" Don't worry the paparazzi is here. This place is secured."
I cracked a weak smile on my blind date, Edward Jones. He was next in the line to become the Alpha of the second-largest pack in this town. My birthday party was a disaster for me. All the while I had to tolerate the heated eyes of my ex-mate. Coming to this blind date would hopefully help me out.
Edward looked nervous as he replied, grabbing the wine awkwardly,
" No. I am just nervous..in front of the Royal Princess."
Fuck! Can someone please stop me from reminding me of that?
Nobody dared to approach me before because of my Royal status. Even my blind dates were terrified whenever they found my identity. I didn't want to date someone introduced by my family. They always preferred social status over everything. After breaking my heart, I had only one wish in my life. To find someone who truly loved me!
I avoided Leonid throughout the party. He seemed okay with my behavior. My brother was the only best thing that ever happened on my birthday. I cleared my throat to start the conversation, looking up at Edward who couldn't look into my eyes,
" So...tell me more about yourself, Edward."
He finally smiled, getting comfortable with me,
" Honestly, I hate pack life. I thought of running away many times."
I let out a chuckle, sipping from my wine,
" Me too, but sadly, I have nowhere to go."
Wrong I had!
My adoptive parents told me before sending me away that I would always have a home there. I just didn't want to push them into trouble anymore. The Vasiliev Dynasty had two shades. The green one was for the Public but the dark one was for the people that disobeyed them. I learned how to be a mute over the years.
We chatted longer than expected. To my surprise, Edward turned out to be the person who wanted to be free from this caged life. But we both knew that our responsibilities came first. I would have continued my chat until a phone call flashed on my screen. I narrowed my eyes to see my brother calling. He knew that I was on a date and he would never disturb me in my private time.
I answered with a tight smile, scared to hear his anxious voice,
" Hello, brother. What.. what happened?"
Alberto sounded fuming as he replied to me, the sound of his pacing across the room echoing through the speaker,
" ELINDA! Don't ask anything! Just get out of the restaurant once my car goes there."
I looked around suspiciously. It was a closed property and I didn't think that anyone would be following me here. For this reason, I didn't bring too many guards with me. I opened my mouth to ask something but the call ended, leaving me with countless questions.

|| ALEXIS KOZLOV's POV ||
That smile...
That damn smile...
I watched her through the glass walls. I haven't gotten out of the car since she hated me and probably wouldn't ride with me. Her blind date with a man shouldn't have bothered me. It was just a bet with her. Although we became mates, nothing changed my mind.
She was too naive, and easily fooled back then. Instead of getting expensive gifts, she was content with Roses or pearls. Now that I lost her forever, why did it hurt like hell? Why did it kill me to see her smiling for another man? Shouldn't I be happy too?
She came out of the restaurant, holding the man's hand. Some violent fury snapped inside me quickly. Before I could stop myself, I got out of the car and waited in front of it. Her eyes locked with mine and her smile vanished. She pretended to concentrate on the guy but I knew that she had all her attention on me.
That punk leaned onto her and left a peck on her lips, taking me by surprise. My lycan growled inside me violently, itching for some fresh blood. I crossed them in a while and was reminded coldly, that guy looked scared to see me,
" The Princess shouldn't be intimate in an open place. There are eyes everywhere for her. Don't you know this, Young Man?"
The guy looked terrified before Elinda mediated, flashing him a big smile,
" He doesn't know. You may go ahead, Edward. We will meet next time."
The fuck she will!
She turned to me grimly, staring at her brother's car,
" Where are the Royal Guards? Why is it you?"
I replied with a low grin, raking my eyes on her hot body,
" To babysit. I can't deny my best friend's request. Otherwise driving isn't my favorite job."
Elinda replied, pressing her lips together,
" Killing maybe..your favorite job?"
I shot her with a dark look. She had learned about me already. It gave me some mental peace before I offered, to open the door,
" Hop in, Princess. You aren't supposed to be outside now."
Elinda replied with a scoff, crossing her arms together,
" I would rather die than ride with you. Call my guards. I will wait for them."
Her stubbornness took me by surprise. She was always a calm and understanding girl. I was supposed to play with her longer but I couldn't take her for granted for her innocence. I clenched my jaw hard, pulling my phone out,
" Right! I should tell your brother that you prefer to ride my face than my car."
Her jaw dropped speechlessly. Without a word, she stormed into the car, clicking the door lock with a bang. I held back a grin before following her into the car. Her personality has changed a lot over the years. But she was still the same girl who gave me a hard-on and made the Mafia leader her chauffeur.
At this point, I wanted to question myself. Did I regret breaking her heart?

|| ALEXIS's POV ||" You shouldn't be out there with some guy, Princess!"I grumbled, closing the door with a bang. She was startled by the sound but remained seated. Her expression said though it was better to be killed than riding with me in the same car. Elinda replied with a scoff, staring at the street ahead," You aren't my guardian. Stop acting like one."My jaw clenched tight in anger. I would have never come if her brother didn't request me. I owed Albert too much. If I knew about her real identity, I wouldn't have screwed her anyways. I replied patiently, gripping the steering wheel," I am saying for your own good. You could have been photographed by the papparazi."The words didn't settle right into her ears. She turned black before spurting with mockery," At least it's better to be photographed with a Commoner than a monster in disguise?"It took all the strength away from me. My veins turned white in anger. Before I could know, I had grasped her by her head, pulling her

|| ELINDA'S POV ||" I AM NOT LEAVING YOU, ALBERT! NO FUCKING WAY!"I couldn't believe my own ears. Albert had decided to send me away for a few months. He refused to explain why it was necessary for me to hide.Alexis and Albert had been talking secretly ever since Alexis brought me here. He had managed to escape the group that was aiming bullets at us. I was pretty sure that it was all because of Alexis. Albert was never a man who attracted troubles or had any dark business like Alexis. I just couldn't understand how they became friends.Albert spoke in a firm voice, looking at me stressfully," You..Listen to me, Elinda. Whatever I am doing, it's for your own good. Trust me, no one in the family cares for you more than me. Be a good girl and join me in the family dinner tomorrow."I opened my mouth to say something but Alexis cut off between, shooting me a longing look," I hope, you remember the gunshots, Princess."A chill went down to my spine at the mention of gunshots.

He understood that I wasn't kidding with him anymore. Hector muttered, his eyes darkening with fear slowly," It's.. just me..no one else..I wanted to kidnap the princess.. that's it..."He was lying again. The mastermind might have held something against him. But I had no mercy over the man who tried to hurt Elinda. Rejected mate or not, I was fucking possessive over that girl. I replied with a smirk, pulling out the gun from my waist," It looks like I am wasting my time."Hector finally looked terrified. He kept shaking his head nervously, trying to stop me," No..no.. listen to me, Don. You can't do this. No!!!"I ignored his pleading, commanding with a low growl," SHIFT!!

|| ELINDA's POV ||It was insane how easily people could judge you. Matteo's indirect insult at me only made me angrier. Fiona stretched her hands out to drag me outside. One sharp glare from my eyes, her wolf shuddered, taking a step back to show submission.Matteo shot me another glare but he couldn't meet my eyes anymore. When a Royal took charge, average wolves couldn't stand the dominant power in front of her. I spat firmly, taking a step forward to the boy," Stay back. I can fix him. If I fail, you are allowed to insult me."Matteo retorted weakly, staying a few steps away since he couldn't enter inside my dominance wave," You... don't.. you will kill him."I ignored his words and opened up my mouth to bite on my wrist. Blood leaked out of it, sliding it down to my skin. I held it down on the lips of the dying boy. Fiona grumbled impatiently," What are you doing, witch? You will kill him."I ignored her unnecessary banter. Moments afterward, the boy started coughing violently

|| ELINDA'S POV ||" Yeah! Everything is fine here. Just tell me..how long will I have to stay here?" I asked my brother on the phone, feeling suffocated to live in this mansion where I couldn't go out. I felt ashamed for offering myself to him so easily. It was just a matter of time that I lost control of myself.Alberto assured me, his tone sounded hurried," Soon, dear sister. You are in good hands. Just enjoy your vacation."Fuck the vacation! It was more suitable to live in the street than my rejected mate!Alberto didn't extend the conversation anymore. He cut off our words and hung up. I released a heavy sigh and walked near the big window. A black car had just entered the field at a remarkable speed. Matteo and his other team members dragged a woman out. The face of that woman was swollen. It seemed like she was being abused before dragging her here.I spotted Leonid in his kingly position. He was surrounded by men as the woman was presented in front of him.Did he want to ki

She held the knife under my throat before laughing into my ears," I didn't think that it would be easy to fool the princess. Tsk...now call your fucking brother and tell him to accept me as his princess."My thoughts went blank at the mention of my brother. What did she do with my brother? What the hell was happening?I swallowed hard under the threat of her knife. Then I remembered once my brother said to me that my goodness would be my doom one day. At that moment, I hated myself more than anyone. I muttered a reply, waiting for someone to show up," He ...is busy these days..He won't probably pick up..my phone..."The woman sneered into my ears, pressing the knife harder into my skin," You fucking woman!

So that you can cause some trouble freely?"I scoffed at him, intending to find it by myself," Says someone whose work is killing."I saw Fiona at a distance. She was coming out of the study with a dark face. I instantly knew where Alexis was as Fiona hated to keep her ass away from Alexis. I walked in that direction without asking anymore. The door was already opened. It took one gentle push to enter. I was scared to make any noise since I knew that Alexis was angry with me.My eyes darted around to find him but he was nowhere to be seen.

There was a thick silence lingering between us. I waited for his answer, a whole eternity passing between us. Xander didn't speak for a good moment until he burst into laughter. His laughter was insulting and humiliating. He spoke with mockery," Do you believe that you hold the honor of giving birth to my child, Carissa? A murderer like you?"He grasped my jaw the following moment. I let out a choke, frightened under the weight of his killing eyes. I reasoned, taking all the pressure from him," I...I...I was born in Blood Moon..I have the ability ...I do.. I.."Xander's gaze darkened with confusion. He let go of my chin, reconsidering the offer that I made to him. We stayed silent for a while before he spoke with gruff," If you wish to repay, there is only one way."I was prepared for the worst.

" You called for me?"Silvia spoke, peering her head through the door. She still didn't understand the fact that she had all the damn rights to walk through my office. I liked how she didn't feel desired for the position of Luna.I hummed softly, closing down the trading sheet that Alessio gave me," Yes, come inside."Silvia walked in, my eyes subconsciously falling on her belly. She had started to show her baby bump. Although all was forced on her, it made me so damn proud that my hair was growing inside her belly. She took the seat in front of me, her eyes resting on me curiously," Anything important?"I expelled a long sigh, preparing myself for the worst. I broke the news slowly, waiting for her reaction," You are coming with me to a ball tonight as my female companion."Surprise flickered in her eyes. She gulped before asking with a tight jaw," Means?

" He has started a war...for you ...."Alessio whispered into my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts. I stared at the mess in the room. Seth had butchered a few of the werewolves, roaring like a lion. He seemed like he had lost his consciousness.I swallowed the fear in my heart. I didn't know why Alessio believed that I could calm the mad Alpha. I observed Seth for a while. His eyes were glowing like the sunlight, a burning anger riding through his veins. My heart flew out of my chest in fear. I turned to Alessio, already giving up on the decision," I can't... Perhaps I will die but I can't do this shit."I tried to walk away from there but Alessio gripped me back in my position. He looked deep into my eyes, pleading and begging so brokenly," Please...He won't hurt you. You are carrying his child. Your child can calm him down. He has already done enough harm.
