Thank you so much for your continuous support, lovelies. It means a lot 💞💞
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Arlo, can’t you keep your mouth shut?” Vincent’s thunderous growl shook the entire room as he bared his claws at his Beta, racing my tiny heart. I had to intervene before he could lash out at him. “It’s not a big deal, Your Majesty!” Circling my arms around his neck, I stood closer to him. “I just wish to know why you give up so early? From what I have read online, Lycans have to wait for centuries in order to meet their soulmates.” Vincent’s warm hand supporting my back brought a smile on my face, he pulled me closer and said, “Lycans are indeed unfortunate in this department. Finding a soulmate is harder than searching for a needle in a haystack. And mostly, men go rogue or develop obsessive behavior due to loneliness. Even my dad has to wait one hundred and fifty years to finally meet my mom.” Vincent’s solemn tone became sad all of a sudden as his grip around me tightened, he spoke dolefully. “After my dad’s death, I had to leave everything and take o
Lizette’s P.O.V. The box of sexy lingerie was carefully stacked on the corner, considering my shyness. However, Vincent didn’t know how much I was craving him. Until now, we had just kissed on dates and snuggled occasionally, avoiding physical intimacy at any cost. It was a fact that the attraction that we felt was undeniable, and we would end up making love in our first try for sure. But Liana gave me an expert opinion on this issue, she was concerned about my mated life. “Being mates doesn’t mean that you will mark each other for the very first time, Liz. Try first base, second base slowly, and then get rid of unnecessary shyness and fear. Trust me, Liz! You will never wish to waste such a beautiful time due to unreasonable restraints.” As I was the one who proposed no marking, I decided to take the initiative, talking about this matter would help me to understand Vincent’s perspective. After all, he had to control his lycan from marking. My wolf was toothless and clawless,
Lizette’s P.O.V. Vincent straightened back up while I was still coming down from my high. I breathed in sharply as he put his fingers, which were inside me a few moments ago, to his mouth and licked my juices, cleaning them off. Honestly speaking, I had seen this in adult movies and hadn’t found the least bit sexy, but this Greek god had made it look damn hot, throbbing my core with a newfound heat. Just watching him lick away made me imagine all the pleasures that tongue could bring me. Vincent raised his brow, and smirked slyly, “I think I have finally found a way to make you scream, Little Swan.” This low chuckle sent vibrations all over my body as he leaned on me once more. Feeling his hungry gaze roaming over my bare skin, I didn’t feel any speck of disrespect or frustration. Instead, I felt safe even in this vulnerable position, it was everything like I ever imagined. My mate, his loving gestures, and the overwhelming sense of security surrounding my existence, this perfe
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Vincent!” My heart danced in glee to see my mate in his Limo, waiting for me. I threw my clutch on the seat and rushed to hug him. “You are so bad, Your Majesty. Why did you tease me like that?” Vincent brushed my hair and chuckled, his melodious laughter skipped my heartbeat. “You were stressing so much for this prom. So, I pranked you to lighten your mood.” Pulling me closer, he placed his thumb under my chin, lifting my head to look directly into my eyes. The flicker of gold in his amber orbs mesmerized me as he spoke huskily. “I can do anything to see the happiness on this stunning face, Little Swan. You look a thousand times more beautiful while smiling.” My cheeks burned to hear Vincent’s nifty words of affection; he always knew how to sway my heart with cheesy lines. He then leaned in, racing my heart, and gently kissed my cheek. “Although you are perfect the way you are, this dress complements your natural beauty. I am so glad that you chos
Lizette’s P.O.V. My diaries? Shoot! Brandon’s mysterious tone quaked the ground below me, he was definitely hinting towards my deepest secret. As I was a single child with working parents, my grandma taught me to write a diary for my loneliness. It made me feel that I share my daily routine with a friend after a long day. This hobby was an irregular chore, but I became habitual after falling in love with Brandon, writing down my feelings for him. He was the son of our Alpha, the most eligible bachelor in our pack. So, I knew very well that I had to keep my feelings in my heart to avoid unnecessary conflicts. For reference, all girls were crazy for Brandon, trying their best to date him even for a week. In these circumstances, my yearly diary turned out to be my best buddy. I noted Brandon’s every habit, every achievement, and every important moment of his life. In short, those diaries were my research thesis on him. After recognizing Vincent as my mate, I hid all the diar
Lizette’s P.O.V. Oh, my Goddess! Vincent? For the first time, seeing my mate’s lycan terrorized me to the core, I was riveted to my spot. His low, deterred growls rippled through my body as he stalked towards Brandon dangerously. “Lizette is your first chance mate. Is that why you rebelled against me, Alpha Brandon?” Startled by his query, I took two steps backwards, my mind was stuck on the quest to solve the puzzle of his sudden appearance. Vincent had a meeting, and he spared some time to drop me at the prom’s venue. He didn’t let Henry and Lucas follow me there as they could ruin my night, then how the hell did he come here and find us? And not only did he catch me with Brandon, but he also overheard his blabbering as well. Only the Moon Goddess knew how much he heard as the savage fire in his orbs was intimidating, striving its best to burn me inside out. He was hell furious, baring his claws to tear us apart. But this sight became the second issue in my list as Brandon
Lizette’s P.O.V.What?Vincent’s baseless accusations even after my sincere apology removed the haze of guilt from my mind, I was shocked to see this side of my mate. Due to our age difference, he was a bit insecure before, but we were past that. Then what was the reason for mentioning Brandon as my young lover?A sudden surge of anger burnt me inside out, I felt insulted by his harsh statements. But it would be rude to raise my voice in front of my mate. So, hardly suppressing my bad temper, I spoke solemnly,“I am being honest with you, Your Majesty. It wasn’t my intention to accept Alpha’s offer after everything.I have no emotions for him in my heart!”“Oh really?” Vincent’s mocking tone dripped deadly venom as he spat out, “Then what about countless promises of staying by his side? That album was just a glimpse of your six years of affection, but still, it was enough to reveal your heart. So, please stop fooling me and speak the truth!”In the next five minutes, Vincent
Lizette’s P.O.V. After the age of sixteen years, the content regarding mating and marking was added to our curriculum, making us aware of different traditions. Our syllabus was mostly focused on heat and duties; however, there was one book about weird concepts related to the mate-bond in some packs. I still remembered a specific rule in the Purity Pack, which haunted me for days. It was never in my mind that I would become a victim of such a cruel practice. According to the rule, the girls in the Purity Pack were bound to stay physically and emotionally pure for their mates, thinking about another man throughout their lives was a sin for them. And if a female was caught doing so, she was punished severely for breaking this law. Leaving the mating ritual incomplete was one of the heartless punishments, where a female was tortured by the first heat. Her mate locked her up alone to endure that strong call of bond for mating. My current situation poured rivers of sweat down my bare
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 women
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
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. My all
Lizette’s P.O.V.***“It’s a white bunny!”Sprinting in the woods, I spotted a lovely white bunny, the one I always wanted for me. A wave of exhilaration washed over me as I started following that cute creature, hoping for the best.“Now, I won’t be lonely!”The gusts of fresh morning breeze caressed my face as I moved forward, making me feel liberated. It was like I had tasted freedom after a long time, the rich essence of nature rejuvenated my soul. The soft gleams of sunlight illuminating my path brought a sense of familiarity. I was pleasantly surprised to see my pack’s forest. The miracle of returning to my home added to the joy of chasing my dream.I giggled as the bunny hopped over the bushes and bumped into the tree branches. “Easy, my dear!I am not an enemy. 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. I stopped at some distance and crouched down to gai
Vincent’s P.O.V.“Why this?”The world around me spun on its axis as the tab almost slipped from my hands, I couldn’t believe my eyes for a moment.After reading ‘DNC’ written in bold letters, I stared at the doctor, waiting for an explanation. Doctor Sarah’s desperate tone cut through the air as she requested.“I am sorry, Your Majesty. But your child is dead. We need to perform this procedure to save Her Highness’s life. Please …”“No!!!”My mouth opened in a silent scream as I gaped, uncertain whether to scream or breathe. The sharp blade of revelation sliced my heart into two. I stumbled backwards, losing my footing for a brief moment as gargantuan grief enveloped me. I couldn’t even muster the tears to mourn my loss.Just a few hours ago, I was the happiest man in the world, planning celebrations for my son. The news of my heir had solved all my problems. But my fate took a one hundred and eighty-degree turn, destroying my world in a split second. I was on the verge of
