Alex's POVI decided to bring my mate for the council meeting today because I am sure with Rosabella coming back, the elders will try to push me to take her as the Lycan Queen considering that she has my son, a son I haven't met yet.It's not like I don't want to meet him, it's just that Seeing him would remind me of the pain I have caused my mate.For some reasons, I'd rather keep Linda happy than meet that so-called son.Crazy right? But that's how crazy I am for my Mate. At some point, I even thought of leaving everything behind and be with her as she asked." You don't have to worry so much about her,your highness, she is strong. Nothing can put her down." Leo comforted me as we headed to the meeting room but that did not make me feel any better. If anything, it made me feel even more guilty. I promised to protect her. Is thistle how I keep my word? By dragging her to a den of vultures ready to devour her." I have failed her Leo, I have disappointed her. It hurts so much." I repl
I stepped inside the meeting hall with confidence reeking in me.The Mistress should be given a chance to prove herself yet I am Alex's Mate and I don't deserve that? How audacious!My eyes collided with Alex's and he gave me a smile but I looked away.I could not afford to have him distract me at this point.I will deal with this matter once and for all." And who the hell do you think you are yo step inside this hall without permission?" The man I identified as lord Callaso questioned, hostility evident on his face and voice.I walked towards him before whispering to him." I am your nemesis. Watch out, you messed with the wrong person."I watched with satisfaction as his eyes widened in horror then anger overtook his old face.Are you sure you want me to answer that question?" I asked out loud before he could say anything else.Turning to face the crown, I greeted Alex with respect." Come darling, sit by my side." Alex motioned me, making me fight the urge to roll my eyes at him.
Staring at Rosabella walking away, I could not help but frown. I don't Know if I am just overly suspicious or not but I think I caught a faint familiar scent from her body.Deciding to stop overthinking, I headed straight to my room. After the disagreement I had with Alex or should I say misunderstanding, even after solving it, I did not move back to his room .With everything happening, I will prefer to stick around. If he wants, he can move in with me but I swore to myself that I'll only move back to his room after I become his Queen.In the meantime, I'll stay in the room he prepared for me when I came here.I had just Stepped inside the room when the door was pushed open revealing a frowning Alex.One look at him and I could tell that he was worried about the impromptu decision I had made earlier." What's up lover boy?" I asked, sending wink his way. I Just wanted to lighten the mood but Alex was not having any of it." Quite fooling around Linda. Do you know what you just did?"
Valeria's POVI have always known that Linda is not someone to take an insult laying down and today she proved it.She proposed a challenge to Lord Callaso in a duet.She was really going all out to fight for Alex. Challenging Lord Callaso would be difficult but if she manages to take care of him, she would have eliminated the root cause of the chaos in her and Alex's relationship.Others might not see it but I can tell that the whole Rosabella appearance was orchestrated by her father. She is just a pawn in his game. What I can't quite figure out is what Is his plan.I do have my own suspicions but I can't voice them out loud.After chatting with Linda, I headed to my room to rest. I needed it, we needed it.I had just settled on the sofa when the door was pushed open and Leo's sweet scent invaded my nose.I looked up to see him standing with his hands in his pockets."Can we talk?" he asked.I nodded my head and patted the empty seat beside me.He moved and sat down. He looked nervo
" Are you serious? You are not joking with me, right?" Leo asked, anticipation evident in his voice.I smiled at him, pinching his nose." I am not joking. I have thought about it. I want to be with you." I replied, hoping that he could see the seriousness on my face." But I thought..." He trailed off and I sighed." You thought that I didn't want to be seen with you? That was in the past Leo. After everything that has happened, I think I should give myself a chance to be happy. Just like Linda said, I don't want to live with regrets." I answered him.After seeing how happy Alex was with his mate, I also considered seeking my own happiness. I have been too stuck on helping Alex with the kingdom and finding his mate. It's about time I think about myself and Leo is undoubtedly the man who can make me happy.Although he hasn't found his mate which could complicate things in the future, I decided to give him a chance. He has always carried a torch on me and has proven to me time to time
": You'll do just that but for now, allow me to pleasure you." I purred and watched as a smirk covered Leo's face.Withouts waiting for his reply, I took his member in my hands, giving it a lick across its length . Leo let out a throaty moan and leaned against the wall behind him. He placed his hands on my head as I licked his member like a lollipop, getting it slick with my saliva. I swirl my tongue around his tip, which made Leo buck his hips into my mouth."Sorry." He muttered and I hummed on his length, making him shiver.I took him fully into my mouth and started a bobbing motion, my hands playing with his sac. "Oh Goddess !"Leo groaned and thrust his hips.I hummed on his length, sending shivers up his body, the vibrations tickling the tip of his manhood. He let out a groan and tightened his grip on my hair. He began to thrust his hips in time with my sucking."Fuck, you're good at this." He moaned, his voice thick with pleasure.I pulled back to swirl my tongue around the tip o
“ Where are you going?" Leo asked as I tried to put on some clothes and cover my nakedness. How could I forget what Linda asked me to do?I was so invested in making love with my now boyfriend that I almost let such a golden chance slip past my hands.“Get dressed!" I ordered.After we both got dressed, I led the way and Leo followed behind me." Val, what are you up to this time?" He asked, making me roll my eyes." Just shut up and follow me. "Leo didn't ask any more questions as he followed me.When we arrived at the backyard, he was there, admiring flowers.My eyes shone as I walked towards the boy only to have Leo pull me back." Valeria, that's Alex's son." He said, his eyes searching my face." And I don't know that? ""Well, what are you planning to do with him?" He asked, not backing down." Relax, will you? Linda asked me to get her something from the boy. Don't worry, I'm not heartless enough to hurt a boy. " I rolled my eyes at him." Fine." He gave in as he watched me wal
Alex's POVThree days.The match was set to happen after three days.Today is the third day and as much as I want to remain composed, I can't help the fear overtaking my body.I don't look down on her, if anything, I Know that my mate is very strong but this is lord Callaso we are talking about. He is the strongest and the most cunning of all the elders of the council.I worry that he will hurt Linda just to secure the position of Queen for his daughter.Yes, I Know Linda told me to trust her, but can you really blame me for being worried about my mate?" Alex, there's no use beating yourself over this. It's bound to happen. If she said she has a way, then trust her." Leo offered but nothing he said was going to make me stop worrying.Until I see my mate finish that fucking challange without a scratch on her perfect body, only then can I stop worrying ." You are not helping, Leo."" I'm not trying to." He replied. " Just saying it as it is. You know you can't do anything about it any
Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin
The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands. Now, I just want to fulfil her words, bring the world under
Linda's povThe fight between Rosabella and I was getting intense. She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death? " Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about your son. He is young and needs you. He needs a mother to care and love him. " I said in an attempt to c
Alex povWe set off after Linda's mother and I had a little chat.While I was away, I instructed Fiona to take charge of the kingdom and if something happens to me, she would take over as the Next lycan king.As for Linda, she would chose whether to stick around or leave the kingdom and continue with her life.I know she loves her profesion so I did the only thing I thought was good for her, setting her free.With me gone, i don't think she will be comfortable living with the lycans. Not like my people won't accept her, it's just that staying back would only give her pain." We still need you, she needs you. " Leo mindlinked me as we approached the prison where the battle would be held.I smiled, albeit bitterlyI didn't want this for myself, for my kingdom and most especially for my mate but some things are inevitable.This battle will only end with my death.I nodded at him.Leo looked away. I could see the pain in his eyes yet he remained strong." Change of plans. Your mate will t
Linda's povMorning came and as promised, Aurora sneaked into my prison cell. " Ready? " She asked and I nodded. Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath. Stripping, I headed to the bathroom.I washed away the dirt and the grime that had collected itself on my skin.After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refresh
Linda's POVShe was right.Whether Alex stayed back at the kingdom or came to this damn forsaken place, a confrontation between them was inevitable. From what I saw about that man, his hatred for Alex ran deep and there's nothing that could stop him from taking his revenge on Alex.It's funny or should I say it's twisted how that man thinks?After being discarded by his father, he blames Alex for his misfortunes?I nodded." Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow." Macbeth said, her words filled with determination." Alright, then
Macbeth povComing here was something that I would probably get a Scolding from my father but at this point, I didn't care. I needed to do this for my sister.For so many years, I had tried to convince my father to bring her back to the deep sea where her family is but he never agreed." She is a witch, Macbeth. She can't survive here. " That would always be his reply.He was right yet every time I heard his answer, I would not help but be angry.Angry that he never found a way to bring her to us.I would sneak occasionally to the dry land and sneak a peek at her yet every time I saw her, I left more heartbroken than the previous time.Her life among the lycans wasn't as bad. She was respected and valued here. Nobody treated her badly. At Least that would comfort me everytime.She had someone who adored her to the moon and back. Sometimes, I even envied her. Her life was fun, nothing like the mundane life I lived under water." Are you even listening to me? " I heard Kaiser's voice as
Looking at the scene unravelling before me made me sick to the stomach. Turns out that the reason that child looked like me was because he was my brother's son, a brother I never knew about." So now, do you still want to deny it? " Macbeth asked and I sucked in cold breath." There's nothing to deny but the fact still remains, I never knew that I had a brother somewhere. " I replied in all honesty." I can't believe this! " Leo murmured, looking all shaken." You really didn't know? " Macbeth pressed but I was getting fed up with her." How many times must I say that I never knew!? " I raised my voice as I spoke." If you really want your help then the first step you take is trust us. Why would I lie about something so serious? If I ever knew about having a brother, do you believe i'll want to be the lycan king? I have never loved being tied down to the throne. " I added and she nodded, looking away." I think Alex is telling the truth. He would not let someone take Jos mate away and
The lady turned to look at Leo with an hostile look painting her face. " You know nothing about my family so I suggest you stop making wild guesses." She warned. I shook my head at Leo , stopping him from arguing with her. At this point , we were supposed to stick together to face the enemy and not fight amongst ourselves. As for their differences, although I doubt there's any , they will solve them later. " Show me to my sister's room and bring something that belongs to your mate." The lady instructed and I nodded. " Leo , can you show her to valeria's room? " I requested but he growled at me, obviously dissatisfied. "'Why should I take her? " He asked. " Forget it . I'll head there myself. I'll just follow her scent. Macbeth replied before turning away and heading in the direction of valeria's room.I sighed and Leo frowned. He then glared at me. " What? " I asked, feigning innocence. " Why would you allow her to enter valeria's room? " He asked and this time, it's Kaiser
