Chapter 4
"Mother?" She pushes the door open to see her mother staring straight into her soul, her lips stretch into a smile as she casually walks into the room, closing the door behind her, "good morning.""Good morning to you too Arcadia, If you're here to get your birthday gift then please walk out the door and go disturb your father." She replies like a modern day customer care service recording and this makes Arcadia burst into a fit of laughter,"You know father would say the same thing and I haven't seen him all day, and since I'm here now I guess it's best I trouble you for it." She sways majestically, "give me a hint mother.....what would it be? What could it possibly be?" She hugs the Queen from behind while swaying her gently, "would you give me a riddle to solve just to get it out of you?" She tickles her sides and her mother reacts."Calm yourself princess!!" She coughs loudly as a nasty blush crept up her lips, she hated being tickled, "I won't give you a riddle because it would be too easy for you to solve." She adjusts her hair and goes for the door. Arcadia simply follows her as she skips."But you can't hide it away from me forever you know?" She wants to tickle her again but she protests with a simple hand gesture,"Touch me and you would be sleeping outside." She threatens but this didn't even seem to cause the slightest worry to Arcadia, "I can't hide it forever, your birthday is in two days, just wait till then." She gives a logical reason and smirks at her brilliance."But I want it now." Arcadia demands and the smirk is wiped off Queen Octavia's face, "can't you do this much for me mother?" She pulls her infamous puppy eyes with that cute dog whimper but Octavia is harder than stone."Wait till then, I'm done discussing this matter, there are more important things." She clears her throat, "I've been hearing rumors, you've been skipping classes with Xerxes, and I've confirmed it myself." Her death glare made Arcadia sweat a thousand bullets."I think father is calling me mother, I would just—" she tries to bail but Octavia grabs her by the loose strands of her hair that she could never manage by herself, "you're hurting me mother!!" She whimpers loudly as she held her scalp in pain,"And you're disobeying me. You're royalty and you need to act like it, you need to learn to defend yourself, what if a war breaks out? How will you protect yourself and your land?" She chastised out of affection, images of her dream flashing before her eyes, "I can't be there to protect you all the time, it's only a matter before I die and—""Why did you change the topic? You're nagging me not talking about your death!! You're not dying anytime soon!!" She screams back at her mother with the same amount of tempo. Octavia's nerve cracks."And how dare you raise your voice at me?!" She bites back.And this is where they show similarities. Both women were proud and loved to be heard first, often times it didn't make them see eye to eye."I already told you that I don't like certain topics but you always keep crossing the line mother!! I'm not mentally prepared for things like this!!" She begins to walk away after she lashes out,"For the love of the goddess!! Arcadia!! Arcadia!! Will you stop this instant!??!" She begins to jog to meet her strides, "Arcadia I said stop!! That's an order!!""Order my ass!! I'm not talking to you!!" She goes down the extravagant stairway with rapid speed, one of her super abilities as a werewolf princess,"Where are your manners?! Insolent girl!!" She's near the stairs and begins to go down them, "you took too much of that good for nothing boy." She grumbles to herself, she had no idea why she decided to have a child for him in the first place, "Arcadia i—" she slips off a step.Arcadia turns back to see why she was suddenly cut short, but she was already falling, "mother!!" She superspeeds to her and someone also copies her motion, they both hold Octavia before she fell into a mess which was the bottom of a very very very long stairway.They both stare at each other for a second before raising the Queen to a standing position,"Is this how you treat your mother? Making her run after you??" His eyes are wrinkled in annoyance and she couldn't look into his dazzling blue orbs, "are you okay my Queen?" He asks with utmost care and she nods until she winces in pain. They both look down at her ankle,"Oh dear, looks like a Sprain," she heaves a very heavy sigh, "Arcadia you know I'm not as youthful as I used to be back then, look at what your stubbornness has done now." She bonks her daughter in the head and the man does the same,"Why do you both have to hit me so hard?" She holds her aching head, they always did that to punish her unnecessarily. Now she would have a headache for no good reason. Well, it was her fault anyway but her mother started it."What did she do that led to you having to chase her? A whole Queen?" He turns his gaze to his student before knocking her head once again, and this time she breaks down in comical tears, "let me take you to your room. Arcadia meet me on the training grounds. Easy there." He swoops the queen into his arms and takes her back to her room slowly.But Arcadia turns back only to see her mother blowing raspberries at her, she gives a silent gasp, "that lying Grandma!!" She stamps her foot like a spoilt brat and superspeeds to the training grounds before she got into more trouble with her Master.Chapter 5"Are you sure you're okay? Do I need to call a doctor or something?" He continues to ask her over and over again and the Queen kept resisting treatment,"I'm fine Xerxes, you know how she can be at times, make sure you don't spare her during her session, she needs the workout." She laughs out loud, "I can handle myself.""You still haven't told me about the dream you had, have you found out what it means yet?" His brows crease for a moment before relaxing again."I'm working something out and to be honest it's not a laughing matter. Please, train my daughter's she needs to be able to fight, things aren't going to be easy anymore, especially for her." She takes his hands into hers and begs him with big eyes.He bends to give her a quick kiss,"She's my daughter too, I would make sure she's the best warrior in the kingdom. Whether she likes it or not." He slowly let's go off her, "rest well Octavia." He leaves her through t
Chapter 6"Mate?" Arcadia is genuinely confused, "what's so beautiful about a Mate?" She snorts before returning to her tart, "I thought you were GOING to tell me SOMETHING better but instead you mentioned MATE." she snorts once more before filling her mouth up. Xerxes laughs at her innocence,"What's wrong with a mate? It's a beautiful thing you know...." He is lost in thought,"Oh please!! This whole mate thing is just a scam the elders make, there's no such thing as falling in the love with someone because it's destiny." She laughs at the stupid myth,"And why do you say so?" Xerxes is indeed intrigued, "please do tell me more!!" He mocks her by mimicking her action,"Master have you ever looked at mother and father.......do you really believed they're mates?" She directs her face to the sunset and into his endless blue orbs to search for an answer,"Well—" he begins with the same answer he has told her for years,"Be
Chapter 7"I found them in Magnus' wardrobe, he knows we have an affair." She smiles a bit and this further confuses him, "they were with me until yesterday, so he must've found them and his nose-y attitude got the best of him." She laughs a little."Octavia are you serious right now? Is this a prank?? The king knows about us and you're laughing like nothing is wrong! You do know he can decide to kill us if he wishes to." He hurriedly arranged the letters until he sees one, a very familiar one, "does he know about Arcadia too?" His eyes widen in fear.The Queen of the kingdom nods like a happy child, she was enjoying the way the situation took a turn for the worse."You can't tell me you're not the slightest bit worried love?" His eyes are wide in fear, he must've fallen in love with a mad woman. She bends to move close to his ear,"In fact at the moment we are being watched," her eyes sneak to a tree and he sees one of the palace
Chapter 8"You're looking too beautiful today Octavia." The Queen praises herself as she did her hair, smiling at her mirror, her smiles disappears when the door to her room opens and she sees her husband staring at her with a grim look, "why welcome Magnus, you don't look too good? Are your ambassadors fighting again?" She laughs at her corny joke."Octavia I never expected this from you." His arms are crossed and he decides to close the door, she notices his gesture and she pulls her fan closest to her,"Neither did I Magnus, but if you can lie then so can I." She rises from her seat to look him straight in the eye, "I will not hide anything from you anymore but I will warn you, I will not hesitate to hang you on a tree if you do anything to my daughter or Xerxes." She snears at him."Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? You're a married woman and you're having an affair with someone who is younger than you with over 10 years, you're cheap and disgusting." He th
Chapter 9There was merry and laughter, her birthday preparations were in full swing, Arcadia would be 18 tomorrow and everything needed to be perfect. And apart from a birthday party there would also be a wedding. She was also getting married.Three men entered the palace looking like hot devils, all clad in black armour and welding heavy swords. One was particularly blond, almost a white blond, resembling Xerxes of some sort, his golden orbs were enough to take the light out of the room and his aura was cold and deadly.He was slender and built, he carried himself with a charisma that seemed to attract eyes to him, he had all the maids drooling, he must be the alpha she was getting married to.He sees the king and goes on his knee, "your majesty." He greets humbly and Magnus is delighted,"Czar, a wonderful surprise, I didn't know you would be so Early!" He lifts him up to embrace him, they both had wicked smiles on their faces,"A wonderful occasion
Chapter 10"Not one of us, but our master." They nod at each other, "he would be most happy to take you in, maybe then you would learn to keep your moth shut." He burns and his lackeys snicker at his comment,"I'm not surprised that something like that would escape your mouth, you don't look like the smartest anyway." She fans herself and one of the maid accidentally trips on hearing her statement, all of them gasped but quickly ran to do their work before they got fired.He was beyond embarrassed, and she has the proudest smirk on,"It's always good to know your place Arcadia, you're just a woman after all." He reminds her of her status in the wolf community, women are treated as objects, gifts, toys, that can be used anyhow the men please,"And I should remind you that a woman birthed you, and if she wished she would've killed you. We have the power of life and death, and if we want we would kill all of you." She smiles at them,
Chapter 11"Answer the question Magnus, what is the difference between a man and a woman? A paid of organs?" Her joke makes all the soldiers laugh, they have always known the Queen to be a very funny person, "cat got your tongue Magnus?" She smiles at him as she reaches the bottom,"And who are you to interfere in this matter Octavia?" He snorts at her,"I am the Queen of this Kingdom and Arcadia is my daughter!! Without me you wouldn't have built this Kingdom to where it is, show me some respect!" She commands it and there is a chill in the atmosphere, "she doesn't want your lame alpha, she would marry who she wants to marry and be happy with who she wants to be happy with." She stresses the last part for Magnus to know that she doesn't regret her actions. She doesn't regret Xerxes."You let your women run wild, giving them too much power, that's your mistake your majesty." Czar rolls his eyes,"Wolves like you fear unnecessarily, if you're as strong as you
Chapter 12Czar barges in and he is a walking volcano about to erupt, both men are concerned,"What is it czar?" Loki is the first to ask, "why are you so angry even though you're angry all the time?" Loki tries to soften the atmosphere but it wasn't working."It's Arcadia, that good for nothing princess just, she just, gahh!!" He kicks a chair off balance and they knew something was wrong,"She what? Does she already belong to someone?" Mace wanted to know, "tell me what happened to her??!!" He didn't want anyone to have her, she was his."She rejected you."The only thing that could be heard was the gasp that came out of a mouth, it was a maid that was bringing the food, she couldn't believe her Master had been rejected. Their eyes turned to her snd she quickly put the food down and ran back to her position, she was rather young, about 14, but she was going to be the one that would spread the gossip,"Are you s
Chapter 84. He pulls out of her and puts her on her knees, pulling her closer to him, she looks back to see what he was doing, eager to have him in her again. He injects himself into her and she moans loudly at his entrance, her moans get louder when he starts thrusting deep into her, hitting her pleasure spot."Ahhh!! Mace ahhhh!!" She gripped the sheets as he held her hips in place, slamming into her poor cookie and ripping it apart with his vein-y muscle, hard and rough was how he was giving it to her. It was what he always wanted, and her moaning only made his dreams come true, "oh please Mace!! Oh Mace!! Mace!!" Already screaming he pulls her up by her hair so he could kiss her and massage her tits,"You're loving it aren't you? You're so dirty aren't you? My queen," he groans in her ears before he forces her head down to the bed and fucks the living Daylight out of her. She screams in the sheets as her orgasm came over and over again
Chapter 83.This period was especially naughty since the women would be on heat and do their best to find their males with the use of heir pheromone. It was Octavia' s favorite day of the month. It was just mid-day but the preparations were in a full swing, everyone was getting ready to celebrate, every single person had the chance of finding a mate. "I might get lucky with a girl you know." Conan whispers to his brother and Asher mocks him with a laugh, "No offense but I think you're meant to be single all your life." His Savage remark makes Conan's mouth drops to the floor, he had the worst brother ever. Sheila was dressing Loki up in something prestigious, it was a royal attire for the most esteemed soldiers of the kingdom and he looked gorgeous in it. He desperately tries to make his hair smooth but Sheila kept roughening up. "I like it this way." She smiles seductively at him but he didn't like how
Chapter 82"Xerxes, go to Arcadia, apologise to her, I'm recovering already." She does her best to convince him to go speak to his daughter, it had been three days and he had refused to see Arcadia after she defended Mace,"I want to stay with you." The tears choke his voice but she manages to pull him into an embrace, and he sheds tears for the first time in quite a while, "Arcadia has broken me completely." He sobs uncontrollably,"Xerxes, she is your daughter, she would hurt you from time to time. But," she takes a pause, "I have a feeling she is Bewitched."He raises his head in shock, "what?! Charmed??" It sounded do off to him but Octavia had noticed that her daughter was not the same anymore, she nods her head slowly, "could that be why she is defending Mace with her life?""I believe so, she does not even know she is under a spell but it feels like true love. I am weak and it would take me time to break the spell,
Chapter 81"I'm fine mother, it was just a scratch." The morning had come and they had managed to defend themselves against the parasitic demon wolves, Octavia had refused to leave her daughter's side and the excessive doting had gotten on Arcadia's nerves."It is clearly not just a scratch, you could have lost your foot Arcadia!!" She is so worried about her but she didn't see it as a big deal,"Mother please, I'll be fine, Mace is here to take care of me." She points to her new lover who was leaning on the wall, she eyes his carefully, she had observed that she had been getting closer to Mace all of a sudden.It felt too off to her, and what she saw last night was even more unsettling. She came to aid her daughter with her injury and she saw Mace in wolf form, he had the same dark appearance of one of the demon wolves but the only thing he had different was his eyes.She guesses anyone could have that appearance but his
Chapter 80."Loki!!" He runs at the speed of light to find his brother and he sees him trying to pick food for his stomach, he wasn't picking but he was stealing instead. He gives him a hard slap on the back and he chokes on the corn he was eating,"What now?" His is angry and Mace chuckles deeply knowing fully well his brother does not like to be disturbed when eating,"Your charm works!! Arcadia is in love with me!!" He is ecstatic, and the smile on his face is oddly happy,"Well that's a good thing but this happiness of yours is what is confusing me." He chews his corn in low-key suspicion, Mace punches his chest,"It means our plan is working, she can't say no to me or to my touches, I was able to feel her skin and not bleed to death." And Loki chokes on his corn,"You touched her?!" He gets some water and eyes the entrance to make sure none of the cooks saw him stealing food, "it is that potent?" He didn't believ
Chapter 79.Morning came and there had been more news about the demon wolves attacking anyone they see, it had put Arcadia in a difficult position as her people came t her begging for help, seeking protection from their Queen.But everything was amiss.Xerxes and Octavia had gone to investigate the matter and were attacked by a few wolves but made it out as she used her powers to defend the both. It was a side of Octavia he had never seen and she had a lot of explaining to do; majority dating back to her past.She had to set up charms to ward off the demon wolves with the scent of roses which they found offensive, it was the major reason they kept attacking the town as most of the people living in it were of the rose clan."That is the last one." She ties it gently to the biggest tree and she runs the sweat off her brow, she feels dizzy for a while but her husband is behind her to catch her, "thank you so much, it's been a
Chapter 78"Arcadia??" He called out to her but she didn't open her door, he pushes the door open but he notices a weight blocked it from opening fully, he slides himself through the small space and sees his daughter unconscious on the floor, "Arcadia!!" He lifts her up and drops her on the bed, she moans lightly as she struggled with sleep, but alas, it had left her when he carried her,"Father?" She rubs the sleep out of her eyes, "what is the matter?" Blue eyes stare into blue eyes but he was troubled,"I saw you on the floor, I thought something bad had happened to you," he was filled with fear after what Octavia said Sativa told her, "I didn't know you were sleeping.""It is okay, I fell asleep actually," her eyes scan her room but he could see the we're swollen, like she had been crying, "father I have a question?" He nods in approval for her to speak, "what are the qualities of a good Queen?" And this was when self doubt
Chapter 77Octavia is pacing round the room while Xerxes leaned on the wall, they were discussing the matter of the demon wolves and what Sativa had said about Arcadia."I think we would just kill Mace, he is causing too much trouble for my daughter." His suggestion makes her freeze to give him a hard look,"Did you not hear me when I said that the sage said that Mace is her Mate??" She goes off on him but Xerxes rolls his eyes,"Sativa is old, she can always make a mistake and not even know it." He counters and this makes Octavia groan loudly,"I've known Sativa since I was born, she gave me my name as she was an elder, she is blessed by the goddess, she can't make a mistake and travel a great distance to spill nonsense Xerxes!!" She took is personal and this irked him,"I want the best for Arcadia and Mace is not the best!!" He fires back and things went down south, she rubs her temples in frustration,"Are you sayin
Chapter 76Her eyes enlarged to the size of a frog's, "my Queen!! How old are you?!" Her question makes her erupt in laughter, it was so loud that Xerxes heard and when he saw her laughing he felt annoyed. He had been waiting for hours for her and she was having fun with Sheila, he was worried sick that something might have happened to her."I'm not so old!!" She pouts cutely, "I knew your mother, she was....a character...." She remembers the disturbance of a life time she got during her youthful years, Sheila sighed sadly, she missed her mother, "she was opportune to give birth earlier than I did. It's been close to four decades since the war against demon wolves, it has been long and it hasn't been long.""Octavia!!" His tone booms and gives her quite a fright, "I have been worked up since you left!! You didn't take any soldier with you, you just ran out!!""I took Sheila." She is quick to point out to hide her mistake,"Actua
