Once I reached my room, I instantly fell flat on my bed, burying my face in my pillow. The reason was quite simple. For after all…The Lycan King and I kissed.The king kissed me, and I may as well have returned the gesture, with how I held onto him instead of pushed him away. It wasn’t that I disli
… How he proclaimed his love for me, to the point that he canceled his engagement with Kaiha.Once I was done relaying everything with her, I saw in silence, taking in her facial expressions. So far, as far as I could see, she showed nothing when I told her the truth. It was actually starting to wor
Nex's pov“Hmm… Frosting’s perfect. And the cupcakes should be ready soon,” I mused to myself after tasting some homemade frosting I made.“You seem happy,” came Lorelei’s voice behind me. She who was helping me make the dessert.“I guess,” I answered, taking out the cupcakes I was making from the o
Even if his problems have nothing to do with me, the two of us were fated mates, weren’t we? If there was one thing I learned from my time with Chase, it would be that as mates, we should share and carry each other’s burdens.And I want to carry Beowulf’s burdens, as I placed the tray of sweets on a
My mind froze as Beowulf kissed me so tenderly, his last words repeating in my head. He wants me? He… ‘wants’ me? Like as a lover would? As I continued to process the words in my head, my mind was starting to spin, my heart was racing, and even my stomach fluttered, as he deepened the kiss, forcing
“Yeah. A little,” he answered. “It would be better, though. I think you know how.”I did, though that didn’t make it any easier to do it, as I laid my eyes back on the thing between my chest. The longer I stared at it, the more self-conscious I was getting in regards to my situation. I swallowed dow
Nex's pov“I think we’ll be done for the day after we clean this hall.”“Right.”“Work has been really busy these days, don’t you think? Especially with all these guests coming in. Then again, having all these guests means the Luminescence Festival is nearing. In fact, it will be coming tomorrow.”“
“Soon, everyone will see how beautiful white, yellow, and green are just as I do.”I felt my heart skip a beat from the message written. Beowulf… He really thought that highly of my wolf? I knew he wasn’t bothered by it, and it was one thing to think my eyes were beautiful, but my wolf form, too? A
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
