April's POV

The next morning, I was awakened by the sound of my phone buzzing. My neck ached terribly, and my feet felt too cold, and I was very uncomfortable.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes, and saw that I slept on the floor. My phone buzzed again, and I picked it up and saw that Lucy was calling.

"Lucy?"

"April, good morning. Are you ready? We are like ten minutes away from your house."

My eyes grow wide, and I turn to the window. It was almost daybreak, and I wasn't ready for the trip to the Royal Empire.

Also, the last thing I wanted was Dorian to stop me before I could leave. It was a miracle that he hadn’t come here all night.

"Yeah, sure. I am on my way downstairs right now."

The call ended, and I looked around my room. I had almost finished packing. I quickly stuffed the second bag and jumped into the shower.

I had the quickest shower of my life, and in two minutes, I was done. I quickly threw on a shirt and some jeans. I turned to the side, and my eyes caught something in the cor

    Dorian’s POV I stood atop the staircase and watched April drag her bags downstairs. She was only going for a few weeks. Why the hell did she have two big bags packed?I continued watching her as she talked to her friend, and as soon as she slammed the door shut, I hurried to her room.I opened her door and marched to her wardrobe. I threw it open and surveyed the contents carefully. She still had a lot of stuff in her closet, and it barely seemed anything had been taken.A lot of her clothes and shoes were still very much intact, as well as other items.I closed the wardrobe and surveyed around the room. My eyes finally came to rest on her dressing table.Something was gone from there.I stared hard before it finally clicked, and I saw that it wasn't there anymore. She had taken it; she had taken the music box.My mind began to turn gears. Why would she take the music box with her? What was she planning?As I thought, I felt my mind go down a rusty memory lane back to when we were y

    April's POVWe got to the Royal Empire quite late in the day. As we drove in, I marvelled at the landscape and marvellous architecture.I thought I had been to the Royal Empire, but this place looked very different from where Conrad had taken me previously.I turned to him, "Where are we? This wasn't where you took me last time."He smiled and gave me a wink."You have a sharp mind, April. Yes, this isn't where I took you last time. Where you were was simply the pack that was under my management. I am the alpha of that pack. This, however, is the real Royal Empire, and I am a prince here. My father manages this part, and this is also where the ball will be held."We pulled up in front of a mansion, and we all alighted from the vehicle. Conrad, however, stayed inside as the valet brought out our luggage."I have a meeting and some matters to attend to. My assistant will take you to your rooms so you can get settled in. Your rooms are all very close to each other, in case you girls love

    April's POVThe next day, I was up really early. This was the first time in my life that I had gotten a good night's sleep without worries or the fear of having to go downstairs to see Dorian and Susan.I got out of bed and had a long, cool shower. The water pressure was amazing, and I felt I could spend hours there.I got out and dressed. Just as I finished, Lucy entered my room with a breakfast tray.“I intercepted the maid bringing you breakfast and told her I would give it to you. We could have breakfast together and get started on our gifts."I beamed at Lucy, and we ate and shared laughs and jokes. After our meal, I took out my pallet and brush, and Lucy took out a laptop and immediately set to work.We were fully engrossed in our work and were unsure of what time it wasKnock!! Knock!!I jumped in fright and nearly ruined my painting. Lucy also stopped what she was doing, and we looked at the door.

I was sure I wasn't going back, not after what Dorian did to me."April, are you being serious? You are really staying?""Yes. I wanted to stay in my father's pack; It was my home, and I had so many good memories there with him when he was alive, but now that he's gone, I think I need to find my own footing.

I took a peep at the screen and saw that it was Dorian. Why was he calling me now? I ignored the call, silenced my phone, and turned back to Conrad. "I have made up my mind."He looked at me with a smile on his face."Is there any other reason why you finally made up your mind after so much time? It's been quite a while since I asked you to join my pack, and I know that you have been going through some

The door opened slowly, and Lucy walked in, all dressed like she was going out somewhere."You are still painting? Aren't you tired?""I am," I said wearily. "This picture just isn't coming together."“Then, in that case, I suggest that you drop the brush. Alexa and I are going out to explore the city. We've been cooped up in here since we got here, and I think we should explore. So, are you in? I looked at them and smiled. Lucy was right; maybe some fresh air would do me good, and maybe I could get inspiration to paint from the city."Okay. I'm in." "Great," Lucy clapped happily. "Alexa and I are downstairs. Meet us in the living room."She dashed out of my room, and I immediately began to rummage through my bag for something nice to wear.I finally settled on a pair of jeans and a sweater to curb the slightly chilly evening.I met Alexa and Lucy downstairs, and we

    Conrad’s POVI had my back turned to a large group of people that were standing in my room. “Any news so far? What is the word on the street? Are we making any progress?”The room was silent, and my personal aide was standing behind me. I looked out of the window, and from his reflection in the thick glass, I could tell he was shaking.“Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?My aide was sweating, and he slowly opened the document file after wiping his sweaty palms.“Speak!”“No…nothing yet, your highness. We haven’t heard any confirmation from the king, your father. He hasn’t hinted at anything, and I assure you, we are keeping strict tabs on him, morning and evening.”I heard what my aide said, and I turned to him angrily. I addressed him as if he had the answers to all the questions that I was asking.“So we are not making progress?" I asked, my brows creasing tightly. I had spent the last year using most of my resources to build my influence and reputation.Jonas hurriedly sh

We were gasping and trying to catch our breath when we bumped into a wandering Alexa.She looked terribly unhappy to see us, and her eyes darted from me to Lucy and back to me."Argghh! What are you brats doing here? Asked Alexa, visibly annoyed and irritated. "I don't know what your problem is,” Lucy pushed back. "I didn't know we would bump into your walrus-looking face. It's not like you own the place, you know.”“Lucy. It's alright,” I said softly to her. I didn't want a fight breaking out.“Well, she started it. She called us brats,” Lucy said in defence. I saw Alexa's face turning bright red, and she was on the verge of attacking Lucy when somebody softly tapped me on the shoulder.I turned around and saw the butler who had brought us. With his appearance, Lucy and Alexis's impending battle rapidly ended before it could even begin."Good evening, lad

Is it morning already?""Meow."I rubbed my eyes and sat up. My back ached, and I looked up at my painting. It wasn't done yet. I remembered putting my brush down for a quick power nap. I must have dozed off.I stood up and saw that the sun was up. I grabbed my brush and continued to paint. I had to get it done today. I resumed my artistic strokes, and I felt the creativity begin to flow anew.I had gotten several knocks at my door, but I ignored all of them. I was determined to get it done, and nothing would distract me...Knock! Knock!I groaned and finally decided to go to the door.I opened it and saw that it was a maid."Good morning, Miss April. I apologise for bothering you, but you are needed at the breakfast table."I nodded and headed back inside my room. Azura was on the bed meowing."I have to go for breakfast. I'll get you something

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

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 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

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

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
