I was walking through the garden when I heard hushed whispers. I stood still and strained my ears to hear what they were saying.“I heard she’s his mate, what do you think Lady Avery will do—"What?Tayna! She had told the others! She couldn’t be trusted.My heart clenched tightly, painfully upon th
Noreen’s pov;If there was one thing learned from my stay at the pack , it was that they were fun-loving people.After I walked out of the mansion with Mirito, I discovered a lot more about the pack.According to him, they took every event as an opportunity to throw a party, which of course was alwa
"Where are you taking her?" She demanded."Lady Noreen said we should take her to her room."She glared at me and I quickly averted my gaze."Take her to my room."I blinked rapidly, wondering who she was and why she looked oddly familiar.They began to walk away and she marched towards me.With eac
Noreen’s point of view;"It's all my fault—if only I hadn't spoken to her like that—I enraged her," I kept berating myself.Tayna shook her head. “No! She actually deserved it, but there are going to be problems. The Dowager won't let it slide, the Crestwood’s are not going to be happy either and ne
I clenched my fist to my side, making a firm resolve to myself.It was about a few hours later when I began to perceive the familiar scent and I stood up immediately. The Alpha!He had come for me! I wasn’t wrong!"Noreen!" There was an unrecognizeable expression on his face and I moved closer t
Alpha Harold’s pov;"How could you do that!" I glared at her and turned to leave.I was horrified and the only thing in my mind was saving Noreen.The commotion in the mansion had disrupted my online conference with other pack Alphas and I had quickly excused myself to go check what the noise was ab
"I am sorry about what happened to Avery, she is currently being attended to by our best healer who has assured us that she will be fine. Avery is a highly respected member of this pack, especially due to her numerous contributions and as the Alpha of this pack, I feel responsible for what happene
Noreen’s pov;I never thought that a day would come when I would actually consider Candace’s words, but at the moment, it was beginning to sound realistic.Pack politics was like that and I couldn’t defeat that. Even if the Alpha wishes to ne with me, it was going to be hard on us both.He could los
“Happy Anniversary!” Everyone in the room yelled as soon as they walked inside.“Aunt Queen!” Little Noreen ran towards Queen Noreen and She held her mid ways, hugging her. She was going to be three years in two months, but she was so smart that Noreen used to tell Candace that it was because she wa
Epilogue;Third person’s pov;Epilogue;Third person Pov;Three years laterAlpha king Harold and Queen Noreen both flung the covers over their heads and giggled as they breathed hard.“That was amazing,” She breathed out and giggled as she gazed into his eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.““Why?”“
“How touching,” I sneered, taking a slow step closer.Harold pulled her closer, away from me.“The dutiful mate protecting her cursed Alpha. Tell me, Noreen, does it feel good to play queen?”She didn’t reply. Instead, she clenched her fist tightly. “Leave now, Ian, while you still can.”I chuckled
Ian’s pov;I hadn’t heard from my mother in a long time, which was weird, considering the fact that we’ve been exchanging letters for a while now.I was glad that she understood me, glad that she had even helped me secretely.I was surprised when I heard that she was responsible for what happened t
Ian chuckled darkly as his eyes gleamed with hatred. "I’ve spent too long in your shadows, watching you take everything that should’ve been mine. The pack, the throne... even her." His gaze lingered on me and he smiled. I felt a wave of disgust. "You’ll never have any of it," Harold snapped. "Your
Noreen’s pov;The Name day and My coronation ceremony were moved to a later date and it was then that the Alpha revealed to me that he had seen a sorcerer who could break the hex, we didn’t need Ian to do that.We both agreed to have the both ceremonies after the curse had been broken, that way, it
There was also the precision with which it was executed... this wasn’t random. Someone inside the mansion had done this. Someone close to us. But who?Then my mind went back to the night I had seen someone who looked like Ian slip out of the Queen’s room.The thought that she could have been resp
Alpha Harold’s pov;I could hear the music from downstairs and could imagine the excitement on everyone’s faces. It was my son’s name day and although I couldn’t be there, I was celebrating on my own.I had promised Noreen that I was going to celebrate on my own, with a glass of wine and that was ex
Queen Margery joined us. “Do you think it’s related to the letter?” I had confided in her about the letter and she had told me to ignore it as it could be a prank.According to her, if anyone wants to take your son, they wouldn’t announce it.“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” I replied.Norman an
