Adaline
A sharp and ripping noise that resembled that of fabric was heard, it was infact the sound of my pink ball gown being ripped to shreds. The manic giggles that followed made my heart sink to the depths of my stomach.This could not be any more humiliating, the front of my underwear was peaking, on display to two thousand guest who did nothing but watch.I tried to hold back my tears as a miserable smile spread across my lips."I knew you'd be happy." Nyla says trying to hold back her ugly cackle. "See guys she's even smiling, is that tears of joy I see?" She uses her thumb to wipe off my tear and flicks her hand to quickly dry her hand. "Next time you will think twice about upstaging Melanie at her debutante." She quickly reverts to her scowl, the expression I was familiar with. "You're a slave not a princess, even if you think Royalty runs through your blood, you still have your mother's filthy blood, know your place damn swine." I bowed and apologize as more tears pour out. I didn't waste time in the ball room, I ran so fast but it didn't stop the guest from whispering and mocking me.Nyla has always been like this, she has nothing but disgust for me ever since my father cheated on the empress with my mother. The moment I was born my mother was beheaded for having a hand in black magic, but anyone who had a brain could tell the Empress was Intimidated by my mother.The claims could be true since after my mother's death the empress tried to dispose of me.I was stabbed 53 times as an infant,I was tossed in a pit of flamesI was left in the deadly forest of PeralezMy wolf was sealed to increase my chances of dying,I was even drowned, twice, but every single time I escaped from the claws of death. I was eventually nicknamed the corpse baby. Since the Empress could not easily rid of me she decided to make my life a living hell and that is why I'm a lowly slave girl to a bratty princess.The dress I wore was a gift from Viscount Maverick, I got all dolled up just for it to be ripped all to shreds.I gasped for air, holding the hems of the ruined dress as I run down the halls of the palace, I came across a figure who just happened to to spread his long legs as he laid his sword on his thigh to clean it consecutively.I slowed down my pace and began strutting over to him hoping to pass through the space his legs didn't encompass. "Did you get caught by Viscount Maverick's wife?" His brows furrowed at the sight of my ripped dress. "I was expecting your hair to be chopped or worse case scenario you'd be burned alive. Is she behind your tail?" He looks around and begins to raise his voice. "She's here, she's making a run for..." I kicked him to the gut to get him to shut up."Whore." He coughs, holding his tummy."Freak." I retorted."That's rich coming from the corpse baby." He replied and I was done. I just paid no attention and slowly walked past him, I was already exhausted I couldn't start picking up my pace again. Unbeknownst to me he was pacing behind me like a moth to a flame, I didn't mind until the sound of his boots clicking drove me crazy. "Do you mind?" I turned to him, he had his hand up as a way of telling me he didn't mean any harm. A coy smile work it's way to his lips."Well who's going to stop you if you try to throw yourself off this building?""Piss off." I hissed as I heard a mummured bounce back and forth across the hallway. If wasn't that evident if it was a mummur since Cole resumed nagging. "Like do you know how many times you've committed suicide this month? You should really change your name to suicidal princess.""Shut up." I whispered as he frowned at me cutting me off. "That's rude." He hissed."Shut the fuck up." I pinched my thumb and index finger, slowly running it across my lips to pass my message.I took a hold of the hem of my dress and began creeping to the exact door the mummurs were coming from, Cole as well got a bit of common sense and followed in the same manner but that didn't stop his boot from making a hell of noise."Take them off." I whispered again as he look confused. "Take them the fuck off, take off your boots Cole." At this point I was just tossing my hand in the air, which makes sense why he couldn't understand. "Someone's out there." The voice from inside warned as I raised my voice. "If you love me then show me." I said to Cole who looked confused at the situation, I rolled my eyes at him and tugged on to his collars as I pulled him into a kiss, he didn't take my lips right there, hd breathe hard against my face till his hands are on my waist and he's pulling my weight against his, he even slide his tongue in as we hold each other's lips in a pretense of passionate flames.I didn't know Cole was a very good kisser, and an actor as well, he kisses me like he wants me."It's just the corpse baby and that disappointment of a knight." I chuckled in between the kiss as Cole pulls me in tighter and kisses me harder, running his fingers through my hair.Okay Mr show off, they get it we're committing fornication, you don't have to suck on my lips that hard.Soon enough they began talking again and I abruptly push Cole away from me to eaves drop. "Maybe we shouldn't be here." Cole suggested, immediately the kiss ended. "You can go. I heard something related to Nyla." I paused to notice the red blush that spread across his cheeks. Sometimes I forget he's a virgin, it's not my fault if he's a pain in the ass."Alpha Grant request Princess Nyla as a bride, we have to honor his wishes so that peace will reign between the two empires, we can't risk another war." My ears stood on the mention of Alpha Grant, the ruthless Alpha King of the Hazem Empire. It's a known fact that any woman who shares a bed with him will die. That meant Nyla would finally be off my tail but wait, another war? The last one ended five years ago, why would another war commence in such a short period."The Empress won't allow it, you know that she will elope with her daughter to her mother land and watch us all die." I recognize that voice anywhere, it's the head maid and Nyla's Nanny, why is she sharing such a tedious conversation. Cole was right I shouldn't be here, before I could plan my exit, I heard my name being mentioned."Adaline is of royal blood is she not? and she is blessed with what the Alpha needs, a woman that cannot die." I stepped back in terror, if all this takes effect, I'll have Nyla's fate.Cole could tell I was fragile at the moment but didn't know how to comfort me, I wouldn't blame him, this situation was new to him. Soon enough I backed away from door completely and started plotting my next plan."What are you going to do ?" Cole asks, Alpha Grant kills the women before he has a chance to sleep with them. He got tired of the false hope of producing a heir and didn't even bother himself with the mating rituals.There wasn't any way out of this, the only option was to elope as much as that sounds promising I'll die of poverty and malnutrition."Follow me." I took his hand, he didn't hesitate to grab mine as he waltz behind me. After a while of silence we both stood in front of a room.I opened the door with a key I keep with me at all times and drag Cole in with me. I purposely left the key out as I shut the door behind us.I immediately begin to strip in front of Cole as he watch me with red in his face."Who's room is this?" He inquired noticing the expensive taste of the room. "It's Nyla's room" I answer as his eyes widened in shock, his face was null as he tries to process what I just said."Are you crazy?" He yelled at I proceeded to take off more of my clothes till I was buck naked in his front, my soft smile confused him."Have sex with me." I uttered making my way towards him, I made contact with his erection as he hovers his palm over his hard member.Adaline"Have you lost your mind?" Cole remained baffled by my proposition. "If I'm destined for a lifetime of torment, I should at least indulge in the experience of losing my virginity this instant, don't you think?" My gaze shifted to his hard member. "Besides, do you not find me attractive?" I suggested coyly, swaying my hips with a hint of seduction.He swallowed nervously, finding it difficult to avert his gaze. That gave me the idea to make my first move. I strutted towards him and went on my knees, cupping his arousal in my palm.I tugged on his belt, giving him a chance to object. After thirty seconds of consecutive silence, I unbuckled his belt and swiftly took out his erection in my hand. I squeezed it firmly, sensing no hint of softness; he was undeniably aroused.I flicked my tongue against the ridge of his foreskin. His lips trembled, and a soft moan escaped as I teased my tongue around the tip of his member. I could feel the vibrations coming from his legs as he attempte
AdalineThe Peralez Forest, once notorious as the Forest of Demons, held no novelty for me. The four-day exile my father imposed felt more like a gentle reprimand; he initially hesitated to punish me. Despite his apparent satisfaction with my involvement with Cole, the Empress and Nyla were less than pleased. As a consequence, my flowing locks were sheared into a pixie cut, and I found myself here, in the heart of the Peralez Forest, tasked with reflecting on my actions.The first time I was sent here was when the Empress was desperate for my disposal. Anyone sent to the forest of Peralez didn't last a day in here, they were hunted and scorged by the demons, only a skilled wolf can counter a demon. Well, till they get worn out by endless battles and ends up either retreating or dying in the battle.I have never encountered a demon from my days sent to the forest, the palace warriors always looked shocked in awe when I come out unscath, it was as if i was a demon repellant.Familiar wit
GRANTWomen are all the same, they pretend to look innocent but they are far deadly from their pretentious phase.This thought irks me as the maiden who purposely dropped her napkin, struggles to hold eye contact with me, signifying her true intentions. In the past this would have moved me but ever since I was cursed by that damn witch, gestures like this annoy me."My king, shall I burn the napkin?" Theodore, my knight and my attendant asked, noticing the scenario. "No, I'll handle this myself." I hissed prancing my way towards her, her expression was bountiful and it felt satisfying that i was about to wipe that cocky grin off her lips.Seated alone in the heart of the restaurant, she exuded an air of solitude. I chose the chair opposite hers, and that's when she commenced her artful game of charming the devil."Oh, kind sir. Is that my napkin? Have you come to return it?" she chuckled in pretense."Is your fiance aware that you're a harlot?" I inquired, and her gleeful gaze swiftly
AdalineI couldn't tell if I was sick to my stomach because of how my plan failed woefully or probably because the maids are out to get me and definitely plan my demise. I was immediately pulled out of exile just to be fitted for a dress, I would much rather fight a demon than go through this process though."Can't I wear a dress without a corset?" I asked but I was immediately ignored.The doors immediately opened and all the maids stopped what they were doing as the Empress walked in with Cortia the head maid.Her lips curved into a lowly smirk, more like a mocking one. "She looks exactly like her mother, the night she was beheaded." The Empress mocked as I just did nothing but watch her. I could slap her in the face, but I would be tried for treason and since I cannot die, goddess knows what sort of torture she has in store for me.Ever since my father put an end to her torture fanatic two years ago, I've been threading dangerously in her grasps and would do anything to make sure I
NylaAs the doors to the ballroom open, I walk in with Melanie and Penelope at my side.All eyes are glued to my dark purple, strapless ball gown. The dress has a sweetheart neckline and a fitted bodice with a slight V-cut. The skirt of the dress is full, embroidered with floral patterns only at the top. It's made of layers of tulle or netting, trailing behind me in a long train.My lavender hair complements the dress beautifully, and the tiara simply ties the whole look together. I strut in proudly as people begin murmuring amongst themselves"Once again, the princess never comes second to the best dressed," I hear murmurs from a group of girls my age. "If I were the daughter of the emperor, I would do the same." Indistinct chatter bounces back and forth as I walk up alone to my parents and bow, paying my respects."Mother, Father," My eyes meet theirs as they nod in satisfaction, mostly my mother. She ensured she had the best seamstress in the kingdom make my dress. So, obviously, it
AdalineI was compelled. That was the only explanation for why I had revealed Nyla's name. My mouth just moved without me wanting it to and I could hear one particular voice compel me, the voice of Alpha Grant.I dare not look at the Empress after that confession, infact screw this, I need to flee the kingdom.The entire room mummur at my confession, I doubt they would even believe me but here I am with no one by my side. "Adaline, are you sure of what you are saying?" The empress inquired, like she didn't have a part in this. I only nodded as the Empress turns to Nyla."Nyla is this true?" The empress could even sound a bit baffled, she just seemed disappointed, disappointed that her daughter was caught."No, Mother. Adaline must be confused. I didn't drug her, nor did I send men her way," Nyla asserts, casting doubt on the accusations. As tension fills the room, no one knows whom to believe."Are you certain, Princess?" Alpha Grant probes, his tone sly. "I am certain. I would never
NylaTension was building with each passing moment. It wasn't a hard miss. Alpha Grant gave me a long hard look before he considered the perfect word to say to me."Who is Cole Giles? And why are you telling me this now?" Alpha Grant asked, I tried my best to stop myself from acting out of character. "He's Adaline's mate." I say as Alpha Grant furrowed his brows seeming skeptical, I didn't expect him to believe me right away but all I wanted was his reaction. That wasn't exciting at all."How long has he been Adaline's mate?" He asked, peeking interest. I look down feigning thoughts as I massaged my chin gently. "Oh, it's probably ever since they were caught naked on my bed." Once again, his expression was grim. "And why are you telling me this exactly? Didn't you swear you had nothing to do with it?" He may not give a single reaction, but Alpha Grant could not hide his anger behind his words. Immediately, I go down on my knees and begin sobbing harder. "He blackmailed me into doing
AdalineI and Maverick went to a cafe to discuss our business. We were at the top part of the cafe where only the most prominent nobles would dine as well as our most precious Luna Nyla.Servants normally stood next to their masters why their masters tried every single delicacy. I should know, I've watched Nyla and her group barely touch their food and not let me eat just to spite me, even though I was starving.Viscount Maverick has other plans, he had Theodore sit downstairs and wait, away from our conversation, what he had to discuss was important obviously but to the point he only wanted us alone says alot. We weren't the only one upstairs, a couple who were loving up sat three seats away from us."I apologize for having your knight sit downstairs, he works for Grant and I really can't risk anything, I commend you for not spilling anything to him when you read the letter." I nodded in response, I didn't really know how to feel about that. "Why is Cole being tried?" I ask almost im
