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.
She lay curled into herself, shaking violently, as if gripped by the coldest winter. Teeth chattering, twitching with spasms,
red scratches, skin slick with sweat and tears. Soft, incoherent cries spilling from her lips. arms marked with angry
She had retreated into her own mind, completely unaware of her surroundings.
Merilyn’s stomach twisted.
“What is happening to her?” The grand king’s guttural growl came as he paced the room like a caged animal. “I tried to mount her, and it would not…” He ran a restless hand through his damp hair. “And I could not… I hate seeing her like this! Every part of me wants to end her suffering, yet I can’t!”
Merilyn flinched. His rage, frustration, and helplessness filled the room like a brewing storm.
“Why will she not let me in?” His sounded pained, anxious. “Why can I do nothing for her?”
Merilyn moved closer, forcing herself to focus. Sitting beside Emeriel, she examined her closely. “Where is… my Beloved?” Her voice was so weak with clear pain. “Make it stop…”

Merilyn’s beast whined in sympathy for the princess. She had a sense of what might be happening….and it wasn’t good.
“It’s bad,” Lady Merily told the princess’s distraught male. “Very bad.”
The Grand King came to a halt. “What is the matter? What can I do for her?”
Lady Merilyn looked down at the trembling princess. “Princess, can you hear me?”
The faintest whimper was the only response she got.
“She is suffering,” she looked at the grand king. “We must put her to sleep first.”
