Godfrey, without complaint and with an injury in his arm, ran through the forest back to the pack house. He stood a few miles away and laid down so we could get down. I didn’t want to come down, my hands held on to his soft fur, and I could sleep there all night long. His smell makes me want to rub my body all over him till I have the same smell. Then the speed that brought the cool breeze as he ran, I wish I could stay with him forever but of course, Joana was always there to remind me that I don’t have the right to dream and fantasize anymore.“Thank you,” Joana said to him with a slight bow and he gave her a bow as well. I was about to thank him too when he turned around and disappeared out of my sight.“What was that?” I asked no one in particular but Joana burst into laughter. Laughter that caused my lips to twitch. Why did he leave like that? I looked around if I would see him but he was out of sight, Joana was pulling me out of there when my eyes caught sight of the blood on t
“It’s been a long time since we spent time together, Georgina”Thomas sniffed my naked neck, his fingers trailing up and down my skin and I gulped. His lips dropped kisses on my skin as he reached his hand reached for my palm giving me a light squeeze.I stood there still like a statue, if this had happened a month ago, I would have dove on his bed immediately.Although we didn’t marry for love, we have accepted the truth that we were married to each other and sex was necessary, especially when I am a sex-craving woman. Yes, and Thomas had left me wanting for so long but not anymore“That’s true, Thomas,” I replied, slipping out of his hold, “I wonder who made that happen,”I didn’t bother looking at him, I knew there was a deep frown on his face, instead, I proceeded toward the bathroom,“Are you rejecting me, Georgina?” he asked and I turned to see his eyes narrowed at me.‘Well of course idiot. Do you think I’d share same dick with some maids? Think again, loser’ Only that, this wa
I made my way to the part of the forest where Godfrey had disappeared to. I don't know if he was still there but I wanted to try my luck. It was far better walking in the dark forest late at night than sleeping in the same bed with Thomas."Godfrey!" I whispered-yelled but didn't get any reply. "Godfrey* I called out a little louder as I went deeper into the forest. I knew I wasn't supposed to do this but I really wanted to know if he was okay'Or have your ride' Leslie hissed and I rolled my eyes at her. 'I am not some unreasonable sex-craving creature, I know Godfrey is hurt, so I won't let him ride me,' I smirk appeared on my lips as I said, 'I'll ride him instead,' Leslie, my wolf, and I kept talking for a long time before I finally gave up and went back to the pack house. Godfrey must have gone to bed. When I got back to our room, I was so exhausted that I fell on the bed, and within minutes, I was in dreamland.****I stepped out of the pack house only to find Pamela, Thomas
When I thought the ride to the Under pack was bad, the ride back was worse. Nathan was asked to follow us and protect us with his life. Like I can't protect myself. Joana and I were uncomfortable throughout the ride. My dream to fuck Godfrey along the way couldn't come to pass. Nathan is a bone in the throat and I wish Godfrey was as crazy as Joana. We would have all ganged up and killed the bastard. Why do I feel he is so happy that he was coming with us back to the pack? What's interesting about sitting in a carriage with two women who hate you with passion? The journey suddenly became so long, making me wonder if this wasn't the same routine we had passed through while we were going. The journey was silent, no one spoke to the other, not even Joana and I until we finally made it to the pack. Seeing the castle from afar, I was the happiest. If not I didn't want to ruin this gown of mine, I would have quickly transformed and run to the castle without their slow horse's help. Whe
The next morning came as fast as lightning and I couldn't be more excited. I had racked my brain for ways to get Godfrey to finally give in to my seduction. I walked into the bathroom with a towel in my hand as I continued to think of how to go about my plan. It isn't going to be like the other day that my plans got ruined, I won't let that happen today. "Joana!" I called from the bathroom, I sat in the small pool in the bathroom. She came running in,"What is it? I'm preparing your clothes," Joana said but I waved my hand, gesturing her to stop."How about we go on a picnic!" I asked and her eyes glowed. "Wow, Georgi, that's so sweet of you. Thank you so much, I'll ask the maids to get some—""Huh, the picnic is for me and Godfrey," I said to her and she frowned. Her fingers formed a fist while I burst into laughter. I was laughing so hard at her, that I didn't have plans of taking her on a picnic. In fact, until Godfrey finally agrees to be with me, no one is having fun! "So wha
"My queen!" The two maids bowed their heads, shocked written all over their faces. I could see their hands brushing their skirts, arranging them properly. My heart clenched, my throat tightened as I tried to swallow. My fingers clenched the basket of fruits in my hand. Was Godfrey sleeping with the maids?Why haven't I ever thought of it before? He could be receiving love elsewhere and that is why he doesn't want to have anything to do with me. After all, the servant's quarters are different and far from my chambers. "Where…" My words failed me. Clearing my throat and acting like I wasn't affected even though I was, my eyes darkened as I asked again, "Where are you both coming from? And what the hell are you both doing in the male's quarters?" "We… we are sorry, my queen," they bowed their lousy heads that I so wanted to knock. How dare they touch what belongs to me!!!"I asked you a question! I do not want your stupid apology. What the hell are you both doing in the male servant
When we got to the stable, I was smiling like a clown as I watched him go check on the horse. He seems to have noticed that I wasn't telling the truth about the horse being in labor right from time."I think she lost the baby," I pressed my lips together when he didn't stop staring at me. He shook his head before saying,"The horse wasn't pregnant, my queen. It's male," I bit my tongue and chuckled, walking over to where he stood beside the horse, I asked,"You know that very well, why did you come along with me?" His fingers were caressing the horse and I wished for a moment there if I could be that horse. He didn't reply to my question for a while. I watched him keenly before saying again,"Godfrey," "My queen, can we not do this? I am not interested. I don't even like you," "Lies!" I spat out. My eyes shot daggers at him as I reminded him, "It was this same place that you confessed not being able to stop thinking about me. I know you like me, Godfrey. I know it." My hand found
My mouth twitched, and my eyes darkened as I stared at Godfrey. What the hell is wrong with this boy?!? I was about to yell at him when I heard footsteps from behind, I turned around to find Nathan coming out of the woods. "Nathan," "My lady," he had a smile on his face and I frowned. What was he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be sleeping?"What… how…" "I came in search of you when I couldn't find you in the castle. What are you doing here in the woods all by yourself?" All by myself? I turned back only to find the spot where Godfrey had stood a while ago empty. Where did he disappear to?"I… I… I came to get some fresh air." His brows raised as he came forward to where I stood, he picked up some stones and began to disturb the water with them. "You've been getting a lot of fresh air lately. Are you sure you aren't expecting?" My once-searching eyes moved to Nathan with a deep frown on my face. What is with this idiot? First of all, he came here to disturb my moment with G
Godfrey’s POVThe morning of our wedding arrived with the soft glow of the sun spilling across the palace grounds. The sky was clear, the air cool and fresh, filled with the scents of wildflowers and pine from the nearby forest. Our wedding wasn’t just an ordinary one…it was a sacred werewolf ceremony, a bond blessed by the Moon Goddess, witnessed by our ancestors, and celebrated by our pack.The ceremony took place in the Moonstone Glade, a magical clearing hidden deep within the forest. The ground was covered with soft green moss, and petals of white and red flowers were scattered everywhere. An arch made of silver birch branches stood tall at the center, decorated with roses. Georgina had insisted that we did our wedding here and I agreed to it. “Are you nervous?” David whispered behind me. “Because I am.”I chuckled, turning to him. “I am the groom but you look more nervous than I am.”That was a lie, my heart was on fire, and I was only faking my calmness. Before he could r
Godfrey’s POVWe returned to the palace, people gasped in shock when they saw Georgina walking in, some of the maids fainted, and some elders rushed outside, their faces etched with a mixture of confusion and curiosityTheirThey eyes darting between Georgina and Thomas and Nathan, not sure which one to believe, both revelations was just too shocking. Georgina smiled walking towards the elders, they staggered backward in fear as they stared at her. Joana rushed over, pulling her into a hug. “You are alive,” she cried. Georgina smiled and released herself from her embrace. “come, I know you have a lot that you want to tell me and you want to know,” she said dragging her away. I turned to the sentinels. “Take the culprits to the dungeon, I want all eyes on them.”They nodded and moved into action, dragging them away. Just then another sentinel walked up to me and told me that my parents had arrived and were waiting for me. I asked him to gesture them in, and he nodded leaving immedi
Godfrey's POV***The day of Georgina's attack***The cold wind blew through the thick forest as we searched for Nathan and Thomas, but there was no sign of them. “Keep looking,” I instructed the guards, suddenly Draco felt uneasy. I paused looking around but there was nothing around that could have triggered Draco. “What happened?” I asked. I could feel Draco's rage flaring up, his growl low but dangerous. Something was wrong.I could finally feel it, something was indeed not right, I looked around studying the forest, and my eyes turned to Pamela who looked uneasy. This was a trick, a trap or a diversion. “Georgina,” I muttered, my eyes widened in alarm and without thinking, I ran back toward the mountains, my heart hammering loudly in my chest. I needed to get to Georgina immediately. I got to where I left her and Alicia and found no one, my uneasiness growing as I scanned the environment, but still no sign of them. Suddenly I looked up and I saw her.Georgina.She was stand
AUTHOR'S POV. Pamela stormed into the dimly lit room, her footsteps loud against the stone floor. She slammed the door shut behind her, the echo ringing through the room, Her hands curled into fists, her whole body trembling with anger.Across the room, Alicia leaned against the wall, her arms crossed under her breasts, a faint smile playing on her lips. The flickering candlelight cast shadows on her face. “We had a deal," Pamela spat, her voice cold and sharp. “You tricked me.”Alicia sighed, tilting her head slightly as if bored by the conversation. "Your mother is dead, Pamela. Isn’t that what you wanted?"Pamela’s eyes burned with rage. “I wanted her dead,” Pamela snapped, walking closer to her. “But do you know what I wanted more? The throne,” she snapped. “I did my own part of the job,” Alicia hissed. “Your own part of the job?* She scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief. “I wanted the throne, you said you would give me the throne.”Alicia let out a chuckle. “You lost th
Godfrey’s POVThe rain fell hard as we rode through the palace gates, but it did nothing to wash away the blood. Georgina’s body lay cold in my arms, wrapped in a dark cloak, her face pale as the dead sky above us.I could not feel anything. No pain. No anger. Just emptiness.I couldn't help but feel this was my fault, I was the one that persuaded her to go on this trip and I led her to her death and worst of all I couldn't catch the culprits. Tears flowed down my cheeks freely, words could not explain how I felt, I just felt empty and filled with guilt. “It is all your fault, it is your fault, your fault,” the accusations kept playing in my mind.I searched through my mind looking for Draco, I needed someone to pull me back…it was just too sudden. I kept glancing back at her body, hoping Georgina would just get up but she didn't.The sentinels followed behind in silence, their faces grim, so we were crying loudly. The moment we stepped inside the palace, the cries increased. Ser
Georgina’s POVThe cold wind from the North Sea hit my face as I stood by the rocky shore. The waves crashed against the rocks again and again, as if trying to pull the land into the sea. I inhaled deeply not wanting to miss any part of this, I was happy I actually listened to Godfrey because this was just what I needed.For the first time in weeks, I felt like I could breathe, No walls around me. No people watching my every move, Just the sound of the sea, stretching far and endless before me.Godfrey stood beside me, a faint smirk playing on his lips as he enjoyed the view.“See you like it,* he blurted out. “The sea air is good for you, good for resting.”“Is this a way of rubbing it on my face that you were right?” I chuckled, turning my head to him. *I can't say I wasn't trying to rub it off,” he said, giving me a wink. “You need to learn I am always right.”“I sighed, wrapping my hand around his. “I can’t remember the last time I felt this… free,” I admitted.Godfrey glanced a
Godfrey’s POVI walked down the dimly lit hallway, my footsteps echoing softly against the stone floor, the cool air of the night brushing through my face. I haven't seen Alicia since that morning and I have been getting nervous about it for a long time. I got to her room, scanning the hallway, I pushed open the door to her room without knocking.She was sitting in a chair, her posture calm, but I could feel, the tension in her, I couldn't see her face since she had her back facing me but I could tell she was tired. It was clear her werewolf was restless, even though she was silent, I could almost hear her wolf breathing heavily, I could feel its exhaustion… This must be what Garrick was talking about, I could actually feel her wolf. "Alicia," I said, stepping closer.She didn’t look at me right away, Instead, she kept staring at the wall, like she didn't know of my presence, Finally, she turned her head slightly. "Godfrey.""You seem... off." I studied her carefully. "Your wolf i
Thomas's POVThe moment the sack was yanked off, I felt the world tilt beneath me."Beta Nathan?" My voice cracked. I lunged forward, barely feeling the pain from my torn back as I wrapped my arms around him. His body was thinner, But he was actually alive. His arms tightened around me. "Thomas..." His voice was thick as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time.Tears glistening in my eyes. "I thought you were dead! Georgina…I thought she killed you!" My chest tightened with rage, with grief, with every emotion I had buried since I had been thrown into this hellhole.Nathan let out a bitter chuckle. "She wanted to, I almost thought I would be beheaded the next day, but someone switched me before the execution. I don’t even know who but all I knew was that I was taken to another place in the North but I was still locked away."He pulled back, gripping my shoulders. "And you, Thomas? They said you were dead, too. What happened?"I swallowed hard, the memories clawing at my throat. “The Kin
The sun was scorching as it beat down on the vast prison yard, dust swirling in the dry wind. The South’s biggest and hardest prison was no place for a man like Thomas. He had spent his life in luxury, waking up in silk sheets, eating the finest meals, and being waited on hand and foot, but here, comfort was a far-gone fantasy and suffering was their reality. Sweat dripped down his forehead as he swung the heavy pickaxe against the unyielding ground. His hands, once soft and uncalloused, now bled from the rough wood of the handle. His muscles ached, not used to such brutal labor, Around him, hardened criminals worked without pause, their bodies already accustomed to the endless toil.A low chuckle echoed behind him. “Look at the northern King, struggling like a newborn pup,” a voice sneered.Thomas turned, his breath heavy. Standing before him was the prisoner’s captain, a massive man with thick scars running across his arms and a jagged-toothed grin. His name was Darius, and he r
