Vincent’s P.O.V.
“You’re so handsome, Prince Charming!” My little mate giggled, circling her arms around my neck. The attractive green color of her eyes was a hint of her wolf’s elation. “Your jawline is sharp; did you get surgery?” We hadn’t even exchanged names, and that wolf was asking me weird questions. Securing her in my embrace, I stepped into our room for tonight’s mating ritual. It was nearly impossible to see anything else except her alluring countenance, which was shining like a full moon in the sky. After closing the door shut, I corrected her softly. “I’m a King, Erasthai! Not a Prince Charming.” My statement confused her, my curious gaze followed her fingers as she traced my cheeks. “But you are too young to be a King. Are you trying to impress me with lies?” She fluttered her eyelashes innocently and whispered in my ear. “If yes, then there’s no need for it. I like you.” Resting her head on my shoulder, she inhaled my scent deeply. And for the very first time in my life, I was hypnotized by a woman’s coquettish behavior. “You’re handsome.” “I love you!” and all that. I had heard these cheesy lines so many times that I lost count of it. However, my gorgeous mate’s praise put my heart at ease, as if I was relieved after hearing the good reviews for my new project. My entire existence shook as my Erasthai cupped my face and asked, “My name is Onyx. What should I call you, my mate?” Her inhumane voice was laced with respect, it seemed that my Erasthai’s wolf had recognized my King’s status. Despite Ares’s protest, I put her on the bed and replied, “My name is Vincent. You can address me as Your Majesty.” Onyx immediately bowed, her voice trembled as she said, “My Apologies, Your Majesty. I’m honored to be paired with you.” The intoxicating scent of Lilac overwhelmed my senses, turning me into a typical, emotionally excited mate. But I took a deep breath to control my primal desires. Thankfully, my brain activated my self-defense mode to shield me from this mesmerizing beauty, whose irresistible charm was driving me crazy. First thing first, I asked Onyx about her human. “What’s your human’s name, Onyx? How old is she? And what’s her bloodline, and status in the Silver Claw Pack?” Perhaps my Royal command scared my Erasthai, she swiftly knelt on the floor. “Lizette Bancroft, only daughter of Gamma Harvey Bancroft. I turned eighteen this week, Your Majesty.” What? A teenager? Under the strong haze of mate-bond, I didn’t notice it. But the exact age of my Erasthai made me retreat now. I was taken aback by this revelation! On the other hand, Ares was unfazed by this sudden tornado of reality. He was drunk by her delicious scent. “Lizette! Even her name is mouthwatering like her. Let’s mark our Erasthai, Vincent. I want to feel her warmth.” Disregarding our age difference, my feral side filled my head with the intense scenes of our love making, igniting the fire of passion deep inside me. I was already hard as a rock from the moment I spotted her at the party. And now my erection became extremely painful, throbbing for my soulmate’s touch. Torn between guilt and desire, I made an extreme effort to suppress my dark side. But Lizette captured my attention with her pitiful voice. “I’m a weak wolf, who can’t shift, Your Majesty. Is that why you’re reluctant to accept me?” Then Lizette paused, gasping in horror. “Are you planning to reject me?” Her small figure quivered like a dry leaf in the wind as she moved from her spot to grasp my leg. “Please don’t reject me, my mate. I swear, I’ll try my best to serve you well. You will not regret your choice.” She was going on and on about her qualities to prove her point. Whereas I was frozen to my spot, unable to speak the truth. “How can I tell her that my mind is filled with the ideas of fucking her right now?” Her anguished sobs echoing in the room interrupted my wet dreams. So, I pulled her up, grabbing her shoulders. “Don’t mention this rejection ever, Lizette. It’s my first order for you.” She instantly nodded and bit her lower lip, breaking out goosebumps over my skin. Even the sparkling tears in her eyes were inviting me to taste them, kissing every square inch of her face. Involuntarily, I leaned in and gritted my teeth. “You’re mine, King Vincent Lawrence’s Erasthai, Lizette Bancroft. Stop crying and start behaving like one.” I didn’t know which part of my command was ambiguous that Lizette simply tiptoed and licked the exposed part of my chest. Her flirtatious laughter was the most dangerous seduction. “You’re sweating!! Is everything alright down there?” Her tone, her touch, and her intoxicating smell knocked out all sense from my head. I pushed away all the reasoning, and behaved like a typical mate, crushing my lips over her. The soft, velvety, out of the world’s sweetness welcomed me, tugging the strings of my heart. The bond between us sizzled, burning us like a bare wire as I madly sucked, nibbled, and bit her lips hungrily. Lizette purred and clung to my chest as if her life was dependent on me, moaning softly. I had kissed numerous girls but trust me, this was the best ever sensation, filling my mouth with her unique sweetness. Every shred of my existence howled, drenched in desire, “I want her now!” Breaking the kiss abruptly, I threw her to the bed. She gasped as I followed her there as well, Unbuttoning my coat, I informed her beforeheand, “I am going to mark you right now, Erasthai!” I threw away my coat as she didn't move, looking at me innocently. Placing my knee between her legs, I hovered over her, trying to see my reflection in her eyes. She squirmed like a swan under me, so I pinned her hands above her head, unable to contain myself any longer. “Keep looking at me until I fill you with my c*ck, little swan. You aren’t allowed to close your eyes, even for a second.”Lizette’s P.O.V. “Mine!” A man’s stern voice was echoing in my ears when I woke up with a severe headache. The sun was bright outside, a sun ray peered through the glass window, illuminating the walls with a burst of rainbow delight. Wait a second! A spacious room with a window? The softness of the mattress beneath me instantly alarmed me, I was totally taken aback by the surroundings. “Oh, my Goddess. Where am I?” I got up in haste, my foot stuck in a comfortable blanket. This was another shock as my dorm room didn’t have such types of facilities in it. Currently, I have been sharing a ten-by-ten room with two girls. Our hard bunker beds, and thin blankets were difficult to afford. Then how could I get this update overnight? Rubbing my eyes, I looked around to inspect the location, a realization hit me hard. “Off-white decor, lilac paintings, and Hello Kitty bed? Oh, my gosh! I’m in my dad’s villa!” My eyes bulged out of their sockets as I glanced at the room where I h
Lizette’s P.O.V. The suffocating silence prevailed in the surroundings as King Vincent kept glaring at me, like he was giving me a chance to change my query as swiftly as possible. Alas! He was simply mistaken! I stared back at him bravely, not giving a damn about his Royal authority. This sudden order of moving had run me out of patience, ending the era of a spineless Lizette. My love for Brandon, his rejection, and my compromise with eternal loneliness had hardened my injured heart. I was fed up with all the ill-treatment, unwilling to let anyone dictate my future. This King’s command was just the last straw! The unending staring competition between me and King Vincent was going to be a tie as neither of us were ready to back off. So, my mom jumped in as a referee. “What are you saying, Liz? King Vincent had already waited until morning to go back. You should ...” My mom was praising the exemplary conduct of my mate, but my dad didn’t consider it enough. He scolded me in
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 “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
Vincent’s P.O.V. “Good morning, mom!” My spy came with the video recording of the last six hours, it started with my Little Swan’s respectful greetings. They were standing in front of my office, so I guessed that Little Swan went there to inform me. “You are so smart to ask for my permission when I was in a formal meeting. I should applaud for your slyness, omega! Only you can come up with such innovative methods to go out and meet your lover.” “My lover?” Little Swan gasped, “What do you mean by it, mom? I went to see a doctor.” My Little Swan’s response wasn’t considered by my mom, as she continued with her previous statement. “Don’t you ever take me as a clueless idiot, omega! You can fool my innocent son, not me. I have seen through your lies.” With that, mom opened a light-brown envelope and threw the pictures on Little Swan’s face, spewing out hatred. “Look at your intimate pictures, and then advocate for your purity, promiscuous woman. You dared to have p
