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
Author’s P.O.V. *Three months later!* “What do you mean that Little Swan won’t wake up? Are you out of your mind?” Thundering furiously, King Vincent was on the verge of mental breakdown to hear wretched news of his Erasthai’s illness, Flora had shattered his hopes after promising for a solution. Three months ago, Lizette embraced her nymph’s identity to save the day, but her mate was left alone, hanging by the delicate thread of her promise. Vincent couldn’t keep his claws away while threatening Flora. “If you weren’t my Erasthai’s aunt, I would have buried you alive for cursing my Little Swan. How dare you call her dead? She is breathing!” Flora helplessly looked at the monitors hooked to Lizette’s fragile body; they were blinking to show that the patient was still alive. But she was aware of the risks of an immortal’s birth in the mortal world, so she tried to explain. “Lizette is my only niece, I love her more than my life, Your Majesty. But there are some rules o
Lizette’s P.O.V.Energy supply?What was she talking about?My dumbstruck gaze darted from one corner to another, witnessing a gruesome fight around me. Vincent’s former request flashed across my mind.“You need to stop this bloodshed as soon as possible, Little Swan!”Shoot!It only took a moment to solve this puzzle, drawing a conclusion that Evangeline had deliberately waged this war to divert our attention, killing innocent people was her method to drain power for her borrowed magic.Although she was witch Miranda’s granddaughter, she wasn’t a witch, so her grandma’s talismans required a live power source to work properly. Currently, she was invincible due to magic.Evangeline flexed her incompetency and elongated her claws, charging at us.“If you wish to die first, I will honor your last wish, Vincent.I love you despite your betrayal.”The air became cold for a second, sending shivers down my spine as Vincent pushed me away and launched at Evangeline’s brown lycan
Lizette’s P.O.V.“Evangeline!”This name was indeed my biggest nightmare, she had tried to destroy my home countless times with her dirty tricks, teaming up with Lady Isabella against me. Seeing my baby’s killer refreshed the painful memories of the past when I was begging in the prison for her mercy. Not only did she push me through the stairs, she hit my belly, intending to kill me that day. I couldn’t help but shudder at the reminder of my doomsday. Vincent sensed my pain through our bond as he flashed by my side, securing me in his embrace. My heart was thundering in my chest as I buried my face in his chest. He spoke up for me,“We have already talked about it, Evangeline. You won’t touch my Erasthai!”Vincent’s Alpha tone was responded to by mockery, Evangeline chuckled dryly,“Oh, really?Who said that I will keep my word, Vincent?”The venom dripped from her words as I heard her approaching footsteps, she challenged him. “You have tried to strike a deal with a dev
Lizette’s P.O.V.“Little Swan!”The sensation of deep yearning struck me senseless as the lost love registered its presence. Vincent’s baritone skipped my heart beat like whenever he called me Little Swan. My heart was brimming with so much love that I didn’t need any assurance, this name was a reminder how he fell in love with me at first sight.Listening to this deep affection of his voice again, I couldn’t help but respond to my mate’s call with a loving hug. The tears trickled down my eyes as I sniffled. “Thanks goddess, you are with me, Vincent. I was hell scared …”His erratic heartbeat was the most beautiful symphony I had ever heard as he sighed, hugging me back.“I was scared too, Little Swan!Thanks for coming back.”Yes!I was back, ready to stay by his side 24/7 in every thick and thin, his strange injury hammered my head with the realization of a grave danger. Whoever attacked him was a sly man, carefully combining silver with magic. If the enemy could success
Lizette’s P.O.V.“His Majesty wanted to live with you in our Villa, but I didn’t allow him!”During my stay at the Silver Claw Pack, I didn’t go to Vincent’s mansion, thinking that he wouldn’t bother about our living arrangements. But it turned out that he was against this whole setting, pleading to be with me almost every day.My dad growled in frustration as he said,“I thought His Majesty was just manipulating you, trying to force his will on your decision, Lizette.It’s a fact that females can’t think straight due to the magical attraction of the mate-bond ...”My dad’s concern was valid, but it couldn’t overlook the reality of Vincent’s tireless efforts to patch-up with me. He didn’t give up on us even for a second, striving his best daily. I felt awful for ignoring my mate for so long, it would be better if I refused his advances instead of responding to them with my dad’s harshness.Accept it or not, Vincent was our Alpha King, his words were like orders for every subject. Ev
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Our pack will eagerly wait for your return!” Why pack? Why wouldn’t you wait for me, Vincent? Seeking an answer to this query, I found myself wandering in the dark corridors of the Royal Palace. The absence of servants and the security staff made me question the ominous silence, it wasn’t a norm in this lively building. Perhaps, everyone was asleep at night! Thinking about multiple similar reasons, I turned the familiar hallway towards the throne room. It was a good idea to check whether Vincent was working there or not. Sometimes, he stayed in the throne room’s office overnight to finalize national issues. I gently nudged the heavy double door of the throne room, peeking inside. My eyes caught the sight of an unbelievable occurrence. An involuntary shriek escaped my mouth as I stumbled, widening my eyes in terror. The walls, decoration pieces, chairs, floor, everything in the room was drenched in blood, the crimson cover on that majestic hall flipped
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
