Vincent’s P.O.V.

“It’s all Vincent’s fault!”

Ares turned out to be the biggest villain of my life despite being my partner. He chose to blame me as an outsider instead of supporting me.

His betrayal left me with no choice but to subside the flames with promises. Otherwise, I could come up with a convincing justification to satisfy my precious Erasthai.

She was already getting hurt because of the heat of our mate-bond, and now, the tension in the Palace had doubled her misery. I couldn’t think beyond this fact that she was unhappy in her home.

She was right!

If I was unable to ensure her safety, then there was no use of claiming to be a born King!

Utterly embarrassed, I looked for a black hole to engulf me, freeing me of the weight of guilt and remorse. However, Ares didn’t hesitate to sprinkle salt over my injuries and remarked.

“You have made this mess. Now, clear it up like an adult, Vincent.

You aren’t a teenager like our little Swan.”

Fuck!

    Lizette’s P.O.V. When Dylan asked me about my plans, I realized my mistake of ignoring my mate. Because of the chaos in my life, I wasn’t in my right mind, wasting my energy on matters which weren’t of prime importance at all. The Royal Palace, Lady Isabella, and my fitness routine for the Royal ladies had no significance in front of my outstanding mate. He was the sun of my world. My love, happiness, future, everything was connected to Vincent, so how could I pay attention to others instead of enjoying my free time with him? He came back after fighting a bloody war, and then tension in the Palace worried him. It was my duty as a mate to cheer him up. So, wearing a white knee-length frock, I went to see Vincent, whose lips stretched in a wide smile to see me. “Come on in, Little Swan.” He immediately left his work by closing his laptop, stretching his hand for me. I swiftly stepped forward and grabbed his hand. “I hope I haven’t disturbed you, Your Majesty.” Vincent shook his

    Lizette’s P.O.V. What? The temperature of the hall went down to zero as the air became heavy with tension, raising fine hair on my nape. I was riveted to my spot, gawking at the court full of officials. Their judgmental dark eyes made me gulp a lump in my throat. I was in the middle of a real life’s crisis, unable to solve this puzzle of my sudden infertility. And instead of being supportive or understanding, my mother-in-law openly broadcasted this news. She could have complained to Vincent in private, but what was the use of announcing it publicly? The heat of intense gazes burned me in the volcano of embarrassment as an official spoke sternly, shaming me for this brand-new weakness. “His Majesty has ordered us to gather for the introduction of the new Queen. But we didn’t know that she isn’t fit to be an Erasthai. Why didn’t he reject her after the first meeting?” My whole world turned upside down as the tongues wagged viciously, demanding the godforsaken rejection. A cold

    Lizette’s P.O.V. What? Second examination? My dumbstruck gaze remained fixed at Vincent’s face as he uttered those words as a King, prickling goosebumps over my skin. The authority of his tone cut through my heart, shattering the crystal castle of my dreams. In the new light of realization, I clearly saw my place among the high-ranking royals. I wasn’t a mate or the next Queen of the lycans, but a suspected criminal. A panel of doctors would decide whether I was innocent or not. All the lycans bowed and bared their necks, praising Vincent for his flawless justice system as Lady Isabella said. “King Vincent has always advocated for the supremacy of laws. There is a reason that he became the youngest King in history.” Oh, yeah! He was indeed a dutiful King! It was me who expected too much from him. My eyes burned with tears as I blinked them rapidly, saving my face was the only thing that I could do in public now. The slap of harsh reality was enough to wake me up fr

    Lizette’s P.O.V. “Will I face rejection?” Although mentioning such a cursed word ran a jolt of pain across my body, I asked Dylan, he was knowledgeable about laws. Vincent gave me a guidebook for mating and my duties in the Palace, but the issue of infertility wasn’t included in it. Dylan and Jane glanced at each other as their serious expressions made me feel a cold pit in my stomach, I could sense that there wasn’t more than rejection to this punishment. “Let’s not think about these bad things, Your Highness. I know you are perfect.” Jane tried to brush me off, collecting the trash from the bed. So, I begged Dylan. “I want to hear the truth, Dylan. It will help me to be prepared for upcoming disasters beforehand.” As he was present at the court’s meeting, he felt my anguish and sighed. “If the second examination also proves that you are barren, then you will be convicted for fraud and capital offense, Lizette. Even your family will be punished as well

    Lizette’s P.O.V. “My reports?” My stupefied gaze fell at the clock as it was only three hours after my thorough check-up. And doctors had specifically told me that the reports would be directly sent to Vincent tomorrow. Then how? Considering this as a prank, I called off Dylan’s bluff and stood beside my bed. “I am already tense, Dylan. Don’t play tricks on me.” Dylan waved that envelope in front of my eyes and spoke in a desperate tone. “This isn’t a joke, Lizette. Look at this hospital’s monogram. These are your reports.” As Dylan was looking damn serious, I received that envelope with trembling hands, searching for the proof. This white envelope indeed had a monogram of the general hospital as Dylan said, so my heart forgot to beat while I tore the seal. After checking for the time, date, and my name, I blinked my eyes rapidly to clear the haze of fog of uncertainty to read properly. That was the moment of truth, deciding my fate! However, a query popped up in my m

    Vincent’s P.O.V.Not again!The head of the Royal advisory committee, Official Noah, interrupted the announcement at this crucial moment, testing my patience. And it wasn’t the worst part of it.An uninvited guest walked inside the hall, fixing her eyes at me. Ares growled in annoyance.“Evangeline?What is she doing here?”I had especially asked Arlo to send her away to avoid any incidents, and here she was, ruining my plans. If it weren’t for her family services for the throne, I would have kicked her out of the hall.But I had to discipline my emotions and think rationally, my turbulent emotional state had created many troubles for me in the past few weeks.After all, there was no harm in listening to the request.Official Noah spoke after my permission and handed a blue file to Beta Arlo.“As our Court is welcoming your Erasthai, I would like to present your signed decree in the Court, Your Majesty.Please take a look!”That old fogey!There was no need to look at the file as I kn

    Vincent’s P.O.V.What?Little Swan’s dad?Holy cow!If I had to choose among the worst happenings today, this news would easily top the chart without any competition. I was in the middle of a jeopardy and Mr. Bancroft took it as the right time to make an appearance. I was flabbergasted by this coincidence.Beta Arlo sensed my worsening mood and poured me a glass of red wine, his voice was laced with concern.“Is there any problem, Vincent? Will you like me to solve it for you?”I had no doubt of Arlo’s loyalty to me, but I felt hesitant to share my discomfort, jumping to any conclusion without investigation was wrong. Little Swan was my Erasthai and our relationship was strong enough to solve our issues on our own. So, I didn’t share my life crisis and asked him.“Where is Mr. Bancroft right now?”Arlo was puzzled by my query, but he replied to me respectfully.“On the border, Your Majesty. Lady Isabella has strictly instructed the border security to not let any Werewolf i

However, she returned with a bang, almost convincing my mate of her consort’s status. The meeting that I attended was the trailer of her real deal as Dylan kept me updated, Evangeline’s master plan was in action to secure a permanent place in the Palace. Dylan sent me a written message, “Evangeline is using delaying tactics, Lizette. All the harem women are on her side. They have slowed down the process of returning to their territories. Be aware of her!” His warning indeed alarmed me as Jane noticed suspicious movements around my room. “Miss Evangeline’s special maid is inspecting your schedule in the Palace, Your Highness. She is definitely up to something.” The issue of my transformation was already pushing me to th

    Lizette’s P.O.V “I knew it!” Vincent’s ear-shattering growl shook the ground below my feet as he punched that attacker, cursing his entire race. “You aren’t a trustworthy person, leech. I will kill you tonight!” Ares’s death threat instantly converted into reality as he bared his claws, adamant on tearing that vampire apart. My trance was broken by my friend’s pleading. “Save me, Lizette!” Dylan? With his mouth smeared by blood, Dylan was helplessly enduring Vincent’s blows. I had to personally separate them as keeping Vincent at bay was impossible. He roared in fury. “Don’t come in between us, Little Swan. I caught him in the act tonight. He can’t escape the penalty!” Cradling Vincent’s face in my hands, I asked him to look at me. “Look, Vincent! Dylan is a Prince, not an idiot to endanger his fellows’ life like this. Give him a chance to explain himself.” Vincent’s amber eyes glowed golden as he took deep breaths to calm down, but Dylan added fuel to his f

    Lizette’s P.O.V.“Don’t go there alone. Wait for me!”Obviously not!I brushed off Vincent’s reservations and went with Liana, her brother came with us to take his sister back home safely. The doctors had advised us to keep an eye on her, so it wasn’t safe to let her roam outside in the dark.I followed her lead as she pointed towards the north.“I saw her there, Liz!”This forest was my home, so I didn’t need more assistance for guidance. I sent Liana away with Casper, waiting for them to leave safely. Then, moving forward, I looked around curiously.“This way!”A hushed whisper alarming me raised small hair on my nape, running a chill down my spine. The rustling of leaves in the mysterious wind accompanied that whispering as it continued,“We have seen everything. Allow us to show you, dear buddy.”Whoa!Dear buddy?It was a terminology I used to address my tree friends, naming every tree was difficult in these massive woods.

But my emotional attachment to this specific scene drove me nuts. On top of it, I realized that this chase was fruitless after seeing the rabbit barely dodging the fox’s expert jump. A bullet of panic rose in my chest as my entire existence shrieked.“No!!!”At the height of helplessness, a sudden adrenaline rush burst through my veins, energizing my soul. I spread my arms as if my body had a mind of its own. Splaying my fingers in the direction of the fox, I spoke in a strong tone.“Protect my bunny!”As soon as these words rolled out of my tongue, the unrivaled authority of my order alerted the trees around me.

    Lizette’s P.O.V.“A dinner?”My dad’s sudden planning left me aghast, I couldn’t get what he wanted exactly. Two hours ago, he kicked Vincent out, endangering his life by attacking his King. And now, he asked mom to prepare dinner. It was uncalled-for.Dad didn’t bother to respond to my curiosity and took out his cell phone, dialing a number. I was still under the haze of shock when the call connected, disclosing his habitual call for help.As my dad’s side of the family was martyred in the last war, he was the last survivor of the Bancroft family. He was used to calling my grandma for every problem, seeking her guidance like she was his own mom. That was what he did now, and explained my situation for her advice.Grandma spoke in her soft tone, “Get Liz on call, Harvey. I will talk to her.”Mom and dad went outside, giving me privacy in my room. On video call, my grandma was in tears, “So much happened and no one told me. I am sorry, Liz.

    Lizette’s P.O.V.Although it was an out of the blue offer, I got excited, anywhere else was better than staying in the Palace. The wretched memories attached to this massive building made me hostile towards it. I finally felt at peace after boarding the plane. The flight back to the Silver Claw Pack was nostalgic, reminding me how enthusiastic I was before coming to see my mate’s pack. Closing my eyes, I relaxed in the seat, reminiscing about the past when I was eager to leave the Silver Claw Pack.My soul belonged to the lycan pack way before going there. Call it the magic of mate-bond or love of my mate, the pack I grew up in became a foreign, strange town, making me feel weird. I just wanted to have a pair of wings to go to Vincent’s home that time. Chuckling inwardly, I pondered over odd twists of fate which had pushed me to the point where the Lycan Pack and Silver Claw Pack both weren’t my home anymore. I wasn’t sure to whom my heart belonged to.Perhaps it was buried i

    Lizette’s P.O.V. “Confess your crimes!” Vincent’s thunderous growl reverberated in the surroundings, shaking me to the core. He roared in fury, forcing everyone into submission. Lady Isabella and Evangeline, kneeling on the floor trembled in fear, their quivering voices sounded like a symphony to my ears. “Please forgive me, Your Majesty!” Even after everything, I was amazed that they had the guts to ask for forgiveness. Maybe they were certain that their strong connection and services to the throne would save them. After all, why would anyone convict his old companions only because of a mere omega? The spark of interest I felt a few moments ago, has now vanished in thin air, surrounding me with the dark shadows of grief. It was my fate to live like an ordinary omega. Hopeless for my future, I watched the full court’s proceeding as if a film were playing for me. Lady Isabella was the first one to speak. “I apologize for my slandering Her Highness, Your Majesty.

Please stop!I will take care of you.”My soft voice perked up bunny’s ears as he paused to look at me with his sparkling puppy doe eyes, melting my heart.
