The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Arabella Pov

I’ve been with Endymion for three months now. I can’t remember much from three months ago, but Endymion told me he found me in the woods, almost dying, and brought me back to his castle. He told me wolves were fighting to kidnap me because I’m special. When I try to remember, I do see fragments of people fighting. Along with the fragments, there are three glowing shadows of people that I feel like I should know. Endymion asks me every day what I remember. When I tell him about the three people, I think I know from my foggy memories that he orders a servant to bring me what he calls his special tea. He says the tea will help me remember.

Endymion tells me I have a wolf as well, but he had to cut off my connection with her for now since she was a traitor. I guess that makes sense. I don’t know why I have a traitor wolf inside of me, but Endymion says he can’t remove the wolf without killing me in the process. He says I am his queen, and once I get back to full power, he will continue with his plans to get revenge on those who wronged him and me. I love him so much. I can’t explain it, and some part of me is telling me not to, but it’s probably just my traitor wolf. I can’t listen to her. Endymion knows best.

I’m currently walking around the castle. The castle is huge, and it almost looks ancient. All black walls with a marble floor. The ceilings are four stories high, with black chandeliers hanging from them. There are torches along all of the walls. Servants are currently changing the torches into new ones. I don’t talk to them, and they don’t talk to me. They do their best to avoid me. With their black robes, it’s hard to see their faces anyway, so I have no idea what they look like. I do know that they smell wrong. I can’t explain that either.

I look out the window and bask in the glow of the fire. I was afraid when I first saw how it looked outside. It gave me a terrible feeling. Like fear. I couldn’t explain it, but Endymion says his ex-girlfriend cursed him to live in this place, and he tries to make the best out of it that he can.

Outside, there is a river of lava that surrounds the whole castle. There are workers outside hitting rocks and such, moving at an incredible speed. Sometimes I think I hear screaming, but Endymion says it’s just someone who is being disrespectful and disobedient. He tells me to never leave the castle, since there may be dangers out there since he has decided to make me his. He says his ex would probably get jealous and try to take me away from his protection.

According to Endymion, he and his ex were really in love. So, out of love, she didn’t want anyone else to have him because of how handsome he was. He was only a human, after all. He says she asked a friend to put a curse on him, so he would be forever bound to this place with the curse of immortality, and that the only way to break the curse is by using my blood, but only when I heal and get to my full powers without the use of my wolf.

He says coming to this place has made my powers weak. I will do anything for him. He is my beloved king.

“Are you okay, My Lady?” Did someone ask behind me? I turned around and saw Mila. Mila is Endymion’s daughter and my protector. He assigned her to me while I’m here to keep me safe.

“Yes, Mila, I’m just stretching my legs,” I tell her, and she smiles.

“How are your powers coming along, my lady?” She asks

“I can feel them, but I am having trouble accessing them. Endymion says it’s because of the place we are in, but he says they will come back soon. I hope they do. I want to help him complete his mission,” I told her.

“Trust me, I know. He is so happy to have you. I can tell how happy you make him, especially after that bitch ex of his cursed him. She is an evil woman.” Mila says.

“I will dedicate my life to making him free since he saved mine,” I tell her, and she smiles.

“You have no idea how happy that makes me,” a deep voice says from behind me. I knew who it was before turning around. When he approaches, I feel my body shudder, but not in a good way. He says that is a normal reaction, though. I turn around, and he grabs me in his arms, pulling me into a kiss.

“I’ll take my leave now. Father, my lady,” Mila says, bowing before leaving us. I turned back to Endymion.

“How was your meeting, my beloved?” I asked him, running my hands through his gorgeous blonde hair.

“Boring, but I’m better with you in my arms.” He says this, rubbing my back.

“Then you should show me how much you missed me,” I teased him, and he took off running to our room. He ran at a normal speed behind me, but I knew he could catch me quickly if he wanted to. Once I enter our room, he lifts me from behind and throws me gently on the black velvet bed, and I giggle as he playfully tickles me. I pulled him onto the bed, and we were both laughing away. He has such a beautiful laugh. It’s almost like music. I looked outside at the sky. It’s always dark here. Never any sun.

“What are you thinking, my lady?” he asked as he nestled his head on my chest.

“Just that there is no sun,” I told him. I felt him sigh and trail kisses on my shoulder up to my neck.

“I wish I could make it so you could see the sun. When the curse is broken and I leave, then we will spend many days in the sun,” he says, still kissing me. This makes me happy.

“You promise,” I asked.

“Of course,” he replies, and then he gets on top of me, kissing me. I kiss him back as he takes off his clothes, followed by him pulling my black dress off of me.

“You’re so beautiful, Arabella,” he whispered. He trailed kisses from my neck to my breasts and took one of my nipples into his mouth, licking it. I moan and grip his blonde hair. He spreads my legs and slides two fingers inside of me. I moan from the contact, but I also shudder again. He told me the shudder means it’s a good thing, so I know it’s okay.

After I ended up squirting on him, he brought his finger to my mouth.

“Taste how sweet you are,” he says, and I do. I’m licking his fingers and staring at him while I do it. His eyes trail my tongue, as if in a trance. I could feel his hard work pressing against me. He lifts himself up.

“Turn around,” he commands, and I flip over to be on my hands and knees. He grabs my hips and slides his member into me. The room is filled with his groans and my moans.

“Faster, babe,” I tell him, and he picks up the pace. He grips my hair and thrusts faster. I can feel my body start to shake as I begin to orgasm.

“FUCK IM CUMMING!” I scream, and at the same time, he shoots into me. We both collapsed on the bed as we rode our highs together.

“You are so perfect, Arabella,” he says, and I smile at him.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“I love you,” he says.

“I love you too,” I tell him, and we both drift off into a peaceful sleep.
