Readers' POV After they both marked each other, they shared a really nice kiss and after so many hours of talking, imagining their futures together, they finally slept. The next morning, Audrey jolted from the bed and she opened her eyes instantly. She looked around and she saw Kendrick sleeping peacefully, with his hand lying lazily on her waist. She had thought that her mating with Kendrick was a really good dream that she badly wanted to come to pass. She touched her neck and she could still feel the heat from last night. She pushed her head into the pillow and smiled. It wasn't a dream at all. It really happened. She turned her head to face Kendrick. She didn't want to wake him up, but she couldn't help touching his face, nose, hair and literally everything her hand could touch at that moment. She was touching his hair, when her eyes went to his lips and she started using her index finger to trace the little line around his lips. She was really enjoying what sh
Epilogue Readers' POV "Uggh!" William groaned as he arched his back. He loosened his grip on Kendrick and staggered backwards. Kendrick coughed and sat up tiredly. He finally noticed that an arrow had pierced the back of William's head. There was not healing or coming back from that! Kendrick sighed in relief and looked around for the person who shot it. From the balcony on the second floor, he saw Jenni standing there with her bow drawn. She seemed to be shocked by what she had just done as she stared wide eyes at her bow. Jenni came back! That was shocking, after she suddenly left him because he went back to Audrey. Kendrick diverted his gaze back to William, who had now collapsed on the floor. He seemed to stare longingly in a particular direction as the light faded from his eyes and he went on a journey to the underworld. He looked in the direction William was looking and saw that he was staring at Audrey! Annoying prick! He just didn't want to let her
Aubrey POVIt was almost like I had this feeling like something was about to happen, and it wasn't something good.I had always been good with prediction but regardless of what was about to happen, I’m pretty certain that it couldn’t be any worse than the scolding that I had listened to through out the ride for letting Rosaline fall from my hands.Today was Kendrick’s homecoming and the night he would pick a mate ahead of coronation coming up in two weeks. I didn’t know how to feel about his coming because of our very uncertain past, which ended on a bad note.Maybe that was the reason I was feeling so uneasy.All thanks to the light make – up I had on, I looked at least reasonable to face him, as we got to the door, mom pulled me closer to her and whispered harshly “I would rather not be embarrassed by anyone here, let the mating ball go as it should”.I wonder how she must be feeling knowing she had to bring me with her, the last ball we had attended, I made a total fool of myself a
Kendrick's POV The noise surrounding from all the chatters around suddenly became silenced and my sense of hearing channeled in on her approaching steps. My Mate was finally here, the main reason why this was even going on in the first place. My wolf howled happily while I paced impatiently, to say I was excited was an understatement because knowing that the woman that was about to make me Alpha was just a few steps away made me feel all giddy. it was definitely the bond causing me act this way...on a normal day oi can’t imagine myself being this happy to unveil someone's look. Her scent was heavenly and she carried a vanilla fragrance filling me up with so much anticipation to see the woman behind the door. As she walked slowly her scents filled my nostrils the more making me drunk with her scent even before seeing her, my eyes became focused on the door as I waited for her to enter. Suddenly it sounded like she was halted and I could hear her gasp slowly. She sounded tense an
Aubrey’s POVWith a loud gasp, I jerked up to see myself in a dark place. It felt as though I had just been pulled out of water. I closed my eyes in a bid to try remember how I ended up here but came up with nothing which meant one thing I was either dead or a miracle had taken place.Unconsciously my hand moved to the position where I had bashed my head against the rock while battling with high tides, as my hand traced over that spot it surprised me that I wasn’t bleeding anymore neither did it hurt like before.Seeing the place healed and not bleeding, without being told anything, I stood gently gazing around everywhere which by the way was pitch black and upon every step I took the darkness surrounded her me.Memories of myself drowning flashed making me wince and shut my eye, it was dark and I could feel myself sinking down below with his words surrounding me and clouding my mind. This point it then hit me that I did what I have always done all these years…I ran and let him win w
Kendrick's POV"Good day, Alpha king", a guard greeted me as I walked into the dining area of the palace and I nodded in response.The maids greeted me also and I gave them a general nod before taking my seat at the head of the table. The table was already laden with the array of meals prepared for today and once I was seated, a maid immediately walked over to fill my plate.She was just opening the bowl when I felt my wife walk into the room and turned around to confirm what my wolf had already detected. The maid paused to look in the direction I was facing and drew away from the table on seeing her Luna had arrived."Good morning, Luna", I heard the maids greet but she ignored them as usual and smiled at me."Good morning""Good morning, Jenni", I replied just as she stopped beside me and noticed that I was in the middle of being served."Sorry I was late", she apologized and continued what the maid had been doing.I preferred having my wife serve me breakfast and only let the maids
Kendrick's POV It had been two weeks since the emergency werecouncil meeting in which I was informed of the calamity that had befallen the Blood Moon pack. In this two weeks, the total number of cases had doubled and the epidemic had reached the upper part of town where the palace was located. Some of the palace workers had even fallen to the disease and two of the werecouncil members too. Jake and I had been trying different ways to make the wolves switch back to their human form but there was no success. We had even come to realize that the werewolves didn't retain their sense of reasoning in that form so they couldn't be left untamed as they were dangerous. Many sacrifices had even been made to the Moon goddess by the priests who seemed to be suffering the disease even more than everyone else but there was no success. None of the men were having visions either so we were truly helpless at the moment. The priests had also tried different spells on the wolves to make them chang
Jake's POVI felt a shiver run through my body as the werecouncil men announced that the Blood Moon pack was cursed. My brain immediately ran into overdrive as different questions coursed into my mind.How could the pack get cursed without anyone knowing? And why would someone curse the pack? Which of the pack members would curse the pack? How would we find the person and request for a reversal of the curse?'Some curses reverse by themselves with time and others require sacrifices or other things', I remembered one of the councilmen saying and frowned.'How long would the curse last if it was to get reversed by itself? What would be the requirements to neutralize the curse that was placed on my pack?', I wondered."What is this curse? When did it happen? I have only been Alpha for about two years and so far, I haven't developed any enemies", Kendrick asked when he finally spoke up.He was right though, I hadn't even considered the question he asked at all. What I had been concerned a
