Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 69: Spill The Tea
PHOENIX“No, I don’t like him.” I look toward the door where the playfully mocking voice is coming from. Kiara struts in, a ‘look’ on her face as she keeps repeating what I definitely pray is not an imitation of me. “It is not a date.”She rolls her eyes then plops down on the bed, halfway on me and half on the mattress. If I didn’t know how crazy my friend was, I would have been bothered, but she seems to not care that she just jumped on the royal prince’s bed with her shoes on. I smack her leg a little and she moans in pain.“Hey! What was that for?” she cries out, rotating so she can shoot me a dirty look.“You were being annoying,” I reply with a shrug and she groans.“And here I thought you would talk about how much you missed me and how I was right about the prince, but hey. Who is complaining?” she places her fingers below her chin with a mock thoughtful expression on her face. I snicker and point toward her.“You’re so annoying,” she moans before sitting up. I’m still smiling

PHOENIXKiara and I spend the rest of the day together in Prince Ezra’s room. He didn’t come back, and multiple times I tried to not think of him too much. Not that it worked but A for effort.Kiara of course doesn’t believe anything that I say—at this point, I know I’m lying to myself and everything she has said is not only the truth but she was pretty much pointing out the obvious.“I don’t see anything wrong with it,” she had argued when I said even if we liked each other and all, it was wrong.“It is cheating,” those words make the hairs all over my body raise. I hate it with so much passion and I hate that I can’t stay away from Prince Ezra.Just thinking of him being away makes me feel like ants are crawling up my skin or someone is spearing me with a silver dagger. How did you get here, Phoenix?In the end, we accepted that we couldn’t reach a conclusion on that matter and we decided to change the topic. Not that Kiara wanted to leave it entirely, she wanted to know everything

EZRAI pull my mate closer, needing to feel her in every crux of my body. She is so responsive and she follows me, kisses me as hard as I’m kissing her and I so badly want to throw caution to the wind and claim her now, marK her, complete the mating ceremony and see what my father and the parliament will say about that.I stopped because she deserved better than that, better than me using our mate bond as revenge for what my father wants to do.Phoenix is as breathless as I am when I move back, breaking the kiss. Her hands fall from my neck but before she withdraws them, I snatch them in mine and bring it up to my lips. I kiss her knuckles then bring it down, still holding us together.“Hi,” her voice is breathy and it makes me smile because it feels great to know I did that.“Hi,” my voice is equally breathless and rough. Her cheeks are tainted pink and I’m reminded how very beautiful she is.I know I’m doing the right thing. She deserves our first time together to be perfect, candle

PHOENIXI woke up feeling more well rested than I have in a few days. Prince Ezra wasn’t beside me and though I was disappointed just a little, I understood he had a job and he couldn’t just stay in bed with me all day. I don’t realize I’m not alone until a few minutes later. Kiara is sleeping on the couch, I laugh a little when I see her but I don’t bother waking her up. It felt unfair for me to do that.I go to Prince Ezra’s bathroom. The oddity in the entire chamber if I’m being honest. It doesn’t look like him or the rest of the room. I have started to get used to it since the first night we took a shower together here, that was three days ago. Now our night showers have become a tradition. Even if it has just happened a number of times.I quickly brush my teeth and step out when I find myself drifting off into thoughts of what happened last night. A blush coats my cheeks when I look down at his clothes that pretty much swallow me up.He makes me feel smallish.“Well, good morning

EZRA“The kingdom should always come first!” one of the men really testing my patience repeats for the umpteenth time. That is all he has been saying since this meeting started a few hours ago and I am already sick of all the dumb thoughts he has and his damned pot belly that moves with every word he screams out.“No one is putting it more at risk than the likes of you.” One of the men on the other side fires back.I massage my temple and look up toward where my father is seated at the top of the podium. He gives me a look but I turn away from him.He is telling me that one word from me can end this fruitless argument that has been going on for two days now and I know when we come back tomorrow, it is still going to be the same thing. I am not going to easily concede and do what he wants.I have never seen grown men act like children, it is why I guess I hated meetings with the parliament. They were all petty and hateful individuals who care about nothing but themselves and their self
Last Updated : 2023-05-15Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 74: Hurt Less
PHOENIX I’m not as excited as I usually am when I know Ezra will be back in a few minutes. I’m more anxious and nervous than excited. I know everything that Kiara said is true but there is still a delusional part of me that wants him to deny all of it and say it is just what it is, a rumor. He is an hour late which of course doesn’t help with how I am feeling and when I finally feel my heart jump—that happens when he is near—I hope he would stay out a bit longer so I can wallow in this dream that is so perfect but I have always known would not end in a happily ever after. The thought is both sad and depressing and I need a break from all of this. I wish I could find a place to escape to where there won’t be. Real life or a fantasy. I’ll take nothingness and bleakness over this anxious energy that threatens to suffocate me. I take in a deep breath the same time the door opens, Prince Ezra’s eyes find me the moment he steps into the room and when I exhale, it comes out as a small sig
Last Updated : 2023-05-16Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate 75: Picnic
EZRA I was able to convince Phoenix I’ll fix everything and then she wouldn’t have to leave, she wouldn’t sacrifice herself, sacrifice me and us for the country. I know this sounds terrible coming from me seeing as I’m going to lead these people someday, but it is for the good of them that I’ll do this. Phoenix has a good heart and she may not see it but she meant to be a queen. Everything about her is that of a queen, I’ll make sure she sees that. How easily she wanted to put the country and people before herself made me see just how good of a queen she would be. She is not just a robotic human who grew up listening to the same set of rules, do this and don’t do that. No, she has a mind of her own and I know she has great ideas that will birth a better werewolf community. Something I’ve been dreaming of since I understood what being the future lycan king meant. It is too much pressure to put on someone who didn’t know about this until just a few months ago. The rational voice in m

PHOENIX“Everything okay?” I ask Prince Ezra, leaning into his touch. His arms come to wrap around me and I rest my head on his shoulder.Sitting with him like this feels like the most natural thing and I don’t want him to move. How did I ever think I could leave him?I’ve only known him a few weeks but just the thought of not being with him like this scares the shit out of me. Is that normal or have I really lost my mind?Aren’t people in love mad? I shake that thought off, denying to myself that I am in love with him. I know I like him, I like like even, but love? I’m not so sure about that.Or maybe you’re too scared to admit that to yourself?“Everything is fine,” I gave him a look. I know he is not telling the truth and the way he averts his gaze confirms that.“No, it is not,” I sigh and move away, putting a little distance between us so I am able to look at his face while we speak.“Phoenix,” I shake my head, cutting him off.“No, Ezra. You can’t bottle up and keep things from

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
