Lizette’s P.O.V. “Answers!” This was the only thing on my mind when I stormed out of my room, all set to confront my mate. Until now, I had ignored his strange behavior with multiple excuses of workload and tension, but that was it! I couldn’t endure his silent terrorism anymore; he was definitely concealing something. And I was a fool to think that it was work-related, a matter I wasn’t allowed to poke on my nose. But my dad’s letter clarified the fog from my vision, showing me the reality. It was clear that Vincent had some issues with me, and what a coincidence, I wasn’t in the mood to back off today. As my King was a workaholic, I almost ran towards his office, clutching the letter in my hand. He wouldn’t be able to deny after this written proof. However, as I passed through the dining hall, I heard Lady Isabella’s syrupy-sweet voice. “Vincent, you aren’t taking care of yourself!” The motherly love dripping from her soft tone cemented my feet to the ground. I couldn’t
Lizette’s P.O.V.What?Lizette?The promise of calling me Little Swan for the rest of our lives stabbed me in my chest as I whimpered, wounded by Vincent’s piercing tone. He called me Lizette with such anger like I didn’t matter to him anymore, the woman clung to him was everything for him. We had an agreement that he would only call me Lizette when he no longer loved me, this push was enough to kick me out of the room.I had put up with everything until now as we loved each other, what we had built together was something I was proud of. But Vincent insulted me in front of my rival, hitting my aching nerve precisely.I didn’t know how, I borrowed the guts from the devil and spoke sternly before walking outside.“Sorry to disturb you, Your Majesty. Have a great night!”Although I wished to run straight back to my room and cry my heart out, two anxious figures outside Vincent’s chamber halted me in my tracks. Beta Arlo and Jane gasped to see me, they spoke at once.“Why are
Lizette’s P.O.V. “How dare you?” Lady Isabella lost her mind as her high-pitched scream tended to shatter my ear drums, she was shaking in fury. “How can you ask something like this from your King? Where are your manners?” Well, that King was my mate as well, but I wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. I kept looking at Vincent and repeated my query. “So, Your Majesty! Would you like to swear on your mom’s life?” Vincent’s face took a haunted look as he appeared flabbergasted, taken aback by my sudden demand. All I asked after his long speech was an assurance, unfazed by his multiple apologies. No doubt, Evangeline was the villain of my life, I had to accept that she would never let me live in peace. So, the only thing I could rely on was my mate’s loyalty. And if he was ready to make amends, swearing on Lady Isabella’s life was the dealbreaker. She was the only woman he loved wholeheartedly. For a heart stopping moment, even Lady Isabella forgot her screaming as Vi
Lizette’s P.O.V.Clutching my chest, I stared at Vincent in a catatonic stupor as if waiting for further explanation. After seeing this report, anyone could say that Vincent was suspecting my character. But he came up with an entirely different reason, knocking every logic out of my mind. He was indeed a unique King, blessed with out of the world intellect to come up with such a type of conclusion.Soon, I ran out of patience and decided to voice that horrifying query.“Are you accusing me of being a spy in your pack, Your Majesty?”Vincent’s amber orbs changed color for a brief moment, but the iciness of his eyes sank my heart. His silence in response put a stamp on my deepest dreads. At that moment, I totally forgot the conduct of a mated female, obedience, and respect for your mate, and yelled at Vincent at once.“I have spent six months with you, and all you know about me is that I am a threat to your pack’s security?How can you even think like that, Your Majesty?”My brea
Lizette’s P.O.V.What?I didn’t inform Lady Isabella before leaving?It was a lie!Vincent had a long list of justifications for his mom’s actions, making them look like her sincere efforts for my betterment. It was the moment when I realized that there was no use of arguing with that King.Blinded by his mother’s love, he was speaking the language of the Royals. It was hard for me to believe that he was the same man I fell in love with. My mate was a loving man, ready to challenge the wrong, old traditions to advance with the challenges of the modern world. But after returning to the Palace, he forgot his promises, calculating his every move without any emotions.I was finally be able to see the trie face of the lycan King I was mated to!Wiping my face with my sleeves, I waited for him to be done and concluded that discussion.“I know you will not believe my words, you can ask Jane that I had informed Lady Isabella before going to the temple of God Daragor. I went there
Lizette’s P.O.V.Pregnant?Jane’s query caught me off guard, sending shock waves throughout my body. I hadn’t thought about it before. Because of my illness and differences with Vincent, it didn’t cross my mind that my muffin top could be a sign of pregnancy, not a result of staying in bed for a long time. A mixture of shock and happiness swirled something deep in my heart, I held Jane’s hand and spoke.“I don’t know, Jane. Can you please buy a pregnancy stick for the medical store? I don’t wish to inform anyone.”As it was just a wild guess, I didn’t intend to alert Vincent and Lady Isabella. This false alarm could embarrass me more if I weren’t pregnant. Meanwhile, my intelligent buddy came up with a brilliant plan and leaned closer, whispering in my ear.“What about if we go to the general hospital for a test? My friend is a nurse there, she will ensure our privacy.The results of the pregnancy stick vary in different cases.”Oh, yes!I thanked Jane for her timely hel
Vincent’s P.O.V.“The poison isn’t detectable in the shifters, but we are certain that they were attacked in the same manner as the Lycans in your pack’s forest. Please check our doctors’ report!”Alpha Damon was briefing about increased poison attacks on the Werewolves, this was the sixth attack in one week.In addition to the Werewolf packs, foxes, rabbits, and even snakes were complaining of a dangerous outbreak, where their pack mates were turning wild, unable to recognize anyone.It was like their minds were controlled by only one thing: Blood lust. The situation escalated pretty quickly after Little Swan’s attack, I was getting reports from the packs daily. So, I came to visit the neighboring pack to supervise the investigation process as my Erasthai’s first heat ended officially.She could stay unharmed in my absence now, so I left my pack. It was the right time to show my subjects that I was with them in this calamity. However, my mind drifted towards Little Swan c
Vincent’s P.O.V.“Vincent!”My mom instantly covered her ears, jolted by my Royal command. Her face turned pale in shock.“How can you talk to your mother like this, Vincent?And for that mere outsider?How long do you know her to trust over your mother?”Although her tear-stricken voice trembled my heart, I couldn’t pay any attention to it. My Little Swan’s misery had overpowered my brain, she must be scared alone. I completely ignored my mom’s tears, and walked past her to see my Erasthai.But she held my wrist, “I am sorry for looking out for you, Vincent. But you must see the evidence before freeing your Erasthai!”I didn’t want to see any proof; however, the servants gathering in the corridor forced me to reconsider my decision. It was necessary to defend my Little Swan’s honor in public. So, when she would be out, she shouldn’t have to face the questioning gazes of the people. My mom was wrong to accuse her, and I was more than pleased to prove it in front of everyone.
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
