Hey Sweet Readers! Can you all guess who Princess Lenora is? 🙂 Let me know in the comments! Leave some reviews! Lastly, I saw some comments in the previous chapter about why Tyson was not able to pick Nora's scent and recognize her. In the early chapters, I mentioned that Nora was using witch potions, and her scent was masked. She had even changed her hair color before and Amanah had to change it to the real one. Also, in this chapter, there is another reason explained for this. Nora and Tyson had never met face to face which hinders his ability to tell if she is his sister or not. So right now, Nora is the infamous know-it-all person and everyone else is just living in her world. 😂 I hope this cleared up the confusion! P.S. Keep voting and Thanks for Reading! ❤️ Love you all!❤️ ~S.Y
NORAAmanah led me down the stairs, into one of the many dining rooms this castle had to host important guests.On our way, she kept giving me fierce looks. She was reminding me that I needed to glue myself to Striker.I found this funny. So, I kept grinning until we were inside the dining room where the lunch was arranged.As we stepped inside, all eyes turned on me. Silently, Amanah bowed her head in respect and walked backward.I glanced her way. She went out of the same door we used to come inside and my eyes followed her body.“ How long are you planning on staying there, Lady Lana? Come over. I want to introduce you to Dustin, Tyson, and Lenora. ” Scary Granny’s voice fell over my ears, sending shivers down my spine.For a moment, I almost forgot about Lenora. When I remembered, I turned to the Granny with a wide smile on my lips.Everyone was already seated. My eyes instantly met Striker’s amused gaze. He was sitting at the end of the table, a glass of wine in his hand as he a
NORASilence fell over the dining room again. Dustin watched me patiently.I breathed in through my nose and blew it out through my mouth before pushing the chair back. Getting up, I waited for him to do the same.I was angry. I had to go. It was good that Dustin intervened or I might have lost my mind there for a second.Dustin sighed, getting up before gripping my wrist and beginning to pull me away.Confused, I threw Striker a glance over my shoulder only to find him already glaring at us. Oops! He looked pissed. Even more than me. This made me smile in his direction.My gaze drifted towards Granny and I found her glaring just like her Grandson. The disdain was visible in her eyes. I pouted, the smile dropping from my lips. I didn’t want to anger her—she was my second friend here. First was Amanah. He pulled me out of the door and continued to walk. When we were away from the dining room, I tried to pry my wrist out of his hold.“ Your Highness. Do you mind? ” I mumbled, failing
NORA I ran away from there after I was done thinking about what I should do. Hiding sounded like the best option. First, I went to Striker’s room, thinking he couldn’t find me there. He would not think I was hiding under his nose. When I entered, I found Amanah instead. She was commanding the maids, getting his room cleaned in a hurry. I sighed in relief. “ Amanah! ”She turned to me as I rushed to her and took my dose of hug support. She was a good friend of mine, I could find much-needed comfort here. “ Go outside. ” She told the maids who were watching us with their wide eyes and open mouths. These people really overreacted to everything. Pulling away from Amanah, I saw all the maids leaving one by one. “ I told you, Lady Lana. You should stick by His Highness’ side tonight. ” She whispered when the last maid exited and closed the door. “ I kind of…messed things up with Striker again. I need to hide immediately or he is going to come and… ” Kiss me again. Probably. Or may
NORAI huffed. “ Satan’s Buttocks, Nora! Why are you such an idiot?! ”I looked all around and decided to check everywhere. I went to different shops, did window shopping, and almost lost sight of the goal again. Then, I went to the food stalls and only watched because I was broke.Humming a soft tune, I stood before another double-story building. Loud music was sounding from inside.I peeked in, seeing many women dancing while wearing revealing clothes. Possibly…Striker and Beatrice were not here.I continued humming the tune and turned back around to go somewhere else but the music was just too good.Taking a look wouldn’t cause too much time loss. I grinned, running inside the building.My eyes fell to the sitting area where the men were watching the women dance before I looked to the corner where many women were sitting in the laps of men, saying things I was not interested to listen.“ Sweetie, how much for the night? ” A man from behind slid his hand down my bare arm, questioni
NORA Striker stared down at me, without ever blinking. I gulped, my eyes flickering around the room, searching for the exit. There was one window, but it was behind Dustin. Instead, there was a wide-open door just behind me. “ So…she is not Princess Lenora? ” I scrunched my nose, glancing at Beatrice. “ I had the right hunch. She had an omega vibe. A Lycan Princess can not give that vibe. You said Omegas were not your type. You clearly lied, Your Highness! ” Her smile fell. Silence ensured. Striker’s grip on my hair tightened some more. “ Who came with you? ” Tyson got up, rolling his shoulders. He was preparing to kill me, it seemed. “ I came alone. ” I pouted. “ but I told Amanah and Nina and a lot of my personal maids and it seemed that Amanah was running away to tell Queen Grandmother. ” The atmosphere grew tense. I grinned evilly. My hand went to Striker’s hand behind my head. I grabbed it and tried to pull it off. “ Let’s have a peace talk. ” I mumbled. He left my hair
STRIKERWe have to kill her. Dustin and Tyson didn’t even need to say it out loud. It was written on their faces and the look they were giving me was alarming.We had to protect the secret by getting rid of her. But Beast was whining about it, as always. And deep down somewhere, I didn’t want to kill her either. She seemed too innocent to get killed for something which was my fault, to begin with.I should have asked someone to keep an eye on her. Yet, I thought she was too dumb to do something harsh and let her off the hook. And now, she was in deep shit.I didn’t want her to die. Fuck it! I didn’t want to be the one to kill her.That’s why I asked Dustin and Tyson to stay behind and followed her alone. I let her run, yet I stayed behind her. I thought she would be quick to cross the border and it wouldn’t be my problem anymore, but she was tired and she was running opposite the closest border. This was stupid and annoying.To top it all with an irritating cherry, she fell and sprain
NORAI was wrong when I thought he would carry me back to the Brothel. He took me back to the castle instead through the wide open gates and we didn’t talk to each other the whole way.Striker looked conflicted about something. I didn’t need to ask what he was thinking. I knew it already.He didn’t want to kill me right now because it would be too troublesome for him, but when this year ended, he wouldn’t let me leave with his secret. I would have to think of an escape then, but right now, I should only think about the present and I should try my best to not infuriate him any longer.I liked my head too much to let it rot in a basket so soon.After he put me on the bed in his room, he left to do God knows what. Amanah came running to his room, her eyes screaming worry.“ I even gave you the potion, yet you got caught. ” She scolded like a mother.“ I know right? I am such an idiot. ” I sighed, dropping on my back.“ Why are you so dirty? ” She asked, walking closer.I looked at the ce
NORAStriker released my lips and trailed a path of open-mouth kisses down my jaw, my neck, and my collarbone. I was breathless and so hot that I doubted I would survive this sweet torture.If I thought his lips were enough to send me to hell, he brought his right hand up and cupped my right boob. My soul departed from my body. He grinded against me again, as his hands played with my body and his lips trailed kisses to all places he knew off.He grabbed the neckline of my dress and tore it to reveal my bare boobs to his eyes. Momentarily, he paused and sucked in a quick breath. I opened my eyes and held his dark gaze.Lowering his head, he ran his tongue across my right hardened nipple. I whimpered, my hands holding his shoulders for support. He opened his mouth as he kept my eyes pinned on him and sucked my nipple into his wet mouth.My head dropped back, my body arching into his as I moaned at the unfamiliar sensation.Growling like an animal, he peeled my back off the window and ca
Hey Sweet Readers! So, after some eight months (that's really a lot. I didn't know so much time had passed honestly), the story is complete. Nora and Striker's story was different from all the stories I ever wrote before. I didn't know what overcame me when I started writing this story and decided to make Nora a crackhead from the beginning *evil laugh*, but I guess, I wanted to try something unique for the first time. I was tired of the usual All Dark Romances with the FL getting tortured and the ML being an a-hole. It was really an experiment. I was nervous about it in the beginning because I doubted anyone would want to read this book, but you all my sweet readers proved me wrong. I can't thank you enough for the support you always show me and I will never stop saying it ❤️ Like all the books before, I unconsciously delayed writing the end of this story because I was too attached to the characters but I am glad I was able to finish it. Now what's next? I am sure you all are wo
NORA “ I went to look for him before any of you did. ” He whispered and pushed himself away from the railing. “ I always will. ” I was left speechless once again. He walked away from me and left his words hanging in the air. ‘ He fucked everything up. ’ Striker groaned down our link. ‘ Make sure Ryder doesn’t see any of it. ’ I sighed and decided to follow the rest of the crowd to see what was being done. People stepped aside to give me way when they noticed my aura and me. I exited the grand hall and approached the throne room. Everyone followed me closely, eager to witness the King of the East and his new shenanigan. I came to a slow halt as I noticed blood painting the floor outside the golden double doors of the throne room. I picked up my head and stared at the man in the distance. Tyson was sitting on the grey concrete seat that had golden engravings. He was only wearing his jeans, and the upper half of his body was bare. His legs were spread apart as he rested back on
NORA Tyson couldn’t stay with us for long. He fulfilled his promise to me, gave Jack back to Striker, and then departed for the East. The little time he spent with me was enough for me to know something had changed in him. Maybe, everything had changed. His voice was no longer gentle. His eyes didn’t shine. He lost his genuine smile that used to touch the hearts. I wanted to know if it was because he was part vampire now. But, I didn’t get the chance as Striker was attached to his side first and then, it was Ryder who refused to leave him alone. Surprisingly, Ryder was able to pull the old Tyson out of him for a little while. When he smiled at him, it was real. And even for a small amount of time, Tyson’s eyes shone bright again. It was enough for me to sit back and just watch the first interaction between my son and my brother. There was still hope for Tyson. He was not all lost. And after two weeks of his return, I was proved right. I was sent an invitation from the East
NORA It was unexpected but people got used to the absence of the wall pretty fast. Levian could be credited for this perhaps. Because he didn’t attack us after the day he promised me the things he did. Vampires and humans were rarely seen. That was the case with Tyson too. He didn’t return even after two years passed. Dad went back to being the King in Tyson’s place while the three Kingdoms waited for the return of the King of the East. That’s what I liked to believe before I visited the East and realized the harsh truth. The people of the East were ecstatic that they didn’t have to deal with a rapist King anymore. They flourished during the reign of my Dad. I didn’t want to, but I felt bitter towards those people. Striker told me at that time. Tyson has to do a lot of work to make people believe in him again. But, I didn’t agree with him. People treated him harshly due to an accusation that was not even trialed or proven. They didn’t care what it made him feel or put him
STRIKER When I didn’t find her sleeping beside me earlier, I felt the worse fear of my life. Panic and anger became one, consuming my every thought, and hijacking my every move. I searched for her like a madman. In the castle. In my mind. And when I realized where she must be, all logic evaded me. I ran to save her, desperate to get to her before she ended up in danger. I was not terrified for one but two lives. My whole world, my family, my love was at risk…and there was nothing I wanted more than to have it all back. Nora made me go through all this. I could understand her desperation to find her brother but she didn’t need to do this to me. I would have gone to find Tyson anyway. I would have done everything to bring him back. For a moment, I was angry that she didn’t trust me, didn’t believe in me…and this thought drove me crazy. But it didn’t mean this anger would push me away from her. On the contrary, I found myself becoming more possessive. After what happened to
NORA“ It’s Lenora Skoldofr now. ” My voice echoed in the silent hall. “ I am the mate of Alpha King of the West. Do I need other reasons? ” “ Women are not…” Another started again but closed his mouth when I looked at him.Or maybe, because Striker looked at him at the same time.A little part of me found it infuriating but if I needed Striker’s shadow to get things done, I wouldn’t mind. I would never fight with him over this.“ I know you all were discussing the vampire threat. ” I started.All eyes were on me, judging and rejecting. Women were not supposed to take part in such activities.“ I want to be useful and suggest something to the Alpha King. ” If I needed to rely on him, so be it.“ What suggestion? ” Striker wondered, craning his neck to look at me.Instead of getting up and towering over me, he let me remain the taller one. Turning to me, and staying in this position didn’t affect him in front of all these people.“ We have a small army. ” I stated, as a matter of fact
NORAStriker didn’t ask me about Tyson again. We had come to a silent agreement that until his return, we wouldn’t discuss him. I was relieved. But, I couldn’t get Tyson out of my mind.When we came back, Granny was waiting for me. Instead of scolding me as she had done once before, she embraced me. I was given clothes to wear, and Striker was taken to the throne room by a warrior.Apparently, my adorable, violent mate had summoned the whole Kingdom and all the Alphas for any possible war. Now, he needed to send everyone back. Granny didn’t let me follow him when I tried to go. She pulled me to the sitting area, her hold firm on my wrist.She was scared.Everyone was scared.Except Amanah. She was scared and hurt.Right after she saw me sit in the sitting area, she turned and left me with Granny. My heart drowned, but then it went back inside my chest when I realized I could always talk to her.Amanah would never hate me, or remain angry at me forever.“ I was not expecting such an
NORA Levian was not a liar. When he said he wouldn’t fight, he stayed true to his words. He made all his people stand back. All I had to do was to go to my fuming Striker after that. He was still spitting fire, that burned the ground he walked on. When he saw me coming, his wolf stopped glowing like a stove and calmed down. His head dipped a little low, letting me step closer. ‘ We are not fighting today, Striker. ’ I whispered down the mind link. ‘ What makes you think I will leave him alone when I have him just in front of me? ’ He snarled. He was angry and barely holding that flaring fire back. It was clear that this was all now directed at me because I ran away from home. ‘ We will not provoke him like our ancestors, Striker. I—We need to do things differently. Repeating the same mistakes won’t make us win. ’ I sighed. ‘ And retreating like cowards will? ’ His wolf stepped forth, almost brushing against my shoulders. The heat of his body warmed my skin. I expected his fire
NORAI didn’t think it would be this easy to convince Levian to talk to me alone, and to let Striker really let me go. But, they both didn’t protest. I was stunned for a moment but then my gaze fell on Tyson who had turned his back to us. The surprise vanished. Worry took its place.What was he going through? There was no way of finding out. He wouldn’t tell anyone. He was the kind who liked to suffer alone.Sighing, I walked towards Levian. The crack in the ground still baffled me, but it was not as surprising as it was supposed to be. The ability felt natural and didn’t make me uncomfortable.Levian turned around when he saw me approaching. He led me towards the trees in the distance.‘ Careful. ’ Striker murmured in my head furiously.‘ Nothing will happen. You are right behind me. ’ I huffed.He grumbled but didn’t say anything.Levian stopped close to a tree and turned around all of a sudden. I paused, my brows lifting to my forehead.He raised his hand and waved it in the air.
