Chapter 315

Lady Merilyn had been on edge all day. The moment she heard both human princesses had gone into heat at the same time

while their males were in the mountains–she had prayed fervently for them.

Then came the news that the rulers had finally returned and the maximum relief that came with it.

But now, as she hurried through Ravenshadow’s courtyard, her heart raced with a new kind of fear. Why had the grand king summoned her?

Was everything not well? Was her master suffering a feral episode in the middle of rut? That fear unsettled her most of all.

A female in heat deserved a mate whose mind was intact, someone who could be fully present to meet their body’s demands. And this was Princess Aekeira’s first heat. The thought of her enduring it without proper care…

Merilyn quickened her steps.

By the time she reached the door, she was breathless, her nerves stretched thin. Lord Vladya’s chambers were fortified, so she could hear nothing from the outside.

She knocked, anxious. “Your Highness, it is I–Lady Merilyn. You requested my presence.”

The door swung open instantly.

A disheveled, sweaty, and utterly distressed King Daemonikai stood on the other side. His eyes wild, chest heaving, body vibrating with tension.

“Get in here.” His voice was deep, rough with rut and frustration.

Merilyn stepped in. The scent of heat and pheromones was so heavy, so potent in the air, her head spun. Desire rose, lust stirred. She fought to keep herself in check.

Her first glance landed on her master. Dressed in loose pants, his powerful frame relaxed but alert, standing by the mattress where Princess Aekeira lay asleep beneath the sheets.

Relief flooded Merilyn when she saw he was whole. Sated. In control. Aekeira was getting care. Good.

But when King Daemonikai led her into the adjoining bedchamber, all relief vanished. Princess Emeriel was a wreck.
