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
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
Lucy's POVEveryone had left the villa but I managed to sneak off and stay behind. I hid outside, in the garden and my face was glued to my phone. 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 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
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
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
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
Chapter 179April's POV “Lucy! Stop fussing over my makeup. I think the eyeshadow is more than enough.”Lucy was fussing over my face for the umpteenth time. 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
