Then, Father sort of banned anyone of ever going into the woods again. I was too young to understand but Mother told me some dangerous creatures lurked in the woods. They would come out to hunt, especially during the full moon.
That was why there was this unwritten rule in the Kaya Kingdom that no one should wander in the streets after dusk during the full moon.
Especially young women…Whatever the mythical creatures they were, they seemed to be very interested in young fertile females, especially the virgins.
When I grew up later, I learned that the mythical creatures they spook of had been the werewolves. Rumor had it, they were the aborigines of the land before the Kaya Kingdom took over. The werewolves were considered subhuman. I had never seen one in real life but according to the elders, they were hideous and as a result of their self-hatred, they kidnaped young women as revenge.
I did not think I would ever share their worry since I was confined in the walls of the palace anyway. Since mother passed, I did not think I had ever set foot on the other side of the walls. It was like I had been imprisoned here…until my prince charming would come and sweep my feet away.
I thought that was what Father had planned for me as well.
“Princess Lilith?” I rolled my eyes and turned around to meet with my chaperon, Karyn. A sigh escaped from her chest as the tensed look on her face relaxed.
Karyn was thirty-five years old with three kids from three different husbands. She had been my nanny since I was born. Before she started working in the palace, she used to be an engineer.
She always prided herself for being the only female engineer in the field. But when she got pregnant, she had to give up her job. Sometimes, I thought she was my best friend. Sometimes she irritated the hell out of me.
“Oh god, Princess Lilith! I have been searching for you everywhere!” said Karyn when she towered in front of me. She was at least five feet five. She told me once she wanted to be a model, but no one would hire a pregnant teen. “Look, Prince Zaul from the Zenithian Kingdom is here and he is so stoked to meet you!”
Karyn’s face lit up with excitement as if she was the one about to be married off to a foreign land. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh.
“Oh, I am sure he is. Father really cannot wait to get rid of me,” I sighed and followed Karyn down the hallway.
My thought went back to the deforestation project going on at the Forest of the Wolves. If they let the project go on, soon all the woods would be gone and the last memories I had shared with mother would be wiped out. I knew I had to stop this.
I pulled up suddenly, the anxiety attack suddenly gnawed at me. “Wait, Karyn, I cannot do this. There is a more important matter I need to take care of right now.”
Karyn’s eyes sprang open. A petrified look took over her face. “What, Princess Lilith? No way! You must come with me at once! Prince Zaul has waited for you for a long, long time!”
A smirk quirked the corner of my lips. “Well, if this Prince Zaul cannot wait for me for a bit, that proves he is not really worthy of my heart, isn’t it?”
“Princess, if you are thinking about changing your father’s mind about the deforestation project, spare the trouble. His decision is final. After all, it is a collaboration project with Prince Zaul. You would stand a chance if you try to convince your suitor instead.”
I arched my freshly manicured brow at Karyn. The color on her face paled to shades of white.
“Please, Princess Lilith, I would be the one who will suffer from their wrath if they don’t see you,” begged Karyn. Her glassy eyes looked pink. Guilt pricked at my conscience.
Of course, father had never punished me if I ever did anything wrong. It was always Karyn or other maidservants who would feel the sting of his wrath if he should catch me doing something that he less liked. Though Karyn would usually fix my shit before father found out.
That was why I was rarely mischief.
He knew which button to push.
An explosive sigh escaped from my chest. “Fine, I shall meet with this Prince Zaul first. I already have a feeling he is not my type.”
A faint smile curved Karyn’s lips. “Oh, you will be surprised, my liege. Prince Zaul is tall and dark and a bodybuilder. And look gorgeously handsome too! You should look at his abs and biceps, oh dear, is it getting hot right here?”
Karyn’s face turned bright red as she wiped her hand over her forehead. I had to roll my eyes at her. She was a drama queen sometimes.
“Now, before you meet him, you must change into this dress I chose for you,” said Karyn.
“Wait, what?” my eyes bulged. “Why do I have to put on special clothes to see someone now? What do you think I am? A puppet?”
Karyn backed off sheepishly. “I am sorry, my liege. It is the King’s orders. He thinks you should at least put on something nicer to flatter your suitor.”
“Oh, for goodness sake!” I wanted to storm into the throne room and confronted Father right now, but it would not do Karyn any good. So I let her drag me back into my own room.
“Let me bring you your clothes!”
Karyn sheepishly went to my walk-in closet and reappeared later with a rose gold dress. It was a beautiful long mermaid-tail dress that flowed down to the floor, except it looked translucent and the collar dipped a bit too much down to the cleavage. There was also a long slit that hiked up to my hips.
“I am not wearing this! What is this? It looks like lingerie!” I cried out, feeling slighted that anyone would expect me to wear something like that.
“Princess Lilith, the King has ordered you to wear specifically this dress. He thinks his suitor would like it.”
“This is insane!”
“Please, Princess Lilith! Please put this on, my liege. I think it will look beautiful on you!”
I saw the pleading look on Karyn’s face and reluctantly nodded in agreement. She did not deserve this. After all, she just wanted a job to put food on the table for her kids. “Alright, I will put it on.”
Karyn almost jumped a foot in the air in relief. “Let me bring you your heels!”
“I am not going to wear something any more ridiculous! Pick something nice!” I shouted when she was already out of the door. I heard her muffled voice in the hallway saying, “Will do, Princess Lilith!”
I glared at the dress Karyn left on my dresser. Picking it up, I put it against myself and looked at my own reflection on the mirror. Karyn was right. It did look flattering.
Without waiting for Karyn to come back, I decided to try on the dress first. If it made me look like a clown, I’d cancel the whole plan at once. I undid the laces of my current dress and peeled it off me.
I chucked the dress on the floor and stood in front of the full-length mirror to study myself. I could not remember the last time I had looked at myself closely in the mirror.
I remembered why now. My long crimson hair and green eyes had to remind me of my Mother. I always thought it was a blessing until she was gone. I could not look at myself in the mirror because I knew it would remind me of her so much.
I reached my hand out and touched my own reflection on the face, scrutinizing the small details I inherited from mother. I also had her small dainty nose and high cheekbones and the sprinkle of freckles on my face that were never there before.
It terrified and delighted me at the same time how I was slowly transforming into my own mother.
I heard a racket coming from behind me. Thinking Karyn must be back, I turned around and was mortified.
“Who the fuck are you?” My trembling voice betrayed my fears. My body was shaking from shock and partly, excitement.
Who was this partially naked, tall and dark man in my room? His hungry, dreamy golden eyes glazed over as they feasted on my half-naked body. My stomach flipped when I found out that I was wearing nothing but my skimpy silk bra and panties.
“You look beautiful. Did you dress up this way to impress me?
”
I was trembling when I reached my arm out and grabbed the dress to cover myself up so that I would look half-decent. I glared at the hot stranger in my room.
“Who are you?” I demanded. This time I sounded louder and sterner that the man snapped out of his trance.
His deep-set golden eyes pierced straight into mine. Did I mention that he was half-naked too? Ripped six pecs packed under tanned, glistening skin. His back was covered with bristling fine hair that looked a bit too beast-like.
Bulging green veins pulsed along his lean arms. Were all men hairy like this? I could never tell. This had to be the first time I had ever seen a half-naked man.
“Does it matter who I am?” he asked, his voice was deep and dripped with arrogance.
“No, but you are in my room!” I snarled.
A growl escaped from his muscular chest as he squared his shoulders, making himself look even sturdier than before. I staggered back until my back was connected to the dresser behind me when I stepped closer.
“Really?” He smirked. “What about when your people take over the land of the Wolves?”
His shadow loomed over me as he towered over me. Damn. He was tall and big too. I hated myself more for being so small and petite. This hairy, muscular beast could easily fold me into halves.
“What about the fate of the Wolves when you destroy their homes?”
I blinked quickly. I was no longer listening to what he was saying anymore.
A flame of heat licked my pussy, making my legs tremble. I gulped nervously and tried to breathe normally. I had no idea what happened to me. Suddenly, my body was turning into quivering jelly.
Why did the idea of this hunky stranger folding me into halves get me all excited and horny? It reminded me of the times when Karyn would tell me her sexual adventures. I had never had sex or even touched myself.
I always thought that my genital were filthy and did not belong to myself. I tried not to touch it whenever I showered. Right now, my curiosity was burning between my legs.
A wet heat grew in my crotch. It was the same feeling I felt when Karyn told me what his men do to her.
Sometimes, I was jealous of her and wished that I could be in her shoes instead. But right now, this hunky stranger was standing right in front of me and I had no idea what to do…
This handsome beast was standing so close to me that I could taste the exhale of his breath. His chest bobbed up and down, increasing in speed. A brief tensed look flickered across his face, then his biceps firmed up.
Suddenly, it hit me.
Tall, dark, bodybuilder.
My eyes widened in surprise. A smirk quirked up the corner of my lips. “You are really impatient, aren’t you?”
The beast frowned, then stepped back. “What?” he mouthed.
“I thought you were with my father. Who let you roam around the Palace…?” I could not stop myself from letting my eyes wander on his tight abs. Then, I accidentally wandered off too far down south.
I almost keeled over and collapsed into the embrace of his sweet yummy arms. His ragged pants slung deliciously low on his hips, showing off his sharp V-shaped hipbones.
I was getting light-headed when I saw the bulging package prodding against the crotch of his pants. His dick print pressed against the tight fabric, leaving nothing to the imagination.
“Holy shit!” I clamored, unable to hold myself back.
When I looked up, the hunky beast sneered at me, knowing exactly what I was referring to. “Like what you see?”
I pursed my lips and fought to calm my nerves. I was a princess, a royal. Not some cheap whore who could not keep her fingers off a man. But right now, my stomach was sparking with need.
I had never felt this desperate and needy before!
“Oh princess, you will love what I am about to do to you with it,” he growled.
The hunky beast stepped closer to me. My head was spinning so quickly. The space between my pussy twitched and tightened. My eyes were fluttering as naughty fantasies multiplied in my head.
Oh yes, fuck. I want it so badly right now…
It was as if he possessed some sort of magic made me all crazy about him right now. But looking so hot like that, he needed no magic to make me feel like a whore. I tried not to let my feelings show.
“I am looking for a prince charming, not a prince asshole.”
I thought he was going to claim me. At this stage, I did not mind giving him my virginity. My fingers were dying to reach out and have a feel of his erection.
“What you need is a bad boy who will treat you right.”
I sucked in a breath when the gorgeous stranger grabbed me by the back of my neck, his dominant, strong palm held fast onto me. I was trapped, locked under his weight.
“You smell so delicious, my princess. I bet you taste as good too…” he growled.
My eyes sprang open when he bent over and locked his thin, nonexistent lips against mine. I thought I was going to pass out. He appeared rough, but his kiss was gentle and domineering. His mouth parted slightly to take mine in.
The dress slipped from my fingers and bunched on the floor. I was wearing nothing but bra and panties in front of this hot stranger.
My body relaxed against him. I was breathing erratically in harmony with him. My breasts brushed against the solid wall of his chest with every heaving breath.
I grinned sheepishly. He continued to claim me with his mouth. I drank in every exhale of his warm breath. My tingling fingers caressed against his tight, rigid muscles. His body firmed up against my hand, sending sizzling tingles through my fingertips.
A lusty moan escaped from my throat. I almost could not recognize my own voice. I could not believe I could sound so slutty and needy.
The hunky beast cupped his warm, big palms on my cheeks and peeled away. My desperate breaths rushed out through my mouth. A thin film of sweat glistened his forehead. I thought he was going to claim me when he said, “I would fuck you over the table right now but I need to run.”
I could not be bothered to hide my disappointment when the beast pulled away from me, leaving an aching void in my heart.
“Wait!” I cried out when urgency catapulted him towards the door. He stopped and turned around. Hungry golden eyes pierced into mine. “I will see you again, right?” Regret filled me when the question came out stupider than it sounded in my head.
A smirk quirked from the corner of his lips. “Maybe.”
I followed the hot stranger’s retreating back with my eyes until he disappeared from my room. He had come and gone like a wind! It was so hard to even believe it was real.
The only evidence of him not being my illusions was the masculine scent he left on around my chest. Could you believe? I gave away my first kiss just like that. I always thought the first time I would kiss a man would be a grand romantic event where he would hold me up and turn in circles and we would kiss under the pouring rain.
But this one…this was even better.
I cupped my own flushing cheeks and turned around to look at myself in the mirror.
I was red as a tomato. Seeing myself in the reflection wearing nothing but skimpy underwear sent a blistering heat through my system. So this was what the hot beast was seeing!
Oh my god! The room would soon smell of pussy if I did not stop thinking about him right now!
“Oh my god, Princess Lilith!” When I turned around, Karyn was at the door, her eyes wide with horror. She rushed into the room and picked up the now crumpled and soiled dress. “What did you do to the dress?”
“I don’t need it anymore.” I shrugged.
“What do you mean?”
“I have met Prince Zaul.” I could not hide the sheepish grin.
“Have you?”
“Yup.”
“And you are wearing this?” Karyn waved the dress, trying to fix it.
“Less than that.”
I winked.

Lilith
Karyn left me in peace. Finally. But Zaul had not. The thought of this bad boy prince suddenly appearing in my room and then claiming my first kiss was so hot. Now I was sitting in my bed in the same underwear, refusing to change out of them or putting anything on.
I wanted to sit here and savored the exciting experience I had. The naughty thought of what would happen if we went on with it and Karyn came in to see him claiming me over the table.
A bolt of excitement shot straight into my core. I squeezed my legs together, my pussy got wetter.
