Sylvia's POVI was alone and broken. I had no family, no friends and no allies. I was completely alone. I have never felt this way in my life. I, Princess Sylvia, who had a good number of guards and servants under my control had no one to turn to.I missed my father and I lost without him. He would always tell me what to do. He always said there's always a way out of a problem but I don't see any way out. He was a good father and he looked out for me the best way he knew now. He wasn't ruthless enough.If he had listened to me and launched an attack on Arden the moment he kicked me out, Arden would have been in shambles. He would be begging me to come back to him and I would have gone back to him because I love him. Unfortunately, he didn't feel the same.I had to steal food to get by and I had to hide in abandoned buildings to spend the night. This was an awful way to live my life. Not even the slaves in the palace lived like this. They had a bed to sleep in, a comfortable room and f
Sylvia's POVShe looked at me with a blank expression. She must wonder why it's taking me so long to decide on if I agree with her. To be honest, I want to agree with her."Do I know you can trust you?" I asked.She cackled loudly. "Trust me? You are really talking about trust? Says the wolf betraying her people. But no matter what, I know what you mean."She cleared her throat. "You wanted power to get back at the Lycan's King's Luna, right?" She asked."You know what I want. Stop playing games!" I yelled."May I remind you that you are the one who called me out for my help," something possessed me and I could feel my bones cracking. I screamed with the pain I felt. "So, don't test my patience."She stopped what possessed me and I fell to the ground. She tuts and walks around me."Oh dear, you are pathetic. Still pinned to a man who doesn't love you but you direct all your anger and hatred to his Luna." She said,"That's not true. His mate is the person who ruined things for me. I am
Serena’s POVZone didn’t let me watch the execution because he thought it wasn’t I should be watching which I hated. I didn’t want to do it out of spite though. I felt bad for Sylvia. I know she has wronged me in more ways then I can count but I just felt an execution was a little too much.I heard she even confronted Arden after the execution and guards admitted that she threatened him but Arden was unbothered for some reason.I don’t have a good feeling with Sylvia still being out there because who knows what she is up to and what or who she is scheming with.She’s truly desperate and she will reach out to anyone for help. She has nothing to lose after all. I just hope I am wrong but I am usually not wrong about these things.Also, I don’t want to bother anyone else with my thoughts. Everyone seems like they are finally breathing fresh air and I don’t want to be the person to dampen the mood. I will just sit back and watch the activities in the palace return back to normal.Arden go
ANOTHER DISASTERSerena's POVAfter spending some intimate time with Arden, I decided to meet my friend who gave Arden that ridiculous advice. I wanted to confront them and ask why they would think of such an idea but I had another plan in mind.I entered Rachel's room and both her and Gilly were seated there. They looked at me like they knew nothing about Arden's proposal and the public knowing about the proposal. They looked excited and they tried their best to hide that excitement."Hey, Arden was looking for you." Rachel said."Oh, I already saw him." I said and chuckled. "And he mentioned something very funny. Apparently, the whole kingdom knows I'm his Luna now which is strange because he hasn't asked me to marry him yet."They both looked scared and I was glad with the reactions I got. I need them to realize the gravity of what would happen if that plan did go wrong. Also, this was very fun to watch. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they realize I am just messin
Serena’s POVThe news about Derek’s pack being attacked still lingered on in my mind. It was later confirmed that they were being attacked my rogues. What is unclear is why the rogues would attack his pack. Rogues usually terrorize the lonely parts of the woods but they have never entered the kingdom before.This news made me bothered all day and even now that it is night time, I still don’t feel comfortable.Arden has reassured me time and time again about how he will send tropes there to protect the people but there’s something that still calls out to me, making me increasingly worried.He slept soundly while I was wide awake wondering why I still feel an attachment to the place. I think of my time back but there are no fond memories. I tried to force myself to sleep but a particular memory lingered in my mind. The memory of my mother.Then it clicked. My mother’s relic. It was still there. No wonder I was uneasy. That was the last piece of me there and I have to go and get it. It i
Serena’s POVThe sun was down and it was time for the tropes to leave. Rachel and Zone already packed their backs and readied their armor. I didn’t have any but I wasn’t afraid. After all, I wasn’t fighting in the battle. I just needed my mother’s relic.I tried to sneak off without Arden suspecting anything. I know he will be furious about this but I have to do this. I took the sword and a few things for sustenance. We leave in the end of night but I need to be at the training so I would be easier to go without drawing too much attention to myself.As I walked swiftly through the hallway almost to the training ground, I couldn’t help but feel victorious that my plan had worked.When I got to the training ground no one was there. Good. I can hide there until everyone is ready to leave.“Going somewhere?” someone asked in the shadows.As much as I was frightened, I drew the sword and I was ready to attack. I don’t know that person is but trespassers are not allowed in this palace.He s
Serena’s POVWhile we lay in bed staring at the ceiling, I noticed how tightly Arden was clinging to me. He didn’t want to let me go and I don’t want to leave him alone either. I wanted to make tonight special for us.I pushed myself upward and I propped my head up with my elbow. I ran my fingers along his face taking in every bit of detail I see. I don’t know how long will be gone but I want to leave with the memory of us like this. Being one as it should be.He turns to me and kisses my hand. He wrapped his arm around my waist and he still was silently begging for me to not leave but he knows my mind is made.His thumb gentle stroke the waist line of my pants not in a sexual way but in a sweet way. He was trying to take it all in that I was leaving and I have never seen him so sensitive and vulnerable. It makes my heart break to see him like that.I leaned in and kiss his forehead. He sucked in air with his mouth, giving me the most adorable look ever. I did it again the kissed his
Serena’s POVDespite the beautiful yet long night I had, I had to get ready to go to Derek’s pack to get my mothers relic and nothing was stopping me.I wanted to get out of bed but Arden held on to me tightly. He was still hung-over last night. He kept touching me all through the night despite the fact that he was exhausted.“Good morning, Arden.” I said.“It’s morning already?” he was acting oblivious.“I have to go get ready.” I said to him.“Sure, but can we do a quick one?” he asked.“We had sex all night.” I pointed out.“It’s not my fault I find you very attractive.” He said seductively.I pushed him away playfully and I broke from his grip. “I am going to shower.” I said.He got you and pulled me into a kiss. I would feel myself getting aroused but I know that is a slippery slope.“Arden, no.” I muttered as we kissed.“Just a quick one I promise.” He said running his fingers along my thighs and touching me in my sweet spot.I moaned in his lips and he pushed me to the wall. He
