DARIAN'S POVWhen I told her that I wanted to place my palm on her bare chest, she freaked out."No, no, no. That's not happening," she said rashly."Trust me, Elva. If we do this and it doesn't work, you can report me to your father," I said to her."No. That's not assuring," she fretted. "Just tell me that you're not a pervert.""I'm not a pervert, I promise," I said to her."I can't believe this is happening," she said. She looked so nervous, battling with the decision to proceed or not. She really needed to know whether she was a werewolf or not, and I could sense it in her that she didn't want to forfeit the opportunity of figuring that out.The cottage was shady. No one would be able to make out what we were doing from afar. "Trust me," I said to Elva.After a few more minutes of deliberating over what action to take, Elva finally gave in."Please, I hope you're not trying to trick me," she said."I'm not," I said, watching her as she undid two buttons from her shirt, revealing
SELENA'S POV"Have I been here all this while?" His question echoed in my head.Yes, of course. I had walked in on them hugging each other. How could he not choose me over that wolf-less girl who didn't even show any interest in him?Tears trickled down my cheeks as I stood there staring meanly at him."What is wrong, Selena?" He came close."Please, stop there," I barked.Since Elva came into the kingdom, she had been stealing everything from me. She stole the king's attention from me. She stole the maids' admiration from me. She stoked the tailor's praises from me. And now, she had stolen the man I was in love with."You and her... You're both terrible people!" I cried out, running into the castle.He didn't even make an attempt to stop me or chase after me.Two days later, Prince Darian was still in the castle. He was meant to have gone back home by now. I wondered what kept him still.“Beautiful Selena,” the king called me.“Yes, sir,” I answered, jolting out of my thoughts.We we
ELVA’S POVEveryone gazed at me like something was missing from a part of my face.I stopped chewing the chunk of pork I had in my mouth.“What?!”Father took in a deep breath. “Do you mean to tell me that you don’t remember training today?” Father asked her.“Master Stewart hasn’t come yet,” I said.No sooner than I had said that, Mother walked into the dining table. She had been in her room all this while. I heard she was worried sick about me and had slept off while complaining that I needed to stop having harsh training sessions.Lu ran into the dining room right after Mum had come in.“Who’s up for some night race?” Lu asked.“When I’m done eating,” Selena said.“I’m up too,” Prince Darian said. “Me too,” I joined in.Once again, all eyes gazed at me like something was off with my face, or rather with my voice this time.“I’m sorry you can’t join them. The physician has to come and take a look at you tonight,” Dad said.“But he can come when I’m back from racing,” I insisted, “
ELVA’S POVPrince Darian and I held hands and he led the way. We strolled to the castle gate where the guards were. They were about ten guards and they looked like they all had been waiting for us to come.“Bring it,” Prince Darian said to the guards. Immediately, two of them turned around and hurried off to the guard house. I gazed at Darian with suspense, wondering if he had a surprise for me. I was curious about what he had told the guards to bring. But if it was a surprise, then I’d better not ruin it by asking what it was.Just then, the two guards who had hurriedly left to bring what Darian had ordered them to, returned pulling a cart with them. The cart had something on it. But whatever it was had been covered with a thick and long brown material.“Now, come over and see what I have for you,” Prince Darian said to me, pulling me gently by my hand.I tiptoed over to his side anxiously. What could it be? What could he want to show me?Immediately, Prince Darian pulled the thick b
ELVA’S POVDarian and I got back into the castle and it was time to say goodnight. It had gotten pretty late now, and for the best, I needed to sleep early so I could wake up in time for tomorrow’s training.Still holding hands, we took the stairs as our rooms were both upstairs. “Would you like to watch the shooting stars another time?” Darian suddenly asked me.“Most definitely,” I said, bubbling with excitement about the one I saw already, “they’re really beautiful to watch. If they’ll fly by tomorrow, I’ll watch again.”“Really?”“Of course,” I nodded.“You won’t be bothered coming out at night with me?” He asked me.“I won’t,” I told him, “I mean, that’s just what I did tonight.”“But this is like a first time for you,” he said to me.“I know. But there’s a first time to everything, right?” “Sure,” he nodded.We had gone midway up the stairs when Darian suddenly pulled me to a stop. I was in front of him, so my feet came to a halt a step higher than where he stood.“Darian,” I
ELVA’S POVKnock! Knock! Knock!I grumbled, “Who could it be this early morning.”Just then, I recalled that Prince Darian and I had been at the stairs last night kissing for four hours. We’d stop, say goodnight to each other, and when we had moved the slightest inch away from each other, one of us would pull the other back and we’d initiate another round of kissing.Due to that, I went to bed very late. And whenever I went to bed late, I always woke up late.“Shit!” I kicked off the pillow and I couldn’t tell how it had gone from being under my head to being under my feet.I stood up from the bed immediately and went to get the door. I pulled it open immediately and met a fierce-looking Selena before my eyes.“Hey, sis. Good morning,” I said to her. I was expecting a maid, not her.She didn’t respond. Instead, she glanced at me with curiosity, her eyes studying me from my head to the sole of my feet. Her eyes went back up to my nipples which I hadn’t noticed was perky.She sniffed at
ELVA’S POV“What were you two doing with Wolfsbane?” Mother asked Darian and me. I had just woken up from a nap which I couldn’t recall when I had kicked it off. “What’s wolfsbane?” I asked her.But Darian spoke up just then, “She came with it to my room, but the moment I tried to take it away from her, I started feeling dizzy before I finally slumbered off.”Mum was silent for some seconds after listening to Darian’s explanation, but I was yet to understand the whole situation.“Is it the flower I brought to you?” I turned to Darian.“Yeah,” he said to me, “that’s the flower we call wolfsbane. It has the ability to weaken we werewolves.”“Really?” I asked him.“Yes,” Mother interfered, “Why would you bring it to our visitor? What if it had killed him?”She was furious. She’d usually endure whatever foolish thing I did, but for some reason, she couldn’t just let this one slide.“Mum, I didn’t know it would do anything to him,” I said, “I didn’t even know what it was.”“And why did y
DARIAN’S POV“Are you serious about what the king said?” I asked Elva.“Yes,” She nodded with tearful eyes, “He said he can’t let you stay further, especially when your father isn’t even aware of your whereabouts.”“My father is not a problem,” I frowned, “I just wish they never had differences.”“So, what are you going to do now?” Elva asked me, fighting back tears that wanted to come out.“I’ll beg him to let me stay until your birthday. After then, I can go home and seek my father’s permission to come here again,” I told her, “our parents have some differences which they need to settle. Else, I don’t see myself coming here again. If my father found out that I’ve been here for days now, he’ll surely get mad at me.”“What happened between them?” She inquired.“It is something that I don’t even know the slightest detail about,” I said to her, “but I’m pretty sure that whatever it is can be resolved.”“I pray so,” she said.I was dressing up to go to a dance festival that was going on
ELVA'S POVI was feeling very weak but surprised that the wolfsbane didn't affect me much. Almost as if I was going to die, I longed for Darian to come save me. I couldn't believe that I had been such a big fool who believed Nolan. I let him take such a big advantage on me.I heard noises like someone was fighting outside. I couldn't move, just sat there completely glued to the chair. My heart was pounding in my chest right now.The door suddenly burst open revealing Nolan. " You? What do you want?" I yelled at him.He didn't answer my question but just ran over to my side and untied me. " Let go of me, let go!"He gripped my hand tight. " We don't have much time and your stupid lover boy isn't here yet so I had to hurry back to get my men and save you," he explained.I didn't even have much strength. "Why isn't the wolfsbane affecting you?" He inquired." Because I'm a silver wolf," I answered him." Ohh," he trailed, nodding his head. " We better get going, I heard Haelstrom is unde
DARIAN'S POVElva hasn't come down and it's been quite some time now but yet I haven't even seen a glimpse of her. It was driving me insane because the palace was getting all filled up with Elva nowhere to be seen.I couldn't take it anymore and ran up to her room hoping that she would be there. I arrived and didn't even see Elva there. Her dress was still on top of the bed so that means she didn't go far.I checked the bathroom and closet but she was nowhere to be seen. My heart was pounding wondering where the hell she could have gone. I knew that she was so nervous but I never expected her to run away just like that.I should have tried harder. I didn't comfort her well and now she's gone, it's entirely my fault that she's gone. It's all my fault.I tried not to jump to any conclusions thinking that she probably wouldn't have gone far. I wanted to tell my beta but decided to just make sure that I could find her before jumping to conclusions.I called her phone multiple times but sh
ELVA's POVToday was D-day. I didn't feel any different rather I felt like nothing. I looked at my dress with different thoughts running through my mind, I didn't even know what to do or if I would ever be able to be a good Luna.I was sure that Darian didn't worry whether or not I was still with but it still troubled me daily and it's been very hard not to think about it. My body was somehow trying to correspond with my current situation.My face was filled with lots of unwritten expressions. I should have gotten ready but I couldn't bring myself to. I tried so hard not to give in to my thoughts but rather it was more disturbing to my mind, making my headache.I heard a knock on my door. I turned to go answer it. I opened it and saw Darian standing there looking charming as ever with such a handsome look. He was dressed in a normal black tuxedo and his head tied perfectly." You look charming," I complimented.He chuckled a bit and made a move to enter but I just blocked him. " This
NOLAN'S POVThe thought of having to lose my position weakened me. I couldn't visualize myself not being the alpha, I had to find a way to get Elva back at least to trick the people even if it's just for a little while.I thought that maybe I could try to get to them by using the nice guy stuff on them. I even tried making a great deal with Darian but that annoying asshole didn't even give a shit or cared about it.I thought that he would succumb to it once I promised to break the bond but it didn't help one bit. Instead, it made him more adamant and brutal and bluntly refused right to my face.I had to think of something and I had to get on with a plan fast otherwise all this would be gone. I noticed someone present in the room, I looked up at him only to find out that it was just a guard. The last thing I needed right now was bad news." What do you want?"" Good afternoon alpha," he greeted. " You have a guest," he told me.I raised my head, wondering who the guest could be. I knew
DARIAN'S POVI knew that the guy could never be nice. I knew that he was up to something which was definitely for his benefit. It was easy to grasp that this was just all of his plan and a way to make him let go of Elva so he could finally get what he's been longing for.I didn't know whether or not to tell Elva about it trying not to get her stressed out. We've only been back at his pack for a week now but a lot had been going on, I didn't want to stress her much, especially with the fact that her coronation was coming up.I shrugged off the thought and decided to go for a swim. I changed into just my boxers and jumped into the pool at once. It was just some kind of way for me to relax my body and let out all of my inner stress.Nolan could come ahead and fool anyone but he's most definitely not going to fool me because I could easily see right through his plan. It was more than clear that this was all of his motive and plan.I decided in my mind that I would try my best to make sure
DARIAN'S POVThe dead weight of what I had gotten myself into was mortifying. I didn't mean to lash out at Fabian just like that in front of everyone but I had just had more than enough from him and wanted nothing more but to just put him back in his place.I heard a knock on my door. I immediately composed myself and had to clear my throat before attending to the person at the door."It's me, Logan," I heard him say.I heaved a big sigh and drastically opened the door with different emotions popping up in me. " What do you want?" I asked, not really in the mood to see him" I came here to see you," he replied.I further opened the door, giving him more access to my room. He entered my room. " Sit," I offered him a chair not far from the couch.He sat down on the chair looming around the room. I could easily tell that he was hesitant to talk probably because of how intimidating I was sometimes and now he's debating in his mind." Are you going to speak or should I chase you out?" I thr
DARIAN'S POV" Are you kidding me? So you're telling me that he wants the throne instead?" Elva asked after I narrated the entire incident to her.I nodded in response and my eyes widened with shock. She tried eating something but right at the same time, no words came out of her mouth. She just kept quiet for a minute." So, what are your plans now?" She finally spoke up.I didn't even know whether or not I had a plan but something was for sure and it was making things more and more intense for me. My head was stuck with lots of mess." He just thinks that I'm not capable enough but I'll make sure to prove to him that it's beyond what he thinks," I said.She looked at me with a warm smile on her face as my beta came in with some sort of worried look on his face. I prayed and hoped that it wasn't any sort of trouble because I had to deal with more than enough." Good evening alpha Darian," he greeted, with a slight bow.I immediately ushered him back up, trying not to stress him much s
ELVA'S POV I seldom sat at the window side, counting all the days it's been without Ruya. He was finally gone and that empty feeling was back there in me once again, it was a feeling of pain and pure relief.My new wolf — Stephano wasn't a pain in the ass like Ruya and that was exactly what I liked about her. She may seem rude but rather she was lively and we got along well in such a way that even I couldn't describe it.I got off my feet and left the room deciding to go for a walk round the garden. I've been indoors for quite some time now and now I've subdued the fact that all I needed was just a little outing to get me going.I decided to let off the guards but they weren't too far off from me either. I just had to have them with me in case of anything and speaking of trouble, that was when I noticed Nolan not too far away.I made sure to stay at a safe distance where it would be easy to alarm the guards in case anything happened. I thought of walking over to him to try to get to
FABIAN’S POV"What do you mean she's a silver wolf?" I yelled out loud.I couldn't have been more furious with this discovery that had just been made. I can't believe that the more I thought that I was closer to achieving my goal, the more it was becoming useless for me.The girl whose name was Celia shrieked as I thundered loudly at her. My heart was totally pierced right now with this new maud discovery wishing I had known earlier which was why I made her go as a spy to the palace.She told me that some maids got a clue of what she was doing and just what she was up to. I couldn't let anyone discover what we've been up to so I made sure that she found a way to get rid of them.I had always kept a good reputation and couldn't risk having Darian suspecting me otherwise that would just ruin my entire plan and she would be the cause of it. I couldn't go back now so if she was planning anything she had better back down otherwise I would kill her with my own bare hands.She didn't even re
