“She is still recovering, she’s pretty traumatized but she should be able to respond a little. Just be patient with her, father.”
Megan held onto her father’s hand and walked next to him as they walked out of his chamber.As they walked down the hallway to the next building where Megan 's room was, everyone kept bowing and praising Talos.They got to her room and found Ayman and another guard standing next to her door. Megan took the lead and opened the door.Talos walked into the room and Megan shut the door behind them.Immediately Belinda heard the door close, she hurriedly sat up. She was yet to fall asleep because she was worried about Megan not being able to talk to her father.‘I don’t want to return to Alpha Cephas.’ She kept saying to herself.“Belinda, this is my father, King Talos. Father, this is Belinda . The lady I talked to you about.”Belinda wanted to stand and bow to him but Megan hastily stopped her. “You aren’t supposed to stand up, Belinda .”Belinda slowly nodded and looked at Talos. She bowed her head and kept her head lowered until Talos told her to raise her head.“How are you feeling now? Are you fine?” King Talos asked, and Belinda bounced her head.‘Why can’t she talk?’ Talos thought and looked at Megan .“She still can’t express herself well. She hardly speaks.” Megan answered and Talos nodded.‘She does look very pale and malnourished.’ Talos moved away from the bed and looked at Megan .“When she gets better and can explain what happened, bring her to me. I need to ask her some questions.” He said, and Megan nodded.“Yes, father! I will do that. Thank you so much!” She uttered and hugged him again.“I have other things to attend to. I’ll be gone for now.”He looked at Belinda again, and finally walked out of the room.“Yes!” Megan yelled inaudible, and slammed into the bed, next to Belinda . “We did it!” She uttered and Belinda smiled widely.*“She looks innocent, but she can’t be easily trusted. She needs to earn my trust.” Talos said to Ayman after they moved some meters away from Megan ’s room.“What do you want me to do, My King?”“Tell Damon to keep an eye on her. I trust Damon to do the job better than anyone else. He is stronger and isn’t easily moved by emotions. We need to be careful.”“Yes, My King. So we don’t need the other guard?”“Not now. Let Damon do it for now. When it’s the right time, I’ll tell you when he would be needed. The girl needs to feel comfortable if we are going to get any information from her. My son is the perfect person for the job.”“I will do so, My King. The Alpha of Lichen Pack sent a message when you were with Princess Megan. He wants to discuss a private matter with you, My King.”“Lichen pack? Oh, I bet they are here to show their daughters to Damon. I hope he will finally find a wife from among these ones. Or what do you think, Ayman?” He asked, folding his hands behind his back and walking away.“I hope so too, My king.” He answered with a faint smile and a bow.***Megan called on her maids to prepare the milk bath for her and Belinda . Her bathtub was big enough to fit both of them.While they prepared the bath, Damon walked into Megan ’s room. His cold, dark eyes locked with Belinda’s, and she hurriedly looked away in fear.“I see you finally talked to our father.” He muttered.“Without your help. Yes. And don’t worry, he doesn’t know you helped me. Why are you here anyway?” Megan responded sassily.“Don’t give me that attitude. If not for our father, I will not be here.” He scoffed.“What does he have to do with you being here?” Megan inquired.“He asked me to keep an eye on your friend, and I really don’t want to, but you know how our father can be. I guess I’m stuck with you.”“Whatever.” Megan rolled her eyes and gently disconnected the drip from Belinda ’s hand.“Don’t worry, Belinda , I already called my healer and she said you don’t have to have this on anymore. You have taken in all the fluid. All you need to do now is eat, use your medications and rest very well.”Belinda stared at Megan as she spoke. She bounced her head and let out a smile when she was done.“Good. Can you walk now? Or do you still feel pain?”“Yes.” Belinda’s tiny voice struck Damon’s ear, and he arched his brows.‘How is her voice so tiny?’“So she can speak now. Great.” He mumbled.“Damon, back off, okay?” Megan rolled her eyes at him and looked at Belinda . “Damon will have to carry you to the bathroom then.”“What? And why will I do that?” He asked.“Because you can’t just stand there and do nothing! If you aren’t going to help, then leave. I’ll tell our father to look for somebody else, since you aren’t satisfied with his decision. You are carrying her.” Megan insisted.Damon clenched his jaw and rolled his tongue in his mouth. “You’re so lucky you are my younger sister.”“You’re so lucky you have a rare gem like me as a sister.”“My Princess, we are done preparing the bath.” One of her maids stepped out of the bathroom to tell her.“You can all leave, I’ll take care of her. Thank you.” Megan answered.“Why are you telling all of them to leave? Aren’t they supposed to help you instead of me?” Damon asked.“You are the stronger person here. Plus, I don’t think Belinda would be comfortable around anyone except us. All you have to do is carry her to the bathroom, I’ll do the rest.”All this while, Belinda just watched the siblings argue because of her. ‘He doesn’t like me.’ She thought.“Fine.” He answered and began to approach the bed. Megan moved away from the bed so that Damon could carry Belinda .She yanked off the duvet from her body and walked to the bathroom door. She opened it and waited for Damon to carry her.Damon moved very close to Belinda, and Belinda ’s heart began to beat against her chest very fast. ‘What if he hurts me?’Damon looked at Belinda’s face and their gazes locked… again. Her pupil dilated as Damon looked into her big pretty eyes.“Move closer. Stop moving away.” He said to her, and that was when she realized that she was moving away from him.She bobbed and lowered her head as moved closer to him. She was still moving when he swept her off the bed with his hands, making her gasp.“Easy with her, Damon!” Megan yelled.“I didn’t do anything. Did I?” He asked, looking at Belinda , who slowly shook her head and kept her head bowed. His hands felt so strong around her body, and the way he smelled, she loved it.Damon got to the bathroom and carefully made her sit at the edge of the bathtub. Megan took over and made Belinda rest her upper body on her.“Thank you, Damon. You can leave now.”“You don’t have to tell me before I leave.” He answered coldly and walked out of the bathroom. Megan held Belinda ’s arms and looked at her face.“Are you okay?” She asked.“Hm.” Belinda nodded.“Wait… are you blushing? Your face is so red right now.” Megan teased, and Belinda shook her head shyly.Megan broke into laughter and began to remove Belinda ’s clothes.“You don’t have to feel guilty about it, I know my brother is a very hot man. Any woman would blush if he carried them.” She said as she got rid of her shirt.“He… He hates me.” Belinda murmured.“What? No. No, he doesn’t. He is like that with almost everyone. He has a very cold expression and hardly shows feelings or emotions. You’ll get used to it. Don’t worry.”“Hm.” Belinda nodded.“Hold onto the tub. I’ll pull the skirt from here.”Belinda did as she was told and Megan pulled the skirt off her body. Megan lifted her and made her sit in the tub. After Belinda was in the tub, Megan also got rid of her clothes and sat in the tub.“How is it? Nice, right?” She asked, and Belinda nodded with a warm smile.“Your smile is so pretty.” Megan complimented, and Belinda shyly hid her face.“Thank you.”“Hmm. So, have you had a bath like this before?” She further asked, and Belinda shook her head. The smile on her face faded off gradually and Megan noticed it.‘I think I shouldn’t have asked that.’“Erm. How old are you?” Megan asked, trying to change the subject.“Eighteen.” She softly answered.“Hmmm, nice! I’m twenty and my annoying brother, Damon, is twenty-two. Have you had your first transformation? Or another full moon hasn’t come out since your birthday?”Belinda hid her hands inside the milk bath and lowered her head. Megan swallowed hard and said; “You don’t have to tell me now if you aren’t ready, okay?”Belinda nodded and kept her head lowered in sadness.~In the throne’s room~ “Ayman, please call on Damon. Alpha Lichen wants to see him.” Talos said to Ayman. Ayman bowed his head and walked out of the throne’s room. “Do you think he would pick one of our daughters?” Alpha Lichen asked, and Talos smiled. “I can’t say, Alpha Lichen, it is left for him to decide. But you don’t have to worry, let’s hear from him first. He has to get a wife sooner or later.” Alpha Lichen smiled and bobbed his head. Ayman hurried to Damon’s chamber and knocked on his door. “My Prince, My King needs your attention in the throne room.” Damon, who was sharpening his arrow in his room, took a pause after he heard Ayman speak. “Why?” He asked without making an attempt to move. “Alpha Lichen is here, My Prince.” Damon sighed and shook his head in frustration. ‘ Can’t these people just let me be?’“I’ll be there soon. Tell father to give me some minutes.” He answered. “Yes, My Prince.” Ayman bowed and walked away. Damon stood up and walked to the front of
~After A Week~ Maeve laid on her bed, her back facing the ceiling as her maids helped her massage her back. She smiled and shut her eyes as her maids worked wonders on her body. Soon, there was a knock on her door. “Rat-tat-tat.” “Arghhh. Who wants to ruin this perfect moment for me? I hope it isn’t about that girl, I’m so tired of hearing her name. It’s annoying.” “Should I get the door, Luna?” One of her maids asked. “Who is it anyway? If it isn’t Cephas, then the person can go back. I don’t want to be disturbed.” “Is that how much you hate your own sister, Maeve?” A lady answered from outside the door. Maeve’s eyes widened and she sprang up. “Maisie, is that you?!” “The one and only.” Maisie answered. “Oh my… Someone should grab the door already!” Maeve uttered out of excitement. She grabbed her robe and wrapped it around her body, awaiting the entry of her sister. “Sister!” Maisie called, and Maeve stood up. “Hey baby!” She called as they ran to each other. Maisie jump
“Damon, what part of being nice to her don’t you understand? She just got out of the sick bed, how do you expect her to carry this sword?” Megan shook her head in disgust at her brother’s rude attitude and took the sword from Belinda . Belinda ’s eyes widened in shock as she saw Megan lift the sword without falling to the ground. “How… how did you…” She stammered in awe. “Why do you look so surprised? I have been training since I was five, Belinda . I’m used to the weight of all the swords here. But you? I bet you have ever lifted one.”Megan gave Belinda her hand and helped her stand to her feet. “I’ll get you the small sword. Ignore Damon, he’s super annoying.” She whispered in Belinda ’s ear. Belinda nodded and kept her head bowed. She waited for Megan to return with the smaller sword. Damon moved closer to her and said; “Why do you even need to train? Do you want to be engaged in any fights in the future?” He asked, and she raised her head and looked at his face. She
~After two days~ The day of the mate event finally came. The event where King Talos and the hoped Damon was going to finally find his wife. Talos went to Marlena, his wife’s chamber, to take her with him to the throne room. “Are you ready, my Queen?” He asked, and Marlena smiled and nodded. They were both excited that they weren’t fighting anymore. “Fighting with you is pretty exhausting, you know that right?” Queen Marlena asked, and Talos laughed softly. “I’m sorry, okay? I promise to always have time for you and eat your food whenever you want me to. Today is a good day, so let’s not fight.” “Hmm. About that…” she opened her arms and embraced Talos. “Do you think Damon will find his mate in today’s event?” She asked, and Talos sighed. “I have no idea, Marlena. You know how our son can be. He’s so picky and shows no emotion. Who knows, maybe his mate had come and he didn’t even realize because he didn’t give her a chance to commune with him.” “Hmm. That’s true.” Marlena ans
Belinda took long strides, hitting the air with her sword. Her head was full of thoughts. ‘So the King is desperate to find a wife for Prince Damon? What if he finally finds the one he wants? Would he still have time to train me?…’ “You are zoning out. You lose focus, you die.” Damon’s thick yet cold voice snapped Belinda out of her thoughts. She hastily composed herself and bowed. “Prince Damon.” She called, gulping hard. “Why are you not on the field with targets?” He asked, and walked closer to her. “Ermmm. Some other trainees are using the targets, my Prince. So I decided to stay here.” She answered, still not raising her head. Damon sighed and looked out of the window. Truly, there were other people training there. Belinda looked up and watched him stare out of the window while he still stood in front of her. “Let’s train here then. Use me as your target.” He answered. He pulled his jacket off him, leaving him in his white shirt. He walked to the scabbard and picked up h
Damon and Belinda left the palace when the sun was setting. They headed out of their boundaries into the woods to fetch for their prey. Damon took the lead and Belinda followed quietly behind him. As they headed into the woods, Belinda wanted to start a conversation with Damon badly, but he didn’t seem like he wanted to talk to her. So, she kept her distance and her mouth shut. All she did was steal glances of him as they walked. How hot he looked from behind. ‘No wonder the maidens from other kingdoms are head over heels for him. Who wouldn’t?’ She thought. ‘So are you head over heels for him too?’ Her inner self asked her, and she scoffed loudly. Damon took an abrupt stop and looked back at her. “What?” He asked coldly, and she hurriedly shook her head and bowed. “Nothing, my Prince. I’m sorry.” “I hate distractions when I’m out hunting. Keep your thoughts or words to yourself. You make me lose my target, you are dead.” He added, and didn’t let her respond before he kept w
Damon got into his chamber, and so did Belinda. Damon sat on the sofa that was not so far from his bed. Belinda stood at the door and stared at him as he sat. He raised his head as soon as he was settled, and she hurriedly bowed. “Are you just going to stand there and watch me bleed to death?” He asked in a hoarse manner. Belinda hastily shook her head and ran to him. She fell before him and opened the first aid kit that was with her. She tore a moderate quantity of cotton wool and soaked it with alcohol. She looked at Damon and saw he was beginning to look sick. He rested his back and threw his head backward. She slowly reached his left arm and when she touched it, it was pretty cold. Immediately her warm hand came in contact with his, he lowered his head and looked at her. Belinda swallowed hard and showed him the wool. “I’ll be cleaning it now.” “Just get it done, will you?” Damon answered within gritted teeth. Belinda knelt upright and touched his cut with the wool. “
Yolanda’s tongue licked Megan's juicy most sacred place perfectly well, making Megan smile and moan softly. “Yolanda.” She moaned, making Yolanda want to do more. She loved the way Megan called her name in desire. As they continued pleasuring themselves, Megan’s guard suddenly spoke up. “Princess Megan, Belinda is here to see you. Can I open up for her?” He asked, and immediately, Megan sprang up, making Yolanda stop. “What? Can’t you tell her to come back? I’m with you and we are having fun.” Yolanda uttered.“I know, Yolanda, but the guards are aware that you came in here and we are alone. If we tell Belinda not to come in, won’t that raise more suspicions? We can’t get caught, remember?” “Oh please, Megan. You are just saying this so that we won’t have to chase off that girl.” Yolanda angrily stood up and picked up her dress. “Yolanda, come on…” “I have had enough, Megan. Ever since this girl showed up, you’ve never wanted me the way you have always done. Are you in love w
