Lizette’s P.O.V. “What are you doing here?” My eyes widened in disbelief as I got up, trying to process the unbelievable sight before me. Alpha Brandon, the one who was in the hospital due to yesterday’s fight, was now standing in the cafeteria, looking fresh and energetic. There wasn’t a single bandage or mark on his face like I noticed last night like Onyx said that his wolf was weakened because of rejection. Then the hell did he recover so soon? Unable to keep my mouth shut, I asked him. “When did you discharge from the hospital, Brandon?” He dragged a chair and sat across the table; his voice was as fresh as a Daisy. “Oh, come on, Liz. You know that I don’t need to stay in hospital for long. The doctors allowed me to leave after a good night’s rest.” Flexing his Alpha wolf’s power, he placed a cute box of brownies on the table. “Aunt Ursula said that my wolf just needed some peace for recovery. Anyway, I am here to apologize, Liz. You came to visit me like a good frie
Lizette’s P.O.V. The panic seized the proper functioning of my brain as I emptied my bag on the floor and searched for my uniform. The towels instead of my clothes quaked the ground below me. “How is it possible? Goddess, what will I do now?” Although I clearly remembered putting my uniform in my bag after changing into gym outfit, its absence knocked me out of senses. I was now ready to wear dirty clothes again to go back to the locker room. “Rose, give me my outfit back please.” Parting the door a bit, I stretched my hand to receive my clothes; however, only a gust of cold air caressed my hand. With my heart drumming in my ears, I waited for Rose to come and hand me my outfit, but the painful wait of centuries churned my stomach. Forced by my anxiousness, I opened the door to get the clothes by myself, but the empty corridor appeared before my sight. Rose was nowhere to be found. Unable to believe my rotten luck, I cried out in disbelief. “Where did she go?” As Rose cam
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Castrate these boys and register them as convicted sex offenders, Beta Arlo. This report should be sent to every corner of the Kingdom.” Vincent’s decision swelled my heart with pride, I was on cloud nine to see him respecting my opinion publicly. For the first time, I really felt good when everyone addressed me as Your Highness. “Thank you so much for your mercy, Your Highness.” The chorus of gratitude made me look at my mate, whose lycan was the sign of an absolute power among the shifters. It was such a great feeling that the person renowned for his reign of terror was now my protector, willing to go at any length for my honor. I hid behind the curtains again as my over exposure could trigger my mate’s possessiveness. Silently sitting in the tub, I waited for everyone to leave, the sound of the door being closed again relaxed me. Calming my racing heart, I decided to get Vincent’s help and requested hesitantly. “Your Majesty, can you please lend me your
Lizette’s P.O.V. “This is where I will mark you, Lizette!” Vincent’s possessive tone was still ringing in my ears, filling my head with the dreams of our mating ritual like a common girl. It was the haze of the bond, or I had gone crazy as I forgot countless promises of staying away from Vincent until graduation, jumping on him like a hormonal female. His seductive voice, his smile, and sinfully inviting body wreaked havoc on my senses, I was outclassed by the true fervor of our mate-bond. If it wasn’t Vincent’s commendable self-restraint, I would have begged him to take me during our hot make-out session, but he managed to pull away. “I haven’t regretted any of my choices, Lizette. But now, my promise of not marking you before your graduation is killing me!” This incident, our mutual desire, and Ares’s confession, all these occurrences kept me awake the whole night long. I was mindlessly staring at the blank screen of my laptop while thinking about my current situation. Vi
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
