Author PovIt was the middle of the night, Fleur was already fast asleep in her cage as per Gabriel's orders. The whole castle was silent as everyone wanted to take a good sleep so they could either work or practice tomorrow early morning yet there was someone who couldn't get himself to fall asleep.Yes, the rogue king himself. Gabriel stood on the balcony of his chambers and stared at the dark view of the river in front of him. But his eyes weren't on the water they were stuck on the soft material enveloped in his hand.A ribbon. The light red colored ribbon that he has no idea why he keeps with himself all the time. But the scent of this ribbon calms his nerves. Now to think of it who this ribbon belongs to? The only person that can make him keep this ribbon with himself for so long. Fleur.Gabriel found this ribbon laying on the floor that particular night when for the first time he lost control. The night he touched her, the night he let his heart and mind win over his senses. Th
Author PovGabriel was the first one who stirred in his sleep slowly waking up. He felt something soft being attached to his hard body. Opening his grey eyes the first thing his eyes met were the poles of the cage before he trailed his eyes down to the source of the warmth.His eyes flickered in surprise watching her small body being completely engulfed in his bulky arms. He pulled his head back a little so he could see her face that was buried in his neck. A small smile appeared on his lips without him realizing it.Last night was the most comfortable and benign night of his life. He never had this much peaceful sleep before. He was used to waking up from time to time in the mid of the night but last night. He didn't for once woke up. He never thought hugging someone to sleep can be this comfortable. He loved being like this. He loved cuddling her like this. And to think of it he wants to feel this warmth every night. He wants to cuddle her every night.Pulling his arm away from her
Author Pov"So are you happy now?" Gabriel's deep voice collided with her ears as she reached the place he was sitting on. She held her head up to see at him whose eyes were stuck on the sword in his hand."Happy?" She whispered but his sharp ears heard her clearly."Yeah, happy. I mean you wanted to see your brother right? I fulfilled your wish." She gulped dropping her eyes down and staring at the water that was lightly touching her feet.The area was near the waterfall that's why the water was swirling on the barren field as well. He was sitting on the wide and large rock which was slightly above the surface. But as he was already a giant she had to crane her neck to look up at him."Thank you." She paused taking a second."Master." Gabriel finally removed his scary eyes from the sword fixing them on her after hearing her.Staring at her for a few minutes in silence he tugged the sword back into the leather cover that was hanging over his back. He held his hand forward making her l
Author PovFleur hugged her knees remembering what happened a few hours ago. The way his eyes screamed craziness, the way he held her near him once again made her shudder in fear. She gulped placing her chin over her knees and staring at the mattress under her.After his terrifying confession, they came back from the hunt and Carol escorted her back into the chambers making her run to her caged room. She never thought her life can take this kind of turn.A hybrid werewolf. The rogue king is insanely obsessed with her. Where did she go wrong to bring her to this level? What she ever did to him to make him treat her like a doll? At first, he did everything to insult her, and torture her but now he's doing everything to pull her to him.Wasn't he the one who called her disgusting? Wasn't he the one who said touching her is beneath him? Then what's changed now? She needs to talk to him, at least once, and make him understand that there is no future for them.She doesn't want to be his que
Author Pov"I want you to call king in the backyard," Sicilia said to Carol who frowned at her in confusion."But why? I can't just call him here and there if it's not important. I still love my life." Saying that he was about to turn around to leave the place but Sicilia stopped him."It is about that human. I have doubts about her. She has been in the backyard since the morning. Don't you think something about her is wrong? Maybe she's not as innocent as she showed herself." Carol frowned when she mentioned the human slave.Even Carol doesn't like Fleur not because she's some weak filth in his eyes but because she has nothing to give the king yet she was still alive and the king seems to be highly protective over her. No matter how much of a ruthless man Gabriel is, Carol still respects him and wants the best for his king.He was there when Gabriel held the title of king. He was behind Gabriel in every step watching him build this Kingdom after losing his father at a young age. Gabr
Author Pov Entering the chambers she gulped looking around the room. Carol was the one who sent her back as only he knew the spell to unlock the door of the chamber. She thought Carol might come to bring her to give her the punishment decided by Gabriel but, instead, the man only informed her that the king wants her to go back to her room. She looked around the vast room trying to find Gabriel but he was nowhere to be seen. It was so weird. She was sure that he will behave like an animal with her after catching her in that position with that man. But instead, he seemed way too calm and it scared her even more. She walked towards the door that reaches her caged room but instead her eyes caught something familiar laying on the sofa. Narrowing her eyes she walked near the massive sofa and grabbed the soft material which was extremely familiar to her. "This." She whispered looking at the red ribbon in her hand. It was hers. Fleur liked wearing ribbons instead of hair bands that's why s
Author Pov"King I am sorry but don't you think you're trusting her blindly?" Gabriel looked up at Carol who had his eyes down in respect. Gabriel indeed glared at him for questioning him but then he also knew Carol wasn't wrong.He indeed was trusting Fleur blindly. He had no idea why he even trusted her without doing his investigation. He had no idea why seeing her teary eyes and helpless frame he melted away so easily.Blinking his eyes a few times he turned his intense gaze towards the glass wall that showed his reflection. His half-face covered with a mask brought some fresh memories in his mind as he broke the view instantly."What do you think?" Carol gulped hearing Gabriel's question."I think we shouldn't doubt Neil. You know Neil is one of our trusted men. You made him witch general for a reason. We can't just punish him for a mere human slave on a baseless accusation. Our people wouldn't let it slide." Even though Gabriel wanted to skin Carol alive for calling Fleur just a
Author PovFleur stared at the ribbon in her hand that Gabriel returned to her. Pulling her hair to one side she tied them in a messy braid using the ribbon. Her eyes stared at the chamber blankly remembering all the new commands he gave her last night.The room where she was once caged was now locked by him. He told her that from now she will sleep with him in this room. On his bed, even though he didn't do anything except cuddle her to his heart's content but still it wasn't settling well with her.She was still making his food and doing his chores like a slave. For the outside world, she was indeed his slave but inside his chambers, he treats her like his queen. But she still can't get herself to accept him. She still couldn't have the heart to accept him being an animal.She's a human. She can't survive in his world. Her head snapped to the door as he entered the chambers. She instantly stood up from the chair facing his giant frame who sighed removing his king's mantel along with
