Please stay with the story, lovelies 💞💞
Vincent’s P.O.V. “No, don’t touch me!” Unable to open her eyes, Lizette kicked her legs violently, pushing me away. Her relentless attempts to refuse some relief in her current condition welled tears in my eyes, she was too strong despite being a weak omega. Her self-restraint amazed me, it was hard to pin her down forcefully. “Little Swan, it’s me, Vincent!” My voice couldn’t erase her suspicion as she sniffed, mimicking a cute rabbit. “No, you don’t smell like him. Stay away!” Her statement reminded me of my lycan form, so I swiftly shifted to set my scent free for recognition. My scent tried to overpower my Little Swan’s sexy scent hanging in the air, which was drastically changed after marking. Her sweet Lilac perfume was now mixed with my masculine scent, announcing my claim on her. She was my Erasthai, wearing my mark, it was a shut-up call for any male dreaming about her. I wished to admire my soulmate’s beauty for a long time, but unfortunately, I was hell late. Pr
Lizette’s P.O.V.Can you believe it?Vincent returned to be with me!His lycan didn’t stay away from me for long and came back, securing me in his embrace. For a moment, I couldn’t recognize him and behaved rudely. But still, he didn’t mind it and handled me with care.I slept shortly after snuggling to his chest, and now after waking up, I just wanted to see him. The first thing that my brain registered was the relief from both pain and heat, I was finally able to be myself. Then I checked the left side of my neck, fearing the large wound, but the bandage on it rejuvenated my soul. It meant that Vincent didn’t mind my slow healing and called a doctor for me as well.Overjoyed by these miraculous occurrences, I turned to thank my mate; however, the empty side of bed put a damper over it. He was gone, leaving me alone in his room. I threw my head on the pillow and sighed,“Why are you behaving so strangely, Vincent?”He spoiled me with his love, filling my head with best-case
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Dark shade herb?” The doctors repeated the name of herb as if they hadn’t smelled it before on Vincent. One of them asked me. “How are you so sure about it, Your Highness?” Placing my hand in Vincent’s chest, I tried to calm my panic as the flood of tears streaming down my cheeks had tightened my throat. Inhaling deeply, I confirmed that herb and replied. “This is the dark shade herb. Pointed webbed leaves, small black flowers, and dicot roots. It’s poisonous. Keep it away from His Majesty!” The doctors nodded and wrote something on the pads they were holding. Vincent held my hand and spoke meekly. “Why did you come out of the room, Little Swan? Don’t you know it’s not allowed?” Even his shaky tone sounded bossy, hinting towards his Royal authority. But I didn’t give a damn about his rules and asked him. “When did you fall ill, Your Majesty? And why didn’t you tell me? I could have stayed with you for fast healing!” Our mate-bond had the power to share
Lizette’s P.O.V. And … I was caught red-handed! My absence didn’t let Vincent’s rest, and he came to the forest, following my scent. There was a slim possibility of escaping his supernatural nose, so I tried to test my luck. But it was in vain. After all, the legends weren’t wrong about the sharp senses of an Alpha! Vincent’s ablaze eyes were fixed on me, so I stood before my plants and replied to him calmly. “And you aren’t in good health! Am I right?” Instead of getting scared, I countered his lie, giving him a reality check. “You have lied about your illness from me, Vincent. It’s not …” Unfortunately, my mate didn’t like my disobedience. He chewed every word as a loud growl escaped from his mouth, trembling my heart. “When I give you an order, you are supposed to obey it. How dare you leave the mansion without my permission?” His Alpha tone forced Onyx in submission, she whimpered in fear. “Mate is angry, Liz. Apologize quickly!” Apology? My foot! That was it for
Lizette’s P.O.V. Goddess, what was he doing! My breath hitched to my throat as I widened my eyes, trying to believe the situation in front of me. Firstly, I found myself lying half naked with my pajamas gone, Vincent’s bare arm around my waist made me gulp hard. Then his face between my legs short-circuited my brain as his shining lips curled up in a smirk, his breath fanned my kitty as he spoke, “Rise and shine, Little Swan. Your King is at your service.” His amber eyes had shifted from amber to golden, and started to darken dangerously, filled with pure lust. A light bulb flickered in my head as I found myself unable to process this set up quickly, but before it could light up, Vincent shut it off with a loud growl. “Don’t think too much, Little Swan. Just moan my name.” The look he gave me before diving his head between my legs lit a fire of desire in my core, clenching with need. I was aware of going down on women and all that, but experiencing it in person made me a bi
Lizette’s P.O.V. Last night was undoubtedly the best night ever in my life, Vincent recovered from that deadly poison and surprised me with passionate coitus. It really blew my head away. I had planned the night of our mating with a cheesy and romantic atmosphere, but what Vincent did was beyond the best. It was simply amazing! Yawning lazily, I rolled over, waking up after my beauty sleep was such a beautiful feeling. Last night’s exhaustion put me to sleep shortly after we snuggled. And now the sunlight peeking through curtains had announced that the Sun was high in the sky. Stretching my body, I raised my hand to grab a spare pillow from the side, only to hit a solid wall of muscles. What was that? As Vincent must have gone to work as usual, I thought my hand must have collided with the headboard. With my eyes still closed, I reached out to push it away, but I came in contact with warm skin. My eyes popped open as Vincent was still sleeping on his side. Oh, Goddess! Didn’t
Lizette’s P.O.V. My demand instantly changed the atmosphere of the dining room, the air crackled with tension as the horizontal lines of worry appeared on Vincent’s forehead. He thought for a while and then spoke seriously. “I have decided to address this issue in Court. But as now you have asked for it as the mating gift, I will comply with your wishes. I would like to ask a query before starting the formal proceedings.” He paused for a second, racing my heart. Call it funny, but I always found myself frozen whenever Vincent acted like a true King. His dominating aura exuded icy frostiness, intimidating others in its wake. I hardly stopped shaking as he asked me. “If one of your academy fellows is hurt during this trial, will you be Ok with it?” Vincent’s query puzzled me, I was unable to connect the dots of the attack and the innocent student. My academy fellows were also teenagers like me, preparing for their careers in the future. However, I trusted my mate for justice,
Lizette’s P.O.V. My heart dropped to my stomach as I forgot to breathe for a moment, rubbing my eyes to clear my vision. Beta Arlo had grabbed the collar of the chained culprit, who was none other than Madelyn, the next Alpha of the Nightfall Pack and Brandon’s fiancé. Her worn-out condition quacked the ground below me. I heard Liana’s startled gasp, she spoke shakily. “Madelyn? What’s going on here, Liz?” She didn’t hold back, voicing my inner turmoil, “How can she attack His Majesty? She is just a student like us.” Onyx growled at Madelyn; she was furious to know the identity of the criminal. “How dare she hurt our mate, Liz? She should die now!” A volcano of fury erupted in my chest, burning me with its molten lava as my body shook with rage, I balled my fingers into a fist. “If Vincent has arrested Madelyn, I don’t need any explanation. She must be the culprit!” Vincent didn’t waste much time and asked Beta Arlo to display evidence of crime in public. Some guards set
Vincent’s P.O.V.Leaving Little Swan at her dad’s villa was my life’s toughest decision ever, it was challenging to take one step away from her when my soul was literally torn into tiny little pieces. But I had to do it for the sake of our future, my Erasthai wanted some space to evaluate her emotions.She was so precious, so delicate that I just wished to hide her somewhere safe so that no one could harm her. Tackling this pack’s war was also a part of my plan. The rogues were causing the ruckus on the borders, eliminating my elite warriors, my pack wasn’t a safe place for my Little Swan to live in. That was the reason that I gave to my growling lycan, who was clawing my defense walls, demanding to go back.“The throne and royalty can go to hell, Vincent. I want to be with my Erasthai.”Well, I tried my best to explain that to Mr. Bancroft as well, but he didn’t let me stay at his villa before. I even offered him.“I know I have wronged Lizette. But for God’s sake, give me a c
Vincent’s P.O.V.The wave of intense pleasure coursing through my body prickled goosebumps over my skin, making me lose control. Previous days were like hell for us as grieving parents, we were deprived of our happiness all of a sudden. I thought it to be the end of our relationship, Little Swan would never love me again. But it was a miracle that the Moon Goddess blessed her with a true Nymph’s powers as a beginning of the new era of harmony. My Erasthai agreed to be my Luna.Her touch was like the first drop of rainfall after decades of drought, I finally believe the height of good luck. She accepted the official status by combining her blood, sharing her soul with me. Every speck of my existence was dancing in glee. I wished this moment lasted for the rest of my life. Relishing the unique, heart fluttering sweetness of my mate, I was bathing in the showers of mate-bond’s bounties when Little Swan flinched, pulling away abruptly.“No!”Her eyes grew impossibly wide as she ru
Lizette’s P.O.V.After six months of mating, it was funny that still I didn’t get a mating ceremony, this auspicious event seemed out of my reach. Perhaps, the Moon Goddess didn’t want me to taste that happiness before the completion of my duties. So, when the entire pack was preparing for tonight’s ceremony, I took some rest and started investigating the poison. Dylan was back with the reports of his blood sample.As he was busy with his personal matters, his sire reported to me on his behalf.“Prince sent samples to the lycan’s laboratory and our best scientific labs, Your Highness. Here is the report of our experts.”The report from the Vampires’ city was eye-opening, blowing my head away. My heart dropped to my stomach to read fifty components of the poison.The details of some seasonal and exceptional herbs were pointing towards the dilemma of a strong effect on shifters. That was why no one could ever resist its power. Moreover, this successful experimentation added a
Lizette’s P.O.V.The uninvited presence in my room startled us, we both stood up in a split second. Unlike me, my mom was all respectful and courteous all of a sudden, welcoming that intruder.“Greetings, Your Majesty. Please sit!”“No!”I received my mom’s glare from being rude as I asked.“What happened, Your Majesty? Why are you here?”Picking leaves from his suit, Vincent quickly straightened up. “My apologies!It wasn’t my intention to scare you.”As this wasn’t a satisfactory answer, I waited for Vincent’s reply, but my mom acted all nice. “Please have a seat, Your Majesty. Let me bring coffee for you.”“No, thanks, Mrs. Bancroft.” Vincent requested politely, “Actually, I am here to see you. Can we talk?”His request instantly aroused my curiosity, so I sat down with them to hear him out. “Please pardon my manners.But I would like to express my concerns over a recent conversation with Lizette, Mrs. Bancroft.”For straight five minutes, Vincent apologized by
Lizette’s P.O.V. “How could I miss that?” Racing my feeble legs, I tried my best to follow that superfast vampire, drunk by the exhilaration of finding his mate. After knowing Dylan for three months, I was well aware of his impatient nature, he could be a little insensitive while stating harsh facts. Now, his mate was my sick buddy, I couldn’t trust him with her at all. Yes! My BFF Liana was his mate according to my wild guess! She was the only unmated or ex-mated female I met today, her delicate condition flipped my heart in my chest. She was recovering from the devastation of losing her mate after the completion of the mating ritual. It was impossible to predict how she was going to react to this news of a second chance mate. Mate and a vampire? It was a perfect recipe for disaster! As I reached the residential area of my pack, the real-life scenes of my horrifying imaginations welcomed me. I found Dylan surrounded by a massive crowd of enraged pack mates. Men and
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. Calming my racing heart, I placed my hand on
Lizette’s P.O.V.“I am coming!”A cry emerged from the depths of my heart as I forced my feeble legs to run as fast as possible, following a superfast creature wasn’t easy for an omega like me.But still, I hastened my steps, calling that cruel fox.“Leave this bunny alone, monster!”In normal circumstances, hunting for hunger was a usual matter. 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. My heart raced l
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. I couldn’t do anything to relieve you
