KALOYAN'S POV The valley was nothing I expected. We landed on an airstrip in the nearest city and set sail on a boat, captaining ourselves just fine. "This is incredible." Geoffrey muttered when we got on dry land at the harbour. Boats with masts of different sizes and of different shapes lined the edges, parked until when they were needed. Yachts were also present, but they had a reserved, elite spot separated from the others. There was a bridge ahead, roads rising above other roads underneath and cutting across water, spiral shaped or safe-straight. The Ardzith Valley took us to 2075, but without the flying cars. It seemed unreal. "How do they survive?" "They are united." General Roknan responded. Even a blind man could see the wariness stuck in his eyes. "A united magical force we shouldn’t underestimate." Seven days later, I tossed a crumpled paper at the wall in front of me. There were so many others scattered over the ground underneath my foldable seat. I had been lying

I treaded carefully deep inside the Arzdith forest, off the city. There was an animal in sight. A deer. It would serve as a good meal before I starved to death. At once, I aimed for it and killed, dislodging its head from its body. Aisling Beerhart was taking her sweet time. It had been two days already. Two days since they had taken my generals from me. I made a fire, roasting my breakfast and whiling away my life, but I had made a vow to my wife. I would bring her head back on a pyke. This was the only reason I stayed put, playing along with this madness. "I didn't think royalty knew how to do these things. The days are modern now." I heard a voice behind me after the first bite out of the juicy deer meat. My wolf was hungry, but we had a current problem. The attack at the motel made me learn the scent of powerful magic. It surrounded me now. "Tell me, how does one survive in the woods in these modern times?" "For your kind of man, I hoped I would find a servant at your beck an

CARA'S POV Nine days, and I hadn't heard from him. It didn't also help that Lord Ezra was back to the palace to continue being a pain in my neck. We couldn't breathe the same air without crossing each other and having an argument. Beta Reece, who didn't seem to like me before, was keen on defending me. I had given him an answer. I would be a part of the traitor's meet because I always want to know his next move. If the only way I could protect Kaloyan and his sons was by betraying him, I would do it. I just didn't know there was more. Traitors filled the Eastmoon palace. Each and every one of them wanted Kaloyan and his family dead. After a throne room meeting, they voted me in to preside over the king's council, even though I wasn't his Luna yet. Lord Ezra frowned at this, and surprisingly, Lord Henry, too. I walked through an upstairs portico, thinking about the faces of his Lords and elders as I sat interim on the throne. I was the queen of Eastmoon's humans. Leading by the be

My head spun in geometric circles. My stomach churned. I opened my eyes, coming face-to-face with a dimly lit room. The man Styker sat on a throne covered in animal skin. Big deer horns were attached to each end of the head rest. He drank wine, watching me with amused eyes. "Queen Athena. Your presence warms my throne room." He said, speaking like a drunk. I spat and glared at him from where I stood, hands bound in a chain rooted into the far ceiling above us. This was hell, and I still didn't know what the devil wanted from me. "Who are you?!" He frowned, thoughtful for a moment before taking another sip from his goblet. "I already told you my name." "It doesn't ring a bell—" The finger he raised while shaking his head stopped the words in my mouth. Confusion masked my face. I didn't understand anything happening now. Did he have the right person? "It should ring a bell, Athena. The fact that it doesn't, has me wanting to keep you here forever. It means you are not who you clai

KALOYAN'S POV Earlier... Aisling was dead. My brother just killed her. A druid witch dead in our presence wasn't the way to foster peace between werewolves and the valley. I had been trying to call a truce, but Joseph just ruined my chance. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He dropped her heart, cleaning her blood off his hands with his black handkerchief. "I heard you went to Arzdith Valley on a suicide mission amongst other things, brother." The Taigh. He knew what had gone down at the Eastmoon palace. It was the way he glanced at me with bone-chilling eyes before continuing wiping his hands and focusing on it, which made me aware. "Joseph, the Kaine house is a lot of work for one man. Don't you think you have better things to do?" He finished, meeting my eyes again. "It concerned me to know that my little brother might die. I was so worried about you." I scoffed, keeping my scowl at bay and not giving him the satisfaction to see that his words had gotten to me. "She wasn'

CARA'S POV I staggered once, holding onto the wall next to the door to stable myself. The man wearing the hat looked at me, and it was exactly the way I remembered it. I always wondered where that black hat had gone to when I came to the palace. I thought he had moved on from it now that he had become the Lycan King. But I thought wrong because he hadn't become the Lycan King. He never discarded his black hat. I mistook Kaloyan Kaine for the wrong monster. They were different people all along, but how? Edward Kaine only had one son. At least, that was what I knew. I knew of one Master Kaine. One heir to the Kaine house rulership. Master Kaine stood on his feet. He removed his hat and bowed to me. It was the first time I met his hair. In the past, I had never been chanced to, but my voice had run for its life. I shook like a tree leaf, scared to death in his presence. What if he could tell the difference? What if he would realise it immediately? "Queen, Athena. We've never met

Lord Ezra guffawed. He threw his head back, clutching his midriff, laughing. I felt moved to cut off his tongue and put an end to his mockery. But I had never cut off a man's body part before. I had never even killed a man. "You should have seen your face, Mrs. Kaine." He laughed harder again. The others had cleared out after this meeting ended. We didn't have an audience now. I faced my day one archnemesis with a raised chin. How delusional was he to think he could get away with this? "Lord Ezra, it's clear you enjoyed being suspended and away from the palace." "There's no Alpha here now to defend you." "I'm your Queen!" He laughed. "No. You are their queen. Not mine. Not ours. Eastmoon wolves still don't have a Luna yet, and I will have you know that I will stop at nothing to make sure my King sees your true colours." The Lord turned and left the throne room. His time away didn't make him repent or relent from making my life in the palace a living hell. It only sharpened his

The next morning, I couldn't eat. I couldn't even be with the twins. Damn Aisling for giving me that sliver of hope only to realise it had all been false. Druid queen, my ass. I used wipes on my face, cleaning off my tears and getting ready to leave my bedroom. I opened the door, and I found Lord Ezra standing right there with a smug smile on his face. "Mrs. Kaine." He gave a mock bow, even though he should have spared me the false formalities. I glared at him, wondering. To what did I owe this early morning surprise. "It's about the princes." My attention piqued. I stepped out of the room, wearing an unbuttoned flannel shirt over a white crop top and rugged jeans. I felt exhausted and out of my element, so I rebelled against 'the royal look' "You look interesting today." "Please, you are the last person I expect to hear about my looks from." We walked, and I was still curious. He had only baited me out of my room, using the princes. It was a solemn day at the Eastmoon palace.

I arrived at the Eastmoon palace a while later. The cab dropped me off and I wouldn’t be surprised if Miles was tailing me with how abruptly I had left the pack house. The guards at the entrance immediately recognized my face. “I have a message for the Lycan King from Xora, the moon goddess.”The moment they heard the moon goddess, they figured that I was here on important business and they let me into the palace. I didn’t walk, I ran for where I knew Kaloyan would be, his study.But just when I was about to climb up the stairs, the twins shouted my name, “Cara!”They screamed, rushing over to me and I hugged them back, ruffling their hairs although this loud welcome was not what I needed at all. “Where’s Shirley?” I whispered but it was too late.“Right here.” She surfaced at the top of the first landing on the grand staircase. “What are you doing here? Last I checked, the Lycan King had commanded you never to return.”“My business is not with Kaloyan. It is with you.” I glared at

“When is she going to get here?” I huffed and Miles rubbed a hand over my back, placating my impatient pregnant ass.We were receiving Ingrid at the airport. She had travelled to the North pack again and knew nothing about Xander’s arrest. “Just a little more. I know she’d come out next—“Miles hadn’t even finished talking when Ingrid surfaced with her many bags from the airport. I rushed for her, pulling her into a warm hug. “Ingrid!” I shrieked, “how are you, my darling?!”She hugged me tightly like we hadn’t seen each other in years which wasn’t exactly the fact. We helped her put her bags in the trunk, while we were in the car and she rode shotgun, she kept going on and on about her trip. “I can’t wait to see Xander. The last time I left things were pretty tense around here. Miles even had you locked up.” Ingrid’s eyes bulged as she realised she was touching a delicate subject.“It’s fine. He knows he made a grave mistake and is currently paying for it.”“Where’s Xander, Miles

I stopped breathing. He had run out and it was my fault because I had put that dagger in Joseph Kaine’s heart. I worried my bottom lip with my teeth, distraught.“You need to rest, Kal.” I held his arm, begging him to not dare leave me behind. He had to fight whatever this was, but I had seen what lacking Joseph’s blood did to him. I knew deep down that he was in grave danger. We had to do something fast. “I won’t die today.” He kissed my cheek tenderly. “Promise me you’ll show up for breakfast.”I thought about it for a second. Being at a table with Shirley made poop more inviting. Though I was eager to see Kal’s next move. Would he fight for whatever we have that we couldn’t seem to get over?“I promise.”He smiled at me, taking his time to let go of my hand until our fingertips parted. I smiled back and offered a tiny wave, wary of the hope I felt inside my heart. Kaloyan would choose me this time around. He had just made a mistake the last time. He just needed to see Shirley’s

I snatched the amulet from his neck while he fell lifeless on the ground. The mask wore off and Miles began to understand what was happening.“What were you thinking, Cara?! That was too dangerous—“I wore the amulet and breathed in power. It coursed through me. Miles stopped in his tracks because he could see it too, what was currently happening. I was becoming one with the gods item. And this had not happened before. “Cara,” he muttered.And I smiled, chest rising and falling hard as I declared, “It’s finally mine, Miles. I’m the rightful Queen of Arzdith Valley and Salems power flows through me!”“No!” Our head snapped to the piercing scream we heard. Reagan bounded over. She slid to the ground at Joseph’s side, shaky hands holding him close. It was weird seeing her this way.I didn’t know evil was capable of loving someone, but I guess it was true. In their own twisted way, they had loved each other. The rest of the protectors and the black guards and Dax’s army dashed over, so
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 129: Darkness Has Become Whole
The moon goddess was right. I was in the wrong place. The back of the line was not meant for me. I should be looking for Joseph Kaine and cutting deep into his throat. If it was Reagan I found first, even better. I grabbed a sun sword from the ground. The black guard that had been carrying it was dead on the floor. His green eyes were open and lifeless. I said a prayer for his soul as I stepped over him.“Argh!” I screamed, fighting with all my might and casting the fire spell which consumed the blade of my sword. I was slashing through demons at a rate of knots. The fire was destabilising them, giving me the advantage of speed when it should have been the other way around. At the back of my mind, I knew there was something I had to do. Who led the demon army? That question was yet to be answered. I had seen Joseph, Xander and Reagan conniving at the Silver Eye pack, but it seemed I had missed out on the last piece in the band of evils. Two demons came at me. I used my eyes to con

Kaloyan and Miles got down, followed by Sky. I stayed in the backseat, holding the twins close as they approached the cloaked figure. The streets were dark and lonely. There was mist floating in the path ahead of us. A chill coursed through my spine. I didn’t want any more danger. I needed a breather. A moment with my family again—even though, technically, they were no longer mine. When I saw the three of them bowing to the cloaked figure, curiosity had me getting down from the car. I put Jared in charge. He was more mischievous than his brother, but Jardran could never control Jared.“Kal, what’s going on?”I gasped and lost a step when I saw the face underneath the hood. She was as magnificent as Reagan was back in the Silver Eye pack. I gaped at her glittering pale skin and blue eyes. There was no doubt who this was. The one whom only the six protectors were given the luxury of speaking to face-to-face.“Oh my God, you’re Xora. The moon…the moon goddess.” I bowed my head so low
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 127: Fight For Us
I gulped, freezing for a long moment. There were a thousand and one ways this could go, but neither were about me escaping this unscathed. Reagan was here because he knew. “How did you know?” I sighed, pulling the mask off and switching back to myself.“I dated you. And even though you don't believe a word I'm saying, I loved you once—”“People who love me die, Xander. Stop lying to yourself.”He rolled his eyes and stepped forward to cuff my hands. “Either way, it was easy to tell that you were not my cousin. You escaped. There was only one place Cara would go and that would be to the Order, just to convince Miles that your Lycan King is innocent. Am I wrong?”I said nothing, just staring at the traitor he chose to serve. The evil that would be upon all of us soon. I had to think of a way to save the twins, but I could only come up with a miracle.“So you knew from the moment he texted you that this was going to be a trap?” I gaped at him. “Miles already suspected me the day he lock
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 126: The Enemy's Den
CARA’S POVI headed out to meet Xander while wearing Miles’s face. It was highly dangerous because this could be a trap, but I could get to see the twins again and stall him from harming them. That was all that mattered. I drove his fast car, reminiscing the night of the accident when Athena died. It always flashed back to me whenever I sat in a car, but I had gotten used to the memories and the sadness that overtook me.There was a GPS tracker on the car. I carried his cellphone because everything had to be right. Xander couldn’t suspect a thing until we had him fooled. The Silver Eye pack laboratory was close. As I neared it, I said a silent prayer to Xora, begging her to save us all this once. I would protect the twins better if we got out of this mess. “Xander,” I called in a baritone Miles would use when I went down the stairs, leading into the underground laboratory.“You’ve always hated coming here.” His voice came behind me and I snapped my neck to him.He was right there,
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 125: Please Don’t Go
KALOYAN'S POVI moved closer to where they stood because I couldn’t keep myself far away from them any longer. I hated the way this wolf looked at Cara. Those eyes of his. I knew what it meant.He was in love with mine. I had no claim over Cara after everything that had happened, but I couldn’t help myself. My wolf still craved her. Her scent still drove me wild. I wished there was a way she would forgive me for the wrong choices I had made. But I wasn't yet out of those wrong choices. Shirley was my mate now.Miles glanced at me and stopped talking, turning away and leading us to where the rest of the Scarlet Order were settled. I walked paces behind Cara, not wanting to invade her personal space, even though my wolf was hungry to feed on her scent. Once we entered the camp, all four of them stood on their feet, their razor sharp gazes pinned on me, the enemy. Miles Kovani seemed to be crossing the line here with my presence.“What is the Lycan King doing here, Commander?” “Sky
