RONA'S POV It has been one week since Richard went to the war front, yet there was no news of his return or impending victory. I have tried reaching out to the gamma in charge of internal affairs of the empire and castle, Liam Davis, to no avail. Am I worried about him? Nah! Impossible! It can't be! But I need to act like a caring and devoted wife now, shouldn't I? I walked downstairs and three guards immediately followed me, to my surprise. "What's wrong?" I asked, turning to them. "The emperor ordered that we escort and protect you wherever you go," one of them quickly explained. I frowned and nodded. He was probably worried that his niece would try to attack me again. I sighed and turned towards the entrance. "I heard you were asking about the palace that belongs to gamma Liam Davis." The first guard said again. "That's right, I went to the administrative quarters but I didn't find him" I quickly answered. "There's a palanquin waiting outside. Your retinue will carry you t
RONA'S POV Liam always had a reputation of being cold. Richard and his three closest aides were always known for their coldness, arrogance, dominance and strength. However, his temperament was the coldest of them all. He's an introverted warrior and I have never seen him smile, no one has. "It's Lord Liam Davis to you, not Liam!" He said coldly, looking up at me. "And why do I need to address you by that title?" I asked with a calm smile, going to sit before the zither. I began to play it while waiting for his answer. "I'm Lord Liam Davis of the northern fortress, alpha king of blue moon territories and the commander of the emperor's heaven's mandate armies. Address me properly and don't embarrass yourself." He said haughtily, in that characteristically cold way of his. I smiled again and stopped playing the zither, maintaining my smile. "I'm the emperor's woman. You serve my husband, so why do I need to be servile before you?" I asked coldly, watching him clench his fist and s
A scream tore off my lips before I could control my vocal cords properly. Cold sweat covered my body and I could feel my hand changing to claws, in addition to furs appearing on my flawless skin. I gritted my teeth and bit my tongue hard, trying to endure the pain. I screamed out as blood began to trickle out of my nose and ears. ‘Ara, what are you doing? Please don't do this, Liam has not gone far, what if he detects my aura? Even if you manage to take over my consciousness, you will also end up dead before you know it. Your aura will be prominent, your eye color and every other thing will show that I'm no longer the one in control. The moment I die, you also die. What in hell’s name are you thinking, Ara?’I scolded mentally, groaning as more veins split open in my body. However, Ara pretended not to hear me, intensifying her efforts to eat away at my consciousness. I screamed out in pain and vomited blood, my eyes bulging painfully. Tears and blood streamed down my eyes as I envis
RONA'S POVI only kept grunting in pain, covered in sweat and blood. ‘Ara, why are you doing this?’ I asked for the umpteenth time, unable to wrap my head around the reason my wolf wants to kill me. I suddenly felt the cold energy from last night push to the front of my mind, giving me hope. But before I could get relief from the mind numbing pain, I felt Ara's hot flames push the cold energy back, intensifying her efforts to burn me up. “This won't do, I just felt Lord Liam's aura. Hurry and get the pendant you took from me. It's an ice attribute treasure, it can chain Ara down for a while. Stand, stand now.” I heard a voice in my head telling me in a desperate voice. For a fleeting moment I felt confused, wondering if I was going crazy from the pain. Why am I hearing that strange voice in my head again? And why does that soft, feminine voice seem familiar?“Aish! Rona, this is not the time for this. I said move, now! Even if you want to die, I don't. Get the ice jade pendant!” Th
MEDIEVAL WOLFDOM; FLAME BLOOD WOLF PACK. PRINCESS RONA CAMPBELL'S POV Tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday when I will finally shift. Well, I was pretty much excited. There are some rare bloodlines that shift at fifteen or less, but mine was not that privileged. I didn't mind it though, our wolves were very powerful. Besides, no matter the age at which you awaken your wolf, the mate function and bond remains dormant till eighteen. So why the hurry? I heard lots of people screaming. Smoke was choking me, almost as if something was burning. I was probably having a nightmare. I rolled on the bed as I tried to separate the noise from my dreams, from reality. However I couldn't. People kept crying and screaming. I began to cough severely, making me force my eyes open. The smoke was not from my nightmare, our castle was on fire! "Princess wake up!" I heard my mom shout, running into my room. The sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes, and I quickly sat up in alarm. My
RONA'S POV I was blinded by pain and wanted nothing more than to rush the evil emperor and face him myself. The fact that his men were looking for my mother and I to kill us too, meant nothing to me. My mom dashed into a secret corridor, dragging me along. She was still crying profusely. However, tears never clouded her reasoning, unlike me that was plain confused. My legs were still shaking in horror and I couldn't stop crying. "You will go to your mate's pack to take refuge, I'm sure he will hide and protect you. That's the only option now," my mom whispered, as we entered the tunnel. Mate? What mate? Since when did I have a mate? "Which mate?" I stuttered, while still shivering as she dragged me along. "Alpha Kenzo Stewart of Raven pack is your mate. It has been long we found out, but we blocked you from feeling the mate bond, according to the priestess's directions. However, Kenzo knew you were his mate and tried to claim you. He felt the mate bond during your fat
"Why will the goddess give us such a mate?" My wolf wailed in my mind. "I Alpha Kenzo Stewart, reject you princess Rona Campbell as my mate!" He said coldly. I staggered as pain blinded me, it was finally happening, I got betrayed once more. "Now get her for me!" He ordered his men. "In your dreams!" I howled as my wolf took over. My mind went blank immediately, while she took over my consciousness. What I realized next was me back on my horse, escaping in a haste. "Ara, how did you do it? How did we escape?" I asked. A series of memories flashed before me, and I saw her transform and tear the person behind us apart with her claws, before jumping over the blockades, all in a few minutes. She also sprayed something on them that momentarily blinded them, before mounting the horse. "Thank goodness your mom packed the delirious powder for us!" She said, as I increased my pace. Tears dripped down my face at Kenzo's betrayal. Even though I didn't know his identity as
RONA'S POV "Princess, princess. Princess wake up already, stop scaring us" I heard someone calling out to me. My head felt woozy as I opened my eyes. "Thank goodness" I saw a young girl, kneeling over me. She was the one who spoke. What the fuck? Where am I? I sat up and looked around. There were men dressed in guards' apparels and armor, in addition to some girls in costly maid apparel. It was obvious that they came from a very rich kingdom or pack. I looked around and saw a body of water stretching as far as the eyes could see. Wait, I fell into water? How did I end up here? Why are they calling me princess? I looked up at them. They all looked pissed off at me and resentful. As if they were being forced to do a chore they hate very much. "Princess, this is becoming too much. The Alpha king is pissed off at you. We had to search for hours before we found you floating on the lake. What if you had gotten washed into the sea before we arrived? You keep throwing silly tan

RONA'S POV I heard Richard's words when he came to visit me, however I kept feigning unconsciousness. I pretended to be asleep while listening to the voices of people around me. "There seem to be lots of attacks happening nowadays. The emperor is often at the war front. He always defeats them but more keep sprouting. Being powerful is not an easy task, people that are after what you have will risk their lives, braving the consequences just to get a shot at power. No wonder the emperor became so ruthless. Lots of his subordinates and subjects have tried to betray him in the past, stabbing him viciously in the back. If not for his unfathomable powers, he would have probably died a long time ago. So when he passes judgment cruelly, or acts viciously, I don't raise an eyebrow. He has been betrayed in the cruelest and most heartless ways possible in the past, making him unable to trust anyone. He will rather kill ten innocent people than let one traitor go unpunished." I heard a junior d
EMPEROR RICHARD'S POV "You don't mean that, do you?" Olivia whispered. "I do. The last time you hurt her, I spent rare Immortal herbs to save my wife's life. And even till now, she has not fully recovered. If those herbs were sold, the proceeds would be enough to build two castles, but I was forced to spend it on health care. Each time you meet her, you cause her pain and sadness. This is her home, no one is allowed to hurt her, not even you. She's my wife, she's a special woman, even if she hides her gifts. When a woman is married, she becomes happier. I also want that for my wife. And anyone that tries to make me a widower while I just got married will never be forgiven. Now leave and be a good girl." I whispered, rubbing Olivia's hair gently. She hissed and shook off my hand, stomping away from the palace. I rushed to Erica and knelt beside her. "Baby girl!" I whispered in fear, noticing the tears staining her unconscious face. I quickly carried her up and began to run up the s
EMPEROR RICHARD'S POV I quickly dragged her back, barely holding back my anger. "Are you crazy? What the hell do you think you are doing? Why are you hitting her? What did she do?" I growled, trying my best to rein in my anger. "She disrespected me!" Olivia roared back, her eyes blazing with fury. She was matching my stare fearlessly, making me wonder if she was really my seventeen year-old little girl. I clenched my fists and took a deep breath. "How did she disrespect you?" I asked calmly. "Imagine this wolfless, ugly, weak, disgusting, little usurper. This whore and gold digger, this bastard child of the alpha king, this lowly animal, she walked past me without greeting me. When I ordered her to get down on her knees and greet me, she refused to do it. How dare she? She is an eyesore. She needs to die!" She shouted. "It's not true. We didn't see you! You suddenly bumped into us at that corner, you ordered her to get down on her knees. She just frowned at hearing your words a
EMPEROR RICHARD'S POV I sighed as I stood up from my office chair. I work all day long yet there's always more work to do. If not for the fact that I am Immortal, I would have broken down a long time ago, because my body won't be able to carry the stress. From judging an annoying case between bitter ex-lovers immediately after breakfast, to getting buried neck deep in piles of documents and other annoying work. Some of the accounts were messed up and I realized that some lion-hearted ones have begun to pilfer from me, hoping that I won't notice since my income per week was massive. They also know I get very busy, so I guess they won't expect that I will calmly go through the books. They were hoping I would skim through it and fail to notice their actions. Impossible! I have a photographic memory, seeing something just once, even at a passing glance, is enough for me to remember it clearly. And now, I have to go on the inspections. I needed to check both the farms, the clothing
EMPEROR RICHARD'S POV I quickly stopped and pulled out. I touched my co*k and realized that it was coated with a mixture of fluids, including blood. I stared at it in confusion. Why was she bleeding because I went a little rough on her? She's no longer a virgin for godess's sake. "Baby girl, did I hurt you?" I whispered, bending down to kiss her neck. She shook her head and smiled. "It's nothing" "Is it very painful?" I asked again, fondling her pu**y. She shook her head with a smile, making me feel relieved. I kissed her and slipped it back in, telling myself to be very careful while thrusting, to avoid causing her pain. I continued kissing her while fondling her bo*bs and thrusting, till I felt her approaching release. She threw her legs around my waist as she began to spasm. I focused on her face watching her expression of bliss as she climaxed. She grabbed my arms, her nails grazing me slightly as she bit her lips to hold back a moan while her sweet juices trickled out o
