Ember’s POV:I mulled over his words again. Another thing besides ruthlessness, Alpha Nicholus was well-known for one other trait; that he was the man of his word. If he was promising me all those things then he’d never go against his words.And when I imagined it, it all felt like a beautiful dream. My heartbeat became irregular as it dawned on me that it could be a perfect escape from my chaotic life.I could just accept his proposal and leave with him to the cold lands covered with snow. I pictured us together, in front of a cozy fireplace, wrapped around each other’s arms, sharing a hot cup of coffee and mumbling about all the nonsense things.My heart started pounding in my chest and Aria pleaded with me, “Please, just say yes. We can just go to the North and build a beautiful life with our mate.”It all seemed too good to be true. Wasn’t that what girls craved for? The sense of security and peace? A man who could protect them from anything evil?But then, it was the moment of tr
Ember's POV: The next morning, I woke up sharp at 5 am to the blaring of alarm. And as soon as my eyes opened, my mind went back to the events of the last night and the conversation I had with my mate.A shudder ran down my spine as I recalled his words, 'I'll be back, Little Princess.' It was a promise. The one he was going to fulfill at any cost. I was still engrossed in the flashbacks of the last night when I heard a light knock on the door. I groaned inwardly as the door slid open and Ms. Tacy stepped inside with her little minions just like every morning. Making her way over to me, Ms. Tacy chirped, "Good Morning. How are you feeling today?" I mumbled under my breath, "As low as someone can feel." She leaned closer, "What? Did you say something?" Plastering a huge smile on my face, I croaked, "I said that I'm feeling as fresh as a daisy." Straightening up, she smiled brightly, "Perfect. Let's get ready for the day then." She tiptoed toward the bathroom to get a bath ready f
Ember's POV:Slowly, I turned around and faced my father, "Who is he?" That's all I asked because that was all I needed to know.He assessed me with evaluating eyes. I knew he was looking for my reaction to how I was going to perceive this new piece of information."Arnold Pierce," he uttered with a hint of finality.Keeping my face void of any reaction, I nodded, "The alpha of the DarkFur Pack.""He is perfect in every aspect," he informed me.I knew the meaning behind those words. By 'perfect', he meant that Alpha Arnold had a reputation good enough to be a part of our royal family but also foolish enough to serve as a puppet for my father."The engagement is next week. It'll be just a short ceremony for the sake of formality with..." he started blabbering.Not being able to take any more of his bullshit, I cut him off, "I'll be there."Before he could say anything in return, I was already making my way toward the exit.-----------That night when Sophie and I resigned to my private
Ember's POV:The next morning when I woke up, I found myself drenched in sweat. I tried to heave myself up but all of a sudden, I felt like my skull was splitting in half with the severe headache.I closed my eyes and stayed on the bed for a bit longer. Reaching to the back of my mind, I called my wolf, "Aria? What's happening to us? Are you okay?"All I knew was that something was wrong with me but I had no fucking clue whether it was related to me being a witch or was my wolf under threat? But it was bad. I could sense that.When a long minute passed and I got no response from Aria, I tried again, "Aria, where are..."I was interrupted as my bedroom doors flew open and Ms. Tacy tiptoed inside. As soon as her eyes landed on me, she gasped and rushed in my direction, "What happened? You don't seem okay to me."Assessing me with worried eyes, she pressed the back of her hand against my forehead and screeched, "You have a fever. Wait here, I'll alert the medical...""I'm fine," I blurted
Ember's POV:I peeked my eyes open and the first thing I saw was the white ceiling. A second later, Sophie’s cute little nostrils came into view as she leaned over me, “Oh, you are awake finally.”Worry was written all over her face as she inquired, “What happened?”I groaned while sitting up. I still had a lingering headache. Rubbing my forehead, I answered her question, “I don’t know what the fuck happened to me but I've been feeling so weak like I have no stamina or energy left in me.”Her forehead wrinkled, “That has never happened to you before.”I leaned my head against the headboard and sighed tiredly, “And that’s why I am so astonished.”The earlier events replayed in my mind. I shook my head and huffed out, “It’s a shame to faint like that in front of everyone, and that too after just two damn punches.”Suddenly, I noticed an IV catheter attached to the back of my hand. My gaze traveled up the tube and I saw an IV drip hanging there. Drop by drop, some clear liquid was drippi
Ember’s POV:Her first reaction, to my words was astonishment. Her second reaction was deep frowning, “What? How does that even make any sense?”I gripped my hair and pinched my eyes closed, “I don’t know. I just…I just thought that she was upset with me and showing tantrums that I didn’t have time for and…”“Wait wait wait…” Sophie cut me off mid-sentence and looked at me with utter confusion, “Now what do you mean by that?”Opening my eyes, I looked at her, “Mean what?”She waved her hand in the air, “Why would Aria be upset with you in the first place?” She paused and then continued, “I mean, you have always dominated her, and she had surrendered to you then what could have been the reason for her to be upset?”I opened my mouth, “I…umm…” and then clamped it shut. How could I tell her the reason? I didn’t want to confess to a single soul who my mate was.What could be more disgraceful for a future Queen than having a mate from the enemies, right? And that too the ruthless King of t
Ember's POV: My eyes averted on their own. I couldn't meet her gaze, that's how shameful I felt in front of my best friend for having a mate from the lands of the enemy. No wonder the information must stay hidden from the people of the South. Feeling defeated, I mumbled in such a low voice that it came out as, "Alph Nikls."Sophie leaned closer, "What was that? Say again."Not meeting her gaze, I repeated myself, a little louder this time, "Alpha Nicholus."She frowned and nodded slowly, waiting for any bells to ring in her mind.When it didn't, she tilted her head to the side, "I can't put a face to that name. I know all the alphas of the South but never heard of that name before."I rolled my eyes, "That's because he is not from the South."She waved her hands in the air, "Then from where? East, west?"You see, even she didn't consider the possibility of the North. That's how impossible it seemed to be true.I heaved a huge breath and started speaking, "From the lands that are col
Nicholus's POV:After the training session, I resigned to the conference room inside the castle with my Beta and Gamma for a meeting about business matters.Recently, Alpha Maddox Sinclair, the King of the East approached us to attain the rights to the production of Bloodmoon Merlot, the only alcoholic beverage that could intoxicate Supernaturals.Considering it was one of the main sources of income for the North and well, the treasures and wealth wielded by the North would make anyone envious, so it was no surprise that others too wanted to try their hands on it.But as the beverage was crafted by my grandfather, the rights of its productions were only owned by the North. And no matter how much others wanted to make and sell the drink under their name, they wouldn’t dare go against the North.Besides that, they are actually unable to make a beverage exactly like BloodMoon Merlot even after trying for centuries. Yes, there had been copies but none of them could stand a chance in front
