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
Kendrick's POV "Alpha and Beta," the guards saluted as Jake and I stopped our horses in front of the palace. It was early sunrise and we were just returning from the imperial city as we had slept there before beginning to return at first light. We got off our horses and handed over the reins to the guards before heading inside the palace. "Welcome back," we heard Jenni's voice say shortly after walking in and turned around only to see her just walking in. "Thank you, Luna. You're looking beautiful today as usual," Jake grinned and she chuckled. "Jenni, good morning," I smiled and she kissed my cheeks on getting to where I stood. "Wow Luna, did you miss your husband so much for only an overnight trip?," Jake teased and she blushed. "So are you going to get more rest or would you love to have food now?" "Food all the way," Jake replied and she turned to me. I shrugged in support and she began leading us to the dining room. Once we entered, we took our seats while the maids g
Kendrick's POV"What does it say?," Jake prompted again excitedly, obviously sensing that the letter bore good news."It says that... The Lycan King received our letter requesting for a member of his family to lodge with us till the blood moon, he is also sorry about the curse that we were facing and has also heard of a curse that the Lycan kingdom once faced that was caused by a similar reason. He is speculating that it might be the same curse that is plaguing our pack now and...""Kendrick! Get to the main point!," Jake complained and I chuckled, not wanting to tell him everything just yet. "Are you really messing with me right now?""He however complained about sending a member of the royal family out for so long and how that person would end up being late to the blood moon festival of their pack," I continued, ignoring his complaint. "And he told us that the royal family actually didn't have so many members.""So they wouldn't be sending anyone to us?," Jake asked with his excitem
