The Alpha Prince lifts me in his arms, and I don't even oppose. I rest my head against his chest as he walks, relaxing in his grasp. I don't know where he's taking me, but I don't ask. A door opens and closes. I lift my head to look at my surroundings. It's an office with large, open windows, a mahogany table, and two leather couches. Nicholas walks behind the desk and sits with me, still pressed against his chest. I can't even get out if I want to because we are both comfortable. His hand is stroking my hair, and both of us are silent.The door opens again a few minutes later, and I turn to see who walked in. It's Lily, Blade, and Drake. I frown, feeling incredibly guilty. Sensing my sadness, Drake smiles. "I'm fine. I have big boy healing," he tells me. Indeed, he has fully healed. They make themselves comfortable on the sofas while they tease and laugh at Drake about having his ass kicked by me.I attempt to get off Nicholas' lap, realizing that it is inappropriate, but he hold
NicholasI still feel her lips against mine and soft skin beneath my fingers. Apphia's lips are so smooth, and soft. I wanted more and more. I was selfish, and now I'm scared that she thinks I only want her body and nothing more. When she pulled away from me and asked me not to go closer to her, I felt oxygen leave my body. I left the room even though I didn't want to. Reaching my suite, I go straight to the bar and pour myself a drink. I need a strong drink. I sit by the balcony couch, sipping my whiskey.I feel someone's presence behind me, and my hands are over my shoulder. I grab them and remove them from my body before turning. Brooklyn. "I'm back, baby," she smiles at me. "What are you doing here?" I growl, making her flinch. "Why are you glaring at me? Are you not happy to see me?" she asks. I'm not happy to see her. Brooklyn and I dated briefly, but it didn't last long. I broke up with her, but she never moved on from me, even though she dated other men."I'm not. Why are
When I opened my eyes early in the morning, the first person I thought of was Nicholas. He is my mate! I clutched my chest. 'Meow,' my cat purrs. I smile and caress her fur gently. "Good morning, beautiful," 'Meow,' I get out of bed, and to my surprise, my senses are more transparent than ever, and I can still feel Ziora. I thought she'd have left again, so I didn't want to hold hope. 'You're back for good,' 'I'm sorry for leaving you. I didn't mean to. I was trapped, but I'm free now,' 'Just don't go away again, please,' ' I won't,' After chatting with my wolf, I slid off the bed, and walk towards the spiral glass table where a fresh bouquet and a note awaits me. I smell the pink flowers and read the note. Good morning, my mate. I hope you had a lovely night. Mine wasn't great because I missed you. Love, Nicholas. Something about these flowers and notes brings life back into me. I head to the shower. After my shower. I blow-dry my hair and brush it. I wear a linen
Vicky and I go downstairs and go outside, where a driver awaits us. A man comes from the driver's seat and bows to us. "Luna, Miss Altamirano," he bows, "My name is Cedric, and I'll be your driver," I sigh again. Luna's title seems so heavy. However, titles and formalities are a show of rank and respect. I plan to get used to it since nothing will be done about it. Drake comes out of the house, looking rather happy. Vicky runs to him and kisses his lips. My eyes widened; I didn't know the two were dating. Drake pulls away, smiling nervously. He faces me, "So, I heard you two are going shopping?" he says. I nod. " To the mall!" cheers Vicky, jumping in the car. Cedric opens the door for me, "Thank you," I say, a bit embarrassed that he has to do that for me. I slide in the backseat, and Drake enters the front passenger seat. The ride to the mall is pleasant, and I'm looking out the window. The Sapphire Lycan moon pack is far better than my expectations. The houses
The following morning, I woke up from my sleep and went to the shower. I quickly dressed in a black dress and tights and went to the spiral table to smell my flowers and read my note, as always. I make my way to the kitchen as I’m hungry. I find Knox in the great room on my way. He is frowning and looking at his phone. "Good morning," I greet. Knox looks up from his phone and smiles at me. "Morning, where are you going?" he asks. "I'm going to see if I can find something to eat in the kitchen. I'm hungry," I say, rubbing my stomach. "I'll come, too. I missed breakfast," We go to the kitchen, and as we approach, something incredible is cooking. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are there; they beam to see us and bow their heads. "Luna Apphia, Prince Knox, what can we do for you?" Mr Wilson asks with a sweet smile. "We are hungry," Knox says, sitting on the island. Mrs. Wilson prepares food for us and then puts it before us. The plates are filled with pancakes, bacon, scrambled, and sa
ApphiaNicholas looks handsome in an all-black ensemble that seems too tight on his body. His muscular body is shown off, and his hair is tousled as usual. My body heats up, and I blush again. We leave the piano room immediately after Lily goes out. My apprehension is back; if Nicholas wasn't holding my hand, I couldn't have gone through this with this ceremony. "Are you ready?" he asks as we reach the back of the castle where the party is. " As ready as I'll ever be," I exhale. Nicholas kisses my temple and wraps a protective arm around my waist. We step into the garden, and I'm mesmerized by its beauty. It's like walking into a magical place decorated with shimmering lights, and lanterns. The garden is filled with the city's elites and alphas, all dressed most finely, chatting and holding glasses of champagne. How did they even prepare this in such a short time? Indeed, Lady Anaiah knew how to throw a party. There is even a huge stage set at the end of the red carpet. " How m
Apphia "You don't have to give me an answer now. Think about it," Maximus says. I nod at last, and he returns the nod. I need to learn more about his pack. Last time, he mentioned he has a fast-growing pack in the city. My wolf is suddenly alert and excited. 'Our mate is nearby,' "We should go back before they send an army to look for you,""I'll be in shortly," Without glancing back, I follow my mate's intoxicating scent. However, what I see makes my heart shatter. A hot brunette in a skimpy outfit has her arms on him while he holds her arms, gazing at each other. Nicholas' gaze meets mine, and his eyes widen. Tears stream down my face, and I turn on my heel and run from there. "Apphia!" I hear him call. Nicholas' povWhen I couldn't find Apphia inside, I searched for her in the garden. Unfortunately, my former girlfriend, Brooklyn, followed me and started to whine about me introducing another woman as my Luna, which hurt her feelings. "Nicholas, she can't please you how I can
Duncan I felt it, and my heart felt like it was being torn from my chest. My sister, my only sister's bond, had been severed from the Ivory moon pack, and as the new alpha, I felt it. It hurt. It has been two months since she's been missing, and I'm doing everything to find her, but it's futile as the royal city is too vast. Gavin, too, is beside himself with regret. He almost went crazy when he felt the bond that connected Apphia to the pack break. My father, the old bastard, didn't care too much about it or didn't show it, but I saw concern in his eyes. There are only a few reasons pack links are severed, either death or entering a new pack. I pray each waking moment that it is the latter. My fingers touch the the locket chain around my neck. It was given to me by Apphia long ago, on my 18th birthday. She came to my room all shy and adorable after school to give it to me and wish me a happy birthday. But I was harsh to her and ordered her to leave. She put a box on my dresser and
Apphia"This is one of the packhouses. It mostly shelters people we rescued from battles and different vile life circumstances," she explains as we walk to the entrance. This packhouse alone shelters over 500 people. We enter the extravagant mansion, and everyone is friendly and loves Anaiah. They want her attention, and she gives each one of them, talking with a perfect smile and just being so elegant and composed. She also introduces me to the people, telling them I'm their new Luna and warmly asking them not to be too hard on me. They crack a few jokes, and I'm in awe watching her. Eight hours later, it was getting late. Spending a day with Anaiah and visiting the packhouses was blissful. Instead of teleporting back to the castle, we walked as we had a heavy late lunch at the third packhouse. "Did you enjoy yourself today, dear?" she asks. “ I did, thank you for taking me,” "Next, I'll take you to the new schools on the outskirts of the city we are building. Not only that, but
Apphia"Do you want me to fuck you, Apphia?" Nicholas' salacious' voice asks in my ear. I nod eagerly. I'm lying on the bed naked, my legs spread wide. My breath is ragged. "Nicholas!" I moan as he sucks my nipples. My body is burning with need. I want him in me so badly. My pussy is dripping. He smirks and slowly aligns himself on my entrance, his eyes heating with raw desire. "Please," I beg. He enjoys my pleas. "I love how you moan my name, baby," his fingers trail to touch my inner thighs, and I tremble. "Please," I breathe. "But you haven't yet said it, baby," his fingers leave my legs and trail across my stomach and up to my breasts, caressing them and fondling them. I cry out. I feel like I'm going to come with his touch. "I want you in me, please," I cry, desperate now. A cruel smile plays on his mouth as he slips his long fingers into my pussy. "You're ready for me, Apphia,"My eyes are darkening as I stare at the dark prince of lust. He is different. So carnal,
Gavin I was missing my mate like crazy. I wanted her so badly. I regretted my decision to reject her. I should have accepted her and kept her safe. I leave my office and go to my Alpha's office. I need to ask if there is any news of Apphia. My wolf and I are desperate to get her back. Duncan only talks to me when we talk about the pack and work. I'm told by an omega that he saw Duncan in the backyard, and I go there. However, when I reach the packhouse backyard, I hear screaming. "Let me go!" a woman screams. "No, why are you running away from me?! " That sounds like my Alpha. I rush down the woods, where the voices come from into the clearing, following my Alpha's disgruntled voice. Duncan is holding a girl in his arms. I recognize her as our former gamma's daughter, Nalani. She is pushing him away, but he doesn't release her, holding her tightly against his chest. "Duncan! What do you think you're doing?" I run towards them, but he growls at me. "Dude, she doesn't want you
