Prince Kurat I had called Mamma this morning to let her know Nari was going to pop in to visit . I felt a bit nervous as i hadn't told Nari about Psalm , the girl was so small and clearly loved Nari . If I am really honest I kinda wanted to keep her to myself for as long as possible . Mamma helped raise us as she was our Nanny , and the best choice for the orphanage when the position came up . Av spent most of the day dealing with the aftermath of a rogue attack at the southeastern border with Ratnik . My poor brother has been dealing with a lot and every time Pouli chucks a tantrum Ratnik is the one to have to take the hit . Sometimes I wish that Gideon, would return from his extended travels , help me with them . He’s never been one to be confined by his duty to his people . Gideon had actually been training with our Grandmother's coven . He had inherited our mothers witch side and been mage training for what should have been two years , ended up being almost four now . Gideon
NariI am still on a high when Kurat comes to collect me for dinner with his parents . He looks lost in his own thoughts , almost stressed with a scowl on his face . He still has his clothes on from this morning .“Kurat , are you ok?” I ask as I place my hand on his arm and offer him a smile . “Sorry , yes . Just stuff with my brothers . You look nice” he compliments me with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes . Looking down at the simple soft pink dress I smile my thanks as we leave my room . I can tell he’s miles away but I decided to try to lighten the mood . “Why didn't you tell me about the orphanage ?” I try in a cheery voice . Kurat stops and turns to me “If i tell you will you get mad ?” I look at him questionably with a smile . Taking a deep breath and putting his hand on his hip .“ Ok , I kinda wanted to keep you to myself for a bit longer . If you know I had that little girl moved here you would have spent time with her ''. He says with a bashful look on his face , l
Prince Kurat I am still reeling from what my father asked me or should I say told me to do . He told me of the unhappy phone call he had received from Shiva’s father , Alpha Vern . The Alpha was upset that his precious daughter felt ignored and pushed aside for in his words nothing more than a lowly omega whose mother didn't even want her . My beast was out for blood , now I had to pay attention to that she-wolf her assessing flirting made me feel disgust towards her chucking herself at me . The fact she felt she was automatically entitled to be my Luna as she was Alpha born . Now Alpha vern has the audacity to imply he will withdraw from his peace treaty with our pack , basically threatening us . I couldn't even speak to Nari on the way home last night as I was furious and my beast was giving me a headache wanting to rip free and search for the she-wolf or her father . After not being able to sleep for the rage that coursed through me at the thought of him or her . I was now expe
Prince Kurat Getting to the training grounds in record time I head for the female changing rooms in the hope to find her . Even though I know in my heart something is wrong . I am sitting on the steps when Ratnik arrives , clearly he had been on the border patrol as he only had shorts on . “What the hell is wrong?” Ratnik asks me with a concerned look on his face . Looking up at him “ Was Nari at training this morning ?” was all I said . “ Yes she did turn up late and seemed distracted.” Standing up I started pacing .“Did they mention anything about going anywhere ? Who was she with ?” I ask as my mind is going crazy . Ratnik looks confused as he watches his brother pace “ She was with that little she-wolf Nyx , they seemed to get on well .” He said with a frown “ Why ? What has happened ? Kurat.” Finally, Kurat turns to look at his brother . “ She’s missing Ratnik . Have you spoken to our father about that prick Varn .” Ratnik runs a hand down his face before he sits down on t
Nari24 hours earlier After waiting for Kurat past time for training I decided to head down . By the time I arrived everyone had started and I felt my face heating as I made my way to the back of the training area . Sometimes ignoring the comments and stares from the other girls can be hard especially when I am feeling slightly deflated . Shiva made the point in being extra loud this morning , telling Frah all about her date as she keeps referring to it went with Kurat . Gushing over how he was so attentive to her and her father approves and it is only time before they are to be a couple . Even though I am trying to ignore her and her incessant rambling, my heart is heavy with the thought it could be true . The fact I can't seem to find Kurat makes this all the harder to deal with . Just as training finishes Nyx comes over. “Are you ok Nari ?” I just give her a tight lipped smile and nod . “What are you doing after breakfast ? Would you like to go into town with me ?” Giving her
Nari As time slowly creeps on , I feel panic and dread seeping into me . I don't know what drug they gave me but my head hurts and I feel sick . I keep drifting in and out of consciousness , I have no idea where I am or why they have taken me . An image of Conrad appears in my mind and a chill creeps up my spine . He is pure evil , I have seen it with my own eyes and felt it at times . I am almost being taken by the darkness again when the sound of movement outside has my eyes shooting open again . My heart is beating erratically , my body has frozen . Who is it ? What do they want with me ? the questions that are swirling around my mind in anticipation of the door being opened . Trying to calm myself down I take a few deep breaths , that's when I notice there is more than one heart beat. Deep breaths Nari ; I encourage myself . Three there are three people outside the door to this room . I can hear muffled voices , one I recognise as Conrad but the others I am not sure of . The
Prince Kurat It has been two days since Nari went missing. I am sick of everyone saying she ran away . I know Nari would never leave me ; never . I haven't slept or eaten since she went missing , my beast is out for blood . He is unsettled , the only time he calms is if I sit in her room . Her scent is still strong there , I miss her . I know something bad has happened to her , she's still alive but I know she is in trouble . Today that fat ass hole of an Alpha is back to chat with my father about Shivia and me possibly getting married . Well that will never happen and I swear to our goddess I will pay him back for his threats and demands against my father and our kingdom . Who does he think he is making demands of? I have been avoiding the other females , even though I know for a fact that little bitch Nyx is lying to me about Nari . The only people who believe she never ran away are my mother and my brother Ratnik . My father is just looking tired and I know there is somethin
Prince Kurat “So , is someone going to tell me why our big brother is such a dick ?” Gideon asks as soon as he returns from settling Mystique in his room . Ratnik and I had been sitting in the private lounge drinking some of our fathers bourbon . The golden liquid was going down nicely . Ratnik stood up and poured Gideon a glass before joining us again . “So?” he pressed us . Letting out a deep sigh Ratnik starts with a frown . “ Brother , he has been getting worse . He honestly thinks he is the king already .” Gideon just nods as he takes a sip of his drink . “ So same old shit then” he says with a small laugh and a shake of his head . “ Still not allowing you to deal with the army and warriors?” he asks with a raised brow . “ Pretty much” Ratnik smirks while refilling our glasses . Gideon turns to me with a look I can't quite place . “ Mother told me about Nari brother , how are you holding up?” I just looked up, catching his eye . I am sure he can see the storm or pain
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
