"Which deal?"Sophia asked with creased eyebrows.It was silent for a brief moment in the flower garden, Ace pressed his lips into a thin line and a heavy sigh escaped his lips."What about we fight for our mates?"Her eyes widened when the words escaped the Prince's lips. She couldn't believe what she had just heard."How is that even possible?"A deep frown settled on her features as she asked the question.Ace couldn't blame her because he knew all her hopes crashed into tiny pieces the day she was caught escaping Greenwood kingdom and her partner got locked in the dungeon."We need to pretend that we have agreed to get married."Ace paused and ran his finger through his jet hair.The idea didn't make any sense to Ace because he hated anyone who pretended. However, the table turned because he was the one who was pretending now."Pretending to be engaged will buy us time to prepare everything without rushing."Ace waved his hand in the air as he tried to explain everything to her.Sophia
Ace arrived in town S at twilight. A sigh of exhaustion escaped his lips since he had drived for eight hours straight without taking a break. However, Ace didn't regret anything because he knew it was worth it."Finally! It has been one hell of a drive!"His lips curved into a smile,he shuttered his tired eyes and leaned his head backwards on the car chair.After taking a break for a couple of minutes to breathe fresh air. Ace clutched the steering wheel and the car led in that one direction.The sky had darkened and the town was illuminated by street lights. He cursed whenever the lights turned red since he couldn't wait to get to where he was going.After thirty minutes of driving through the busy streets of town S,his car came to a halt in front of a massive iron gate."Who are you?"The guards asked with a harsh voice.The voice that he was not used to. The Lycan prince is used to people talking to him politely,with coward faces.However, he knew that not everyone would treat him wi
Standing on the balcony with a faraway look,Ace closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh. It was not easy for the Lycan prince to explain everything to Monalisa.Compared to Ales's aunt, Lisa was so stubborn to understand the simple explanation that he gave. Ace knew she was doing it on purpose, to punish him for whatever he had done.Since he had promised himself not to give up that easily. Ace explained the same thing over and over again so that it could get into her thick skull.For the first time in his entire life, he was patient with whatever he was doing. Normally, Ace couldn't let himself repeat whatever he had said more than twice, Alexander and his men knew it better.Talking about Alexander, he laughed at the Lycan prince each time he called him and grumbled in frustration.Alexander explained to Ace that he needed to be patient if he wanted to get back together with his mate.Ace can't have it his way like so many times that he has had almost everything his way because he's
A deep frown settled on Ales's face when the orange sun rays shone on her pale yet beautiful face.Her long dark eyelashes fluttered softly and her eyes slid open.Alessandra yawned lazily as she looked out of the window. Alessandra fell into a deep slumber the previous night after talking to her grandma.The herbal tea was helpful because it made her muscles relaxed.Inhaling deeply, Alessandra climbed down from the bed and walked to the bathroom to freshen up.She walked out of the bathroom minutes later and slid into comfortable clothes that she had bought with the help of her grandma since she didn't carry any clothes with her."Good morning dear?"Grandma greeted as soon as Alessandra walked inside the dining room. "Good morning grandma."Ales walked towards her and planted a gentle kiss on the top of her dark hair since she was slightly taller than the old lady.Alessandra inherited some of her grandma's features from the old lady. She inherited the dark hair and the brown eyes fr
Birds sang melodiously as they welcomed the new day. The orange sun rays shone on plants as the sun rose from the east. The air was fresh and the day was very promising.Outside the old mansion at the door, stood a man. His pitch-black hair was a mess and there were dark circles under hid eyes caused by lack of enough sleep for weeks.He sucked in the cold breeze and exhaled heavily to calm his nerves. He had been standing at the door for almost ten minutes now because his hand was heavy like lead.He didn't have the strength to raise it and knock on the door."Damn it!"Ace closed his eyes in frustration and cursed under his breath for the tenth time. He couldn't believe that it was too hard for him to knock on the wooden door as he had thought.Raking his already messy hair in frustration,he held his breath and knocked on the wooden door and waited patiently for a response from inside.The door clicked open and an old lady materialised from behind the door.Grandma looked at the Lyc
The old lady shook her head, letting Ace know that there was nothing she could do about it."There's something you can do grandma."Ace insisted. He didn't want to give up that easily,there was no way he was leaving without talking to his mate."I know you can talk to her.I know Alessandra will listen to you."The Lycan prince said as he waved his hands in the air as he explained His father taught him not to give up no matter how hard things might seem to be sometimes. Ace borrowed his father's wisdom even though he felt guilty for betraying him."She's not in the right position to talk to you."Grandma shook her head gently in denial. Ace's shoulders dropped when he heard her words.The light that he saw at the end of the tunnel extinguished, he raked his hair in frustration and a heavy sigh escaped his lips."You need to give her some time, pushing her too hard won't help."Grandma explained to him politely.She wanted him to understand that it would not be that easy for Alessandra to f
The Lycan prince hid behind the white pillar almost immediately when he saw his mate turn around to stare at the balcony.He was glad that Alessandra was able to sense his presence. It meant that the mark bond was so strong.The corner of his lips curved into a smile when the idea crossed his mind."Let's go to our mate."Liam groaned as he tried his best to break free so that he could run to Alessandra as fast as possible."Calm down boy."Ace said and a sigh escaped his lips. He hated the fact that he hid from his mate just to make sure that she didn't see him.What annoyed him the most was the man who was around Alessandra. From his little knowledge of observing people's behaviour.Ace could tell that they were really good friends and he didn't like the idea of anyone being any close to her.He heaved a frustrated sigh and walked away from the balcony. He descended the grand staircase with a faraway look.A deep frown settled on the old lady's face when she saw the man's dark face. S
"I...I didn't judge him."The prince stuttered for the first time in his entire life.He's used to ordering people around without anyone making him stammer. However, this time he did because the old lady asked him the most difficult question that anyone has ever asked him."I'm just trying to be cautious grandma."He paused and a small smile found its way to his lips. It was silent inside the big room. Grandma stared at the young man with a raised eyebrow as he tried to defend himself."That's what your father did, he didn't give Alessandra a chance to show him that she was worthy to be his son's destined mate."There was bitterness in her voice as she explained to the young man so that he would understand better.The memories clouded in his head. The memories that he didn't want to remember.The king didn't give Alessandra even a single minute to great him.All he didn't was say hurtful words to him.Ace could feel the pain that he had tried to ignore so many times. He bit the inside o
Alessandra blinked her eyelashes softly when the sun rays shone on her face without mercy. She groaned in annoyance and tossed on the bed carelessly but carefully.She looked at her sides and the bed was empty and cold, meaning that her husband woke up so early in the morning to take care of his duties in the office.A sigh escaped her lips and she woke up and walked to the bathroom and took a hot relaxing bath.When she was done wearing clothes and everything, she walked out of her room and decided to check on her mother so that they could go into the dining room together to have breakfast.She bumped into her mother in the hallway and it seemed like she had just come from somewhere else, her hair was tied into a loose ponytail and she looked beautiful just like always.Mrs. Sarah smelled of him, however, Alessandra chose to keep quiet."Good morning."She greeted her daughter and her lips curved into a sweet smile. Alessandra was about to respond when she realised the claimed mark on
One week passed, Mrs. Sarah and her lover were getting more comfortable with each passing day and she found out so many things about him.Alessandra was so happy about her mother's progress.Ace spent most of the time with his wife and left most of the work for Alexander to take care of.He wanted to be close to his wife so that she could know that he was going to be with her through every new step that she takes in her life.Ales tried to tell him that she would be fine, that he didn't need to watch over her, however, it seemed like he didn't believe it.She was sitting on the balcony as she watched the sunset and a sigh escaped her lips. It has been a few days since the last time she talked to Hannah.To be more exact, it has been almost two weeks since the last time she talked to her. She wanted to know how her friend was doing and what was keeping her that busy.She stood up from the comfortable couch slowly and decided to stretch a little before she could even take more than three
Alessandra woke up early in the morning to check on her mother because she didn't find her in her room the previous night.She was certain that she had come back because she talked to Alexander and told her how the journey to Red blood pack was and everything."Anyone inside the room?"Alessandra called out when she found the room quiet once again. She walked to the bathroom to check if her mother could be taking a birth but still there was no one.She closed her eyes and a deep sigh escaped her lips. Alessandra walked to the door with a heavy heart because she wanted to see her mother.When she was about to lay her hand on the metallic doorknob, the door clicked open and her mother walked inside.Alessandra looked at her mother with slightly raised eyebrows, she didn't need a prophetess to know where she had come from."Good morning."Sarah greeted her daughter as the corner of her lips curved into a gentle smile and Alessandra nodded in response, smiling at her mother too."I'm sorry
He sat in the flower garden just like other days, he looked nervous and restless. Heaving a deep sigh of frustration, he ran his fingers through his grey hair and pushed it backwards.James chose not to call his lover because he knew she was busy and disturbing her was the last thing he would do. He was tempted to call her countless times but...each time the thought popped into his head, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath."She'll come back to me, that's what she told me before she left. She promised."Those were the only words that were putting him sane till now.He was holding onto those few words so tightly because they had a lot of hope, a lot of life in them.Even though he pretended to be strong and tough, deep inside he wasn't as strong as he looked on the outside.He's just a common person, he has fears just like any other people do. However, he chose to be strong for both of them.One person between the two of them had to be strong so that they couldn't let the fears of
Mrs Sarah woke up early in the morning the following morning, Alessandra went to check on her mother and found that she was about to leave the Kingdom.The mother looked at her daughter and a smile graced her lips."Why are you up? It's so early in the morning."Sarah asked her daughter in concern because she didn't like the idea of Alessandra waking that early in the morning, she's pregnant and she needs alot of rest."I just want to make sure that you're doing fine."A gentle smile graced her lips and her mother nodded in understanding.She was flirted by her answer, Alessandra is such a caring daughter and she's so grateful for her."You don't need to protect me from anything because I'm doing perfectly fine."Mrs Sarah smiled at her daughter just to assure her that she was fine."Okay, say hello to Leo and his mate. He informed me that his wife gave birth to twin girls."Alessandra said and her mother nodded in understanding.When they were done with everything, Alessandra walked her
Mrs Sarah gave her daughter's hand a small squeeze and a sigh escaped her lips. She nodded her head in agreement as though agreeing to her daughter's words."It has been twenty years."She paused and heaved a sigh, "I think it's about time to let go and work on myself. I want to experience that feeling of being in love once again."She said and a broad smile graced her lips."I agree with you Mother. I know you'll never forget all the memories you shared with Father. They're going to be with you forever because of the love and affection, you gave birth to me."The daughter heaved a sigh, "I know Father would want you to be happy because you've suffered enough.You have been through hell and you survived. You took good care of me despite everything."She showered her mother with praises and more tears flowed from Sarah's eyes. She was so happy to know that her daughter was supporting her in whatever step she was taking."All thanks to you. You're the reason why I decided to give love a c
Mrs Sarah was reading a historical novel when her cell phone vibrated. Her lips curved into a smile when she saw the caller ID.She picked up the phone and answered it. It had become a new normal for James to check on her every single night.Mrs Sarah walked to her usual spot on the balcony and looked under the oak tree, and there he was, standing under the old tree."Can you come into the garden just for a minute?"James asked as he looked up at the balcony.His lips curved into a smile,she looked so beautiful when the silver glow from the moon shone on her face."What do you have in store for me?"Mrs Sarah asked and the corner of her lips curved into a smile."It's a secret."James chuckled and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. He couldn't recall when was the last time his heart pounded this wildly, it has been years.Mrs Sarah went silent, contemplating whether she should go to meet him in the garden or not."Okay, I'm on my way."She said and smiled at James."I'll be waiting for
The day passed by pretty quickly and it was now time for King Adam and Patricia to leave Alvannia kingdom. The old man was happy that he had talked to his daughter even though she didn't agree to follow them right away."I promise to come home when the pain has faded away, "Sophia told her twin and father and they nodded in understanding because they didn't want more misunderstanding."You're welcome with your mate."The old man said and the corner of his lips curved into a smile. He wanted to show his daughter that he didn't have any grudge or anything against her mate.Sophia smiled at her father and hugged him so tightly. She was so happy that her father somewhat realised where he went wrong and that he was willing to make things right.It was not common for any king to accept a rogue in his kingdom because that meant putting the lives of people in danger."Thank you for visiting and giving me a chance."Sophia smiled at her father and tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks.She
All the memories that clouded her mind were painful. Sophia has missed her father and twin so much, no day passed by without her thinking of her family.However, it felt like the pain in her heart was stronger than the longing and everything."Sophia."Patricia stood up from the wooden chair and ran to her twin, wrapping her hands around Sophia so tightly as though they had not seen each other for years.King Adam bowed his head in shame, he didn't want to see the pain and sadness in her daughter's eyes because he knew crystal clear that he was the cause of the pain.Sobs tore from Sophia's lips and she hugged her twin so tightly. It felt so nice to see her family again, especially her twin because they were close to each other from childhood."How have you been?"Patricia asked her twin after pulling off the bone-crushing hug."I have been fine."A smile graced Sofia's lips and she wiped tears from her eyes using the back of her hand."We missed you so much, Sophia. I would like us to g
