I sighed as I looked at his side of the bed. I did my morning routine and went to the library. I had my breakfast there and spent the most part of the day there.
I was dozing off when I heard footsteps. Since I woke up today, my senses has been sharp. The footsteps got closer and Jairus came out. He stood in front of the couch and if I didn't know better, I'll say he looked nervous.
"I'm sorry" I shrugged my shoulders.
"It doesn't matter anymore"
"It does. You were trying to help us and we just messed things up"
"It's fine. I shouldn't
I straightened out my dress again as I waited nervously behind the large doors. I had spent the last three hours with the maids getting ready for the ball and the outcome was marvelous.The trumpet sounded and the large doors were thrown open. I took in a deep breath to calm my nerves and pit a smile on my face and entered the ball room.A loud chorus of 'all hail the queen' was heard before they dropped to their knees. I looked up at Thane seated in all his glory on his throne. I held his eyes as I walked down to him.I curtsied before him and he stood up and took my hands. He helped me to my throne beside his. The crowd stood up and everybody began to mingle."You look breathtaking" I blushed at him."You don't look bad yourself"A small group of people came up to us and bowed."I'm Galen, sub alpha of the south. We pledge our allegiance to King Alcius a
I dropped the book I was reading back on the table. What Thane had said yesterday refused to leave my mind. I couldn't possibly believe that they weren't my parents.For as long as I remembered, I had always been with them. After Thane's bombshell, I wanted to go see them and ask them about it but he refused. Rather, they would be coming here today so I could find out the truth.Right now, I wondered if I really wanted to find out the truth, if my heart could take it. What if they really weren't my parents? Who are my real parents. Did they want me?I sighed in frustration and laid my head on the table. Damia appeared from behind one of the shelves, her head bowed as usual."Your parents are here" I hurried out of the library quickly, down the s
I looked at Mama confused. The forest lady was my mother? I turned to her, my eyes questioning but she looked blankly at me. Thane gave a signal and the guards dragged her out."Where are you taking her. I need to talk to her""She's to be tried for treason""Why? She saved me in the forest""She's responsible for Catalinas death" he stormed off. I walked after him, calling him but he ignored. Jairus held my arms to stop me from going after him. He led me to the garden where there was a swing seat."Ask me""I thought Blithe killed her""Blithe was sent to kill her""She died over four centuries ago, witches don't live that long. There has to be a mistake""Not one as powerful as Bronte. She's one of the most powerful and one of the few that can live as long as a werewolf" Bronte. That was the name of my mother.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt better. I wanted to go to Bronte's hut but Thane wouldn't let me. He kept on going on about how I visited the dungeons and how I had not gotten my punishment.He further restricted my movement and confined me to my room for a whole week.The day of my heat was three days away and I had become more antsy. Thane had suggested we go to his private cabin secluded in the forest.We were to leave later today and he had forbidden me from stepping out of the room because my scent had become stronger and more alluring and he didn't want to kill any male today.Still tossing on he bed trying to sleep, I heard sounds at the window. I looked downstairs and saw Lily struggling with somebody. I couldn't see the face of
The two days had gone in a blur with I and Thane spending time together. Although he still had to work but, it wasn't all the time.We played games to pass time and he thought me how to throw a knife. We talked about stuffs and he was extremely affectionate.I knew he had not forgotten his ex mate but I was certain he felt something for me. I know I did feel something for him. In fact I had fallen hard. I couldn't explain how I felt but I was happy whenever I saw him and felt butterflies whenever he smiled at him.I wanted to wake up beside him every morning and hopefully have a family together.I was starting to feel feverish but the heat had not yet started. I had a cold shower and put on a singlet with shorts. I went to the Kitchen but there was no sign of Thane.I went out on the porch and called out his name but there was no sign of Thane. I went back to the kitchen to get some water
THANE'S POVI hurried back to the cabin hoping I got there in time for her heat. Her scent was faint. I went to the room we shared and checked the wardrobe but her stuff was gone.I figured she must have left the cabin but I was worried. She didn't know the area or the way back to the castle.I mind linked Noir and he confirmed that Jairus had brought her back. meddlesome pup. I shifted into my beast and ran back to the capital.I sent Carlyn back to the castle while I went to the cabin. I went up straight to our room. When I opened the door, Carlyn and Esme were sitting together and didn't seem to notice."I'm sorry I kept Thane with me all through yesterday" Esme nodded but didn't say anything."It's just that yesterday was Catalina's birthday. goddess bless her soul. She loved to celebrate it and so even after her death, Thane still cele
"Do you still love her" I asked. He sat unmoving looking at me not saying anything. I guess I had my answer. I stood up and he held me back."I do" I nodded looking down at my feet so he wouldn't see the tears in my eyes. Hearing it made my heart break even more."But I love you too" I looked up at him and stared into his eyes, searching for any hint he might be lying. His eyes looked sincere."You do?" I asked unsurely."Yes. I love you. I love everything about you and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much I do" I choked back a sob as he held me in his arms."Don't cry. I hate to see tears in your eyes""I love you
Things were going well. I was really happy. And in love. I smiled giddily as I put on my dress. After much persuasion Thane had finally let me visit Bronte's hut but I had to go with Noir.He stayed outside while I explored the inside of the hut. I didn't want to take anything out of the hut so I read the books there.I had found out a few things about my mother. Her name was Circe. There was no record about my father's name except that he was a werewolf. The book talked about a prophecy but I couldn't understand it.After three days, I was satisfied with what I had learnt about my mother and figured there was no need to search deeper. I remembered Bronte's words from the dungeon.I took one final look around the room. This was the last time I would be coming here. I went outside and saw Thane outside with Noir. This was the first time he had come here. He turned to me and smiled. I smiled and jogged to wh
Five years laterI groaned in annoyance as I tried so hard to find my offspring. Born as a Lycan with witch abilities, the child was a total chaos.Iraia Sparta came into the world without a fuss. The blood had really helped and the delivery was smooth but I've decided to wait until my body is ready before a bear another but Thane is insistent on getting me with child."Iraia baby. Please come and have a bath" I nearly cried now. My enhanced smell couldn't help me because she had the gift of masking her smell.I felt a comforting hand around me and I sighed. "What's the matter?""It's your child. You promised to warn her to stop this""I did""No you didn't. She's wrapped you around her tiny witchly fingers" I heard giggling and saw the little devil in her brothers hands."Thank you so much Jairus. May your children not bother you
Thane asked me to go up to my room with Nala and rest while they went to sort the problem. I didn't argue because I was in too much shock and I didn't want to watch any gory scene.Apparently Roman wanted me dead because I was a half-breed, Anstice wanted revenge because his daughter was 'killed' because of me. The maid was just a pawn in their games but she was going to be punished and the witch didn't want my child born.They spent most of the day in the dungeon, torturing the criminals. When Thane came back to our room, he was freshly showered and I was thankful because I didn't want to see blood on him.He joined me and pulled me into his chest. "It's over?""It's over" I kissed his hands and thanked him because I felt at peace now. There was no m
I could already feel his rage through the bond. His smell was the first I noticed before his blazing eyes met mine. He walked to me and quickly inspected me for any injuries.I touched his arm. "I'm fine" he nodded and went over to Noir and he filled him in."Who gave the Luna a drink in my name" his loud voice boomed. Everywhere was dead silent and it only seemed to increase his rage. He released is dominance and all werewolves and humans fell to the floor.Noir and Valdus seemed to be struggling to stay upright while the others groaned in pain. I whimpered as I was not left out. He turned to me and released his hold on them.He walked to me and carried me in his arms and out of the great hall. Valdus and Noir followed behind us.
"I want it out" want what out? I rubbed my eyes and sat up in bed. Kyros and Thane looked at me as they stopped talking."Want what out? What happened to me?" Kyros looked from me to Thane and to me again. Thane stormed out of the room slamming the door.Kyros cleared his throat and moved closer to me but still kept a safe distance."You're pregnant""I am? How did that happen? My heat passed""Not really. The first day is the most intense but the heat doesn't end on the first day"Ohhh. That was it? Thane seemed mad. "Is that why Thane is upset? He does want the baby?""The baby is a Lycan just like his father and you're human""But the mark..""The mark cannot change you completely. And even if it could it's still recent. Your body is not ready for a Lycan baby yet. It'll take a couple of years or decades before you're r
