Lizette’s P.O.V. King Vincent’s eyes changed their color for a second before he could compose himself, the look of surprise on his face confused me. Was he really thinking that I would give up my life just for a stranger? The air crackled with tension as he spun on his heels sharply, leaving without uttering a single word. My parents’ startling gasps resounded in my ears, they both begged simultaneously. “Please don’t leave, Your Majesty!” But before their pleas could reach that King, he was gone. His assistant stopped my dad, “Please don’t try to follow His Majesty. As Her Highness wishes to continue her studies, we’ll discuss this matter in the Court, and then inform you about the final decision. Until then, take care of our Queen on our behalf.” … My dad grounded me for being rude to my mate and scolded my mom. “It’s all your fault, Ursula. You didn’t teach your daughter to behave well.” Locked in my room, I was listening to that live broadcast of my parents’ fight. I
Vincent’s P.O.V. “Lizette Bancroft. Age 18, one of the brightest students in the Silver Claw academy!” The file containing all the information about my Erasthai was presented by Beta Arlo, he was lecturing me as usual. “Our Queen is alone in the Silver Claw Pack. When will you call her parents?” He turned the pages of the file and pointed out the contact information. “Here are the links to her social media accounts and contact number. Be a man and contact your Erasthai, she must be waiting for you.” “No one is waiting for me!” Fed up by his nosiness, I flipped the table and growled furiously. “That little she-wolf has preferred to study for that stupid graduation over me. Let her stay in that pack to live her life. I’m not interested in a stubborn teenager!” Arlo took two steps back to avoid flying contents of my office table, gasping in disbelief. “Calm down, Your Majesty! Where is your logic? Your Erasthai is young, chasing her dreams like you did in your teen years
Lizette’s P.O.V. “How dare you!” My heart jumped to my throat as my eyes flew open, the sight of a half-shifted lycan growling furiously, shook the ground below me. Puffing her chest with pride, Onyx announced proudly. “Look, Liz! Our mate is here for us. He’s back!” King Vincent? The tall, mighty lycan growing out of his expensive suit was none other than my mate. His blood-red eyes shot fiery daggers at my class fellows as he ordered using his Royal command. “Execute these wolves for insulting my Erasthai. All these nasty spectators will be blinded to enjoying this scene.” A chorus of pitiful cries echoed in the aisle as everyone knelt, baring their necks in submission. “Please have some mercy, Your Majesty!” These severe punishments twisted my guts with fear as I felt a cold dread touching my spine, riveting to my spot. I experienced a massive jumpscare as King Vincent’s assistant, who came to my parents’ Villa, rushed towards me and spoke, “His Majesty is furio
Lizette’s P.O.V. With the book safely packed in my bag, I returned to my dorm after an eventful day. My two roommates Helly and Charlotte were already getting ready to go out with their boyfriends. So, I silently sat on my bed to wait for their exit. Charlotte’s gaze fell on me while applying liner, she hurriedly tapped on Helly’s shoulder. “Her Highness is here!” Here we go! The long greetings and the pledges of loyalty once again tested my patience here, it was quite funny that my mean juniors were behaving so respectfully. In our dorm, students were accommodated according to their ranks. And thanks to my status in the pack, I had to share a room with two omegas. But it didn’t mean that my life was a bed of roses, Helly and Charlotte were no less than Stella. Anyway, they informed me about their date night and even bought me a coffee, tempting me to read a rule book in 2024. My mind became a breeding den of questions for some answers, intensifying my curiosity. I took out
Lizette’s P.O.V.My voice raised an octave, accusing him curtly. “What do you think of me?You thought that sending me a written manual will improve your sex life, or I’ll jump on you after reading about your preferences?Listen to me carefully, Your Majesty.I’m not and will never be interested in lechers. You’re free to go and enjoy your fantasies somewhere else.”I wanted to show him the middle finger at the end of my lash out, but I hardly controlled myself. I couldn’t just use all my tactics at the beginning of the fight. A flash of disbelief sparked King Vincent’s unblinking eyes, his face grew ashen as he said,“What are you talking about, Lizette?”Vincent’s brows rose to form an arc of astonishment as he grabbed that book and read the first page. He swore impulsively,“You’re so dead, Arlo!”He called his Beta to his office, tapping his fingers over the book. King’s calm and composed look was beyond my expectations, he should be seething in anger like a typical Alpha male.
Vincent’s P.O.V. Dinner? My Erasthai was indeed capricious as she asked me for a meal out of the blue. The way she behaved after the ball and then the book’s incident had crossed every possibility of our relationship, leaving me hopeless. But I got this invite right after changing her awful living arrangements, perhaps she liked her new room. Ares, who was worried for a long time, instantly became active, urging me to respond positively. “Say yes, Vincent. What are you waiting for?” Although he was insisting that I go out with Lizette tonight, I thought about my schedule and responded to her, “I’m really thankful for your offer. But it’s not possible due to my official work.” As soon as these words rolled out of my tongue, Lizette’s face lost all its colors, my heart thumped at her disappointed look. She nodded, rapidly blinking her eyes. “It’s alright, Your Majesty!” Her sad eyes plunged a sharp knife in my chest, I couldn’t hold myself back and spoke immediately. “I’m busy
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Sorry, Your Highness. His Majesty is unable to attend the dinner.” What the hell! I took a day off, talked to my parents despite my grievance, and spent an entire day in the kitchen to prepare a feast for him. And that King, he couldn’t keep his word! Although my mom and dad gave me a hundred reasons that he was a King and I should be a considerate mate to understand his difficulties, my heart wasn’t ready to accept them. Firstly, I got rid of that stupid evening gown that I specially wore for him, cursing myself inwardly. There was no use of dressing like an idiot when no one was coming for dinner. It was so difficult to face my parents after this, so I went to the forest to cry my heart out. “Why is it so difficult for us to have a nice conversation in peace?” After rejection, my emotions were all over the place, I didn’t get much time to move on. Brandon was the biggest problem of my life; it wasn’t easy for me to forget him in a day. Then Vincent unexpec
Lizette’s P.O.V. King Vincent’s eyes clouded as he stared at me for a while. Then he took a deep breath, snaking his arm around my waist. “Even my name sounds better when you say it.” My heart sprinted with one thousand beats per second as he scooped me closer, burning my body with an unfamiliar fire. I couldn’t help but flinch as he leaned closer, his dashing face was inches apart from mine as he asked, “May I?” Vincent’s deep, husky whisper shot a tingling sensation down my spine, I was spellbound by charm. As in a daze, I nodded in response, with no idea of his query whatsoever. I just wanted him close to me, a part of me was screaming to sign an agreement for always staying together. Ever so slowly, he titled his head, and his warm lips landed over mine, breaking out goosebumps over my skin. My heart trembled, swaying with the waves of shuddering pleasure of my mate’s touch. Vincent’s lips were soft, drastically different from his tough appearance. Closing my eyes, I lo
