Mallory Pike

Elara Lysander is an ordinary woman navigating the monotony of adulthood. Her way to unwind from all the stress of bills and work? Reading. And her favorite novel as of late has been The Day of Eternal Light, which has been all the rage lately. When the novel ends in a way she doesn't expect--with her favorite character and the novel's villain, Caspian Isyndor's death at the hands of the king and the female lead--Elara is saddened, to put it lightly. She finds herself haunted by a dream of Caspian, and when she goes to reread the book, she doesn't expect the words to glow. She definitely doesn't expect to open her eyes and find Caspian standing over her. She learns he has summoned her after he became aware he was living in a loop and heard her sympathetic voice among the masses of voices. He believes that with Elara's knowledge of the ending he cannot remember, he can gain what he has always wanted--his brother's head on a pike and the kingdom of Isyndor in his hands where he believes it belongs. Only after she has helped him achieve this will he send her home. As Elara is thrust into this world of magic and intrigue, she discovers Caspian is not the heartless man he presents himself to be. As they tread the uncertain path filled with dark creatures, political intrigue, and the ever-present threat of his brother's wrath, Elara must face the music: will she be able to turn the tide and give him the happy ending he deserves, or is fate a collar that cannot be removed?

Bang! Handless, Mallory fell to the floor, and all of the plates lay scattered across the room. Mrs Wraith heard the tumult, and she stormed into the room angrily. "Stupid girl!" Mrs. Wraith scolded with a hard slap across Mollory's face. With ringing ears and tears burning in her eyes, Mallory took a short breath and tried to keep her voice steady as she pleaded, "I am sorry Mrs. Wraith. I will clean this up immediately," Mallory bowed her head and heard Calvin chuckle from the sofa, sitting with a grin, "Yes, you will. I want the room to be spotless within an hour," Mrs. Wraith demanded, shoved Mallory aside, and stormed out. "Why did you do that?" Asked Mallory with a strained voice and gazed at Calvin after Mrs. Wraith shut the door. Calvin got up and stopped inches away from a frightened Mallory. He styled his hair with too much wax, and his grey eyes were taunting her, making her more fearful of him. "Don't forget your place, slave," Calvin hissed and grabbed Mallory by the neck and pushed her up against the wall next to the window," Or do you want me to come by your room later tonight and punish you?" He whispered in Mallory's ear while she fought to breathe. She shook her head, and Calvin grinned before he freed her again. Mallory falls to the floor, tears streaming down her face.  "Clean yourself up. If my father sees you like this..." Calvin didn't finish the sentence; he didn't have to, and the raised eyebrow said it all before he left the room laughing.

POV story

Mallory was starring at the intimidating figure standing right in front of her. Despite the cold weather and her lack of proper attire she felt hot and breathing was becoming quite the difficult task for her to do. The figure took one more step towards her, his face finally being illuminated by the moon light, he was pissed. His dark hooded eyes swimming with irritation looked at me as he brought one hand to lean on the wall behind me. "The world isn't roses and daisies Mallory" he spit with so much venom I felt my knees tremble. "This isn't a fairytale, this isn't going to turn out to be some happy ever after story where you get to save me." his second hand joined his other one trapping me between the wall and his body. He leaned down so we were face to face. "I chose this path, given the chance to go back and choose again I'll choose the same. I don't need saving, I don't believe in love. Most importantly if forced to choose between you and retaining my title, I'll always choose my title." every word he said felt like a cut to my already bleeding heart he stepped back letting his hands fall to his sides and looked down at me. "So don't expect me to be your prince charming, I'm not interested in fulfilling your childish dreams. My world is black and white, and everything that's white eventually gets tainted with black." he turned towards the door and paused. With one more look towards me he walked out the room and I crumbled to the floor. --------------------

I watched his retracting figure when… “Wait!!“I called out of repulse. He stopped walking and I got that as a cue that I had to walk to him. I began to walk towards him, i finally stood in front of him. “Um…I was thinking…um…will you…have sex…with me?“ I stammered as I tugged my hair behind my ear due to the wind. He stared at me before he looked up, he finally looked at me as his lips pulled lopsidedly. “Sure, I can use a bit of sex in this weather”. He said but I was now regretting my decision but I really needed this. “You'll have to pay me”. I said. “Sure, any amount as long as your good”. He said and I timidly nodded. “Let's get a room shall we”. It wasn't a question more like a statement. I followed him as he walked in front of me.
