AUTHOR’S POV

Kaiden stood right outside Odessa’s door. His heart was palpitating. He didn't know how he was going to face her, not after what happened last night.

Odessa had avoided him all through today and whenever he tried to make small talk with her, at the dining table, she'd shut him down immediately.

Kaiden knew the only thing that would make Odessa not kick him out of her room was pure grace. Mustering up the courage, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“Come in!” Odessa’s voice boomed from the other side of the room.

Taking in two large breaths, he turned the knob and pushed the door open. His eyes seek her out in her room.

His breath hitched when he finally saw her. Seated at the vanity table, facing the mirror, Odessa was dressed in a backless nightgown. Kaiden’s eyes trailed down from her collar bone to the dip that her back made into the white satin dress.

Her dainty hands were holding a pink-rhinestone hair brush, gently combing it through her beautiful loc

    CHAPTER 22ODESSA’S POV“I look like I got hit by a truck.” I groaned as I stared at my beat-up reflecting on the mirror. My hair was standing all over the place, my eyes were red and heavy with dark circles around them. It was clear as day that I had the worst night of my life. Why? Because of a certain King. After he left, I just couldn't concentrate on anything. I paced my room several times while looking for my hair brush which was in my hand by the way, even though I'd combed my hair for the night already. Out of frustration, I forced myself to sleep but it was a constant battle. My heart was beating so loudly in my ear drums that I hear the sound of my own thoughts. Something about the way I dismissed the King last night, bugged me to no end. Did the King love Eira when she was a princess too? Was she using both the King and the Prince to her advantage? Was she manipulating them? These questions and some more danced in my mind all through the night, but I couldn't find an a

    KAIDEN’S POV“So!–” “I swear on my mother’s bosom, Elixir. If you don't shut up, I'll throw you in the dungeon.” I growled at him and he laughed. “I don't think Sarai would like it. Besides, you were the one that came barging in last night. It's not my fault if I want a little payback.” I grinned knowing that my wife was my green card when it came to pestering the King.“Oh, she’ll understand, and shut the fuck up about payback. You must have went at it again after I left.” He laughed and I grumbled, storming my way to the dungeon. I felt like a coward, hell I know I'm one. Running away from the dining room because I couldn't bear to stay in the same room as them and not want to tear Victor to shreds. Elixir intercepted me, stopping me from entering the dungeon. My head tilted to the side as I stared at him. “What are you doing?” “So, it's safe to say that things clearly didn't go well after last night?” He asked, staring at my face as if trying to take note of every expression th

    ODESSA’S POV“Cut the crap, Victor. Why are you suddenly nice to me?” I said as soon as the King was out of earshot. Victor looked at me as if I'd said the most bizarre thing in the entire world. “What?” “What? Are you surprised?” I asked, pinning him with my stare. “Did you seriously not know how you've been treating me?” I was playing the part of a sad and unhappy lover and he was stupid enough to fall for it. If the maids saw how disconnected we were, there would be whispers. Which I don't mind, but I don't want my name involved in any gossip between Victor and his hoe. “Calm down, Odessa. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.” He replied looking extremely clueless. I scoffed, “You come to my kingdom, talk about wooing me and falling in love with me. Now that I'm here, you suddenly forget I exist?” “That's not true. That's not what happened.” He countered angrily. “How many times did you come to see me after I woke up? Did you even know I wasn't in my room duri

    ODESSA’S POVI frowned and raised my hand to my cheek, touching the exact spot he was pointing. I flinched as I felt the pain run through my body. I watched as he flinched as well, a fleeting emotion crossing his face before his expression went stoic. “I'm fine.” I said timelessly and he nodded, turning around to face the others in the room. I stood on my tiptoes to peep from behind his shoulders, my gaze meeting that of the other man’s. He smirked, I blushed, and his back behind the King; that was when I noticed he was yelling at Eira. “I was only trying to–” The King cut her off and I was almost feeling pity for her. Everyone knows that it's bad if the King focuses his attention on you for bad reasons. “The Princess already expressed her dislike for you. How did you think she'd react if she found you in her bedroom?” He yelled. Tears were starting to leak out of Eira's eyes. Her gaze drifted around the room, asking for help from the rest of us but no one was willing to incur th

    ODESSA’S POVI squinted my eyes at him, “Doesn't he participate every year?” Hugo shook his head, “No. He doesn't.” “Why? And why is it such a big deal?” I asked, folding my body and tucking my foot under my butt. “Well, everyone is excited because as dangerous as it sounds, we might finally get a chance to see the King’s wolf. Some of these games involve shifting.” Hugo explained. I cocked my head to the side, “Doesn't the King shift?” “No, he doesn't. He hasn't from the minute his wife, the Lycan Queen died.” A solemn expression clouding Hugo’s face. “That's not possible. I've seen the King’s wolf. Or at least I had a small tiny glance.” I chuckled. Hugo turned to me with wide eyes while Evelyn perched up on her arm, “That's not possible, Princess.” “What?” “You couldn't have seen the King’s wolf. You couldn't have.” Evelyn said with a serious expression. “And why is that?” I folded my arms, suddenly feeling offended. “Because if you did. You'd be dead, Princess.” Hugo re

    AUTHOR’S POVKaiden looked down from the balcony and he frowned. “Do I miss her so much that I now hallucinate about her climbing into my room through my window?” He muttered to himself with a frown.Odessa stared at the King like he'd lost his mind. “Halluci–What? You're not hallucinating! It's really me.” Kaiden tilted his head to the side, “Odessa?” “Yes! It's really me and if you don't help me up now, I'll fall to my death, Your Majesty!” She yelled and Kaiden’s eyes widened in realization. “Odessa!” He yelled and reached for her outstretched arm. No matter how many times he'd hallucinated or fantasized about her, he'd never imagine her scowling or yelling at him. But instead, he'd imagine the day she'd finally look at him lovingly and embrace him as his woman. Odessa blinked when he carried her like she weighed absolutely nothing. The Alpha King set her carefully on the balcony, her body leaning against him and her hands resting on his shoulder and chest. He pulled away to

    AUTHOR’S POV“What did you just say?” Kaiden asked, stepping very far away from her. Odessa had to sit at the edge of the bed before she collapsed on the floor again. “I asked if you were the Rogue King. There are rumors–”“So you believe the rumors?” He asked, his face looking a bit disappointed.Odessa shook her head, “No, I don't…I mean I can't conclude unless I hear what you have to say.” “Is my answer really that important to you?” He asked. “Yes. It is. We both know what will happen if you're truly the Rogue King.” Odessa’s eyes were glazed over with worry. “And you suddenly care? Why?” “Can you answer me without trying to change the subject?” She countered. “Fine! I'm not the Rogue King and I've not shifted ever since my wife died–”“Liar!” Odessa yelled as she stood up on her feet, placing her hand on the wall. Kaiden glared at her, “Wha–”“You're a liar!” She thundered, hot tears rolling down her cheeks. Kaiden's expression softened and he wanted to walk up to her and

    AUTHOR’S POVAfter they finished shopping for the clothes and other accessories they would need at the game, the trip began to head for the palace. Hugo and Evelyn made small talks on the way while the Princess was quiet and drowning in her thoughts. Hugo had suggested they involve her in their conversation, but Evelyn told him that the Princess was having some critical thinking and it was best they left her alone. When they arrived at the hallway of the north wingz they were stopped by the King. “Good day Your Majesty,” Evelyn and Odessa curtsied while Hugo bowed. Odessa could feel Kaiden’s gaze on her but she refused to look up and meet his eye. Shame and guilt flooded her as she remembered their conversation last night. The only evidence she had that he'd come back to the room was the fact that she'd slept on the floor and woken up on the bed, properly tucked in. She also knew he hadn't slept in his bed last night and there were no guards by the door when she woke up this morn

    The world around them went silent. Everyone, even Urelycus who was lost in his own grief seconds ago couldn't help but watch the incident that just took place in the middle of the field. The ice that had struck itself into the King’s chest melted away, leaving only a red patch on his dark robe. “O—Odessa,” The King called out, his voice breaking as he stared at his mate in his arms, bleeding from the hole in her chest, blood spluttering from her lips. Her gaze locked on his, the fear, the pain, the sadness, the love and the regret, Kaiden could see it all in her eyes. He looked down to the hole in her chest, where his hands laid, trying to stop the bleeding. “Odessa, Odessa, please….Help! Someone help me please!” King Kaiden yelled out in pain as his vision blurred with tears, looking down at his pregnant mate. Odessa wanted to comfort him, comfort them both as she could see the constant switch between gold and red until both appeared, one eye gold and the other red. “No, no, no

    AUTHOR'S POV"Let her go." Kaiden growled at Lariel as he watched his mate being suspended in the air by the latter's grip on her neck. Her legs thrashed around as she fought for her life."Lariel! Stop! She's pregnant for God's sake." Urelycus yelled at his son, his cautious gaze drifting to Kaiden."It's not often that anyone gets their hands on the Lycan king's weakness; why should I let go of such a rare chance?" Lariel asked, his head tilted to the side with a creepy smile on his face."Fine, fine, just ease your grip around her neck. She's the reason the Lycan king hasn't torn you apart yet." Urelycus tried to reason with his son, and he could see the moment of contemplation in Lariel's eyes as his son reasoned with what he said. Lariel's grip slowly loosened, and Odessa quickly took in a much-needed breath; her gaze went straight to her mate's, who was rooted to a spot, brewing with anger as he stared back at her helplessly."I can't believe that you would be so weak for someon

    AUTHOR’S POV“What the hell was that?” Kaiden asked as the scene disappeared from sight. “That is what will happen in the next hour if we don't hurry up!” Urelycus responded and the witch Matriarch walked to the center, stretching her hand out as she chanted a spell, little spark appeared in the air, before small tiny holes began to appear and grow bigger as her chant increased. She didn't stop until each hole was the same size as a fully grown human.There were seven holes in total, each one in the eight realms of the world, showing the scene of the hall where the Kings and Queens of those teams were seated.

    AUTHOR’S POV“And now, I'm going to take what really belongs to me!” Eira chuckled, and Odessa glared at her angrily. “What belongs to you? Nothing ever belonged to you, Eira. You stole everything from me just like your mom tried to do to my parents. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree then—” Her head was whacked to the side by a forceful blow from Eira. “All is fair in love and war, Odessa.” And right in her presence, Eira flipped open a small vial and poured the entire contents into her mouth. Odessa arched as Eira’s eyes turned to an ugly mix of purple and green. The latter smiles creepily before standing on her feet and walking off. Odessa curled into herself as she suddenly felt exposed to the people wearing black cloaks on their bodies; she watched as they drew different symbols on the floor and brought in weird ornaments and objects that creeped the hell out of her. Odessa quickly bowed, covering her eyes and ears and falling asleep as the drug in her system hadn

    AUTHOR’S POVOdessa woke up to the feeling of cold water all over her body. Her heavy eyes slowly adjusted to the dim brightness of the cave, and her eyes roamed the walls that looked like they'd seen a million murders. “Ahhh, sleeping beauty is finally awake.” Her head snapped in front of her as she stared at Eira, who slowly crouched down to look at her at eye level. “Where am I?” Odessa asked as she stared at the cloak-covered people walking around them, glancing at her from the corner of their eyes before walking away and completely ignoring her existence. “And who are these people?” “This…” Eira gestured at the cave, “This is your gravesite, and these people are your fans.” She smiled genuinely, and Odessa tilted her head to the side. The smile on Eira’s face quickly disappeared. “You don't look fazed.” Odessa shrugged, perks of having the moon goddess as your cab driver. “Did you kidnap me just to kill me, or is there something different that you want?”“Hmm, I'm quite disa

    CHAPTER 186AUTHOR’S POVThe manservant fell on his two knees as he approached the two kings, his hand shivering as he held out a letter to the Lycan King."Your Majesty, I've been trying to reach you for days." The manservant said, his gaze completely fixed on Kaiden even as King Odesseus stared at him in confusion. "Hammed, do you know where my mate is?" Kaiden asked, reaching for the paper in the servant's hands.Hammed nodded, "Last night, after the princess was placed on house arrest, I went to her chambers and lingered in the hallway, watching out for her like you ordered, when I saw Princess Eira walking up to the guards and whispering something in their ears. I couldn't hear them properly, but she was given access even after the King ordered that no one visit Princess Odessa in her chambers."Hammed paused, glancing at King Odesseus, wondering how he would say what he was about to say next without losing his tongue."Hammed!" Kaiden called out warningly, and the spy gulped.

    AUTHOR’S POVOdessa walked in on her father having breakfast; as soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up with joy and then dimmed. “Odessa, you’re here. I was expecting you.”“Of course, you were. What was that letter about, father?”Odesseus stared at his daughter with raised eyebrows. “Exactly what you read in it.”Odessa’s lips shook with anger. “Father, if Eira is threatening—”“That’s a very inappropriate thing to say about your sister.”“She’s not my fucking sister! She is not, and I know she’s manipulating you. Just tell me what she has on you, and I’ll resolve it, I promise. Just tell—“ODESSA!” Odesseus yelled, glaring hard at his daughter. Odessa took a step backwards, staring at her father in shock. Did he just yell at her?“Father—”“I told you to drop it. Why do you never listen to me?”“Don’t be so shocked, father. Odessa has always been like that.”The princess turned and saw Eira dressed in their Urabian attire. A flashback crossed her mind as she remembered Eira being

Do you have nine lives or something?” Kaiden raised an eyebrow, his gaze filled with disappointment. Odessa pouted, “Well, considering the amount of time I've reincarnated, I'm sure I'm on life three.” She crossed the distance between them and snuggled her way into his lap like a feline, purring and growling once she was comfortable in his arms, “It was a spur on the moment of decision. I wasn't planning on raiding her room in the first place.” “Did you find anything then?” Kaiden asked, his voice vibrating through his chest against her body that was sprawled over him. “No, not a speck of evidence, except the fact that she finally confessed to also remembering our past life.” Kaiden sat up suddenly, his arms went around her petite body to stop her from falling off him and hitting the huge desk in front of them, “She r

Are you okay?” Odessa asked as she grabbed Evelyn’s wrist and looked at her red skin. “I'm fine, are you alright? Did you get any on yourself?” Evelyn asked and Odessa stared at her in shock before reprimanding her. “Forget me, you're the one who got hot tea all over your hand, what were you thinking?!” She yelled at her and pulled her close to the flower pot, using her powers to conjure up a ball of water from the lake.“Not me, you. What were you thinking?” Evelyn asked her and Odessa sighed. She'd been so deep in her thoughts that she'd poured too much tea in her cup that it overflowed. She embedded Evelyn’s hand inside the ball of water and it stayed like that until they got to the first aid kit. “Is this about what happened last night?” Evelyn asked as Odessa busied herself with applying ointment on her burns. “Hm.” She nodded absentmindedly. “Di
