Morgana cried back, “We don’t know! Nobody here has ever become King before!”Damien arched his back in pain.He opened his mouth.A deafening howl escaped his lips.He shifted into a giant black wolf—even larger than his original size—and the light within his body grew brighter.With a booming nois
Aurora’s back became stiff.Slowly, she turned around to face him.“You have been watching me the whole time?” she asked in a cold voice.Westin gave her a crooked smile, “I didn’t want to stop you from your daily exercise. You have slept for days. It is good to stretch out a bit.”Aurora suppressed
This time, Aurora was granted the chance to sit in the passenger’s seat.She peered out of the car window.The winding mountain road clung to the slopes like a serpentine ribbon, carrying them further into the heart of the majestic peaks.The air grew crisper, and the scent of pine trees mingled wit
Agnes’s body trembled on the ground.She stared at Aurora as though she was some sort of a monster.“Agnes!”Westin rushed to help Agnes up. He touched her shoulder to make sure that she didn’t have a broken bone and then cried out to the others, “Get Lady Agnes to the medical room!”Servants rushed
Aurora let out a sign internally.“You don’t want my instruction. Fine. Go out there and see how many days you can last in this castle. You will come back and beg for my advice in the end,” he said in a rather condescending tone.Aurora rolled her eyes, “Are we finished here? Where is the dining hal
People exchanged looks in silence.“There is a problem,” said a deep voice from the crowd.A middle-aged man stood up from the long table in the middle. He had dark curly hair and thick beard, dressed in grey cloak.“And that problem is?” Aurora asked.“You are not mated to the King yet. You haven’t
Aurora nodded.No wonder there were 3 long tables in this dining hall.Each house had its designated section.Agnes went around introducing all the girls and then turned back to Aurora, “I just received a message from the King. There will be a Spring Ball in 5 days, a perfect opportunity for you to
Aurora balled her fists.Westin proposed to Agnes before?Yet he kept telling her that Agnes was not his loved one.What a liar.Agnes chided gently, “Don’t say that, Kalinda. Westin never proposed to me.”“But he wanted to, apparently. If the elders hadn’t forced him to marry a werewolf, he would d
The air was thick with tension and the musky scent of sweat.The moon’s glow filtered through the curtains, casting shadows that danced around the room.Aurora gritted her teeth, clutching the edges of the bed.The pain started as a deep ache in her lower back, intensifying with each passing moment.
“Ahhh…Westin! My…My child!”The room echoed with Aurora’s labored breaths and painful cries.Her eyes were filled with panic, her hand clutching her swollen belly so hard that her knuckles turned white.“It is OK…Baby, it is OK. I am right here with you,” Westin held her hand tightly, desperation et
She vaguely heard the argument going on around her. And she suddenly understood something:…When they first met in the Grace Ruin, Westin always talked about how superior Lycans were compared to the werewolves.She hated that racist thought, which turned out to be planted by Madeline in his head.Sh
“Fuck…Aurora…Aurora! Oh my god…”Westin’s voice was filled with worry and rage, and it was shaking violently.Aurora struggled to open her eyes. But she couldn’t. Her top and bottom lashes were stick together by frost.A large hand covered her eyes, gently rubbing her numb skin.Gradually, her eyela
She turns to the doctor, “Run a couple of tests on her. Now.”Two soldiers jumped at her, pinning her on the spot.The doctor got up to her and took out a needle, tubing, and collection vials.…They were going to take her blood!Aurora’s body tensed all over.If they used her blood to run a DNA test
“Queen Aurora! Open the door! Elder Madeline wants to see you!”Aurora sat by the window and turned to look at the closed door.“Tell Elder Madeline that I am not feeling well and prefer to be alone,” she said coldly.“You are not feeling well, which is exactly why Elder Madeline wants to see you! Y
The swear.She didn’t know the consequences that bore with it back then.Now she knew.Bound by that oath, she was physically forbidden to disclose that secret.It was her own doing.Desperate tears streamed down Aurora’s cheeks as she choked, “D—Damien…God…Please trust me…”“Trust you what?”He too
Aurora couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her own eyes.…Damien?How did Damien get in here?! She thought that there was no way either of them could pass that misted forest!And why didn’t he bring more soldiers? He was here alone, how dangerous!And Westin…It seemed that Westin knew Damien w
Amidst the sea of lilies, fairy lights on the archways and trees twinkled like stars, casting a soft, warm glow.The gentle rustle of leaves, the occasional flutter of butterflies, and the distant murmur of a mountain stream added to the dreamy serenity.A path paved by pedals winded through the sea
