/Axel POV/"For the last time, I am not interested, mother!" I sullenly said, wiping the corners of my lips, a frown starting to take over. The grip on my napkin tightened when I noticed the former Luna twist her lips.As expected, she did not take it well, abruptly standing up from her seat. I swallowed loudly, the vein in my head ticking, when I saw her plate. My mother hadn't bothered to take a bite of the roasted potatoes and steak or anything else for that matter.Tears brimmed in her eyes, a hand slapping over her lips while turning on her feet. I cursed under my breath."Mom! Please!""Please, what?!" She hiccuped, a tear sliding down her
Descending the stairs, I watched in acute interest as my entire family stood by the doorstep. Every year they didn't even bother to stay in the same room before ball night, making silly excuses. I wonder what bought this on? From my peripheral view, I saw Beth nudge my side, almost dragging me next to them."About time." My sister snickered, her hateful gaze settling on the pearls around my neck. Clicking her tongue, she crossed her arms together. "Why did you even bother with that? Just flash our guests since you are so desperate."I heard Lucas chuckle under his breath, his hateful gaze settling on my face. “Are you that eager to find a knot?”"All of you, be quiet now!" I heard the Luna hiss, her hands clasped together, the red lipstick making her teeth gleam. She straightene
As I lay in bed at night, I couldn't help but be plagued by thoughts of the obnoxious Alpha. My mind started spinning, fingers itching with the need to pull it over my head and let out a scream. How can anyone be so frustrating and narcissistic?Confining against the bed, I tried to let the softness of the mattress under and the darkness of the bedroom lull me into sleep. I urged my body to relax and sink into the endless night, but the image of fair, tall, smug Alpha kept me falling over the edge.Why did I feel these emotions towards him? What was about him that I could not stop thinking?I swung my legs off my bed and stumbled towards the lone window in my room. A cold gust of wind blew through the cracks, the clouds hiding t
A heavy blend of murmurs and whispers echoed around the room, grating against my skin. Why was this so controversial? I thought while roaming my eyes, teeth sinking in the bottom lip. From my peripheral view, I saw my uncle tense before rushing in my direction.Dread settled in the pit of my stomach, fearing rejection. I did not have a good impression on the Alpha, regret filling me. Why was I stranded with him of all Alphas?No! I cannot let him reject me no matter what. Most of them could afford waiting and not fear being rejected. Some even don’t follow the standard procedure and mate with others. This was my only chance to escape the Palace and experience all the things I had been dreaming of.&nbs
Something shifted, his words hanging in the air, almost taunting. My vision started getting blurry, fission of heat scorching in my belly. I opened my mouth, ready to fire back at him, when a whine tore past my lips.I felt hot and uncomfortable under his stare, a layer of oily skin making me hyper-aware of the weight and texture of my clothing, making the nerves prickle with the urge to jump him.“Princess Lana?” He sharply breathed, sensing the shift of my scent, eyes turning darker.I swallowed harshly against the tendril of arousal curling at the pit of my stomach, born from imagining what it would be like to have those broad shoulders c
"What?!" I exclaimed, sitting up in my bed, not caring about the covers slipping off my body. The sound made my head throb, a hand rushing to cradle it from the side. "Have they lost their mind?"The housekeeper twisted her lips. "You cannot blame them. It's the only way through which the Palace May save face if your heat incident gets out in public.""But..." I exhaled, rubbing my hands over my face, knees pulled together. I couldn't help but recall Axel's words from the night before. The Alpha was reluctant to accept me as his mate and looked prepared to reject me on the spot. "He doesn't want me, Beth. That's the reason he pulled me away from the crowd and in the gardens."Frustration bubbled in my stomach, fingers clutching at the ends of the duvet and picking at loose threads. "Why would the
What could he possibly want to say that he hadn't already? I bitterly thought under my breath. From the corner of my eyes, I saw my uncle hide a grimace on his face, barely managing a nod."That can be arranged."Axel cleared his throat as if sensing the hesitancy in the tone. "We will be in the Palace gardens."My uncle whooshed out a breath, raising the cup of tea to his mouth and nodding delightedly. Of course. He must be embarrassed due to the incident last night and didn’t want a repeat of that.“Alpha Axel, let me tell you, my daughter is thrilled to be betrothed to you,” My aunt cut in, almost gushing, while I resisted the urge to flinch. Thrilled was not
