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. “Sorry, Your Highness. His Majesty is unable to attend the dinner.” What the hell! I took a day off, talked to my parents despite my grievance, and spent an entire day in the kitchen to prepare a feast for him. And that King, he couldn’t keep his word! Although my mom and dad gave me a hundred reasons that he was a King and I should be a considerate mate to understand his difficulties, my heart wasn’t ready to accept them. Firstly, I got rid of that stupid evening gown that I specially wore for him, cursing myself inwardly. There was no use of dressing like an idiot when no one was coming for dinner. It was so difficult to face my parents after this, so I went to the forest to cry my heart out. “Why is it so difficult for us to have a nice conversation in peace?” After rejection, my emotions were all over the place, I didn’t get much time to move on. Brandon was the biggest problem of my life; it wasn’t easy for me to forget him in a day. Then Vincent unexpec
Lizette’s P.O.V. King Vincent’s eyes clouded as he stared at me for a while. Then he took a deep breath, snaking his arm around my waist. “Even my name sounds better when you say it.” My heart sprinted with one thousand beats per second as he scooped me closer, burning my body with an unfamiliar fire. I couldn’t help but flinch as he leaned closer, his dashing face was inches apart from mine as he asked, “May I?” Vincent’s deep, husky whisper shot a tingling sensation down my spine, I was spellbound by charm. As in a daze, I nodded in response, with no idea of his query whatsoever. I just wanted him close to me, a part of me was screaming to sign an agreement for always staying together. Ever so slowly, he titled his head, and his warm lips landed over mine, breaking out goosebumps over my skin. My heart trembled, swaying with the waves of shuddering pleasure of my mate’s touch. Vincent’s lips were soft, drastically different from his tough appearance. Closing my eyes, I lo
Lizette’s P.O.V. My hand flew to my mouth to stifle an involuntary gasp as a feeling of dread crept up from the pit of my stomach, rendering me breathless. After being brutally rejected by Brandon, I thought that the topic of my ex-mate was concluded for good. When I didn’t complain to the Alpha office about his reckless decision, why did he share this information with his new Luna? Was he out of his fucking mind? My startled reaction satisfied Madelyn; she mocked me heartlessly. “So, you’re behaving like an innocent girl. That’s why King Vincent is moving Heaven and Earth to cherish you. Don’t worry, he’ll be aware of your trickery soon. Just wait and watch!” The scene of our intimate first kiss flashed across my mind as my heart sank, just imagining Vincent’s reaction to this news turned my world upside down. I had just started a proper relationship with my mate, I couldn’t lose him for my dark past. For a fact, lycans were way more territorial than Werewolves, and not to men
Lizette’s P.O.V. Although I wanted to stay and enjoy the full spectrum of shock on Brandon’s face, the time of my class ruined my moment. I had to rush towards the classroom. I always used to think that Alpha was a reasonable person, or at least with some dignity, to separate ex and current relationships. Unfortunately, I was truly mistaken. My warning was supposed to be enough, as everyone in the academy continued to bow and greet me like their Queen. However, Brandon broke all the records of shamelessness. Our last class was free, so I was texting Liana, who was dragged back to her home. She was grounded by her dad due to the last bullying incident. Her brother, Casper, had sent Stella to her home, he wasn’t ready to forgive her easily. In short, my BFF’s home was a mess, solely because of me. I was so engrossed in arguing with Liana that the sudden loud bang of books on the table made me jump, racing my heart. That ill-mannered person was none other than Brandon, who was dem
