From Reader to Ruler: The Forgotten Prince's Rise through Harem-Chapter 14: A Special Awakening and a Heated Moment

Chapter 14: A Special Awakening and a Heated Moment

A strange glow enveloped Leena, her entire body bathed in dim yellow light. Dani took a step back, his heart pounding. In the novel, aura cores formed in shades of purple, while mana cores shone with a bright, ethereal light. But Leena's was... different.

His mother gasped, eyes gleaming with excitement. "Oh my! Dani, your cat has awakened an aura core!"

Dani frowned. "Aura? But... it's not the usual color."

His mother chuckled. "Yes, because she's different. She's not purely human—she's beastkin. Her aura core carries unique properties from both sides of her bloodline. I've never seen anything like it."

Leena sat frozen in disbelief, staring at her glowing hands. She had never expected to awaken a core, let alone a special one. Swallowing hard, she looked at Dani and his mother. "Thank you... I don't know how to—"

Before she could finish, Dani's mother smirked. "Oh, don't thank me. You should be thanking my son." Her gaze flickered between them mischievously. "Maybe one day, I'll see more kids with cores like yours."

Leena's face burned red. She instantly understood the implication, but when she turned to Dani, he still looked clueless.

"Maybe there are others like her out there," Dani mused, completely missing his mother's meaning.

Leena sighed, covering her face in embarrassment. "Idiot..." she muttered under her breath.

Dani turned to his mother. "So now that she's awakened a core, what kind of abilities will she have?"

His mother shrugged. "That's for her to discover in time. Just keep training her, and she'll figure it out." Then, as she turned to leave, she glanced at Dani with a teasing smile. "Take care of your cat. She holds a special place in her heart for you."

Dani chuckled. "I know, Mom. I'll take good care of her."

As his mother left, he turned back to Leena, who sat quietly on the ground, still processing everything.

She looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with emotion. "Dani... I don't know how to thank you for today. I never thought I'd experience something like this in my life. I..." She paused, struggling to find the right words.

Dani knelt beside her and pulled her into his arms. "Oh, my cat, you don't have to say anything." He stroked her hair, feeling her body melt against him. "I just don't want to see you sad anymore."

Leena's ears twitched, her heart racing from his warmth.

Dani smirked. "But if you really want to thank me... how about you do it tonight?"

Leena froze, her face instantly turning scarlet. "W-Wha...?" She swallowed hard, looking away. "If... If you want it, I don't mind..."

Her shy words ignited something deep inside him. His grip tightened. Damn it... She's too cute.

Without another thought, he scooped her up into his arms. "Then I'm not waiting until tonight."

"W-Wait, Dani! It's still morning—!"

He ignored her protests, carrying her straight to the bedroom.

A Heat That Couldn't Wait

As soon as Dani shut the door, he pressed Leena against it, his lips crashing against hers. She let out a muffled squeak, her hands gripping his shoulders tightly.

Her tail flicked wildly behind her, betraying her nervous excitement.

"Dani..." she whispered breathlessly, her voice barely audible.

"Leena." His fingers traced her flushed cheeks before sliding down to her waist. "You're trembling."

She averted her gaze. "I-It's just... I don't know what to do."

Dani chuckled. "Then let me lead."

He lifted her onto the bed, his hands slipping under her clothes. She gasped, clinging to him as he peeled away her top, revealing her soft, pale skin.

Leena shut her eyes tightly. "D-Don't stare too much... It's embarrassing..."

Dani smirked. "But you're so beautiful."

She covered her face, but Dani gently pulled her hands away. "I want to see all of you."

Her ears twitched as she nodded shyly.

Dani ran his hands down her body, feeling her shiver under his touch. He trailed kisses down her neck, her collarbone, then lower, taking his time to appreciate every inch of her.

Leena bit her lip, suppressing a moan. Her body was hot—too hot. She instinctively squeezed her thighs together, trying to control the unfamiliar sensation surging through her.

Dani noticed. He smirked. "You're holding back."

She shook her head quickly. "I-I'm not...!"

"Liar." He pressed his knee between her legs, forcing them apart. Her breath hitched as the pressure sent a jolt of pleasure through her.

Her tail curled around his arm. "Dani... Ah...!"

He leaned in, whispering into her ear. "Let it out, Leena."

Her body trembled, heat pooling between her legs as he touched her in ways she never imagined. The pleasure was overwhelming, but so was her embarrassment.

"Dani... I feel weird..." she whimpered.

He kissed her again, his voice husky. "That's normal."

Leena gasped as he slid his fingers lower, teasing her.

Her body instinctively arched toward him, seeking more. "Nn... Dani...!"

Her wetness coated his fingers as he explored her, feeling how sensitive she was.

Leena's nails dug into his back, her moans growing louder. Dani hushed her with another deep kiss, swallowing her sounds as he continued to pleasure her.

She felt like she was melting—like she was completely at his mercy.

"Leena," he murmured, positioning himself between her legs. "Are you ready?"

She looked into his eyes, her body trembling. "I... I love you, Dani. S-So..."

Dani kissed her deeply. Then, with slow, deliberate movements, he entered her.

She let out a soft cry, her body tightening around him. "Ah...!"

Dani froze, letting her adjust. He kissed her forehead gently. "Are you okay?"

Leena nodded shakily, her cheeks burning. "Y-Yeah... It just feels... different..."

He stroked her cheek. "Tell me if it hurts."

She smiled faintly. "I-It's okay. I want this..."

Dani started moving, slowly at first, but as Leena grew more comfortable, her moans became more desperate.

Her legs wrapped around him, pulling him deeper. "Dani... ah... it feels... so good..."

He groaned, quickening his pace. "Leena... you're amazing..."

Their bodies moved together, heat rising between them.

Leena's arms tightened around him, her breath hitching. "I-I think... I'm close...!"

Dani gritted his teeth. "Me too..."

Her body tensed, and then, with a final moan, she reached her peak, her entire body shuddering beneath him.

Dani followed soon after, releasing inside her as he held her close.

They stayed entangled, panting, their bodies still trembling from the intensity.

Leena buried her face in his chest, whispering, "Dani... I love you..."

He kissed her forehead. "I love you too, my cat."

As exhaustion took over, they held each other, feeling the warmth of their love.
