Red POVI squint my eyes opened, breathing out. I looked around, and I was in the penthouse. I tried to sit up, but I lay down as my body throbbed in pain. The door opened, and Maven ran inside.“Are you okay?” she asked, helping me up and putting a pillow behind me. I looked down at my leg, and there was a cast on my right leg and scratches on my hands and arms. My left hand was in pain, so I used my right hand to touch my neck, and there was a cast on my neck.“Why am I on two casts? My wolf should have healed me by now,” I said. She sighed.“Yasmine used all her power to throw you into that wall; you are severely injured, and it will take 2 or 3 days to heal you,” she said. My mouth hung open.“She has that much power over me.” I asked.“Yes, she is a Lycan; you are a wolf. She could kill you,” she said. I sighed.“I am not safe with her around,” I said. She shook her head.“You are; she is powerless against you now,” she said.“How?” I asked.“Well, Aurelian removed her Lycan powe
Trigger Warning! Mentions of rape!Red POVIt has been two days since the whole Yasmine mishap. I have not seen Yasmine or heard anything about her; the only people I have seen are Aurelian and Maven. I have heard Felix’s voice, and that is it. I don’t know why Aurelian decided to hide me away in his penthouse, but I don’t want to question it. I have grown used to being cuddled to sleep, waking up to his deep morning voice, sleepy hair, and delicious food. It has been two days, but somehow it’s like a routine for me already. But this morning, however, I woke up, and I am not seeing Aurelian.“Where is he?” I asked myself, yawning. The door opened, and he came in all dressed up.“Good morning,” he said, smiling. I looked at him all over.“Why are you dressed?” I asked.“I am giving you a tour around the academy,” he said. I nodded my head. I was hoping he was taking me on the date he planned. Did he even mention a date? Don’t go over yourself, Red; just go with the flow.“I will get re
Red POVWe toured around the academy, and it wasn’t like I expected. Rodney and Aurelian were awfully quiet after a visit to Kion. I could see Aurelian still boiling in anger and I know he has all rights to be angry because I would also be angry, but the tour ended with me asking questions carefully in order not to make him more angry and Rodney answering the best way he could.“Don’t think about it too much,” Rodney said to Aurelian as we stood in front of the elevator.“I will try,” he said, and they shared a warm hug.“See you later, Red,” he said, smiling, and he left after my short wave. Aurelian entered the elevator, and immediately the elevator closed. I found myself backed up to the wall, his lips on mine. I was shocked for a second as it happened so suddenly. Is that why he has been staring at me all day? He carried me up, my legs wrapped around his waist, and I kissed him back roughly. I moaned, my body shivering as his hand went inside my shirt. His bare palms gripped my wa
Red POVIt’s been a few days, almost a week, and I barely see Aurelian. Come in late; wake up early. I only see him a few times, and when I see him before I say a word, he is out. Today, however, the leaders have arrived, and we are having the meeting. I am seriously not interested in the meeting; I would rather be with Aurelian, and his disappearing style is giving me anxiety. Did I do something wrong? Did I offend him? What happened suddenly? We were cool, but the next day we were not; he didn’t even look at me. I entered the conference room and looked for a random seat. The men looked at me, and I ignored them all, thinking about Aurelian.“Is that Red?” a voice asked. I sighed. This is why I hate having my hair opened and the attention it brings, but this time I won’t close it. Aurelian walked in with Maven, and I couldn’t help but admire him in all his glory. He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, with his crown sitting on his head. Everywhere was very quiet as he took
Red POVLiam and I walked out of my room; it was evening, and it was time for him to leave as we had been sleeping. We got to the living room, and they were all here. By all, I mean Aurelian, Maven, Felix, and Rodney. They looked at Liam, shocked and surprised.“Who is he?” Maven asked.“Good evening, your majesties; I am Liam,” he answered, bowing his head a bit. They all looked at him, not saying anything; well, they all looked except Aurelian, and I looked at him, expecting something from him, anything. But instead, he stood up and walked out. My eyes watered instantly as I tried to blink it in.“So this is, um, your mate?” Maven asked. I nodded my head empty, and I could tell Liam was happy.“We will take our leave now,” I said, dragging him off. We didn’t exchange words, and we just kept on walking, not saying anything. We walked farther from the hotel, and he stopped.“I will take my leave from here,” he said. I looked up at him, nodding my head.“See you later,” I said, smiling
Red POVI flickered, my eyes opened, and my head was banging. I felt like someone hit a bell on my head.“Easy,” the voice said, and my eyes opened widely. Aurelian was sitting beside me on the bed. I was confused. How did I get here?“Are you okay?” he asked. I touched my head, and I noticed there was a towel on my head, and I was sweating.“I don’t know,” I whispered, my voice hoarse.“You’re hot; your body is heating up, and you keep murmuring in your sleep,” he said, touching my forehead. Why do I feel so hot?“How did I get here?” I asked. He looked at me weirdly.“You don’t remember?” he asked, surprised. I shook my head.“You left with that wolf, and you didn’t come back. We searched for you and saw you passed out in the woods near a pond,” he said, and I remembered. Aurora visited me, and when she left, I passed out. I looked at Aurelian; my throat was dry, I felt hot, and for some reason I felt horny.“Aurelian,” I moaned, grabbing him by his clothes. He looked at me, confuse
Red POVI sniffed, and the smell of bacon and pancakes entered my nose. My stomach growled as I turned to the side. I am probably so hungry that I am imagining bacon and pancakes. I heard a laugh.“Wake up,” he said, and I felt the bed going down. I opened my eyes, and Aurelian was looking at me in his full glory. Is it just me, or is he glowing? He has a radiant smile on his face, putting on a comfortable short and tank top, showing all his biceps. So handsome.“You can eat me up later, but satisfy your stomach first,” he said. And my stomach growled. A small blush sat on my face as I sat up, then I looked down, and I was stark naked. I gasped loudly, covering my body with the sheets. Then I remembered what happened in the night, and I was so shy. Pictures of me begging to be fucked run through my head, and I just wished in that moment the ground could swallow me up. He chuckled, removing the sheet from my body.“You were not this shy yesterday,” he said, looking at me. I bit my lips
Red POVIt’s been three days staying in the man cave, and nothing has changed. I have heat 2 to 3 times a day, and those days I am very horny and ripping his clothes off, but Aurelian has been doing a great job not having sex with me or marking me. Well, I expect nothing less from him; he has been a Lycan for thousands of years. There is no way he would easily just give in, so today I am going to seduce him. I don’t know if it’s the heat working or if I am truly horny. I don’t care, but he must give in to my demands. He doesn’t even allow me to touch him; he has been living with a boner for three days.“Perfect,” I said, smirking at the lacy red lingerie I was putting on.“Thank goddess, I got these,” I murmured, admiring how they looked on me. Well, the day I dragged Adrain to the boutique, I got this just to make him uncomfortable; he wasn’t comfortable with him going shopping with me, and I wanted to tease him a little, a brief shout out to Adrain. I took the black robes and wore t
Estelle POVA shrill cry from my pup rang in the ward, and I breathed a sigh of relief, slumping on the bed.“It’s a boy!” Aunt Clara exclaimed, carrying him up. I looked at the boy with a head filled with black hair as he cried out loudly. “Bring him,” I said with a hoarse voice. Tears were running down my face as I sat up weakly. I have been in labour since the previous morning, and now it’s the next day and in the evening. The labour was extremely long; I was in serious pain, and the doctors were confused as the pup wasn’t coming out. Aurelian was chased out because he started panicking and screaming at the doctors, and he and his aunt had to take control of everything. After those long, painful hours, I felt happy as I finally settled into my arms.“It was worth it,” I cried, rubbing his head. He squirmed around in my arms, his eyes closed. Aunt Clara covered him up, and his cries gradually decreased. I smiled at his chubby cheeks and patiently waited for him to open his eyes.He
Aurelian POVWe stopped in front of a cave, and I kept standing here.“We have been riding for too long; what is going on?” Felix asked. I smiled.“I am waiting for Estelle to direct us,” I said.“Estelle, I thought you said you were going to keep her safe?” Aunt Clara asked.“Yes, but she can’t lie to me. I know she would be up to something; Estelle can’t just stay out of everything,” I said, coming down from the horse. I walked to the cave, and I felt the energy again—very dark energy.“The energy is dark,” Aunt Clara said. I nod my head.“This is where he is hiding,” I said.“We don’t have any witches to help us break it,” Rodney said. I smiled.“We wait for Estelle,” I said. I was worried about her, but on our journey here, I realised I shouldn’t have wanted to lock her up. I can’t shield her from this war; it is all about her and what Aurora has passed on to her. I was worried about our pup and her. I don’t want anything to happen to them, but I am happy she wants to do this as a
Third-person POVEstelle and Queen Aurora got to the front of the cave, and they stood there. Ophelia was still finding it hard to find Estelle; she had grown more worried and unsettled as the feeling increased. Kion has spent his time with his daughter, Maven, who has no idea what is happening around her. “Where is Aurelian?” Estelle whispered to Zira, who was on her horse beside her.“They are 30 minutes away from the second entrance; why did you make us stand here?” she asked. “I want him there earlier,” she answered, looking at the entrance. Just exactly how it was, but she could feel the energy coming from it; this is what Aurelian must have felt to know something was blocking him off.“Break it,” she said to Zira. Zira climbed down from her horse and walked to the entrance. Breeze blew them harshly as Zira brought her hand out to suck in the energy.“Wait,” Queen Aurora said from her horse coming down. Zira turned to her, confused.“There is dark energy sealing the spell; stan
Third-person POVHorses rode roughly as Aurelian led his troupe. His warriors and generals all follow behind him. The ground shook, and the branches on the trees all moved violently as the horses and sturdy legs collided with the soil. The smaller packs, aware of what was happening, stayed in their packs nervously as the king and his men passed. Everyone was nervous; families prayed to the moon goddess for their sons following the king’s army. It was finally time for war, which would determine a lot for the wolves and the world.“It’s nice to see you again, Queen Estelle.” Meanwhile, in another place stood Estelle and her troupe of warriors, which she arranged without her mate knowing. A black robe wrapped around her neck, her hair blowing gracefully behind her. She was dressed in a black jumpsuit with armour covering her arms, chest, and legs. They all can’t deny how strong her aura is; even Queen Aurora could feel it. Well, the night was dangerous, and Estelle wasn’t holding back he
Estelle POV“Everything is set; we move tomorrow night,” Aurelian said as we lay on the bed. “I thought you didn’t want me to know?” I asked. He breathed out.“Well, I don’t want you to know to protect you and our pup. Tomorrow you and Zira will be in the secret bunker; you two seem close these days, and she is a witch,” he said. I breathed out again. Well, it’s been a month, and Aurelian and his men found a loop for Kion, but it’s not really a loop. It’s a fake loop, Zira, and I put in to make them go to another place. We have set our motion in motion, and Aurelian doesn’t have any idea what I am doing. I just hope we come out victorious and everyone is safe.The past one month has been very hectic. I was bust just the same way Aurelian was busy, but he doesn’t know. It was hard doing some things without him knowing; I had to threaten a few people. I just hope everything really goes according to plan.“Can Zira break the man’s cave from inside? Just you know I aunt Clara can get to
Estelle POVI looked at the men training; they were training hard, their bodies drenched in sweat.“The king is not backing down; he is training these warriors hard,” Zira said, sitting beside me. I nod my head. I am actually surprised, but I shouldn’t be. He is the Lycan king and has been one for years; he has been to many battles and has won; this wasn’t his first time.“Nothing from Kion?” she asked, whispering very low. I shook my head. “I am a bit worried,” I said, smacking my lips. It has been 2 weeks, and I haven’t heard anything from him. Aurelian has refused to include me in anything concerning the war, but Adrain updates me. They have no idea where he is; they are trying to track him but always end up blocked. I know it’s because the beach is hidden, but I feel proud. They know Kion is near, but something is restricting them.Aurelian is really a great king, smart, calculative, and powerful. The best king the wolves could ever have. But I really don’t want this war. I feel
Estelle POVZira and I stood together as we watched Kion sleeping on the bed, comfortably and naked.“He is causing ruckus out there, but here he is sleeping like he is dreaming of angels,” I smeared, shaking my head in disappointment. Zira giggled.“The Lycan royalty are such a fine specimen; he looks like a god with that face and toned body,” Zira said dreamily. I don’t blame her; the three brothers are handsome with unique features; if only they were all on the same side, they would have been unstoppable. I sighed, twirling my hand, and Kion jumped up in shock as the steamy water hit his skin. He was about to yell out in anger, but I used my powers to seal his lips. He looked in our direction, and his eyes widen in shock and slight anger.“We won’t want to alert the guards outside,” I said, smiling. He growled.“What are you doing here, and how did you get here?” he snapped.“Well, I got here with the help of my friend here,” I said, gesturing at Zira.“Hi,” she said, waving. He gl
Estelle POVI walked down the hallway, looking for Felix. It’s been two weeks, and everything has been calm. I have been eating a lot, and I am slowly gaining weight. Aurelian has been busy; he is still on the edge, but it has reduced. He can’t be with me the whole day, but he checks up on me from time to time. I am tired of sitting around, so I am looking for Zira, but I have no idea where she is, and Felix’s mind link is blocked.“You are the queen and more powerful than him; break into his mind link,” Aurora said, rolling her eyes at me. Now, why didn’t I think of that? I stopped walking, focusing on Felix. His mind link was blocked, but I forced my way in.“Felix!” I screamed into his mind. I giggle, literally feeling him jump in fear.“What the fuck!” he screamed back at me. I rolled my eyes at him.“Where is Zira?” I asked. But he blocked me back. How dare he?“Felix!” I yelled, crossing my arms.“For fuck’s sake, Estelle!” he yelled.“Where is Zira? I need her,” I said.“Zira i
Estelle POVI slowly opened my eyes, and I was not in my room. Instead, I was in a field. Okay, seriously, I am tired of seeing this field, all familiar but at the same time different.“I’m sorry to bring you here, Queen Estelle,” the familiar voice said. I turned around, and Queen Aurora stood there, looking at me. I didn’t know if I should be angry or calm, so I looked at her without saying anything.“I know you have all the right to be angry with me, but I need to talk to you,” she said. “Why?” I asked. She breathed out.“I knew the Lycan King wouldn’t have listened to me if I had told him the dangers of what I was about to do,” she said.“So you decided to put your kingdom at risk?” I asked. She smiled.“I don’t mind if the king wants to go to war with us; we would fight back, but first let Kion be out of the way,” she said. I smiled.“You are awfully brave, Queen Aurora,” I said. “We are not as weak, Queen Estelle,” she said formally.“Why have you brought me here?” I asked. “
