Kai’s POVMy hand remained tightly latched around her neck as I dragged her away from the hall, I could hear confused whispers among the men but none of the dared to speak up against me because they knew I’d have their heads on pikes in seconds for daring to question my decision.As soon as I walked out of the hall, I could hear Levi trying to diffuse the situation and dismiss them but I was more focused on how furious Cora had managed to make me once again, and in front of all those men like she’d done a couple of times.“You don’t know when to keep your fucking mouth shut, do you!?” I asked her angrily knowing that with how tightly I was grabbing unto her neck she couldn't respond.“You just do as you please and assume that you can take the consequences, don’t you?” I kicked the door of my room open and pushed her into it violently before I shut the door behind me.She’d landed on her ass painfully but she put on her usual tough act by refusing to make a single sound that would sugg
Kai’s POVI was thinking about Cora again.At this point, it’d become a fucking plague—No, another curse that I was doomed to bear when I was still actively struggling with another. I’d tried to shove it deep down within me, down in the darkest parts of my being that strangely held an appeal for her, one that I’d deny until my grave, one that I’d never let her be right about even it it kills me.Hell, it's killing me already.The wildest part was that the one thing that was in a loop in my head was how she’d handled me when she took control, how she’d given me the sort of a pleasure that a man couldn't forget no matter how hard he tried, how I’d been the helpless party in out dynamic for the first time because of how experts she’d handled my cock.I wanted to end that loop of thoughts and take back the control from her, I’d never been the submissive party and I’d rather roam like an animal and live on grass than let Cora assume that she could take the reigns like she had without being
Cora’s POVAh, I felt like a warrior with renewed motivation as I stretched awake the next morning.By the time I’d returned to the maids’ quarters with my excuse of a dress, smudged lipstick and ruffled ponytail everyone was fast asleep and yet I’d still woken up before them. I think it was what I’d just discovered the evening before rush energized me.Normally, I’d be running off to bath and violently scrub off all the impurities from being touched by Kai and those degenerate Alphas, but this time around I felt like Kai was the one on the losing end and I’d gotten relevant information from the feast to give me a steady advantage over him that’d help me exert my revenge once and for all.The fact that I’d realized that Kai’s possessiveness was both his strength and his weakness made my heart flutter with glee. That was the one edge I now had over Kai; knowing that I was more than a common whore to him and more like a woman whose sexual prowess he’d gotten attached to without even rea
Cora’s POVI knew that look on her face all too well.It stemmed from having your insides stretched pleasurably by Kai’s length, feeling him hit the right spots on your walls even though he was only doing it for his pleasure, hearing his growls boost your ego and he goes in and out of you.One thing I knew for sure was that those growls were usually more strained and louder whenever I was on the receiving end of those rough strokes, but who’s taking notes?“You, definitely you” My wolf whispered menacingly and I quickly tried to detach from my dark side that was propelling the odd thoughts in my mind.Unluckily, there was no off switch for my dark side as long as Kai was orchestrating something sexual that appealed to it, so now my eyes were glued to the movement of Kai’s fingers as he roughly pumped in and out of the other maid that’d arched her back to give him more access.She was holding onto the table tightly and her ass clapped with every push and pull of his fingers while her e
Cora’s POVAs the crate of fresh vegetables made contact with the store’s floors, I groaned in annoyance and pushed my palms against my back in a bid to sooth my sore muscles. The head mate on had marched most of the maids out of the quarters to pack fresh produce that were brought to restock the main storeroom.Outside the palace was filled with several carriages that’d brought in the food and we’d been offloading it for almost an hour already and I’d had enough of it already.“Should we just make a run for it now? I doubt the head matron would notice our absence with how many maids she has at her disposal” I whispered in Nina’s ears as she dropped a case of oil.“I’m not risking my lunch and dinner by disobeying her, you can go ahead” She told me tiredly and I rolled my eyes at her.“Chicken” I put both my hands in my armpit to form wings and waved them as I imitated the clucking sound chickens made to annoy Nina.“Cluck.all you want, I became immune to that bullshit when I clicked
Kai’s POVMy back was pressed against my throne as Levi read out the order of the day and explained the crust of why I’d gathered the elders for a meeting.The guilty parties looked taken aback that I’d found out about their indiscretions, but what they didn't know was that Leila— the only member of the royal court that was frowned upon when she attended meetings because she was a woman— was the best mole I had and nothing devious ever passed under her nose without her catching whiff of it and reporting back to me.As soon as Levi was done, he looked over at me and bowed to signal that I could the floor before stepping back to his seat.“When I chose elders for my royal court, little did I know that some fools had wiggled their way into the selection of supposedly wise men” I rose from my throne and walked down the three steps briskly as I addressed them.“It’s been brought to my attention that a couple of you whom I placed in charge of some lands that were spoils of war have taken it
Kai’s POVI awoke from an evening name that I’d made Leila induce me into after I returned from saving Cora and I felt more refreshed than ever, my head felt like it’d found its factory reset buttons and all I had to do wash push them so that things would return to normal.And, that I planned to do, I just needed an external push of my own as well.The crust of the matter was that, as I’d woken up and stretched a few minutes ago, I realized that the only reason Cora is becoming increasingly interesting to me as well as managing to occupy my thoughts from time to time is because she was the only plaything at my disposal at the moment.Most of the times, I was usually rotating about five whores that I:’d bagged as spoils of war and handing them off to Leila to get rid of as soon as I’d gotten bored of them, —something that happened rather quickly— but this time around, it had been months but I hadn't gotten bored of Cora’s tantrums and disobedience enough to get rid of her.I strongly b
Cora’s POVI was impatiently waiting for Nina to return from the bathroom while I flipped the pages of a book I’d reread an unhealthy number of times. As I mouthed the words on a page in a bored tone, I heard someone enter the room but I didn't look up until he was standing right in front of me.When I rose my face to stare at him, I realized that he had the softest and kindest eyes I’d seen on a man since I arrived at Kai’s Palace, his eyes weren't heavily laden with lust as he looked at the card in his hand and looked back at me with slight lines forming on his forehead in confusion, even his handsomeness was subtle and innocent.It was refreshing to see, just to not feel threatened in the presence of a huge male, especially after the how the guards who’d dragged me into the woods had treated me.“Are you Mistress Cora?” He squinted as he read the envelope in his hands, even his voice was soft and kind.“Yeah, that's me” I grabbed the envelope from him and surprised myself by thanki
