Hearing Serena’s message through the messenger, I felt all my plans crashed down. My idea was to bring her to the manor and eat lunch there after a swim in a nearby lake. It would have been a great experience for the both of us, but then she chose to spend time with my people.
Them over me. Huh.
I gripped the arm-handle of my throne tightly, choosing to displace my anger through it. The messenger waited for my reply, but with my unstable state, I shooed him away without giving him a single word.
Disappointment etched my face, but a part of me knew I was being unreasonable. I was throwing a tantrum. I was like a boy who couldn’t get a lollipop and was acting pathetic.
I understood her side of the story. She was being kind. She was doing her duties like a good queen was supposed to do. But still, fuck. I just couldn’t keep myself from acting childish.
What’s worse, hell
< Serena >Once all the Alphas left, I took a sigh of relief. Honestly, my nerves were all over the place before the meeting. After my nap and thank God, free of the headache, anxiety overtook me. I questioned myself if I would be able to face these men with confidence. If I would stammer... If I would become a laughing stock... I was second guessing myself. But then, I thought of the family’s affected by the fire, their suffering and their pain. I didn’t want to be a queen who chose to do nothing just because of nerves. I wanted to act and give these people a voice.Rhea also helped me overcome my hesitation. She reminded me of my spunk back in Lord Hale’s lair against the ever haughty Sofia. She also mentioned about my boldness in front of the many vampires in that vampire auction. She had great belief in me. She was confident I could finish this meeting with flying colors.And I was happy I was able to do so.
< Serena >“Is bringing me here the reward you were talking about?” I inquired, acting seductive, tracing a finger along my collar bone and brushing a few locks of hair away from my shoulder.“Partly, yes,” the king muttered. His eyes wandered down my exposed breasts and decided to test one nipple with his thumb. I inhaled sharply as tingles shot through my toes at the contact.“And I bet I’ll be receiving the other part tonight?” I stated, smirking towards his way. Purposely, I bent my knee so that the bony part would hit his erection.His hips jerked a little at the contact, then followed by a warning growl."If you behave, yes,” he told me. He transferred to the other nipple and carefully started stimulating it too. A soft moan escaped my lips because of it. Damn, his fingers were god-sent.Reaching for him, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
< Serena >We passed by one hallway and one flight of stairs before we reached the swimming pool of the house. It was connected to the main living area where Aero just pressed a button and a mechanism opened up the whole room to the poolside.Under the safety of his arms, I made a mental note of how sterile and modern the interior was. The inner paint were of two tones: gray and white. Pops of sky blue and lime green were also visible in the form of decorative pieces. The ceiling was high, the furniture complemented each other, and the hardwood floor spanned across the entire square footage of the house.The glass panels of his bedroom continued to the kitchen and living spaces. I figured this house must have been built with that in mind to fully take advantage of the view outside.Once we arrived in the pool area, he placed me down and gave me a devilish smirk. He seemed to be up to something, but I couldn’t
< Serena >“I have a smaller boat too, but Mr. and Mrs. Bradley uses it,” Aero told me while we ate inside a taverna by the sea in the very charming village of Lesvos. Our table was near an arched window overlooking a windy but stunning beach.We had just finished touring the area and me changing into a printed maxidress when our stomachs really demanded to be attended too. I chose the spot where to eat and he chose the food since I wasn’t acquainted with the menu yet. Fluently, he spoke Greek with the waiter and I just listened, amazed by how flexible he was both in Phanteon and on Earth.“I believe they’re still here right now. They only visit my island in the afternoon.”He looked up at me with that mischievous expression of his again.“I lied, you know,” he finally said.My lips curved upward just as my eyes narrowed at him. “Oh yes, I know,” I said, already feeling like t
< Aero >As much as I didn’t want to part with my queen, I had to. Elijah had confirmed my meeting with the guardian of Ehnrelil and I believe he was already waiting for me in the throne room when Serena and I left Greece.Serena told me she wanted to change into her gown and head out to the south wing to check the progress of the fire victims. I let her while I too changed my casual clothes, choosing an ensemble that would fit the occasion: a royal-grade button-up shirt and slacks, and a dark blue embroidered frock coat.As soon as I finished, I marched out of the walk-in closet, but then I was impatient already to meet him, so I decided to teleport there.“Nevannir, I hope you didn’t wait for me that long,” I said the moment I materialized next to my grand seat with my hand touching a fang of my enormous wolf statue. Just as I ordered, there was no one but the two of us inside the thron
< Serena >Alpha Trevor showed me the progress of the construction once I arrived in the market. What was once ashes and charred wood in the area now stood rows of houses and two single-storey buildings to serve as the town’s new market. He said that his pack would be able to finish it in just five days. I trusted him and he was able to deliver. Two days from now and all will be finished and that pleased me.I thanked him and his pack for their hard work, and gave a few advises too to enhance the aesthetic side of the building. They noted this, gladly agreeing to my idea.By late afternoon, William and I left, and during the travel time, I reflected on my meeting with Farryl. I understood her side. If I was her, I’d hate the king with all my heart too for stereotyping and hating women, but on the other hand, as a guardian to his realm, she shouldn’t have been one-sided. Couldn’t she sense that we had cons
< Aero >In what could be deemed as aggressive, I grabbed her head, fisting a good amount of her hair, then I pulled it down and drove my tongue inside her mouth. My other hand squeezed her breast, but it was unpleasantly still confined by her gown so I ripped the cloth with ease. Her breasts spilled free then.Heavily turned on by the feel of the two smooth globes, I disengaged from our kissing and suckled on one taut peak. I drew out a loud and exquisite moan from her and I took this as an invitation to suckle her more.“Aero...” she groaned under her breath, basking on the feel of my mouth sucking her nipple. I felt her hands grow impatient, touching my chest, and feeling for the tensed muscles.“Undress for me, please,” she requested.Pausing, I straightened my spine and just as ordered, took off my clothes from the coat down to my undershirt, followed by my boots and
< Serena >Excited to start with the preparations, I decided to leave Aero’s chamber early in the morning. He was still sleeping heavily and didn’t notice me when I left. In my room, I took a bath and changed. Thereafter, I went to the castle kitchen to meet with the cook. Aside from planning the menu for the party, I also needed breakfast. My stomach was growling and I owe it all to what happened last night—me getting dined instead of me dinning.In high spirits, I then continued to the grand hall. Aero’s Omega, Chris, a charming redhead, was already at the entrance personally supervising the set-up of the tables and chairs.“Your Highness, a pleasant morning,” he greeted, bowing low in deference to me.I smiled and stood near the huge doorway. “Good morning to you too, Chris. So, what’s the plan?” I asked, folding my arms over my chest and staring at the enormous size of the hall.His tall f
