Rayna’s pov

My mark was no more burning, my fingers were just fine. So, this time I didn’t lose the chance to drink in the scenery on my way to the palace.

I was all excited to start my new life with Alex.

My heart skipped a beat when my carriage started to ease its pace. We were in the middle of the dense forest, and I couldn’t see any building or a motel where we needed to take rest.

The towering trees seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky. As we went deeper into the woods, the trees started thinning out, allowing sunrays to reach the ground.

“Attention! The Royal carriages are here. Stand up to welcome the King!” I heard an announcement and then was amazed when the carriage slowly left back the trees and now there was a sudden clearing appearing before us.

The transition from dense forest to this open space was so abrupt that it almost startled me.

I could easily see the walls of the palace that looked more like a fort.

The vehicle had stopped, and I silently observed the warr

    Rayna’s povThere was pin-drop silence for a moment. I could feel their eyes fixed on me, their gazes were sharp and judgmental.The tension seemed to hang in the room like a heavy fog and then the in charge who seemed a bit bored dissolved into mirth. Several women followed her, and the room erupted in a fit of laughter. Their voices sounded like a mocking chorus ringing in the air. I wasn’t ready for it and felt humiliation washing over me like anything.“Are you all also thinking what I am thinking? Ha-ha.” The plus-size in charge managed in between her giggles and they all nodded at her while holding their tummy.I didn’t know what was so funny about it. I was standing there feeling exposed and vulnerable.“Sorry, girl. I think you are trying to fool us.” When I didn’t say anything, the lady said further controlling her mirth, “There is no Lexi here, love. Nor do we have any Alex except one.”She then again started laughing, “That dame sitting into that corner. She is the mate of

    Rayna’s pov:“Alex!” I screamed his name when the cold water made contact with my face skin. I squeezed my eyes and wiped the wetness off my face with the back of my hands.The lady from the previous day was standing there, placing a hand on her hip, “So you thought that we would spare you? Didn’t I ask you to do some work because we had extra guests coming for dinner?”Dinner?I realized I was hungry, I hadn’t eaten since yesterday’s breakfast. “I… I’m …” I tried to speak but the woman finished it for me,“I’m what? Sorry? You are sorry? We don’t serve the people who think that they could get away with laziness.”“No… I didn’t mean that… I am hungry… yeah. I’m sorry too. But right now, I’m really hungry.” To give this lady the proof my stomach chose to make rumbling sounds. The skin between her brows pinched and for a moment her eyes turned sympathetic, “Y… you are hungry… umm. When was the last time you had your meal?”I got up from the bed and stretched, “I had breakfast yesterda

    Rayna’s pov“Man! What you did out there was so fascinating!” Megan said rubbing the counter above the fireplace. This morning I definitely made enough fans in the kitchen after I tackled the bitter woman.She had quietly left the kitchen in embarrassment and the maids there had clapped for me. “Girls! Make it quick so that we can arrange the breakfast here.” Ameera asked the two maids who were arranging fresh fruit baskets on the Royal table.Everyone was working hard to make the hall sparkle clean yet there were no snarky remarks, no threats. Ameera’s tone remained firm, but she was not that bad.At least she was better than that malicious Rasia.“Today is a special day. Like last night beta Brian will be joining the table. There will be more meals once King Alexander returns.” “Beta Brian?” I smiled fondly while wiping the chairs around the table, “he is the gentlest man I have ever seen.” Megan who was drinking water choked on it.“Megan!” Ameera was close by to slap her back, “

    Rayna’s pov:For some reason, Queen Savannah’s face was beaming. I quickly bowed to her and bobbed my head not knowing what to tell her.“Why are you wearing maid's uniform?” Beta Brian started noticing me and then turned to the queen,“No, your Highness. She is not my girl but someone very important to me.” He bent his head in submission and the queen walked to me taking small steps.“What’s your name child?” She asked me, pinching my chin gently to look up. Her eyes seemed to be searching my soul. “R…Rayna… your Highness!” I quickly bowed to her and then did the same to the girls standing behind her. They all nodded acknowledging my respect. “What a beautiful name. Who are you, love?” I tilted my head to look at the beta for approval. I didn’t want to tell her that I was here because of Lexi. As their special warrior, he should be the one announcing our relationship to them.“I belong to the Black Stone pack, ma’am… your highness…” I again bowed not knowing what else to do.“You

    Rayna’s povI wasn’t aware of why I was doing it. It felt like someone was pushing me to do it. Someone wanted me to leave my seat and go to her.“It's an old problem, my dear. With time it’s getting worse due to my growing age.” I threw my hands up in the air and gestured with my eyes towards her foot.“If you don’t mind, could you please remove your foot from your sandal?” She passed a confused look first to her daughters and then to Beta Brian.“Brian. Honey!”“It's ok, my queen. I just need to check it.” I assured her. With great hesitancy, she took off the sandal and placed her foot on the floor.“With your permission ma’am?” I wanted her consent to it.“I… I am not liking it, Rayna but… ok,” she said with uncertainty. I held her foot and placed it on my knee. The stinging in my fingertips was now becoming too much. And then out of nowhere, I saw a purple light surrounding every tip of my fingers.With great care and gentleness, I caressed her foot with my fingers and then held

    Rayna’s pov:“You must be mated to an elite warrior then,” Megan said sitting down opposite to me. We were having our late dinner on the kitchen floor in peace.A square dining cloth was spread, and we had placed a big Ramen bowl along with a few Coke cans.Most of the palace had gone quiet by now. Everyone was in bed sleeping peacefully while we were chatting like old buddies.Beta Brian wanted me to either have my meals with him or in the privacy of my room. And I didn’t want to obey him blindly on anything unless he gave me a reasonable explanation for everything.He couldn’t come up with a rational answer for Lexi’s secrecy.Was Alex even a warrior or was he someone else?“What’s an elite warrior by the way?” I asked Megan, filling my bowl again with the Ramen noodles, my comfort food. “An elite warrior is supposed to protect the king. In the future, the King will show himself once he gets a mate, but the elite warriors never show their faces. They stay close to the king keeping

    Rayna’s pov:“Rasia! Ameera sent me to clear your cutlery record. Send it by tomorrow noon or be ready to pay the fine.” Megan warned her, “You have already passed the deadline so this time, for the record, I came without a mind link or an intercom.”Rasia was about to say something nasty when Megan spoke again, “I have got direct orders to mind link Beta Brian if Rayna is in trouble. So next time your women touch her, I’ll personally make sure Beta Brian chops their hands off their useless bodies.”Holding my hand Megan almost dragged me out.“They are so mean!” I remarked rubbing my palms on my cheeks that still hurt until my fingers…Once we were out, Megan turned to me to have a look at my face, “Does it hurt? Should I ask for a doctor? Those women need to learn a lesson.”I couldn’t even respond to her because I could again feel those familiar tingles and sensations at my fingertips.I was still stroking my face when I sensed a cooling effect.

    Alexander Ironheart pov. The way she came running to me and jumped into my arms told me that she was missing me as much as I was missing her. And that made me happy. Very happy, indeed. Her legs wrapped around my waist, as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world. I could sense her pouty lips touching the crook of my neck, and her arms were tied around me in a fierce hug. She was indeed my sunshine. Her closeness was doing strange things to my body. It wanted her. I wanted her. I wanted to make her mine. But not like that. My beast didn’t want to listen for any reason. It wanted to devour her, kiss her, and claim her. My hands were under her bubbly ass and that was making me all the more harder. Taking my nose close to her hair I took a long sniff and kissed her head, “Did you miss me?” “Umm hmm. Very much.” Her sexy voice was all muffled due to her mouth close to my shirt. Guessing that she was not planning to pull back anytime soon I tightened my grip around her a

    (Two years later)“Your Highness. There is a woman who wants to meet you,” I closed the book, I was reading in my library, and looked at the little bundle of joy sleeping peacefully in my arms.I mind linked the governess to come and get the baby and wait for me here. “Keep her here. No need to come out,” I instructed her after kissing the small forehead and went to the guest area. I knew who my visitor was.That was the reason I passed some special instructions to my servants.When I reached there, I found a red-colored, huge, georgette cloth hanging in the middle. The woman was sitting on the other side of the cloth wrapped in a black shawl hiding more than half of her face.The shawl belonged to only one woman.No servants or maids were accompanying her. She was not wearing any fancy gown but a simple cotton skirt with a mismatched blouse.I took my seat on this side and waited for her to speak. I had somewhat guessed that she would come to meet me one day.“Alexander… I… I’m here

    Zara’s POV:(Trigger warning for physical abuse and rape, but not too graphic)There wasn’t a moment I didn’t miss my friend. As Omegas, all of us always had great respect for her. None of us could tell her that. She was always so strong-headed and knew how to stand and speak up for her rights. Nothing about her was odd. Do you know, why?Because she was the firstborn of the beta of the pack. As powerful and as strong-willed as a beta should be. Her father, her stepmom, his mates, Violet… all of them tried to take away something she deserved.And then didn’t like it when she took a stand for herself and protested. Eric must have realized what a gem he lost.But the shitty-headed man didn’t want to accept it with an open heart. Apparently, a man is someone who knows how to suppress a woman and finds it insulting to apologize for his mistakes.His ego is bigger than his di*ck.That day when Rayna went to take a shower because she was too excited about her upcoming date with King Alexan

    Rayna’s POV:“What is my wife thinking!” I gasped and then smiled when his arms wrapped around my waist kissing the nape of my neck.“I was missing my husband,” I leaned back my head to his chest, forgetting all my worries knowing full well he was there to take care of everything.I trusted him and was sure he would be a great father to our child.“How is our son doing?” his hand slid under my top and I laughed hard when it settled on my bo*ob. “The baby doesn’t reside here, mister,” I gestured using my eyes towards his hand that was under my clothes. “Umm hmm. I know. His food is. I was just checking if there is enough to fill his tummy,” I felt his nose getting in my hair. “Ahan! His food or your food?”“Both!” he chuckled when felt my shoulders shaking with mirth.“You keep saying his, him, he… what if it’s a daughter?”“Lycans of royal lineage usually have sons as their firstborn,” he informed me huskily, “And we don’t prefer ultrasounds too unless it’s an emergency.”In werew

    Rayna’s POV:My eyes fluttered and I felt like I was waking up from a deep sleep. With a frown, I opened my eyes and found Alexander’s face leaning on me.“Welcome back!” I felt his lips on my forehead. “Alexander!” I raised my hand to trail my fingers on his face, “Y…you … you are alive!” He turned his face to kiss my palm, “Very much. Just get well soon, so that I can punish you for what you did,” He murmured and kissed my cheek.“Punish?” my hand quickly flew to my belly when saw tears in his eyes.“He is safe, sunshine. Don’t worry. He is my son and he made it.”His image blurred when my eyes well up with tears, and he started wiping my face, “Whatever you did was quite risky, Rayna.”“I was fighting the Moon Goddess, Alex. What’s the use of these hands and the healing power when I can’t bring you back.”He leaned his cheek against my face, and I felt his tears falling on my face, “If I tell you,” He spoke, “that I’m done with taking care of this kingdom and no more want this th

    Orion’s POV:“The baby is safe,” the moment the doctor announced it, a loud cheer erupted in the hospital corridor. Till a few minutes back, everyone was concerned for Rayna and the baby’s health but now all of us were beaming with joy.“Orion,” I heard Nora behind me, “Why is Mom not coming to visit Alexander? Don’t you think she is behaving a lot weirdly, lately?”The same question kept disturbing me for the past few days. Why was Mom not paying him any visit? She always took him as her son to the point that I felt jealous. And now when I had made peace with it, she had started acting strange.My security department had arrested several people from the palace, but our investigation faced a dead end.According to the guards who were on duty, only Mom was the one who visited Alexander so that meant only one thing.Whoever this murderer was, didn’t use the main entrance.Nobody forced Mom to see Alexander in the hospital because with age she wasn’t handling a few things quite well.We

    Rayna’s POV:Right after the surgery, I was taken inside where his lifeless body was lying on the bed. His chest was wrapped in bandages, and he was kept alive by all those beeping machines.I raised my hands and there was no itching or any hue there.“What’s the matter?” I whispered to myself.“Ma’am,” a nurse spoke to me, “if you need anything then please press this button,” when she left the room, I sat on the edge of his bed instead of taking the nearby seat.“I don’t need any switches. I want nothing but you,” I said to him, without knowing if he could hear me or not.“I don’t have anyone in this world. My mother died. Father never thought of me as his own. My best friend broke up with me yesterday…” I held his hand gently, “Lola was a nutcase. Liam and Grace do love me, but they are too little to understand me. All I have got is you… and this little life growing inside me.”I slowly laid his hand on my belly, “Here. Your child, Alexander. Our child. Just when it was time to spoi

    Orion's POV:We all were gathered in the grand hall of the palace that was reserved strictly for Royal ceremonies. While standing on the stage, the incidents that happened seven years ago, kept playing in my mind like a movie.Just like that day, my family was seated in the front row, their eyes devoid of any happiness. Nora, Stella, and Ruby were observing the ceremony solemnly but there was no excitement in those eyes that was there seven years back.Yet, my mom was the same. She had pride when she saw me all ready to take the oath to become the king of the Aradia Kingdom. She was wiping her tears, and I was aware of her mental state.She must be disturbed by Alexander’s condition but had to put up the face for people’s sake because apparently a queen is supposed to stay composed in public.The most senior cleric brought the Holy book and raised it on both hands, with his head bowed in respect.I placed my right hand on the book and repeated the words said by the him,“I, Orion Iron

    Rayna’s POV:Most of my packing was done, however my basic stuff was yet to be placed in the bag. Beta Brian must be crazy to wake me up at this ungodly hour. The poor guy seemed to have multiple personality disorder.After brushing my teeth, and washing my face, I placed my leftover stuff in the bag and knocked my door loudly from inside.It was a sign to the one waiting outside that I was done. It was a way for royals to tell their servants that they were needed inside.When Brian came inside, I was busy suppressing the loud yawn. I had to squeeze my eyes several times to get rid of my sleepy head.“Can we get coffee? I’m too sleepy to walk…” This time I couldn’t control the yawn and quickly covered my mouth with my hand.“You can sleep in the car,” He muttered and then didn’t wait for my answer and left the room with my bag.“What’s the rush by the way?” I tried to catch up with his long strides, “No breakfast. No coffee. Alexander might not like it.” I said with a pout causing hi
