We followed a winding road, walked up through the forest for about an hour. Then we reached a city, a werewolf city apparently, I learned to make the difference between humans and the supernatural. Some buildings were modern and others had colonial and European style, somehow looked harmonious despite the contrast After a while we left the city and reached a large gate on a high stone wall. Karish pulled the car to a halt and one of the guards approached the driver's side window. After Karish showed him the invitation, he returned to his position and spoke through the security headset. Shortly after that, the gates opened slowly and we got through. I could only see trees for a while, until it turned into bushes. The bushes fused together on a high hedge, I could only assume that it was some kind of garden. The green wall stretched a couple of miles before leaving the road to an open space Between thick trees on both sides, the castle stood high in front of a botanical landscape that w
I was on edge all the way, my nerves felt like the road went on and on and on. I did not like to be kept in the dark. There's too much at stake. What did the king want to call all the herd leaders on the continent? The king, who never cared about his people, let villains roam free and left each flock to themselves. The king that no one has seen for over ten years, suddenly became interested in his kingdom and decided to get involved in the packaging? Why? Why? The questions kept nagging in my brain. Neither Richard nor my father had the faintest idea of the cause. I glanced at the review mirror, could it be that I was sitting in the back seat? Can not be! How would he know? Maybe I should not have taken her with me? What if he recognizes her? What if he takes her away from me or, in the worst case, kills her? I should have considered these scenarios before and thought about her safety first, I should not have come here in the first place.We finally reached our goal, as soon as I go
"These are your chambers, your Highness." said the maid as she opened the double doors. "Is there anything I can help you with?" She asked."I'm going to take a bath. I need to change my clothes." I came here with only the clothes on my back and the little handbag."I'll get you some clothes and I'll send someone to help you with your bath.""No, I can take a bath myself. Thank you." I said and she apologized and closed the door behind her.The room that entered was furnished with sofas, a dining table, some cabinets and a piano. I opened the door to what I assumed was the bedroom and I walked towards the king bed with four posts.I kicked off my shoes and fell on the mattress with a sigh. It has only been a few hours since I stepped into this castle but it felt like the days have passed, I was tired and exhausted. What the king - my uncle - did before, if I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed.As he touched my head with my fingers, I saw my whole life flash in
I threw the unholy dress aside, there is no way I will wear something so revealing. has expected an uncle to protect his niece - almost like a father - instead of making her show off her wares. But again, just met him. There is no way he would develop a fatherly affection for me with the flick of a finger. And he is a werewolf, the king of all werewolves to be exact. Who knows what kind of person he can be? Does he have "mistresses"? How many of them? What kind of eccentricity does he immerse himself in? Too much power and money can cause someone to lose their footing and not distinguish between right and wrong. I think it's me who loses it. Why in the world did I agree to stay with this strange uncle of mine who I know nothing about? This is not the first time I follow the impulse to escape from my problems without looking or thinking about where I should go. Apart from his swinging mood and the exaggerated display of dominance and ownership, Karish was not so bad. He probably has th
Molly did not let me put on my jeans, she said it would be disrespectful to the king. So we decided on a long-sleeved, knee-length simple dress. As long as I do not have to show too much skin, I felt fine. escorted to a dining room on the same floor Since we were on the highest level of the palace it offered a sweeping view of the landscape, the hedge saw before was actually the contour of an intricate maze, with the darkening shadows I could not see the details of the pattern. As I contemplated the beautiful sunset sky, the butler announced the king's arrival. If anything, I have to be careful and not end up on his bad side. I'm not the type to put on a facade but I can be polite and respectful Molly made sure to learn some etiquette to avoid mishaps. At least until I knew his intentionsThe king stepped in with heavy steps, unlike in the throne room he seemed less threatening"Your Majesty," I said, politely"Alexandra," he said drylyThe name had a strange sound, I know it's the na
"I do not think I'm capable of it. I just wanted to go out and run." I could not hide the irritation in my voice. The king gave me a suspicious look as if he doubted my words."You're not going anywhere." he declared."And why, may I ask?""It's for your own safety." He answered sternly."I can take care of myself. In addition, I can take guards with me if it makes you feel better." I tried to negotiate."I do not think you understand the seriousness of the situation." The king approached me and took me by the elbow."Your time with humans has deprived you of understanding the basic concepts of werewolf biology." He continued while pulling me to one of the rooms. My heart started pounding in my chest as I could not let go of his hard grip. I was afraid to know what might happen next, nothing about his face or his voice gave me a hint of his intentions, and it made me go to dark places.He finally stopped in front of a window overlooking the forest."See!" He let go of me and gestured
The further we went from the palace, the stronger the chest pain became. I never knew it could be so painful to be away from my friend. She did not reject me, but I felt like she did. I was devastated, as if a piece of my soul was missing. My wolf growled and growled and blamed me for the whole situation. When he reminded him that he was the one who lost control for the most part, impatient before the mating, that he made me approach her too aggressively, he fell silent and withdrew.After that it became quiet, for the first time in a long time. I was alone with my thoughts. I knew I was as guilty as my wolf, I was also impatient, I should have tamed him better, or at least cleaned up his mess properly, fix things between us instead of avoiding her like a cowardWe had stopped at the hotel to pick up our luggage and headed for the packing area. After telling Herbert what happened, he took over the wheel, with Melissa in the passenger seat, lounged in the back. Too immersed in self-pit
The mating season has passed a long time, but I was still locked. It looked like history was repeating itself, would I face the same fate as my mother? Should I wait until a mysterious stranger comes to save me? Even though I became a princess, my life is far from fairy tale material. My knight in shining armor - the Jordan werewolf in my case - does not come to save me because I sent him away. It was I who asked for time and space, and now that I had it, what would I not give to see his beautiful face again. Look into his piercing amber eyes. Or kiss his lips again.I shook my head to chase the naughty thoughts. This is not the time to dwell on what could be or has been, I had to focus on the task in front of me. I had to use the dining room to study, under the pretext of seeing the view. What I actually did was map the maze and record the time and frequency of patrols. I was also aware of the changes in the floor. Now I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to make my move. My tra
