Prince Simon’s point of viewAs the moon bathed the garden in its gentle glow, my heart swelled with love and contentment as I shared this special moment with my daughter, Athena. She was a ray of sunshine in my life, a precious gift that brought joy and purpose to my days.We sat together on a rustic wooden bench, surrounded by the fragrant blooms of the garden. Athena’s little hand rested in mine, her eyes wide with innocence and curiosity. She eagerly began to tell me about her day at school, her voice filled with excitement and animated gestures.“Daddy, guess what?” she exclaimed, her voice a melodic symphony. “Today, we learned about colors, and I drew a picture of a rainbow. It had all the colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple!”I couldn’t help but smile at her enthusiasm, my heart swelling with pride at her accomplishments. “That’s wonderful, my sweet Athena,” I replied, my voice filled with warmth. “I’m so proud of you. You’re becoming quite the little artist.”A
Prince Simon’s point of viewAs I sat in the tranquil embrace of the palace garden, surrounded by nature’s beauty, I found myself gazing up at the vast expanse of the starry sky. Each twinkling light held a story, a reminder of the journey that had led me to this moment.My thoughts wandered back to my parents, their unwavering love and guidance shaping the person I had become. Their voices echoed in my mind, their wisdom etched upon my heart. I could almost hear my father’s laughter and my mother’s soothing words, their spirits alive within me.And then, there was Princess Golder, the love of my life, whose radiant presence had transformed my world. Her compassion and strength had illuminated my path, and together, we had built a life founded on love, trust, and shared dreams. I recalled the moment we exchanged vows, the profound connection that bound our souls, and the joy that filled our hearts as we welcomed our daughter Athena into the world.Athena, my precious daughter, a beaco
Prince Simon’s point of viewAs the sun rose above the horizon, casting its golden light upon the world, Princess Golder, Athena, and I embarked on our highly anticipated journey. Our first destination was the majestic mountains that stood tall and proud in the distance, beckoning us with their awe-inspiring beauty. The winding roads led us higher and higher, offering breathtaking views of the lush valleys below. The air grew crisper, tinged with the scent of pine and adventure. Athena’s eyes were wide with wonder as she pressed her face against the window, taking in the vastness of the landscape. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, excitement coursed through our veins. We stepped out of the carriage and stood in awe of the towering peaks that reached towards the heavens. The mountains stood as guardians of nature’s grandeur, and we were determined to conquer their heights. Hand in hand, we began our ascent. The path meandered through dense
Golder's POV It was another day for all the betas (royal betas) to be forced to an Alpha. Even the alpha with the look of a frog will be forced to have a royal mate. This has always been the custom in this pack. Nothing done by my Mother or any of the Lunas surprises us the young betas anymore. It has become the new normal for everyone. Even the alphas most times don't escape it. Every beta no longer dreams of mating with a ‘prince charming’ alpha with riches and luxury. If your Luna wanted you to be with a poor pilferer then so be it, as long as it brought money to the family. This happens in both worlds: the human and the werewolf worlds. And this was about to happen to me. I was gonna be turning 18 in a week’s time. Due to the fact that my parents have started looking for a mate for me, I didn't even bother to be all jumpy but I also didn't want it. I wanted to be in the bosom of another. But my parents havedecided on another. I have over heard them talking about my mat
Prince Simon's POV It was a fine morning filled with disparity as always and Athens being its normal self. This disparity arose from the fact that choices were not made by one’s self but by your parents. Athens was just its normal mining self and I was being the boring cripple, a lie which I made all the Athenians, including my parents, believe, just to be free from the work load. Even with the fact that I have told them that I am crippled, they still dump all the paper work of Athens on my desk. As an alpha I have one who wishes to be with me, Ginny, who I like to call Pooh. We have been together in the secret and therefore she knows the my secret. The accident I speak about which led to my ‘crippled limbs’ happened a year ago while I was on my way to see my Pooh. At that time she was ill so I rushed to her only to get involved in a car crash. At that moment no one in Athens knew I could heal with my Alpha powers, so I told them the lie they wanted to hear: I was crippled.
Golder's POVTurning down Joseph in the presence of the whole pack had been a night mare. I know Joseph was supposed to be the humiliated one, but I felt so embarrassed and emotionally down. I needed a friend to lean on at this point. I even contemplated going to visit Joseph to check on him, but remembered just in time that such will be prohibited by mom and dad. Besides, I really didn't even have the heart. After the party every werewolf was there watching, judging and making me feel so bad. But what was done was done, it was irreversible. Then they announced that there would be another mate for me. The crowd cheered up again. I didn't even like the fact that matching with a mate was made a ceremony. I got down from the podium and ran quickly without hesitation to my bed room and threw myself on my soft duvet. Then I soaked my pillows with my salty marine tears. Remembering all the moments we had shared together. I was now going to have to spend the rest of my years and moment
Golder’s POV“Phew”I sighed as I flung myself on the bed and raised my head as Ari also jumped on the bed too.“So tell me, how was your date?”Ari asked, placing emphasis on the word ‘date’. I gave her one of those bombastic side eye looks as I sat upright and said“That wasn’t a date at all! We literally ate our food in silence after he reminded me that we were just there because of our individual packs!Ari stared at me for a while and burst out into mad laughter“Oh my darling, what did you expect? For him to just begin to chit chat as if he’d known you forages? You know that’s not how this works!”“Don’t tell me you’re on his side Ari! You also know how difficult this is for me. The fact that that’s who I’m supposed to get married to just irks me!”Ariana was about to answer when my phone beeped and immediately I saw who messaged me, my countenance changed immediately into surprise mixed with shock.“What’s the issue?”Ari asked. I was too stunned to speak, so I passed the phone
Prince Simon’s POV‘Here I am, caught in between the rock and the hard place, the mud and the dirt. I am legitimately living a lie that can destroy my reputation as prince and probably ruin my family’s image and prestige; I am also at the verge of losing the only person I had imagined spending ever after with; I also have to choose between her and my kingdom. I mean I’m the prince of Athens and the whole pack looks up to me to make a decision that will favor them and also boost our economic activity. Besides what’s the use of having excess gold and Wolfsbane if we can’t sell them out to generate revenue? The only way to solve all this is if I get married to that Amazonian princess as my parents have already decided, but I can’t lose the one I love to get the one I don’t. It’s all not.....’“Now, who is it?”the soul at the door didn’t answer so I already knew who it was. Before I could say further, Jason had already entered into my office with loads of magazines“Jason? Why do you hav
