"Her room?"Prince Louis repeated my words in a puzzled tone. But soon he understood and let out a deep chuckle from the depths of his throat, pressing his entire body against my shoulder.His hand tightly wrapped around my waist, and the touch of his skin felt like it was on fire, spreading from one point to my entire body in an instant. In this position, I had nowhere to place my hands, so I gripped onto the high-end pure black suit that Prince Louis was wearing."No, please don't," I bit my lip and, like a dying swan, tried to lift my neck in an attempt to avoid his scorching breath spraying on my neck. "Your Highness, I'm serious. I have seen it, including the black lace nightgown in that wardrobe."I suppressed my voice, deliberately reminding him."Believe me, Claire, I am just as serious as you are."Prince Louis lightly kissed my burning earlobe and spoke to me in a hoarse, deep voice.In the dim car, I was shaken by the flickering fire in his blue eyes. His gaze was like two
This kiss was different from before.It was gentle, hot, and lingering, like desire sparked under flickering candlelight. It wasn't scorching, yet it was enough to put me on a trace.Prince Louis held me close, his tongue boldly invading my mouth. He invaded with a gentle but irresistible force, as if patrolling his private territory. I was initially intoxicated, but soon, as his tongue delved deeper, I gradually felt overwhelmed.I could only make trembling moans from the depths of my throat, tilting my neck back, surrendering to his dominant kiss.I didn't know how much time had passed, perhaps a few seconds or a few minutes, but the process felt unusually long and tormenting. My heart, which had settled down, started pounding vigorously again. By the time he mercifully released me, my head was already muddled and incapable of coherent thoughts.I was utterly powerless, only able to rest my forehead against his shoulder, gasping for breath, even my shoulders trembling slightly.The
"I...,"I opened my mouth, feeling somewhat flustered as I looked at him. At Louis's slightly disappointed gaze, I slowly shook my head.After helping that boy, a portion of my memory inexplicably went missing. The only thing I remembered was that when I woke up again, I was already in a hospital near the campsite.Who saved me?I recall my mother sitting by the bedside, her eyes red and filled with tears. She held my hand tightly, her eyes shimmering with tears. She told me that both of us, a significant figure and I, were found in the forest, severely injured. Fortunately, due to timely medical treatment, neither of us was in mortal danger.That hunting event eventually turned into an investigation.I weakly lay on the hospital bed, dazedly listening to my mother as she spoke. It seemed that the king was furious.Many werewolves were banished or even executed, while a she-wolf who saved us was honored by the royal family for her bravery and kindness, receiving the highest honors.As
A prince wants to pursue me?How is that possible?But the feeling of that kiss was so wonderful that I couldn't control my thoughts. My wolf told me she didn't dislike the man in front of us, but I really didn't want her to suffer any more harm."Yes," I heard Prince Louis answer confidently.He even seemed a bit surprised as he asked me, "Goodness, Claire, do you think I'm the kind of womanizer who flirts with any beautiful woman? My reputation may not be great, but I have never done any terrible thing.""But," I stuttered in my response, "I'm not ready for another relationship, in fact, I am..."My emotions gradually became heavy. Because I remembered the agonizing state my wolf was in yesterday and Cathy's words today.I was well aware that the man in front of me was a prince.'And you,' I said to myself, 'Claire, look at yourself. You're homeless, a lone wolf without a pack, and you haven't even finished university. You don't even have the ability to support yourself... Even that
After dinner, I suddenly remembered something."Your Highness, you mentioned earlier that you prepared a surprise for me. What is it?" I asked Prince Louis, who was sitting across from me at the dining table."Well, I was just about to tell you," Louis wiped his mouth with a napkin, then stood up and flashed a charming smile at me. "Come with me, Claire."He extended his hand towards me, and the silver wolf-head ring glimmered under the light.I stared at his palm, as if enchanted, and instinctively offered my hand to him.His hand was rough, large, and warm, almost completely enveloping my delicate fingers. The second we touched, my fingertips were slightly scorched, but Prince Louis immediately grabbed my hand firmly in his own.Seeing this, Alfred raised an eyebrow. He and the other servants remained silent as they tidied up the tableware and swiftly left the dining room, leaving us alone."Let's go," Louis said softly.I followed half a step behind him as we left the dining room.
The passionate kiss continued for a long time.Initially, we were in a seated position. Later, Prince Louis, unable to contain his inner impulse, simply wrapped his arms around my waist and had me sit on his firm thigh.At that moment, my slender waist couldn't help but tremble.Through the thin fabric of his well-tailored trousers, I could distinctly feel that scorching, overwhelming thing. It had become rigid during this lingering and moist kiss, and its size and shape made me feel somewhat overwhelmed."You will enjoy it," Prince Louis remarked, noticing my body's tension. He breathed heavily and spoke in a low, suggestive voice near my ear.After saying that, he indulgently opened his mouth, slightly tilting his head, and used his skillful tongue to touch mine. Despite remaining still on the sofa, aside from his fingers gently caressing my slender shoulders, the kiss was so passionate and deep that it was impossible to resist.My last remaining shred of reason was gradually eroded
"Very good."Prince Louis curved his lips, revealing a satisfied smile. He regained his composure and rewarded me with a gentle kiss on the lips. "Well done, my puppy."I felt a hidden excitement within me. The insecurity inside me screamed for escape, yet I yearned to be controlled by a more dominant lover."Your Highness, I will obey you." My eyes were hazy as I pressed my forehead against his shoulder, my body trembling and convulsing from his teasing.My words caught Prince Louis off guard, and the next moment, an intense storm of kisses followed!At this moment, the man who was playing with me looked like an innocent madman. He repeatedly sucked my lips until they turned swallow, while one of his hands roughly kneaded my breasts, changing its shape as if molding soft dough.His other hand tightly held my waist as he kept rubbing against my thighs with his lower body. The intense sensations all over my body made my mind dizzy. The sounds I had been suppressing by biting my lower l
The next day, I woke up quite late, unsure whether it was due to staying up too late the previous night or the effect of the half glass of champagne. As I lay in bed, I let out a sleepy groan. The bright morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, and as I rubbed my eyes and stretched lazily, my fingertips unexpectedly brushed against something.It was scorching hot, burning, and had a soft texture that felt like skin.I jolted awake, opening my eyes to find a blond man sitting beside me, engrossed in reading some documents. My mind went blank for a moment."What are you doing here?"It was only after I noticed he wasn't wearing anything that I screamed in terror, quickly covering myself with a blanket."This is my bedroom," Prince Louis said, taking off the silver-rimmed glasses from his nose and gazing at me with a mixture of amusement and flirtation. "Where do you think I should be, my mate?"I couldn't help but feel that his last word, "mate," resonated in a way that was incre
Maria's POV“What happened? What’s going on?!”The sudden explosion of cheers woke me from my drowsiness. I looked around in panic, and only after confirming that there was no danger did I finally relax. I grabbed Mandy, who was leaning on a broom and watching TV with great interest.“Mandy, what’s going on? Why is it suddenly so noisy outside?”“That’s not noise, Maria,” Mandy said, revealing an ugly smile with a mouth full of crooked teeth. “Alpha Louis just announced his heir!”Hearing the name that hadn’t appeared in my life for so long, it took me a few seconds to finally react. “Louis? Prince Louis?! He’s become the Alpha King now?!”“You really are a country bumpkin.” Mandy rolled her eyes dramatically at me and disdainfully pushed my arm away. “That happened last month. Haven’t you heard? Our Alpha even has an heir now.”“Heir?”The moment of confusion was quickly replaced by a surge of joy.Yes, the heir—it must be my Chris! My Chris has become the heir of the kingdom. That m
Louis's POV"Your Majesty, here is your speech."Kyle's voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I quickly turned off my phone, hiding Claire's refusal from the screen."Sure." I took the paper Kyle handed me and scanned it quickly, frowning. "Isn't this a bit too formal?"Kyle shrugged. "Well, Your Majesty, tonight is an official ceremony. After all, every werewolf will witness Claire becoming our Luna.""Alright."I nodded in agreement, folded the paper, and tucked it into my suit pocket. Then, I checked my watch. "How long until the wedding starts?""About twenty minutes. Perhaps you would like to wait outside? The media is ready."Glancing out at the castle lawn, I saw the sea of people and cameras aimed at the wedding venue. Surrounding the crowd were countless armed guards maintaining order.I withdrew my gaze and chuckled. "This might be the grandest ceremony of the year, don't you think?""Well, perhaps the grandest ceremony of the century."Kyle responded with a smile. "Shall we
Claire's POV"Are you sure this dress looks okay, Olivia?"I anxiously tugged at the wedding gown and stared nervously at my reflection in the mirror. Damn, my waist still looks a bit bulky."Am I the only one who thinks this dress makes me look fat?""Yes, my dear Luna."Olivia, who had already helped me change into the third wedding dress, rolled her eyes at me. "You look absolutely stunning, Claire. You're just experiencing a common condition called pre-wedding anxiety."As she spoke, Olivia lifted the large train of my dress to prevent Kitty from stepping on it."Don't believe me? Ask Kitty! Kitty, do you think Claire looks beautiful?"Caught off guard, Kitty turned around, holding a flower basket slung over her shoulder. It was empty of petals, but she already looked as cute as a doll.Oh, how I wished my first child would be a girl as adorable as her! I silently prayed to the Moon Goddess.But the sweet Kitty couldn't hear my thoughts. She tilted her head and carefully examined
Louis's POV"This will likely be our last meeting, Prince Louis."In a small tavern near the Southern Forest, Garfield Evans, clad in black and wearing a hood, sat across from me. The arrogance and ambition once evident in his demeanor were replaced with a bitter smile and an unhidden hatred towards his enemies."I suppose so," I replied, ignoring Garfield's raised glass and instead downing my drink in one gulp. "After all, the Southern Forest is a terrifying place. Even my brother met his end there.""Well, dying in the same place as Liam would be a kind of luck," Garfield responded with a resigned smile, but I could see the sincerity mixed with sorrow in his moist eyes."Don't forget, this time you'll face not only the horrors of the Southern Forest but also the secret organization hiding within it, which opposes the royal family. They are your real enemies.""I'll never forget that, Your Highness. Rest assured, I will avenge Liam before I breathe my last!"The rekindled murderous i
Claire's POV“So… you really plan to exile Evans?” I asked cautiously after listening to Louis recount the events in the dungeon the previous night. “What about the Black Mountain pack? They’re already stirring, trying to overthrow the royal family. Won’t this only fuel their ambitions?”“On the contrary. I plan to convene the Council of Elders and hold a public trial for Garfield Evans. Once his crimes are exposed to all the werewolves, everyone will understand why I imprisoned him. By then, the Black Mountain pack will have no justification for opposing the royal family.”Louis calmly analyzed the situation while peeling a grape and placing it in my mouth. I nodded thoughtfully, but then immediately spat it out, wrinkling my nose.Louis looked at me in concern, “What’s wrong?”“The grape tastes bad,” I said, my mouth puckering from the sourness.“Really?” Louis glanced at the grapes on the table and immediately summoned Alfred.“Your Highness.”“Claire says the grapes are bad.”“Bad
Garfield's POV“Say it again—what did you do to him?!” I tightened my grip on Maria’s throat, feeling an overwhelming urge to snap it right there and then.“Tell me, Maria, what else did you do to him?!!”“Let go of me! Garfield!”Maria's face had turned purple, her flailing legs now dancing on the edge of the abyss. Even this couldn’t quench the burning hatred I felt for this woman.Blood debts must be paid in blood!Anger surged within me. Just as I resolved to end her wretched life, a figure crashed into me. My injured leg gave out, and I fell into a puddle, releasing my hold on Maria."Seize them all!"Prince Louis’s commanding voice echoed in the dank, hollow dungeon. Within moments, torches illuminated the damp darkness. A squad of armed guards swarmed the small cell, capturing Maria, Rick, and me, dragging us before Louis.“Prince Louis, Evans... Evans tried to kill me!”Louis’s appearance was Maria’s salvation. She cried out, reaching for Louis’s robe, but he recoiled in disgu
Garfield's POV"Alpha!"Just as I was coaxing Kitty to finish her broccoli, a figure once again climbed through the window."Rick?" I narrowed my eyes at my beta, my tone growing stern. "I don't recall ordering you to enter the castle again.""I'm very sorry, Alpha."Rick's expression was serious under my rebuke. "I followed your instructions that night, intending to take Chris from Maria's villa. But I discovered something important that I felt I had to report to you immediately."I scrutinized Rick. Though he wasn’t particularly sharp, he had always been loyal. If he claimed to have made a significant discovery, then…I set down the bowl in my hand and said, "Go ahead. What did you find out?""Last night, Chris suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the hospital.""What?!" My voice involuntarily showed my anxiety. "How is he now? Is he alright?!""No. In fact, I overheard the doctor and Maria talking. The doctor said Chris's illness is congenital and very difficult to cure—unless Maria
Maria's POVThings were progressing smoothly.I walked quickly through the castle’s corridors, followed by three or four guards. They were accompanying me to retrieve Prince Liam’s portraits and belongings on Louis’s orders. However, these items were useless in saving my son’s life. The only person who could save Chris now was someone else entirely.“Ouch!” I exclaimed in pain, clutching my stomach and suddenly squatting down.“What happened?!”“I... my stomach hurts.” I faced the approaching guards, looking distressed and speaking weakly, “I’ve been too stressed about Chris’s illness, and my stomach problems have flared up again.”“What should we do?!” One of the guards scratched his head, looking worried. “Should I notify Prince Louis…”“No, there’s no time to waste!” I bit my lip, feigning great pain, and interrupted the guard’s suggestion. “The most important thing now is to get Prince Liam’s portraits and belongings! If Chris wakes up, he will surely want to see his father first…
Claire's POV“What? Chris is in the hospital?! What happened?!”“Calm down, my dear.”Louis gently pushed me back onto the couch, but his brows remained furrowed. He turned to the guard who brought the news and asked, “Could this be another one of Maria’s schemes? Is she trying to gain sympathy using Chris?”“No.” The guard lowered his head and relayed the information he received from the doctor about Chris’s condition.“Moreover, I inquired with the emergency team that responded that night. They all confirmed that Chris nearly suffocated to death.”The words “nearly suffocated” left Louis in silence, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of worry for the innocent boy. No matter what Maria had done, Chris was just a child. Besides, he was Liam’s only son.Thinking this, I turned to the guard and asked, “Which hospital is Chris in now?”“Saint Richard’s Hospital, but Chris is still unconscious. The doctors have recommended no visitors.”It seemed Chris was gravely ill this time. Both Lo
