Roxana looked at the medicine box in Alexander's hands. Why was he treating her so well was still a mystery and sometimes she wondered why he looked at her like that. In a way that made her heart flutter. A way that made her feel like a woman. And not just any woman, a desirable one. She must be mistaken since she was a man right now. Suddenly he stood up from his seat and slowly walked around the table to her side. She thought that he would only give her the box when he suddenly sat in the chair nearby…-

At first, Skender was frustrated that he had to have lunch with her and now he was frustrated that he had to wait for her. He was becoming irrational and it was a trait he recognized when a woman was involved. The way he had been irrational with Ramona and got his heart broken, he was again serving himself for pain and misery. He didn't have to see to know that she was now close by. The scent of fresh soap, salt, and ocean reached his nostrils. And then she appeared in front of him. Changed into new…

Roxana looked ahead at the castle. What was she doing still not having found an item to steal. She was letting herself get distracted and lose focus of her goal. That sinfully beautiful King was making her have sinister thoughts that somehow kept her awake at night. Desires they say? She couldn't afford desire. Straightening herself she went inside. Today she would have to do something about her bullies or perhaps Sir Fulker himself. Or maybe she could use Lord Quintus. Whatever she needed to do, she…

Angelica was sitting outside watching her students play in the garden. She was dealing with a little back pain and felt a bit scared now that she was on her last month and she could be giving birth anytime soon. She tried to console herself by looking at her students and imagining her child running around and playing. Everything would be alright at last. As she enjoyed the spring sun, a golden-haired woman caught her attention. She wore an old white dress and walked along the fence before opening the…

"Waste of time! Waste of money!" Roxana spoke out loud as she got dressed for another night shift. Why did she let herself get robbed? She knew those fortune-tellers were expensive, If they weren't then they were usually the false ones. So if she was the real one… No! She would live a life of comfort with endless resources to wealth without leaving the kingdom where she was known as a thief? She scoffed. Right. Roxana decided that she would focus on finding the right item and once she stole it,…

Roxana was on her way home afraid that her body would give in to sleep before she reached the ship. She should have taken more than a nap before going for her nightshift. Now in the early morning, all she could think of was the mattress that awaited her at home. When she reached the dock, uncle Benedict was already preparing his tools to fish. "Uncle Ben!" she waved at him. "Good morning." He turned around. "Good morning, Rox. Where are you coming from?" "I took the job as you told me." She…

Roxana was feeling happy as she went back home. Seeing wealthy people who were kind, gave her hope. She knew of course that not all wealthy people were bad, but she had just not seen many of them. First, it started with Alexander, the king himself giving her his button and feeding her, and then Angelica. Her thoughts drifted back to Alexander. He fed her and then again for some odd reason, his mood had changed fast and he told her to leave. Just like the first time she met him as Rox. He was a strange…

Roxana was sleeping when she suddenly felt her blanket slowly slide down her body, leaving her bare in her chemise. Cold air rushed over her skin before she felt a shadow bring some warmth back. She turned on her back and opened her eyes. The shadow of a man loomed over and as he leaned closer she saw those sapphire jewellike eyes. "Alexander." "Roxana," he whispered her name bringing his fingers to caress her cheek. Roxana shivered as they moved over her lips and then down to her neck and chest. And…

Lazarus was having wine in one of the castle's many parlors with Acheron, Blayze, and William. "I saw Roxana. His Majesty didn't send her home after all." He said. Acheron smiled to himself. "You think he likes her," Blayze spoke. "Something like that," Lazarus replied. Blayze smirked. "Then he finally has a weakness." Lazarus shook his head. "Don't ever touch a demon's woman. You know it won't end well." Blayze shrugged. "I won't touch her. Maybe just take a look." These two,…

Skender usually blocked people's thoughts unless something made him listen on purpose. But with Roxana, he didn't know what to do. He would be a fool not to listen but he also didn't want her voice in his head. Especially when she uttered his name. No one called him Alexander. It was either Skender or his royal title. People only said King Alexander when they spoke about him, but even that was rare. To hear his other name in her mind and with her foregoing accent made it sound like something sweetly…
