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
Nicholus's POV: Later that night, the three of us met at the backside of the castle. I've called my Beta and Gamma to go on a run with me because I needed to clear my mind and feel the fresh air to calm the restlessness building inside me. No matter how much I told myself that I wasn't affected by the news of the engagement, that was a lie. I couldn't explain the agitation and distress I've been feeling ever since the engagement news arrived. I wanted to rip the whole world apart, light fire to it, and watch it engulfed in flames. My wolf, Xoro, was also in utter turmoil. He was enraged at the idea of his wolf mating with someone else. He wanted us to go back and rescue her. And I found his theory laughable. The fool was still not ready to accept the fact that his mate herself wanted it. It wasn't like someone was forcing her to go ahead with it. She didn't need our rescuing. Stripping, we shifted into our wolves, and as soon as I let Xoro take control, the first thing he did
Nicholus's POV: As soon as we neared the castle, I heard the helicopter wings whirling and saw the warriors waiting for our arrival. Preparations have been made. I commanded Ethan to stay behind in the castle to ensure the pack's safety and alert all the warriors in case we were attacked again.Darius and I, on the other hand, made our way to the helipad ground at the back of the castle. At our arrival, Bill rushed in our direction, "Alpha Nicholus, the helicopters are ready to take off at your command." I looked over my shoulder at a few warriors I was taking along with me and they started moving toward the helicopters. Once they were all settled in, I and Darius jumped into our helicopter and just a few minutes later we were in the air.I knew that it would take us several hours to reach the North-South border but still, I couldn’t help grunting at the pilot every once in a while to speed up.For some reason, I just couldn’t stop thinking about Darius’s words. They kept ringing in
