AUTHOR’S POVWhoever it was was long gone by the time Odessa got there. She looked down at the broken vase pieces on the floor. The eavesdropper tried to pick it up but ended up getting pricked. Odessa ignored the blood on the ceramic and called a maid to clean up the pieces. “Do you think they heard much?” Sunitra asked, her eyes darting worriedly to the door. Odessa shrugged, “It doesn't matter. This charade has been going on for long enough.” Odessa might not show it, but she was worried as well. What exactly had the eavesdropper heard? The one about her being the King’s mate or of Sunitra carrying a baby? Whichever one it was, Odessa knew they had to tell the King so that a counterattack could be made, as each news was disastrous. “You stay here, I'll go speak to the King.” Sunitra nodded and watched her friend walk away. If everyone continues treating her like an egg, she won't be able to be Queen. She'll probably be stuck in her chambers daily, resting and doing as everyone
AUTHOR’S POVThe sound of clicking heels hitting the tiled marble floor echoed in the air, bouncing off the palace walls. The servants around stood to watch the two women walking towards them. Both were rushing, walking quickly but not without painting that perfect poise only a royal could do. It suddenly felt as if the world was created to accentuate their beauty and position. Their hair wasn't flying all around despite the breeze that flowed through them, instead they danced, bouncing off their back and flowing in the hair. Their beautiful gowns drifted against the floor; it was mesmerizing to watch them. On the other hand, Odessa and Sunitra had no idea what spell they'd casted on the people around them. The urgent matter they were taking to the King was the only thing on their mind. Sunitra tightly held the letter as they rushed towards the King’s office. He was beginning to spend a lot of his days there. The guards at the entrance watched the princesses approach them and quick
AUTHOR'S POV As the guard drove in, Odessa could see the contrasting difference between the Fae Kingdom and the Lycan Kingdom, and there were very few similarities between Sunitra’s Kingdom and hers. The Fae Kingdom was very…homely. It wasn't purely natural, and at the same time, it was. Everywhere looked like the definition of magic to Odessa. Light and warm, sparkly and shiny, pixie dust here and there. She gasped and pressed her face to the window when she saw tiny beings fly above them. “Sunitra! Look!! Are those tiny people?” Odessa pointed at the little being flying in the air. Sunitra chuckled at her best friend's amazement. “No, those are what the little kids call fairies.” The werewolf princess inhaled sharply, “They exist?” “Of course. From Fairies comes Fae. Fae’s control elements, Fairies, are beings of magic. They bring life to our castle.” Sunitra explained. “These fairies are not exactly people. Their real form is magic; they take this humanoid form for fun and t
AUTHOR’S POV“Zeenat, what are we doing here? The party is on the other side of the palace.” King Mazdaan sighed, staring at his youngest daughter. Zeenat knew her father wouldn't be able to say no to her; that's why she had volunteered to get him to come to the private hall with her when they saw Sunitra. “Don't worry, father. Just a little more time. I'm sure they’ll be–They’re here! Sister!!” Nadia rushed towards Sunitra, her arms spread wide, but Zeenat quickly stood before Sunitra, frowning at their little sister. “Slow down.” At the command of her elder sister, Nadia skidded to a halt just a few distances away from them and rushed towards them, Zeenat moving out of the way in time for Sunitra to catch her sister in her arms. “Sister! I've missed–Oh wow, you're so fat!” Sunitra scowled, “It's the dress.” While the three sisters bickered and teased each other, King Mazdaan stood there, all the color drained from his face. There was only one person Nadia called her sister, an
AUTHOR’S POVKaiden glanced at Mazdaan, and what he saw there made him understand that the latter knew his secret was out. However, he could only hope Sunitra was too blinded by love to realise it. Not that Kaiden was planning on staying quiet anyway. His eyes met Odessa’s, and his Queen looked just as confused as everyone else except Sunitra’s sisters. Those two seemed to gaze upon their sister with the saddest of eyes. Hakeem slowly stopped twirling Sunitra, gently placing her on his feet. They gazed into each other’s eyes, the love one felt for the other was reflected in the latter’s gaze. Their eyes shone with desire and affection, and Sunitra's eyes shimmered with tears. “Naia,” His deep voice that she'd loved over the years, now deeper than she remembered, whispered, his hot breath fanning her face as her cheeks turned red. His sweet nickname for her always made her blush no matter what, and it seemed to have the same effect. Hakeem 's eyes drifted down to her small lips coa
AUTHOR’S POVSunitra’s legs became weak, and she staggered, almost losing her balance, but Hakeem reacted quickly. He quickly caught her body in his arms, holding her tightly. Sunitra’s nose was attacked by the scent of Oud once again, and she looked up, her eyes meeting Hakeem’s. Her hands sought out the lapels of his royal coat, and she gripped it tightly; Hakeem’s veiny arm around her waist didn't loosen its hold on her. “Hakeem, she's…lying, isn't she? Why aren't you saying anything to defend yourself?”“Sunitra, I–” “You what?” She thundered, pushing him away from her with all the strength she had, sending both of them staggering in opposite directions. Nadia quickly caught her by her arm, helping her to regain her balance once more. Sunitra snatched her hand back from her sister. “Naia,” Hakeem’s voice urged in a soft tone, “Please listen to me.” “Why?” Sunitra chuckled dryly, “So that you can feed me more lies?” “No, I promise everything I'll be saying now is nothing but
The hall was bustling with the pack members, as they discussed among each other.Odessa stood at the extreme as she watched everything with a smile. Suddenly, everywhere became silent, someone had taken a spot on the podium.Odessa beamed as she recognized who the person was. It was the crown prince of the Supreme Sky Pack, and also her mate, Victor Valor.Victor's eyes swept over everyone present in the room, and he smiled, seeing that they were quiet, which was something he basked in.“Greetings, my pack members,” Victor greeted with a smile on his face.Odessa sat up straight on hearing his voice. “As you all know, today is my birthday,” he paused and there was loud cheering from the people, and he raised his hands to stop them from cheering.“Therefore, I have decided to present my Luna to you all,” he completed, and the applause this time was much louder than the previous one.Odessa's breathing turned rapid as she twisted her fingers a bit, her face flushed due to how excited s
“I need an explanation, why did you do it? Why did you decide to hurt me this way?” Odessa questioned.She impulsively hit his chest, pounding hard on it.Victor did not do anything, instead, he allowed her to do what she wanted. When he could not take the pounding on his chest anymore, he held her wrist, preventing her from continuing.She raised her head to look up at him, her eyes were glossy with tears, the ones she was trying to hold back from falling.“You do not beat a prince that way,” he muttered coldly, as he flung her away.She moved far away from him as a result of the force at which he used to fling her.She rubbed the spot on the wrist which he had held tightly, while she looked at him with heartache. Likewise, she could not understand why he changed.It was not this way, they even had fun last night, but it was an entirely different situation today.“I need to know, at least, I deserve an explanation from you, is that too much to ask from you?” Odessa's eyes had distres
