Conrad’s POV

I sat in my office and was doing some paperwork when a knock sounded at the door. Whoever that was knocking now was testing his luck. The day had been terrible. I was yet to receive news about Dorian.

The knocking came again, and I ushered the person in with a loud voice. The door handle creaked slightly as it was turned, and a head poked into my office.

"Are you here to give me news, or are you just practising to be a meerkat?"

Jonas gulped and finally stepped into the room; he held a book in his arms, and I looked at it sceptically.

"Doing a bit of reading? I didn't think that you could read. Why are you here?"

His legs turned to jelly, and I could feel the aura around him. He reeked of fear.

"My Prince, we still haven't made any progress on finding him."

I snapped the pen in my hand, and my patience snapped along with it.

"What? I didn't quite hear you. Could you repeat that?"

Jonas was trembling, and it was a miracle that he was still standing in front of me.

    April's POV I woke up the next morning, and the house was silent. I sniffed the air, and there was no smell of breakfast.I got out of bed without any regard for sleeping Azura, and she was rudely startled and gave me an angry meow."I'm really sorry. You can sleep later."She meowed angrily, gave a soft hiss, and climbed back on the bed, her feet in a loaf position and staring at me with judgy eyes.I ignored her and headed downstairs. It was quiet, and the smell of breakfast didn't tinge the air. Susan was not home again, and the stove was ice cold. She hadn't cooked either.I took a deep breath and looked around. This was the perfect time to look for Stacie's pictures. If they weren't in my father's room, they had to be in her. Without a second to waste, I rushed upstairs to her room and crept to her door. It was possible that I was all wrong, and she was in her room taking the day off. I tiptoed to her door and placed my ear on the wood. I listened carefully but couldn't hear a

    April’s POVI got home and stopped dead in my tracks. A familiar car was parked in the driveway, and as soon as I laid eyes on it, my heart began to pound in fear.That was Conrad's car, wasn't it? What was he doing here? Why was he at my house?The questions filled me with fear and curiosity. For a few minutes, every muscle in my body was undecided on whether to go in and meet him or retreat to Jacob's place.He hadn't called or texted me since I left the Royal City. Was he angry with me for some reason? Did I offend him in any way? Suddenly, the car door flung open, and I jolted in surprise. Conrad stepped out, and he locked eyes with me.My legs shut off, and I was rooted to the spot. I found myself staring into his blue eyes that seemed to reflect the sun's light like the ocean."What is happening to me?"I squeaked to myself and tried to move, but my limbs weighed a ton.All of a sudden, Conrad dashed towards me. Before I could comprehend what was happening, he picked me up and

What was all of this?He pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket, and my fears intensified. Was it a..."I know we haven't known each other for very long, but I feel connected with you, April. I want you to be with me and rule by my side as my queen. I had everything that a prince could ask for except for true love. I'm asking you for myself now. April, would you be my bride?"I felt the world spin, but I was still in the same place. I felt faint and weak, and I could feel myself gasping for breath. The world around me was blacking out, and my lips became parched and crusty.No. This had to be a joke. This wasn't real. Please, someone, tell me that this isn't true. The thought of it all being a facade brought air back to my lungs, and I stared at Conrad intensively, trying to discern the joke in his stare. "Are you playing a prank on me?–"I tried to sound ligh

    April's POV I turned, and Ivar and Jacob walked towards us, their expressions cold and stern. They stole an icy glance at me and then turned to Conrad, who snarled at them angrily."How dare you interrupt me? This is none of your business, and I suggest that you step down for your good. I was busy here before you two brats showed up."Ivar scoffed and rolled his eyes defiantly.I didn't think that you would expect me to hush up about something as disgraceful as this. If anything, you should be the one who is careful about who you're talking to.In an instant, Conrad's aide, who had been standing behind him the entire time, stepped forward. He looked nervous but tried his best to speak confidently to Ivar, who was trying his best not to flare up."How dare you talk to the Crown Prince of the Royal Empire in such a manner? Your insolence against his Majesty is a grave crime punishable by even death. I felt my hands and legs jitter with worry. I didn't want to be a reason for Ivar and

    Dorian's POV I was lying in the snow. I was alone and cold, and my fingers ached as the blustery wind gnawed at them.Suddenly, I felt a warm, soft pillow under my head. I felt it, but it was not fluffy, but it was soft nonetheless.I looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes looking at me and hair that whipped elegantly despite the cold, bitter winds."April?"I reached out to caress her face, but she was fading, and my fingers went right through her like she was a ghost."April? Where are you going?"She was barely visible, and her smile was nowhere to be seen. She vanished, and I curled myself in the cold snow."Princess, don't go. It's cold. It's..."I opened my eyes and squinted as I felt the sun's rays on my face. Was it morning? Where was the snow? The wind? April? I looked around for her figure, but I was alone in the strange room. What was going on? Where was I? Was this another dream?I heard a click and turned to the door to see a man looking at me in surprise."Dorian?"I wa

There was no way we could accept someone else as the Alpha of the pack.The looking Ivar's eyes showed that he shared the same idea as me. We had to stop Conrad before he pushed it too far. "Conrad, I don't think that it is a good idea to bring in someone else to be the Alpha of this pack."He looked at me with one of his eyebrows raised."And why is that not a good idea? According to you, your alpha has been missing for days, and you have refused to take up the job as Luna of your pack, though you are the legitimate heir to the throne. What else would you have me do? Someone needs to lead the pack."I took a deep breath and faced Conrad squarely. I wasn't going to allow him to assign the duty of protecting this pack to someone else."Conrad, this pack has been ruled by my ancestors since its inception. It was this way long before we pledged loyalty to th

    April's POV"What if your Alpha never comes back?"His question sent ripples down my spine, and my heart beat rapidly. My hands were shaking slightly, but I hid them behind my back before he could see them.No. I couldn't let him know that Dorian was back and he was safe. Ivar was right. We couldn't trust him for now. There was clearly still some enmity between him and Dorian. I had to be careful around him, just like I was with Susan. I had to trust my instincts. "Please, just reconsider." I continued to plead with him. The stakes were high. We couldn't let the Royal City get involved in this. We can have a meeting with the pack and let them decide what they want. It is best that we get their take on the matter."My hands had stopped shaking, and I crossed them behind my back, praying that the goddess would change his decision."I understand that you want peace, April. Outside leadership, the natural harmony of the pack is vital."I continued staring at him, my eyes moist as I begge

Get a hold of yourself!"I was struggling and kicking, but finally, I quieted down and looked at Ivar. The beautiful gold of his eyes was back, and they filled my soul with warmth and calmness."April, listen to me. I understand that you are excited and a little emotional. I know you really want to see Dorian, but we can't risk it right now. Conrad just spoke to us and for all we know, he could be tracking you. I suggest that you go home and rest and you can come and see Jacob in the evening. Seeing the three of us together is a little suspicious. Dorian isn't going anywhere. Please just listen to me.I looked at him and felt tears fill my eyes again. My heart wanted to see Dorian. I wasn't sure how he was going to treat me, but I wanted to see him all the same.

She had done and redone my makeup multiple times and couldn't seem to get her hands out of my hair."Can you just stay still? Today is your wedding day, and I want you to look perfect. It's not every day that you get to marry the King of the Lycan Empire."I rolled my eyes but couldn't help the blush that spread over my cheeks.I had been looking forward to this wedding for a whole month, and finally, it was here. Lucy was at the forefront and was my wedding planner. She fussed over everything, down to the smallest detail, like what colour the flower should be on each table. She did my makeup, and it took her twenty minutes to decide what colours to use for my eyeshadow. "Hold on, your eyeliner looks a little smudged."She attempted to reapply it, but I held her hands and kept her calm. I had already seen my face in the mirror

    Dorian's POVI had never seen her this ravenous. Her eyes were wide, and her soft body reacted to my every touch. She took the lead and grabbed my dick, lowering herself onto it and rewarding me with her warm pussy.She was tight, and the walls gripped my hard phallus. I groaned as I soon found myself in, relishing the warmth of her hot body."Fuck! You are so tight, April."She said nothing and began to move her hips back and forth. She was gentle and slow, and moans escaped from her lips.I had had sex, but never like this. She felt beautiful, and she was all mine."How do I feel, Dorian?"She made the strokes shallow and graced the tip of my cock with her juices. She threw her head back, and her lips had my name on them. I gripped the sheets tightly and enjoyed her tight body. For the first time, I felt complete. I could feel our bodies and souls becoming one."Fuck, April!"I grabbed her, and in an instant, she was beneath me. My lips sought hers as I thrust deep inside her."Ahhh

    April's POVI was in my room, my heart beating at an uneasy pace. I couldn't believe it, but it was finally all over.It had been a while since I last saw Dorian. Ever since his coronation, the council had swamped him with work. He was having Ivar help him, and everyone seemed to enjoy his leadership.Azura was on my lap, and I was stroking her. It was still shocking that I was the wolf that the prophecy foretold. I could give life to people.I had been thinking about it, which was absurd, but it made many things fall into place. It explained how I was able to save Jacob's dad and how I was able to bring Azura back when I saw her in the park.Despite all of this, I was still worried. If I had found out sooner about my powers and paid more attention to them, I could have saved the King.The thought haunted me, and the whispering from people I walked past didn't make it any better.I heard a soft knock at my door and stood to answer it. Azura followed me closely, and as soon as I opened

    April's POVI was in shock at what Conrad had just accused me of. I wasn't a witch. Why would he think that?There was a confused mumbling in the hall, and everyone looked weirdly at me.Conrad got down from the throne stand and stood menacingly before me."I know you for what you truly are. You aren't an innocent face. You are a witch. I have seen the magic you do. You bewitched me, and also, my father died because of you. I am also sure that you used your powers to falsify that letter to deceive the whole court that my father gave the letter to Dorian...""Stop! Just stop!–"I yelled loudly and was on the brink of tears."–How could you say such things about me?! You know that we have you pinned, and you are just so desperate that you want to blame someone else."I saw a devilish smirk curl his lips."You think that I am desperate?"In a split second, he grabbed Azura out of my arms and held her dangerously by the neck."I will show you how desperate I can be!"I tried to grab Azura

    Chapter 175April's POV I was in my room putting on my dress. I was dejected and sad. I couldn't believe that this was the day; I couldn't believe that Conrad was being crowned today.I sighed sadly and put on my earrings. This wasn't what I had hoped for. It should have been Dorian but now the king was dead and no one knew the truth except Dorian, Ivar, Jacob, Lucy, and I. Susan and Stacie would never spill and it was doubtful that anyone would believe us. I heard the door open and I turned to see Dorian in a handsome blue suit, standing at the doorway. He had a weak smile on his face and all I could do was return it. I was too sad to speak.He closed the door behind him and walked up to me."You look beautiful." He slipped his arms around my waist, through the back of my open dress, and planted a soft kiss on my neck.My body began to burn with desire and passion. My moans were breathy and sensual."Dorian..."His name was soft and sweet on my lips as his lips teased my neck."Yo

I sat there patiently watching the security footage, waiting for Stacie and Susan to come outside.I wasn't sure how long I waited, but the bitter cold didn't make me shiver in the least; I had experienced much worse than this.The snow was still falling and the garden was covered in a blanket of white. I sat still, waiting and watching.Finally, they began to leave. They left the villa and stepped outside. Susan looked quite livid but Stacie was smiling like the disgusting bitch that she was. She and her mother had made everyone's lives a misery and they had shown no remorse for it.Stacie clutched a coat close to her body and walked with her mother who was in a heavy cloak that swept the snowy ground. They left the compound and took a right. I put my phone in my pocket and followed them, keeping a safe distance behind them.They walked fo

    Chapter 173April's POVI was up early in the morning. My eyes stung, and my teeth clattered. I realised that the bedclothes had fallen off me and had landed on the floor. Azura was curled tightly on the floor's covers and purring in satisfaction. I looked outside the window and saw that fresh snow was falling. It looked like a wonderland. I only wondered how long it would remain that way once Conrad became the king.I still couldn't believe that he was being crowned in two days. So much was happening in my head that I couldn't keep track of it.I heard a soft knock at my door but was too dizzy to answer. I heard the door click, and someone walked in.I heard heavy boots thudding towards me, and when I looked up, my blood ran cold. "Conrad?!"Before I could breathe a word, he grabbed me by my neck and slammed me onto the bed."C... Conrad... I...I can't breathe."His eyes were a furious electric blue, and his teeth were gritted in anger as he stared down at me."You! This is all you

    Dorian's POVI woke up alone in my room to a bitter cold. I looked out my window and saw snow falling freshly and blanketing the pack's ground in a graceful white covering.I spent the night alone, as April had to go and prepare for today's funeral and pick out a dress. I had a wonderful time with her yesterday. My heart fluttered each time I remembered the kisses I stole and how she giggled. I never thought that I could be this happy.I sat up and finally had time to think about the fight alone. There was so much that had happened that I hadn't been able to process in April's presence, like the fact that Geras' blood tasted and smelled a bit like Conrad's and how my injuries were able to heal so fast and even bring me back from the dead because I was almost sure that I had kicked the bucket.I spent unproductive minutes trying to dissect it all, and soon, I finally gave up. I was just happy that this was over. I owed it to my birth father. He would have wanted me to keep the pack saf

    April's POVI had been by Dorian's side all day, insisting that he lay in bed. I was happy that no one had bothered us. He watched me as I dashed around the room, looking for things to make him more comfortable.He had told me that he was okay, but I could not fully believe him. He has healed up too fast for any normal wolf. What if something in his body wasn't attached properly? What if he wasn't fully healed?I had gotten a cold towel to dab his forehead in case he got a headache, but he stopped me, grabbed me, and pulled me into bed with him."Dorian, stop playing around. You need to rest."He pinned me to the bed, and I found myself looking up at his piercing green eyes."Apri, you have been doting on me since the fight yesterday. I told that I'm alright."He growled softly in my ear and kissed my earlobe softly.I groaned softly at the feel of his soft lip. They trailed down my neck to my cheeks and finally rested on my lips.He kissed me deeply and wrapped his arms around me. I
