Please keep supporting, lovelies 💞💞
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Strip!” That lady’s order resonated in the hall as I stared at her wide-eyed, startled by the absurdity of her demand. Why should I remove my clothes for measurements? Couldn’t they measure my size with them? I turned to see Jane for my support, but she shuddered. “It’s compulsory, Your Highness! Every woman needs to do it.” Although it was embarrassing to strip in front of a stranger, I decided to do it for my mate. “Okay! Where should I go for measurements?” My simple response filled the air with laughter, everyone was amused by my query. That lady’s one glare shushed all the girls as she flexed her authority over them and commanded. “Strip here! Alicia and Zara will stake your measurements.” “No!” An involuntary gasp escaped my mouth as my insides froze, I was horrified by the bold eyes of the girls in front of me. Stripping before a crowd was something I hadn’t imagined in my wildest nightmares; I refused at once. “No! I will not strip in front of
Lizette’s P.O.V. Paralyzed to my spot, I could only scream for help, hoping that my pleas could alert Vincent in the woods. As an Alpha lycan, he had the sharpest hearing ability, a slight whisper would be unable to skip his ears. However, my one scream and my helper aka Jane materialized out of thin air, she stood before me to counter those lycans’ vicious attacks. She quickly shifted and fought against them, that fearless girl was indeed a warrior. It was a good chance to run for my life, so I spun on my heels to sprint outside the forest. But that evil woman, who must be some sort of witch, came forward and blocked my way with her stick. “It’s rare to see a gifted nature servant like you. You are a threat to our world. I will kill you!” My heart pounded against my chest, threatening to break out of my rib cage as my eyes darted from one corner to another, frantically looking for Vincent as Onyx was calling him nonstop. I witnessed Jane drenched in blood, engaged in a blood
Lizette’s P.O.V.Sister?Evangeline’s mocking tone along with her smile set my body on fire, I wanted to tear off that victorious smile from her face. Vincent had kicked her out of his life, but still, she was sitting at the dining table like a family member. It seemed that she had a close relationship with my mother-in-law as she placed her hand on Evangeline’s.“You are always modest and well-mannered, dear. I know you are the best choice for Vincent.”Goddess, what was that?She ignored my greetings as if I weren’t present in the room and kept praising her dear Evangeline. It was so difficult for me to push away the tears welling up in my eyes. My mother-in-law made it evident that I wasn’t welcomed in the Palace, deliberately talking to my mate’s ex-fiancé. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I stood there frozen, gawking at that breakfast table where I was treated like the other maids standing for service. A maid placed my present on the table and spoke loudly to interrupt their c
Lizette’s P.O.V.“Who’s calling me?”My dumbfounded gaze frantically looked for that person in the empty passage, who had whispered my name a few seconds ago. I was certain that it was a whisper not mind-link as Onyx said,“It’s not our mate’s call, Liz. His link is still blocked.”Widening my eyes, I searched for some time before giving up, as it was impossible that anyone would be worrying about me. My only supporter in the big Palace was Vincent, and he was buried under the weight of official work.Taking it as a sign of weakness due to hunger, I sighed and stretched my hand to close the window, trying to sleep was the last thing I could do. However, my hand collided with something cold in the darkness, sending shivers down my spine. An involuntary shriek escaped my mouth as a pair of red eyes illuminated like pools of fire.“Gotcha!”A booming laughter following my scream prickled goosebumps over my skin, it took me a second to recognize that cold voice. Onyx squinted her n
Lizette’s P.O.V. You might have guessed my special method, so just for reference: It was touching myself without my mate. I was on the edge, climaxing alone could help me release the heat. But the problem was Vincent’s association with it. If I get off, he would have a stubborn hard on, pushing his lycan to mate instantly. There was no restraint in this world which could ignore the call of mating like that. As Dylan had confirmed that the war ended on a good note. Lycans won and signed a peace treaty with the Werewolves. So, my mate would be dealing with meetings and the legal stuff. After weighing the pros and cons of my decision for two hours, I went for a shower and took off my clothes. “I am sorry, Vincent. But I can’t hold back anymore.” Closing my eyes, I stood under running water, and slid my hand down my belly, not bothering about any play time. I was desperate, starving for relief, so I directly got down to business by pushing two fingers in my needy hole. My walls cl
Lizette’s P.O.V. “Your mom is bullying me again with Evangeline, Your Majesty. Please help!” I explained the situation in short, his growls vibrated through every cell of my body as he replied to me, “Don’t move a bit and wait for me. I am coming!” I could feel his worry because through our bond, it made me feel protected. It was a miracle of our bond that we could feel each other's emotions. For a considerate mate like him, I was ready to do anything, but staying silent in front of an abuser wasn’t on that list. As the saying goes, “A person who bears the torment silently is worse than the tormentor himself!” Due to my prolonged silence, Lady Isabella sensed something fishy. She stepped forward and slapped my shoulder. “Didn’t you hear what Evangeline said? Start working! It’s already evening and nothing is prepared for the party.” Hah! Like, I requested her to invite her friends tonight. As Vincent could be busy in meetings, I pretended to wash vegetables and pots
Vincent’s P.O.V. “It’s all Vincent’s fault!” Ares turned out to be the biggest villain of my life despite being my partner. He chose to blame me as an outsider instead of supporting me. His betrayal left me with no choice but to subside the flames with promises. Otherwise, I could come up with a convincing justification to satisfy my precious Erasthai. She was already getting hurt because of the heat of our mate-bond, and now, the tension in the Palace had doubled her misery. I couldn’t think beyond this fact that she was unhappy in her home. She was right! If I was unable to ensure her safety, then there was no use of claiming to be a born King! Utterly embarrassed, I looked for a black hole to engulf me, freeing me of the weight of guilt and remorse. However, Ares didn’t hesitate to sprinkle salt over my injuries and remarked. “You have made this mess. Now, clear it up like an adult, Vincent. You aren’t a teenager like our little Swan.” Fuck! During my stay in the Sil
Lizette’s P.O.V. When Dylan asked me about my plans, I realized my mistake of ignoring my mate. Because of the chaos in my life, I wasn’t in my right mind, wasting my energy on matters which weren’t of prime importance at all. The Royal Palace, Lady Isabella, and my fitness routine for the Royal ladies had no significance in front of my outstanding mate. He was the sun of my world. My love, happiness, future, everything was connected to Vincent, so how could I pay attention to others instead of enjoying my free time with him? He came back after fighting a bloody war, and then tension in the Palace worried him. It was my duty as a mate to cheer him up. So, wearing a white knee-length frock, I went to see Vincent, whose lips stretched in a wide smile to see me. “Come on in, Little Swan.” He immediately left his work by closing his laptop, stretching his hand for me. I swiftly stepped forward and grabbed his hand. “I hope I haven’t disturbed you, Your Majesty.” Vincent shook his
Lizette’s P.O.V.“How could I miss that?”Racing my feeble legs, I tried my best to follow that superfast vampire, drunk by the exhilaration of finding his mate.After knowing Dylan for three months, I was well aware of his impatient nature, he could be a little insensitive while stating harsh facts. Now, his mate was my sick buddy, I couldn’t trust him with her at all. Yes! My BFF Liana was his mate according to my wild guess!She was the only unmated or ex-mated female I met today, her delicate condition flipped my heart in my chest. She was recovering from the devastation of losing her mate after the completion of the mating ritual. It was impossible to predict how she was going to react to this news of a second chance mate.Mate and a vampire?It was a perfect recipe for disaster!As I reached the residential area of my pack, the real-life scenes of my horrifying imaginations welcomed me. I found Dylan surrounded by a massive crowd of enraged pack mates. Men and women
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
