IANNA'S POV I looked at Adolph and felt sorry for him. His father was dead and he was angry. I didn't mind what he was saying because of that and he didn't like me to begin with. "I was just leaving." I told him then I walked out leaving the siblings alone. I went back to my room but before I could enter, I heard voices, it was my father and Aegen. I stood by the door and listened. I knew one of them was going to smell my scent and know I was there but I had to listen. I wanted to hear if the two got along. "Sir, I will help you in any way you can. There is no love lost between my siblings and I." That was Aegen and I anxiously waited for my father's response. "I heard you and I will let you know when I need you. I hope you won't mind, I will be taking back my throne and I don't care what happens to your siblings. If they stand in my way or try anything with my daughter then I will have no mercy. My daughter has been through enough and I will not let your siblings put her through a
Christina I glared at my brother when Ianna left. I walked to the door and listened to her footsteps fading away. Then I turned back to my brother. "What are you doing?" I squinted my eyes looking at my brother. "What? I don't like her and I am not going to pretend otherwise. The girl is after my crown!" Oh how wrong we both were, Ianna was not the one we were supposed to worry about. Her daddy was the problem. If Ianna was indeed, who she said she was, then her father was the true King. The throne was his and we, had no claim to it. "I was wrong, Ianna was telling the truth when she said she wanted nothing to do with the crown." He looked at me confused as usual. "What are you talking about?" I went to sit on the bed with no clue on how to go about getting rid of her father. "Ianna's father is here, I met him." He still gave me a confused look. "What does he have to do with anything?" Oh, sometimes I wonder where is the cunning in him Aegen always spoke of. "If her father is her
AdolphI looked at the witch with nothing but hatred in my eyes. No, it wasn't hatred, it was disdain. I wished I could wrap my hands around that thin long neck of hers and squeeze the life out of her and watch as she takes her last breath.Who the hell did she think she was to say something like that to me? That man was not king yet and I was still the crowned prince. "There is a saying that people say, it says don't count your chickens before they hatch. I will suggest you do the same because you don't know what tomorrow holds."I warned, it was time I showed them who I really was, they thought they could walk all over me but that couldn't be further from the truth. I was Adolph the majestic wolf and I was meant go rule. I was not about to let them or anyone else take that away from me. If they wanted to know what I was capable of then they should keep pushing."I think you should be the one taking that advice, I mean, you are not the king yet, it might not happen. I suggest you get
Christina I watched my brother leave without saying word about where he was going or what he was going to do. I went back to my room and sat on the bed trying to come up with a plan to deal with our problem but nothing came to me. They had everyone who could have helped us win this. Aegen and his warriors. The witch and her visions and whatever else she could do. Two true Royals and their powers. Powers we knew nothing about. We were on the losing side and I didn't like it.I found myself resenting the day I met Ianna. Why was I so forward and befriended her? I should have never done that, but I didn't know who she was or what she was going to be. I was the princess and I thought I was looking out for someone who was going to be loyal to me for life.I didn't know I was helping someone who was going to take my place. Oh, how I hated her. "Turn that frown upside-down little sis, we are about to have everything we want." I didn't know when Adolph arrived but he was standing on the doo
IANNA I couldn't sleep, I kept tossing and turning but sleep did not come. At some point I woke up and watched Aegen sleeping peaceful next to me. I envied him and wished it was me who was sleeping.I drank a cup of milk but it didn't help. I ended up getting out of bed and putting on my sweatpants. I wanted to go and train to tire myself. I looked at the wall clock and it read eleven forty-five. Most people were sleeping at that time and I was the ghost of the palace. When I walked out I looked in the direction of Christina's room and the light was still on. She must have been struggling to sleep as well. I contemplated on whether to go to her or to the training grounds. I decided on the training grounds. If her light was still on when I come back from the training grounds, then I was going to go check her out. I glanced at her room one last time before going to the training grounds. "I want to go for a run." Sandra, my wolf said. I looked around checking if there was anyone close
AEGEN "Aegen" I was sleeping peacefully and hearing my name being called fell like a dream. It was my mate calling me and I smiled. "Aegen, wake up!" I turned to the other side and continued sleeping. I didn't want to wake up from the dream.I wanted to hear what my mate wanted to say, why she was calling me. "Aegen! Wake the fuck up!" She yelled so loud in my head that I jumped up from bed but fell in the process, it seemed when I turned I was close too the edge of the bed and when Ianna yelled in my head and I jumped. I fell with my butt on the ground. It hurt a little. I was still disoriented. "Why are you so cruel, why would you yell at me like that?" I asked getting up from the floor brushing my bottom. But what made me look on the bed was the fact that she didn't answer.Why would she yell at me like that as if she was in trouble then not answer me? I looked on the bed and it was empty. "Ianna?" I called for her thinking that she was in the bathroom or something. When she didn
AEGEN "You are not seeing things, not unless I am seeing things too but we can't both be crazy." Neville said. "Goddess! My prince, we thought you all died in the war!" Neville said again getting closer to the polar bear that was my mates father. "Enough! I am king and I say arrest these two!" My brother bellowed and everyone turned to look at him.My sister was already standing by his side at this time. She kept tagging at his clothes but my little brother was having none of it. What did he think was going to happen when the people found out about a true royal being alive? He was stupid if he thought he could still be King after that."I guess this is the man who threatened your throne." Said an elder looking at my brother with so much disappointment. "I guess it's not your throne now that the rightful heir is here, now is it?" The elders continued. "What are you saying? There is no way he is going to take the throne from Adolph. True royal or not, he wasn't here all these years an
IANNA I didn't care about everything that was happening there, not the new king or my father who wanted to be one. I just wanted to leave and never come back. "Can we please go?" I asked Aegen, he looked at me with questioning eyes but did not say anything.He turned to my father, "We are leaving, shout if you need anything." He told him. My father looked at me and I gave him a small smile. I didn't want him to leave this and tend to me. I wanted him to get what he wanted but I didn't want to be involved."Are you alright baby girl?" He asked now through the mind link. "I am alright, I just need some sleep and I will be fine." He didn't respond just looked at me with sad eyes. Am sure blaming himself for not protecting me even when he was around.What he failed to remember was the fact that I could now take care of myself. I was no longer a child who needs her parents to take care of her. Even when I lived with my mother, I took care of myself, this was nothing new to me.Aegen and I
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
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
