His daughter is still messing around with the peasant, he wouldn't listen." Automatically, Kamara got in front of Callan in a protective stance. "Why are you being this way? You think my father will finally crown you the Head Concubine with this?" "Oh, I know he will. Because I just proved that I'm looking out for him yet again. He will make me the Head Concubine, then, I'll birth him a child and my son will be a prince." She smirked. Kamara's heart thudded in her chest because she's been caught and she put Callan in trouble, not because of Donna's claims that she will stop being the Head Mistress and be crowned the Head Concubine. That isn't a problem to her. Kings has NOT made Head Concubines in centuries for a good reason. They don't even think about it. "Le

There was a recruit of new palace workers, so, she had a lot to do. It's late at night now. Only an hour ago did she get enough time to go to the kitchen and sneak out a huge meal for Vetta. She'd taken it to her in the dungeon before she went back to the kitchen and cooked chicken broth herself for Danika. As usual, the pregnant woman put up a huge fuss because she has no interest in eating broth but in the end, she'd ate it again while cussing her and creating so much fuss. Afterwards, she'd made her bed for her and they'd said goodnight. She just returned to her bedroom when the guards told her that she's been summoned by the King in the Consultation Room..***********  Why the Consultation Room? Baski as

To uncollar her is to give her a choice, but to make her a Queen is to take the choice of her ever staying away from her. Please, don't do it... Please. You deserve to be happy! She deserves to be happy too!" He will not budge. "She has a duty to her people. Once I uncollar her, being a free person isn't an option, Baski. She was a princess. Her father's throne is empty. She has a duty to fill it." Baski cut in. "And hold a Royal Banquet, and take a husband who will rule with her. And produce heirs to the throne." She paused, "She will be forced to take a husband by DUTY! She is very beautiful and she has power! Another man will have her! Are you truly okay with it?" Bu

He crowded her personal space, standing so close that all she sees...all she smells...is him.   Then, he was kissing her.   His lips landed on hers and his hand slid from her chin to graze through her hair. His fingers clenched, fisting her hair as electricity arced between them.   "Danika...!" Her lips were forced apart with the motion and as his tongue shot inside. She was mildly scared at his intensity, but at the same time, she felt a great wave of relief as if she'd finally come home.   His torso pressing against hers, his arm came off the wardrobe from behind her and wrapped around her waist in a merci

Then, he lowered his head and kissed their baby. Tears stung her eyes. He hasn't made that display since yesterday, she didn't realize how much it hurt and bothered her until he did it. Her hands squeezed the bedding to keep from cradling his head close to her. "Our child belongs to us." He groaned, his eyes on her stomach, "He will always belong to us." "Yes." "But, you belong to me. No other man." Even if it's for tonight. "Yes. I belong to you." Emotions tightened her throat. The thought of belonging to any other man who's not him repulsed her. Then, he rose and undressed in swift movements. I
