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 girls’ faces changed, looking afraid.They all knew that Aurora was a Gamma.Although they were all Lycans, they had never held a sword in their entire lives, let alone getting blood on their hands. Unlike Aurora.Agnes gulped, nervously, “That…That is great. Well, shall we practice walking? Sin
A deathly silence fell upon them.The ladies stood perfectly still, holding their breaths.Nobody dared to move an inch.“No?” Aurora chuckled icily, “That is what I think.”The guards outside of the door heard Kalinda’s cry for help and came rushing in.“Is there anything wrong, my lady? We heard s
Luminous fairy lights dangled from the branches of trees, making this whole place look like a fairyland.The blooming flowers gave a sweet fragrance to the air, their vibrant colors painted against the canvas of the evening sky.Drapes billowed softly, catching the last hues of the setting sun, crea
That malicious look simply flickered across Agnes’s face.It had vanished when Westin turned around.The softest smile appeared on his lips, “Agnes, you came.”They kissed each other’s cheeks.Agnes’s little gang curtseyed to Westin and said in unison, “My King.”“I should thank you for taking the t
She could tell that Agnes was furious inside.And she looked forward to the day when she exposed Agnes for the hypocrite that she really was.“Dance! Dance! Dance!” the crowd cheered in unison.Westin grinned.He held Aurora’s hand, spinning her into his arms, and gracefully waltzed her into the dan
“There isn’t!”He chuckled lowly, “Fine. Then what should we do before bedtime?”“You can read to me. There is a novel on the nightstand.”With one arm still wrapped around her shoulder, he reached over and grabbed the book.Turning the book to the page that she folded, he started reading.He had a
Her heart was thumping so crazily that she was afraid that he might hear the sound of her heartbeat.But she didn’t let her panic show.“Do you have a trusting issue, Westin?” she asked, pretending to be vexed.“Don’t make this about me, my love.” He raised an eyebrow while saying, “First you manage
“Hey what are you talking about over there? We need our pitcher,” Westin cried to them in the distance.Aurora laughed and patted on Clemente’s shoulder, “You should get back in there.”The game lasted for hours till the moon moved to the center of the night sky.Eventually stewards had to step in a
He kept going till her angry screams completely faded in the distance.***When Clemente returned to the castle, it was already approaching nightfall.He immediately wanted to report back to Aurora.Yet a soldier by the front gate said that the King needed him in the training field.So he turned and
Agnes stared at him.The horrified look faded from her face.Eventually, her face became expressionless.“Yes,” she uttered.“…What?”“I said yes.” Agnes let out a light chuckle, “You were asking me for an answer. I am answering you right now—Yes. I do want Westin for myself.”Clemente gritted his t
“And you are defending her!”Tears streaming down Agnes’s cheeks as she shrieked:“Do you know what a hard time she gave me a couple of days ago? She expelled me from my own tea party, Clemente! How can you ever hang out with her? You swore to your brother on his deathbed that you would always help
After a long while, Clemente put the pregnancy stick into his pocket and picked up the lemonade again.He crossed the lawn and found Aurora and the twins by the water fountain.“You are back!” Belle jumped up as soon as she saw him, “Come and smell the roses, Clemente. The gardener just picked it ou
“Of course, it will!”Belle answered right away:“The fog in the mist forest had nothing to do with the weather. It is a magical power that protects our Kingdom 24/7…”She paused.And then started to giggle, “…kind of like Clemente!”Wells rolled his eyes, “I didn’t know why Westin sent this guy to
Aurora’s mind went blank for a second.Although she had seen this coming, she had not prepared for this.There was actually a baby inside of her body, a baby she could not protect.How would Westin react to this?He would certainly be enraged.He hated Damien to his gut, and he would hate Damien’s k
