AshantiI sat patiently as my aunt applied makeup to my face and transformed me into someone unrecognizable. I now looked like Aunt Aurora and her minions. The black pixie wig was carefully placed on me after my natural hair was tucked in. When I glanced at my reflection in the mirror I laughed. She handed me a long green dress and a transparent veil. “I need you to lie in bed and face the wall. I don't want anyone to see you,” she said while calling for a maid. I swiftly turned to face the wall, positioning myself on the bed to appear like I was asleep. The maid made her entry and I remained still.“How long have you been serving in this house?”Aunt Sasha asked her. The maid didn't answer immediately and I could tell she was suspicious. “Four years now, madam.”“Why do you sound like I'm some stranger? I'm, after all, the King's sister.”The silence that followed Aunt Sasha's words was awkward before my aunt spoke again.“I heard there's a dungeon somewhere in the house. Could y
ChadwickIt rained all morning and it wasn't just an ordinary drizzle but a heavy downpour that seemed to never end, with the occasional crack of thunder as if punctuating the rain's tempo. The roads were clogged with flood and fallen leaves. The clouds disappeared mid-afternoon and it stopped raining. I got out of my tent in search of my hosts. I figured they were rogues considering that day didn't belong to any pack. One was picking his teeth with a stick while the other was gathering water into a drum. I watched them do their thing. The one picking his teeth looked up at me with a crooked smile and motioned me over.“I guess it's time to go to the Lycan pack to save my girl,” I said to them with a plastered smile on my face because there was nothing to smile about. Ashanti was in danger and needed my help. "Are you sure you want to do this?” He sneered, followed by a bark of slaughter It's risky as fuck for a human to venture into those parts especially one who is not even from
AshantiMy father's guards seized Chadwick while giving me a brutal and unfriendly stare. I found this very disturbing and I was now in a state of extreme fear with my body going into full tremors when they dragged him over to my father, who was standing behind him and staring down at him. Tears fell from my eyes and my breathing became labored. Oh, my Chad, the love of my messed-up life!He was shoved aside harshly and fell to the ground. His face met the concrete floor and it was obvious that he was severely injured. His left eye was swollen shut, his nose busted and his upper lip was split open slightly.Fuck my life!Shock gripped me, and my thoughts scattered. I had been focused on using the ring to connect to the eye of the border, to gain full power and control over everyone in the pack, and finally defeat my father. But now, seeing Chadwick there, my precious mate, my priorities shifted. I knew I had to save his life; my father would surely kill him, and I'd rather marry tha
AshantiMy father smirked maliciously, confident in his strength. I needed to act quickly before he killed Chadwick. All I needed was an opportunity to strike.“Hmm... I might just take the ring and kill this pathetic human before giving it back, what do you think my darling?”“My king, he doesn't deserve to live,” one of the guards snickered and stepped closer to Chadwick, brandishing his blade threateningly and grinning evilly at my companion.“You fatherless bastard!” I yelled. “You're such an ass licker yet you don't even know who your father is. Do you think the king loves you so much or gives two fucks about you?”I hated using people's weaknesses against them but I knew my father's head guard's story. His mother was a well-known whore and he was born out of wedlock. His eyes widened and he flinched before pinching his lips tight to keep them from trembling.“Javier, don't tell me this little brat’s words hurt you. Come on, don't be a sissy,” my father laughed. “Hand him over,
AshantiFor over seventy-two hours, Chadwick had been in a coma. Icy fear twisted around my heart and I tried to keep my fragile control. I was worried for my lover Very concerned. The healing center was a mix of traditional and modern medicine with more advanced medical technologies. The monitors attached to Chadwick's heart beat steadily at all hours. A nurse came into the room every few minutes and checked his vital signs. Even as I struggled to stay positive, I could feel the worry eating at me until I felt as if there were no bones left in my body. The feeling of panic clawed at every inch of me, and it intensified at night when the fear would creep up on me in my sleep. Chadwick lay pale and unconscious against the white sheets, a shadow of his usual self. His breathing was shallow and he showed no signs of regaining consciousness. Despite his unconscious state, I was relieved that he was still alive.I hovered by his bedside, feeling empty and drained. My mind burned with
AshantiI sat by Chadwick's bedside in the quiet room, the master bedroom upstairs. He was still very weak and unable to walk, only fed on liquids. "How's your leg?" I asked him, kissing his forehead. "Do you need me to give you a massage?" "No," he broke into an easy smile. "Just give me some of the broth and make it warm. It's the only thing I can stomach for now." "Okay, my love," I whispered, propping up his pillows and heading downstairs to the kitchen. I returned later with the broth, consisting of beef and lots of herbs. It wasn't the most appetizing meal but I knew that Chadwick needed to eat it. It helped him regain strength and replenish his blood energy levels so that he could get strong enough to fight for himself and get out of that horrible prison. I picked some bread and crackers for myself and headed upstairs, urging him to drink. "My mouth tastes like shit," he grimaced, refusing to eat. I begged him to try some, but he refused to open his mouth. I headed to the
AshantiSitting at the dinner table which was elegantly arranged with assorted meats and salads. Ashanti was chewing slowly. Her lips were full, making me drool. I wanted to taste them again, but I held off, knowing she had a guest She was fucking beautiful dressed in black jeans and a red tank top. I took small bites of my steak and watched Archibald who sat opposite me, a pale and slim man who must have been as a result of the hardships he endured during his imprisonment by Ashanti's father.Ashanti delicately removed the ring from her finger and placed it into its case before handing it over to Archibald. "This is your legacy as the king. My work here is done,” she said softly. Archibald stared at the ring without touching it. "Honestly, you deserve to be queen more than I deserve to be king.”Ashanti's mouth gaped open in shock. “You can't be serious,” she asked incredulously and Archibald gave a short laugh."I've got no ambition, no skills or knowledge that will help me lead
AshantiWe arrived at Chadwick's pack, very beautiful but paled in comparison to the splendor of the Lycan pack. Just like any shifter pack, it had a huge fortress and several towers where guards stood watch. Archibald and his convoy joined us, just because I wanted to make a statement to these bastard wolves. Chadwick's relatives wanted him dead and if I wasn't present in his life, he'd be buried six feet under. A few of the warriors came to greet us. None of them could dare to fully approach or confront us. Talk about Lycan power.We drove through the gates, which were open and we entered the courtyard, surrounded by massive walls.Chadwick directed us to his family mansion and sent for his relatives, some of whom I recognized. When they saw King Archibald in their building, they tried to keep their fragile control but I could tell that their confidence was shaken.“What a pleasant surprise,” the oldest of them bowed respectfully to King Archibald. “Welcome to our humble home “A
Vespa's POVEvery detail about my wedding day brought joyful tears to my eyes. The tears were silent but uncontainable. I didn't mind that I was ruining my makeup in the process. On a beautiful summer afternoon, the biggest event of my life was about to take place. I felt like a fairytale princess and Kai made sure every detail I asked for in my dress and the decor was fulfilled. An archway adorned with roses and peonies, a velvet aisle runner that led me to my happily ever after. My fucking mermaid gown and a tiara, and oh, my groom who truly made my heart sing. This day was the start of our forever. Weak-kneed with excitement, I stood outside the majestic Moon Goddess Temple, a white, three-storey building with white marble pillars. My brother, Luke, waited for me with a warm smile, ready to walk me down the aisle.“You’re a gorgeous bride, sister. And it's not just your looks but the energy surrounding you. I’m glad you found happiness.”With a playful wink, his blue eyes twinkl
The taxi drove away from George's family mansion and I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I was finally free from their judgmental eyes and condescending smiles. I felt a bottomless peace and satisfaction wash over me, relieved to be out of George's claws. I'd thought he was different, but it turned out he was just like the rest of them.Fucking manipulative bastard. After paying the taxi driver, I stood outside Grandma Zora's house and let out a swoosh of air. I was hesitant to go inside, wondering if I should tell Grandma Zora and Ziah everything that had gone down with George. But I knew that if I did, Ziah would likely go mental and attack George. He had a temper, and I didn't want to make things worse. I stood there for a few moments, weighing my options. Part of me wanted to spill everything, to let someone know the truth about George's family and their cruel words. But another part of me wanted to keep it inside. I decided to keep quiet and headed inside.My gaze landed o

GeorgeBefore I hit Camilla, my heart was bristling with rage, and I wanted to let it out, but after I did, I felt so stupid. My hands fell to my side, and I felt so heavy with regret.She stood there, her hands on her cheek, horrified like a child who had just witnessed something horrible. She blinked slowly and couldn't believe what had just happened.I trembled and slammed my fist on the couch. She took a step back, thinking I was going to hit her.“What the fuck?” Her voice cracked. It was a low tone of disbelief. “You hit me!?”“Camilla, I—”She turned away from me, and I felt a pang of guilt. What the fuck have I done?I had tried to control myself but couldn't. I was consumed by a jealous rage, and I blamed her for it. She went to fuck Ziah. I could bet on that with my last cent.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. But the damage was already done. Camilla was quiet, her back still turned to me.She was leaving when I rushed to hold her back and wrapped my arms aro

CamillaI tried and failed to restrain my smile when I overheard Lisa fuming at Paul.She was saying that I didn't deserve to release a single so early in my career and that no one ever got such luck.Lisa was a jealous sadist, and at the same time, she wasn't wrong. I was too lucky to have found Paul, who cherished my musical talent and gave me a chance.I covered my face with my bag and warmth spread through my body, satisfied that Lisa couldn't stop Paul from helping me. I didn't understand why she was so bitter and consumed by jealousy.It was ironic that she felt envious of my success when she had her own unique voice and sang better than me. I counted my good fortune and intended to milk my success for as long as possible, and Lisa would need to get ready for more.Oops. She shot me a 'you'll pay for this' look. My heartbeat quickened as she turned on her heel and walked away.“Whoa, that was some glare,” I said to Paul, who was smiling and opening his bottle of water."What ex
CamillaHours turned into a day, and I was super uncomfortable and uneasy in George's house. Fortunately, he didn't ask for a blowjob or sex, and I was glad he wasn't entirely stupid. He worked from home and sat behind his desk all day, and his mom had gone to a convention, which suited me fine. After spending the day by myself, George came downstairs in the evening when I was watching TV. I became uncomfortable and sat up, eyeing him warily.“Baby, let's go shopping. I want to spoil you with the finer things in life. He walked over, put his arm around my shoulders, and hugged me tight. His lips were on mine, and before I could get out an objection, his fingers were stroking my hair.He kept kissing my neck, and I fought the urge to gag. He stopped and looked at me expectantly.“You should be resting. Don't worry about me,” I said, looking down at my hands fidgeting on my lap. “And I think I should go home now. I'm not comfortable staying here anymore."“I insist,” he said and leane
"She's with her boyfriend, the doctor."Vespa's tongue went limp, and when I gave her a summarized version of all that has been going on with Camilla and George, her eyes doubled in size."He sounds very manipulative. I don't think Camilla should be with him if she doesn't want to. The fact that she rejected his proposal is enough warning.""Grandma said if she leaves him, he'll kill himself. Camilla must be feeling guilty and feels that it's her obligation to take care of him.""That can never be me," Vespa said under her breath, and I nudged her playfully.When Kai called for a meeting, I knew he was about to enact some stupid rule that would only favor himself. I stared at him blandly and watched as Grandma Zora sat in her favorite chair."This had better be quick. I have a show to attend," Zeke said. "Fine," Kai said, rising. "As you all know, Vespa's coronation is near. She has decided to reject two people, and we know who they are." His voice was commanding and final and he gl
ZiahThe silence in the house was deafening, it felt like a heavy emptiness that echoed through every room. My heart felt just as hollow, like something was missing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. It was like I was searching for something, but I didn't know what I was looking for, or maybe I just didn't want to admit it to myself.I was stuck in a funk, waiting for Vespa's return after five long days away with Kai. But instead of excitement, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Camilla.Camilla…Even the mere mention of her name turned me on. I couldn't shake her off, no matter how hard I tried. I let out a frustrated sigh and gazed out the window, watching the trees sway in the breeze. It was like my heart had a mind of its own, stubbornly fixated on someone who wasn't even meant to be mine. I wondered if Camilla had cast some sort of spell on me - how else could I explain this crazy, all-consuming attraction? It defied all logic, especially since I already had
