Aurelia's POV His frown was unmistakable. His face was heavy in confusion as he slowly headed my way. Mira, Hunter and Carlos walked away without knowing the trouble that was brewing for me. Andre felt it too because he grimaced and walked behind Liam, thinking of a way to calm him down but every time he raised his hand to touch him, he would drop it back and look around for another way. My feet were glued to the floor. I couldn't move. My wolf whimpered and retreated. The heaviness of the atmosphere was choking and she disappeared, leaving me all alone when I needed her the most. "Aurelia," he called my name in a silent warning that dared me to tell a lie. "What did she mean by that?" The question was like throwing a hard ball at glass. It came so suddenly even when I braced myself for it. My throat ran dry. I doubted there was anything I could say to keep his anger at bay. "I- Your highness- it's not what you think-" "Really?" he stared at me in shock. "I guess I never aske
Aurelia's POVIt hurt to say that aloud to my own hearing but I couldn't deceive myself. Up until now it only roamed my thoughts before I went to bed or when I drifted off in thoughts during the day.I was an unmated wolf and every male that walked past could smell that on me.Hunter was this close to hitting on me. I wasn't repulsive at the thought, it just set me thinking; no matter how much Liam and I had sex, no matter how many times he poured his scent all over me, it was nothing if his mate mark was missing.Like Emma had said, he may grow tired of me soon. What was the need of giving me his forever mark when our time might only be a couple of months or so?"Now that you say it, you're actually right," Emma sighed. "There was no way they could smell the King's mark on you. Your highness, I beg that you overlook this."Now she was begging? I threw my face away and clenched my fist by my side. It was hard to figure Emma out sometimes but one thing was for sure, she lived for the K
Liam's POVHas her eyes ever been so cold?I had never noticed it. Whenever she looked at me, it was with affection, admiration, shyness, in sheer pleasure and ecstasy- I shook my head as I tried to focus on the matter at hand.Those eyes had stared at me so daringly. Did she want me to punish her? That maid had mentioned that if she decided to write those letters, her wrist would hurt.Surely, Aurelia didn’t expect me to order her to do it just to appease my anger? Sometimes I wondered just what exactly that woman thought of me. I thought about it all night and I was yet to come up with an answer."Who was that woman, your highness? We've been looking forward to this meeting all night!" Elder Thelma's voice jolted my out of my thoughts."I have so many questions. My goodness! I can't get that sight out of my head!" one of the elders retorted."You should've seen the way I was blushing like a teenager. I suddenly felt so young again." Elder Thelma agreed, nodding her head earnestly.
Aurelia's POVEmma poked her head through my door, smiling at me, "Knock knock.""I- Come in," I said. Not like she needed to hear that anyways, she was already walking in like she owned the place. I smiled through the discomfort. I wasn’t expecting her to show up suddenly especially after what happened with Liam last night."Bored all by yourself?" she asked as she invited herself into my space and began to glance around as if searching for-“I’m alone,” I decided to save her the trouble. She turned those eyes to me with her hair over one side of her shoulders."I know," she touched her tongue to her upper lip with that smug smile like she knew what I was thinking.I cleared my throat as I clasped my hand in front of me, "Why did you come?" I wanted to return to my solitude and bask in the feel of my Wolf.At least then I'd feel something warm other than the cold air and shoulders I received last night."I heard you didn't step out all day," she reported my own actions that I was wel
Aurelia's POVI walked out of the room with Liam behind me. The eerie feeling in the air only worsened my anxiousness. Liam closed the door and I saw he jabbed in the keys.His stare was too hard on that poor knob but I dreaded when they would turn to me. I turned my face away, working on my breathing and thinking of what to say.That room… Why was he so worked up about it? The crown hadn't left my mind nor the jewelries that looked like royalty.Did it belong to a queen? Perhaps, was that his mother's room?"Come with me."He walked in front of me and I hurried to keep up with his pace even as I wasn't by his side. He kept his head straight and his shoulders stiff.I could read the room and I knew I was in a bit of trouble. I wondered if apologising for wandering about his castle like a lost soul would cut it?But then again, he might just ignore it and list the number of times I've been in trouble.He could say, "Why won't you stay put, Aurelia?" Or, "Do you enjoy sticking your nos
Aurelia's POV"Why would you treat me so nicely, touch me so gently and still keep me at arms length?" I had been trying to figure it out all on my own but it was impossible to keep up with his mood swings."Andre and I made a deal," I revealed. "The reward was that he would answer whatever question I had concerning you-""What did you give in return?"I paused at his voice and made the mistake of looking at him. His eyes were sharp and piercing, it almost made me lose my confidence again but I clutched onto it like air."To get you to attend the Annual Hunt," I whispered, getting a bit worried about his reaction.But even when he looked unaffected, I knew Andre was going to have a long night."You could've stayed in the Castle- safe and sound. You wouldn't have to go through all of that trouble," he gripped the table. I knew what he was doing. I had seen this before."It's not like I knew what was planned for me," I pointed out too. "What if whoever kidnapped me had snuck into the Ca
Liam's POVWe walked out of the garden holding hands. I squeezed her small hands tightly and she responded, earning an uncontrollable smile from me. I glanced at her as we took a stroll through the hallway. The nape of her neck had turned red and her ears too. I wondered if it was because of her tears or my confession. It was very hard to tell."Sorry about dinner," I apologised and surprisingly found it easy to do so. She twisted her neck to me but didn't hold my gaze for very long. She was feeling shy."It's fine," she mumbled. "I don't think I can eat anymore… I'm filled up," I felt the same way too. My beast was pleased and so was I. It sent a heavy dose of excitement through my whole body and my stomach wasn't left out."I understand. I feel the same way too-" she suddenly yanked her hand from my grasp. She intertwined her fingers and slowed down in her steps. I frowned at the sudden behaviour and was about to ask when I noticed two maids heading our way.She was afraid to be see
Liam's POV She threw her head back, moaning without care as I slipped my fingers in and out of her. It was fun and also excruciatingly painful watching her pussy clamp down on my fingers and coating it with her sweet juices. Her insides were warm and inviting. It took a strong hold for me not to drool but with my eyes on her core, I was this close to salivating. "You've made a mess out of me," I chuckled at how crazy she was making me feel. My cock was so hard, budging against my briefs, it was a sweet mixture of pain and pleasure. I increased the movement of my hands and her moans grew louder and so did her breathing, faster. "Yes, yes," she chanted and I felt her warm hand on the side of my face. I looked up to find her staring at me with lips parted to catch her breath and pleasure written all over her face. I doubted she could even remember her name if I asked. I leaned closer to her hand with my fingers working overtime inside her. The way she rolled her hips, I could tell sh
