Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 45: Have Lunch With Me
PHOENIX“I’m sorry,” I stare at prince ezra, wondering what that was for. He runs a hand through his dark hair and huffs out a breath. “About the other day, I didn’t mean to scare you like that.” he looks like he is struggling, with what? I can’t tell. “I…I don’t usually lose control, it is…I,” he shakes his head, probably deciding to change his mind about what he wanted to stay at first. “It is complicated. Just know that I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.”“Oh, you don’t have to apologize.” I don’t think the lycan Prince is supposed to apologize to his private maid. Though I don’t think he should stand with her too and make conversation but we’ve been doing that. I guess we should draw the line somewhere, this is what it is about.“No, I need to,” he shakes his head. My heart does something I don’t understand but I feel the need to make him feel better, I don’t like the expression on his face, he looks so much better when he is smiling, not when he looks trapped like this.“I made yo

PHOENIXI need to write a rule book for myself, it will consist of all the things I SHOULDN’T say to the lycan prince, or do around him. If I want to keep my job and keep my sanity then I need to abide by that book with everything that I have in me.“Phoenix,” Prince Ezra calls and I have to blink to get my eyes to focus on him. “I’m kidding,” he chuckles, but it sounds tight and I know he doesn’t really mean it.“Oh,” I laugh, it sounds dry but I need to make it sound at least believable.“Yes, now come and eat with me, please.” Rule number one, do not eat with the prince. That is not what workers do. He reads the intention on my face and frowns. “You can’t say no,”“I have to,” I reply, my voice sounds too much like I actually want to. Maybe because you actually want to. Shut up!“Give me a valid reason,” I nod, multiple reasons coming to my head immediately.“Well, you’re the prince and future king.” He nods and rolls his eyes.“That is fair, any other one?” I rack through my brain

EZRAThe past few days have been heaven and the only thing that can make it better is Phoenix’s wolf recognizing me as her mate. I’m not expecting it to happen so soon but I’m still a little disappointed when it doesn’t happen. It is complicated, I know. With how my days have been going, I actually do not want to rush everything.The process of canceling the fated Banquet is underway and I’ve been more actively involved in the politics aspect of the kingdom than I usually am. That was mostly my father’s job, and quite honestly, I would say, I don’t really like it. I don’t hate it either. I love working toward making sure

EZRAHe is alone in his office, which is a good thing. I know siren has gone back to her pack and though he hasn’t said anything about it, I was hoping it meant he has given up on his failed matchmaking spree. There is no way I can marry the girl, forget that I have found my mate, I wouldn’t have married her either way. She is just not what I’m looking for.Not because she isn't attractive, even with her unfortunate taste and lack of color sensitivity, it is hard to miss.“Father,” I greet as I walk toward him. As is our little tradition, I walk up

PHOENIXEveryone is working, I don’t even know the right words to use to describe the scene in the palace right now but I guess chaotic will do quite well. I never thought I would be so glad to be walking up and down the stairs carrying a lot of things for decorations. The ball room has been transformed into something magical and I can’t even deny it, it looks great as hell.“It needs a little more white,” someone said from beside me. I grumble under my breath and move to the other side of the pillar to rest my back. Just because I’m glad being kept busy has kept my thoughts away doesn’t mean I’m particularly happy to be working.I’m staring at nothing in particular when a hand grabs my arm, I look up sharply, a little scared and meet the bright colored eyes. I move back, blinking a few times while I try to pin a name to the face staring back at me.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” The girl who couldn’t be older than me said. I nod and gently pull my arm back then rub it, she grab

PHOENIXI don’t know why, but I burst into loud laughter. Kiara just stares at me with an unimpressed expression. When I catch myself, I place my hand on her shoulder and let out a heavy sigh.“Where did you get that preposterous idea from?” I ask when I can form words. Still, I giggle a little.“Oh come on,” she shakes her head. “I’m being serious here, Phoenix.” I raise my hands up and nod.“I know, and so am I.” I pause and breathe in. “I don’t know where you heard that from but I feel nothing for the prince. Respect definitely, I’m grateful he saved me and gave me this job. That is just it.” I ignore the voice in my head trying to say things I’m sure I don’t want to hear.Kiara is quiet for a few seconds as she studies me. I try to not do anything that will be perceived as strange and then have her thinking this is just a lie. I mean, it isn't. I don’t like the prince and he doesn’t like me. I still haven’t told anyone about him thinking I’m his mate thing, that is more for me th
Last Updated : 2023-04-17Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 51: Apologies
EZRA“Prince Ezra,” my name sounds like heaven and hell coming from her mouth. Like the sweetest sin, a promise of something I so badly want but can’t have.I don’t have the time to remind her to just call me by my name. I’ve never hated being referred to by my title like I do when she calls me with it.“What are you doing here?” she whispers, looking to her side with her wide eyes.“I needed to see you,” I admit lamely. Her eyes widen more if that is possible and that seems to bring her back to reality because she pushes me off. I’m not holding her tight so I easily step away from her space.“No.” she says curtly then shakes her head.The single spoken word strikes me like a dagger straight to the heart, I ignore the pain and straighten up. She pushes off the wall and adjusts her top that I shouldn’t have noticed have ridden up, exposing just the slightest skin. Small enough to not be noticed if I wasn’t looking and definitely too small for it to have me getting bothered, but I am. M
Last Updated : 2023-04-19Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 52: Unacceptable Thoughts
PHOENIXThe expression on Prince Ezra’s face makes my heart hurt, for a reason I can’t explain for that matter.He hasn’t said anything, since his broken and unfinished sentence. Five minutes have definitely passed but I can’t bring myself to remind him, he looks seconds away from crumbling and the reaction I’m having to that makes me almost feel out of breath.“Prince Ezra,” I call softly, I take a single step forward but move back and bring my hands down, not sure what to do with them. I don’t think touching him will be a good idea. He looks like he is fighting something inside of him.“Ezra. At least call me by that if you’re about to break my heart.” His voice sounds so raw, his hurt so open that I almost feel like I can’t say what I wanted to. I’m not even sure what it is but now I don’t think I can say it.“I’m sorry,” I repeated his words. Something clogs my throat and I feel tears pricking my eyes, for reasons I don’t know. Maybe seeing him look like that is what is making me

Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 160: New Era
PHOENIX It felt like I had been sleeping for years on end, and when I finally woke up, my entire body felt fatigued. Too heavy for me to lift even a finger. Ezra was beside me, he was wide awake and he was just watching me. I was aware of his presence, even in my unconscious state and that just made me realize how extremely lucky I am to have him in my life. “Hi,” he whispers, moving closer and pulling my body to his. I sigh when I feel his warmth surround me. He felt like peace, like home. “Hey,” my voice was weak from lack of use so I cleared my throat and tried again. it wasn’t any better not that he seemed to mind. “I feel like I have been sleeping for years.” I mutter, stretch and yawn as my bones make satisfactory pops all around. I felt slightly better after that stretch. “Three days,” Ezra says, his voice gentle and calm. I knew something was wrong from the way he sounded. Pushing back the heaviness I was feeling and the voice in my head telling me this was going to b
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 159: Goodbye
EZRA We have Alejandro and Hank in custody now, with audio and video proof of them admitting to all the things they had done.Yesterday had taken multiple unexpected turns but it turned out perfectly well if you asked me. I just had one thing to cross off my list before I can finally be at peace.I’m careful as I get out of bed. Phoenix is sleeping beside me. She has been out since last night when we came back with Nate and the cars they brought with them. I refused any medical checkup and instead stayed by my mate's side until she was cleared.The doctor, who thankfully knew what was happening, had stepped in for their actual doctor. They couldn’t deal with her face to face beforehand since they didn’t want their identity to be known, which made it easier for that to happen. A little overhaul and show of power by Nate had the actual doctor spilling, which allowed them to bring our doctor in.I was only able to alert Nate of what was happening but the second they drugged me, our conn
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 158: Anecdotes
PHOENIX Alejandro is your typical bad guy, who would sit for hours and tell you how he came up with his perfect plans, the steps he followed, the moves you made that made it easy for him to win.I think I fell asleep five times during his anecdote, and each time I woke up, I prayed he would be done but my prayers weren't answered. We were all exhausted. In fact, he was the only one that didn’t seem tired of hearing himself.I started to feel sorry for him, because he clearly had issues. I couldn’t pinpoint where it stemmed from but he was more than due for therapy. And thanks to his torture, we all might too.“Enough.” Alpha Hank growls, getting off the wall he’d been resting on during his brother’s long history lesson.I have to admit, that is the one twist to the story I didn’t see coming. And though it doesn’t seem that significant, something tells me we need to be careful. I still have those dreams I’m not sure I translated well.At least, I feel better knowing Ezra is going to b
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 157: Brothers
PHOENIX“Are you okay?” the doctor asks, looking over her shoulder in fear.“Do I look okay to you?” I mutter drily. I know I sound like a bitch but I couldn’t care less what she thought of me right now.She heaves a sigh and comes to stand in front me, she rethinks and immediately steps back, putting a little space between us. I only rolled my eyes because if I wanted to get to her, I would have since when Alpha Hank and Sibel’s dad were here. I’m not scared of them, even in the slightest bit.I’m biding my time because if I let whatever I’m feeling crackling under my skin take over, then I would rather it be worth it. I have a feeling there will be no going back from there.“You’re right, that is not the right question.” She huffs out a breath.I watched her, trying to look past the anger I’m feeling at her betrayal, to try and give her the benefit of the doubt but it doesn’t work. Maya just wants to tear her apart and it is taking everything I have in me to stop her from acting on
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 156: Bad Guy Movie Moment
EZRAJax is losing his mind not knowing where Phoenix is or how she is managing.I’m calm for some reason, because I know she is alright. I don’t know how I know it, but I just di=o.‘Calm down, she is fine.’ I reply in a calming way, hoping it would help him relax but he just growls at me too. I sigh and throw my head back then almost immediately regret it when the wood dug into the back of my neck.They could have at least gotten comfortable chairs if they wanted to kidnap me. The chair is the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in.‘How can you be calm at a time like this?!’‘I trust Phoenix, if she was in danger she would have reached out to me by now.’ He just grunts. Not believing what I’m saying, or more accurately it wasn’t enough to make him calm down.‘And how can you be of help? Last I checked, you’re tied up.’‘I have you,’ I say with a small laugh. ‘I’m kidding.’ I immediately add before he does something dumb like try and hit me. Which is impossible but annoyance is a gre
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 155: Betrayal
PHOENIX I was tied up. It was the first thing I noticed when I woke up.I panicked immediately and tried to fight against the restraints but it was pointless. I didn’t even think to check to see if the person that has me tied up is still here. I just knew I needed to get out of here, I didn’t know how but I’ll be damned if I stay here for any moment longer.Ezra! The realization makes me stop struggling. I look around the room frantically, trying to see if I can see him but I’m alone.Everywhere is dark, if not for my wolf vision, I wouldn’t have been able to even make out anything.I’m on a wooden chair that is not comfortable in the least and my hands are tied behind me, so tightly that I fear that if I move the wrong way, I will pull them right out of their sockets.I couldn’t believe Jake’s dad was doing this. I didn’t even understand what he meant by the power I had was his. I never wanted it, but now that he so obviously wants it so he could hurt more people. He would have to k
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 154: Past Meets Present
PHOENIXI thought I was hearing things when I heard my old alpha’s voice. Jake’s dad. But when I turned, almost completely confident that I would find a different person, I saw him and my blood immediately went cold.Ezra’s hands tighten around me like he could feel the same negative energy I feel rolling off the man in waves.For the entire time I dated Jake, I wouldn’t say we were particularly close with his dad. I stayed away from him as much as I could because he just had this scary aura I didn’t like. Now, I’m seeing it as a different thing, especially as he bares his teeth in what I assume was supposed to be a smile.“What are you doing here?” I ask, my voice shaking slightly.He looks down at me, literally, and his lips turn down in distaste. He never really liked me but he never openly hated me. He just made it clear that he didn’t care what his son did with me. He looked like he wanted to slit my throat right now.“Shu—”“I would be careful how I finished that sentence if I w
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 153: Territories
EZRA Multiple times, I almost stopped Phoenix so I could kiss her and many more things. I managed to get my wolf to shut the hell up. This is extremely important for her—for both of us and our life. Our future.“Do you know where you’re going?” I ask her, circling my arm around her waist and pulling her to my side. She stretches and covers her mouth with her hand, yawning loudly.“I think I do,” she rests her head on my shoulder. I kiss the top of her head and hum in response.“I should have let you sleep more,” I murmured, steering her away from a tree root she hadn’t noticed.“I’m fine.” I only hum in response.She is stubborn but I loved her determination. I don’t know how she is doing it but i commend her hard work and efforts.Dealing with uncertainty and not knowing what to do or what is going to happen sucks. I’m unable to focus on anything, my mind is constantly running, thinking of things that could go wrong or another threat toward her.We have gone far from the main buildi
Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 152: Uncover Secrets
PHOENIX “Are you okay?” Ezra asks, his voice shaky as he holds both my shoulders. He wraps his arms around me, looks over my body, he is touching every part of me like he doesn’t even know where to check or where to stop.I’m not looking at him, instead I’m staring at his back, right at the large imposing building I have never seen before. We are not at the palace, this place looked unfamiliar but I feel like I have been here before. I feel the same feeling of déjà vu and I shake my head.“Phoenix?” I look back at Ezra, his amber eyes are filled with worry and he is panicking. I can read it in his body language.“I’m fine.” I’m surprised by how steady my voice sounds. “What happened?”I move out of his hold, a pained look crosses over his eyes but he doesn’t reach out for me, instead he stood to his feet when I did the same. Still standing at a safe distance, he reaches for my hand which I don’t offer.The way he looked like a scorned child made me feel bad but I don’t let that emoti
