RykerMy mind can think of only one person who might know this truth about her so I quickly ask that witch about her vision.She nods her head. “I clearly saw one man’s face whilst the others’ faces were blurry. I can recognize him even in the crowd. My visions aren’t wrong or weak. Whatever I see in my vision imprints on my memory and I can recall it anytime.”Her confidence gives me the assurance that I need from her before showing her the pictures of the people I doubt.Grabbing my laptop, I search for Alex and his Dad’s pictures which I easily get from the internet as they are popular among our community because of this academy and their high positions in it. “Tell me if you saw any of them,” I tell her while showing her the pictures of both- father and son’s.She narrows her eyes as she looks at their picture, which shows them standing together and smiling happily. The contentment is visible on their evil faces and something in me tells me that it’s not going to last.“This young

Ryker“It’s because of the treaty, Your Highness,” Elysia replies with a gentle smile. Her aura is pretty strong yet soothing as if she is the epitome of calmness.“What is the treaty that you’re mentioning again and again?” Azura asks, rubbing her forehead with the tip of her fingers to calm her down because she is still furious and struggling to get a hold of her emotions.Although it’s not visible on her face, her expressions are indifferent as usual but her tone and eyes tell me the truth. Given how much she has discovered about herself in the past few minutes, her response is justifiable. She has been living as her father’s loving daughter her whole life who was killed mysteriously and she was so passionate about finding the true culprit behind her father’s murder. Now, she gets to know that he wasn’t her real father…My wolf feels bad for her and urges me to console her. I look at my watch and see that it’s been past our breakfast time in the academy already, we can’t get more l

AzuraElysia takes my form and cast an invisible spell on us before teleporting us to Alex’s house. We find ourselves in front of Alex and he looks at me, pausing his walk and giving me a death glare. I gulp hard, not daring to look anywhere else but at his face. The intensity and anger in his eyes makes me nervous. Does her spell doesn’t work in front of Alex, too? Is he also a royal or what? I wonder while a shiver runs down my spine as he takes a few steps toward me, his gaze hardening more.Ryker holds my hand and stands between Alex and me, shielding me from him.“How dare you?” Alex spits through his gritted teeth. His wolf’s raven black eyes shimmering as he seethes in outrage.“We-” Ryker opens his mouth but the laughing voice coming from behind us cuts him off and we simultaneously look at the man standing behind us.A tall man, a bit older than Alex who has same facial features as him is leaning against the wall, his hands are crossed against his chest as he is looking at

RykerI’m not skeptical if he is talking about me because I’m sure as fuck that he is indeed. I wait patiently for him to continue further so I know the reason behind his fucking evil deeds.“I have tried to make them believe me but I’m not sure if Ryker bought it. I couldn’t make more of his response so I’m not sure but Azura,” Alex smirks, glancing at his father who reciprocates that evil smirk. “She is a strong she-wolf but an emotional fool. Coming to the academy was the worst decision of her life. She has escaped from her pack and her husband is looking for her like a hungry wolf. I have heard from my men that he has put a huge reward on her head. He is thirsty for her blood.”Azura’s face stiffens as she shoots daggers at that bastard. Her aura rises as she gets furious and it affects me even though I’m an Alpha. “What is this?” George narrows his eyes, looking around himself. “I felt a shiver run down my spine as if someone’s present in this room, stronger than me.” I hold he

Azura“You’re slacking today, Alpha Elias,” Logan remarks coldly, bringing me back here.My mind is still wandering around Alex’s house, his father and brother have some feud and I just can’t stop thinking about George’s sins. He has killed his wife and wants to kill me, I’m not scared of him but if I’m truly the Alpha Princess as Elysia has told me, I will make sure that that bastard pays for his every single sin.‘Don’t think about them, Zu. Focus on the training, the Alpha King will be here this weekend,’ Ryker tells me through the mind link, encouraging me to focus on the task.“Improve your posture,” Logan barks, shooting daggers at me. He hasn’t been pissed off at me like this before but right now, his stern gaze is making me feel nervous. I notice my shoulders slouching as I dodge the attack of Alpha Kade who is the tallest candidate in the academy. I don’t understand why Professor Logan would put me against Alpha Kade who is lethal. He has bruised the side of my jaw and I have

RykerThe atmosphere in his office is suffocating; the tension is so thick it feels like it could be sliced with a knife. My stomach twists as I watch him, his gaze lingering on Azura with a desperate, almost pitiful adoration that makes my skin crawl. His words, meant to convey the weight of his conversation with his father, are lost on me—overshadowed by the way his eyes soften every time they meet hers. It’s maddening, as I know that he is fucking lying and looking at her with that fucking lustful gaze. I despise every second of it.My wolf wants to pounce on him and strangle his throat till he begs for mercy. He is frustrated with the fact that he is trying to betray us, fooling us with his fake stories and lies. “He wants me dead because I broke the rule, huh?” Azura frowns, picking up on his lies. “You know how he has been a power-hungry wolf since the beginning of the foundation of this academy; he thinks that everyone should be terrified of him and no one should dare betray

Azura“What the fuck do you think you were doing there?" I put my hands on my hips, looking at him and waiting for his answer, but he crashes his lips against mine instead of responding. I find myself getting lost in the taste of his addictive lips, but I somehow control myself and push him away, breaking the kiss. “We saw nothing,” Dante speaks, reminding us that we are not alone here. The heat rushes to my cheeks as I steal a glance at his Beta, who has turned his back toward us, closing Elysia’s eyes with his hands.Although embarrassed, I giggle as I feel the tension between Elysia and Dante. They look cute together, and I’m sure Dante is head over heels for this girl, who seems genuine and kind to me. “You…” Ryker grinds his teeth, punching the air in frustration. “What are you both doing here?”“You’re so rude, Alpha,” Dante pouts, facing us. Ryker locks eyes with him, his stare unrelenting. A bead of sweat forms as he gulps, hesitating before the words can leave his lips. “It

RykerMy wolf wants to pin her down and fuck her till she accepts that she is the Princess, no matter what. I don’t doubt that she is not the werewolf Princess, but even if she is not, there is an intense urge to treat her like my Princess. She is mine, and I will make her aware of this fact soon. The only mistake that she made was choosing that asshole as her husband and mate. My wolf snaps back at me, reminding me that I made the biggest mistake by letting her go. If I had stopped her and proved to her that he wasn’t worthy of her, she wouldn’t have been so hurt by Nicholas, and we would have been together since the beginning.While I hate admitting that he is right, I blame myself for letting her go, and somewhere, I have always blamed myself for her pain. “Listen, Azura.” I look into her eyes, which are black, not blue, since she is still wearing her lenses. “You’re the daughter of the Alpha King. If you wouldn’t, George won’t be so desperate to kill you,” I argue with her. “Do

AzuraOne Week Later...The Blue Moon hangs like a glowing beacon in the night sky, casting its luminous glow over the packhouse grounds. Tonight is not just any night—it’s the rarest of nights when magic courses through the air, weaving a mystical tapestry between all who gather under its light. It’s as if fate itself has written this moment, for not only is it my wedding night but also the Blue Moon, a time when the most powerful bonds can be revealed. I pray to the Moon Goddess to give me Ryker as my fated mate, but even if she is up to some game and gives me someone else as my second chance mate, I’m determined to reject him in the blink of an eye. I stand in front of the mirror, barely recognizing the woman reflected there. My wedding gown, a masterpiece of silk and lace, hugs my body like a dream. The bodice is adorned with intricate silver embroidery, weaving the shapes of moons and wolves, while the long, flowing skirt spills around me like water, glistening with the light f

AzuraThe smell of sizzling eggs and freshly brewed coffee fills the air as I step into the dining room, the warmth of the early morning sun streaming through the windows. My heart still feels like it’s floating somewhere above my head, ever since last night. The proposal. Ryker. My soon-to-be husband.I smile to myself as I sit at the breakfast table, but the moment I do, I notice something strange—everyone’s looking at me. Elysia’s grinning, Dante’s trying to hold back a smirk, and even Rosie is practically buzzing with excitement.“What?” I ask cautiously, narrowing my eyes at them.Elysia leans over the table, wiggling her eyebrows. “Oh, nothing. Just that your fiancé—" she drags out the word with extra emphasis, “—decided to make a very public proposal last night.”“Very public,” Dante echoes, unable to hide his grin. “I mean, the whole pack was watching.”“And now,” Rosie chimes in, her eyes sparkling mischievously, “it’s going viral. The Alpha’s proposal is the talk of the town

Ryker“Nothing’s wrong,” I assure her, my lips curving into a smile. “In fact, everything feels right. More right than it’s ever been.”Her eyes soften, and I can see the question forming on her lips, but I don’t give her a chance to ask. Instead, I stand up, pushing my chair back as I get down on one knee.The gasps around us are immediate. The pack members who have been subtly watching our every move are now openly staring, their eyes wide with shock and curiosity as a few of them start recording it on their phones. But none of that matters anymore. The only thing that matters is the woman in front of me.Azura’s hands fly to her mouth, her eyes wide with surprise. “Ryker, what are you—”“Azura,” I interrupt softly, pulling the ring from my pocket and holding it up for her to see. “From the moment I met you, I knew you were the one for me. Strong, fierce, and the most beautiful woman I have ever seen—everything I’ve ever wanted in my wife. You’ve challenged me, pushed me, and made m

RykerThe moment she steps out of the bathroom, wearing my shirt and looking both regal and relaxed, my breath catches in my throat. Azura—the one person who can shatter me with a glance and, at the same time, make me feel invincible—is here, wrapped up in my scent, my world, and for the first time in what feels like forever, everything seems right.Her hair cascades down her back, damp from the shower, catching the light in a way that makes her look ethereal, like some kind of warrior goddess who has walked straight out of legend. And yet, there is this softness to her that draws me in. The way her lips curve into a soft smile when she catches me staring, the subtle blush on her cheeks... damn, I’m a goner.I can’t help but shake my head as a light blush creeps onto my cheeks as I recall the moment she came to me, begging me to fuck her and make her forget everything else that’s been running through her mind. She is silly but cute and yet demanding; I absolutely love that about her.

AzuraA sliver of sunlight peeks through the curtains, dancing across my eyelids. I stir, blinking as the warmth wraps around me like a soft blanket. My muscles are sore, my body deliciously tired, but it’s the weight of the arms around me that brings a smile to my lips before I even open my eyes.RykerThe heat of him against my back is grounding, his heartbeat steady and strong, a rhythmic reminder of the night before. Memories flood back, each one sending a shiver down my spine. His touch, his words, the way he made me forget everything but him.I turn my head slightly, catching a glimpse of him still fast asleep. His dark hair falls messily across his forehead, his jaw relaxed, and his arm is draped possessively over my waist. Even in sleep, he doesn’t let me go.He looks so gorgeous even in sleep; his long eyelashes, sharp jawline, square face, and full lips make him look like a Greek god. I give him a small pack on his lips, nose, and forehead. A flutter of emotion tightens my

Ryker “Put me down, Ryker!” She snaps, her voice laced with fury, but I’m already halfway up the stairs, my steps heavy with intent. I don’t stop until I reach my bedroom door, and with one swift kick, I push it open. The sound echoes in the quiet hallway as I stride in, locking the door behind me.I toss her onto the bed, her body bouncing slightly against the mattress, but she quickly scrambles to her feet and tries to run away. Before she can make another move, I’m in front of her, pinning her against the wall, trapping her between my body and the cold surface behind her. Her breath hitches, her eyes wide with a mix of shock and something else—something that matches the heat blazing in my chest.“You want to know what I want, Azura?” I growl, my voice low as I lean in closer, my lips inches from hers. “I want you to stop pushing me away. I want you to stop acting like you don’t feel this, too.”Her breathing quickens, and for a split second, I see a flicker of uncertainty in her e

Ryker“You wanted to dance, right? Let’s go and dance,” I growl, holding her hand firmly when she tries to walk away.Azura stops in her tracks, her back stiffening at my words. She turns to look at me, her eyes blazing with anger, but I can feel the tension in her hand as I grip it tightly. She’s furious, and to be honest, so am I.How could she let another man touch her? Dance with him, no less, while I’m standing here, watching her? Did she think I’d just let it slide? Not a chance.But instead, she pulls away from me with a sharp yank, her lips curling into a mocking smile. "Don’t play with me, Ryker. Go back to your bitch. I’m sure she’s waiting for you on the dance floor."My jaw clenches at her words. "Azura, I wasn’t dancing with her because I wanted to. The Elders—"She scoffs, cutting me off. "Are you going to give me excuses now? And do you expect me to believe you?" She crosses her arms, her stance challenging me, daring me to give her a weak excuse.I grit my teeth, trying

AzuraI can’t help but feel a pang of guilt gnawing at me as I sit quietly, picking at my food. Ryker’s question echoes in my mind. Did you not like the dress I bought for you? How could I have missed that? A part of me feels bad for not going to his room and checking out the dress earlier. He looked so hurt, but he was quick to mask it over with a smile when he got to know that I hadn’t seen it.I glance at him across the room as he chats with some of the warriors; he is looking so hot in that suit. Of course, the women would throw themselves at him. I scan the venue and find the girls staring at him with lovesick eyes. Sighing, I grab my glass of red wine that Xander had brought for me, only to spill it onto my dress accidentally. “Oh no!” I mutter under my breath, blotting at the grease stain with a napkin. Of all the times to be clumsy. As I try to clean it with the tissue, the stain doesn’t go away; it spreads on my dress. My wolf smirks at me; you did it intentionally. I sho

RykerThe chaos erupts when Elysia’s parents storm in. It feels like a crack of thunder, sharp and jarring. My body stiffens, my wolf on edge, ready to act. Elysia’s mother looks livid, her lips pressed into a thin, disapproving line while her father strides toward Dante with a fury that promises trouble."How dare you abduct my daughter?" Her father’s booming voice slices through the peaceful atmosphere, drawing everyone's attention. His eyes blaze with a mixture of anger and disbelief as he takes in the sight of his daughter in a wedding dress, standing next to Dante, who looks caught between panic and determination. I immediately step forward, my protective instincts kicking in, but before I can speak, Andrew and my grandfather appear out of nowhere, moving to intercept Elysia’s parents. Their presence is a calming force, and I see both of them exchange a quick glance before addressing the royal witches.“Wait,” Andrew begins, his voice calm but firm, as he raises his hands to sto
