“I won’t take long, I promise,” I begged, pulling Brum by his arm but he was already walking out of the flying machine and dragging me with him. I dug on the floor with my heels, trying to pull him back but to no avail.   “Please, please, please, I won’t take even a second, just change out of this dress,” I begged with him pulling me, so I stumbled and ran, knocking his body.   “When the king calls, you go straight to him.” He said with me sighing.   “He is my mate Brum, I can’t just go looking like this, how will he stop staring at other girls if I come looking like this.” I cried out with Brum already at the door, ready to open it.   “Get yourself together.” He warned. There was no way of helping me. I pulled the skirt of my dress, wiping my face and leaving the dress black. I hoped the blood had all been wiped from my face. I could just feel my hair going in all directions.  

“YOU ARE MINE.” “No.” I did not know where I was taking the courage to speak but the words slipped from my lips nonetheless, be damned with the consequences. He had to know his place in my life, he had to be checked. My body and my mind were in a battle. I knew my mind would lose as I pressed myself on him. My fingers were uncontrolled as they dragged down his back with my nails nearly digging through the fabric so I decided to slip them under it. The feel of his bare skin was too much.  I could not help the moan, my body moving on its own, pushing on him and opening up like a flower at the break of dawn. His other hand was fast to grip my right thigh, pulling my other leg up to wrap it around him. My sex was out and wide open for him. So many thoughts going through my head, a huge debate

I pulled the first pair of jeans I could find. My hands wrinkled from staying underwater for so long. I pulled on a white T-shirt and slipped it on as my feet slid into the first slides I could find. My hair was pulled into a ponytail, walking out of my bedroom to close it shut after me. My broken heart was aching, worried, and concerned. I knew I would not be alright until I saw that he was okay. I was not alright; I was nowhere being alright but I knew I eventually would be. As of then, I had to make sure the only person who had my back since the first time I met him was okay. I did not know how I would do it but I had to see him. The king was set on driving me to insanity, taking all that made it bearable to wake up and fight another day. He took away my hope, took away everything and how was I supposed to keep my head up after that. The elevator opened with me stepping out. I was afraid to ask be

I could not hear, I could not see, just sitting there, chewing with my teeth grinding on each other. The anger had me piped up, my face inflamed with my hands shaking yet I continued picking one fruit from the other. It took everything in me not to throw it at the girl who suddenly stood up again, walking around the table to take a meat bowl then went back to her seat, sitting down and settling, a smile on her face. She was putting up a show, just spreading my mate’s scent all around. It was so strong I knew she had not taken a shower. My eyes closed to open. He had kissed her with the same lips he used to kiss me. He had touched her the way he had touched me and had licked and sucked the way he had sucked me. With the same lips he had used to make me scream his name. Had he called her his too, had he groaned and claimed her as his too? The room was so silent with literally no one eating besides the king, myself, a

Breaking down in the shower was my thing, but I was able to finish my weeping session then went to pull on black sweatpants and a grey hoody sweater. My feet were covered in socks, sprawled on the floor as I opened the file Mrs. Mary had brought up. Work, training, and Brum would be the only things keeping me sane in the castle.The paper was brought to my face, reading or trying to, because everything time I read a word, all I heard was ‘little darkness’. I sighed. I could not concentrate; I could do nothing and time was going. The ball was in a few weeks and I wanted it to be perfect. Time was already not on my side.I loved that name though.His little darkness.Okay, girl, get your head straight! I screamed in my head, dropping the file.I sighed, giving up to turn and stare at the bed. My feet worked on their own, literally crawling to the bed like a five-month-old baby. My upper body picked up, my arms stretching with me smiling a
