Author’s POV Levi caressed the back of his neck to be sure he heard her right. He knew his sister had a dark side to her, but he never considered her to be this ambitious. When they were younger, she had snuffed the life out of a dog they had in the house, she claimed it barked too much. And went ahead to tear its guts out in her wolf form. Everyone thought she was just a child, but he knew she was just pure evil. “Are you toying with me right now?” He queried. Freya’s face remained still. “Did I sound like I was making a joke?” He looked back at the door. “Do you know what would become of you if anybody hears you?” “It's why I choose to speak to you here in my chamber. No one can hear us.” “How do you intend to go about this?” “First, you have to promise to keep this a secret and support me.” “I need to know what I stand to gain and how would you know if this would work out or not. Also, I need to know how you intend to snatch a throne that doesn’t belong to you. Everyone kno
Ronan’s POV “I am still not confident that this is the right thing to do, Aunt Celine. Please take care of yourself. I will write you from time to time.” I said holding up her hands. She sniffed back a tear and embraced me. “Please be careful, Ronan. You are surrounded by enemies. I will keep praying to the goddess to protect you. Make sure to protect Fiona too. You are all she has.” I nodded, patting her back. “I have heard all you said, Aunt. You should go now.” I urged, helping her into the carriage. As I watched it gallop away a part of me felt unsteady. Maybe I should send some guards after her to ensure she arrives at her new home. But at the same time, I don’t want to attract too much attention to her. It is safer. As I turned to walk away, Timon cleared his throat next to me. I stopped in my tracks. “Is anything the matter?” I inquired. With both of his hands stretched out in front of him, he squinted his eyes. “Why don’t you tell me if something is going on? Ever since
Author’s POV Celine stared intensely at the locket in her hand while the carriage moved ahead. It has a picture of her and her precious child. Her end was near, she could feel it. Getting married would be the worst mistake of her life. She never should have allowed it. However, her desperation had gotten her into the situation she now finds herself. All of her peers were mated and some had given birth to many children. Celine on the other hand couldn’t seem to find anyone to mate her. Not because she lacked beauty or character. The goddess just seemed to have left her out of the happy living. Her father kept assuring her things would work out. But she could no longer take the mockery of her friends. On one of her market visits, she stumbled on the youngest prince who looked extremely handsome and devilish at the same time. Celine’s wolf was against the desire that she harbored, but she didn’t care. Her promise to herself was to make sure to get herself a mate who would practically
Fiona’s POV“Do you need me to help you massage your feet?” Isla asked. I shook my head holding back the painful groan stuck in my throat. I had a bad dream about Celine which is a rare occurrence. I like to believe that I sleep quite peacefully. Ever since she bid farewell, even Rin has been uncomfortable. I can only hope she gets to her destination safely. She already assured to write me. “You look like you are in a lot of pain. I should go to the doctor quickly.” She suggested. “No, Isla. I think I just need to stretch my body.” I mused standing up with a bit of struggle. It's been a while since I shifted and had a good run in the woods. However, my body seems to have other plans in mind. Moreover, Ronan hasn’t had much time to help me get by. He has been quite busy. I miss him so much. At the same time, it is probably for the best. I don’t want the Luna Queen feeling left out just as Isla had mentioned before. I have less than four months to go. The time is near. Isla reached
Ronan’s POV Freya didn’t look too pleased that I called Timon alongside her to talk. She kept whining about how I could have requested for us to meet differently. She never had a problem with it before, I don’t know what changed now. It is probably that time of the month again. She is usually uptight and cranky whenever it is time. I had a lot of thinking to do last night and I didn’t come to resolve it until the early hours of this morning I knew that I had finally made headway in all that has had me confused in the last few months. “Why is he so late? Keeping the Alpha and Luna waiting.” She inquired. “I am sorry about that. I asked him to drop off something. He would be here soon.” I assured observing her face. “Is everything okay, my love? You haven’t been acting much like yourself for a while now.” She stared blankly at me. “Don’t I have the room to just be by myself?” “That is not what I meant Freya. I was surprised to find you asleep in your chambers last night.” I said.
Ronan’s POV Calling an impromptu meeting makes every member of the council quite agitated and they might belittle the juicy information I am now willing to share. Which is why I waited patiently for the next meeting to share a piece of my mind. After discussing the matters of the day. I cleared my throat causing everywhere to fall silent. “Elders, ministers, and every member of the Mastorian kingdom. I have some joyous news to share with everyone and I hope you will be as happy as I am. Myself and the Luna Queen are expecting a child in less than four months from now.” I announced keeping my eyes steady for their reactions. And I saw it clearly, the shocks on their faces couldn’t be hidden. The most surprising of them all is my uncle, his face was devoid of any emotion. I have to give it to Aunt Celine for being so amazing at keeping secrets. I would get an earful after this but I can bet he would be happy to hear it. “Congratulations, Your Majesty.” Everyone chorused and they all
Author’s POVCallum hissed continuously like a spiteful snake. His wolf growled restlessly. All of his entire body can’t keep still. He probably should have done on a counter-attack on Ronan and not spare him at all. He felt humiliated in front of the council when Ronan announced the coming of his child. He had hoped it would be kept a secret until it is all done. He held tightly onto the glass in his hand before slamming it against the wall in anger. Likewise, he was beginning to regret his decision to trust Freya. She didn’t tell him Ronan would be making such a big move. With his announcement, the entire kingdom would be rooting for him. Which means any direct harm to the Alpha King would lead to a revolt from the people and anyone who takes his place. He grabbed a fistful of his hair and growled like a scarred animal. Just then, the door of his study opened abruptly with a disheveled looking Freya under a cape. Her eyes were swollen like she had been crying. She took the cape of
Ronan’s POV I couldn’t stop the scoff that kept leaving my nostrils. Freya has a lot of explaining to do and I am not going to take it lightly with her. She destroyed everything that could be ruined in the room and to make matters worse she didn’t return to the palace last night. I am not worried because I know for sure that she is with her brother. A queen isn’t supposed to leave the palace unless she is on official duty, but it appears my queen cares nothing about the rules that guide us as rulers. I am so angry that I worry about what I might do when I see her. “Why not stop thinking all about yourself for once and put yourself in Freya’s shoes?” Dion said in an odd tone. It's almost as if he isn’t certain of whose side to be on. But he couldn’t hold himself back from supporting his mate. I hissed. “How is this about myself? The Luna Queen acted irrationally and lost control of her temper. How is that a good thing?” “It isn’t a good thing that is sure. But you should understan
