Hope you have enjoyed the Ball . This chapter is a bit shorter but i wanted to get Nari's POV done . :) MMxx
Unknown I had to travel almost eight hours to get to this kingdom from mine . I only accepted the invitation to help my brother out , I hate social events . This is as pretentious as they come , I guess it is the first of the princes to find their Mate’s . I haven't met the young lady in question yet . If rumours are true she was an orphan they found in a pack orphanage . My Lycan has been annoying the life out of me all night , something is pissing him off . I keep looking about trying to catch anything that might be the cause of his irritation . I haven’t been in this kingdom for almost seventeen years , just before my brother closed the gates to our kingdom . He became a shut-in , he searched for years for the witch that caused him the greatest heartache of his life . She tricked him into thinking she was his mate , she was good at fooling people . Especially my poor brother, his Lycan almost died , he's only in his mind now , he cant shift anymore . His people don't know
Prince Gideon The minute our hands touched i saw her link to Nari , i saw what she was but as quickly as i managed to get the insight to her she blocked me . What I do know is nothing good can come of her being here .She is dark and succubus is one of the worst kinds of creatures especially as her aura is dark even if she tries to hide it .What I didn't expect was my little panther to lose her temper . I have been trying to keep her as private as possible , if her father finds her before we can figure stuff out it won't be good . The shield Myst put up was not even half her power but the moment she spat these words at the succubus , I watched her flinch .She knew she didn't have the power to take on Myst . I swear the pride in me has my Lycan standing up with his chest puffed out in pride . I can't help but smile at her show of power , this tiny female has just shown herself for me .For my family , the minute she leans into me she melts and i can hear her beast purring . I was gla
Nari I hardly slept last night. Once Kurat had gone to sleep I tossed and turned until the sun came up, my mind was going crazy with the turn of events . Who was this woman? and what connection to me could she be to me? , I felt it my Lycan felt it . Even so my Lycan did not like her or wanted anything to do with her . Now I am sitting around the breakfast table with the whole family waiting on the maids to finish serving us before we speak . Kurat leans in and kisses my bare shoulder and i have to muffle a moan , fuck this man is driving me crazy . I hear my Lycan chuckling in my head . My mate has a smug look on his stupidly handsome face . I was trying to relax and get lost in my mate's touch when the King cleared his throat and nodded at his wife . She mumbled a few words, her eyes glowed for a quick second then she informed us the room was now secure . She was the picture of elegance , as she looked at her family with such love . “ Ok , so everyone is aware of the strange sit
NariI could feel the nervousness coming off her as she followed us to the garden , Mama had taken my arm and linked with hers for that i was seriously grateful . I don't want to be anywhere near Shiva or this woman and the Queen was keeping me safe in her own way . Shiva is skulking behind us with a pout and frown all at the same time . The garden is beautiful , this is the Queen's private garden that she likes to tend toThe herself . The flowers are all out in bloom and they smell amazing the moment you step into it , there is a large water fountain in the middle of the garden . The fountain is beautiful with two wolves howling towards the moon . There is a table set up to the side with small pastries and a pot of tea , the maid was just finishing setting it up . “Thank you Anna , that will be all” The Queen says as we all take a seat , i sit beside Mama as far from the others as possible . “Please help yourself to some of these lovely pastries , they are fresh” The Queen says a
King TynanI can't stand this Alpha but I am not stupid enough to directly insult him , I haven't been well respected for so long for no reason . His air of self importance is almost laughable , but I will keep my thoughts to myself for now . Gideo sits quietly observing Varn . The whole problem with this is he has the money and manpower to go to war with us and I must put my pack first . My mate on the other hand has an almighty temper and her protectiveness towards her pups is fierce . She is also extremely powerful and stopping her from unleashing hell on people was a job on its own . She has become extremely attached to Nari and I know nothing good can come from her tea in the garden . She was there the day they found the poor girl after she was taken . Her Lycan has linked Nari in with the boys as hers . Nari’s Lycan is young but almost the same height as Kurats , but the white of her fur of her Lycan is unusual and I am sure I have seen one many many years ago before I was
King EzekielI haven't left my kingdom for so long. I don't even remember where I went . My brother has attended most social events for me , he tries to keep relations between the other kingdoms open . He was at Tynan’s last night. Tynan and I did our training together and we got on quite well . My brother will be home today at some point. I am sure he will fill me in on everything , not that I am interested if I am honest . My Lycan is slowly dying , I have not shifted for over fifteen years . The last time I shifted he almost killed my brother . You see I searched high and low for my Luna Queen , when I failed I found comfort with a beautiful woman . She was everything to me but wouldn't allow me to mark her for some reason . When she fell pregnant with my pup and heir I was over the moon . My Lycan started to become slightly feral the longer our relationship went on and when she gave birth to the tiniest most stunning baby girl I was over the moon . Within a month I noticed the
Prince Kurat It's been three days since father informed us he intends to remove Varn from his Alpha title . I still do not understand how his bitch daughter , the succubus and the pathetic Alpha managed to get aways without anyone even noticing . My Lycan has been on edge not wanting Nari to leave our side . I know she says it’s ok and she loves being with me but the truth is until they catch them my Lycan and I will not feel she is safe . Do not get me wrong i am in no doubt her Lycan would protect her but as her mate its hard . My mother is on edge and that in itself is unsettling especially since she is one of the most powerful mages of our time . I haven't slept right for days now , I just watch her sleep . Cuddle her when she has a nightmare whisper telling her she’s safe . Each night my anger grows at those who have hurt her, my darkness growing my need for vengeance in her name . I want her to feel safe to walk among our people without being stalked , kidnapped or wors
King Tynan I was curious as to why Ezekiel was wanting an actual audience with my Luna , Kurat , Nari and myself in private . Don't get me wrong I am seriously looking forward to seeing my old buddy but why after all this time ? and why with the young couple ? I had become extremely protective of Nari since the day she stood up to my son and slapped his arrogant face for being rude . I smile to myself as the memory of his stunned face pops into my head . “Penny for your thoughts my King?” Eulalie whispers in my ear as she wraps her arms around me from behind as I sit in my chair . Smiling and enjoying the sparks that fizzle over our skin as she hugs me . Before I can answer her a knock comes from the door . Kissing her cheek I call enter and move back so my Queen can sit on my lap . One of my guards opens the door and steps aside allowing King Ezekiel and Prince Kendrick to enter . Standing up, my Queen and I greet them with a friendly hand shake and quick bro hug . If I am ho
EpilogueNariAs I stand and look at myself in the full length mirror I know it’s me but the change in me is unbelievable. I have curves, my eyes are bright and my skin holds a glow it never had before. Having the baby took its toll on my body, Arculus was a big lad. I can't help but smile when I think of my boy, he is getting more like his father everyday. Thinking of his father causes butterflies in my tummy, at times I still can't believe I am mated to the dark prince himself. My Kurat, who would have thought that the same guy who I slapped is the same man I now can’t live without.My hair has grown a bit, it’s now long enough for an updo. My tiara sits tucked into my fancy updo, my father told me this was the very tiara my Grandmother wore for her coronation, the same Grandmother who died trying to save me. Reaching up I touch the beautifully designed crown that sits atop my head, I wonder as my fingers graze the emerald stones if she would be proud of how I grew up? I wish I cou
KuratWe have had so many strange things happening since Gideon left, our borders have been getting hit. Someone is clearly looking for the weakest point. Kendrik and I have been running the fence line together at night before bed. However this is the first time they have managed to breach the wards my mother and Mystique had put in place. The minute the pack alarms sounded I knew this was going to be a nightmare, but keeping my mate and kids safe is all that matters.I am so glad Ratnik is now here, he is one of the best Generals of our time, his hand to hand combat is amazing. Saying goodbye to Nari was hard but I know both our fathers are with them and my mother is incredibly strong and will protect them.I have been shouting orders through the pack-link to our warriors, shifting into my Lycan as we get a mile from the border. The air changes and my Lycan starts to growl, the pack-link goes quiet. Turning from side to side I realise both my brother and Kendrick are in their Lycan b
NariNo, No, no this can't be happening I think as the baby starts to cry clearly being woken by the alarm. My room door bursts open and the girls rush in with wide eyes “Nari, what's happening?” Hada screams as Psalm and she clings to my legs.“Hey, don't panic, we will find out what's going on” I tell them hoping I sound braver than I actually felt. The knock at the door comes as a guard shouts “Princess Nari, we must take you to the bunker at the King's orders” He calls through the door.“Get the door please, Hada” I say as I scoop up the now screaming Arculus and head to the now open door and two guards that are waiting. Gavin, my normal guard stands and I hand him my baby as I take Psalm in my arms and follow them down the stairs.We met my father, and Kurt's parents at the bottom of the stairs. Mama takes the baby and Tynan takes Hada and we follow my father to the back of the palace where the bunker is located. Trying Kurat again I am met with silence and my worry is hitting a
NariIt's been almost two months since Arculus was born, he is such a good baby and the joy he brings to the palace is unbelievable. The girls have been amazing with him, Hada is a proper little mother with him. Psalm is the cutest, I find her talking to him when she thinks no one is looking.My father has surprised me with being so hands on with him. He refers to himself as Pop Pop. He likes to take the baby walks in his pram around the gardens so I can get some rest or do some more training. Mystique and Gideon left about ten days ago, seemingly they have a lot to prepare for. My heart goes out to my best friend. She has so much to do before facing her father. I know she is powerful, but the fear in her eyes will never leave me.Kurats parents are arriving back this afternoon with Ratnik. We need to arrange the Royal offering, this is much like the human version of a christening. We offer up our young to Selene and pray for their safe journey through life until she welcomes them bac
MystiqueThe minute the little king was born I felt it, the power, the connection, the prophecy has been put into motion. Gideon felt it, we both woke at the same time. I have known for a long time what was expected of me, what my father tried to stop from happening.The second Arculus was placed into my arms, the twines of fate were already at work. The power coming off this little bundle of pure joy was stronger than even mine. His aura was strong with the same purple glow of his mother.He is the first of the four, the king to the north. This means if we go by the Prophecy the king to the south is next to be born. Judging by what Bastet told Nari the date has been chosen, that also means he knows where I am.The day Gideon stumbled into our Tribe I knew he was mine, that the Goddess’ had got together and somehow decided to save me from the life of hell I had lived since the day I was born.Gideon was powerful, he intrigued my father. That's why he allowed him to stay on our lands, t
NariArculus, or the little king as everyone calls him is such a good baby. He was born at a whoopin 12 lbs 4oz. He is the image of his father, except this white stripe through his hair. I just love him, I am still in my baby bubble.I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone about the visit from the Goddess. I feel like I really need to tell Mama, she is the one person who knows so much about magic and everything to do with it but I feel like there is something she isnt telling me but i'll talk to her when we are alone.I have been breastfeeding but if I am really honest, I don't think I have enough milk. My son is a big boy, a big hungry boy just like his father. Speaking of his father, Kurat should be home soon. I just lay the pup down when a knock at the door has him wake back up; fuck.Cradling my son to me I go to the door, pulling it open. I almost cry at the sight of my best friend. “Mystique! Oh my, I can’t believe you're here. How did you?” I grip my bestie with one arm as I
Queen EulalieSince the moment Tynan and I arrived in the northern Kingdom we have both been busy. Tynan has been working with Ezekiel and Kurat, while I have been fussing over Nari. My first grandchild is giving his poor mother a hard time.The first time I saw her when we arrived I was shocked at how big she was, her tiny frame. I spoke to her doctor the second day I got here, they honestly don't think she will be able to deliver the baby naturally. In true Nari style she is determined to try.Three days ago while I was checking on Nari, she was sleeping so I was quietly tidying around their room when a small tug, at my magic. It was him, my first grandchild, he has magic and because it’s the same as mine it was drawing it from me.I couldn't stop myself from smiling, he recognised me by our family bonded magic. He is a strong little mage like his uncle Gideon. Gideon started like this, little tugs on my magic. His brothers hold a little but Gideon is powerful, more than he even real
NariPoor Kurat is a mass of nerves, since I was put on bedrest. He has refused to leave the immediate grounds or be any further than ten minutes away. We have just arrived at the hospital, Mama is dealing with my stressed out mate. I am in pain but I also know my Lycan is taking the brunt of it. Getting taken to the delivery suite I was seriously shocked at the changes that has been made. I look at the nurse, she just smiles at me “Your father, your majesty” She says. I just smile and allow her to help me get changed into my gown ready for the little king’s arrival.I can't help but smile at my mother-in-law when she winks at me from behind her son. Kurat takes the seat at the side of me, taking my hand. The pain is coming every few seconds, I am working through my breathing.Within ten minutes I was ready to push, the doctor had checked and I was now fully dilated ready to push. Even with my Lycan taking the brunt of the pain I was really starting to struggle. The need to push was
Prince KuratNari was put on bed rest last week as she is massive and our pup is due any day now. My parents have been here for the past week, my mother has been fussing over Nari. My Father has been working on creating a stronger alliance with Ezekiel, It goes without saying that we have each other's back but for the sake of the elders they are having it all documented. I won’t lie, I am terrified of the thought of our pup being here, just as much as I am excited. I watch Nari take everything that has come her way and she never moans, or feels sorry for herself. And when I say she's huge; I mean she is massive.I have settled into my life here, Ezekiel is a great teacher. He has taken me under his wing showing me all the way this kingdom works. I think he is more excited about the pup’s arrival than anyone else.The girls have settled into the school, they have mixed age classes so they don't have to be separated. This helps as they really don't like to be apart. They have been help
