Lizette’s P.O.V. The idea of instant marking thrilled my wolf, Onyx advocated for this case like a brilliant public prosecutor. “If mate can agree with your stupid demand, he will surely consider this request as well, Liz. I know he wishes to mark us as soon as possible, and this is our chance to express our desire to wear his mark.” It wasn’t a rocket science that like every girl in the supernatural society, I had also dreamt to be happily mated and make a warm home for my family. The main issue was my own foolishness of imagining my future with my childhood crush, Brandon, he was my Prince charming from the start. His rejection was the reason to change my male lead to Vincent. And swear to Goddess, if I knew that my King would be the one to fulfill my fantasies, I would never have wasted my time on him. Due to my years of obsession, I was finding it hard to adjust with Vincent in my new life, the fear of being rejected again had kept me on my toes. I was happy that Vincent wa
Lizette’s P.O.V.All thanks to my inability to shut my mouth at a critical moment, I couldn’t stay silent and blurted out,“What? Are you stalking me?”My query prevailed in suffocating silence in the car as I noticed a sudden change in Vincent’s stern expressions. Was he looking...... embarrassed?As an experienced master, he concealed his inner turmoil by immediately putting up a cold face and said,“Don’t change the topic, Lizette. Answer my damn question. Why did you take that young bartender’s number?”The car shook with Vincent’s ferocious growls, trembling my heart, I felt bad to hear a tinge of distrust in his tone. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I looked away, utterly disheartened. Arlo must have heard his King’s accusatory tone for me, it crushed my self-respect to be called a disloyal person in the relationship.I wanted to ask him about his exact thoughts before confirming this first impression of his query. However, Vincent flashed by my side, sitting close to me. H
Lizette’s P.O.V. A harem lady? Oh, my Goddess! I stood there like a statue, trying to process what I had just seen, my mouth ajar with shock. The world around me faded in the background as the tornado of reality shook me to the core. Brandon noticed this sudden change in my expressions and followed my gaze. “What happened, Liz? Are you feeling alright?” But I couldn’t think of a proper answer, my condition was also out of my own mind. Ignoring his queries, I took out my cell phone and said, “I need to talk to my mate. Excuse me!” Running towards the woods, I made sure that Brandon wasn’t following me. It would be difficult to conceal private conversation from Alpha’s sharp ears. I dialed Vincent’s number with my heart drumming in my ears, Onyx was howling nonstop. “Mate is angry with us, Liz. Apologize to him!” After last night’s incident, I clearly overestimated my luck and thought that I had enough time to try for forgiveness in the evening. But it seemed that I was
Vincent’s P.O.V. The incident at the local bar forced me to leave the territory of the Silver Claw Pack and meet my spies in person, their false report had jeopardized my relationship. After dropping Lizette, I received Liana’s call, she explained the entire situation to me. “Lizette is regretting her decision of delayed marking, Your Majesty. She was confused because of her goals and desires to be with you 24/7, so I took her out with the demand of celebrating her union with you. She is the first one to be mated in our friends’ group, Your Majesty.” Seething in anger, I drove my car towards the human town adjacent to the pack for the official meeting. Although humans weren’t a part of the supernatural world, I had appointed lycan officials for their security. Rogues, vampires, and criminals tended to attack humans, and take refuge in town, disturbing the balance of nature. My destination was the lycan headquarters, my anger was touching the limits of the sky when I reached th
Vincent’s P.O.V. “Greetings, Your Majesty. I missed you a lot.” The semi-naked beauty lying on my bed was none other than Evangeline, the highest-ranked consort and the strongest candidate for my Queen’s title. Because of her talents and services for the lycan throne, the elders’ Council arranged our engagement, announcing her as my fiancé. I totally forgot about this matter after meeting Lizette. And now, my carelessness was standing in front of me. Disregarding my lack of response, Evangeline rose from her spot, flicking her hair flirtatiously. Her long fingers played with the belt of her red silk night dress as she spoke sweetly. “Do you like what you see, Your Majesty? Please let me serve you after a hectic day at work. You must be feeling tired.” As she got up and removed her gown, her nakedness below it registered a significant change in my room. I noticed that scented candles were lit with the petals of red roses sprinkled on the bed and floor. Moreover, the soft sympho
Lizette’s P.O.V. *TRIGGER WARNING* *Self harm, suicide! * “As long as you are alive, you feel the pain, but what if there’s no relief after pain? What if tomorrow is the worst version of today’s suffering?” After seventy miscalls, I lost every kind of hope, Vincent had switched off his cell phone for his harem lady. A glimpse of that harem lady’s influence on him was enough to open eyes. Evangeline was one of the countless gorgeous girls around Vincent, serving him for years. He was the King, the most powerful person in our supernatural world, how could an omega like me garner his attention? He was a very nice man, giving me the benefits of mate-bond, but for how long? One day, he would be fed up with an omega, visually ok, dumb teenager, resuming his life with his drop-dead stunning women. Like, why would he compromise for free giveaways when he could afford top brands? Until now, I acted all carefree and a generous girl, thinking about adjusting to the Lycan’s traditions. T
Lizette’s P.O.V. After kissing me passionately, Vincent threw me over his shoulder, growling loudly. “That was it for your stay in your stupid dorm, Little Swan. From now on, we will live together.” Swaying on his shoulder freely, I was unable to calm my racing heart. Vincent’s resolute tone fluttered countless butterflies in my belly. Without even raising this topic, he took the next step in our relationship, allowing me to be in his personal space. Although I had a lot to discuss with him, this simple gesture was a good start, giving me hope for our future. The way to his mansion was a blur as Vincent ran like a flash, covering the long distance in seconds. If it wasn’t for his hand on my back, I would have flown like a dried lead in the storm. Closing my eyes shut, I saved myself from dizziness and soon, Vincent’s soft voice slithered into my ears. “We are home, Little Swan.” I cautiously opened one eye as my bum touched the softness of a mattress, the luxury of the room
Lizette’s P.O.V.A wave of terror washed over me, raising the fine hair on the back of my neck as I waited for the mystery to unfold before me. Looking at Vincent’s cold face, it was impossible to guess anything, he was like the plain white cover of the book he gave me for the first time.My heart pounded in my ears, blocking out all the sounds, I held my breath while witnessing Beta Arlo’s entry and Vincent’s regal mode to write a decree. Even in 2024, he used a quill for this purpose, taking his sweet time to scare the hell out of me. I was about to lose my mind when his icy tone reverberated in the surroundings,“Sign this decree, Lizette!”His royal command sent shivers down my spine as I shuddered and stood up to walk towards the writing table. Vincent’s indifferent eyes were fixated on me, as if observing my every step towards him. To conceal my fucked-up condition, I lowered my head to focus on the content of the decree.“The King’s order for the ladies of royal harem!”T
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
