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
Lizette’s P.O.V. Fear became a tangible living force that crept over me like some hungry beast, immobilizing my body. A wave of sheer terror washed over me, raising fine hair on the back of my neck to see a strange beast. A massive human-like, white furry figure was sitting while lowering his head, he was gasping hard for breath. It was taller than me even in that posture. “A lycan?” As that creature lifted his head, I recognized him as the strongest shifter in the supernatural world. His sharp jaw and magnificent snout left me in awe. When I saw a lycan’s picture for the first time in my textbook, I was horrified for days. It haunted my dreams for a long time. With razor sharp teeth, lethal claws, and the ability to walk on two feet made them special, lycans were undoubtedly magnificent yet deadly creatures. However, despite my fear and the fame of lycan’s terror, I wasn’t scared to see a lycan in real life today. In fact, his presence was strangely pleasant, piquing my curiosi
Lizette’s P.O.V. The goosebumps broke over my skin as his husky whisper sent a tingling sensation down my spine. My heart threatened to break out of my rib cage, beating wildly. The warmth of Vincent’s manly body turned my brain into a mushy paste. I was driven crazy by his seductive sweet scent. Onyx urged me to look up and when I did it, Vincent’s handsome face was only inches away from mine. OMG! The hint of fondness in his icy amber eyes dried my throat, I could only utter a single sentence with great difficulty. “We must wait for good things!” An alluring smile toyed on Vincent’s lips as he sat backwards, his relaxed look with the sunset was adding to the beauty of the forest. He clasped his hands behind his head and sighed, “Yeah, I’m anxiously waiting.” This heavy load of emotions made me feel restless, flushing my face. Vincent was my mate and handsome, and his Lycan was constantly calling Onyx for mating. The power of our bond was drawing me like a moth to flame, c
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
