Chapter 27

Alpha Damon's POV

"Who were they?" I asked Hugh as we walked towards my room.

"I am yet to confirm who the attack was from, my lord. All I know is whoever wanted you dead must have gone to great lengths to achieve his goal. I'm glad you're safe."

"I'm glad too. The imbeciles never had a chance."

"You say you were in the girl's room all the while?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Hugh walked in on me earlier that morning, interrupting my moment with Zara. Flashes of her shapely body under the shower, with water dripping off her, overtook my mind even now as I discussed matters of urgency with my beta.

"I was and I'm thankful I did not take your advice. I may have been dead if I stayed in my room with those treacherous guards right outside."

Hugh's stoic face softened at my words. He was a huge man, taller than myself and bigger, at least in human form. His expression showed no emotions most of the time, causing him to earn the reputation of second only to me in ruthlessnes

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 28

    Chapter 28Somewhere in the Crescent moon pack,“Welcome back, Riana,” the old man sitting comfortably on his golden throne said to the young woman approaching him. She walked in the straight path dividing rows of seats and leading to the throne of the alpha of the Crescent moon pack.“The human world is beautiful, father,” the young woman proceeded to her father’s outstretched arms.“I missed you my dear.”“I missed you father but it has only been a week. You can not keep treating me like I am some child. I am twenty, a young woman now.”“That you are but you are still my child and it is my job to keep you safe.”“Is that why you locked me up in this village, away from the world for my entire life? Away from the humans, away from the other packs, even my betrothed,” she had a dreamy expression as she spoke the word, “betrothed.” Her honey brown eyes glistened with a light that was not there earlier. She was already getting lost in her own imaginations before her father’s words called

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 29

    Chapter 29Zara’s POV.The only place rumors travel faster than light is the blood moon palace, across hallways, in the corridors, balconies. Everywhere there was life, there was talk.The news of Alpha Damon spending the night was all over the place before noon. Maids, guards, gardeners, cooks, even Lady Rose knew.That morning after Alpha Damon walked in on me in the shower and the interruption from the knock on the door, I planned to spend the rest of the day alone, in the room given to me but everybody else had other plans.“Can I come in?” came a voice at the door. It was familiar, a woman’s voice, a lady’s voice.I knew I should have locked that door, I thought, as the door made way to none other than the woman in charge of the household, Lady Rose herself.Of course she did not wait to be told to come in. The woman basically ran the place.“Come in,” I said effortlessly and sarcastically, hoping she got the message that she was invading my privacy.“How are you?” Her question w

    Chapter 30Xavier’s POVSix days of rest was more than refreshing, it was maddening. Having to sit around the house, eat and go right back to sleep was a routine I could adhere to. My only friend now that Kraken was away was Nick. Nick became my only source of entertainment whenever Kraken was away on a mission since we were kids. Him and the television in my room that I barely ever turned on. I am not complaining about Nick’s company but he never had an ear for instructions.He had a habit of doing everything he was told not to, like walking on my bed and ransacking the kitchen. The entire palace was tired of Nick.There were times I considered training him but once a naughty little dog, always a naughty dog, even now he was much older.The big, brown ball of fur that was Nick was over ten years old. His overgrown fur and weight made it difficult for him to move around the house as easily as he used to when he was much younger.“You are going to kill that dog with food one of these

    Chapter 31Xavier's POV"Wait! Master Xavier! You can't just leave," Ana screamed across the hall.But it was useless, her attempts to stop me from going to see this new girl that every servant talks about. I had more than a reason now, I think. She may have been hurt from the attack last night. I'm sure my father could handle himself, besides I'm probably the last person he wants to see right now, considering the attack may have been directly from the craziest alpha of them all, Alpha Zoran of the moonlight pack, the man I paid a peace visit to.If it was Alpha Zoren that masterminded the attack then I may as well avoid father for my whole life because he would never let me hear the end of it. I was barely praised the last time. What am I saying? I was not praised at all. My welcome hug was replaced with an attack from my own father. I hastened my steps to evade the persistent little omega that trailed behind. She was picking up the pace, almost running to keep up with my much long

    Chapter 32Alpha Damon's POV"Xavier? What are you doing here?" "I was going to ask you the same thing. I heard you were attacked last night," Xavier's eyes told a different tale than that of concern for me. He seemed more interested in the door behind me than the answer to his question. "Yes, I'm fine. You did not have to come all the way here for that." It was suspicious that he would want to see me after the last time we spoke and how it ended. All his actions pointed to an ulterior motive."I'm not surprised you didn't bother to tell me." Again, his words lacked conviction, they seemed empty, like he couldn't care less about my response.I couldn't care less about his true motives either. "I'm not doing this with you right now." The door standing behind me was the only thing separating Xavier and me from Zara and for some reason I did not want him to see her."Why are you outside here? You should be in your chambers, resting after what happened yesterday," his piercing, blue eye

    Chapter 33Alpha Damon’s POV "Can I come in?" This was the third time I was asking to be let into a room in my own house. Normally, I would be furious, enraged by the imbecile who left me waiting, I hated waiting, it was right there on my list of things I despised, but this was no imbecile. Thoughts of the night before still ravaged my mind, filling it with highlights of a truly delightful experience."Open up. It's me, Ms Smith" What a stupid thing to add, "it's me?" I regretted my choice of choices right after I said it. Of course my voice already gave away the fact that it was me.I barged into the room after about five minutes standing outside, exposed to the eyes and ears of the palace.The room was dark, a lot darker than when I left earlier in the day. The windows were shut and the curtains were down, leaving the sensation of night despite the blinding afternoon sun of the day.It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the darkness and when they did, I saw the striking figure

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 34

    Chapter 34Zara’s POVI should have ran when he walked in. I should have left the room as soon as he started walking towards me but I did not. I watched as the man who I was supposed to hate more than anybody else, more than my father, sister, stepmother and step brother try to comfort me. I sat silent and willing to the wolf that drank up my blood and the worst part is, I did not hate it. Who am I kidding? I enjoyed it. I wanted more, more of his tongue, his warm skin rubbing unconsciously against mine as he consumed more and more of my body.I suppressed the last hint of common sense that warned me to push him away and just went along with the flow. It was like his proximity melted away every bad feeling, every doubt. He was the one for me, my wolf cried. She loved the sexual tension, his masculinity, she was drawn to Alpha Damon and his seductive charm. Blair’s weakness for Damon threw me off balance, invaded my thoughts and synced her feelings with mine, making me crave for him

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 35

    Chapter 35.Xavier’s POV.Walking away from my father, I realized that I still had not gotten a chance to talk about the details of the peace meeting with him. As much as I would have loved to avoid any conversations related to that, considering he was just attacked and the culprits had still not been found, it was mandatory to report all findings from a peace meeting back to the alpha.I guess I had more pressing issues to worry about, Riana Park would be coming to the palace and our wedding was imminent, not that I did not know this but I expected a bit of a delay. It had been at least five years since I saw Riana. It was the summer before high school, my father decided to grant the Crescent moon pack his unannounced audience and he took me along with him.“Crescent moon village is a beautiful place,” I remember thinking as I stepped past the barricaded gates to the pack’s abode for the first time. Human technology flourished in the pack, evident at first in the guards who used wa

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 105

    Chapter 105Xavier’s POVI watched in fear as Riana left. She said thank you and just left. Her back turned to me, exposing her magnificent body. I knew she knew something, but not enough to conclude or figure out that I was planning an escape.There was something about the way she said thank you, the way she walked in and walked away so quickly. Her eyes had lost their light. They looked like two empty spheres in her wide eye sockets.She didn’t press hard when she asked if I loved her. She didn’t push herself toward me. I found it strange that she never asked for more sex after that day. She became an entirely different person. Changed. I should’ve worried more but I didn’t. I closed my eyes to it because I believed that anything keeping her away from me was a good thing.I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care at all, but I shoved that feeling aside because it was a distraction.That evening, I happened to be outside my room far from it. Thoughts of the wedding suffocated me. How easi

    Chapter 104Xavier's POV“She knows!” Lucas burst into my room saying. It was evening when he came. Light was slowly leaving the sky as day transitioned to night. His face held worry in a way that warned onlookers not to look away—not to take his dreadful expression for granted.I was immediately alarmed by this. “What’s wrong?” I asked. The huge man was not much of a talker, I knew from the moment I met him, three days ago. I mean that I really met him three days ago—he had always been around, but we never had any need to speak to each other until we did.His head was balding but he still let it grow out, even though it showed at the trimming edges that formed deep cups that ate into the sides. It was only a matter of years,maybe a year,until all of his hair was gone, or at least most of it.I kept looking at his hair while we spoke, while I told him what I wanted him to do.“I just need you to give these to her. Nothing more,” I said to him. This was three days ago, while he was on

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 103

    Chapter 103Riana's POVThe shameless look in Brownie’s eyes cleared any doubts I had before. This was her. This whole thing was her plan, her doing. She profited off my squabble with Zara like kings and country rulers profited by selling weapons to warring countries.Did I regret telling her she could have the dress? A slight moment of second guessing, rethinking my hasty decision to trust this scam of a girl with having any reasonable information. Potent weapons are sold by crafty leaders for future patronage, it was a business, just like my interaction with Brownie. She needed to be trusted for future deals, if there would be any, so she would offer only the best, most reliable news to me. This was my reasoning, my consolation as I pondered her trustworthiness.“He slipped a piece of paper between the door and a hand reached out to take it from him. No doubt the girl’s hand,” Brownie said, and I wondered why she referred to Zara that way. “The girl,” she said, and it angered me. I

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 102

    Chapter 102.Riana’s POV.Two days until the wedding. I have forced myself to remain quiet and imposed sanity on my raging mind.Two weeks feel like forever when you are stuck in your room with thoughts of a man you are to marry and the woman trying to take him from you.Silence, even though my body ached for adventure and my heart longed for the extermination of a certain person. I have never felt such hate, such anger and jealousy because of a person, not even to the man that raped me as a child.My emotions towards him were conflicting to say the least. I do not know how I feel about the man that harassed me, tore my clothes and opened me up to a world I have come to enjoy. Maybe enjoyment is an overstatement because the thrill that comes with not being tied down to a man was exciting but at the same time the pleasure was satiable unfulfilling.I want to be tied down. I want to be loved by someone, by Xavier. Only two days now.Today is like any other day for the last two weeks, ex

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 101

    Chapter 101Zara's POVThe intruder pushed again and the door shook but it was hinged too tight to be moved too far from its fixed point. I was too afraid to ask who it was so instead I crouched down on the floor and waited for the intruder to tire himself out and leave. I hoped he would leave.The knocking continued and after a minute or two I knew that he would not go away. Could it be that Alpha Damon was back to inflict more pain or he was going to finish me off properly this time?Each time the handle of the door moved, I felt my heart almost leave my chest. Like I was naked, I felt exposed. The only thing that separated me from the intruder was a door, a relatively small, wooden bathroom door."Open up Zara. It's me," the voice behind the door announced. I know that soothing low pitched voice. I'd recognise it anywhere. Its lustre was distinguishable even in the midst of confusion. Xavier's voice was calming.I opened the door, relieved to see him standing before me because part

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 100

    Chapter 100Zara's POV"Where is it?" Loud footsteps came before the thunderous voice announced itself in the room and the tall, dark man appeared before me. A sense of danger immediately engulfed me. His deep blue eyes were marked with a hint of boiling red rage."Where have you hidden it?" He repeated himself, a rarity for the alpha of the Bloodmoon pack. His rage was apparent but something lay beneath it, masked and well hidden by the anger but I spotted it. It was one thing I knew too well, fear.Underneath the guise of anger was an intensifying fear. Alpha Damon was afraid. I was afraid. This foreign feeling would no doubt bring with it unpredictable actions. I had never seen Alpha Damon like this, I did not know what to expect, not like I did all the other times he burst in with rage but something was different about him this time, more dangerous."You better tell me where you have kept it," he said and started walking closer towards me. My heartbeat immediately quickened as he

  • Double Mate For The Princess   Chapter 99

    Chapter 99Xavier's POVI shed the false bravado as soon as she left. The truth is I was even more whimpering that she was. I hate to admit the truth, which is the fact that I cower before my father, the man who had been raised high and mighty by the exaggerated stories, endless tales that Lady Rose told of him, of their past together.She said, "our past," when she referred to her and my father's shared experiences, like there was something more to it.I felt pretentious. I asked Zara to put her faith in me. I asked for her trust when I was not even sure of my plan. How could I expect to help somebody else when I could not even help myself. All these years living under my father's wing, under his watchful eye, I had never defied him.I should blame aunt Rose for my compliant behaviour. I like to believe that she was the one that kept me in check."He has his reasons," she would say, making excuses for his unfatherly actions or, "give it time. He'll come around." Her words barricaded

    Chapter 98Zara's POVA jab, loud shuffling through books, clothes, possessions, hasty movements. I immediately get disturbed by these. Unconsciously, my heartbeat quickens and my body is reminded of fear. My father is rushing towards me with his hands raised, it strikes me. I can never escape that fear.Alpha Damon is back in the room. He does not look happy. I did not expect him to be. I am just happy that I made it back to the room before he got back.More movement. He is searching for something, rummaging endlessly through his belongings. I dare not to ask, I dare not disturb his search so I sat quiet, frozen. My mind drifted to earlier in the day, with Xavier.He whispered his plan to me, as though we were not alone and someone could sneak up behind us as he spoke. I liked the feel of his breath against my ear."That's it?" I asked, unsatisfied by what he had told me. "What next? We can't possibly..."He raised his finger to my lips and stopped me from talking. "I'll tell you whe

    Chapter 97Zara's POVTime existed no more. Seconds, maybe hours, had gone by since I came to Xavier's room. I did not care. Everything was perfect.Xavier lay next to me, quiet and motionless for a while. His fingers had been stroking the side of my cheek very softly and slowly."I love you," he whispered in my ear. Our bodies were mingled under his sheets, just like I had imagined him with Riana.His words sent shivers down my spine. I felt as every syllable travelled from my ear to the rest of my body. Love? Too soon? I barely knew Xavier Elord. There was an undeniable connection between us but that was it. It did not change the fact that I met him a few weeks ago. I did not say it back. Awkwardness and silence lingered in the air, until, like a rotten smell, it dissipated.I looked at him to notice that he was not waiting for a reply, he was not even looking at me. He appeared to be sleeping. His face is peaceful and begging to be left alone."I have a plan to get us out of all t
