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
Lizette’s P.O.V.The sunrise after the fateful night felt brighter than usual, illuminating my world with the light of pure love and acceptance. Although Vincent suggested that I should take a day off, I felt refreshed in the morning. Three hours of sleep at night had replenished my energy level, so I was looking forward to starting my day. My mate was reading a newspaper at the breakfast table when I came downstairs, he swiftly put it down and greeted me.“Good morning, Little Swan.Did you sleep well?”I noticed the shock on the maids’ faces to hear their King’s gentle tone. It was really contradicting to Vincent’s bossy Alpha look that he addressed me with a nickname.Thanking my Goddess in my heart, I responded to him with a smile.“Good morning, Your Majesty. I slept well despite being in a new place.”Vincent parted his lips to say something, but Beta Arlo’s naughty voice halted him in his tracks. “Usually, one sleeps peacefully after great exhaustion.”The maids e
Lizette’s P.O.V “How can you talk to Liz like this?” Flabbergasted by Evangeline’s blabbering, I was in the process of digesting that absurdity when I heard Alpha’s Brandon’s stern voice, ruining my mood altogether. He emerged from the busy crowd in the cafeteria and snarled at her. “Liz is my friend, a part of the Silver Claw Pack before being a mate to King Vincent. You can’t insult her in her own pack, Miss...” “Evangeline!” Unfazed by his growling, she stretched her hand for a handshake. “It seems that you have a lot of admirers, Sister. With no wolf or education, at least, you are equipped with the weapon of seduction.” Balling my fingers into fist, I wanted to punch Evangeline in her face, but the silver hue in her eye refrained me from doing so. She was a powerful lycan, and must be trained with all sorts of fighting techniques. It would be a suicide attempt for me to attack her. Looking around, I desperately searched for Harry and Lucas, maybe they could shut Evangeli
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 “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
