REMY’S POVThroughout the time I and the Princess had a brawl, I was not that pleased with the situation but I had to show her that at least I have the upper hand in the palace with such a secret of hers lying about being the real Princess with me. To my surprise, she also didn’t care about all those things I told her to do and she did all of them diligently even though they were physically tasking and mentally draining for someone with such her level.I saw her playing on the bridge with one of her legs up in the air. I was still finding out why she chose to do that when I saw her stagger forward uncontrollably towards the bridge’s rail.In a flash, I had to rush to save her before she find herself in the water and judging from her reaction, it was obvious that she didn’t expect such a miracle to happen but she was extremely grateful. That incident led us to finish our fights as she lamented about the cut of my collarbone which I didn’t even notice was there and wrapped a scarf from
REMY’S POVBy the time she was done with her explanations, she was a crying mess. I felt bad for subjecting her to such a hard training just because of the pettiness of my own heart. She was suffering that hard and was lonely but couldn’t voice out or object to my commands due to the fact that she was afraid of being thrown out of the palace if I decide to open my mouth.“You were too mean to her for no reason, do you even have any right to feel bad right now?” Cole, my wolf whispered into my head.“If you don’t want to get locked in, stop scolding me! I already feel bad enough” I grunted back at him but he only scoffed.The only thing I could do to console such a broken person was pull her into a soft embrace and patted her back to assure that I will not spill anything about her identity.“Next time, you should not hold it in. You should voice out every feelings instead of bottling it inside” I comforted her, patting her back.She cried so much in my arms and I didn’t complain about
FREYA’S POVI woke up that morning with extreme body pain. My whole body was aching me all over as if I had been rolled into a mat and beaten terribly with a club. I let out a long groan as I rolled out of bed and managed to enter the bathroom with the help of the walls I held to support my frame. After taking a hot and long bath, I did felt better and refreshed than when I first woke up so I thought it was the tears and other pent up stress that caused it.“I am so tired that I might drop dead anytime” I yawned.I stepped out of the bathroom and moved back into the room and was about resuming my book because Remy told me that I wouldn’t be having a training session today which was honestly a great thing because I don’t think I can even lift a spoon with my current condition when I remembered the weird dream I had throughout the night.In this dream, I had gone out of the palace to do one thing or the other and came back to find people rejoicing and shouting about how someone importan
FREYA’S POVEver since that day that I had that weird dream, I had constantly been on the edge but one thing I noticed was that, I was improving faster than I had ever done since I started my training. I could not explain the logic behind the weird behavior, everything about me was changing gradually and some other ones, intensely. The dream started becoming normal because it would always occur every two to three days.That night, I slept early because I was extremely tired from the day’s activities but around midnight, I had the same dream which woke me up completely. I couldn’t even sleep a wink after the dream so I stood in front of the Princess’s portrait to watch her while wondering why she kept appearing in my dreams all of a sudden.“Where exactly are you? What on earth happened to you?” I murmured, staring at her intensely with my heartbeat rising with each passing seconds.I felt the urge to let Remy know about what was going on with me but I also felt reluctant to tell him b
Nadia got back from her mission and was filled in on what Julia said about looking for the root of the kidnapping business and she flared up about why she would even think of doing something so dangerous.“Do you think you are the only one passionate about the wolves? Why would you even risk your life to do anything rash? You are just recovering from the sickness that almost killed you in the den and now you want to go back? Have you forgotten how things went out of hand while we were trying to rescue you and the kid in the house? Who are you and why are you so fearless?” Nadia lashed out angrily, her chest rising and falling as she fumed in anger towards what Julia was about to do.“You asked who I think I am? I am the Princess of a pack! Just like you are and I am passionate about my people. If I am doing this for anything, it would be to stop this nonsensical trade in order to protect my own people. I will never allow anyone touch my people touch my people or treat them like so thi
JULIA’S POV Ever since the day I started having that weird dreams of someone taking my position at the pack, I noticed that I started feeling weak around the hours of my practice back at the pack. The situation I found myself was unexplainable but I know that there was a deeper meaning to whatever I was going through and I just needed to find it out as soon as possible. Although I was experiencing such a thing, it didn’t affect my recovery because I was okay in no time and discharged from the hospital after being declared as healthy. My initial plan was to leave Joan’s house as soon as possible but since everyone had agreed to join me in the mission, I didn’t have any reason to leave anymore. “It wouldn’t hurt to stay with you all” I finally admitted, shyly. As days rolled by, I began to get comfortable with both Nadia and Soriya, I felt more relaxed than when I first came so it was easier bonding with them in no time even though I was still extremely cautious in everything I did.
EMORY’S POVWith the announcement of the feast organized by the Alpha of the diadem pack which is the biggest in the region, I knew this was a perfect opportunity to show my capability to the Alpha since he picked me because my father was sick.He had been on the sick bed for a while and I was the one coordinating most of the affairs in his office so it wasn’t a problem when he recommended me to the Alpha to go in his stead. The Alpha also suggested that Draco should come along but he was wise enough to decline the offer so he could stay with his wife who was still devastated and disappointed that her daughter didn’t come home with the found wolves so it was understandable.Immediately I got back to the military yard, I called upon my trusted soldiers and told them to get ready for the journey because they will be accompanying the Alpha to the diadem pack. The gifts to be carried along were prepared in no time and I was instructed to send over some men that would be handling and guard
FREYA’S POVJust like every other evening, I was busy with a book I had been deeply engrossed in for days when Hailey and Lacey rushed in to notify me of the Alpha’s verdict about hosting a feast for all the packs under him.Since I wasn’t the party type, I was not interested in the information and only nodded when I was told. They kept giggling and talking about how they love the pack’s feasts because of foods that will be made available and also since there are several strangers coming in, they might have a good time with any good looking one amidst them.“The last time the Alpha threw a feast, we ate to our fills and I cannot forget the tall, handsome and good looking men that graced the occasion” Lacey voiced out, clutching her hand to her chest.“I know right? I hope everyone coming this time around will be handsome too because I am tired of seeing these bloated bread faces men in the palace. I need a break and opportunity to gaze at some heavenly features that some men out there
I also started taking some lessons about the pack and the palace etiquettes too so I wasn’t idle. I postponed the training session till he would be done with his exams. I didn’t want to serve as a disturbance even though he wouldn’t count it as one but I couldn’t hold it anymore one day and went to visit him in the library. I had taken my time to make him the honey biscuit snacks that he said was his favorite and marched to the library on the last day of his preparation. He was to take the exams the following day outside the pack where his teachers would be examining him in different aspects. “Hey!” I called out to him and waved with a big smile at the library’s door One could tell from his face that suddenly brightened up that he was so happy to see me “How is it going? Are you getting the hang of it?” I asked and walked in “I am trying my best” he sighed. His eyes were a bit puffy and swollen, he had been reading nonstop and it was easy to tell that his sleeping schedule had be
“Did I love Julia truly?” he asked again and I kept my gaze, waiting for his answer“I did love her but I wouldn’t say as much as I love you. When we were mated, I told her that I wouldn’t do it since I couldn’t feel the attraction even though we were mates and she told me to just pretend. She said she didn’t mind all the love and all that as long as I can protect her and also help her out in her missions. Since I didn’t hate her too, I just accepted and we had no problem. I did all she asked for and I never pressured her, I waited by her side for five years to see her decision which she recently made by rejecting me” he answered without breaking the gaze lock we hadA sigh dropped from me at what he said and I stepped back. His eyes wondered in confusion but I ignored that and just swept my hair back in anger.“That brat! How dare she use you and discard you that way? I mean you are everything a lady could ever ask for! You protect, help, guide and guard! You listen well, you are han
For months, I wasn’t allowed to step out of the house without adequate protection. My dramatic parents even hired guards to follow me out anytime I had to something outside the house. At the end of the fifth month, I had to fight them about it and told them that I was strong enough to defend myself and they eventually withdrew the guards.That afternoon, I was in the house knitting in my free time when the door to my room opened“I have to deliver some sweaters but I am tired right now. I will take them there in the evening” My mother said to me as she came inside my room to check up on me since I was there all day“Give them to me. I will deliver them on your behalf” I proposedShe was excited at my offer, it was the reason why she was there obviously. She wanted me to go out on her behalf but didn’t want to tell me directly. The destinations I had to deliver the sweaters to, were far apart so it took some hours before I was done and came back home.My mother ran to tell me about the
I didn’t know what to say at first so I just continued staring at her till she spoke up.“Was the life in the palace bearable? It must not have been easy to pretend that you were the Princess” she finally askedI nodded my head twice, softly and responded. “It was a bit bearable. The doctor’s report gave me the pass I needed” “The doctor’s pass?” her brows curved in confusion“Yea. I woke up to get a report that I had lost my memories even though they were intact” I confirmed and a smile flashed through her lips“Doctor Dax haven’t stopped jumping into conclusions” she murmured but it was loud enough for me to hear“So I heard that you insisted on going back to your pack” she added and I confirmedA little time of silence followed as we both stared at each other without saying a word.“Why don’t you stay though? The palace is wide enough to contain us” she proposed but I only laughed and shook my head“I would have loved to do that but my place is not here. It would be awkward to sta
Uncle Anson found out from one of the soldiers that saw the Prince walking to the flower field and knew that he might have seen the vampire sucking the lad he captured for him. Immediately, he got in contact with the vampires’ side and told them that they have to strike unannounced because the Prince was already catching up on them.They had waited for the Prince to come back to the border and entered the pack unnoticed through the help of Uncle Anson who was in charge of the border. Unknown to them, the other side also had their plans ready so they weren’t caught unprepared.He had wanted to take over the pack with the help of the humans so he sold the captured wolves from other packs to the human world by letting them by through their own packs as a route for years and got money in return. The minister in the human world couldn’t help him since wolves were thousand times stronger than the humans but connected him with the vampire world who could help him out.Over the years, he had
JULIA’S POVEver since the day I told Freya about the plans of the vampire and what the minister said before we brought him to justice alongside the café owner that was involved in the wolfs trafficking, I started making plans about how to go back home.Two days after, Oneiros suddenly woke up in the midnight and told me that we needed to move the following morning because she could see ruins and danger on my pack. We were not prepared to leave yet but we had no choice to be on our way and there was no enough time to alert Freya.“I just hope that they are preparing hard over there” I sighed as I grabbed unto the small bag and slung it over my shoulder while I took Onieros by the hand“I know a shortcut to the werewolves’ packs. I am sure that we can find your pack easily when we get to one” Giles stated and I noddedI only planned for him to give me the directions and go back home since that meant our assignments with each other was done. We got to the last stop before my pack and we
FREYA’S POVI finally remembered that I had seen the currency from Uncle Anson and raced back to the library to tell Remy that I had found the place I saw it and told him where. He couldn’t process the reason why he would have it and tried to give excuses that it might have been a souvenir he received from the passing human merchants at the border but I was not convinced. It was too many to be tagged as a souvenir and I was sure there was something else fishy going on. He had too much pointing at him to be pure.“I think we need to include the Prince at this time. He needs to know what’s happening in the pack so we can all prepare” I suggested to Remy who in turn told me to calm down and find a solid evidence before taking a step since it involves the Alpha’s uncle“You know Julia also told me about the vampire plan. We have to alert the appropriate quarters as soon as possible. This fight cannot be won if fought silently” I insisted and right there, the Prince walked in on us“What f
I couldn’t sleep well after the Princess left because of what she said. It was what I had been waiting for all the days of my life but now that she mentioned it, I felt reluctant to leave. I was used to the palace and everyone around there, I was starting to know them and also build relationship with them, to be sincere, I was also in love with Remy even though I knew I shouldn’t do that.“I honestly do not know what to do” I sighed under the huge blanket and slowly drifted off to sleep after a long night of tossing and turning***The sun was high in the sky before I woke up thanks to my tiredness and I decided to spend each passing day meaningfully as from that morning. I drafted out everyone I wanted to spend each day with and what I wanted to do with and for them so I would have enough time to say a proper goodbye before the next Friday that the Princess would come back to my dreams.I got several bundles of yarn in different colors and sat inside all day, knitting several pieces
I knew that would be the next question they would ask and I was ready to provide the answer on the condition that none of them would make any move on Emory until I was ready to do so. From their talk, it was evident that he was now the acting Beta in place of his father and his governance was a bit ruthless.After telling the story of how I ran away and what happened between me and Ansel, their jaws were on the floor. They could not believe Emory could do all I had said because of how he pretended to love me unconditionally but actually had another plan for me.“You son of the devil! How could you do that her?” my mother growled and charged at Ansel who didn’t avoid her even though he could since he saw her coming. He probably didn’t dodge because he believed he deserved it.“It was not his fault. He was also blackmailed!” I shouted in defense and rushed to hold my mother backAfter all the ruse, she finally helped me treat the bite. “As much as I want to understand you, I hope you al
