I took the last sip of my wine in one gulp before setting the cup down with a heavy thud and making my way out of my chambers toward the secret cell.

As I walked, I couldn't stop my mind from drifting back to the mission. In fact, it was one of the reasons I had remained locked away in my chambers for so long instead of handling other matters.

Waiting had never been one of my strengths, and yet that was exactly what I'd spent the last few hours doing.

I paused briefly outside the corridor

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   142: Abyss of darkness 4

    DamianFighting would never do the job. Resisting would never amount to anything. Even Aaron was already weak… terribly weak, from whatever force and substance had been forged into those chains.And worse, exhaustion was eating us alive so deeply that it terrified me. It was only a matter of time before we lost consciousness and ended up completely at the mercy of this wicked witch and whatever she intended to do to us… to my body.Her lust, her cursed arousal, tugged at me, pulling at something buried deep within me.Something fierce.Something far beyond mere thoughts.Her kind were the type who got whatever they wanted, whichever way seemed fit; through manipulation, promises, or force, without ever looking back.And with a witch this ancient and powerful, we both knew we didn’t stand a chance if we kept fighting. Or resisting her.And worse still was the sight of Aurora in pain.It tugged at me viciously.It tore straight through my chest.I had failed her again.I couldn’t protec

    Trigger warning!Monica“Fine,” he muttered.My heart beat like a thousand joyful rivers in ecstasy as my core dripped. The desire, the longing, the desperate need to get everything dear from him consumed me completely. The need to be mesmerized by his touches, to be taken by his hardened length, to be utterly consumed by him, unraveled every inch of my control.My eyes dropped lower, to where he crouched, and I could already sense the sheer size of his length beneath that thick fabric.It was huge, and the mere thought alone sent me spiraling over the edge. My body jerked with the intensity of my hunger, and it pleased me, just the way everything was unfolding.But first, the distraction had to go. The image of his mate had to be dealt with. Even though I knew none of it was truly real, it all felt like shadows, like carefully crafted illusions.I was far too occupied to solve the puzzle or trace the route of the portals.He had accepted.I gave him exactly what I wanted him to see.

    Aurora“Where are we?”“I don’t know. But I feel a certain connection,” Keira hummed, and I could feel that subtle eagerness riding beneath her voice.“What’s that?”Silence.Then she spoke again, her voice lower this time. “Maybe we should proceed. I think something awaits us at the far end of this road.”“We are in a place we don’t know and…”I paused as I turned backwards and almost gasped out my breath, stumbling into the crushed grasses at the sight before me.“No…”The word slipped from my lips as I pulled back slightly.The light shimmered like rays, towering upward and disappearing into the sky. A strange blend of green and blue. It looked like a barricade, a surge of ancient magic, something that should only exist in fantasies.I couldn’t fully describe what it looked like, but it pulsed like an electric veil connecting the rays together.My eyes widened as my mouth fell open. I knew it was a bad idea, but my body moved before my senses could fully process it.I stepped towar

    AuroraI’m not unconscious. I’m alive. I’m awake, but I can’t seem to feel my body. It’s as if my entire being changed from the impact of that punch to my back.The pain in my lower abdomen only seemed to increase, making it impossible to lift myself from the floor without a groan slipping from my lips.I don’t know what they want from us, from me, and even though fear curled around me and settled deep within my chest, it still didn’t make me want to quit fighting.I can’t let them take me again. I can’t let myself go through another torrent of pain, and goddess knows what their intentions are this time.I curled up with Keira’s aid, and we dodged another attempt to strike us. It wasn’t a light punch, and it had been a narrow escape too, because if that blow had connected, it would have sent us straight into unconsciousness.My heart screamed for Damian, for help, for his presence. For rescue from whatever this entire ordeal was. I didn’t even see this coming. I’m not even sure how it

    DamianI hated the fact that I had let her see how terrified I truly was. This wasn’t the initial plan Aaron and I had crafted to get the witch to a point where manipulating her into believing us would become easier.Maybe, at some point, I simply couldn’t stand the audacity anymore. Or the horrifying recognition of her intentions, even without her saying them aloud.But who wouldn’t be terrified?Hearing her threaten my mate was one thing, but the mirrors… the faint glow spreading across them before the image of Aurora finally appeared…My heart dropped violently at the sight before me.It was the kind of horror I couldn’t even find the strength to voice aloud, yet it still cracked something heavily guarded inside my chest.“Aurora!” I screamed, trying to reach her, but the shackles only tightened harder than before, pulsing with dark magic three times stronger than the initial force. My knees slammed against the hard marble floor as pain shot violently through me.I couldn’t stand t

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   137: Abyss of darkness 1

    Monica All I wanted was for him to fall into my trap. I wanted him to see all the goodness woven into my promises and to embrace the freedom and light that came with pure dominance. And in return, my condition, when properly layered, would finally be met. But what if it didn’t work? What if he didn’t want every good thing I had promised him? What if all he ever wanted was the freedom to be with his mate and nothing else? No… I bit down on my lips as my heart lurged violently and furiously, the air of dominance slipping through every space of my body. But I quickly pulled it back within myself as I studied him for a while. I wasn’t wrong when I told myself he was a man of pure heart and strong will. And I wasn’t merely flattering myself when I said he was handsome. So gorgeous and even more breathtaking at close range that his scent alone was intoxicating, like I was getting drunk off it, and I never wanted the intoxication to end. If nothing else, I wanted more. Not that I

    AuroraI'm blown off my feet as Damian leads me toward the washroom. The truth is that I wanted to resist, I wanted to tell him to stop, that I could do that myself, but… my body betrayed me again.I just can't bring myself to say the words, and somehow, I begin to feel drawn into whatever he has i

    DamianWhen I left Liam, I returned straight to my floor.

    Aurora “Nothing much, Luna… I just came to check to be sure you are alright since you didn't show up for dinner,” she said with a note of genuine concern.And despite everything, it softened something in me.“Thanks for your concern. But I'm fine, as you can see. And speaking of which, Damien alre
