots me and stepped in, blushing with her hands at her fronts and head down. My lips from into a smile at that.

    ¡°I brought your breakfast¡± She mumbled, looking elsewhere but me and I nodded before answering with my words. ¡°Okay¡±

    She was about to turn back and I stopped her ¡°Wait!¡± I said making her look up at me, her brows knitted together in confusion.

    ¡°Will you bath me?¡± I asked her, shocking us both but I couldn¡¯t back down now.

    She looked hesitant for a moment before nodding and moving towards me.

    I swam back a little as she stopped at the edge of the pool and took off her gown. I could feel my body heating up as I watched her, my eyes moving with her fingers that pulled the gown off, exposing her beautiful pale body.

    I sucked in a deep breath as I felt my core heat up and my nipple harden. She looked at me shyly before walking to the other side of the wall and taking a wash cloth and a blue soap.

    Fallon dipped her body in the pool and I moved backward to rest against the wall. She stopped in front of me and wet the rag then rubbed the soap on it.

    The rag made contact with my skin and so did her hand. I released a breath as we both looked at each other, not once breaking eye contact.

    I was itching to touch her, touch her nipple that had harden in my mouth, feel her ass with my palm and lick the skin on her neck.

    Everything thought of Micah and how I would try for a us drowned into the steamy water and not resurfacing.

    I stopped her with my right hand, taking the rag out of her hand on dropping it in the water.

    ¡°Lovette¡­¡± She whispered my name, trailing off unsure of what I was going to do. I know she wants me. I could see it in the way she looks at me, the way her body reacts to me and my touch and I¡¯ll be damned if I say the feeling isn¡¯t mutual.

    Slowly, I trailed my left index finger from her neck down to her breast whispering her name soft as I twerked her pink nipple.

    She released a moan, her eyes closing for a brief second before her hand gripped my thighs and her soft lips descended on mine.

 Chapter 10

    MICAH¡¯S POV

    We¡¯ve being running for a day now, nonstop and i could feel the venom of the witches snake bite spreading through my body and it is already weakening me.

    ¡°Let¡¯s rest for the day¡¯ i said to my men through mind link and their pace slowed down to a joggle before the stopped around me ans started shifting into their human forms.

    The bag that was strapped to my side in my wolf form suddenly became ck as u transformed to my human.

    I sat down underneath a tree and picked up the bag that held the medicine Diana gave to me yesterday abd brought out the small jar that contained the brown portion that would slow down the poison from spreading throughout my body.

    I opened the lid and the strong smell of the portion made my nose itch and my eyes water. I hissed in pain as I applied directly on the unhealed wound, tilting my head backward so it would rest on the tree.

    After a few minutes, the pain subside and it felt like I could finally breath again. I looked down to my chest to see that the ck vains had reduced, going back to the wound.

    My white hair clinched to my sweaty forehead. I closed my eyes and take in a deep breath before opening them again.

    I looked around to see that my men had settled around, some were clothed while other like me were still bare.

    Being naked in front of each other is nothing to be ashamed of unlike humans who would shy away from each other.

    I smirked as I remembered how my human had had attempted to covered herself from me. My dick twitched at the thought of how it would feel to be pressed in between her ass cheek.

    I knew my men were looking at me because they could smell the arousal that slipped out of me but I paid no mind to them.

    ¡°Damien!¡± I called out to wolf who had carried my bag that had my clothes in and he stumbled towards me and handed it to me.

    I brought out a ck jean trouser and put it on, not bothering on putting on underwear because I knew I would still be taking them off soon.

    I dusted an invincible dirt from my trouser and then tied my long hair into a man bun. I struggled on the rocks against my bare foot before finding my footing.

    As I walked further from the group, my Gamma jogged up to be before walking next to me. I turned my head towards him and raised my white brow, my steps not ttering once.

    ¡°I can¡¯t let you go out of the pack alone Sire¡± He shrugged answering my unasked question.

    I chuckled at that. Even in my weaken state, we both knew that if anyone enemy was to attack, I would be the one protecting him.

    I could hear the sound of running water and my throat immediately became dry from running a whole day without water.

    ¡°Tell the pack,¡± I mumbled to Ayo knowing he could hear it to. ¡°They¡¯ll be needing the water too¡±

    Gamma Ayo nodded and his brown eyes instantly turned a golden color signaling that he was mind linking with the others.

    We got there and I tugged my jean up before squatting down and cupping the stream water with my eyes closed and bring it to my lips. It trailed down from my lips, chin and down my chest.

    My ears twitched and my eyes snapped open. I leaped towards Ayomide who was about three feet from me and pushed him out of the way.

    Blood trailed down the side of my neck from where the sharp edge of an arrow had scraped, barely missing my neck.

    The hair at the back of my neck stood up and I knew we weren¡¯t alone.

    Ayo¡¯s eyes were wide and I quickly got up and that was a big mistake. Two arrow came flying through the air and one pierced through his chest and the other in his right eyes.

    My eyes twitched in irritation and I wondered who made him Gamma.

    Oh right. Me.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.

    I crouched on all four, waiting, waiting for my preys toe out from where they were hiding. I took in a long sniff of the air, trying to identify their scent but i just couldn¡¯t ce my finger on it.

    It is something I know, something familiar but I just couldn¡¯t get it.

    Another arrow came flying through the air again but before I could see I, I heard it and I moved to side and the arrow buried itself deep in the sand.

    A smirked formed on my lip because I already knew where they were and I ran with full speed, extendeding my ws as I climbed the tree and pulled at it¡¯s brown tail.

    The others started squeaking as they swing away and I almost rolled my eyes. Goblins were always known to put themselves first not caring about the others.

    ¡°Let me go!¡± He yelled, scratching at my hand that was wrapped around his neck. His face was turning green and I almostughed at himical he looked right now.

    ¡°Who sent you?¡± I asked, tightening my hold around his slender neck.

    He stopped trashing and looked me me mischievously, his big brown eyes dancing with amusement and I almost snapped his neck right there but I needed answers.

    ¡°Oh, we don¡¯t need anyone sending us,¡± Heughed like what I said was funny and I furrow my brows and my lips forming a sneer.

    He wiped a tear from his eyes and continued. ¡°We are only protecting what¡¯s our!¡± He screamed, extending his brown ws but before it could w at my face, I grabbed him arm and twisted it and he cried out as it snapped into two. Literally.

    ¡°Yours?¡± I asked and he red at me.

    ¡°Yes! Ours! Ours! You stand in our territory!¡± He screamed and cried at the same time.

    Iughed, throwing my head backward at his words. ¡°Thisnd belongs to me¡± I spat at it¡¯s face.

    ¡°Not anymore it won¡¯t¡± heughed. ¡°She will destroy you. She will help us get back what you took¡± He added and continuedughing like a maniac.

    My men came, some dragging goblins by their thin white hair towards me. I had enough of the madgoblin that I had pressed against a trees.

    I moved my face closer to him and whispered. ¡°Thisnd always and will always belong to me¡± and with that, I took one of his arrows and sent it straight to his skull.

    Now, we have enough food for the journey.

 Chapter 11

    Fallon and I pulled away from each other as the door opened. I turned around with wide eyes, my heart beating down fast in my chest.

    ¡°I¡¯m naked!¡± I shouted to whoever was there and the door paused.

    ¡°I just came to check up on you¡± the person said and I recognized the voice from yesterday to be Beta Kyles.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine¡± I said breathlessly then cleared my throat and repeated the words.

    He hesitated, his shadow shining into this room and his grip still on the door.

    ¡°Okay.¡± He finally said before slowing closing the door behind him.

    I knew that Beta Kyle hesitated because of what happened yesterday. He practically saw me naked and I¡¯m sure he wouldn¡¯t do it again unless he wishes to loose his head.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    Both Fallon and I released a sigh of relief at the same time. I pushed my back to the wall and closed my eyes trying to calm my racing heart.

    I do hope Beta Kyle couldn¡¯t smell our arousal or else that would be the end of me ¨C or rather, Fallon and I could not afford that.

    Not that I am in love with Fallon or anything, I only care for her as a friend and i am also sexually attracted to her and want to explore everything that I couldn¡¯t do when I was still in the ruins.

    ¡°I just go¡± Fallon whispered shakily and I snapped my eyes open to see her staring at the door warrelying. I looked at her features for a few seconds before releasing a sigh.

    ¡°Okay¡± I also whispered back, then worry my bottom lip with my teeth. I¡¯m a little bit scared that she might regret what has happened between us.

    She moved to the edge of the pool to where her discarded clothes are and got out of the pool. I couldn¡¯t help it as my eyes roamed her naked body before it gets covered up by her clothes.

    She turned to look at me expectantly and Iughed softly before getting out of the warm water and covering up my bits with the towel Fallon passed to me.

    God, I didn¡¯t want to leave the pool as it felt so good against my sore flesh.

    We both entered the room with our hair clinging to skin and Fallon had wet patches on her yellow gown.

    I fold my arms under my chest as she turns around to look at me. She bite her lips nervously before giving me a smile, a smile that promises that this won¡¯t be the end before hurrying out the room.

    When the door closed, I released the breath I never knew I was holding and ced my hand on my chest.

    I stared at the door for a few seconds then looked around and saw the food that sat on the coffee table which was already cold by now.

    I knew that what I am doing with Fallon is wrong on so many levels ¨C not because I am with a woman, but because I knew that I am hurting Micah.

    He doesn¡¯t deserve someone like me but at the same time, I still want him to want me.

    God, I¡¯m a fucked up person.

    I entered the walk in closet and dropped the towel on floor then picked out a white sweatshirt and a ck skirt. I once again take the towel from the floor and ran it through my hair, absolving the wetness from it and ran my fingers through the red locks to untangle it.

    I didn¡¯t bother looking at myself in the mirror and when I walked ouy of the closet, I nce at the pile of meat in the te for a moment before deciding to just leave it as it is since I wasn¡¯t really hungry.

    I know it¡¯s bad to waste food and I feel bad about it knowing there are thousands of humans who go hungry everyday¡­ I use to be one of them but I just don¡¯t think I can stomach anything.

    Moving to where I dropped the ck boots I wore yesterday next to the door, I slide them on and pushed the door open.

    I walked down the hallway, passing a few servants and guards who greeted me with their head bow. Within the few days that I have spent in the castle, words about the King¡¯s human mate had spread and almost everyone knows about me.

    I put a halt to my steps when a door caught my attention. The door looks almost simr to one of my favorite ces in the ruins. I sauntered towards it, looking left and right like I was afraid to be caught sneaking into a secret ce.

    The door creaked as I pushed it open and I cringed at the sound. It felt like my presence was interrupting this ce as it looked like a ce no one had ever visited¡­ Untouched.

    Oh what a shame.

    As the door closed, the firece instantly lights up and I jumped back in fright, my back pressed to the door.

    I stayed pressed to the door for a few seconds before shaking my head and with a chuckle, moved deeper I to the room.

    The castle library was a lot bigger than I had actually expected it to be.

    Although is was bigger and fancier inparison to the one in the ruins, I felt disappointed while staring at it. My eyes sweeping each shelves filled with just a few books.

    The firece was situated to the wall on my right and in front of it sat a center table with two ck sofas around the piece of furniture.

    I didn¡¯t bother going to the sofa as I had already spotted therge window at the back of the shelves. I sauntered deeper into the room, taking my time to look at each books and finding the one that would catch my interest.

    Arge book covered in dust finally caught my interest and I quickly walked towards it.

    I blew away the dust on it and ran my palm over the hardcover.

    ¡°Encyclopedia on mythical Creatures¡± I said aloud as I read the title that was written stylishly.

    I walked over to therge window that would block the views of others from me yet giving me a perfect view of anybody that woulde in.

    With a huff, I raised myself up and ced my bum on the cold stone and dropped the book on myp.

 Chapter 12

    I never knew there were so many other mythical creatures in this world except for the mages, dragons and wolves.

    Within two hours of sitting here and flipping over pages, I¡¯ve learned much more than I did in thest twenty years.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    I lowered the book that was covering my face down to myp gently when I heard the library door open. Footsteps echoed in the calm silent room and the voices of males talking reached my ears.

    ¡°Be Fast!¡± hissed a voice that sounds quite familiar. I held my breath in fear that I might be caught eavesdropping on their conversation.

    I slightly tilted my head to the left to get a better view of who the Delta Leonardo was talking to. I could only see the back of the man who he was talking to and from hisnky form, I assume he¡¯s a human.

    They were both staring at each other and the Delta wore and expression of impatience.

    After a few beats, the unknown man finally spoke. ¡°Until you give us the information that the Highest priestess needed¡± He said inbox scratchy voice.

    I could feel that something wasn¡¯t right¡­ With this whole conversation something just wasn¡¯t right and I n on finding out what it is!

    ¡°Fine!¡± Leonardo snapped. ¡°He has gone to the Dradon¡¯snd, now give me what I want¡± He muttered like he was being forced to say it.

    The stranger said something but I couldn¡¯t catch what it was. His hand disappeared into the ck bag that rests on his right his and brought out something and gave it to the Delta.

    I couldn¡¯t see what it was though because his body was blocking whatever it was.

    ¡°Do you enjoy eavesdropping on others conversations?¡±

    The voice startled me and I jumped to my feet, the book that was resting on myp fell to the floor and the noise it made echoed in the room which made me cringe.

    I sighed and rolled my eyes then picked up the book and dust and invincible dirt from it¡¯s hardcover. When I looked back up, the unknown man was nowhere to be seen but Delta Leonardo stood there unblinking and staring straight at me through the gap between the shelves.

    I was actually surprised he hasn¡¯t scented me out the moment he entered the room. With his beast senses and all, I had expected him to have know that I was here.

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t eavesdropping on anything¡± I said and we both knew it was a lie.

    I turned my body towards where she was standing at my right-five feet away from me.

    Devina¡¯s face wore a scowl, her arms were crossed over her chest. We both red at each other for a few seconds, either of us flinching or backing down.

    I was the first to break whatever repetition we had and turned my head to look at the spot where Leo was a few seconds ago to find it empty.

    ¡°Leave him¡± She muttered. If not because the room was as silent as a cemetery, I would not have heard her as the two words came out in a low mumble.

    ¡°What?¡± I asked like I didn¡¯t hear what she said but we both knew that I did or maybe I didn¡¯t.

    Maybe it was just the wind that blew from the window next to her, taking along the words of the people that roamed the pce into thus room because if she thinks i wo-.

    ¡°Leave him¡± Devina gritted out more firmly, her voiceing out much stronger.

    I blinked. Then I blinked again and scoffed. ¡°Are you being serious?¡± I asked the woman tilting my head to the side and a confused and questioning way.

    She drops her hands to her side and take a step towards me. ¡°You don¡¯t love him. You won¡¯t love him so why don¡¯t you just leave him¡± She said while taking a step with each word.

    I narrowed my eyes at her and furrowed my brows. ¡°Who the hell do you think you are to tell me to leave my mate?¡± I asked her, stressing on the word mate.

    She chuckled dryly at what I said like it something to beughed at. ¡°And you. Do you even want him as a mate or is this just a joke to you?¡± She asked and I smack my lips together in a frim line and sheughed again like she knew something I didn¡¯t¡­ Or rather something we both knew.

    ¡°Why do you care?¡± I questioned already having enough of this whole charade.

    ¡°Because he is my friend and unlike you, I care about him and his feelings¡±

    ¡°Yeah Right.¡± I scoffed and turned my back to her. I moved to a shelf closer to me and ced it there not even bothering to put it back in it¡¯s original spot.

    My eyes widen as I realized something. ¡°You are in love with the king!¡± I said loudly and gasped at the same time while turning my body so fast to face her I stumbled a bit.

    My mouth and eye were opened widely and i sure I lookical with my red hair.

    She looked taken back by my words, definitely not expecting it and she whipped her head left to right with eyes wide as mine to see if there was someone else aside us in the room.

    ¡°Of course not!¡± She muttered to quickly and defensively.

    ¡°That why you are trying to get rid of me huh?¡± I chuckled while walking slowly towards her.

    Devina red at me and said ¡°don¡¯te any closer or I might use my magic on yo-¡± ¡°But you wouldn¡¯t want to hurt the King¡¯s mate or you will be killed¡± I said cutting her off with an eye roll.

    That seem to have made her angry as she balled her hands into fist. ¡°But that doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t put the King¡¯s little mate to sleep¡± Devina mumbled.

    I was confused for a second until she stretched her hand towards me and white sparkly dust came out of palm andnded on every single part of my uncovered skin and closed.

    My eyes and limbs became heavy and it was like I was falling on a very soft cloud but deep down, I knew it was no cloud. Just the wooden floor underneath my head.

 Chapter 13

    Micah¡¯s POV

    It¡¯s been four days since we left the Kingdom and journeyed to the high mountains and everyday I be weaker and weaker.

    My men have taken notice and I fear that they might try to challenge me for the throne in my weakened state. As we kept on running in our wolf form, it became hotter and I knew we were almost there.

    The dragon¡¯syer.

    After two more hours of running through the high mountain, we stopped about two hundred feet to the gate of the dragon king¡¯s home. We all shifted into our human forms and walked to the gates that were guarded by it¡¯s warriors.

    ¡°Halt!!¡± Yelled a man from above and I gritted my mrs in irritation. No one tells the King what to do but of course I was in an unknown territory ¨C seeking for help so I have to obey.

    The gate was pushed ajar and two man in dragon scales amour and a spare in their left hands came out.

    ¡°Who are you and state your business¡± The one with a very dark skin said, his eyes checking each of us from head to toe to see if we were a threat.

    ¡°I am King Micah, ruler of the Wolves and humans from the North, I havee to speak with the Dragon king- Hayden¡± I answered in a monotone voice.

    Their eyes widen and they both looked at each other before looking at me again probably wondering why the King himself would bothering all the way here when he could just send a messenger.

    I was getting angry as they kept on looking at me like I had grown two head and was ready to take them out of their thoughts but looking at their unfocused eyes, I knew that they weremunicating with someone.

    When they both blinked I finally snapped. ¡°Will you let me pass or will you just keep on staring at us?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± The blonde one said, jumping into action and waving the men up to roll the gatespletely open. I looked back and tilt my head to the side and my men followed behind me.

    The castle was nothing like I had expected, built with gray bricks and as tall as my castle. It had different type of flowers nted at each side of the road.

    The gates to the castle were wide open and a few servants worked on the grasses and flowers. As we all entered, led by a man waiting at the entrance of the castle, I was even more confused by the little people that roamed the inside.

    In fact, I have only seen two people so far.

    Although it is known that Dragon shifters prefer living in solitary, I hadn¡¯t expected it¡¯s castle to be so silent¡­ Deserted even.

    Anyways, it makes it all the more better, if the Dragon king tries to refuse my request, I could just fight it out of him without any army trying to take me down.

    Abruptly, the man leading us stopped in front of arge door made out of gold and turned around.

    ¡°His majesty would only like the King of the North, Micah to step in the throne room¡± He said with him hands behind his back and head slightly bowed.

    I looked back to my men and they all looked confused and worried about letting their king step in to an unknown room alone.

    Or maybe they were worried for themselves. Being left out alone without their king¡¯s protection.

    Either ways I hesitated but after a few heartbeats, I nodded to both my men and the man at the front.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    The golden door was pushed open and I walked straight in, my steps on the marble floor strong just as my pride and confidence.

    I was here for a purpose, a mission and one I must seed. I was a strong king who had it¡¯s people to care for and a mate who was waiting for me.

    Soon enough, I was standing in front of him. He sauntered down the eleven steps from his throne and stood in front of me with a smile.

    For the first time, I got to see the Dragon king. Here I was, thinking he would be a man in histe fifties or sixties but boy was I wrong.

    He had bright red hair ¨C almost simr to that of my mates¡¯ and brown skin with a body packed with the right muscles enough to note out bulky but still muscr.

    ¡°Ah! It¡¯s not everyday the wolf king gets to visit the Dragon¡¯syer¡± He said with a light chuckle and my tensed shoulders rxed a bit but I was still on alert in case of any danger.

    ¡°Yes, I apologize for the unannounced intrusion but I am in need your help¡± I told him, clenching my fist and releasing a deep breath.

    I need to be calm but not rxed. I am weak and dying and I can¡¯t take down someone like him, I doubt I will be able to even get a single drop of blood out of his body.

    He crooked and arrogant brow at me and took a step closer to me but not close enough to be able to know his smell.

    He is a dragon covered with thick skin and scales that hides his scent from others making it hard to track them.

    ¡°And which is?¡­¡± He asked in a calm tone.

    ¡°Blood. I need your blood¡±

    He looked at me for a second with his brows furrowed and thenughed. Fuckingughed.

    ¡°Do notugh at me¡± I growled out with my canines poking out my lips and my ws growing longer.

    ¡°My blood? You just don¡¯t walk into my castle and demand for my blood!¡± Hemented.

    I released a sigh and ran my hand through my white locks. I knew he was right and I need toy this down calmly.

    ¡°Yes, you are right and I apologize for it but can we at least discuss this while not standing?¡± I asked.

    Fatigue was catching up with me with the endless running and the poison spreading through my body.

    ¡°Oh yes! Forgive my hosting manners, I was just intrude to why the wolf king would want toe talk to me himself ¨C unannounced¡± He leered not even bothering to hide his suspiciousness.

    ¡°Important matters¡± I simple answered and he replied with a muttered ¡®I see¡¯.

    His eyes went unfocused for a few seconds and then he blinked. ¡°Rooms are being prepared for you and your men and someone will be here to lead you there. Please have a good rest and when the sun is up we will discuss about this¡­ Blood matter¡±

    Before I could say anything, a servant walked in through the pushed door and bowed to her king and me.

    ¡°If you will follow me sir¡± She mumbled.

    I gave him a frim nod and turned around to follow the girl but before I left the throne room, I turned my head to look at the king only to see him already watching me.

    ¡°Thank you, Hayden¡± I hesitantly said and his lips formed a from line.

    ¡°Do not thank me yet Micah¡±

 Chapter 14

    Every bones in my body were tensed and my muscles sore. I brushed my hair out of my face and with my weak arms, I pushed myself up in a sitting position.

    I ced the back of my left palm over my throbbing head and looked around.

    I was in the library.

    Suddenly, everything that happened earlier came crashing in and the memories of how Devina had used her magic to lure me to sleep flood in.

    ¡°Fucking bitch¡± I spat silently and groaned in pain as the massive headache hits me onve more.

    After massaging the spot for a while, I pushed myself up to my feet, dust the dirt that had gathered on my clothes and walked towards the door but not before looking out the window to see that the sky was really dark.

    I pushed therge door open and released a sigh as I walked down the hallway. I wasn¡¯t ready to go back to my room so I decided to take a stroll outside the castle.

    As I got to the entrance/exit of the gate, I expected to see the two guards who guard the entrance but there was no one there and I wondered if they were cking with their duties because the king was away.

    I heard voices and shouting. Curious to see what was happening, I went there and saw arge group of people gathered in a circle watching what was in their middle.

    I took cautious steps down the stairs and when I realized I won¡¯t be able to see what was happening if I went any closer or if I did, I might get harmed with all the bulky muscles gathered around, I turned around and went up the stairs once more.

    Two half naked men were fighting in the ring of people. They were both half-shifted and their cks cling on to their muscled-fur-skin for dear life.

    They both growled and wed at each other and I winced when one shed at the skin of the other, drawing both fur and flesh out. Blood leaked out of both men and they were a panting mess.

    It was also safe to say that it was a good option to stay up here because I do not want to get caught in fight.

    ¡°Why are they fighting?¡± I asked to no one, voicing out the thought.

    The answer that came startled me and I turn to my right to see a dark skinned girl next to me also watching the men.

    ¡°Pardon?¡±

    ¡°I said they are fighting over a mate¡± She said, repeating what she said a few seconds ago.

    She turned to look ate and I could finally see her features with the help of themps that lit up the stairs.

    She had dark skin that was covered with dark traditional tattoos and were very hard to see the details in the night time. Her warm and amber looking eyes absorbed my appearance with her nose high up not hesitating to breath in my scent. She was a strong looking woman with broad shoulders, thighs rippling with muscles and stomach fills with abs.

    She tilt her head to the side, I blinked and shook my head when I realized that I was staring ¨C and no, not in a sexual way even though she was in her training shorts but rather in a curious manner.

    ¡°You¡¯re the Kings mate¡± She said curiously even though almost everyone in the castle knows about it but not everyone have seen me.

    Before Micah left, he had warned me to not reveal myself as his mate to unknown people because he had a lot of enemies.

    ¡°Hum¡­ Yes¡± I answered hesitantly.

    The woman nods her head and stretched out her hand. ¡°I¡¯m Tolu, the beta¡¯s mate¡± Tolu said proudly and I widen my eyes.

    I never expected the Delta¡¯s mate to be this powerful¡­ Muscr even and definitely not looking so fit after giving birth to a child.

    ¡°Celeste¡± I mumbled back in amazement and she chuckled at my expression.

    ¡°Yeah, I know what you¡¯re thinking¡± She said jokingly and with an eye roll and I shook my head and chuckled and raised my hands up in a surrender way.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the baby?¡± I asked curiously, looking around with a furrowed brow.

    Tolu groaned beside me and I looked at her once more. ¡°With her father, I needed a break so I promised to watch over you while he takes care of her for the night¡±

    I nodded in understanding until I remembered what she just said. ¡°Wait! You¡¯re watching me?¡±

    ¡°Of course,¡± She answered with a frown. ¡°You are the King¡¯s mate and exposed to potential danger¡±

    I nodded knowing she was right. Being the King¡¯s matees with danger.

    The noiseing from below me snapped my attention back to the fight between the two male.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.

    Why are they fighting over one female when they both have different mates?¡± I decided to ask Tolu.

    I turned my head to look at her only to find her looking at the fight with a frown.

    ¡°They both have one mate and they can¡¯t share her. It isn¡¯t in our nature¡± She answered.

    ¡°But how is that possible?¡±

    ¡°Well, it happens but it¡¯s very rare¡± Tolu said while running her hand through her short dark brown hair.

    ¡°Well, why isn¡¯t anyone stopping them¡± I asked, motioning to the people gathered around and the guards who just stood there watching it happen.

    ¡°Without the King to resolve the issue, they have to fight it¡±

    ¡°Wait, you mean fight it as in till-¡±

    ¡°Yes. Fight it to the Death¡±

    I was expecting it but still hearing it made the hair on my skin rose. And on cue, a painful whimper sounded below and a body dropped to the floor.

    The dead man¡¯s neck was cut out clean and blood gushed out. It was a barbaric sight to witness honestly, and I felt pity for the dead man.

    He lost his life all because of a female.

    The other man¡¯s fur retracts into his skin and he faced a female. With skin bathed with blood, he scooped the woman into his arms, buried his nose in her neck and walked out of the crowd without a word.

    I stood there for a minute as I watched the crowd all leave one by one. A cry made me snap my head up to my right to see a man all over a woman.

    I would have ignored it if it wasn¡¯t for the hair. I would have ignored it if it wasn¡¯t for the orange gown I saw the first time I came to the castle.

    But because I knew who¡¯s hair and gown was, I couldn¡¯t ignore. Especially when he slide his hand up her thigh.

 Chapter 15

    Micah¡¯s POV

    I have been staring up at the ceiling for over an hour, lost in my thoughts. Here I was, thinking I would be out the moment my headys on the bed but that just don¡¯t want to happen. Even after I took a hot rxing bath.

    I sighed and ran my palm across my face and then rolled on my right side. A knock sounded on the door and I furrowed my brows, wondering who it might be.

    With bare feet on the wooden floor, I sauntered to it and pulled it a jar to see who it was.

    A man dressed in armored scales was at the other side of the door. His eyes met mine and then trailed down to my naked chest. His brown eyes wide at the ck vein lines that was spread over my chest.

    He took in a shaky breath and quickly bowed his head and I nodded even though he couldn¡¯t see me.

    ¡°The King Hayden has requested your presences¡± He said with an uneven voice and I scowled.

    ¡°I will be there in a few minutes¡± I told him and he bowed once more then turned around facing the hallway.

    I closed the door and walked back to the bedroom and picked up the white shirt that I dropped carelessly. I quickly put it on and left the room.

    The guard led the way and when he turned another hallway, I knew we weren¡¯t going to the thrones room but to another room

    I was tempted to ask the guard when my men was but kept it a bay knowing that if they were in trouble, they would have mind linked me by now.

    The two guards guarding arge door pushed it open as well approached and by the smelling from the room, I knew it was the dinning table and on cue, my stomach grumbled. The guards head slightly turned to me at the sound but I paid them no mind because I was to hungry to care ¨C even though it looked and felt like a weakness to me.

    Goddess, the poison was really taking it¡¯s troll on me.

    The dinning hall was as beautiful and shinny as every single thing in this pce. Adored with Gold, sliver and flowers.

    Hayden Drakkon sat on his throne-like chair at the front of the table and on the table, there were different kinds of food.

    There were two guards behind him and on the right side of the wall stood two maids.

    I walked further into the room and Hayden stood up with a pleasant smile. ¡°Please seat and have dinner with me¡± He said and I nodded in appreciation.

    I sat next to him on the left side knowing that we weren¡¯t just here to eat but also to discuss. I pilled up my te with meat and secretly sniffed it to make sure it hasn¡¯t been tempered with before taking arge chunk out of it.

    We sat there in silence for about ten minutes, both lost in thought before Hayden broke it.

    ¡°You said you need my blood¡± He started, wiping his lips with a napkins and going straight to the point.

    I dropped my fork down and turned my head to look at him and straighten up my back.

    ¡°Yes, I need it because I have been poisoned by the witches serpent dagger.¡± I told him and his eyes dted.

    Shit! I could tell that something was up and Hayden probably won¡¯t be sparing me even a single drop of his blood.

    ¡°I thought you signed a treaty with the witches. Why would they still try to kill you?¡± He asked calmly while calling on one of the servant with his finger to refill his cup.

    ¡°I thought so too until they attacked me. That¡¯s why I need your blood or else I will die!¡± I spouted, looking at him before looking down at the food and pinching the skin on my nose.

    It was silent for a while until Hayden Spoke again. ¡°I can not help you¡±

    ¡°Wait, what!?¡± I blurted out, gawking at him to see if he was joking but from the look on his face, I knew he wasn¡¯t.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you heard me loud and clear King Micah¡± Hayden muttered calmly and I clenched my fist on myp from how he was talking to me.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Why?¡± I asked through clenched teeth.

    Hayden scoffed and rxed on his chair with his left hand resting on the armrest.

    ¡°For thousands of years, the wolves and Dragons have never associated with each other yet you calmly walk into my pce and demand for my blood!¡± Heughed getting on his feet and I did the same, ready if anyone attack might happen.

    I swallowed my pride and took in a deep breath, ¡°I mean no disrespect, King Hayden. It was a matter of emergency, I was desperate¡± I said, hoping he would reconsider.

    Hayden paces around and shook his head. ¡°I still can¡¯t. The witches will know that I helped you!¡± He stopped for a moment and stared at the wall, probably thinking about the pros and cons of the situation and I waited, silently praying to the goddess.

    He swifty turned to look at me with a hard expression. ¡°You must understand Micah, we dragon shifters have been a very peaceful kingdom for thousand of years. If we help you now, they will dere a war against my people. As a King, you should understand what I am talking about. I can¡¯t risk the safety of my people.¡±

    I clenched my fist harder as I saw red. Why was this man so hard headed? For fuck sake they are Dragon shifter! One of the most powerful in the mythical world yet they are afraid of some pesty witches? How weak!

    I never wanted it toe to this but I have to do what i have to do. I have a kindom to rule over and a mate waiting! I definitely won¡¯t die when I just found my mate!

    My skin started expanding and the ck and shirt tore off. My pale skin was covered in white fur and my nose turned into a snot. Within minutes, I had shifted into my wolf.

    Hayden Drakkon just stood there and looked at me like what I was doing what stupid and that fueled my anger. He was the stupid one for not giving me his damn blood.

    I wasted no time in attacking him. I could hear the servants shooting as they ran out the room but I paid no attention to them, my focus was on Hayden.

    As I jumped towards him, he swifty moved to the side, dodging the w that would have shed his belly open.

    I growled in frustration, why can¡¯t he just make this more easier!

    I walked around Hayden in circles, finding a weak spot to attack. Finding the perfect time to attack him unaware.

    Hayden was faster than I asked her flew to the air, almost startling me. I hadn¡¯t seen when his wings came out which caught me unaware.

    The stomping of feet made me look around to see Hayden men had surrounded us. When I looked up again, Hayden was half shift with scales protecting him and was twice bigger than my wolf form.

    Fuck! This was harder than I imagined.

    With lightening speed, he tackled me to the floor but I rolled to the side and kicked him with my hind leg.

    The forced I used in pushing him away made the wound on my chest open up and I whined in pain as blood gushed out.

    I couldn¡¯t focus on Hayden for the pain was severe. Once more, Hayden pushed me to the floor with his wed hand on my bloody furred chest.

    He brought his lips close to my face and I snapped my teeth with spit running down.

    ¡°Even for a King, that was quite foolish of you¡±

    ****

    For attacking a King, you would have expected the person to be beheaded or locked up in a dungeon but that wasn¡¯t the case for me.

    I was in the room I was given in the pce with new clothesyed neatly on the bed. It has been about twenty minutes and I sat naked on the bed still confused about what Hayden would do.

    I mean, if he wanted me dead he would have done that when he had the chance twenty minutes ago¡­

    The door was pushed open and Hayden stroll in. ¡°For fucksake Micah, put on some damn clothes!¡± He snorted and looked up at the ceiling.

    I didn¡¯t bother arguing with him as i stood up tensely and quickly put on the clothes.

    When he saw I was clothed, he walked further into the room. ¡°I havee to a conclusion¡± He said and I raised a brow.

    Within thirty minutes?

    ¡°I¡¯m listening¡± I told him, crossing my arms over my chest with my legs parted.

    ¡°If you bring your mate and she convince me to give you my blood, I will¡± He said with a smirk.

    Two things came to my mind as I stared at him; How the fuck does he know I have a mate and is he crazy to think I will bring Lovette here?

 Chapter 16

    Lovette POV

    There wasn¡¯t a word to describe how furious I was as I stomped towards the bald man. Tolu was behind me as she tried to stop me by grabbing my arm but I jerked it out. There was nothing that could stop me at this moment.

    The man noticed meing and removed his lips from a sobbing Fallon¡¯s neck but his hand was still rested on her thigh.

    Before getting could utter a word, I swing my hand back and punched him with all the force I could muster. He stumbled back with a cry and covered his bleeding nose.

    ¡°Stupid bitch! You punched me!¡± He screamed like a baby, looking at his bloody hands and everyone turned to look at themotion

    I hissed at his and grabbed Fallon¡¯s hand. She looked at me with wide puffy eyes, eyes that looked scared but also filled with amazement. ¡°Let¡¯s go¡± I mumbled.

    We haven¡¯t even moved a step when a handnded on my shoulder and harshly turned me around.

    ¡°You¡¯re going to pay for that bitch.¡± He spat but before he could raise his hand to p me, I released Fallon¡¯s arm and pushed him.

    The man sure wasn¡¯t expecting it as he stumbled and lost his footing making his roll down the fifty steps. Everyone gasped and even i was horrified by what I¡¯d done.

    Did I¡­ Did I just kill a man?

    He was twisted in an unnatural angle and I cupped my mouth in horror. Before I could say a word, Tolu was pushing me away from themotion and into the pce. I turned my head back a little to make sure Fallon was following behind me and she was.

    All three of us entered the King¡¯s room and when Tolu closed the door behind her, she turned and looked at me with an annoyed expression.

    ¡°Did I kill him?¡± I asked her, dreading the answer I would receive.

    ¡°Of course not! He would heal back within an hour or so but what you did was quite irresponsible.¡± Tolu scolded, lecturing me like a child and I sat on the bed with my head cast down.

    I worried my lips and looked at her. ¡°He was hurting her¡±

    We both turned our head to Fallon who stood by the wall side. Her head was down and she wiped a stray tear that rolled down her cheek.

    Tolu¡¯s eyes soften and she turned to look at me once more. ¡°I will take care of it but make sure you do not leave this room¡± She warned and I nodded.

    After a nod my way, she walked out the room and I got up to lock the door. Fallon was still in the same position and I hesitantly walked up to her.

    ¡°Hey, are you okay?¡± I asked even though I knew she was far from Okay.

    She nodded and sniffle. I ced my thumb and index finger under her chin and raised her head up. Her eyes were puffy and filled up with tears that were ready to roll down her cheek.

    ¡°Has he¡­ Has he been doing this to you before?¡± I hesitantly asked her and worried my lips as I wait for her response.

    She nodded and shrugged like it was nothing new which fueled my anger. Was this how humans were treated? Raped and abused by the beasts whenever they like.

    I felt guilty. Guilty that I was the only one given that best treatment her in the Castle while the others had to suffer.

    I wonder if the others looked at me differently when I pass them. Thinking that I have betrayed my kind by being the King¡¯s mate.

    I took in a shaky breath and released the air through my mouth and tried to calm down, getting angry won¡¯t solve anything and I don¡¯t want to frighten her. I pulled her in for a hug and she sobbed while I smoothen her back.

    ¡°Shh¡± I mumbled as I ran my fingers through her bright hair and her hand tighten around my waist.

    After a few minutes, she pulled away and I ced my hands on her shoulders and gave her a small smile.

    Fallon turned her head to the side and frowned. I was worried she didn¡¯t want me touching her until she spoke. ¡°Your hand is bleeding¡±

    I frowned and brought my left hand closer to my face to inspect it. She was right, I had a few bruises on my knuckles but it wasn¡¯t bleeding that much. The blood at the back of palm was from the bald man¡¯s broken nose.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt that much¡± I told Fallon while wiggling my fingers. Before she could respond, there was a knock on the door and both Fallon and I looked at each other before I went to the door.

    ¡°Who¡¯s it?¡± I asked making sure it wasn¡¯t the man I pusheding to get his revenge. ¡°It¡¯s me, Tolu¡±

    I unlocked the door and pulled it open. Tolu walked in with a tray of food and at the sight, my stomach grumbled.

    She ced it down on the table and turned to me. ¡°I thought that you might be hungry so I brought this for you¡­¡±

    ¡°Thank you¡± I told her with a smile and she nodded.

    She wiggle her nose in disgust and looked around the room trying to find whatever it was she was looking for.

    Tolu looked at me with a brow raised and picked up the food from this morning. She shakes her head at me and I smiled sheepishly.

    ¡°You better eat that!¡± Tolu said as she points at the food she brought and I nodded. ¡°Okay¡±

    She frowns once again and I wondered what it was this time. ¡°Your hand is bruised¡± She noticed and I raised the hand up. ¡°Oh yeah¡± I mumbled.

    ¡°I¡¯ll clean that up for you¡± She said but before I could say a word, Fallon spoke up for the first time since Tolu came in.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±

    Tolu raised a brow at her and then looked at me for confirmation and I nodded ¡°Fine then!¡± She said as she pped her thighs.

    She soon left after that and Fallon quickly went into the bathroom to get the First Aid kit.

    I sat down on the sofa and waited, soon enough, she rushed in with the kit. ¡°Stay still¡± Fallon mumbled while cleaning the wound with a wet rag.

    She was so focused on the task like her life depends on it with her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth and a little smile formed on my lips.

    God, she looks so cute doing that.

    She rubbed some alcohol on the wound and I hissed while retracting my hand from her. ¡°So sorry¡± She muttered and gave me a sheepish smile.

    ¡°There, all done!¡± She said and smiled brightly at me.

    Our eyes locked on each others and slowly, we pulled in. I cupped her cheek and ced my lips on her.

    It was just there, not moving ¨C just touching. I waited for her to pulled away but she didn¡¯t, instead she applied pressure and moved her lips on mine.

    That was all the clue I need to pull her closer by her waist and kiss the hell out of her.

 Chapter 17

    Micah¡¯s POV

    This whole journey was a waste of time.

    I wasted no time in leaving the Dragon¡¯s Kingdom with my men. If Hayden thinks I would bring my mate to him then he was fucking wrong.

    We all ran through the dark trees back to the Castle. I made sure I was on alert just in case we get ambushed again.

    I made sure to tell my men that we wouldn¡¯t be stopping anytime soon, not even to take a shit. It took us four days to get to the high mountains and I n on making it back to my Castle in less than that.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.

    I need to see my mate. I missed her so damn much.

    ¡°Sire! Watch out!¡± One of my men said through mindlink but before I could stop, I went rolling down a rocky high.

    I groaned from the pain of the rock hitting my side and coughed when I breath in the dust from thr fall.

    How did I not realized that there was a cliff?! I was so fucking alert and made sure that each steps I take was calcted and sure.

    I shook my fur and huffed in annoyance. Every minute I stay here is a waste of my time. I looked up to see my men all looking down at me, some in human form.

    It would be hard trying to climb back up in my wolf form and there was no rope that could be lowered down to pull me to the top.

    I took in a breath and slouched. My bones started reforming and snapping in and out ces. I waspletely bare which made this whole situation more irritating.

    ¡°Fuck this¡± I mumbled under my breath as I grabbed a rock and pushed myself up.

    At fifteen steps up, I got tired and my hands began to shake. I groaned when my left leg slipped and a sharp rock cut through my thigh and almost near my dick. I looked down to see blood pouring out and the wound wasn¡¯t closing at all.

    ¡°Fucking hell¡± I grumbled under my breath and released a shaky breath.

    I have never felt this weak.

    When I look up to see how close was to the top, in the mist of the dog, I sae a faint lighting from a cave in the wall. My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to check it out.

    When I got to the edge of the cave, I pushed myself up and climbed in. I ced my hands on my knees and took inrge breath, I used my left hand to wipe away the sweat that was rolling down my temple.

    Murmuring came from deep inside the cave and my body became stiff? Dammit! If I knew there was someone in here I wouldn¡¯t havee.

    I contemted if I should mindlink some of my men toe down or I should just get the hell out of here but something deep inside of me wanted me to stay¡­ Wanted me to cheek it out.

    I took cautious steps, staying on alert and watching out for the enemies.

    I was surprised to see arge body of water covered with fog in such a small cave. It was beautiful actually, with vines and wildflower wrapping around the wall of the cave and on a singlerge rock in the middle of the river.

    Goddess, this would be a nice ce to bring my mate.

    I humming sound filled the cave and turned around to find it but couldn¡¯t. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± I asked with a growl to my voice.

    There was no answer and I still couldn¡¯t find who it was but I bet this is a work of a witch.

    The humming became louder and louder and I felt like I was going crazy. ¡°I need to get out here¡± I mumbled breathlessly.

    I tried going back the way I came but I couldn¡¯t find it! It was like the cave was closing up on me. Each ce I looked and every path I took was just a dead end of rock.

    Fuck! I can¡¯t take this anymore! I looked at the water and an idea came to me. Maybe¡­ Maybe I could swim out of here! The river have to at least lead somewhere.

    I tried running to it but it felt like I was weighed down by an invisible force. Each step taken was pure torture to my pounding head and weak bone.

    ¡°Just stop¡± I choked out when the humming became to loud for me to take and I fell on my knees and crawling towards the water.

    My eyes were dizzy and I couldn¡¯t see straight.

    I felt a wet, hot liquid flowing out of my eyes and down my cheek and I thought¡­ Was I crying? Am I fucking crying over a fucking song that was getting stuck in my head?

    No, that can¡¯t be possible-, I don¡¯t cry, I didn¡¯t even cry when u lost my damn parents!

    Angrily, I swipe my hand across my cheek and from how the substance felt, I knew it wasn¡¯t tears. I brought my hand close to my unfocused eyes and saw that it was blood-i was bleeding my eyes and that wasn¡¯t the only ce I was bleeding from.

    Is this how it would end for me? Torture my a song and bleeding to dead in an unknown ce?

    Is this how the great King Micah¡¯s reign woulde to an end.

    I couldn¡¯t let that happen ¨C I can¡¯t let it happen. I want to live, I have to live but¡­ I just can¡¯t, I couldn¡¯t move anymore and I began to gasp.

    Gasp for air, gasp for water ¨C I wasn¡¯t even sure. Everything looked the same at this point.

    I wasn¡¯t kneeling anymore, my chest was on the floor with blood flowing out of every holes in my face and my hand was stretched out to her. I began humming the song with them and swaying my head.

    I felt at peace with them, especially when she took my head in herp and ced a loving kiss on my forehead.

    ¡°You¡¯re home¡± she whispered and they all murmured the same words with her.

    ¡°You¡¯re home¡±

    I gave her blurry face a smile and released a sigh. Finally home.

    Micah¡¯s POV

    I slowly blinked my eyes, trying to adjust it to the blinding light around me. When I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the blue sky with birds flying around.

    ¡°You¡¯re finally awake¡± said a feminine voice and I jerked up in a sitting position and looked around me.

    I was on an ind, at the edge of the Ocean surrounded by women, beautiful women with their breast in disy and all had dark silky hair and a tail. A freaking tail.

    ¡°Where am I? Who are you?¡± I asked them, then started coughing.

    They all looked at each other and one crawled to the older woman closer to me and whispered in her ear.

    ¡°Arista, I don¡¯t think it worked¡±

    ¡°What didn¡¯t work?¡± I tried asking and moving my legs but it felt like a ton of bricks have been ced on it.

    ¡°Of course it Will!¡± Arista snapped. ¡°It just needs more time. Danna wouldn¡¯t betray us¡±Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    Danna? The high priestess?

    But before I could say a word, she sprinkled a powder on my face and I feel¡­ Into deep water with vines wrapped around me and pulling me into the darkness.

    Into the sea

    Hold you close to me

    Slide ¡®neath the waves

    Down into the caves

    Kiss me my love

    Come rest in my arms

    Dream your dreams with me

    Slide beneath the sea

    Come to me my love

    Forgot thend above.

    ¡°I love hearing you sing, Lorelei¡± I mumbled into herrge breast as I kept thrusting into her hole.

    ¡°And me Micah¡± Attina whispered in my ear and I groaned, my hands tighten around Lorelei¡¯s scale covered waist.

    ¡°And me!¡±

    ¡°And me!¡±

    ¡°And me!¡±

    They all said in unison. I nodded and released a few bubbles from my nose and mouth, almost choking on water as I found my release, pouring every seed into her.

    ¡°Fill me with your babies Micah¡± Lorelei moaned with her eyes closed. ¡°I want your babies¡± She added in a whisper and I groaned.

    ¡°They are all yours. Take them¡± I told them breathlessly, copsing on the old bed in the ship that was lost at sea.

    Lorelei hummed and swam away and i smiled in bliss. I love serving my mistresses, I love them and my purpose is to fill them with my babes.

    Arista came to me next with a shell in her hand.  ¡°Are you ready?¡± She asked me, running her ws through my hair and I purred.

    ¡°Can I have a minute?¡± I begged her, wincing when I touched the tip of my manhood.

    I was bruised and not healing.

    Arista blue eyes turned ck and she released a screech and I physically recoiled.

    ¡°No, you will not have a minute!¡± She growled, pulling my hair and looking me deep in the eyes.

    ¡°The mating season will soon be over and you need to fill us all before then, Micah¡± Arista suddenly said smoothly and I rxed.

    ¡°You do understand¡­ Right?¡± She purred while looking at me lovingly and I nodded. ¡°I understand, I am here to serve you¡± I mumbled as she pushed me on the bed.

    She took a few leaves and sprinkled some powder on it. ¡°Eat this my darling so your wound would heal and you would be able to breath better¡± She said as she ced it in my mouth.

    I chewed and swallowedy leaves and it felt like my airway has been cleared and my strength returned to me.

    ¡°Now Micah, fill me up with babes¡±

    ********

    Celeste¡¯s POV

    ¡°There hasn¡¯t been any sign of the king till now.¡± The beta, Derek said. We were all in the meeting room, seated around the table and I was seated next to a chair that was ced next to that of Micah.

    ¡°Some of our men believed that he has been captured by Danna, the high priestess¡± He added while looking at everyone in the room and I slumped on my seat and released a sigh.

    It¡¯s been more than two months since Micah disappeared and still no one has found him. The men who went with him to the Dragon Kingdom said he never got the blood and I am scared that he is dying somewhere.

    ¡°Have you searched the ce he wasst seen in?¡± The redheaded male Delta asked Beta Derek.

    Derek¡¯s jaw was clenched so hard that I feared that might shatter his teeth. He was ring so hard at Delta Leonardo that the whole room could feel the heat. I cleared my throat and the whole room looked at me, including Derek before turning to look at the Beta again.

    He blinked twice and straightened his posture on his seat. ¡°Oh course, we¡¯ve searched there a hundred times but still no clue¡± He told the whole room.

    I rest my hands on the table and thought for a moment. ¡°I think it would be better if we still go back to the hill.¡± I started and Derek looked shocked while Leonardo had a smirk ying on his face.

    ¡°Since it was thest ce he was seem, there might be some clue there¡± I finished and the whole room was quite for a while.

    ¡°I think that would be a waste of time. Our men has searched the ce a few times and there is still nothing¡± Said one of the older men in the room and everyone agreed with him.

    ¡°Well, I think he was captured by the dragon king¡± One of Loyal soldier said and Leonardo shook his head.

    ¡°That doesn¡¯t make any sense,¡± Delta Leonardo said while getting on his feet. ¡°If The Dragon king wanted him captured, then why would let her let King Micah and his men go, then capture him?¡± He asked the room with a smug look and we were all silent.

    Even though I felt like Delta Leonardo is up to something and hate his gut he was right. Why would he let him go then go through all the stress to capture Micah.

    I released a groan and balled my hands into a fist. This shit was stressful the hell out of me.

    ¡°I think it would be safer to start searching from thest ce the King wasst seen then. ¡± Beta Derek finally agreed as he looked at me and I gave him a small smile. ¡°But, I will be taking the witch with me this time¡± He added and my smile turned into a frown.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think that would be necessary¡± I was quick to babble. Some agreed with me saying she might be working with the enemies and some agreed with the Beta.

    ¡°Mdy, if the King has been captured by the High priestess, i think it would be better to have a trusted witch by our side¡­ The King¡¯s trusted witch. She would use her magic in finding clues or even the King¡± Beta Derek exined.

    ¡°Well, I am going with you and the others¡± I chimed in with my chin high.

    Everyone looked confused except Leonardo of course, he seemed amused by all this. Through out the months that Micah has been missing, I have never once asked to join the troops in the search of the King.

    ¡°Of course not!¡±

    I turned my head to look at Beta Derek and with a brow raised I asked ¡°And why not?¡±

    Derek narrowed his eyes at and with a clenched jaw hard. ¡°It would be hard trying to find the King and also protect his mate at the same time¡± He gawped and then released a sigh.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure the King would love toe back to his castle and see that his mate is safe¡± He mumbled those words tiredly and I suddenly felt bad.

    This men have been working endlessly, trying to protect the Castle from intruders and also Finding their King and here I was, adding to there already full te.

    ¡°Of course¡± I agreed with a forced smile.

 Chapter 19

    Celeste¡¯s POV     I stood at the top of the stairs looking down at the men as they got ready to leave the castle in search of my mate for the ninth time in two months. There was a single horse among the men, and I knew who it was meant for.

    I could hear footsteps, and without looking back, I already knew who it was and my mouth formed a thin line.

    ¡°A shame you won¡¯t be able to join us in search of your mate,¡± Devina said.

    I turned my head to the side for a brief nce and scoffed when I saw a sly smirk on her red lips. Devina had a green cloak over her brown shirt and ck trousers.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need to,¡± I muttered, even though deep down, I was dying to go. not only to look for the missing king, but also to see whaty beyond the pce walls.

    finally fulfill one of my greatest wishes.

    ¡°Of course you don¡¯t!¡± Devina snickered. With a flip of her cap, she walked down the stairs to the men.

    A man was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs and took the bag that was on her shoulders. He strapped it to the side of the horse and also helped her climb the horse.

    I watched them and wished that she would just fall off and get kicked by the horse, breaking her perfect face.

    My eyes moved from Devina to Beta Derek, but he was already staring at me. I clenched my jaw tight and balled my hands into fists behind me.

    Stupid man, I thought. If only he had allowed me to go with them, I wouldn¡¯t be stuck in the castle, bored to hell. Not even Fallon seems to interest me anymore.

    Beta Derek gave me a slight nod, and I returned it with a nod of my own. With that, the soldiers started shifting into their beast form, and the gates were pulled open for them.

    I stood there, watching them ride and run until they were out of the gate and it was finally closed. With a heavy sigh, I turned back and entered the castle.

    On my way back to her room, I bumped into Delta Leo. I muttered a quick excuse and stepped aside, but he grabbed my arm tightly before I could go.

    Since the day I saw him in the library with the mysterious man, and with the look he gave me that day, I have tried to stay clear of his path, but it seems like my luck has run out.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± I asked him, looking at each side to see if there was anyone around, but there wasn¡¯t, and I muttered a silent curse.

    Leonardo wouldn¡¯t do this, of course, if there was a single soul in sight. In fact, I felt like he nned the whole ¡°leaving me thing¡± just so he could have this moment with me.

    ¡°We need to have a little chat, Dear Kingsmate.¡± He whispered into my ear and shivered in disgust as his lips touched my ear.

    I took in a shaky breath and slightly turned my head to look at him. ¡°Well, I am not interested in having a chat with you,¡± I said with confidence, but I could literally hear my heart beating so hard in my chest and my body had a little quiver to it. ¡°Now, let me go,¡± I added, giving him a deadly re, and all he did wasugh.

    Dammit! Where are the maids and guards when you need them?!

    Leonardo looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he dragged me by the arm and I hissed as his long nails dug into my arm when I tried to free myself from his death grip.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    ¡°Dammit! Let me go! ¡± I hissed and he quickly turned around and pushed my back to the stone wall and inserted four of his fingers deep into my mouth so that I began to choke on them.

    ¡°Shut your trap or you¡¯ll get more than a choke.¡± Leonardo gritted out, moving the hand that was wrapped around my arm up to my neck and tightening his grip so that my eyes began to water.

    I quickly nodded, and he pulled his hand out and ripped my spit on his leather jacket while I was slouched over, massaging my throat and taking in deep breaths.

    He pushed the door to the library open and let go of me. I rubbed around the red mark that had started to form around my arm.

    I red at the back of his head as he locked the door and turned to face me. ¡°Sit¡±, he ordered, but I stood my ground and watched him slowly stalk towards me.

    Leonardo grabbed my shoulders and pushed me to the sofa. I was in shock and could not even react.

    ¡°Now,¡± he said, taking in a long breath and bending his back so he was eye-to-eye with me, and I gripped the edge of the sofa so tight. ¡°Did you tell anyone what you saw on that day, hmm?¡±

    I rolled my tongue across my lips and his green eyes darted down to my lips for a second before moving back to my eyes.

    ¡°Answer!¡± He growled out, smacking the space between my ears, and I jumped up a little in fear at how loud it was.

    ¡°N-No¡± I quickly answered in a shaky voice and gripped the sofa even harder so that it began to tear.

    Delta Leonardo stood straight and walked around the sofa before finally stopping behind me.

    ¡°If my mate finds out about what you did to me-what you¡¯re doing to me, he will have your head for it!¡± In a raged voice, I growled.

    Leonardo chuckled and ced his head on my temple. ¡°Would he now?¡± he asked Huntley, and I held my breath that he might do something.

    God, this man is so fucking terrifying.

    ¡°I wonder how he would react to finding out that his beloved mate was fucking another woman while he was away.¡± Leonardo gasped in fake concern, and my heart literally stopped beating.

    My mouth was moving but no words coulde out. How did he find out? I made sure the doors were always locked and that I and Fallon were in the bathroom when plesuring each other. I quickly sputtered in a shaky voice, ¡°I-I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡±

    Leonardo snorted and put a few strands of my hair behind my ear. ¡°Of course you don¡¯t.¡±

    He finally moved from behind me to stand in front of me once more, but I couldn¡¯t look at him in the eyes this time. I feared that he might use my secret against me if he saw how afraid I was.

    ¡°So, let¡¯se to apromise,¡± he stated, and that did catch my attention, and I couldn¡¯t help but look at him.

    He had a smug look on his face as he stared me down, like he was a god and I was a meremoner.

    ¡°You tell no one about what you say and I¡­¡± He bent a little to ce his right hand on my shoulder and his lips closer to my ear. ¡°I will keep your dirty little secret from the King,¡± he added, and I quickly nodded with my eyes closed. ¡°Good,

    ¡± Leonardo whispered in my ear. ¡°But before I go,¡± he added, and I felt his palm sliding down to my left breast.

    He released a sigh and folded the mold between his palms, and that was when I snapped.

    What the hell am I doing? Letting a disgusting man touch me just for a damn secret?

    Who am I kidding? Even if Micah finds out, he won¡¯t care because he wants me! He wants a mate and wouldn¡¯t dare harm me because he knows he would lose me.

    I pped Delta Leonardo¡¯s hand away from my breast and red at him. ¡°Get away from me, you disgusting fuck!¡± I screamed at his face, and he was taken aback by my outburst.

    I guess he wasn¡¯t expecting that.

    I got up and pushed him away from me. He stumbled and fell on the rug-covered floor, and that was when the door was finally pushed open and a maid was standing there with a broom in her hand.

 Chapter 20

    Micah¡¯s POV

    ¡°You look so beautiful with your stomach filled with my babies, my love,¡± I mumbled into the dark silky hair of one of my women, Lorelei, as I kept rubbing from her swollen stomach down to her scales.

    ¡°That tickles Micah.¡± She giggled, and I couldn¡¯t help but smile.

    A groan came from behind me and an arm wrapped around my waist, ¡°Ugh, shut up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m trying to sleep,¡± Linda muttered, cing the tip of her red tail on my legs.

    I turned around andy on my back with my arms folded across my chest. How could I not love this woman? They are the reason why I am still alive.

    Arista told me that she found me at the bottom of the ocean, wounded and on the verge of death, and she saved my life.

    Although I have no single recollection of my memories, I know that I and the women are of different species.

    I was of thend and they were of the sea, but that still wouldn¡¯t make me leave them.

    I love them dearly.

    After a few minutes of silence and thinking, I slowly got up from the bed, mindful not to wake my wife, and looked around the room.

    Seven mermaids, all sleeping soundlessly with their heavily swollen bellies. Fuck, I did all this. I would soon be a father, and I couldn¡¯t be happier.

    There was someone else missing in the room, Arista. For a few nights now, I have noticed that my mistress was always missing from the room.

    Does she not want to sleep in the same room as me? Did I do something to upset my mistress, Arista?

    I had to find her and ask. I need to ask her why she doesn¡¯t sleep with me and the others anymore.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.

    I swam out of the room, my long white hair moving slowly behind my head. I checked every room in the recovered ship but couldn¡¯t find her.

    ¡°Where is she?¡± I asked no one in particr but myself. She wasn¡¯t in our home, and I wondered where she could have gone sote at night.

    I swam to therge hole in the ship that led in and out of our home and stood there. I was never allowed to go out of the ship. The mistresses said it was dangerous and if I left, I could get eaten by the monsters of the sea or go missing, and without taking my breathing leave, I would die.

    But the thought of Arista angry with me kept bugging me, and as I kept looking at the dark water, I felt like there was something out there-something I should know about.

    ¡°They would understand,¡± I said to myself, looking back at the dark hallway before turning to look at the water once more.

    A small blue fish was swimming in front of us, but before it could swim further, I grabbed it in my palm and shoved it in my mouth.

    I swam out, using both my hands to push myself further away from the ship.

    The whole ocean was so dark that it was almost hard for me to see and dead that I wondered if we really were in the ocean. It wasn¡¯t even ten minutes when arge gray shark swam right past me, and I was quick enough to move out of the way. ¡°Fuck,

    ¡± I mumbled, resting my back on a rock as I watched it swim away into the dark. It wasn¡¯t even ten seconds before it came back and it was headed straight for me.

    ¡°Shit! Shit! Shit!¡± I cursed and started swimming away from its sharp teeth, but its sharp nose hit me at the center of my back. ¡°Fuck¡±,

    I cursed again as I turned around to face the shark.

    I could feel myself getting angry at the thought of being beaten by such an animal. I clenched my fist into tight balls and when it was almost close to me, I swang my fist and pynched it in its right ck eye.

    The gray shark shook its head and started swimming in a circle around me. The action felt familiar to me-like something that I would do.

    Its dark eyes were watching me, its prey, and my eyes never once left it.

    It came at me again, but I was ready. I slid underneath it and wrapped my arms around it. It continued to trash around, but I made sure not to lose my grip on it.

    I turned us around so I was on top of the shark. My legs were now wrapped around it and I moved my hands to its mouth. It kept snapping its jaws and trashing around. I moved one hand to its sharp nose and the other was ced under its jaw.

    The shark closed its jaws on me and I hissed in pain. The smell of my blood hit my nose, and I knew that it was more than a cut.

    I probably lost a fucking finger.

    With all my strength, I pulled the shark¡¯s jaw open. I saw its eyes widen because it already knew what I was doing to it.

    I was going to rip it into two.

    I pulled harder until it started to bleed from the torn part of its mouth. It moved back with force, and I hit my back on a sharp rock and released a painful groan from the impact.

    ¡°Argh!¡± I screamed when I was finally able to break open its mouth into two pieces.

    I released the shark and it began to sink to the bottom of the ocean. It¡¯s blood mixed with the water, creating a salty metallic smell.

    Bringing my left hand close to my face, I saw that half of my index finger was gone. He was cut in half and probably in the mouth of the death shark.

    I took in a deep breath of water and closed my shaky left palm into a fist. Although the pain was there, it was still tolerable. I sank to the sand and sat next to the dead fish. I tore the hem of my shorts and wrapped them around the half finger to stop it from bleeding.

    Battling with the shark had weakened me and I just felt like going back andying on the bed with my females, but it felt like there was a force pushing me to go forward, like there was a secret that had to be uncovered.

    I decided to listen to the voice in my head and got up and started walking forward.

    After about thirty minutes of walking, I stopped because there was arge mountain of rock in front of me, and just at the peak, I could see a faint light.

    I released a sigh and began to swim up, but it was like an invisible force was pushing me down.

    ¡°I guess I¡¯ll have to climb it then,¡± I muttered to myself as I started climbing.

    It was slippery, and I had a few cuts on my body from the sharp edges of the rock, but I kept on moving.

    The light was getting brighter as I kept climbing, and I could feel my heart beating so fast in my chest.

    I was anticipating what was behind the mountain. My hands started to grow tired and shaky from pushing through the invisible current. I looked down and couldn¡¯t even see the bottom of the ocean anymore.

    Finally, I got to the top, and what I saw wasn¡¯t what I was expecting. It was beautiful-nothing like I have ever seen before.

 Chapter 21

    The water was filled with different species of sea creatures. It had different colorful nts growing on the rocks.

    I looked behind me and everything was ck, dead as I knew it, and then I looked forward to the blue water.

    I was in the middle of the two opposite sides, and I was tempted to go to the clear blue water. I thought Lovette would love it here. I threw my hand to my hair and started pulling at it when a piercing sound passed through my ear.

    It was like that of a woman screaming-crying.

    A blurry face of a woman with red hair popped up in my head.

    None of the females in the sea here have red hair, so it must be from my lost memory.

    Was she a lover of me? a mother? A daughter? Why can¡¯t I see her face? I felt like she was very important to me and a part of me that I never knew existed wanted to find her.

    I ced my hand forward to pass through it, but I couldn¡¯t. It was a wall made out of water. I tried pushing harder to get through it, but it was imprable.

    Frustrated, I banged my hands on it and it made a loud noise, scaring the fish that were on the opposite side of the ck water.

    ¡°What was that?¡± I heard a muffled unknown voice say something, and I stood still. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, probably a fish from the other side,¡± said a voice I recognized.

    Arista.

    There was a small cave at the side of the rock, and I moved closer to it. I stood behind arge stone to hide myself from them.

    Arista was speaking to another female who wasn¡¯t part of her pack. I couldn¡¯t see the unknown female because Arista was right in front of her, but when she moved to the side, I finally got to see her.

    She had no tail.

    She was just like us with two legs, so she must be from thend. The female had a red snake around her neck and was putting on a red long gown that floated around her.

    I was about to make myself known until the woman said my name. ¡°Micah,¡± she said, and I stiffened.

    Had they found me? Did they know I was spying on them?

    I released a silent sigh of relief when I saw that nobody was looking at where I was hiding.

    ¡°Have you killed him?¡± She asked Arista, and my body went rigid. ¡°No¡±,

    Arista told her, and the woman red at her and swam closer to Arista.

    ¡°We had a deal with Arista. I give you a portion to trap the King in your water. He gets you and your pack pregnant and after that, you kill him.¡± She hissed, grabbed Arista¡¯s fin and pulled it so they would be closer to each other.

    The woman¡¯s words were like a stab to my chest. Everything Arista told me was a lie. She never found me at the bottom of the sea. No, she spelled me to stay with her and her packs and get them pregnant.

    I felt disgusted with myself and closed my eyes in anger.

    ¡°I changed my mind, Danna,¡± Arista told the woman, Danna, and I opened my eyes to see the red snake wrapping itself around Arista.

    It was like I waspelled to save Arista from the snake that was choking her. Even with my clouded mind and uncontrobly unbnced body, I knew that what I was doing was the work of the portion still working in my body.

    I jumped out of my hiding spot and ran to the woman. I pushed Danna away from Arista and grabbed the snake and threw it on the wall.

    With clenched jaws, I grabbed Arista¡¯s hand and started swimming away. We weren¡¯t even out of the cave when a rope was wrapped around my legs and pulled me back.

    I let go of Aristas¡¯ hand as my back hit the wall of the cave. I groaned out in pain and tried getting up, but the rope pulled me again to the other side of the cave, and this time, I cried out in pain.

    I looked at my foot and saw that it was the rest of the snake that was wrapped around it. I was too weak to even fight it, so I just let it be.

    ¡°Look at you,¡± Danna said, clicking her tongue as she bent down to my height. ¡°The once powerful king is now weaker than a human.¡± Sheughed and pped her hands like she was rejoicing over my downfall.

    I scoffed and turned my head to the side before turning it back to look at her again. ¡°Who are you?¡± I inquired, curious as to why she despises me so much.

    ¡°Oh, would you like to know?¡± She mocked and stretched her hand toward the red snake, and it climbed up her arm and wrapped itself around her neck.

    Her face became hard as she red at me. I frowned. ¡°I am Danna Hart, High Priestess to the Witches and your downfall.¡± She said, and I frowned.

    ¡°What did I ever do to you?¡± I asked her, curious to know what happened between us.

    ¡°It¡¯s not you, Micah.¡± ¡°It is what your father did to me and my mother, ¡°she whispered, cupping my cheek.

    Arista screamed as she came swimming ready to hit Danna with a stone, but before she could even get close to Danna, A green light shot out of her hand and pushed Arista to the wall.

    My eyes widened when I saw how her tail was twisted at an unnatural angle and she wasn¡¯t moving.

    Arista is dead.

    Danna scoffed and turned her head toward me. ¡°Now, to get rid of you,¡± she muttered, and got up.

    Before she could do anything, the cave began to shake and the stones began to fall. A stonended on Danna¡¯s shoulder, and she moved out of the way with a hiss.

    She turned to re at me and, with a huff, she said, ¡°Next time Micah, I promise that your death will be so miserable and painful, you will wish you were never born.¡± And with that said, she vanished into thin air.

    I crept up to Arista¡¯s body and flipped her on her back. I ced my hand on her stomach. Even though I resented Arista for what she had done to me, she was still carrying my child.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    She slowly opened her eyes and I cupped her cheek in my palm. Go Micah, Go, you are free. I¡¯m so-so, so-rry. ¡±

    After she said those words, her body went stiff.

    A stonended on my back, and I clenched my jaw and closed my eyes. I noticed Arista¡¯s right palm was closed around something, and when I opened it, there was a glowing blue pendent ne in it.

    I took it and quickly ran out of the cave before it could copsepletely on me.

    I looked down at the ne in my hand and released a sigh. The whole water was shaking like there was an earthquake, and when I looked up, the water was diving, and I released a chuckle.

    My people hade for me, and with that, I wore the blue ne around my neck.

 Chapter 22

    Lovette¡¯s POV

    There¡¯s I was again-the same dream I had the night Micah left the Castle. I couldn¡¯t sleep because anytime I close my eyes, I keep seeing the woman with the red snake. There was a knock on the door and I sluggishly got up from the bed to answer it.

    Fallon was standing outside, with her head bent, drenched from head to toe. ¡°What happened to you¡± I gasped, urging her in and locking the door behind us.

    She was sobbing silently and I ced my hand on both of her shoulders and shook her gently.

    ¡°What happened?¡± I asked again with worry. She slowly raised her head up and I gasped at therge purple bruise that had form on her cheek.

    She sniffles and closed her eyes. ¡°They d-did it again.¡± She cried out, falling on the floor and hugging her knees. ¡°Six of t-them¡± She added and cried harder.

    I clenched my fist and jaw tightly at the thought of six men forcing themselves on her. Even since I pushed the man who had his hand up Fallon¡¯s thigh down the stairs, The men have been attacking her more and it felt like it was my fault.

    Who am I kidding? It is my fault.

    I released a sigh and took her into my arms and rest her head on my shoulder. ¡°Shh¡­¡± I mumbled, rocking her from side to side.

    After ten minutester, she stopped crying but asionally sniffle or wipe her nose. ¡°You should go back to your room¡± I told her, pushing her slightly so I could look at her face.

    She worried her lips and looked at the door then at me. ¡°Let me stay her¡­ Please¡± She begged in a raspy voice.

    ¡°You can¡¯t¡± I told her, closing my eyes and running my palm down my face.

    ¡°Please,¡± she begged me as she grabbed the hem of my night gown. ¡°They might be waiting for me¡± Fallon added with tears pooling in her eyes.

    ¡°Fuck, Fallon. This isn¡¯t safe anymore, Leo already knows about us and he migh-¡± ¡°Just this night¡± She said cutting me off.

    I look at the bruise on her neck then to her face and releasd a sigh. ¡°Just this night¡± I mumbled, repeating the same words she said.

    I sat on the bed while Fallon took a shower in the bathroom. Fifteen minutester, she came out with a towel wrapped around her chest.

    ¡°Here, take this.¡± I mumbled, handing her one of my night gown. She replied with a thank you and snatched the material from my hand and quickly shrug it on.

    ¡°Come here¡± I said with a smile, patting the bed for her to sleep on. She got under the cover and we were sleeping, facing each other.

    I was shocked when Fallon brought her lips on mine and kissed me hard. I moved my head to the side and sat straight on the bed with a sigh.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    ¡°We can¡¯t keep doing this¡± I told her and when I looked at her, I could see the hurt written on her face.

    She sat up and took my hands in hers. ¡°Why?¡± She asked with her lips turned down.

    ¡°You will be in danger if we keep doing this. Delta Leo might hurt you, or worst, tell the King¡± I sighed and fear shed across her face for a second.

    ¡°I like you and don¡¯t want to see you hurt¡± I mumbled, cupping her good cheek in my palm.

    ¡°Like me?¡± She asked with a frown.

    ¡°Yes,¡± I said confused about why she was frowning. ¡°Don¡¯t you¡­ Don¡¯t you love me?¡± She asked me and I dropped my hand from her cheek and looked at the ground.

    ¡°No¡± I muttered and she let out a sigh.

    ¡°Can we do it for thest time?¡± Fallon asked and I snap my head to look at her but her head was cast down. ¡°I wanted to be touched by someone I love¡± She added and I balled my hands into fists.

    ¡°Please,¡± She begged as she cupped my face and brought her lips closer to mine.

    She moved her lips against mine and reluctantly, I ced my hands on her tiny waist and pushed her to the bed andid between her spread legs.

    Her hands moved from my face to grab my butt and I moan into her mouth. I broke the kiss and Fallon opened her eyes to look at me. Her face was Confused and lust.

    ¡°Ass up¡± I said breathlessly and she did as I requested. I pulled the short blue gown up her head and threw it to the floor.

    I grabbed her left breast gently and went in to kiss her but she turned her head away. ¡°Take yours off too¡±

    I quickly discard the clothing and m my lips on her soft ones. I kissed down her neck to her breast and popped a nippled in my mouth. ¡°Lovette¡­¡± She moaned my name breathlessly, grabbing a fistful of my hair and pushing my face harder on her chest.

    I moved to the next breast, giving it the same attention. Kissing down her stomach, I could feel the muscles clenched as I ran my tongue across her navel.

    Slowly, I moved my right hand up her thighs and gently pressed my thumb on her clit and she hissed. I paused and looked up at her.

    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± I asked her and she shook her her.

    ¡°Not with you¡±

    That was all I needed to keep rubbing on her sweet spot. I couldn¡¯t take it any longer as I moved my body down north, spread her legs wider and fucked her with my tongue.

    Fallon moaned so loud that I feared that the beast outside would hear what was going on here. She grabbed my hair once more and pressed my face harder on her pussy.

    I couldn¡¯t help but slide my left hand between my legs and rub on my clit as I kept sucking, biting and licking Fallon¡¯s heat.

 Chapter 23

    This chapter involves rape. Trigger Alert:     The door burst open and, standing there, was the King. Fallon and I shrieked back in fear as Micah stormed towards us, and he was seething with anger. ¡°Mi-Micah,

    ¡± I stammered, his name as I pressed the sheet harder on my chest.

    ¡°Is this what you have been doing while I was away?¡± He growled out, his ws extended, his features in between a beast and a man. I couldn¡¯t say a word as I cowered my head down in shame.

    When I looked up and behind Micah, standing behind the broken door was Delta Leonardo, with a smirk on his lips. She cried out when Micah

    pulled Fallon out of the bed, and she cried out when his ws dug into her flesh and blood trailed down her arm.

    ¡°Is this what you have been fucking while I was battling for my life and thinking about my whore of a mate?¡± He asked in a growl again and grabbed a fistful of Fallon¡¯s hair and yanked her head back and yelled in pain.

    ¡°Please¡­ stop,¡± Fallon begged Micah, bringing her free arm up to her head.

    I jumped out of bed, not caring that I was naked before Leo, and tried pulling Fallon away from him. ¡°Micah, let her go!¡± I screamed at him, and he pushed me away.

    I fell to the ground and smacked my head on the floor, and I could feel blood trailing down from the cut.

    ¡°If a good fuck was all you wanted, you should have told me.¡±

    When I looked back up, Micah angled Fallon¡¯s naked body towards me, and I knew what was going to happen.

    Before I could say a word, Micah¡¯s wed hand passed through Fallon¡¯s chest from the back and yanked both her left breast and heart out of her body.

    Fallon¡¯s left hand was stretched out to me, and just a single word came out of her mouth.

    ¡°Lovette¡­¡±

    I could only watch in shock and sob silently as her body dropped to the floor and blood pooled around her body.

    Fallon¡¯s body parts were thrown to the side, and I stared at how each drop of blood dropped from his fingers onto the rug. ¡°Leave,

    ¡± Micah hissed, and I clumsily got up and tried running to the door, but Micah stopped me by grabbing me by the right arm. I looked up at him in fear that he might take my heart out like he did to Fallon.

    ¡°Not you,¡±

    Delta Leonardo, who stood by the door enjoying the show, quickly rushed out of sight. Micah turned me around and pushed my chest tightly against the wall, and I gasped in fear.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± I stammered in fear as he pressed harder on my back.

    ¡°Going to fuck your brains out for you to know that you are mine.¡± He sneered into my ear and I shuttered.

    ¡°What! No! You can¡¯t do that! ¡± I cried out, struggling against his hold, but it was all in vain.

    I could hear the flyer of his trousers being pulled down and his ck dropped to the floor.

    ¡°Please stop!¡± I begged, when his bloody left hand ttened against my stomach and pushed my ass out.

    ¡°This is what you get for being a whore.¡± He growled in my ear and I closed my eyes and sobbed.

    I could feel his shaft in between my legs, and in one shove, he pushed himself into me and a cry broke out of my mouth. I wed at the wall as he kept pounding into me with force.

    ¡°Open your eyes!¡± Micah shouted in my ear, but I kept them closed tightly. He moved his bloody hand from my stomach and grabbed my neck.

    ¡°Open,¡± a thrust. ¡°Your¡± another thrust. ¡°Eyes¡± A harder thrust

    I gasped, moaned, and opened my eyes when Micah¡¯s left hand moved from my hips to rub my clit. He also moved his right hand from my neck to grab my chin.

    ¡°I want you to look at her,¡± he said breathlessly. ¡°I wanted you to look at her body as I pounded into you.¡± As I please you, ¡°he groaned and angled my head so I would be staring into Fallon¡¯s lifeless eyes.

    ¡°You did this,¡±

    I hissed, and mmed my hand on the wall when his thrusts became rougher. ¡°Please stop!¡± I begged, and he turned my head to look at him, his fingers digging painfully into my chin.

    ¡°Why should I stop, huh?¡± He asked and paused his movement. Micah turned me around and grabbed my legs and wrapped them around his waist.

    ¡°You promise me,¡± he mumbled, his facial features turning back to those of a man once more.

    Tears ran down my cheek and I turned my head to the side. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I muttered.

    ¡°I tried, I really tried, but I just couldn¡¯t love you,¡± I added, turning to face him. His eyes showed me how broken my words made him, but his face was as hard as stone.

    In a split second, he grabbed my neck and began to choke me. I was struggling to breathe and began hitting his chest.

    ¡°Why!¡±? He yelled in my face, with his canines growing out.

    ¡°Because I hate you!¡± I snapped at his face. ¡°I hate you so much even though I tried to love you,¡± I added with a sob.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think I can ever love you, Micah.¡±

    He stopped choking me and dropped my body to the floor. Micah turned around and picked up his trousers and put them on. I just sat on the floor naked and sobbed silently with my legs folded and covered with my blood. My intimate parts and neck were sore from Micah¡¯s harsh treatment.

    Micah walked away but pursed when he was at the door. ¡°Get some sleep, we are leaving for the high mountains at dawn.¡± And he left.

    Tears ran down my cheeks and I grabbed the rug in anger.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    I released a shaky breath and looked over to Fallon¡¯s lifeless body. I have to leave this ce.

    I have to find a way to escape Micah.

 Chapter 24

    I blinked my eyes open at the bright light shining on my face. I looked around and saw that I was still naked andying on the floor. When I looked over to where Fallon¡¯s body was supposed to be, it was gone, but the blood was still there and dried up.

    I got up and winced when the pain I felt between my legs was intense. I looked between my legs and sighed at the sight of the dried up blood. I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

    The warm water felt nice and Iwished that it could wash away my pain and sorrow. I was attached to Fallon, as much as I tried to deny it, and seeing her die like that was like a stab in the heart. It was like

    a part of my heart had been cut off with hers.

    I scoffed and choked on my spit as a realization came crashing down on me like a heavy brick.

    I didn¡¯t just like Fallon like I said I did. I was only saying those things and lying to myself because I was trying to please the king.

    No, I loved Fallon. I love her.

    My legs were too weak to support me and I fell to the floor and cried, cried for my love that was gone.

    The bathroom door opened and my heart fluttered in fear as I saw Micah standing there. He had a cold expression as he looked me over, like I was scum in his eyes.

    ¡°Be ready in fifteen minutes,¡± he said, and turned around to walk away.

    I quickly got up and took a towel from the hamper and wrapped it around my waist. ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± I said aloud when I was in the room and Micah¡¯s steps came to a halt. For a few seconds, there were

    no words said between us, and the only sounds that could be heard were my ragged breathing and the drops of water from my wet hair to the floor.

    Micah scoffed and turned around, and I held the towel tightly to my chest.

    ¡°You will obey my orders.¡± ¡°You are going with me to the castle, and that is final,¡± he growled out.

    I looked at the floor as a single drop of water fell to the floor and scoffed. ¡°Orders?¡± I asked and raised my head to look at him. ¡°Or would you rape me into following it?¡±

    Micah¡¯s body tensed up, and he clenched his jaws and balled his hands tight.

    ¡°You forced me to do it,¡± he hissed out, and Iughed. My throat pushed out as Micah stomped over to me, pushed me to the wall, and grabbed my cheeks, making them hollow.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    My hand left the towel and moved to grab Micah¡¯s big arm. ¡°You should have waited for me, Lovette. You should have tried harder, but you gave up on us before we had a chance.¡±

    I red into Micah¡¯s grey eyes as he muttered those words. With both hands, I pulled Micah¡¯s left hand away from my cheek, and I made sure not to break eye contact.

    ¡°I loved her. I loved her so much, but you took her away from me. Since the first time I saw you, I have loathed you. I hated you so much. Do you know why? ¡± I asked him as a wobbly smirk formed on my lips and tears began to gather in my eyes.

    ¡°Because you took away what I cherished the most, my mother. And now, I hate you more because you killed my love. ¡±

    Micah¡¯s lips were in a tight line as he looked down at me. Apart from clenching his jaw, he had no expression on his face.

    He moved away from me and turned his back to me. I quickly bent down to pick up the towel that I hadn¡¯t noticed had fallen and wrapped it around myself.

    Micah turned towards me again and looked up at the ceiling. He closed his eyes and clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and all I did was watch him.

    He let out a sign and lowered his head to look at me. ¡°I will not apologize for what I have done. You are my mate and should only be with me. We are going to the Dragon Kingdom and that is final.¡± He snapped, and I red at him.

    ¡°You need me¡­¡± I stated, and he looked confused.

    I slowly walked over to him and ced my hands on his chest. in the same ce where the snake-dagger had impaired into his flesh.

    ¡°You need me because¡­¡± Slowly, I pulled Micah¡¯s shirt above his head and dropped the ck material on the floor. I looked at his chest in satisfaction to see that the poison had spread to his shoulders.

    I ced my right hand on his chest and used the other to trace each ck vein, and Micah tensed up from the touch. I finished with augh. ¡°You couldn¡¯t get the dragon kings¡¯ blood.¡±

    ¡°He requested  for me before he could give it to you right.¡± Iughed again and pped my hands together like a crazy woman.

    I stoppedughing and looked him deep in the eye before moving closer to him. ¡°Oh Micah, I would be the end of you,¡± I mumbled into his eyes.

    All the king did was chuckle and step back. ¡°Dear mate, I have lived for hundred of years and will continue to do so. There is nothing you can do¡­ not while I have your mother in my dungeon.¡±

    My eyes widen, and I stumble backwards. ¡°Mom?¡± I said to myself. Micah chuckled again and came closer to me.

    He brushed a wet strand of red hair that had stuck to my forehead and ced it behind my ear. ¡°Oh yes, darling, your mom isn¡¯t dead.¡± He whispered in my ears, just like how I did to him.

    I snapped my head up and red at his face. ¡°Is this some kind of joke?¡± I sneered, and Micah smirked.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t youe see for yourself?¡±

 Chapter 25

    The sight of my mother¡¯s battered bodyying on the floor of the dungeon would forever be in my head. She was almost unrecognizable, but I still knew that it was her. The fact that Micah threatened to kill her if I ever tried to escape made me even angrier, but there was nothing I could do. I had to keep my mother safe.

    Micah and I were on a horse that would take us to the High mountain since it was a long journey and walking there would take up to two weeks.

    There was no words shared between the King and I and the tensed atmosphere was suffocating me. The horse stumbled a little from all rocks and gripped Micah¡¯s thighs for support and quickly let it go like it had burnt me.

    The king released a huff but said nothing else and it was silent again. It wasn¡¯t long that the night came upon us and I began to have cramps in my legs.

    ¡°I need to take a shit¡± I spoke after a day of silence between us. Micah pulled the rope of the horse and it came to a halt and he jumped down.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    I gripped to the horses side tightly in fear that I would fall. Micah stretched his hand towards me to help me get down but all I did was re at it. re at the same hand that had taken the life of my lover.

    With my head high and my back straight, I grabbed on to the horses hair and tried jumping down but stumbled a few times before getting my barring. I huffed as Micah looked at me with a brow raised and tugged down my pants.

    I stumbled my way through the dark woods trying to find a perfect spot to ease myself. I suddenly realized that I had gone too far and clicked the roof of my tongue in annoyance.

    ¡°Micah?¡± I called out into the cold night when I heard a twig snap. There was no response to the call and my hart began to pound against my chest. Even though the night was cold, my palms were sweaty because I knew something was not right.

    My breath caught in my lungs when I heard it again, and I turned my head to where the twig had snapped. I screamed out and used my hands to cover my face when a figure came running towards me.

    When I opened my eyes, the figure of arge bear was in front of me and before I could scream again, it swinged it¡¯s wed paw towards me and I fell to the floor. Unmoving.

    Just then, the moon suddenly came out from where it was hiding behind the cloud and I could see what was happening.

    With unfocused sight, I watched as the King fought the bear in his human form. It wasn¡¯t long that the bear fell to the ground with it¡¯s heart toasted next to it and it¡¯s blood mixing with mine.

    Micah rushed to me and gently ced my head on hisp. I wanted to talk, but I could. I wanted to move my head but it felt like there was no head on my neck, like it had been cut off. But most of all, I wanted to tell micah that he deserved it.

    Even though I was afraid to die, I was also happy to see micah in pain. For he has taken my lover and kept my mother a prisoner he does not deserve a mate, he does not deserve to be loved.

    I looked at Micah¡¯s tear filled face then back to the moon and a smile stretched on my lips.

    What I would give to see the Great King fall to ruins and with thatst thought, the moon went back behind the clouds and I took myst breath.

    *****

    MICAH¡¯S POV

    When i heard my mates scream, I thought nothing of it because I was still angry at her for cheating on me and threatening to leave me. I was so stupid to have let her walk alone in this un save ce. It was my duty to protect my mate and I failed.

    I sat outside the healers home with my head between my thighs and my hands gripping my hair. I wish I could get the image of her slit throat out of my head, the way her blood soaked my clothing and palm. I released my hair and looked at the palm that once had her blood and blood them into fist.

    I am a bad mate. I do not deserve her.

    shes of the things I did to her the night before upied my mind and I dropped to the floor and scream out to the night.

    How could I¡­ How could I have been so cruel to rape my mate. I used her of been unfaithful but so was I. How could I¡­?

    Angrily, i got up and ran to the woods so fast that i didn¡¯t know when I reached a waterfall. My nose flirted as i pulled my pants down and gripped my soften dick in my palm. I gritted my teeth as I tighten my hold on it until it became painful.

    I hissed and let go of it then bent down and scooped some wet sand in my right palm. I ced my dick on it and started jerking. I hissed and groaned in pain but didnt stop.

    ¡°This was how she felt¡± I said to myself. ¡°This was how she felt Micah so take it¡±

    I dropped to the floor and released a shaky breath. When looked at my hand, it was covered in soft skin and blood. I scoffed and looked down at my dick just to see it was already healing up. Although there was a sting and would probably scar I would be fine.

    I could hear the healer calling for me and I quickly put my pants on and rushed back to the cabin.

    ¡°Is she alive¡­¡± I asked the healer, afraid that I might get a negative answer.

    The healer smiled and pulled the curtain to her cabin open, ¡°Come see yourself¡±

 Chapter 26

    Lovette¡¯s POV

    I was confused. Confused about what the fuck was going on. Micah sat at the foot of the bed holding my hand so tightly in his that it was almost painful. I hissed and jerked my hand until he noticed and his hold became gentle.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Lovette¡± he spoke softly, bringing the back of my hand to his lips and cing a soft kiss on the inside of my palm.

    ¡°Micah, what¡¯s going on?¡± I inquired of him, still confused about what was happening.

    I knew what happened on our way to the Dragons- My throat was shed open by the bear and I should be dead.

    I slowly brought my left palm up to my throat and there it was-, the evidence of what I thought happened did happen.

    I turned my head to look at Micah and with tear filled eyes and shaky lips I whispered to him, ¡°I should be dead¡±

    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t let that happen¡± The king firmly stated with a hard tone. I shaked my head and withdraw my hand from Micah.

    ¡°No Micah,¡± Iughed with tear filled eyes. ¡°I wanted to die¡± I told him as I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked at him.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    Micah jaw clenched so hard that I thought a canine would break and the look in his eyes were so deadly that it could kill. But that was what I wanted, to end it all and be dead.

    ¡°I won¡¯t let that happen¡±

    Augh left my lips and I got up from the bed only to stumble and I  used the wall to support myself. Micah got up to help me with his hands stretched out to support my weight but a re from me made him halt in his moves and he sat down in the bed with balled fist.

    ¡°I¡¯m tired¡± I whispered as I looked up at the roof of the house. ¡°I¡¯m tired of it all and just want it to end¡± I added and  a single tear dropped from my right eye which I was quick to wipe with the back of my palm.

    This time Micah got up and rushed to me but I didn¡¯t have the energy to stop him again. He held my cheek between his palms and made me look at him and a single word from him made me break down.

    ¡°Please¡±

    I grabbed his palms as my body began to shake and my emotions could not be kept at bay. Every pain, every betrayal and heartbreak came crashing down on me like a thousand ice.

    My legs could no longer hold my weight and I fell to the ground with Micah right next to me. He pulled me to his chest and held me tightly in his arms.

    ¡°I hate you¡± I said with mocose running down my nose and I wiped it with the back of my palm. I turned my head to Micah¡¯s chest and wrapped my arms around his waist. ¡°I hate you so much¡± I whispered into his chest.

    I took a long sniff of him and my lungs instantly filled with his scent and my body began to rx. It is quite funny that I am takingfort in the man who brought me so much pain and took my life away from me but I didn¡¯t have the energy to even break augh.

    My eyes became heavy and slowly I began to drift into slumber. Micah kissed the top of my head and brought his lips to my ear and whispered. ¡°I swear on my life Lovette, I will serve you and beg you till the day you forgive¡±

    I hummed, having no words for him because I knew they were all empty promises and lies.

    ******

    When I woke up, it was already night time and I found myself in bed while Micah was fast asleep on the chair next to me. His big frame was angled in an awkward position but I did not care enough to make him sleep in the bed with me.

    I rolled the nket that was on the bed into a ball and tiptoed out of the hut with it. I looked up to the sky and saw that the moon was shinning beautifully and closed my eyes with a small smile gracing my face. The air was calm and it looked like a beautiful time to take a walk in the woods with the light from the moon guarding me.

    I knew that if I was in trouble, Micah woulde running to save me so I took my first step into the woods.

    It felt like I had only been walking for some minutes but I knew it was quite past an hour and and decided to go back to the hut. I heard the sound of leaves been crunched under a boot and cursed myself for going this deep into the forest.

    ¡°Who¡¯s-¡± I stopped talking, realizing that I would only be drawing attention towards myself and just kept on walking. I pulled the nket that I had taken from the hit closer to my body and increased my speed.

    The sound of a person following me was closer and I began to panic. I suddenly came to a stop and my breath hitched in my throat with a bony hand grabbed my shoulder.

    I gulped as it slower turned me around and I was faced with a short hoodie person. Their hands shakily left my shoulder and my body rxed a little when I realized it was just an olddy.

    ¡°Do you have any bread to spare?¡± She asked, bringing fort her bony palm up to me and I shook my head.

    ¡°I am sorry, I didn¡¯t bring any with me¡± I said with a gentle smile.

    The olddy brought her hand down and slowly took down her hoodie. I gasped and stumbled back when I saw a ck snake wrapped around her neck and a sinister smile on her red painted lips.

    ¡°Do you have any bread to spare?¡± This time she said with sinister voice and a cry left my lips as she produced a dagger from her mouth.

    I turned around and stumbled into someone and quickly I closed my eyes when I felt to the ground.

    ¡°Lovette!¡± A gentle feminine voice said and I snapped my eyes open to see the priestess from this morning standing over me with confusion written all over her face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked me, looking at me then over my shoulder.

    I quickly looked back but was surprised to not see the olddy. Did I just imagined everything that happened?

    ¡°I-there-¡± I stammered, trying to grasped what has just happened but decided it was the after effect of been brought back to life from the dead.

    ¡°It was nothing¡± I smiled at her and she nodded, notpletely convinced which made two of us.

    She stretched her hand to me and as I was about to grab it, a dagger went through her right eyeball and blood sttered all over my face and chest and the priestess wasying face t on the ground.

    The same old woman whom I had just thought I imagined was crunching over her dead body. She pulled the dagger from the back of her head with ease and pointed it toward me with a smile.

    ¡°Now, let¡¯s have some fun¡± Sheughed and I screamed.

    The first word out of my lips was his name,

    Micah.

 Chapter 27

    Lovette¡¯s POV

    Hastily, I got up and ran deeper into the forest, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me with the mad woman right on my tail. Herughs were hauntingly as it rang through the woods.

    ¡°Run faster little one run!¡± She taunts with a mockingugh.

    Tears streamed down my face and my breathing bebored. There was a stream up ahead and within moments I got to it. I had no where else to run to and turned around to see the woman just a few feet away from me.

    ¡°Please¡­¡± I begged her as she took a few steps towards me while I took some backwards. I was surprised to see her features changing into that of a younger woman and gasped when I recognized her.

    ¡°It¡¯s-it¡¯s you!¡± I gasped and moved deeper into the water.

    It was the same woman I saw in my dream a few months ago. The one who had the dagger and a red snake around her neck.

    ¡°What do you want from me?¡± I beseeched, wondering why she would hunt me at length when I have never wronged her.

    ¡°What do you think?¡± She asked back, twisting the dagger between her long fingers while she kept on moving closer to me. I had no where else to run when the water was now up to my hips. I looked at each side but there was no escape route. I was going to die.

    It¡¯s quite funny how I am now scared of the death I had just wished upon myself a few hours ago. I gulped and ballet my hands into fist. At least if I were to die, I wouldn¡¯t go down without a fight.

    The woman threw her arms into the air as sheughed at me. ¡°Are you really going to fight me? How pathetic, the King must be ashamed to have you as his mate¡±

    Her words fueled my anger and with that, I lunged at her. I stumbled when she disappears but quickly turned around and jumped to the left when she tried grabbing me from behind.

    She disappeared once more and I turned around trying to locate her. The sun was slowlying up and what seems to be a chase of a few minutes might have been one for now than two hours.

    ¡°Where are you?¡± I screamed, my voice echoing through a. the woods and chasing away some birds. All I got back with augh and I swiftly turned towards the voice but was met with nothing.

    A fist full of my hair was grabbed behind me and I was dunked into the water below me. I gasped in shock which made water fill my lungs. I tried twisting and wing her her hand but she was too strong. Something slimy slowly wrapped itself around my neck, tightly itself on me painfully until I was being choked in water.

    My hands that were trying to free my hair from the woman moved to my neck and I began to pull. I was in full panic when I began to lose consciousness and my body began to shake from theck of oxygen.

    I gasped, my body greedily taking in the air that it was deprived of as strong arms pulled me out of the water. He swims us over to shore with my body weakly resting on his.

    He dropped my body on the wet sand and I turned over to cough out the water that had filled my lung. I took in deep breaths and panted heavily and when I finally turned back around, I expected to see Micah but the man that kneeing over me was not the King.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.

    I held in my breath and slowly pushed myself backwards with my palm while the man kept staring at me with his cold blue eyes.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked in a breath, quickly pushing a wet red hair away from my eyes and tucking it behind my ears.

    ¡°Where is the King?¡± He asked instead and I quickly looked around but couldn¡¯t find him.

    I turned to look at my left again when I heard growling and the king was standing about hundred feet away from us. He was shirtless and had a few scars and blood covering his body.

    He walked closer to us and that was when I noticed the veins on his body were now wrapping themselves around his neck. The king stopped walking, physically in pain and he fell to his knees gasping and holding his neck.

    I quickly got up and ran over to him with the stranger right behind me. I started to panic when the King¡¯s gray eyes began to turn ck and his body began to shake.

    ¡°Wha-what¡¯s happening¡± I cried out, looking over to the man who was now pressing on Micah¡¯s shoulder to keep him on the ground and from moving. ¡°He¡¯s going to die¡± I said again.

    The stranger took a knife from the side of his shoe, aiming it to Micah¡¯s heart and that was when I jumped into action.

    I pushed the man to the side, hissing out as the knife cut through the skin on the side of my belly. ¡°Leave him alone!¡± I shouted, wrapping my hands around his neck and applying pressure.

    He swiftly turner us around, with him on top of me and his left hand holding my own above my head and his right hand pressing on my chest that was beating loudly.

    ¡°Fuck¡­¡± He hissed turning his head to the side in pain when I kneed him on the penis. And with his right hand now cupping his manhood, I tried using the opportunity to free myself and get back to Micah but his grip on my hand tightened and his right hand now came to grab me by the neck.

    With clenched jaws, he brought his face closer to mine and tighten his grip around my neck till I could no longer breath properly but the re on my face remained the same.

    ¡°I. am. trying. To. Help. Him!¡± He spat thest word at my face and I turned my head when he finally let go of me.

    He dusted his clothes and walked back to Micah¡¯s body that was nowying still on the ground. I got up and stumbled my way to Micah and kneel down next to his body. I grabbed a fist full of sand in case the man tried anything sneaky.  His eyes narrow to my hand and he scoffed before slicing through the skin on his heart.

    I watched his every move as he dropped the dagger next to Micah¡¯s head and brought out a purple glowing liquid out of his bag. He looked at me before releasing a sigh and saying ¡°Devina sent me¡±

    I nodded even though his words did nothing to calm me down. He poured the liquid on Micah¡¯s chest and stretched his hands to him. He began to chant and the ck veins began to glow purple.

    Nothing happened and I began to breath heavily and tears pulled in my eyes. ¡°He¡¯s dead¡± I said in a low voice and the man next to me just shrugged.

    I gasped when blood sshed across my face and the man feel to the ground, holding on to his neck and choking on his blood.

    Micah got up, his still dark eyes looking at me as he brought the dagger that was next to his head up with blood dripping from it. He looked to the nameless man who was nowying still and cleaned the blood on his dark hair.

    ¡°That is what you get for hurting my mate¡± Micah said, getting up and tucking the dagger in his waist band.  I was still kneeing on the sand, shocked by what had just happened.

    Micah turned to me and helped me up but this time, his eyes had turned back to how they were before.

    Gray.

 Chapter 28

    Lovette¡¯s POV

    ¡°Are you hurt?¡± Micah asked, pulling me closer by my waist and tracing his hand over my body to check for any injuries. His jaw clenched when he saw the cut on my side. I grabbed Micah¡¯s hands, cing the inside of my palm on my check as my lips wobbled and tears began to fill my eyes again.

    ¡°Fuck, what¡¯s wrong Lovette?¡± Micah asked in panic. I shaked my head and Micah¡¯srge thumbs wiped away the tears that rolled down my cheek.

    ¡°I thought you were dead¡± I whispered, wiping my nose with the back of my hand and looking into his gray eyes that soften.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    He ced his index finger under my chin and brought his lip close to mine. ¡°I would never leave you¡± He whispered those words until his lips finally touched mine.

    The kiss was gentle¡­ one filled with a promise- a promise that I know he would break.

    With closed eyes, I turned my head to the side and gulped then opened them once more. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t¡­¡± I said with a smallugh and looked up to the king.

    Micah¡¯s brow were furrowed and his lips were parted. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t but I know you want to¡­ You im to hate me but deep down your heart is aching for me.¡± He said those words as he palmed my face in his hands.

    The king was right. I am confused and my emotions are all over the ce.. I tried to push him away because that seems to be the logical thing to do. He has hurt me. hurt the people i love and even forced himself and here I was a few moments ago, crying when I thought he was dead when I clearly should be rejoicing.

    ¡°I do not care if I have to beg you for the rest of my life Lovette, as long as I know that one day, you would forgive me and learn to ept me as your mate¡­ I would wait that long¡± He said and kissed me once more.

    A tear fell from my eye and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders to stop him from breaking the kiss. Micah pulled me closer and I trailed my hand down his back. He kissed my cheek, not caring about the blood that stained my face and neck.

    ¡°I can smell your arousal..¡± Micah growled next to my ear and gently bite the skin which made me moan out and his lips returned to mine, muffling my moans. I could feel his penis poking at my lower belly and pressed myself even closer to him.

    Micah suddenly stopped kissing me and I gasped, wanting more of him. ¡°Do you want me to take you, Lovette?¡± He asked, looking me deep in the eye and I nodded. ¡°Words¡± he added and I replied with a Yes.

    Micah¡¯s chest rumbled and I ced my palm on it. ¡°I promise to be gentle¡± He whispered and I clenched my pussy.

    We were in the middle of nowhere. I was almost killed, he almost died and we have a dead person just a feet away from us and we were about to mate. god, we must be crazy.

    Micah kissed me, but this time it was less than gentle. He kissed every inch of my body and also licking the bloodstains on my face then going back to my lips. His hands moved his hand from my waist and grabbed my clothed breast and I moaned into his mouth.

    The king slowly went down on his knees, his hand trailing my body as he did and his eyes locked on mine. I was a panting mess when Micah¡¯s hand finally stopped at my trouser¡¯s waistband. He brought his nose close to my pussy, inhaling my arousal with a growl before sticking out his tongue and licking me through the material.

    I moaned out, my body reacting in ways I never knew existed. Micah looked up at me with a devilish smile. ¡°Do you want me to eat your pussy, Lovette?¡± He asked while stroking my inner thighs.

    ¡°Yes!¡± I eagerly said with my head tilted up. Micah hummed and hooked his hands around the band of my brown trouser and slowly pulled it down. I waited for the King to make a move but he was silent.

    I looked down and quickly covered myself when I realized the amount of hair that had gathered. It has been two weeks since Ist shaved and was embarrassed.

    Micah groaned, grabbing both of my hands and secured them tightly on the side of my thighs. ¡°Why would you cover yourself from me?¡± He asked with his head tilted to the side as he looked at me.

    Slowly, he let go of my hand and gently spread my thighs for a better view. The king inhaled my scent and his right hand moved to grab his cock though his ck trouser.

    He pressed his thumb against my clit and I released a silent moan and grabbed a fist full of his white hair.

    ¡°Please¡­.¡± I begged in short gasps, wanting more-needing more than just his thumb.

    Micah removed his thumb and I shivered as the cold air hits my sensitive part.

    ¡°Take of your shirt¡± Hemanded and I did as I was told while also kicking the material that had pulled around my feet. Micah got up and discarded his trouser but before I had time to take a glimpse of his penis, he pulled me flush against him and I gasped from from the contact of my bare chest against his and his warm dick on my belly

    He kissed me gently, lowering us on the cold sand and kissing every inch of my face. His lips went down my neck, kissing the spot where he would mark me. He gently bite the skin and smoothen it with his tongue. He grabbed my left breast and I ached my back and moaned out as he kissed and suck the skin.

    I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled his head closer to my breast. ¡°Please..¡± I cried out for more, spreading my legs wider as he rolled his hips against mine, his dick sliding up and down against my pussy.

    god, this felt so fucking good.

    Micah kissed the other breast, giving it the same attention as he did to the other. He raised his head and looked down at my body underneath him. His hand trailed my waist and stopped above my hips. He looked at my face for onest moment before pulling me up against his strong thighs and hooking my legs on his shoulder.

    I took in short shallow breaths abd ced my palm t on the ground. ¡°I will make you feel so good¡± Micah whispered with his eyes directly on my dripping pussy.

    He lowered his head and his warm lips sucked my clit. I moaned out and my eyes rolled to the back of my head.

    Mica grabbed my waist to stop me from moving as my began to shake from how much pleasure it was getting. He removed his right ha d from my hips and wrapped the other around my belly. Micah used his free hand to rub my clit while his tongue worked in easing its way through my wall.

    His tongue went in and out of my pussy and my body began to shake even more. ¡°Stop¡­¡± I begged, not really meaning it and he only growled and went even faster.

    The speed of how fast his tongue was going in and out of me was inhumanly impossible-but he was no ordinary man after all.

    Micah¡¯s tongue left my pussy but was quickly reced with two fingers going in and out of me. He looked down at me, his lips glistering with my wet arousal. I tried getting up and resting on my elbow to get a better view of his fingers going in and out of me but failed as my back ached instead when he curled his fingers inside me.

    The kings eyes wererger as he kept looking at me wittering under his touch. ¡°Do you like that, lovette?¡± He asked, curling his fingers again and I moaned and nodded in response. I couldn¡¯t form any words.

    ¡°Soon you will be filled with my thick dick and I would make sure it feels better than this¡± Micah Whispered, biting my inner thighs and licking the skin down to my clit.

    ¡°Cum for me, my mate¡± He said in between licks and it was like my body was under hismand, doing as it was told.

    My eyes were closed as i screamed and moaned at the same time while I came, my hand grabbing his thighs and digging my fingers into them. Micah hissed out but didn¡¯t pull away.

    When I looked back up, Micah¡¯s eyes were already on mine and blushed from his intense his stare was. ¡°You are so beautiful¡± He whispered like I was the most beautiful thing on heart and my heart skipped a beat and my pussy

 Chapter 29

    It feels so weird having to ride with Micah on a horse like this-with his right hand ced on my waist while the other, holding the rope of the horse. It has been more than an hour since our intense love making and I was quite tired so I leaned back and rested my head on Micah¡¯s shoulder.

    Micah had asked about the woman who attacked me at theke and when I described her to him and told him about the dream I had while he was away, he only clenched his fist and jaw and when I asked if he knew her, he said nothing but I suspected she was the one who sent the man to Kill Micah when I first got to the castle.

    ¡°When are we getting there?¡± I questioned, moving my eyes up to look up at him and I couldn¡¯t help but admire his straight jawline. I was already growing tired of this Journey that did not seem to want to end.

    Micah¡¯s lips twitched, he looked down at me for a second before pulling the horse to a stop and I sat up straight, confused as to why we stopped when we haven¡¯t got there.

    He came down from the horse and stretched his hand to help me get down which I dly epted. ¡°What are you doing?¡± I asked, confused when held my hand and started leading me forward.

    ¡°We are here¡­¡± Heughed when we got to some tall branches and pulled them to the side and I gasped.

    The castle was stationed on top of a mountain which I would not have been able to see here in the forest. ¡°How will we get up there?¡± I turned my head to the king because the ground has cracks withvaing out of it.

    ¡°I will have to carry you my little wolf¡± He answered, turning around to untie the rope of the horse and I walked closer to him, wondering if he was going to take the horse with us up the hot rocky mountain but instead, he pped the horse on the butt and it began to run away and I gasp.

    ¡°How will we get back to the castle?¡± I asked Micah, turning with wide eyes and pping him on the bicep. Heughed and pulled me by my waist. ¡°When the king gives me his blood, we wouldn¡¯t be needing it anyway¡± He replied and ced a soft kiss on my lips.

    I sighed and began walking as Micah led me to the mountain. When we got to the foot of the mountain, I turned my head to look at him, anticipating his next move.

    ¡°The potion Devina sent to me will be enough to let me shift into my wolf and carry you to the castle¡± Micah said, answering my unasked question as he took out the remaining of the portion and drank it. I could see the lines of his vein expand and u wondered if he was suppose to drink that. He groaned and bent his back in pain and I was confused and didn¡¯t know what to do.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

    His body began to shake and his body began to grow. I moved backwards as he started to shift into his wolf. When he was fully transformed, I was confused as to why his once pure white fur now had dark spots allover. Before I could question, he growls and tilts his head to the side signaling that I should get on his back.

    I grabbed onto his fur and struggled to get on to his massive form. Once I was well seated, Micah began to pace up the mountain and I tighten my hold when it felt like I was going to fall backwards.

    Micah grunts and I mumbled a quick ¡®sorry¡¯ and released his fur a little. After fifteen minutes of running, we finally got to the gate that was guarded with two hefty men and I got down from Micah¡¯s back.

    Micah shifted into his human form back and moved to his side from how hard the men were ring at me. They took a sniff of our scent and looked at us with disgust before signaling to the man up with a hand wave and the Iron gate was pulled up.

    My mate held grabbed my hand and I rxed from his smoothening touch. We walked in and I was surprised by how beautiful it actually was and it had really beautiful flowers.

    We soon got to the front gate of the castle and it was pushed open by some guards and we walked in. A man with red hair quite simr to mine seen to have already been waiting for us and he nodded at both Micah and I and and handed Micah a ck robe to put on before he started walking, leading us to where I assume the dragon king was.

    ¡°The king is waiting for you¡± The man said with clenched jaws and I wondered what his problem was-or he was probably irritated at looking at Micah¡¯s dick since his head was cast down and Micah left the robe untied.

    Micah looked down at me and squeeze my hand a little and I nodded. He pushed the door open and I gasped in awe. We were in what seen to be the Dragon king¡¯s study and literally everything was in gold except the books that lined the walls of therge room.

    There was a man standing next to a window with his hands behind his back and a golden crown on his head filled with red hair.  ¡°Hayden¡± Micah called out and he slowly turned around and looked at us with a smirk.

    ¡°Micah¡­¡± he mumbled abs slowly walked to us. Micah¡¯s hand wrapped around my waist when the King was just a few feet away from us.

    ¡°¡­ and mate¡±  he added when he was close enough. ¡°Lovette¡± I told him and he raised a brow while Micah looked down at me with a frown.

    The man took my right hand a ce a gently kiss on it and his body went stiff. I looked at Micah, confused about what he was doing and when I tried pulling my hand away, he tightened his hold on mine to the point that it was painful.

    ¡°Let go of her Hayden¡± Micah growls, trying to get in between Hayden and I but the Dragon king swiftly pushed Micah away and pulled me close to him and I gasped in fear and tried wiggling out of his arms.

    He took a sniff of my neck and before I knew it, his hands went into my pant and I screamed and tried pushing him away. This time, Micah came running towards us and pushed Hayden and the both rolled on the floor. Micah quickly got up and towards me while was on the floor and helped me up.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± He asked, squashing my face between his palm and I shakily nodded. Hayden got up from the ground and Micah turned to look at him with a piercing re.

    ¡°What the hell was that? She¡¯s my mate for goddess sake!¡± He screamed and I held his robe and hid myself behind him.

    Haydenughed and picked up his crown that had feel to the ground. ¡°Quite a shitty job you did trying to hide the scent of the other female on your mate¡± He said as he looking at me and I stiffened. Micah quickly blocked his view by cing himself in front of me.

    ¡°But you are weak Micah. Even your arousal couldn¡¯t hide that your mate has been fucking my mate.¡±
