Stuck in an Island with Twelve Beautiful Women
Chapter 1467

Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467

It looked like Jude - taller, broader, glowing with golden tattoos that moved across his skin. His face bore Jude’s features, but they were exaggerated, divine. His eyes held no whites, only burning gold. And he smiled.

"I am the first," the figure said.

The women instinctively moved closer to Jude, surrounding him.

"Who are you?" Jude asked.

"You," the being replied. "Before you fell. Before you forgot."

"I don’t understand."

"You will."

The being looked at each of the wives and nodded approvingly. "Twelve. As it must be. You’ve done well."

"Is this real?" Emma whispered.

"As real as the blood in your thighs," it said, grinning. "You’ve awakened the seed. Now you must grow it."

Jude stood slowly, heart pounding. "What does that mean?"

"It means," the being said, stepping forward, pressing a burning hand to Jude’s chest, "that you are no longer the island’s guest."

He leaned in, kissed Jude on the forehead, and whispered,

"You are its king."

Then he vanished.

The mirror shattered completely.

The light swallowed them.

And when the world returned -

They were back at the treehouse.

But everything had changed.

The light clung to their skin like a second breath, slow to fade, warm as sunlight and heavy as desire. Jude stood in the center of the platform, barefoot and naked, his chest still marked faintly with the glowing handprint from the being - the first, the mirror of what he might become. Around him, the twelve women stirred slowly, waking as if from a dream woven too deeply into their bones.

Rose moved first, rising to her knees and crawling to him without hesitation. She pressed her lips to the mark on his chest, her breath catching. "You feel different."

"I don’t know what I feel yet," he whispered.

"You feel like the mountain," Grace murmured, brushing her fingers along his back. "Like stone and fire and seed and root."

Sophie stood last, her eyes sharp, uncertain. "Are we supposed to follow you now?"

Jude turned to her. "You never followed anyone before."

"I did once," she said, "and I burned for it."

"But we’re all burning now," Emma said, her voice quiet and strange. "And it doesn’t hurt."

Zoey walked the perimeter of the platform, glancing over the trees. "The island’s different. The trees moved."

Stella nodded. "I hear a new hum. Lower. Steady. Like it’s waiting."

"It’s listening," Natalie added. "We opened something."

Susan’s hand found Jude’s hip, grounding him. "What are we now?"

He looked at her, then at each of them in turn. Twelve faces. Twelve bodies. Twelve hearts tied to his. Not conquered. Not claimed. Chosen. And choosing.

"I don’t know," he said, "but I think we’re not just survivors anymore."

Lucy smiled, stepping close. "Then let’s test what we are."

The wind picked up.

So did the scent - pollen, salt, skin, heat.

The moment hadn’t passed. It had only paused.

And now it resumed.

Jude took Lucy’s hand and pulled her close, kissing her hard. Her lips opened to him like they’d been aching all morning. Their kiss drew gasps from the others, not of shock, but of recognition.

The ritual hadn’t ended.

It was just beginning again.

Rose pressed herself to Jude’s back, kissing his shoulder. Zoey knelt beside them and began trailing her tongue along Lucy’s thigh. Sophie stepped forward, hesitating only a moment before slipping a hand between Jude and Lucy, fingers tracing Lucy’s folds, then his shaft, slick with each breath they took. Emma came next, undressing slowly, deliberately, until the sunlight caught her nipples just right and made them glow.

The others joined like fire drawn to flame.

They moved together, bodies folding, mouths searching, hands and fingers and tongues forming a map made of each other. Jude was devoured by them, surrendered to their need, their desire, their worship. Each wife took her time with him - Rose riding him again as Zoey kissed his chest; Stella sitting on his face while Lucy rode his fingers; Sophie biting his neck while Grace kissed his spine.

He lost track of time. Of rhythm. Of order.

It became one breath, one endless moan, one infinite climax where names didn’t matter and borders didn’t exist.

They screamed for him.

They screamed for each other.

They screamed for the island.

And when they collapsed in a tangle of limbs, breathing hard, trembling in the aftershock, the treehouse shimmered with a faint golden light - its walls pulsing softly like a heart.

Outside, the sky dimmed. Not with sunset, but with clouds gathering far too fast for natural weather. The air changed.

The island wasn’t done.

A sharp cry split the clearing.

Sophie rose to her feet first. "What was that?"

"Not human," Zoey said, already moving to grab her blade, though it lay forgotten among the vines and wraps. "But close."

Jude stood, body still aching with release but mind sharpening. "Something’s coming."

From the trees, a figure emerged.

Not Rose.

Not a wife.

Something new.

A woman.

Alone.

Naked, glistening, skin glowing faintly green like sap.

She looked at them with wild, golden eyes.

And she smiled.

Her smile wasn’t human. It wasn’t cruel, either. It was serene, empty of tension, as if she had never known fear or hunger or shame. Her long hair, tangled and matted with leaves, flowed down her back like vines grown wild. Every step she took forward was soundless. No branches cracked beneath her bare feet. The clearing didn’t resist her - it welcomed her.

The wives stirred, slowly rising around Jude, no longer just lovers, but guardians. Their nakedness didn’t matter; they moved with purpose, not modesty. Lucy stepped in front of him instinctively. Sophie flanked her. Zoey gripped a sharp, jagged branch from the edge of the platform. Only Rose stayed where she was, her eyes wide, not in fear, but something deeper - recognition.

"She’s one of us," Rose whispered.

"She’s not anyone I’ve ever seen," Zoey said coldly.

The stranger stopped at the edge of the clearing, her golden eyes flicking from one face to another.
