ODESSA’S POV

I sat on one of the swings, a cup of chilled orange juice in my hand as I stared into thin air. My mind replaying the memories of my reaction to Kaiden’s proposal.

***

I stood frozen for heaven knows how long, staring at the ring in Kaiden’s hands. This has to be a dream…why…why would Kaiden suddenly propose to me out of the blue?

As I stared at the ring, knowing what it symbolizes, my nightmare plays and replays all over again in my head. What do I do?...What…

“Odessa, are you okay? You're shaking.” Kaiden shot to his feet, his palms cradling my face as he spoke. He tilted my head to look up at him and when he saw the tears glazing my eyes, he panicked. “What happened, Baby? Talk to me.”

“I…I…” I couldn't speak out as there was a thick lump inside my throat, I shook my head vigorously, “Excuse me.”

I moved away from him, running out of the bedroom and heading towards mine. I shut the door to my bedroom behind me as I noticed that I was getting agitated and unable to ca

    ODESSA’S POVMy hands quivered as I stared at the nite, the maze box fell to the floor when my grip around it loosened. My head snapped up, looking around me as the feeling of being watched suddenly enveloped me. It felt like I had eyes on me from everywhere. I have to see Kaiden! “Evelyn, Hugo, I'll be back.” I whispered, making eye contact with them to know that they heard me. Thank goddess for super hearing. I bent down to pick the box and literally bolted through the pack towards the palace, which is a silly ass thing to do, as it would gain the attention of everyone in the surrounding area and open the door for dangerous rumors, but did I care? No. All I wanted at that moment was to see my mate and my father. It was very early in the afternoon and I had no idea where Kaiden would be at that moment. I mentally facepalmed myself as I realized that I should have headed to his office instead. Makes more sense that he would be there by this time of the day. ‘Kaiden…Kaiden…’ I sig

    ODESSA’S POVWilla had no choice but to put Kaiden on the phone. The King was not very happy about the fact that I'd been told to wait after telling both his secretary and his receptionist that it was an urgent matter. He gave me his floor number and I didn't wait to hear the scolding Willa received for her bitchiness. The secretary on the other hand….It better not be what I'm thinking it is. When I got to the elevator, I noticed one more floor above the floor number Kaiden had given me and I paused. Isn't it common knowledge that the top boss has the highest floor? I shrugged and pressed the 5th floor. As soon as I arrived, the first thing I saw was the large cubicle which I assumed belonged to his secretary, although it was empty. My head snapped forward when something caught my attention, a lady dressed in a very revealing white V-neck top and a black skirt that I know has the capacity of going below her knees but by some miraculous effort, stopped a few inches away from the top

    ODESSA’S POV“I knew I'd find you here.” I turned and saw my father walking up the stairs in his thick royal robe, his shoulder-length hair dancing in the wind as he walked with his hands linked behind his back. I quickly stood to my feet and walked around the swing. “Father,” I curtsied but his hands grabbed my shoulder, stopping my bow half-way. “Did you want to see me for something important?” “No, I just wanted to spend time with you but you weren't in your bedroom. I knew I'd find you here, gazing into nothingness. Are you sure you're okay, My Princess?” My father asked, his narrowed gaze staring at me with suspicion. I plastered on a fake smile, “Of course I am.” “I think it's best you stop smiling for now, it makes you look even more miserable.” My dad chuckled when I instantly schooled my face into a frown. I turned to watch him sit on the long bench positioned in front of the swing. “Come, sit.” I nodded and went to his side to take my seat. “I understand if you don't

    ODESSA’S POV“King Mazdaan…killed my mother?” My voice broke at the end as I waited for my dad to explain. “No, he didn't kill her directly but he was the reason.” My dad sighed, his shoulders falling as he leaned against the bench. “Your mother was originally meant to be the ruler of Salem-Zul as the first born, but a lot of people disagreed with the King, urging him to crown Mazdaan as his heir instead. The King refused and went ahead to crown Malika because she was Marid, a jinn with the ability to control all elements, just like her father who was the King of Salem-Zul at the time.” “So a Marid is always chosen as the heir? What if none of them is a Marid?” I asked. “Then the King chooses or a test will be given to the heirs and whoever wins will be crowned King or Queen. Your mother on the hand has no competition but because the Marid was a female, a lot of people had an issue with it. To bring peace, your mother sacrificed her title and allowed Mazdaan to give her up as peace

    ODESSA’S POVTWO WEEKS LATER. “Father, you summoned me.” My voice echoed as I strode into the courtroom, my gaze fixed on my father who was seated at the head of the table long enough to fit 50 people on both sides altogether. “Amira,” My dad said with a smile as he beckoned on me to move closer to him. Ever since my father had told me about my mother, he'd been calling me Amira more often. It made me smile everytime because it was beautiful. Knowing my dad was finally getting over my mom’s death made me feel happy within me. I sat beside him and took the letter he stretched out towards me. I stared at the scroll cautiously before stretching out to read what was written in it.The first thing I noticed was the wolf seal on it. Lycan realm?...I looked up at my father with pure confusion, but all he did was gesture towards the scroll. My gaze drifted across the lines of the handwritten command, an handwriting I was all too familiar with. I had to re-read the lines again because a

    ODESSA’S POVMy dad paused and liked at Kaiden, clearly wondering what the King wanted with me. “If this is about King–”“Don't worry King Odesseus, I just want to catch up with your daughter. She’d been living in my palace few months ago, it's normal for me to want to talk to her. I'm not scolding her, I promise.” Upon hearing Kaiden’s words, my father visibly relaxed before he bowed to Kaiden and nudged me towards the King before walking away. Kaiden and I stood in our respective positions until the entire room was cleared out. “Kai–woah!” I exclaimed as the King held my hand and pulled me towards another exit of the room. We came out through a hallway that I'd never seen before, there wasn't a single soul there at all. As we progressed, the hallway began to look more familiar and I realized that we were heading to Kaiden’s bedroom. I tried tugging my hand out of his grip but the King wouldn't budge, he continued pulling me until we were standing right at his door. He turned the

A deep purr rose within him, vibrating against my body as I moved down to claim his lips. “If you hadn't fallen asleep, I would have taken control and fucked you against that wall, pounding you hard until everyone knows who the fuck you belong to.” Kieran growled against my lips and I chuckled. “Really? What stopped you then? You should have fucked me back to consciousness.” His nostrils flared as I breathed in deeply, “Don't say such words to me, mate. I'm not as patient as Kaiden.” “Sorry,” I whispered, looking down and he sighed, pecking my lips over and over again until it turned into a full blown kiss. “Don't leave, or I'm not going to make things easy for Kaiden. Yes, it's a threat.” He whispered as he kissed me deeply ag

My father was calling me over to his side, several golden trays of different meals were being passed around, light music drifted in the air as some dancers entertained the guests. All through the banquet, my gaze would drift to Kaiden’s only to find him already staring at me. The King wasn't even hiding it, he was blatantly ogling me with his eyes. “So, remember your promise, you have to introduce that man to me tonight.” My father leaned over to my side and whispered. “Seriously? Are you never going to let it go?” I asked, giving him my side eye. “Not until I see him.” My dad grinned and scooped some sauce with his hot steaming crab fish. I shook my head and looked down at the covered tray in front of me. My stomach grumbled in hunger and I uncovered the tray. Right there, my favourite foods were staring at me, slices of rolled potato and banana pancake with omelette

She couldn't help but still feel anxious and scared even though she was safely hidden in the cocoon of her kingdom. She had opened up to her father about her vision, and King Odesseus had increased his security, putting four guards on the princess and a shadow that followed her about in secret.“I don't think you'll feel safe until your mate is by your side.” King Odesseus said as he stared at his daughter. She was extra fidgety and always looking around. “Well, he's on the other side of the world, probably fighting a war right now.” Odessa sighed as she nibbled on a soft cookie absentmindedly. Thoughts of her mate’s well-being always managed to keep her preoccupied.“If he can help it, I'm sure he’ll be back before you know it. Just focus on yourself and your baby right now.

    AUTHOR’S POVKaiden walked into the palace the next day, at midnight. He’d spent so much time today at the pack, erecting more buildings, visiting the new site for the second pack house construction, and checking the conditions of the industries and factories. It had taken most of his time, but it was worth it. When he went back into his office, his guard had delivered a message from Dokrado. On reading it, King Xarson told him about the rogue spotting close to the border. Just last night, the rogues attacked, but thankfully, they managed to hold out fine. Although Xarson expressed his concern about the rogues and his suspicion that they'd decided to stay at the border, he implored Kaiden to ride down to Dokrado and check out the situation. King Kaiden was a bit skeptical about the whole incident. Why would the rogues go as far as attacking the Dragon realm? Kaiden was sure that the letter wasn't a fake; it had Dokrado’s seal and Xarson’s blood print. The King sighed and placed his

    AUTHOR’S POVMe?... Odessa thought to herself. “That doesn't make any sense. Why would the king stop you from telling me?” Odessa asked; her confusion was very evident in her voice, and Hansel was quick to clear it up. “He didn't mention your name, per se. There's no way he would have known about you then, or that the prince would go to your realm some years later. He just told everyone not to mention the Queen in front of any stranger coming into the realm, or the future Queen of the realm, which implies you.” “Oh, okay…” Odessa nodded. Now the questions she wanted answers to would never be answered. Her mate would continue burying his emotions until they spiral out of control again. She sighed, realizing that there was truly no way to help the King. She couldn't ask the Beta General for help because he’s also in on it. “Does any of you have any idea why he would not allow the future queen of the realm to know about Queen Kyra?” She asked. “N-No one knows.

    ODESSA’S POVI frowned slightly when I felt the feeling of something cold dripping over my legs. I tried to pull it away, but something or someone held it down. The coldness disappeared and I sighed, settling to go back to sleep when I suddenly felt the chillness again along with a sharp pain. I sat up immediately, my blurry eyes pinned at the foot of the bed to see my mate crouched down cradling my foot in his hands. My toes curled and wiggled as he blew cool breath against my foot. “What are you doing?” I asked, as I stared at him with confused sleepy eyes that were quickly coming to focus. He didn't answer me and just continued blowing my feet with his cold breath. Minutes later, he gently set my feet back on the bed and walked away with a bowl and towel in his hands. I watched as he walked into the bathroom. I pulled my foot closer and stared at it, only to notice the bruises and reddened skin. “Did you walk here barefoot from the palace?” I looked up at the sound of Kaiden

I turned around and walked to the door, my hand on the doorknob, before my arm was suddenly grabbed from behind and I was spun around to face my mate. “What happened to you all of a sudden? Did I hurt you?” Even though I didn't look up at him, I could still hear the worry in his voice. “How could you…” “How could I what?” He asked confusedly, and I finally looked at him, my eyes getting blurry with tears. “How could you still be so worried about me when you're bottling so much inside? When you're battling with such guilt and self-hatred?...” My voice broke at the end as the lump in my throat grew bigger as more tears dripped down my cheeks. “Odessa—”“I caused that, didn't I? I made you feel like this; it was because of what I said, wasn't it?” I asked, even though I didn't need any confirmation.

    ODESSA’S POVSo I ended up parading the entire palace barefoot, and by the entire palace I meant going to Kiaden's bedroom and home office. Of course, he wasn't there. I got to the palace entrance and looked down at my bare feet. I could have gone back to get my shoe but I was too lazy to go back to my bedroom even though I should have done that before making this entire trip. Was I expecting my maid to pop out like a devil and hand me my shoes? Yes. Did she pop out like the devil she was to hand me my shoes? A big fat Yes! But I refused because I loved the feeling of the tiled marble floor against my feet, and now, my legs were sore and I was starting to regret my decision. Evelyn already left the palace to see Hugo, such an incompetent and love-sick maid, so I couldn't ask her to help me either. “Is everything alright, Your Highness?” One of the guards stationed at the door asked as they both looked at me looking at my feet for the past twenty minutes. I contemplated sending th

I turned to glare at her, her hand holding the brush suspended in the air as she looked at me, “So am I.”“Actually, you are wrong. You hit him with a low blow.” Evelyn pointed the brush at me, giving me a very judgy look. I scoffed, “You're only defending him because he's the King. You know I'm right.” “Maybe, but your way of handling it was very wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right. He might have gone on a mass murder after his first Queen died, but our facts about that event are only based on here-says and nothing concrete.” “What are you talking about? Both He and Victor did the same thing. They got lost in their grief and did something horrendous, the only difference was that Victor was stopped before he could do anything.” “You're talking as if you wanted Victor to have killed you and your baby.” Evenlyn frowned. “Of course not.

With a motion as fast and swift as lightning, a huge figure slammed the Prince against the wall, cracks spread out like branches around his pinned body. Everyone watched in horror as the King stood in his half beast form, three times his normal height, towering over the Prince that struggled for breath in his hold. “Kaiden!” “Your Majesty!” “Victor!” Everyone echoed at once as soon as the first initial wave of shock wore off. “He treated what's MINE!” Another might roar echoed in the air. “Your Majesty, please let him go! You’ll kill him! He's your only heir!” Eira yelled as she watched the King and her husband with caution. “HE’S NOT MY HEIR!” Kieran yelled with all his might, tightening his grip on Victor’s neck.

Lycans, with their very sensitive hearing, heard it from far and near; those outside the palace could only hear snippets of it. Odessa and Kaiden were just having their breakfast when the gut-wrenching scream echoed in the dining hall. They looked at each other before standing to their feet immediately and heading towards the third floor. They met Elixir and Miriyam on the way, and the confused looks on their faces showed that no one knew what was going on. As soon as they arrived, they saw some of the midwives bustling in and out. Now because they had to respect the Prince’s wishes, four of them stood outside the bedroom, watching the panic and chaos happen. Odessa could hear someone sobbing inside, the person came out and it turned out to be the midwife who had delivered Astraea and carried her in her arms for the first time. Miriyam quickly went to Gia and grabbed her arm, “What is it? Is the princess okay?
