The palace gate swung open, revealing a magnificent view of the castle in all its grandeur. As the driver drove into the castle, I took in my view, starting with the front garden which took away my attention in a bit. It is beautifully manicured with touches of flowers, grass, and an elegant waterfall. I glance at the formidable guards stationed in front of the castle, their intense gaze sending a chill down my spine as if they were fixated on me. I quickly avert my eyes and marvel at the castle's majestic presence. Its towering spires seem to touch the sky, while the luminous grand windows emit a mesmerizing sparkle in the warm sunlight. The sight is truly enchanting and fills me with awe and wonder.The driver packed the car in front of the castle and the guards walked up to open the door for Jacob and me. Jacob walks alongside me, his hand resting on my small back, as we emerge towards the palace entrance."Remember, I am Austin so don’t make the mistake of addressing me as Jacob
"Oh, now I see what's going on here." Lycan Joseph statedJacob’s eyes met mine and I could see the tension in them. This is going to be bad; really bad."What do you mean?" Jacob asks, his voice trembling slightly as he stands rooted to the ground. I can see the struggle in his eyes as he desperately tries to maintain his composure, holding onto every ounce of strength within."You know exactly what I mean, Lycan Austin." Wait, did he seriously just refer to him as Lycan Austin? I think Lycan Joseph is completely clueless about what's going on. It feels like he is just messing with our heads, though I don’t seem to wrap my brain around why he would want to do that. There must be a reason why. "There is something going on with you," Fiona exclaims, her eyes narrowing as she carefully observes Jacob. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's definitely been a change in your aura. It's like a whole different energy. I can see it and feel it.""Nothing changed. I am who I have al
After our delightful lunch, Jacob and Alpha Joseph stole away for a private conversation while Fiona, and I found ourselves in the serene ambiance of the living room. "You have beautiful skin," Fiona says trailing her finger on my arm. I slightly wave her hand off me and with a smile, I say "Thank you.""And your face…" She then slightly touches my jaw "Did you get Botox?""Do I did not?" I respond With a nod, she inquires "What about fillers?" "Not that either," I reply "Oh well, then I am guessing you got plastic surgery.""No, I didn’t, I’m all natural," I respond. Why the hell is she asking me such questions? I mean does she even know who I am aside from the fact that she knows I’m married to Lycan Austin… because if she did, she would have known that I am very poor, I can’t even afford my sister’s medicine talk less of a plastic surgery."Really? Well, I am not natural, I got surgeries and not to mention that I got a boob job." She admits confidently "Really?" I inquire. I
We walked into the guest room and It was like stepping into the pages of a storybook, absolutely breathtaking. It emanates a majestic aura and its lavish furnishings and intricate details. The grand chandeliers overhead bathed the room in a soft, golden glow, adding an extra touch of elegance. The master bed is adorned with plush pillows and regal fabrics. Every corner of the room was carefully curated, exuding an undeniable sense of elegance and refinement. "If you need anything please let me know." The servant says before he walks out of the room. I steal a quick glance at Jacob, hoping to gauge his reaction, but his expression remains completely neutral. As the realization sets in that it is just the two of us now, a slight unease creeps into me. This is not going to be weird at all, will it?As I stepped into the room, Jacob closed the door behind us, and I headed to the bathroom to freshen up. Splashing water on my face, my gaze caught my reflection in the mirror and I release
With a smile on his face, he responds, "You." A twinkle appears in his eyes as he continues to speak "You know, I told you that I met someone special? Well, that special person is you.""Wait, are you serious?" I ask with a smile on my face; my voice filled with a tinge of shock and excitement."What?" Jacob responds, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. It's almost as if he is in disbelief and doesn't even realize what he said. The look on his face tells me that he is clueless about the impact of his words."You said I'm your special person?" I respond, a big smile spreading across my face. It's hard to believe that I hold such a special place in someone’s heart that is not Layla or anyone I’m related to. This truly means the world to me. "I said that?" He asks, his expression filled with disbelief and surprise.I nod enthusiastically, unable to contain my excitement. "Yes, you did! Just now!" I affirm."No way!" He denies it, shaking his head vigorously, clearly not remembering w
~ AUSTIN’S POVThe gentle rays of sunlight filter through the curtains, coaxing me out of my slumber. I slowly stretch my arms, sit up, and let out a satisfying yawn, feeling the sleepiness slowly fade away.I feel really good today. I feel like this day is going to go well because I feel amazing, so relaxed, and healthy. It's just such a great feeling to be in sync with my body especially after what I have been through. I suffered a great deal, but I am so thankful that the doctor put in the effort to help me feel truly relieved, even though I am aware it won't last for long.I need more than just medicines to feel better, I need my wolf to be fine because I know this treatment is not a permanent cure. It is just something I will temporarily feel relaxed about and in a few days of reality, I will go back into the dark world of pain and suffering. I don't know how things will unfold, but I am determined to put forth my utmost effort to make it succeed. I refuse to let myself endure t
I woke up to the ray of sunlight, flashing through my window and directly on my face, I turned around groaning and slightly opening my eyes, I was undoubtedly in the most comfortable bed I'd ever been in sleeping. I laid on my back while Jacob was wrapped around me. His arm slung across my stomach and his head was above mine as he faced towards me.Our legs were tangled together mixed in with the thin grey top sheet. I smiled to myself as I looked over to see Jacob sleeping peacefully, softly snoring; he is so cute. I lifted my hand to move some hair the had fallen onto his face. He stirred slightly, snuggling closer into me while tightening his grip. Jacob liked to snuggle while he sleep and I find it very adorable. Last night was undoubtedly one of the best nights of my life not because Jacob and I kissed but because we both had the chance to truly connect and share your heartfelt moments and emotions. It's incredible how those intimate moments can leave such a lasting impact.Last
Jacob and I are on our way home and I am nervous as fuck! I do not feel like going back home, as a matter of fact, I rather stay back and never go back. I do not think I have to explain why I don’t want to go back - we all know how Austin can be and from how he just disappeared at the party, I am guaranteed that something is up with him and not only that, I feel like he is going to be even more dangerous than he already is.I just don’t know why but I sense it. Things are going to be bad for me and Austin…. He will be the reason why. It’s strange, I know but that is just how I feel. I have been going crazy thinking and I just can’t help but wonder what it would be like if Austin finds out about me and Jacob. Will get hit me? Will he and Jacob fight? What the hell will he do? Jacob and I may not be officially committed, but we do have strong feelings for each other. So when Austin learns about our connection, it's definitely going to be a big deal. He would freak out about it and cr
