336. MAGICAL HERITAGE
KATHERINE"It was about an hour ago. The Duke carried you in his arms. Imagine my shock—I was scared, thinking you were hurt or something. What exactly happened?" she questioned me, looking worried."Wait, first tell me about the child. Is she okay? Did anything happen to her while I was gone? The butler…?""No, no. Lavinia is fine. She’s practicing with her piano teacher in the library. She’s been quite well-behaved—she’s not even asking about that awful governess anymore," Nana reassured me, and I let out a sigh of relief.I threw off the covers and let my bare feet dangle off the bed.It seemed Nana had removed my old, ragged clothes because now I was in pajamas."Well… where should I start?" I sighed and began telling her about the little adventure the Duke and I had just been through."Hmm, the Duke is a tough bone to crack. You almost had him, but he rejected you at the last moment. Looks like he favors you a little more, but that’s not enough," she said with a disappointed grim
337. THE DUKE'S SUSPICIONS
KATHERINE"I gathered all the herbs listed here, ground them into powder—that part was easy. The hard part is enchanting it. Only a witch can do that by reading this incantation.""Nana, my magic never works when I want it to. Do you think it’ll show up this time?"This whole plan was giving me a headache—holes everywhere."If the Duke finds out…""Your mother always said magic has to be felt with the heart. That’s something I can’t help you with, child. You’ll have to find the way on your own," she said, standing up and patting my hands."Memorize everything well and keep that book safe—it’s yours now. And, Kath, time is running out," she warned me before leaving, her steps soft as she closed the door securely behind her.I bit my nail, my mind a storm of indecision. I was playing with fire—but I had no other choice.I opened the damn witchcraft manual and started studying the words to put the Duke to sleep.Later, I’d come up with something about how I got pregnant—maybe blame it on
338. I AM INNOCENT
ELLIOT"Mercy, please! Mr. Vittorio… it’s… it’s the Duke! PLEASE, HAVE MERCY, YOUR GRACE!"One of the prisoners started screaming desperately as we passed, his voice carrying through the small iron-barred window on the heavy steel door.His cries triggered a chain reaction—a chorus of pleading voices. And yet, down here, there were barely ten prisoners left waiting for death."SHUT UP, YOU DAMN DOGS, OR I’LL KILL YOU ALL RIGHT NOW!" Vittorio bellowed, enraged.The sound of muffled sobs filled the air. I simply kept walking toward the door at the end of the corridor. The snap of a whip greeted me the moment Vittorio unlocked and pushed open the door.I stepped inside, my eyes adjusting instantly to the dim candlelight flickering against the stone walls.Strapped to a wooden X-shaped frame was the man who had once been my most trusted aide. His head hung low, his clothes reduced to shreds, barely clinging to his battered body. Open wounds bled freely across his skin.I hadn’t even seen
339. A CHANCE TO LOVE
KATHERINEI took a long, hot bath after nearly frying my brain trying to memorize that strange spell. I repeated the words over and over in my mind.They felt odd, yet at the same time, they awakened something deep and alive in my chest. I feared it and, at the same time, craved it.When I stepped out of the bathroom, I was surprised to find two maids waiting for me with a change of clothes."What are you doing here?" I asked, tightening my robe and swiftly but discreetly walking toward the vanity."Mrs. Prescott sent us to assist you with all your needs, Your Ladyship," one of them replied with an outwardly respectful tone behind me.My fingers went to the round wooden knob, and I pulled the small drawer of the vanity outward, making sure it was still locked.Cold sweat ran down my back at the mere thought of someone discovering the little notebook I had hidden there for a moment.I needed to be more careful."I don’t want attendants. You may leave and never enter my room again witho
340. A SEDUCTIVE WITCH IN MY CASTLE
KATHERINEI squeeze it in my hand, feeling a tingling sensation, my mind sharper; the words pour out like an uncontrollable river.I close my eyes and focus on them. In the darkness of my mind, a small spark ignites, rare golden flashes. I try to take control of them.They're moving! They dance in my consciousness like playful children made of light.A crazy idea crosses my mind—I try to guide that primordial magic, letting it flow from my neck to my heart and then through the veins stretching down my right arm to my hand, where I clutch the powders.I'm doing it!Sweat beads on my forehead, my breathing turns heavy; it's harder than I imagined, but I persevere…"Zyrelin talyra anithor… Zyrelin talyra anithor…" I repeat the incantation in my mind over and over.I clench my teeth, my vision blurs, a wave of dizziness crashes into my senses, and my temples throb…Damn it! Come on, work, work!"Zyrelin talyra anithor… Zyrelin talyra anithor… anithor, anithor!"—Ah, sshhh! —I let out a mu
341. BEWITCHING A DUKE
ELLIOTI clenched my teeth, trying to steady my breathing.Damn it, I didn’t know if I could resist this temptation—her hot mouth sucking me, licking me, giving me such a delicious blowjob that I was right at the edge.I fought against the wild urge to thrust my hips up and fuck her throat.Her shameless, wet pussy rocked over my chest, soaking the short hairs.My nose… fuck, my sensitive nose inhaled the intense scent of her lust, her desire, listening to the erotic sounds of her mouth sucking my hard, trembling cock, her muffled moans.This woman was sweet torture, and it was taking half my life to hold back, but at the same time, this dark and lascivious game was driving me insane.How far did she plan to take this?I didn’t even stop to analyze the incredible discovery I had just made, and precisely because of that, I pretended.I want to uncover all her secrets now that she thinks she has me in her hands. I subtly clenched my fists against the sheets.The growls threatened to esc
342. I WANT YOU IN MY FUTURE
ELLIOTThe hoarse scream that escaped from her slightly parted red lips, her lashes fluttering as she tilted her head back in pure ecstasy.The liquid spilling, drenching my cock, and the tight, hot, delicious massage around my shaft made it clear—my Duchess had reached her peak.I didn’t take long to follow her.“Nmmm…” I shut my eyes, furrowing my brows.A muffled moan slipped from my throat; I barely managed to suppress it as my balls tightened violently, releasing thickly inside my woman’s depths.Mine. Because she had given herself to me. Because I wasn’t going to let her go. Because this female satisfied me and filled my soul in a way I had never experienced before.Something warm spilled from inside her, at the very point where our bodies were joined, soothing my inner beast, taming my murderous instincts, leaving only deep, consuming feelings toward her.The need to keep her by my side—forever. To dominate her and, at the same time, give her everything.I heard her gasping; we
343. MY PACK
KATHERINEI stretched lazily in bed. My thighs protested a little, and my still-drowsy mind recalled the reason for the discomfort.I could still feel the delicious tingling from those vigorous thrusts.Of course, my legs ached—I had ridden the Duke like a cowgirl on a mechanical bull, and what a bull I had gotten.I smiled a little, staring at the ceiling above me.I really was shameless.Still, I had to make sure I had the opportunity to seduce Elliot properly because he wasn’t a fool. And if I ended up pregnant "out of thin air," he might think I had cheated on him with someone else.When I sat up on the mattress, I suddenly felt a sharp pang in my chest.I placed my hand over my heart, which was pounding furiously.Something had changed.I felt stronger, somehow… more powerful… I don’t know… It was the sensation of that magical energy coursing through my veins.Was this because I had cast my first spell? That had to be it… or maybe it was because I had made love to Elliot?I wasn’
