Areli took all the hours of the day and spent them on me. It was when we were setting up the room that I realized how pissed off and how beta Brum had really betrayed me. Areli being there helped. The dark thoughts filled my head but they were pushed back with Areli having me engaged in conversation all through out. If she had not been there, I would have gone further down the rabbit hole. As hard as it was, I held up the conversation and tried to think very little of what had been done to me by my so-called mate. The new bed was set up, putting on the new sheets and it looked amazing. The new tub chairs were stunning, putting the decor around and we laid out the new carpet. Of course we couldn’t do it all in one day but the whole room already looked stunning. Areli called a few men who took out the old furniture and the dread fell as she finally bid me goodbye. Dinner would be held in the dining room which I had no clue how I would find it but I would. It seemed I had no choice in at
A plain black, ankle-length slip dress was pasted on my body, every curve, every dip so smooth like my skin. My body moved side to side with each step, head held so high with eyes sharp yet I could not see. I blinked and found myself before the doors where the clutter was coming from. I had no idea when I took all the steps down, just blinking and I was staring at the large doors. I could not just stand there. My palms kissed the doors, taking a second before pushing them wide open. I don’t think I had a heart anymore, feeling so numb, feeling so dead. The click of my heels echoed, hearing the clutter and chatter stop with me walking as if I owned the place. I was in my own stage, stealing the show. My hands were in fists, them seeming to hold in all the feelings I was supposed to feel. Shadows were all I could see yet my brain having took in where the king and queen were. I walked until I was near the edge of the table, my head bending down with my body soon bending over. It was a
I could feel myself twist and turn all through the night. I could feel the sweat collect on my skin as disgusting as it felt. I heard myself whimper and groan. I could mentally see myself fold into a ball to unfold over and over again. At some point the whole room was spinning and I felt as if I would vomit. I was stuck in this state where I was aware of what was happening but still unconscious. It never ended, just going over and over until I thought I was stuck in a loop that would never break. My body turned during the night, feeling another body brush against my skin with my heart drumming harder. I truly thought I was dying, wanting to ask for help but no help came. I just drifted away into the darkness until my eyes painfully peeled opened. My chest pushed up and down, sweat trickling down with me heaving hard. I was too weak to even shoot up, my hand running to my chest because I felt as if my heart would arrest. My eyes were wide open. I was not even in the right head space t
The door swung wide open, my head pushing up to find two pairs of eyes just staring at me, so wide I thought they would pop. One was packed with anger, the other just shocked. “What?” The word spilled from me. I had just walked in, surely I had not pissed them yet. I knew I would eventually but I had just got there. Something bumped onto my chest, my eyes running down to frown. A chubby cute ball of black fur with pure white eyes stared back at me and it was the cutest thing ever. My chest tightened. I had a thing for babies and that was the cutest small creature I had ever seen. My hands were wide open, it settling and bouncing on them. My heart was stolen. The fur cutie was so soft, just heaven, a bundle of joy which left me feeling a turd better. “There is something called knocking.” The king said out as my head tipped up to him. He was pissed to say the least, seated behind a large desk, papers before him. He was not friendly at all, my kind of people. “And what would that be?”
I had not even woken up and my head was already pounding way too much. The screams in the room weren’t helping at all. My eyes fluttered open, the light like the devil’s pitchfork thrown into my eyes.A groan pulled from me, my body turning around to pull the blankets higher but who was I kidding, the catfight in the room seemed to escalate. Couldn’t they have done it outside or in the woods?My body turned back around, rubbing my eyes because my curiosity also peaked. The king was so mad I could just see the saliva spit as he screamed with such anger. I was happy I was not at the receiving end of it, my head turning with Brum standing there red with fury.I had to see this, sitting up to rub my eyes again.“We did not force you to mate her, you came up with the decision on your own now grow up, take care of your responsibilities or me and you will have a real problem Brum!” It was like watching a younger sibling getting scolded so hard. I bit my lower lip not to laugh, just eating th
The sun had reached its highest peak in the sky, casting long shadows and unforgiving to those subject to it's heat. I was blissful though, no one was trying to kill me and I had eaten to my heart's content. I rotated my shoulders to flex that muscles that had gone stiff, whilst I finally got to thinking about the good that came with mating Brum. I sashayed across the corridor, my legs eating the distance between my final destination and I until on a scant few meters were left when I stumbled upon the cleaning crew. “A good morning to you, ladies.” I greeted. “Good morning, your highness. Her majesty said you needed help cleaning your office.” The head cleaning lady said. I grinned thankfully. Areli was a darling to be kissed. “Yes, thank you.” I said, walking into the office. “The beta seems to have abandoned the office, he prefers the wild now.” I chirped as we walked into the office. It was dusty, as was expected of a place long abandoned, save for the shoe prints that lead to a
Brum’s hand did not fall away even when we were away from all the eyes. The king was impressed, I could see it in his gleaming eyes.As soon as we'd entered the sanctuary of our room, Brum's hand fell away from my waist. The food had been delicious, and this time I had listened to the conversation which had mostly revolved around the upcoming party. They all seemed more excited about it than us. A party was great but I could do without it. I had so many projects to take up and the work that had been piling up on Brum's desk. He had the luxury to take two-year vacations, the lucky bastard.I bent over, slid off my shoes and placed them by the rack in the closet. My eyes fell on the lump of clothes by the corner.“You should hang your cloths!” I shouted, a little annoyed. He didn't deign to answer. I popped my head out from the closet door to find him right at the window, about to hop out. I was laughing before I could even stop myself. He was ridiculous.“You better not be going to ano
Brum's influence on me was not what could be considered good. Instead of walking through the front door like any sane person, I began scaling up the side of the wall to get to our room. It was difficult and that excited me even more because I was never one to say no to a challenge. The windows were far apart from each other, the wall nearly smooth and I leaped over with no fear at all. I was bleeding and sweating by the time I got to our room yet the grin on my face was a sign of deep satisfaction. I jumped through the window with a grunt. Before I could get up from my crouch, I heard the very faint creaking of wood. My head snapped up as I heard the main door close. Our eyes locked to each other, heavy with question. Brum was wearing the same clothes he left with a few hours ago but he was more presentable compared to me. He'd taken the front door instead of climbing up a whole castle. Despite his dickishness, at least my man was packing heat. I still couldn’t get over how good loo
