Theodore looked at me when Scarlett asked him to cook for her as well. Normally, I wouldn't have minded but something about her made me feel uneasy. I closed my eyes, and nodded my head softly. I shouldn't let her affect me. "Sure." Theodore whispered, tying the apron around his waist before he started washing the vegetables, and removed meat from the fridge. "So, what are you cooking?" Scarlett asked Theodore, walking beside him, taking the knife from his hand, her hands brushing his forearm. My eyes narrowed slightly when she inched close to him, smiling sweetly at him as she started chopping the vegetables. Clenching my jaw tightly I looked away from them, taking a deep breath. "Can you shift a little, Scarlett?" Theodore asked her politely, but his voice was low, dangerous to my ears. My eyes snapped towards them. Theodore looked uncomfortable. His fingers were clenched in a fist, and his muscles were tense. He looked angry. "Actually, Scarlett, why don't you sit down and wai
"I am sorry. I dropped the plates by mistake." Scarlett gritted through her teeth, looking at me. For the first time since we met, I saw anger in her eyes. Her eyes were flaming, she had a sinister look in her eyes. The way her eyes narrowed in anger, and her fingers clenched in a fist, anyone could tell how furious she looked. My belly painfully twisted when her gaze stayed on me for long. "Are you okay, Scarlett? You look in pain." Theodore held my hand in concern, and I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath, shaking my head as I forced out a smile. "I am fine. Your child is mischievous and really terrorial. Just like its father and mother. Doesn't appreciate anyone's gaze on me." I said, speaking the last part out loud, looking briefly at Scarlett, who immediately lowered her gaze. She dropped the plates when she saw Theodore kissing me. She was glaring at me since Theodore wrapped his arms around me. She had been shooting daggers at me since then. "Scarlett, leave the plates.
Serenity Knight The palace reeked of money and power and the creatures as I quickly made my way down the hall, clutching my purse closer to me. My heart was thumping loudly inside my chest. No, I wasn’t scared of the creatures as much as I was scared of my Uncle.It has been more than four hundred years since the supernatural creatures overthrew the government and took control. It’s been more than four hundred years since Alpha Theodore Black started ruling the human world. “Serenity, you’re still here!? I thought you would know by now that humans are not allowed inside the royal ball. They might punish you for the contempt.” Miss Lydia, one of the warriors said looking at me with her wide eyes. I clenched my eyes shut, praying to God before turning around to look at her apologetically. “Madame Lydia, greetings! One of the staff members got hurt while cooking in the kitchen, and she was bleeding too much for me to ignore her wounds. I am sorry for breaking the law, your highness. I
“I reject you as my mate.” Alpha King repeated, his gray eyes turning black, in rage and anger. His harsh words kept echoing in my ears. I barely knew him. I met him a day ago. All we know about each other is our names and how our bodies look. Shame crawled up my body, seeping inside my chest as I looked down at my naked self. We mated last night. He…. his wolf made love to me. We got intimate last night. He kissed my scars. He told me how he had waited for me for years. For what? To treat me like trash?“You had sex with me last night, Alpha King Theodore Black! If you had to reject me, you should have controlled your horny wolf last night! Who the fuck gave you the right to play with me and my emotions like I am some sort of toy for you?” I asked him, angry tears rolling down my eyes as I glared at my mate, who silently stared at me. “Are you not? A toy? You gave in to the temptation pretty easily last night, human. And a mighty King like me deserves a strong Queen and not a weakl
Serenity Knight“Serenity is pregnant?” I heard Theodore ask the pack doctor, who nodded his head. He was staring at me with sympathizing eyes. “Yes, Sire. Miss Knight is pregnant. And it’s not normal for a human being to bear a werewolf’s child, that too a King. She is pregnant with royal blood, your highness. She needs special care.” The pack doctor continued, and my eyes burned with angry tears and rage. My eyes narrowed in a glare as I stared at Alpha King, who was too shocked to react. His gray eyes were changing colors. The golden flecks in them were getting consumed by the darkness, but other than that, he was not speaking a single thing. “I don’t want this child, doctor,” I said, and Theodore’s eyes widened before they narrowed dangerously in a glare as he stared at me in disbelief. His gray eyes turned dark. Something malicious swirled in his dark gaze as he bent down, leaning closer to me. “You’re talking about our child, Serenity. You can’t speak about aborting him.” Th
Serenity Knight I wanted to abort the baby. But somewhere I knew I didn’t mean my words. I could never harm my child, the innocent child who was not even at fault. But I wanted Alpha King Theodore Black to realize what he did to me, how he broke me, and how I can’t trust him with my child. But what Jillian told me, it made me stop on my feet. I turned around to glare at the witch, who was standing there, cool and unfazed, barely concerned about anything other than her Sire. “We are not sure what the fates have decided for her yet but all I can say is don’t let her stay away from you, your highness. She is carrying your heir.” Jillian spoke before bowing down and leaving his room, stunning me into silence. “Miss Knight, please lie down. I need to run some tests on you.” Doctor Paul said to me, smiling in pity and I clenched my jaw and obliged. It was not like I had any other option. After taking my blood for the blood tests and many other tests, Doctor Paul took his leave, leaving
“I am not hiding anything, your highness. And even if I was, it’s none of your concern. I can take care of myself and my fears.” I said, trying to remove his fingers from my jaw. Theodore’s eyes darkened visibly but this time his anger wasn’t directed towards me. “You can take care of yourself?” He asked me dangerously, leaning closer to me, making my eyes widen. “Ye..yes.” I stammered out, and he smirked, gripping the edge of the bed as he rolled himself so that his face was directly in front of my face, barely inches apart. His upper body was hovering over mine, making me gasp. His left hand caressed the back of my face as he gripped my neck, gently but firmly. His touch ignited sparks inside me, my skin burned sensually as his fingers touched my body, igniting my soul to fire. “You said you can take care of your fears as well, no?” He asked me lowly, dipping his face down, his lips moving against my neck, sending shivers down my spine. My fingers were fisting the bedsheet. M
After taking a long shower and washing, I walked out of the bathroom, dressed in a red dress that was reaching just below my knees. I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes had a different glow. My long hair was brushed elegantly. With a broad smile, I walked out of Theodore’s room and walked downstairs, to where his kitchen was. Perks of working in the royal infirmary. The royal dining room stilled as soon as I walked down the stairs. Everyone knew who I was. After all, they were creatures with supernatural hearing powers. But none of them dared to utter a single word. None of them dared to let the other person know that they knew their Alpha King was mated to a human being. Theodore stopped eating his breakfast. His gray eyes snapped towards me and his eyes widened for a moment. His eyes drank in my presence, gazing at me from my feet to my face, taking his time to check me out. With a sweet smile, I waved at him and walked near them. Several seats were empty around Theodore. His
"I am sorry. I dropped the plates by mistake." Scarlett gritted through her teeth, looking at me. For the first time since we met, I saw anger in her eyes. Her eyes were flaming, she had a sinister look in her eyes. The way her eyes narrowed in anger, and her fingers clenched in a fist, anyone could tell how furious she looked.

Doctor Paul's silence was enough to give me a heart attack. My heart was pounding anxiously inside my chest, my palms were sweaty and cold. Was my child fine? The mere thought of something happening to my baby made tears burn my eyes. "Luna is fine, Sire. And as far as I examined, our heir is also fine. He is growing rapidly inside. We, wolves have a gestation period of two months. But she is a human being carrying Alpha King's heir. Things will be different with her. We never saw a case like her before, Sure. We never saw a human being giving birth to a werewolf's child. That too royalty." Doctor Paul said, and I let out a breath of relief. "But I am still not sure why Luna feels sudden pain whenever she senses something is wrong. We need to call the witches, Sure. We need to know more about the procephy." Doctor Paul concluded, closing the button of his coat, and Theodore's eyes narrowed slightly. "I don't trust the witches, Paul." Theodore's dark voice made me shiver. His finger
My mood was sour when Theodore dismissed my concern. For him, Scarlett was his friend, someone who always helped him when he was struggling with the curse. I can't really blame him for trusting his friend. And I had no idea how to explain to him what I was feeling. "Why do you look so angry? You look like a tomato, you see, Serenity. Red. Angry. Hot. Delicious. Maybe I can take a bite of you and know what is making you so angry?" Theodore said, walking out of the bathroom, towel draped around his waist, showing a lot more of his body. His golden skin was shining as droplets fell down from his damp hair, rolling down his neck, his chest. I gulped harshly when my eyes fell on his torso. Naked. He was naked except for a towel. The mischievous glint in his eyes made my throat dry, like sandpaper. And suddenly my sour mood, my anger, my frustration, every negative emotion I had piled up inside me melted faster than butter on a hot pan. I was gaping at him, like a fish. He was looking too
Scarlett Greene. She was dressed in a beautiful seagreen colored gown, looking royal as ever. For some reason, I could feel jealousy bubbling inside me. My eyes widened in shock, burning in jealousy when Scarlett Greene hugged Theodore tightly as if they had met after an eternity. And the rage inside me turned red, hot, ready to burn when Theodore hugged her back, as tightly as she was hugging him, if not more. "I missed you, Theo." She said, pulling away from him, and Theodore looked at her with a teary gaze. "I missed you too, Scarlette. You're alive. I….. I thought I lost you." He whispered softly, and my eyes narrowed in displeasure. "I thought I won't be able to return back here, Theo. I thought they would kill me. But I ran away from their captive. I need a place to stay, Theo. Please save me, Theo. Please." Scarlett cried, her tears troubling me from within. "Stay here, Scarlett. You have helped me so much when I needed you. I will never leave you alone when you need me, Sc
I thought the nightmares were put to end when I shifted to the mansion. But I was brutally pulled to the reality of my messed up mind when the past started haunting my sleep. I woke up with a scream. My body was shivering badly, sweat beading my forehead. Tears were rolling down my eyes. Everything felt so real. I could barely breathe. It was getting so hard for me to breathe, like someone had placed a stone on my chest, held my chest painfully, restricting me to breathe. And when I thought I would die from lack of oxygen, I was pulled to a warm embrace. My body was caged by a pair of warm arms, holding me tightly against them. "Serenity, shh, it's just a nightmare. You are fine. Nobody can hurt you, my love. Just take deep breaths." He ordered me softly, holding me in his embrace, rubbing soothing circles on my back. But it was not just a nightmare. I knew it was more than a nightmare.It was anything but a nightmare. It was a horrific part of my past. A part where everything is
Theodore walked inside his room with the first-aid box. His gray eyes were dark. He looked angry. But more than angry, he looked upset. I opened my mouth to speak, to apologize to him but nothing came out. I looked at him silently as he bent down in front of me, gently taking my arms to guide me on the bed. "Let me tend to your wounds." He said slowly, softly, and my heart broke into pieces when he started cleaning my cuts gently, not uttering anything else. A hiss escaped my mouth when the antiseptic met my open cut. And his concerned gaze looked up. Shaking his head, he blew on my cuts and scratches, making me shiver. "You are my Queen, Serenity. And I didn't appreciate you questioning my emotions for you just to make me do something." He said after a minute of cleaning my wounds. My heart started racing inside my chest when he looked up, his intense gaze making me swallow my spit harshly. He rubbed the insides of my wrist, looking at me without blinking his eyes. "I am sorry,
Alexander Woods was on the floor with my soulmate over him. Theodore’s arm was strangling his neck, his eyes were dark, as dark as they could have gotten. While the latter was struggling to breathe, my mate was angry. His body was shaking in anger. He was looking enraged, ready to lose control. His wolf was ready to take charge. “How dare you cross the boundary of my pack, get treatment from my soulmate, and try to harm her!? How fucking dare you touch her? She is my mate!” Theodore growled in anger, kicking him painfully in his gut, and Alexander curled in pain.“I won’t let you win again, Black! You won once! You killed Phoenix. I won’t let you win again!” Alexander weakly protested, and I saw Theodore’s eyes turn golden, flames of fire lurked in them, dangerously. "If I can kill Moon Goddess' son, Alexander, imagine what I would do with you for touching my mate! If I can kill Phoenix because he was proving to be a threat to the human race, imagine what I will do with you for har
Doctor Paul looked at me with amused eyes. While he was amused, others were shocked and they were looking too scared, and suddenly too alert. I could think of several reasons why everyone was looking at me differently. And the most fitting reason was the mark on my shoulder, glowing red, looking ferocious and wild. The claim that I was marked and Alpha King accepted me was proudly sitting on my right shoulder. Surprisingly it was looking good on me. I was never fond of tattoos but this was looked so beautiful. Though it was not a tattoo, it was still looking beautiful on my skin like it was meant to reign my body. “You are glowing today, Miss Knight. I believe the mark has to do something about it.” Doctor Murphy said as I helped other nurses in setting up the camp. Color rushed through my skin, and a blush spread my cheeks when everyone else looked at me silently but curiously. “Did the Alpha King really mark you?” One of the doctors, Amelia, asked me, touching my mark. Her eyes w
