“Novak, what are you doing here?” I look at the huge male with sharp horns in shock. “I had to see you again. I couldn’t get you out of my head…” He walks closer, only stopping a couple feet from my bed.

“You disappeared.” I say watching him closely, how did he know this was my room?

“I apologize. I didn’t want anyone to recognize me.” He says with a pain look on his face. I look at him puzzled “Why?” He looks away “I can’t say just yet. In time I’ll tell you, I promise.”

I stand up straighter, looking at him closely. I don’t sense bad intent from him, actually sexual frustration? Where’d that come from, how-

Before I can even finish the thought, he walks right up to me, our chest barely touching. “My lady,” I look down to see a huge bulge in his tight leather pants. My face flames to life, I’m not able to look away until a rumbling sound catches my attention.

It’s coming from Novak, I look back up at him. His eyes are heated with lust, I can feel my body responding to his. I take a deep breath, his masculine scent filling my lungs. My head feels hazy again, like with Arcane.

“May I, take you tonight?” He asks gently, caressing his huge thumb against my small cheek. His touch sets a fire in my body, one I had no idea I had. I take his hand in mine nodding my head before I even realize it.

He pulls me close, taking me in a heated kiss. My body heats up more, craving the pleasure it knows he will give. I let my hands explore his wide chest and abs, loving every touch I make on his hard skin. He growls in approval, lifting me up into his arms before laying onto the bed.

He breaks our kiss, a whimper leaving my lips from the loss of them. “Patience my little one.” He growls, pulling my nightgown off me completely. My face heats up at his hungry look, my nipples pebble at his stare. “So beautiful…” He groans, taking my left breast into his mouth. My body arches with the uncontrollable pleasure, sounds leaving my mouth.

“That’s it, recognize who does this to your body.” He moves to the other breast, his large hand moving down to my most private parts. A deep moan leaves me once one of his large fingers fills me. “Novak!” I moan, my hips moving involuntarily, he uses his other hand to flatten me to the bed.

I let out a whine before he puts another finger in. Oh goodness! He starts pumping his fingers in and out of me while still torturing my poor breast. I can’t keep up with all this sensation and pleasure. I bite my lip hard, that amazing feeling building up in my stomach again.

“More! Please more!” I beg, my fingers running through his short clean cut hair. He grumbles with approval before going fast, nipping at my breast teasingly. Before I know it that hot liquid pleasure explodes once again, juices leaking out of me like a waterfall.

I pant heavily out of breath, Novak looks up at me with a satisfied smirk. Before the haze could even leave my eyes, I feel him move down my body. Positioning my hips the way he wants “Look at all this slick…” He grumbles approvingly, my breath becoming shallow now, the haze leaving.

I look down to see his hard straight up manhood. It twitches with need, my eyes widened at the size. That definitely way bigger than Arcanes! I don’t think that can possibly enter me at all, he’ll break me in two.

He smirks like he knows my thoughts “Don’t worry, you can take it, I promise. And when you do you’ll know nothing else like it.” He says confidently, “Now prepare little one, for the pleasure I will give.” He growls with deep meaning, looking into my eyes before he enters me in one deep thrust.

My body arches, my mind goes blank. Holy hell! I moan out loud and hard, he waste no time pounding into me like a beast. Because that’s what he is, a beast! 

He leans over me, never stopping his assault on my body. He grabs my hand, linking our fingers together. I can’t think or speak, I can only feel this powerful man above me take me to places I’ve never seen.

This wasn’t like with Arcane, he was gentle and loving. Novak is hard and rough, I can’t tell which I like more out of the two. Maybe I don’t even have to think who is better, as long as they're mine. I want Novak to be mine.

With that thought, I wrap my arms around his thick neck, holding on tight. He holds me to him, never slowing down at all. This man truly is a beast! Before I thought it couldn’t get much better, I feel him swell inside me, locking me to him. I lose my voice from the sear pleasure and fullness I feel. 

Nothing like it, there can never be nothing else like it! I moan out so loud I’m sure the whole castle can hear what this beast has done to me. But for once I don’t care, I’m not embarrassed. I couldn’t possibly be embarrassed with this much pleasure.

“That’s it Beatrice, take me, take all I give.” He growls, his hot seed filling me to new heights.

Before I can even say a word, my body falls into a much needed sleep.

I groan, my body feeling sore all over. I don’t even have the strength to open my eyes.

“My lady…” I hear Arabella's voice from somewhere. I try to find out where until a cup of some sort is brought to my lips and the liquid substance runs into my mouth and down my throat.

It tastes sweet, like fruit almost. I finally have the strength to open my eyes, seeing Arabella looking down at me.

I can’t explain the expression on her face. “It should help with the soreness my lady. I also added some good vitamins to help with your strength.” She always knows what to do for me, I truly don’t deserve her.

I feel a little of my strength come back, so I sit up in my bed. Arabella brings another cup to me “What’s this?” I ask taking the cup form her.

“This is a birth control.” She says matter of factly, I look at her shocked. “Huh?!” She sighs “My lady, I know what you got up to last night.” She gives me a sly look. I turn a complete shade of red, oh my goodness how could I forget the night I just had?!

I don’t even know what to say to Arabella, but thankfully she takes my silence as an answer. “Minotaurs are very potent my lady, it’s because of they’re knot that they have offspring easily with specific women.”

“Specific women?” I question, taking the drink to my lips and downing it in one gulp. Something like this doesn’t even exist back home. Though I know if I got pregnant during trials it won’t be easy.

“Yes, Minotaur men usually are able to sense which women can bring them to knot. They crave those women as well with a deep passion.” I nod understanding, it makes sense really. “Do the women usually have a reaction to them?” I ask curiously, she nods confirming for me.

“Yes, I believe the women go into a state of heated lust and possessiveness.” I blush at the reminder, so Novak and I are a nice fit huh?

I take a deep breath, trying to clear my head. Never thinking something like this would ever happen. “Thank you Arabella, and sorry…” I blush bowing my head to her in thanks.

“Oh not at all my lady. I’m here to serve and guide you!” She says cheerfully “Though a heads up would have been nice.” She says with a playful look.

“Me too honestly.” We both laugh and giggle together.

After Arabella got me ready for the day. She explained what would be happening during breakfast. Today I will find out my affinity!

I’m actually really excited, and I’m curious to see what the other girls get.

“You alright, my lady?” Arabella asks, looking over at me with concern. I give her a nervous smile “I’m fine Arabella, just really nervous is all.”

“You don’t need to be nervous, my lady.” She gives me a warm gentle smile, some of my nerves easing, only some. “Everyone in the kingdom will be watching. I’m gonna be a little nervous Arabella. What if I get an awful affinity?” She looks like she’s trying to hold back a laugh.

“My lady, I do not believe you could ever get an awful affinity. Your affinity represents you as a person. I think you are a great person, you have an adventurous personality. You will do fine.” Her smile brings the sun to shame. I don’t think anyone could be gripped with nerves after that. She truly is a blessing.

The guards in front of the throne room open the door. I walk in, finding my friends on the other side of the room. I walk over and take a seat next to them, Arabella standing behind me.

“I’m so excited!” Willow says next to Sona, Sona’s in the middle of the both of us. “I wonder what my affinity will be!” She claps her hands in excitement, turning to look at the both of us.

Sona huffs out a breath, looking bored with everything. She turns to me “Right now the Queen is talking with the people. After she’s done she’ll introduce us again and everyone will see what are affinity is.” She explains to me, she may seem a little intimidating at times but she's really helpful. 

“Thank you.” She nods to my thanks “Willow, calm down before you rip your dress or something.” She scolds Willow again, bringing a smile to my face.

“Welcome one and all!” The queen announces walking into the throne room from one of the side doors. The floating lights following her effortlessly.

Her dark black-purple tinted hair falls in curls down to her waist. Her flowing dress trailing behind her like water with ripples. A slight up her thigh exposing her gorgeous leg, silk draped over her shoulders and arms. Her dress is a purple and gold aesthetic, hugging her curvy figure perfectly. Her crown placed between her magisticly decorated horns. 

“As I’m sure you know, today we will be seeing what affinities are lovely chosen may have.” She looks over toward all of us, the lights following her gaze.

“I’m quite excited to see what all these lovely ladies have up their sleeves. I know our men have definitely been eyeing up these lovely ladies as well.” 

She gives the lights a smirk “I’m sure you can hear it all form the castle, so no point in me saying anything at all.” My face flushes red, why do I feel like she’s talking about me?

“No more talk, let’s bring out our hat and see what he has to say!” An elf emerges from one of the side doors with a black long hat, similar to a cowboy hat, but not.

The elf places it on the lush plushed seat in the middle of the throne room. Which I presume is we’re we’ll be sitting to find out our affinities.

The queen walks over to the hat, smiling at it fondly. “Hello Boo. I hope you're up to give us some affinities today.” 

The hat morphs a face on itself, looking to seem bored or grumpy. “Yes your majesty, I can’t say no to you.” She smiles at him brightly, turning to the lights.

“Let’s us get started then!” She declares, her face glowing. “The first chosen will be,” it feels like everyone is holding their breath. I bet the people in their homes are too. 

I have a feeling this is gonna be our big start off into this competition. One we fully don’t know what we’re fighting for either. All I know is that I want to win, whatever it may be or even we may win nothing at all. No one knows, but the queen.

I have a feeling playing into her favoritism and the people’s support will play a big role. It’s definitely gonna be interesting, it also means we’ll have enemies. So it could get messy, I have a feeling Annabeth is gonna be a problem.

She doesn’t seem like the type to lose, and always gets what she wants. Even if she has to play dirty, I have a feeling she said something to Lucy and somehow got her on her side.

All I can do is show Lucy she made a mistake and beat Annabeth.

“Annabeth!” She stands up, I didn’t miss the side eye she gave me before walking to the seat.

Bring it bitch.
