Royal's POV As if on cue the Alpha's phone call came in and Beta Simon answered before excusing himself for a few minutes. What was this urgent matter that required Beta Simon's immediate attention? What did it mean for me and my place within the pack? The unanswered questions swirled in my mind, and as I sat there in the empty dining hall, a sense of foreboding settled upon me. I knew that whatever lay ahead would be a turning point, a pivotal moment that could change everything. And so, I was left alone, my thoughts racing and my heart pounding, awaiting the resolution of the unknown and the unfolding of the path that lay before me. Minutes felt like an eternity as I sat there, my mind filled with anticipation and uncertainty. Finally, Beta Simon returned, a faint look of concern etched upon his face. He took his seat once again, his demeanor slightly altered. "Apologies for the interruption," Beta Simon said, his voice tinged with a touch of urgency. "There's been a development
Royal's POVThe weight of Beta Simon's words hung heavy in the air, pressing down on me like a suffocating blanket. The truth, brutal and unforgiving, had been laid bare before me, and I was left to grapple with the ramifications of my choices.The mention of my family and coven sent a fresh wave of grief crashing over me. The pain of their loss still felt raw, their absence a constant ache in my heart. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision, but I fought against them. I couldn't allow myself to be consumed by sorrow, not when there were still unanswered questions and a dangerous path stretching out before me."Thank you, Beta Simon," I finally managed to say, my voice shaky but determined. "I appreciate your offer to help me leave, but I cannot."Beta Simon's eyes bore into mine, searching for any trace of doubt or hesitation. Finding none, he nodded solemnly. "Very well," he said, his voice laced with respect. "But know that this will not be an easy path. The Alpha is cunn
Royal's POV My heart pounded in my chest as a surge of fear gripped me. The Alpha's words echoed in my mind, each syllable carrying a sinister weight. I couldn't ignore the possibility that he might indeed be referring to me, that my decision to help Ryan after he kidnapped me had sealed my fate. The realization hit me like a tidal wave, leaving me gasping for breath.Tears welled up in my eyes as a myriad of emotions washed over me. Betrayal, fear, anger, and regret swirled together, creating a tempest within my soul.How could I have been so foolish? I had thought I was strong enough to face the consequences of my actions, but now I found myself at the mercy of a ruthless Alpha that I thought cared about me.With trembling hands, I clutched at the locket around my neck, I thought of it as a talisman of protection passed down through generations of witches even though it wasn't. Its surface felt cool against my skin, providing a sliver of comfort in this moment of uncertainty. I ha
Royal's POVBefore I knew it, the woman disappeared into a gust of wind and I screamed, "Ahhhh."Startled by the sudden disappearance of the woman, I turned around to face the Alpha, confusion etched across my face. His urgent tone indicated that he knew something I didn't, and I strained to make sense of his warning. Without waiting any longer, I ran into his arms, forgetting that he almost threatened my kind."What... what just happened?" I stammered, my heart pounding in my chest.The Alpha hugged me, his expression grave. "That woman, she's not to be trusted," he cautioned, his voice laced with concern. "She's a shape-shifting witch who preys on unsuspecting individuals. I've encountered her kind before. That's why we trapped her here and forbade anyone from coming here. She probably didn't hurt you because of your witch blood."My mind reeled with the revelation. The relief I had felt moments ago evaporated, replaced by a sense of vulnerability and unease. How could I have been s
Royal's POV The Alpha's gaze shifted between Feina and me, a mix of emotions swirling in his eyes. He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before addressing Feina's question."Feina, this is Royal," he began, his voice steady. "She's a halfling who I have taken interest in."Although his reply wasn't what I wanted, I was glad with what I heard so I decided to take my leave. "Alpha, I think it's best I leave. You should settle things with her in private, away from nosey eyes and tongues." I said not wanting them to attract many eyes since we were on the ground floor where people were crowded. "You may leave," he said with a smile and I bowed before leaving. As I almost entered the elevator I hear Feina's voice, "Stop!" I turned to face her, "Yes Miss Feina?" I said giving her the respect she deserved as the finance of our Alpha."Did I ask you to leave?" She roared and I shuddered from the authority used. Sensing my uneasiness, the Alpha roared, "Feina stop! Royal, you may l
Royal's POV The incident had caught me off guard, and I couldn't fathom why Feina would order the pack members to deny me food. I couldn't comprehend what just happened.I wanted to meet the Alpha or Beta and tell them what happened but I shrugged it off and decided not to. If it happens again after a few days then I'd let them know. It seemed like another hurdle to overcome in my journey within the pack. With determination in my step, I made my way to the pack's general store. The shelves were stocked with various food items, from fresh produce to canned goods. I picked out a selection of items that would sustain me for the coming days, mindful of maintaining a balanced diet.At the counter, I exchanged pleasantries with the pack member working there. She looked at me curiously, noticing my lack of a meal from the dining hall. She finally asked, "Miss, why are you stocking on so much food?” "I just want to try some new foods,” I lied as I decided to keep the incident to myself for
Chase's POVI went in and grabbed her lips for a needy kiss, my hands holding her waist. "Mmh," Royal moaned, savoring the taste of my lips. As we french kissed, our tongues played and danced with each other, while my hands formerly on her waist found their way under her top, the right hand grazing her back, while the left cupped her breasts.I pulled out from the kiss, staring at her beautiful eyes and I grabbed her top then pulled it off of her body, revealing her breasts covered by the bra I unhooked earlier."So pretty!" I groaned as I stared at her milky white tits with pink nipples staring at me, calling me to worship them. Heeding their call, I gently removed the bra straps hanging on their shoulders, tossing the bra across the room. I stared at the lovely breasts, my imagination going wild, then I latched my mouth on one of them, flickering my tongue on her sensitive nipples."Mmh, Alpha, Ahh," she moaned and she tilted her head back with her eyes closed, her right hand pu
Chase's POV Feina entered the room with a determined stride, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and possessiveness. She was a striking woman, her features sharp and her presence commanding. Her gaze flickered between Royal and me, her lips curling into a cold smile."Alpha Chase," Feina greeted, her voice laced with a thinly veiled threat. "I see you've been entertaining yourself in my absence." She said as she looked at Royal with eyes filled with disgust.I met her gaze, undeterred by her attempt at intimidation. "Feina, I am the Alpha here. I am free to seek pleasure wherever and whenever I choose."Her smile widened, revealing a hint of malice. "Indeed, Alpha. But remember, I am your chosen mate. The one you vowed to honor and protect."I tightened my grip on Royal's waist, a silent message that I was not one to be controlled. "Feina, you may be my chosen mate, but that does not mean I am bound to you in every aspect of my life. Royal is a member of our pack, and she holds her o
