Alpha King Keiran.With the sun's first rays spreading accross the sky, emerged from the dense forest, my body still pulsating with the remnants of my wolf form. The transformation back to my human self was always a jarring experience, especially now that it was becoming increasingly hard to control the beast in me. As I stepped onto the familiar path that led to the palace, my mind was consumed with thoughts of Evelyn.Even in my wolf form, I couldn't escape her presence. Xavier, my wolf had become enamored by her, his senses heightened whenever she was near. And I, the Alpha King, found myself unable to resist the pull she had on me. It was a dangerous game we played, a secret relationship that I, for the life of me didn't understand why it was going on in the first place.Especially when I saw her in her wolf form last night her sleek silver fur shimmering under the moonlight. She was a vision of grace and power, a reminder that she was still princess in her and a mighty one at tha
Amaris.After the Alpha King's pronouncement, the festival began and cheers and jubilations resounded in the whole arena.The Moon Goddess festival was in full swing, and the palace grounds were alive with the sounds of laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses. People from all corners of the kingdom had gathered to celebrate, their faces adorned with joy and excitement. The air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of delicious food, and the night sky sparkled with the light of a thousand lanterns.I stood at the edge of the bustling arena, taking in the vibrant scene before me. The festival had been a long-awaited event, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness as I watched the people around me immerse themselves in the festivities. Couples twirled on the dance floor, their laughter echoing through the night, while others gathered around tables, sharing stories and raising their glasses in celebration.As I scanned the crowd, my eyes landed on Evelyn, her radiant smile l
Alpha king keiran.The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a soft, ethereal glow over the grand arena. The air was filled with anticipation as the second night of the Moon Goddess festival approached. With the first night being a splendid success, everybody was looking forward to the next one. This particular night held a special significance, for it was the night of prophecy, when the Moon Goddess would speak through her chosen priestess and guide the lives of the werewolves. I couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety, though I was well-acquainted with the rituals of the prophecy night. The moon goddess had never failed us, and her guidance had led our kind through countless generations. Tonight was no different; the moon goddess's message would light our path, just as it always had.Standing in front of the mirror in my private chambers, adjusting the intricate details of my royal attire. The deep blue fabric of my ceremonial robe shimmered in the candlelight, adorned with s
Amaris.I was busy enjoying the festivities that was going on in the arena when a strong arm grabbed me from it, pulling me away from the gathering, leading me to the hallways of the palace. I gasped in surprise, my wide eyes flying up to meet Ethan's back and an excited feeling bubbled up from inside me.A smile hit my lips, my heart skipping a beat. "Hey there!" I muttered whene we finally found a quiet spot, away from all the bustling of the arena. He glanced down at me, a genial smile spreading accross his lips."I managed to sneak out of my post so I could come here. I didn't want tonight to pass without seeing you." He rushed out quickly, his huge arms settling in my waist as he pulled me closer to himself. A chuckle escaped my lips as I placed my hands on his chest, drinking in the sight of him, my heart racing with happiness. "How have you been?" He asked, running a hand through my hair."Well, I've been hanging in there, missing you." I said, adding the last bit quietly. His
Evelyn."Let it be known that Evelyn Nightshade, the princess whom you have made your slave, is your second chance mate." The Moon goddess priestress announced and shocked gasps filled the arena, mine included. I stared at the Moon goddess with wide eyes, disbelief coursing through my veins. That... That couldn't be possible. There's no way it is! How can the Alpha King be my mate and me, is second chance mate!?Confusion and disbelief washed over me, mingling with a flicker of despair. How could this be? How could the Moon Goddess decree such a fate? The weight of the prophecy settled upon my shoulders, and I knew that my path was forever altered. The alpha king, the man who has caused me more pain than I could ever describe was destined to be by my side throughout my life?I glanced at him and he also had a shocked expression on, though his was more controlled as he glared at the priestress. My heart began to pound and I could feel myself growing faint, my hands clammy with sweat."
Evelyn.Even though the Moon Goddess Festival was a success, I couldn't relate to it due to the tumultuous emotions the prophecy had ignited in me. I Dreaded the Alpha king's summon with the whole of my being, but I also knew I couldn't avoid it either. Despite this, I resolved within myself that I won't let it go down without a fight.The third night had just been concluded and everyone was going back to their respective home. I had buried myself in my work, trying to push such disturbing thoughts to the back of my mind with little success. Though Amaris had been a wonderful friend, keeping me company whenever I needed it, this was one of the moments when I needed to be utterly alone. I continued to work, my anger and resentment for the Alpha King growing by the second.As if by cruel fate, a guard approached me, an impassive look on his face. "The Alpha King has summoned you to his chambers. Do not keep him waiting." He spoke curtly and my heart dropped to the ground, shattering to
Alpha king Kieran.I watched her–Evelyn, get dragged away like a puny little criminal while my wolf trashed and howled inside of me, tearing down my steel-like control, my body on fire. Pain, something that had been a constant in my life since my first mate's death had tripled to insurmountable degrees after her rejection. I closed my eyes, dragging in air into my squeezed out lungs. I couldn't focus on this now.I knew it would happen, no one in their right mind would choose to accept something like me. It was what I wanted, yet... Why did me hearing those words from her mouth, bring me so much heartache? Was it because, a part of me hoped things would be different this time around? An incredulous laughter broke out of my lips even as tears stung my eyes. I was clearly asking for too much.Moments after she had been taken away, another guard came in, carrying an air of urgency around him as he kept his head bowed. I raised a brow at him, unwilling to speak just yet. He glanced at me
Amaris.When I heard the news that Duke Ethan had been gravely injured from his duty, I didn't know what to think. At first I felt fear, then despair and finally, guilt. Fear because something worse could have happened during the attack, despair because he'd come back hurt even when he promised he wouldn't and guilt because if we had marked earlier and his full strength had returned, this wouldn't happen in the first place. I immediately went to meet him, my heart in my throat as I approached the doctor's room. With a hesitant knock, I pushed the door open and peeked in, my gaze landing on Ethan who lay sprawled on the bed, grabbing his bandaged abdomen, his face contorted in pain.His gaze found mine and a look of relief crossed his face. Tears sprang into my eyes a d without thinking, I rushed to his side, my heart racing in my chest. "What happened!?" I rushed out, my voice trembling. "Why are you hurt?! Who did this!?" He held my shaking hands, giving me a small smile. "It's okay
