Estelle POV“Are you okay?” I heard a soft voice.“W.water,” I mumbled, my throat dry. I could feel someone moving around, and when I was given the water, I gulped it down hungrily. I breathed out, blinking repeatedly. I looked up, and I was in an unfamiliar room with Queen Aurora beside me.“Welcome back,” she said, smiling. I remembered everything I saw, and the only person I wanted to see was Aurelian.“My mate,” I mumbled. She opened her mouth to talk, but the door flew open, and Aurelian ran inside. He ran to me, seat on the bed, and took me into his warm arms.“You are awake,” he mumbled, breathing out in relief. “I will excuse you two,” Queen Aurora said, but we ignored her. All I could remember was his broken look as he stared at the Aurora portrait, tears running down his face. I held him tight, my heart beating for him, even though I knew it was a forgotten memory. We didn’t exchange any words, but just held each other tight. He breathed a sigh of relief, kissing my head.“
Estelle POVIt was the next day, and Aurelian held my hand as we walked down the hallway. I woke up this morning, and Aurelian didn’t even allow me to freshen up. He wet my body with his powers and dried me up so I felt refreshed, then he allowed me to change my clothes, which made him more angry as he inspected me. I looked in the mirror, and I truly did lose weight. I looked small; the only thing big in my body was my bump, and it is not healthy. I don’t look healthy enough to carry a pup; how did I lose so much weight?Aurelian gripped my hand tightly, but it didn’t hurt. We were approaching the living room for the guests, and we could get their scents. Which makes Aurelian more angry. We kept walking, and we went to the front of the palace, where the king and queen stood beside a carriage. King Titus looked a bit afraid. Queen Aurora had a poker face on, but I could see the fear in her eyes. Aurelian was totally in beat mode, his canines out and his eyes gold. Black fur covered hi
Estelle POV“What did you mean, nutrient?” I asked, sitting up.“Lycan pups are hard to carry. They grow fast while in the belly, making the mother weak, and they also feed on energy. The only way to survive is to eat enough nutrients and also feed on your mate. But she put you in a sedative state; you can’t eat; Aurelian can’t also help; you could have died,” she said. Why am I just hearing this? Is this what happened with Rose also? “Yes, that is what happened with Rose; you would have died even if we didn’t get beaten up. She was feeding on your energy; beating you up only made the process faster,” Aurora said. Knowing this, I was suddenly angry, but I swallowed it.“Maybe she didn’t know,” I said. “Of course she knew everything the king and queen of every kingdom known to supernatural mankind knows. This was a rule passed on for generations, so other kingdoms were aware and war could be avoided. Just like how we know witches are not to eat certain foods while carrying their youn
Estelle POV“Please, Aurelian, I know she did wrong, but let’s all focus on Kion first; after that, we can do something about the witches,” I said. He gave me a long look.“Please, Kion is more dangerous to us all. After that, you can go after the witches, and I won’t stop you,” I said, placing my hand on his cheeks. He breathed out, then took me in his arms, sitting on the couch. He dipped his face in my neck, taking in my scent as he held me tight, but not uncomfortably tight. I brushed his hair.“I want to kill that bitch,” he mumbled. I nod my head.“You can do it after we take care of Kion,” I said. He breathed out again, cooling off. Then he pulled back and gave me a long look.“We have to put a lot of meat into you,” he said. I smiled.“See, there are other things we need to focus on,” I said. He rubbed my stomach.“Promise me one thing,” he said. I looked at him, wondering what.“What is that?” I asked.“When I finally decide to call war on the witches, do not stop me,” he sai
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. “
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 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 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
