Princess Katie Anne~~“Rejecting Camila is the best solution.”Auntie Susanna’s words echoed around us all, and my heart clenched painfully for Kyle and Camila.Her statement brought about questions, one being, “How is that the best solution?”Although I was too dazed to spark or ask questions, my mom wasn’t. She kept a straight face as she asked, “What do you mean, Suzy? We are looking for ways to prevent the kids from hurting. The pain of rejection is ten times worse than the pain of separation, Suzy.”Right? How on earth does rejection make sense?Even Uncle Andrew muttered, “That’s too extreme, Susanna. Camila’s wolf spirit could get hurt, and that would affect her. She might never get a wolf or shift if Kyle rejects her, and Kyle’s energy would also depreciate, which means he would become less worthy to become the next ruler.”We all looked back at Auntie Susanna, but as her lips parted, Kyle etched, leaving no room for argument, “I won’t reject her. I can never do that to her.
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE’S POV~~Despite thinking for the past two days, I still couldn’t come to a conclusion. Clearly, I had to break the bond between Camila and me, or more appropriately, I had to pause the bond. That was the best option.Yet I couldn’t seem to accept it.Instead, the bond was fighting against the thought of pausing it.However, it was only a matter of time before my family, including extended family like Camila’s parents, began to pester me. With that knowledge in mind, I forced myself out of bed that morning and decided to participate in the morning training with my family.Usually, we train on the field behind our home. Just us. Once a week.They were surprised to see me walk out through the back door, but they quickly pulled themselves together. At least everyone else did, but Ronald didn’t. My brother glared at me, burning deep holes into my head.He was such a good friend. Right?“We better have a talk with that one soon,” Rio said those words to me, and I could
DAVIEN~~Every time I felt like I was understanding this family, they shocked me without trying. This morning, it started with a family duel. If that was normalized in my family, Damien and I would have killed each other, and maybe my dad would have ended my life long ago.I didn’t know what to expect when we got to the field behind the palace, but when the duel began, I realized that it was more of a fun bonding time than a violent moment.At least, that was what I believed as we cheered for Ronald and Kyle. However, that belief shifted when the tip of the wooden sword with Ronald tore Kyle’s skin enough to cause bleeding.The fun was sucked out of me even though I saw Ronald smiling genuinely for the first time in days. My eyes widened when Kyle launched another attack that seemed more intense than the previous ones.Yet, every member of the royal family cheered them on.“He is going to hurt him, Katie. Shouldn’t we stop this? I think it has gone too far,” I whispered to my mate
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~Breakfast was jolly.Every member of my family was smiling and chatting happily. It felt good to see them happy, but that didn't stop my heart from pounding with every second that passed.“Seems like we aren't the only nervous ones around the table,” Rio muttered to me, urging me to look at Davien.The deep frown on Davien’s face was enough to know that he was worried about the assignment my Pa said he had for him. I wouldn't be worried if I were him because Pa wouldn't put him in charge of anything he couldn't handle.On the other hand, I wasn't certain I could handle saying the right words when I had to reject Camila. I tried to do it alone in my bedroom, but I was scared I would say the wrong words and wouldn’t be able to undo it.So I decided that I would do it before my family. Of course, my younger siblings wouldn't be there—I didn't trust Ronald not to lose his newly acquired cool if he somehow found out that rejecting his best friend was my way of
Princess Katie Anne~~“We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”My mom’s words pricked my soul like poisonous needles.“She has got to be kidding,” Zuri was quick to blurt.Zoe, on the other hand, stifled a groan. “They all have got to be kidding. We should keep him away from those who traumatized him, not push him toward them.”I completely agreed with my wolves. This was bizarre, and from the look on my dad's, Auntie Susanna's, and Beta Andrew’s faces, I could tell they knew about this plan as well. This was the assignment Davien had been anxious about.Although my mate tried to hide the fact that he was nervously waiting for my dad to tell him what the assignment would be, I didn’t fail to sense how fast his heart was racing through the bond.Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought my parents would want Davien to be a spy… to spy on his own family.Even though they had hurt him in the past, they remained his family. The best thin
DAVIEN~~I would be lying if I said my heart didn’t skip a beat when I first heard these words: “We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”However, seeing the way Katie reacted and stood up for me warmed my heart. She would have stood by me if I had said no to her parents. She wouldn’t have called me weak or pathetic. That was reassuring, and it helped me realize that I was in a safe place.That’s why I have chosen to accept this assignment.After all, saying no to my dad’s demands for information would be a very dangerous move. He wouldn’t be as cool-headed as the royal family. I thought to myself, “This is the best side for me to be on.”“We know this will be hard for you, Davien, which is why you can always back out,” Alpha King Raiden said before he even began to explain what I would be doing as a two-way spy.“I want to do this, King Raiden. I won’t back down until we contain the situation,” I uttered confidently.How I wished my heart
Princess Katie Anne~~I had no reason to doubt my mate anymore. Huh, maybe I do, but I have chosen to trust him and see where what we have takes us. I have also forgiven Dolf for choosing to leave me because that's what I needed to heal and move forward with Davien.“Speaking about moving forward, Katie, I believe it’s time to complete the mate bond with Davien,” Zuri chimed into my mind while my eyes lingered on Davien’s peaceful face.He was sleeping soundly beside me even though I couldn’t, as I was worried that the path he had chosen would hurt him. Just yesterday, he had taken the first steps toward deceiving his dad, and now we were waiting for Alpha Jarrett to respond to Davien's text.In a few hours, the sun would take its place in the sky, and I hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep—“What Zuri is trying to say is that you should consider taking Davien’s pants off, grabbing his cock, and riding him—,” Zoe began, explicitly explaining what Zuri had said.If I was close to falling a
DAVIEN~~The smell of her strong desire found me in the depths of my subconscious and woke me up effortlessly. It was a natural reaction of a male to his female's desire, but while I knew that, I didn’t expect Katie to say those words without blinking.“I want you between my legs, Mate.”Fuck!I had never understood the concept of desire. At least, not until now.I had seen Damien with many women and even heard him with them, but I had never thought of taking any woman to my bed. Not that they wanted me anyway. They always went for the better twin, and I wasn’t. Sadly.Also, while I had seen my fair share of pretty women, I had never felt drawn to them, even when I tried.However, with Katie, it came naturally.My member hardened within a twinkle of an eye, and my body burned to hold her closer. Katie's words kept echoing in my head, pouring gasoline on the indescribable desire that woke me up in the first place.I groaned in response, and Katie scooted closer, her hands on my face
Princess Katie Anne~~I could feel my heart racing even though I tried to hide it and control the rush of emotions that attacked my nervous system the second we drove into Black Fur pack.Somewhere at the back of my mind, I could see my younger self giggling as we drove out of Black Fur. I could see the big smile on my face because I was excited to leave the pack for the first time in my life.I recalled holding my mom and Kyle while my little mind rapidly took in the possibility of adventure that awaited us, even though I didn’t know half of the thoughts that were racing through my mom’s mind that day.I bet she was terrified that day, but she kept a strong face for Kyle and me. Now, it was my turn to be strong for Davien and my family.As Garrick drove the car towards the Alpha’s mansion, following Davien’s direction, I tried to look around, searching for some sort of familiarity, even though I knew recognizing anything or anyone from my childhood here would stir up my emotions.
DAVIEN~~After a day of packing and a farewell dinner with the entire family, Katie and I were ready to leave Dark Moon Pack and journey to my birth pack, which was also her birth pack because she and Kyle were born in Black Fur.I was still scared of what could happen on this trip, but I had been working on it after realizing that my dad would feast on my fear. Also, I was beginning to like the idea of having Katie by my side in Black Fur.“I don’t want you to leave.” Elora’s whimpers pierced through my thoughts. She was clinging to Katie, but her eyes were on me, and I could see tears glinting within her bright orbs. “We are a family. We should stick together.”“Don’t be silly, Elora,” Ronald breathed softly and walked up to where Elora and Katie were standing. “We’ve talked about this, right? Katie and Davien have to leave, but they will be back before we know it.”“They don’t even know when they will return,” Elora countered, tears trickling down her small face as her eyes shift
Princess Katie Anne~~My feelings remained unchanged. I didn't want to leave my family, but neither did I want to be apart from my mate.However, I would have to sacrifice a few days with my family if that meant I could show Alpha Jarrett that I wasn't one to be messed with. I was no weak princess whom he could terrify.I was Katie Anne Flockhart, daughter of the powerful Aurelia Seer King Flockhart.Of course, I intended to show Alpha Jarrett that, but not before I made Davien mark me, even if I had to tie him down to get it done. I knew he could tell I was on a mission even before we entered the pool house that had become our home for the past three months."I expect a response from my dad by morning, but I better start packing before going to bed." Davien uttered as soon as I closed the main door behind me, telling me he would pack for me as well. "You can go to bed. I will join you as soon as I am done packing."Smooth.I mean, Davien's effort to avoid going to bed with me beca
DAVIEN~~Taking Katie with me to my family’s territory was like leading a sheep into a lion's den. Katie was a strong woman, but I wouldn’t want to test just how strong she was by endangering her life—the same life that my dad had threatened so many times in the past few months just to have his way.“Aside from that, Katie wouldn’t want to leave her family. She is tied to them,” Dolf said into my mind, agreeing with me.But the other people in the living room didn’t think the same way, and I couldn’t blame them. After all, none of them knew about my dad’s threats.“Can we stop cursing and express objections in a more polite manner?” Queen Aurelia chimed in, looking at Katie and me in particular.I nodded, but before I could speak, King Raiden uttered, raising his brows, “Why are you against Katie going with you? It’s the best solution.”All eyes turned to me, and I could feel my palms dripping with sweat. Do I tell them that my dad claims he can wipe out white wolves—the only clan
Princess Katie Anne ~~Hell no!Hell no! Hell fucking no!“You don’t have to. This is all a scheme to fish out the rebellious Alphas, but you don’t have to go back there,” I exclaimed, holding Davien’s gaze for a minute before my eyes shifted around the living room. I asked no one in particular, “Right? He doesn’t have to do this, right?”But no one responded.Everyone kept quiet as if they didn’t know what the text from Davien’s dad was all about.I mean, Alpha Jarrett had commanded my mate to return to the Black Fur pack for some unknown reason that I knew wouldn’t be good. I couldn’t let Davien go, not when we were just connecting on a deeper level.Not when my heart beat for him.And definitely not when I knew that being apart would drive my needy wolves crazy. In turn, my wolves would drive me crazier, and not to forget the hormones that have skyrocketed ever since the first time Davien made love to me.“It’s not a death sentence, Katie. Don’t you think you are reacting a litt
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~“Are you serious?” Camila asked after a few minutes of silence that must have made her realize that I wasn’t trying to be funny.I nodded, “Yes, I am, Mila. That letter has to be opened in five years when you turn eighteen years old.”The plan was simple—write letters to her on every birthday, and in each letter, I would tell her what I did the entire year. This particular letter contained how I found out she was my mate and everything I had to do so we could both have a normal life.I chose to do this because it was the only way I believed Camila would understand what had happened and why I had to do what I did. I didn’t want to risk losing our bond forever when she turned eighteen and hated me.“Exactly, Kyle. It’s five years away. Why give me a letter I can’t read for the next five years as a gift?”Of course, my brothers understood why, but they didn’t say a word, giving me the chance to say, “Because I am trying to teach you patience, Camila. Now do
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV~~While my family and Camila’s parents planned a surprise birthday party and forced me to be a part of it, I wanted to tell them that she would rather spend her birthday in a haven where books are unlimited and with a few friends.But they wouldn’t listen to me. That was why I let them plan the party, but that didn’t stop me from planning a different party for Camila.And of course, the venue we needed was my private library. Only a few people were invited. By "few," I meant Ronald, who was there because he wouldn’t miss his best friend's real birthday party; Kennedy, who still enjoyed reading; and Soraya, because she was the only female friend of Camila who wouldn’t spend the entire night trying to get my attention or that of my brothers, who weren’t even teenagers yet.We celebrated Camila by reading her favorite book, and soon it was time to gift her.Ronald took the lead, presenting a fancy box and saying, “You have been talking about these sneakers, so
Princess Katie Anne~~Three months went by in the twinkling of an eye.I had been training and had gotten better at using my spiritual energy. Although my physical strength was still so much better, my spiritual strength had grown strong enough for me to train confidently with Elora.Yeah, Elora, my little sister.She had rubbed it in my face a few times, but she was also a darling, helping me to train alongside the greatest trainers that I had been assigned to.Another thing I had achieved within the past three months was peace and happiness. I found all of that even though I now had to live away from my childhood home. I wouldn’t trade our little home for anything.I had come to love having a space that Davien and I could share despite my initial emotional outburst, and clearly, I wasn’t far enough away from my annoying siblings.“Right now, I want to be far away from everyone and break a few things,” Zoe seethed within me just as Davien’s scent hit my nostrils.My mate walked in
DAVIEN~~“I am sorry I undermined you before my family. Although that wasn't my intention, I did it regardless, and I am so sorry, Davien,” Katie said, her voice filled with sincerity even though we were lashing out at each other a few seconds ago.My chest rose and fell as if my heart were on the verge of stopping. I hated confrontations, and it was all because I had never gotten to speak my mind or express myself during any confrontation until now.I expressed myself, and Katie listened. She understood me. She set her emotions aside and chose to apologize to me.That made me feel like the luckiest man alive.I knew this would happen, and I might have been rehearsing the words I would say to Katie all day, even though I still couldn’t get my dad’s threat to kill her and the other white wolves out of my mind.Never had I been involved in politics. Until now, and I spent the whole day with Raiden and Aurelia. Yes, they finally made me call them by their names. After getting correcte
