Chapter 4
Nesta’s POVThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
I dressed in a sheer white lace ensemble that left little to the imagination. Despite my attempts to cover myself, the maids insisted I remain still, adhering to the King’s mother’s instructions about dressing for the evening.
However, I couldn’t shake off the knowledge that the Alpha King–now known to me as Rowan–reportedly suffered from erectile dysfunction. How was he supposed to consummate our union in such a state?
I reassured myself that nothing would happen, given his condition.
Accompanied by the maids, I was led to his wing, where I found Rowan lying in bed, his expression blank as he gazed at me. My heart raced as I stood before him, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. He didn’t acknowledge me for what felt like an eternity.
Finally, he turned to face me, his demeanor indifferent as he scrutinized me. Despite my slender frame and lack of curves, I could feel his gaze tracing every contour of my body. Tentatively, I approached the bed as he spoke.
It’s clear he could see that I was malnourished with the way some of my bones are protruding from places they shouldn’t. I never cared about how I looked until right now. I yearned to be like those women with curves that men love.
“Come closer,” he commanded, and I obeyed, inching towards him
As the duvet slipped down to his waist, revealing his shirtless torso, I couldn’t help but notice the unexpected presence of well–defined muscles. What had happened to this man, who couldn’t walk yet possessed such strength!
Drawing nearer. I was startled to realize that the maids‘ claims of erectile dysfunction were unfounded. What I saw before me contradicted the rumors, there was no sign of dysfunction. Everything appeared to be FUNCTIONING perfectly.
“Why did you stay?” he asked, his tone sharp and unapologetically husky.
“Because I chose to,” I replied, determined to speak my truth.
“Give me the real answer, little girl. I don’t want cryptic responses.”
“Because I refuse to return to the life I left behind, I confessed, meeting his gaze squarely.
“Come here,” he commanded, his voice softening slightly and I moved to the edge of the bed.
I stood before him, Rowan’s hand extended slowly, almost hesitantly, toward my back. His touch sent shivers down my spine, yet I remained rooted to the spot, unable to resist his magnetic pull.
With a gentle yet firm grasp, he drew me closer, guiding me until I was nestled against his chest. Seeing as I was chest, he started moving his hand in circles around my back and I slowly started to relax

Gentle fingers tilted my head from his chest so I could face him, his eyes roamed over my face before he slowly took my lips in a soft yet fierce kiss that made my toes curl. His lips were lush and soft unlike my chapped ones.
The kiss slowly escalated with him touching my whole body. He didn’t complain. He didn’t say anything about how boney I was. He took everything as it is and seems to like my body just the way I am.
That night, he made love to me until I could barely remember my name. I had never had sex before, always thinking it would be painful from things I had heard, but Rowan made it so beautiful that I couldn’t remember the pain.
He couldn’t sit up or do anything apart from moving me around, but he made my first experience the perfect one. I lay limp beside him while he stroked my hair until I fell asleep.
The next two weeks passed in a blur. Everyone was getting ready for the coronation happening as soon as Rowan’s twin brother, Nolan, returned. I had heard a lot about him from Rowan and couldn’t wait to meet hitn.
Rowan and I have been so close in those weeks. We made love every day, sometimes more than once a night. He said I was someone he didn’t know he needed until he had ine, and he made the maids lie about his erectile situation to keep the girls. away. He was glad I didn’t leave though.
It’s safe to say I had fallen in love with my husband. He had marked me the night before because his mother kept insisting that we shouldn’t wait any longer since we had found each other Both our mates had rejected us after all.
No one needed to tell me I had been glowing and gaining good we
Nolan arrived the next morning, and the palace was in chaos. He was not the nicest of the twin brothers and hated literally everyone but his brother. Everyone feared the mere sound of his name. Rowan was excited that his brother was back after a long time.
I was called to meet him at the library, where both brothers stood sharing whiskey. Since Nolan was deaf, Rowan had to sign things to him to keep their conversation flowing even though there is mind–link.
He taught me a few things to say to Nolan. From behind, they looked exactly the same.
Nolan turned around as soon I entered, making me wonder how he was deaf with such instincts. His brows furrowed, and then I felt it. He also did, with the way his hand stilled on his glass and his expression shuttered.
“Mate!” He growled, paused for a second and launched himself at me.
He started kissing me, touching me without reserve, and before I could get a word out, he marked my neck on the other side where there was no mark. Now I had both sides of my neck marked by two brothers.
I didn’t know what happened or how it happened after that, but Nolan and I found ourselves on the carpeted floor naked and heaving after a round of sex. My eyes widened at the realization of what I had done, only to find Rowan staring at us from the bar in the library.
I tried to stand up, but Nolan dragged me back to his chest, making me frustrated and flustered. I had just cheated on my husband with his brother, who happened to be my second chance mate.
I had a second chance mate!
“Mind if I join?” Rowan asked, allowing his brother to read his lips as he stuck his hands in his pockets.
“No!” Nolan growled, holding me tighter.
“That is my wife in your arms, brother. Nesta”
