《Maeve》ChapterTwentyTwo: His Prey
Advertisement
The moon shined through the window. It was truly a beautiful night with stars on the sky and bright moon shining even brighter than the stars. Maeve was sitting on the large bed trying to gather all of her thoughts. What should she do? Sit in there and wait for him as he drank wine next to a big fireplace.
He didn't have his shirt on anymore. Instead of warming his muscles it warmed and decorated the floor.
The dim light in the room didn't let Maeve see all the outlines of his back but it let her see few scars on his skin. It made her want to feel the scars under her fingers. Every scar has a story and she wanted to know where and how did he get those.
He took a big gulp from his wine.
"May I have s-some?" Maeve muttered quietly but knowing that he will hear her.
"You want wine?" His mate nodded. She never stopped surprising him. Last time she wanted wine was on the balcony but he was so wasted that entire night he really didn't remember much. Just some ladies that danced around him in skimpy clothes and exposing their cleavage. But he did remember kissing the human clearly, what her lips felt against his and how she let her hands go through his hair. Maybe he should have drunk less and been soberer but no one can change the past, even though you would like to do it sometimes. Even Dominic had a few things he would change in his past. One of them would be killing all the humans' with his father when he was still alive but he died a long time ago.
Maeve thanked him as he gave her a glass full of red liquid called wine. The light of the fireplace made it sparkle a little. As she took a sip she almost moaned. It tasted really good better than ever before, actually, it was her third time of tasting it. Her mother had whew bottles but they were locked away and if she saw Maeve even looking at them she would start to nag her about how she is still too young to be drinking.
"You like it?" The werewolf asked.
Maeve shook her head, "I love it." She said and gave him the biggest smile she had given in a long time. Her face muscles even started to hurt a little. Maybe he isn't that bad what they say? You just need to get to know him better.
She took another sip of her wine and grinned. Something bitter spread in her mouth. The human noticed that the alpha male was staring right at her as she grinned. Because she didn't want to seem impolite she tried to keep smiling as her mouth was dying.
What is happening to her? Did he poison her? Maeve wanted to cry as she felt her throat burn. Has he finally managed to do the only thing he has wanted since she took a step inside the castle? She started to scratch her throat as if the burn would stop magically.
Dominic looked at the teary eyes of the human. Her eyes wandered around the room trying to find something. When her eyes stopped at the class of water next to him he realized that she clearly wanted some water.

He took the glass of water and gave it to her.
Maeve looked at the water first little cautiously, after all, she didn't know if he poisoned it too but after a few seconds she took the glass and drank like she hadn't seen water in years.
"If I knew that drink would have affected the way it did, I wouldn't have given it to you." He said taking a sip from his drink.
Maeve looked at him as a tear fell on her cheek, " You didn't p-poison it?"
Dominic snorted, "Do you really think I would poison you?" Because the human didn't answer and looked at him with wondering eyes he continued, "I don't poison people, Maeve."
"Oh." She breathed. It was weird hearing him say her name, first of all, she thought he didn't even know her name. He has always called her by 'human' or 'girly' or something else that she didn't like.
Hearing him say her name made her feel very exhausted again. Her nipples hardened and it was clear that he noticed that too. His eyes started to darken again as she closed her legs tighter together.
Maeve tried to calm down that she could go back to her room but the male in front of her looked like he was going to attack her in a few seconds.
"D-Dominic?" She whispered not knowing what to do. Maybe he is getting sick too? When those words left from her lips the little string that had kept the king still snapped in half. Like once earlier in today Maeve looked like a little mouse compared to him. She was his prey and he was her predator.
He forced her back against the mattress as he climbed over her forcing his knee go between her thighs. His hands and legs caging her into the mattress that she couldn't move even if she tried. She felt tears form in her eyes but at the same time, the wetness between her legs increased.
Maeve gulped.
When Dominic smelled her arousal only increasing he smirked and stared right into her eyes. They looked scared and at the same time horny. Something inside of him snapped, maybe they weren't such bad mates, after all, to each other.
Maeve looked terrified when he put his head on the crook of her neck and licked it once. That made Maeve to almost go over the edge and her chest started to raise more often. He noticed her reaction and made a love bite onto her neck smirking at the same time.
He took one look at her filthy cotton dress and tore it apart revealing a skimpy corset. Her hands started to tremble. She had never been so undressed in front of a man, not even her mother had seen her in this less clothed since she was ten years old.
Just take deep breaths, she told herself as he started to open the laces of her corset. Soon he is going to see the one part of her she has always been so insecure about. She wasn't a curvy woman and knew it but she also knew what kind of women usually were around him. She had seen them and heard them talking about it.

She froze as the last parts of the fabric that covered her most private parts were taken away. The human was now only in her birth suit as the male on top of her had everything under the navel covered. His upper body spread warmth into hers.
Before she was even realizing it he cupped her sex and put one of his fingers inside of her making her moan.
She started to mumble something that was foreign to him, but it didn't stop him from making his way between her legs. Maeve tried to close her legs with every single drop of strength she had in her small body, but he didn't let that happen. He pushed her legs even more wide open.
She was so embarrassed with him just being between her legs and not doing anything. As if he was just staring at her which made her feel so uncomfortable but there was nothing she could do. But all those thoughts disappeared when he licked her for the first time.
She started to moan and move uncontrollably trying to get away from him and his mouth on her sex but at the same time, she never wanted it to end. It felt like she had gone to heaven.
Dominic smirked and started to finger her even faster making her squirm in pleasure. He continued doing it for few minutes before pressing and blowing into he clitoris at the same time making her have the first orgasm she has ever gotten. Not even realizing what was happening when her eyes went blurry for a few seconds from the unbelievable pleasure her body was feeling.
After that Maeve felt exhausted. Every limp didn't want to move when she tried to rise from the bed, but either did the beast who was now as naked as her.
He pressed her against the bed one more time before putting his throbbing length into her waiting core. Maeve felt only pain as he pushed inside of her. Tears started to fall from her eyes as he kept pushing inside of her. When his length broke her hymen she cried out loud and tried to push him away from her but she was too weak.
She was no longer a virgin.
The pleasure she felt when he licked her was long gone. Now thinking about it Maeve couldn't understand how she could have felt so much pleasure when now she felt like she was being ripped apart.
"P-please." She cried out in pain. This was literally nothing she had expected, no one ever told that it will hurt this much. Unlike her wishes, he didn't stop. He kept moving his hips back and forth, every time faster than the earlier.
"S-s-stop," She whispered feeling like no voice was coming out of her mouth. He didn't seem to care about her pleads and continued to push his length into her even faster. Maeve even tried to scratch his back to let him know that she was in pain and praying it to stop.
Minutes went by and most of it she spent in a pain. In some rare moments, she felt pleasure run through her spine. It wasn't as bad as it was in the beginning but she still wanted it to stop. This was the first and the last time she will ever let someone be inside of her. It felt like her body wasn't designed to pleasure the other sex. The King will go back to the other women like before this night.
The thought about him sleeping with other women made her hurt even more. First, she didn't want to admit it, because he is a heartless monster who will never love anyone, but she couldn't deny it anymore. She had a crush on him and tonight won't change it. Soon he released his semen inside of her and got up from the bed.
He looked at her for a while before dressing up and leaving the room.
Maeve looked at the door he closed behind. Why did he leave? Was it that bad for him too? She wanted to cry but no tears would form in her eyes. He left her in a pool of her blood and his semen.
He really didn't care about her. Is she only another whore for him? She had feelings and a beating heart that cried after him. Her heart wanted and craved for him, but for him, it was almost better is she was lying in some dusty corner with her dead best friend.
Maeve couldn't do anything but to stare at the ceiling. Nothing mattered anymore, he finally broke her. No chase or execution did the trick so he broke her spirit. She truly wished that after tonight they would have at least been friends.
The stories were true he never wanted a mate. Nothing could warm his heart anymore. It was made of a stone with an ice layer.
A little squeak broke her thoughts. Could it be? She hoped and turned to look at the corner she heard the voice.
"Oh, Tommy!" She screamed and ran to him. The soreness between her legs made her walk a little strange but she really needed to hug him. She crushed him against her cheek and kissed his little head.
"I missed-d you", She said as she put on a robe she found on the bench.
Tommy looked like he had when they last saw each other. Nothing has happened to him and that thought only made her heart warm a little.
"You have no idea what has happened to m-me," She whispered. So much has happened since the last time she saw him, but now things were a little better. She had him as a company. Who even needs a cold-hearted king in their life?
"What the fuck is that?" Someone snarled at the door.
Maeve quailed and turned to look at the person who was at the door. Her heart throbbed as she saw her mate standing at the door with a shiny dress on his hands and food in a tray.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
