MICHAELI couldn’t believe it when the warriors at the gate told me that this woman was here again. I told them to let her through only because I wanted to settle things between us. I figured she was never going to stop as long as she still had hope that there would be something between us again.When she came in and threw herself at me. I didn’t expect that, my mind took a minute to process what was happening and then I acted. I bellowed chasing her out of my palace. It was clear she didn’t come to talk.She got up looking hurt, head lowered and tears falling. “Michael, I am sorry if I offended you. I am just going through a lot right now and you are the only one who can help me. Please, hear me out.”I wanted to still chase her out, but I thought hearing her out wouldn’t hurt. Also, I wanted to make things clear to her that we will never be together again. Not after everything she did to my daughter in my absence.Ianna now is insecure, doesn’t believed that someone could genuinely
IANNAAegen and I went back to our room and made love some more. He fell asleep and I showered and went to find my father. That was when I saw that woman there. I stood there listening to her begging my father to help them.I was going to turn back and let my father deal with her, but she mentioned Lissa not being able to handle being rogue and I fumed in anger. The woman chased me out of home and didn’t care if I became a rogue or not.Yet now when the roles were reversed. She was worried about her beloved daughter not being able to make it as a rogue. She had the audacity to come here and ask for help. “The nerve of that woman.”I said still shaking in anger looking at the door like she was going to come back again. I wasn’t joking when I said I was going to kill her. I was, I would rather not have a mother than have someone like her.Someone who only saw you as something she can use and abuse as she pleased. No, I was done with that. “Don’t pay her any mind, I had already refused t
MICHAELHer cheeks turned pink when I asked that as she turned away from me shy. I chuckled. I liked seeing her like that. She looked so innocent and pure. Like she had never been sullied by the cruelty of the world.Yet, my child has seen and suffered the most in this world. All because I chose the wrong woman to be her mother. I do blame myself; she might try to make me feel better, but I will never forgive myself for not being there for her when she needed me the most.I should have been there, it didn’t matter what the witch told me, I should have been there for her, protected her and loved her. “Dad, why are you crying now?” I shook my head chuckling.“It’s nothing, am just thinking. Do you know how proud I am of you?” She smiled. “I am proud of the woman you have become, and I am proud of how brave you have been all your life.” She offered me a smile.My sweet girl. Someone cleared a throat and we both turned to look at the door. The witch was standing there, and I frowned. Iann
MELLYMy heart skipped a beat when he said that. Michael was stubborn as a mule, but he always did the right thing. Since I met him, and he accused me of mistreating his daughter. I have not been able to keep him out of my mind.But I couldn’t be too obvious or too close to him. He had Sandra, they were always together and the way she looked at him, I knew she liked him too, I thought that maybe something happened between them. In the past maybe.But when he said he took her as his sister, I was relieved. I knew it was wrong to be, but I was. He made me feel alive, made me feel things I never thought I would feel again after so many years.Aegen’s father was my everything and when he chose to marry a royal instead of me, his mate. I was broken. I swore I will never look at a man the same again. Because to me, he was my all.He was my happily ever after. My fairy tale, my dream. But in my fairy tale, my prince charming turned into the evil king who left me for riches and power. I get t
AEGENI woke up hungry and Ianna was sleeping next to me. I didn’t know how long she was asleep for, but I didn’t want to wake her up. I tried mind linking my mother to ask if she made something special today.My mother has days when she cooks, and it is always my favorites that she made. I wanted to know if today was not one of those day. I craved something nice, and I wanted to bring some for Ianna.She was going to be hungry when she woke up. Oh, my mate. I finally claimed her as mine and watching the kid’s hope die when he saw us. Made it all worthwhile. He challenged me for her as if I was telling lies when I said she was my mate.I understood where he was coming from because alpha wolves and Lycans. Were very possessive of their mates. Moreso us Lycans. But I spend months without marking and mating with Ianna that it gave the kid the wrong idea.Seeing him looking like he was going to die was priceless. I chuckled, that I was cruel and heartless I know, but I would be lying if I
LUPEIt’s been two days since I was kicked out of the palace and Ianna threatened to kill me. I never thought she had it in her to do something like that. I always thought she was weak and always seeking my approval.But she has changed, she is no longer the child I raised, she is now a woman who can take care of herself, and she is about to be queen. I wished I had done things differently with her then none of this would be happening.If Michael had told me who he was, I would have taken good care of his daughter and treated her well. But he didn’t, instead, he left with the witch. How was I supposed to know it wasn’t what I thought it was when he didn’t tell me.I was angry and I took it out on her. They should both understand that. Now we were about to be homeless, and they didn’t give a damn. It doesn’t matter how I treated her in the past, but she had a roof over her head and she never went to bed hungry.But she is now comfortable letting my daughter and I become rogues. I shoul
VASELISSAIt was the day we were supposed to leave the pack and the kingdom apparently. Going to live with humans, I didn’t like it but it was better than being rogues. The alpha promised not to cut out link with the pack so that we are not hunted out there.That was useless if you ask me, why couldn’t he just let us stay home and not ban us. I did promise to stay away from his son, there was no need to make us leave. I was already the laughingstock of the pack and my peers.They are now calling me evil and saying I deserved what was happening to me because of what mother and I did to Ianna. Like they didn’t treat her the same way I did. Bloody hypocrites.I showered and got dressed in the dress Jeyden liked. This was my last chance to try and change his mind about banning us from the pack. My bags were packed though since mother insisted, I pack.I went out of my room, and she was busy packing the last few things. The human movers were coming in an hour. I hoped to stop that before t
LUPEI felt sorry for my daughter, the Goddess knows I do but I could not take it anymore. It was too much. The only thing she has been doing through all of this is complain, call me stupid and asking me why I didn’t kill my other daughter.I was tired of it, we have done enough and the reason we were now going to live with the humans, it was because of us. We did this to ourselves, and we had no one else to blame but ourselves. Me especially, I am her mother, and I should have taught her right from wrong.But I didn’t and now it was too late to do anything. “Lissa, go get your bags so we can leave.” She scoffed. “Didn’t you hear what I said mom, I want them to pay for what they did to me. You have to do something.”This child is driving me insane and if she continues this way. I am going to lose my mind and I don’t know what she will do then when I am cray. “You will get me in the car and if you are not there in the next twenty minutes. I am going to leave without you.”I told her th
AEGENThe guard went looking for Ianna’s phone in all the places she went to toady, but he could not find it. I tried calling it again, but it kept ringing with no answer. I didn’t think much of it when I asked my head of security to track it.But I started to worry when she told me that she tracked it to the woods close to our spot. Our spot was between the palace and the deep-water pack. There were only three people who knew about that spot and one of them was dead.Me, Ianna, and my dead sister. Also, I knew that Ianna would not have gone to that spot without me. We promised we would find time to go there together. Plus, the guard said she never left the palace grounds since I left.That only meant one thing, that her phone was stolen, and the culprit was someone who worked in the palace. I wouldn’t have cared about finding the phone if it wasn’t for the serial killer we had in our hands.I could not take any chances and there were no coincidences with these kinds of things. So, I
IannaI studied until noon then I went and got lunch for myself. I was starting to feel dizzy, and I knew it was because I didn’t eat breakfast. Aegen would have been angry with me if he knew I didn’t eat breakfast.He would have accused me of starving his child. Not knowing that I didn’t have appetite this morning. After eating, I felt sleepy, and I decided to go and take a nap for a while before going back to my studies.The week has ended and there were still no new leads on the serial killer. Aegen was getting frustrated by all of it. I could hear it in his voice very time we spoke on the phone. But there was nothing either of us could do about it.This person has to be stopped. One way or the other he has to be found. I told my guard I was going to take a nap for a while and that he should not let anyone disturb me. I missed having a friend in the palace.Now that Aegen was not here, I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It was lonely. The omega bless their souls try to talk to me and
AEGENLeaving the palace was difficult, not it was not but leaving Ianna was. Especially now, knowing that she might be in danger. We didn’t know who this was, we didn’t know where he was. He could be at the palace for all we knew and yet. I was leaving her behind.My heart was not at ease, but I had to go. She wanted me to be the best warrior in the kingdom and not her mate and father of her unborn child. She trusted me to get this person and put this matter to rest.It has been a week since I left her, and three more people have been killed so far. A she-wolf from the silver moon pack and a close guard to the young alpha of the deep-water pack. Jeyden. He too was killed the same way as the others.Another was the young alpha from the Golden Moon pack and this one was a friend of Jeyden. Now I believed that the person who was doing all the killings was after Jeyden, but we still didn’t know why.We were now back at the Deep-Water pack to question the kid. I want thinking this person
IANNAI sat there listening to Damon explain about this serial killer and I didn’t know what to do. Aegen and I have just taken over as leaders of the kingdom and yet the very first challenge we had on our hands had nothing to do with finances.Resolving pack disputes, no, our problem was bigger than anyone else’s. we had a serial killer in our hands, and we had no idea what to do or how to stop the person. I hear Damon saying they are trying to figure out what this person wanted, and I couldn’t care less about that.I wanted the person can be found. The only way to know what the person wanted was to find them and question them. “Tell me Damon, since you and my father have discovered what this person’s Amo is, have you not discovered what he wants already?”I mean, his actions and the scorpion should give them an idea what he wants. “It’s not that simple with this person. The Amo is the same, but that doesn’t give us anything at all. Just some killings done by the same person nothing
AEGENI watched from the window as my mother and Ianna’s father got into the car and left. She has been trying to talk to me since the coronation, but I would not hear any of it. She did something wrong and she needed to know that and learn.This is how Christina started her evil ways and because I forgave her when she did that. She continued to a point that she ended up almost killing my mate. Mother needs to know that we don’t do things like that I was not going to allow her to start now.What she did was vindictive for no reason because Ianna’s father chose her. Why did she have to go the extra mile rubbing it. That is one thing I will never understand.Ianna came and stood behind me. “You should have said goodbye to her.” I scoffed. “She is not dying but leaving the kingdom.” She came and stood in front of me. “You are going to miss her.”I took her into my arms inhaling her scent. “Of course. I will miss her; she is my mother after all and I love her. But, not enough to encourage
MICHAELIt was so good to see how well she was received by the kingdom. I knew they would be like that as soon as they knew who she really was. She too looked happy, I didn’t know if it was because of the crown or the pregnancy. But it didn’t matter.What mattered was that she was happy. But I wouldn’t say the same about Aegen, he looked bothered before going to be crowned. I asked his mother to go and talk to him. I didn’t want him taking the crown if he didn’t want to.My daughter deserved more than that, though I didn’t think being with her was the problem. I was sure it had something to do with his family. That was why I asked his mother to talk to him.“Penny for your thoughts?” I snapped out of it. “I was just thinking about Aegen and what could be bothering him on a day like this. Doesn’t he want the child?” I asked his mother. I didn’t know what to think and I didn’t want to leave Ianna if things were not right with them.“No, it’s not that, he is looking forward to being a fa
AEGEN I didn’t know what to say when she told me that she was pregnant. Of course, I was happy but damn it. Did she have to tell me in front of all those people. How I had to restrain myself and not act cry in front of them.I was going to be their king after all. I pulled her gently close to me and whispered. “You are a very cruel queen and you have not even been crowned yet.” She chuckled. “Why would my kind say something like that on such a day.”I gave her a playful glare. “You told me this here on purpose knowing very well I can’t do what I want to do to you. How could you do that if you were not cruel?” she laughed. “Well, Malraux kingdom, I think we should crown them now before they show us things we are not prepared to see.”That fucking elder said making the crow laugh at our expense. “This is not over, not by a long shot my dear queen.” I whispered to her, and she blushed. I could not believe she was carrying my child.No wonder she was adamant on finishing her studies ear
IANNATwo months have passed, and it was the day of the coronation. Today Aegen and I are going to be crowned king and queen of the kingdom then my father will leave with Aegen’s mother to lead the fairies. I still can’t believe those two. But they were happy and there was nothing I could do about it.I was happy for them. Aegen and I have been happy, and we are expecting. But I have not told him about that yet. I plan to tell him after the coronation. To surprise him, am sure he is going to be happy about it.Damon also took the girl from the deep-water pack as his mate, and I believe she had made him soft if I dare say. “I can’t believe this is happening, it is packed out there that it got me scared a little.” He said coming in.I turned to look at him and fixed his tie. “Well, you better get rid of that fear because it is happening. We didn’t want to go to the fairy kingdom, and this is what we got.” He sighed pouting. I kissed him.“Don’t stop, why are you stopping?” I chuckled mo
