Book 3: Chapter 4
A/N: I decided to add the spice next chapter, after much internal debate. They already know each other, but more importantly, it’s been a while since I’ve given the people what they want.
Also, I’d be lying if I said that it isn’t fun.

With the ritual done, we were now headed to Zayde’s tower. He pressed 3-1, letting me see the grand foyer area. It led out to the hallway and royal entrance. The other door, the one in front of us led to a spiral staircase that was spaced in a way that each full rotation led to the next story.
I was nervous. He held my hand gently, taking me up to the next floor. It was a library, and inside held one servant who was dressed in a suit. He seemed to be in a fancier uniform, so I could only assume that he was one of the head staff.
We didn’t have servants in StoneMoon…. Both my parents were from royal houses, but they lived like normal Alpha and Luna. They didn’t have grand castles, nor upkeep and such. But here, the man bowed. His horns were out too, but they were bull’s horns. He looked human if not for those, being pale, with black peppered blonde hair.
“Ah, good evening young master.” He bowed. “I’m Cornwall, Head of Tower 3’s servants.” He said stiffly. Mr. Cornwall was about as built as Zayde, though taller by 2 inches. Some minotaur can get 11 or 12 feet tall, being large, two legged beasts of might. He seemed to be more refined though, bowing politely.
I bowed too.
“Nice to meet you.” I said seeing him smile.
“A pleasure. There’s Wine, Cheeses, and a bit of dinner hot in your room my lord.” He bowed one last time before leaving.
The enchanted stairs reduced one’s weight by half, and gave almost a moon-like bounce, so that you wouldn’t feel tired going up…. I was sure that it could and does get turned off in the event of an emergency…. And by the time you got to floor 30, the elevator circle could take you outside, or to another tower.
Servants swept, having no powers… This was something the Night King did not do… He liked his people to be powerful, and undying if he could help it…..
It made me wonder what they’d done, or how they got that way. I know in Purple Dimond… Theophania angered the Horned One to the point to where he took back his powers from them, but they gained it back when she offered her life as compensation.
“You look worried.” He said as I saw the 10th floor. He had 30 in total.
“How did they lose their powers?” I asked.
“Those who break the law were punished this way. Their powers were returned to the master, because they offended him. Our coven was on the front lines…. Some who couldn’t do what needed to be done were punished this way. Instead of kill them, They live on, in eternal servitude. Though, many others are half-beasts, since we can offer them protection.”
“Wow…” I mumbled. I didn’t see any scars on anyone, but that didn’t mean they were treated well. We care for our own, and they serve… Nobody looked particularly upset or abused, but nobody looked gleefully happy to sweep floors or document books either.
“Don’t worry about them. They may be servants, but there are rules in place for their convenience and protection.” He smiled.
“That’s good to know.” I said looking at floor 18. It was another library, but one for beast magic… The books on this floor looked more worn than the others.
“Floor 19 is the bathhouse.”
“Really?” I said with a grin.
“See for yourself.” He picked me up and jumped. The momentum took us to the next floor….
A horse sized Gargoyle fountain spewed forever hot water into a large circular pool, being cleaned by servants. They worked in pairs, bowing when they saw us.
“The water’s temperature control is the knob there on the floor.” He mentioned. I didn’t say anything, looking around at how large all these rooms were. Each one was about the width of the tower, with room for the spiral tunnel stairs.
The tile here was darker gray than the stone walls, and the pool’s LED lighting was currently set to blue. It made the water a light blue, and the blue sconce light from magic torches allowed the giant windows to show off the moonlit countryside…. As we went higher, I knew in the day, the view would get better….
Each level was filled with books, or documents, but some floors were the exception. Floor 21 was a gaming floor, dedicated to shooting pc games like Apax and Fontnight. I could only assume that regardless of his life, he was enjoying being young…
But I know for an extra computer setup to be up here, and a pink gaming chair, that he’d done that in anticipation of my arrival… about all I played was MoonCraft, well and GuildWarriors.
I know I was…. I was Excited….
His room was on the top floor…
“Whoa, simmer down tiger.” Said Zayde playfully.
“Rawr.” I smiled.
He stopped in his tracks to turn around and look at me briefly….
I think he smelled my arousal… something I was hoping wouldn’t be a problem, but here we are…. I was slightly embarrassed… but he looked like he was trying not to full on laugh at my red face….
“It’s good to know some things don’t change…” He chuckled. “I wanted to show you the tower before we got to the top, but if you keep that up… I’m taking you Straight to the bedroom.” He warned playfully.
“I’m patient as a saint.” I lied.
“Mhmm.” He grinned.
The 28th floor was basically a demi-realm. The garden space was only a little bigger inside the room that it should be, but I could tell by how herbs were just Packed along the walls, that he was an avid gardener. He had a nice fountain of a serpent in the middle, one big enough that could probably be sat in….
The 29th floor was his office.
“Ah, my least favorite floor.” He smiled. “Since I’m dad’s assistant, I deal with the humans.” He said casually. “I deal with invoices, disputes, and more commonly… invoices.” He complained. “Paperwork and going to town is what I do.”
“Really?” I said with a small smile… I tried to contain my excitement… also… we were getting closer to the bedroom.
“Along with helping my brothers. But Andrei’s living it big in Tower 9, being responsible for helping mother with the rituals. He’s a rune master. The spells he can weave are impressive, but I’m a battle mage, so I’m faster.”
“I specialize in demon magic…. But Aptherraam isn’t able to transform yet.” I admitted.
[But I will soon. When you pair with Zayde, I should have my flesh form.] he complained in my pocket. He hadn’t said much of anything, being a sleepy kitty… It made me wonder will his cat form be more of a black panther than a housecat later… like Alteer’s ‘lion’.
He placed me on the floor so I could walk for myself… I know with his beast magic senses… Zayde could hear my heart beat out my chest. I held his hand, ready for anything, knowing that tonight under the full moon, I would be with my future husband…. After all, the moon affects everyone this time of year…
“I wanted to let you meet my family too… but I must also admit that I want you all for myself.” He grinned.
The double doors to his room were dark oak. They had carved winged serpents and peacocks on it. He had to open it for me with a little effort since they were so well aged and thick. I saw his bedroom…. It was Amazing…
The rectangular wood framed bed was custom, and extremely large, with a canopy that held red sheets, and a sheer veil. The curtains were also a deep red, complimenting the dark gray… It was warm here too…The windows gave a 360 view of the entire countryside, while the red furred rug looked to be blood bull leather. One was open to keep the room cool, though I could see why.
There was a fireplace that served as a proper hearth, and baroque furniture matched the bed. Freshly roasted chicken, vegetables, and wine were in front of it, kept perfect with the large magic charger plate underneath it all…. Our bags were in a wardrobe that was left open. It was a walk in closet- aesthetically keeping storage available….
Not a speck of dust… A young man’s room smelled of honeysuckle and the stone floor was polished.
The only thing that stuck out was the Wifi router, but a little wooden lattice box was on the nightstand, so that was probably how he kept it out the way.
“Did you redo your room for me?” I asked with a small smile.
He responded with a kiss. “Yes.” He said huskily.
I returned it, feeling no shame for how soon it was… his clawed hands took off my cardigan, and my bare arms were gripped gently by him. I put my hands-on rock-hard abs, running my hands down them…. Putting my hands under his shirt.
It was as if he knew what made me moan, pulling me close, picking me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and as he kissed me, he walked to the bed. He leaned down, putting me under him while he was leaned over me. I could feel his hips grind against my underwear… and something else grew.
“Am I going to fast?” He asked with concern, but I took his shirt and helped him take it off. He looked surprised, but happily so.
“I want to be claimed by my handsome prince.” I said being kissed on the neck roughly by Zayde. He licked my neck before sucking it, and retracted his claws so he could knead a breast. He pushed me forward with his strength, and I could hear growls and grunts that were clearly almost shifter-ish…
He pulled off his pants, revealing a bulge in his black boxers that couldn’t be missed. I felt it, and he hissed in pleasure while holding a growl… I took off my dress, then my bra. He was on top of me now, grinning as he kissed me roughly.
“I’m going to take my time with this.” He said looking me in the eyes….. He leaned in slowly…Kissing me, holding my face with his right hand, while the left reached lower.
I gasped, he ran his hand under my dress, and I let him remove my panties…
