Chapter 32: Ch 32. Damn, Is This a Dream?!
Stoner made sure all the windows in his room were tightly shut because the moon was nearing full tonight. He briefly went over the tasks he needed to handle regarding the report on his group, then let out a soft sigh as it was already quite late by the time he finished everything.
"Get some rest, Your Majesty. I’ll take care of the full moon celebration tomorrow night; you don’t need to worry about it. Just focus on staying away from whatever the Queen has forbidden," said Derk as he organized the reports.
Stoner nodded slowly, walked over to the bed, and lay down there calmly. However, he was secretly thinking about Selena and the touch he’d just placed on the back of her hand.
Damn, the sensation of his rising desire was still there. Stoner felt his heart beating slowly at first, then faster and faster, and closed his eyes as he found himself craving the body of the woman who was his wife.
As a Wolf King, passion was the primary need he had to satisfy—passion for the woman destined for him; sex was a daily necessity for them. It was that very need that was currently raging within Stoner, but he realized there was no way Selena would be willing to satisfy him in bed right now.
"If only I hadn’t been so careless—whenever I needed her, she would always come. But regret always comes too late," Stoner muttered, then closed his eyes.
Since no light at all was coming into his room from outside, Stoner grew more restless but held it in as best he could. He mustn’t be exposed to moonlight, or his memories would fade even further—and he didn’t want his mother’s face to disappear from his mind.
This was the only way he could accomplish what he set out to do. Only by keeping his mother’s memory alive could he save that woman someday.
Tossing and turning restlessly, changing sleeping positions several times, Stoner tried to calm down, but for some reason, it was incredibly difficult. Something felt off and uncomfortable, which was also what made him open his eyes again and snort softly.
"Damn it, you insolent curse! Why are you making me so restless for no reason!" he cursed irritably before sitting up.
Stoner poured himself some water, drank it in the hope of calming down, and then began pacing back and forth in his room. His body felt extremely uncomfortable, but he didn’t understand what was actually happening. Was it his lingering passion, or the restlessness caused by this Curse?
Stoner didn’t understand and was at a loss as to how to deal with it.
"My head doesn’t hurt from that curse anymore, but now it hurts because I can’t sleep! Damn it," he grumbled, looking up and continuing to pace back and forth.
But just as he was trying to harness the effects of his pacing—hoping it would make him tired enough to fall asleep—Selena’s face flashed before his eyes again, and it left Stoner transfixed.
Her beautiful face, with an expression that had grown colder and more resolute than before, somehow drew Stoner in. Not to mention that in his imagination, Selena’s face seemed flushed, as if she were deliberately teasing him.
"Damn it... Get out of my head! You’re making this desire torment me even more!" he hissed, his face contorted with frustration.
However, the image faded—only to reappear again. This time, the temptation felt even stronger, accompanied by an irrational arousal. Stoner tried to divert his thoughts, striving to remain unaffected, but his defenses crumbled the moment he saw the door open and Selena step into his room.
"Selena..." Stoner whispered, staring at her in disbelief. "What brought you here? Has my memory loss accelerated?"
Selena simply smiled, closed the door from the inside, and walked toward Stoner, who stood frozen, staring at her. The evening gown Selena was wearing looked incredibly alluring—it clung slightly tightly to her body and was cut low, accentuating her sexy figure.
"Can’t sleep, Wolf King?" Selena asked softly, standing right in front of him as she arrived. "Would you like me to help you relax?"
Stoner swallowed hard; without meaning to, his nose caught the soft, intoxicating scent emanating from Selena’s body right in front of him. It teased the wild animalistic desire he’d been hiding since they were in the room earlier, causing Stoner’s eyes to darken and grow passionate as he gazed at Selena’s cleavage peeking out from her dress.
Selena smiled, pulling Stoner close until their bodies pressed against each other. Stoner could feel Selena’s firm breasts against his chest. Back when they had demanded Selena’s execution, Stoner had often taken pleasure in this woman and slept with her roughly.
But now, for some reason, just Selena’s gaze and touch alone were enough to make him lose his senses. Especially when Selena’s hand brushed against his cheek, caressing it with a gentle yet provocative motion.
"Queen..." Stoner hissed hoarsely; he could no longer hold back the desire in his voice, knowing it was futile.
He was indeed consumed by desire right now!
"You’re aroused, Wolf King," Selena whispered, making Stoner swallow hard.
"I don’t know why I’m feeling this way either. It all started when I touched your hand this afternoon," Stoner replied, then looked down at Selena, who was already smiling. "Queen... Do you still hate me? Because I feel like I can’t hold this in anymore..."
"Who told you to hold it in? I’m here—take it out on me."
Hearing that, Stoner felt as though he’d just discovered the most beautiful words in the world. He kissed Selena fiercely, devouring her lips with passion and pulling her into his embrace until there were no boundaries left.
The burning sensation in his body grew more intense, but this time it felt lighter—even though his passion was ready to explode today because Selena had actually surrendered herself to him.
Unable to freely touch her body while she was standing, Stoner picked her up and carried her to the bed. There, he kissed Selena again, caressing her breasts and body with all his passion, savoring the moans and sighs escaping from Selena’s sweet lips.
"Ohh, Wolf King..."
"Call me by my name, Selena..."
"Stoner... Ahh, yes, right there..."
Stoner grew even more aroused upon hearing that, so much so that his tongue continued to lick Selena’s sensitive areas as she lay helpless beneath him. His grip also grew tighter, causing Selena to moan with pleasure.
"Selena... You’re so beautiful..."
Stoner, having lost all sense of reason, tore off all their remaining clothes, including the nightgown Selena was wearing. Without waiting a moment, he impatiently spread her legs and thrust his hard, swollen manhood between them.
"Aahhh... Stoner... It feels like it’s splitting me open..."
Stoner kissed Selena’s lips, calming her while making other gentle touches, since Selena wasn’t used to this yet.
"Calm down... It’ll feel good afterward..."

Selena jolted awake when the interrogation report notes fell to the floor after being accidentally knocked by her arm. She let out a sigh of relief, as she’d been quite startled by the sound of them falling.
"Ahh, I must have dozed off," Selena muttered, then massaged her neck, which felt a little stiff.
But Selena remembered that just a moment ago she had been talking with the two Beast Kings, Vylen and Jhon. She had just sent them away, but it turned out she had fallen asleep and had only just woken up now.
"Your Majesty, you’re finally awake."
Selena turned her head, looking at Vee, who had just entered carrying a fresh blanket.
"Did I fall asleep?" Even though she already knew the answer, Selena still wanted to hear what her new servant would say.
"Yes, you fell asleep. I tried to wake you earlier, but you didn’t respond at all. I thought something might be wrong and was just about to call one of the doctors, but when I came back—since I’d left my ID card behind—it turned out you’d already woken up," Vee said, causing Selena to let out a heavy sigh.
She got up from her seat, massaging her head as she walked toward the bed. "I’m going to sleep. Wake me up earlier tomorrow so I can go with John and Vylen. I really need to find out who Briella is—maybe she’s involved in some other problem," Selena said before lying down on the bed.
Vee nodded obediently, tucking the blanket around her securely. "Get some rest, Your Highness. Tomorrow will be another long day, and you’ve already had a tiring day today," she said, prompting Selena to nod and close her eyes.
Vee made sure Selena was fast asleep before moving to the folding bed she had set up earlier. Kav and Kev were standing guard out front, making sure no one could enter Selena’s area.
Vee herself woke up occasionally to check on Selena, making sure her mistress was safe, and she kept doing so until morning.

Stoner slowly opened his eyes, then furrowed his brow as he recalled his dream from the night before. He looked down at the clothes he was still wearing—they were still intact. Selena wasn’t beside him in bed; he was all alone.
"Damn it! Was that just a dream?!"
