Kendrick's POV

I hadn't realized that the maze path was so narrow until Audrey and I were to go in together. I had to walk behind her so that we wouldn't be too close to each other.

"So this should be the first set of crossroads in the maze," she muttered as we found ourselves facing two paths.

"Let's go to the right," I declared and she chuckled.

"No, let's go to the left," she countered and my mouth fell open.

"How is that even logical?"

"I don't know, I just trust my instincts when it tells me that the left path is the appropriate direction to take," she argued.

"But the aim is to get to the center of the maze and that is obviously..."

"Fine, let's go to the right if that's what you want since you're the one who instigated this second maze journey," she cut me off making me surprised as I didn't expect her to concede so easily or ever concede at all.

"I..."

"Are you doubting yourself now?" She taunted and that was all it took for me to regain my focus.

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    An accident in the maze

    Audrey's POV My heart was still beating at a faster pace as I continued walking in the maze with Kendrick behind me. We had been so close just seconds ago and just his touch and proximity made my mind start... I couldn't even explain the feeling. "Audrey?" His voice softly spoke up and I could tell that he had something he wanted to talk about but still decided not to let him speak while referring to me as Audrey. "Do you want to die before you stop this habit of calling me Audrey?" I questioned him in a soft but threatening tone. "I'm sorry, Queen Emerald, your old name just slips out sometimes," he muttered. "Why were you trying to get my attention in the first place?" I asked shortly after he stopped speaking, trying to hide my eagerness to hear what he wanted to say. "Oh... I just wanted to ask you something," he slowly revealed. "What do you want to ask?" "I want to know why you care if I have any regret from using my head to take decisions alway," he softly enquired an

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Unnoticed again

    Audrey's POV I immediately jumped away from Kendrick, raising my hands to my lips in shock. It was my first kiss, a peck more like or even mere brush of lips but with Kendrick just like I had dreamed of back when I was still stupid, except that it was an accident. He had pulled me up with too much force and that made our bodies collide, including our heads and consequently, our lips as he was only slightly taller me which I had not even realized till now. "You have a strong head," Kendrick chuckled, lifting his hand to his forehead as his eyes darted towards my face and I immediately took my hands away from my lips so that he wouldn't notice. "I guess so," I muttered. He did not even realize what just happened... As usual, he was unaware of what he had done to me. "Let's continue walking," I urged, quickly getting over my hurt and Kendrick nodded. "So where are we heading now?" "Away from that snake," I muttered, now feeling slightly embarrassed

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Deciding to move on

    Audrey's POV I...I didn't want to accept it, but I felt so warm and safe in his big arms. Subconsciously, I pushed my body further into his and slowly wrapped my hands around him.. For a second, it seemed like i felt him stiffen against me. But, the feeling was gone as fast as it came. He pulled me even closer, and breathed in my scent. I shut my eyes. That was the first time I noticed how good Kendrick smelled, his wolf too. I could stay in his arms forever. We were in that position for as long as I could think, until when I heard another ruffling sound coming from the path ahead of us. It was coming closer, as every second passed. I jolted back from Kendrick, and stared deeply into his confused eyes before turning back to face what was to come. I couldn't tell what it was, or who...it could be. Suddenly, I felt some strong arms around me, and turned around to see Kendrick frowning at the same spot I was staring at. He pushed me to his back, and guarded me w

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Unsettled

    Kendrick's POV I had been walking towards the throneroom when I saw everyone coming out. I immediately asked what was happening and was told that the Queen wanted to have a conversation with her Lycan guard so asked everyone to leave. My first thought was that she was planning something against this pack for her to require privacy which meant that I had to be there. She would probably sniff me out since her wolf was active as a lycan but I still felt like I needed to risk it. Maybe they would be too preoccupied with talking to notice me. Or she wouldn't recognize my scent and mix it up with that of the guards outside. The second seemed very much unlikely so I was just going to hope that the first would happen. As I moved on, I saw Eric walking out of the door leading to the throneroom and stealthily slipped into a room along the corridor. I slowly stuck my head out after several minutes and saw that he was no more in the corridor so strode forward. "... are reluctant to particip

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Surprised

    Jenni's POV I was in the royal garden with the maids overseeing as they gathered the flowers that would be placed in the flower vases inside the palace when I noticed men trooping out the doors of the palace. I figured that they were the werecouncil members and the other people who Kendrick invited to welcome the Lycan Princess which turned out to be that brat, Audrey. That suspicion made me pay more attention to them and I noticed that their body postures were totally giving off annoyance and so much negativity. I was too far off to know exactly which emotions they were radiating but it was obvious they were annoyed. Or did Audrey not come out to see them? That stupid girl had told us that she was going to check out her room and rest a little bit shortly after she arrived. We couldn't try to stop her or convince her to just see the people who were waiting for her so we let her go off. The werecouncil members and the other men even believed that she wouldn't take too much time

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    The new dawn

    Audrey's POV I yawned loudly as I woke up and looked out the window. The sun was presently at its zenith, which meant that I had been sleeping for about five hours or more. Nothing could compare to a good night's sleep though. I frowned at the memory of the battle and even more on remembering that the Alpha of the invading pack had gotten away. He was really smart to have edged away from the hottest parts of the fight. I also felt slightly bad that the people had to experience a battle in their present state all because of me. It would just have to be the price of having me here in their pack. I just hoped that nothing else happened though. That just brought something else to mind. The occurrence of that attack reminded me that I was supposed to have sent my parents to the Lycan kingdom. I needed to arrange for that immediately. "Eric!" I called out and got no response. "Eric!" I repeated but it seemed he was not nearby. I stood up from my bed and immediately went to the bathr

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Punished again

    Audrey's POV I watched with a heavy heart as Kendrick lay there on the ground crumpled and in pain. That was usual with whenever he was given the punishment of flogging but today however, he lay there a little longer than usual and it was slightly worrying. His behavior since we met after resting from the battle had been weird also and I didn't know what to think. In the throneroom, he had been strangely in a good mood and even light-heartedly challenged me multiple times. One would think that with how much I emphasized on respect, I would be angry about that but surprisingly, I liked it. I liked his facial expressions while he tried to change my mind on different issues and continually failed. When he finally left the throneroom, I couldn't stay there for too long before I had the desire to see him again. It was crazy, I knew it but I still wanted to do it anyway. But when I finally saw him, he was saying something that made me feel slightly angry. Okay, maybe it wasn't just sli

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    What is wrong with me

    Aubrey's pov. Kendrick hesitated only briefly but he seem to think it better before rising. He nodded once and disappeared out of my sight. I almost smiled, it felt really good letting out my hatred on him. Though I had to admit it wasn't as strong but the desire to revenge overshadowed everything else. I was freed with nothing to do at the moment, my parents had insisted on going to prepare for their journey tomorrow. I suspected dad knew I had an ulterior motive which was why he declared tomorrow as their departure day. Whichever one, my lycan parents would take over after their arrival. Eric was away at the moment too, something about helping them prepare. I walked towards the kitchen having recalled that I had accepted the maid's decision to eat. "My lady." A ginger haired maid greeted. I waved at her and demanded to have my food sent to the dining. Something in me just wanted to be out so eating in my room felt negative. I sat at the dining crossed leg and awaited my breakfa

    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

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Williams, oh Williams.

    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

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    I belong to you now

    Kendrick's POV "Find him!" My voice boomed across the kitchen and Audrey flinched as well as the rest of the sentries who scampered out after my outburst. "Hey," I said softly, reaching for Audrey, but she flinched again, breathing hard and fast, staring at the direction in which Williams had gone, eyes wide with fear and despair. "Ar--" A whimper escaped her and I hated that I could smell her fear. I hated that she trembled so much. It hadn't been long since I had made her go through the same fear. I had made those tears drop from her eyes, broken her spirit, broken her heart, and...seeing her now, with the same fear in her eyes…I hated myself for everything I had done to her. "Audrey," I said, barely able to hear my voice over my raging heart. Audrey didn't either as her sobs began in full earnest. It was like I didn't exist. She couldn't see me. Or hear me. She was scared out of her mind. "Audrey!" I roared, unable to keep my wolf at bay. Her gaze snappe

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Williams is here

    Audrey's pov Inside my room, we lay cuddled against each other, as we slept soundly. Time ticked by slowly. I soon untangled myself from Kendrick and turned to the other side of the bed while sleeping. I began to fidget little by little. My face soon morphed into a frown. I began shaking my head subtly from left to right. My body tensed and I instantly shot up. I was panting like I had just run a marathon. My eyes were dazed and unfocused as I seemed not to see everything around me. Kendrick also woke up after he heard my panting. When he looked towards me and saw my disheveled state, panic and worry settled in him. He crawled out from under the covers briskly as he came to stop before me. He saw that I was totally unfocused so he cradled my face and made me look into his eyes. He already had a vague idea of what happened. "Baby! Look at me! You are all right! I'm here! I'll always be here. He cannot hurt you!" He comforted as he rubbed my face soothingly.

    Audrey's povDays later... When I saw Kendrick looking like he was half dead in Eric's hands, my heart skipped so many beats and I ran towards him. At the moment, I was just thinking one thing; Kendrick. My eyes were so focused on him. When I was just a few steps away from him, Eric stretched his hand forward, to stop me from moving any closer to Kendrick. When he did that, I looked up at him with confusion written all over my face. I didn't know why Eric stopped me from hugging Kendrick when he clearly needed my hug more than ever. "I'm still the queen, don't forget that,"I I said, and ignored his stretched out hand. I tried moving closer to him, but this time, I continued pushing his hand. I backed away from Eric and Kendrick and I left the way for him to bring Kendrick in. I walked past him and I went to the bed without answering Eric. When I got to the bed, I grabbed his hands and I placed soft kisses on both of them. I dropped the left one and I raised

    Kendrick's POV After checking her, the doctor confirmed that she was okay, and slowly woke her up. When the doctor left, I tried convincing Audrey to sleep, but she continued refusing as I continued asking. She looked really tired and I knew that she was going to pass out if she didn't sleep in the next few seconds, so I didn't give up. I still continued telling her to sleep, but she wasn't having it at all. It got to a stage and I started begging her to sleep. "Please, just sleep. For me? You can do that for me, can't you?" I tried making puppy dog eyes, but it didn't work. It only made her laugh loudly at how ridiculous I looked. She hit my shoulder playfully and she told me that she was fully awake, even when her eyes were closing every second. "Of course, I can do that for you." I looked into her eyes and asked her, "what's the problem, then? I knew I was never important to you." I removed her hand from my hand and slightly pushed her away in a playful mann

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Audrey is awake!

    Kendrick's POV After we saw that Audrey was now stabilized, we took her back to the pack house to rest properly. I stayed with her till it was late, and I went back to my room because I knew that if Audrey was awake, she would have been so angry at me spending the night in her room, regardless of the situation. I sat on my bed as I held on to my head, memories of what had happened earlier replaying in my head again. I screamed in anger as I threw my pillow to the floor, as that scene kept replaying in my head. I dragged the duvet off the bed and started ripping it with my bare hands, imagining it to be the leader of the rogues. Still angry, I went to the vase on the table, picked it and started smashing it against the wall and while I did that, I imagined it to be the leader’s head. To continue, I started kicking against the wall angrily, while I screamed in anger and pain. I fell to the ground as I punched against it in anger, hatred and betrayal. I kept on seei

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    The sacrifice

    Audrey's pov After everything, I started hearing some noises outside. It sounded like a fight was going on, or about to start. That caught my attention, as I stormed out to check. Oh no! Just like I thought, a fight was really going on, but it was just a fight, it was more like a war. The rogue pack that we fought with recently were back, and they seemed like they were in for a big one. The leader stood in front of them, and glared at me. Slowly, I backed away out of fear and suddenly felt someone's hand around mine. I flinched, and was about moving away when I saw that it was Kendrick;he stood beside me in defense, with his eyes fixed on the rogues pack. "Why are you here? Aren't you scared to be back here?" Eric shouted from the back of us, and I glanced back to see the whole pack members assembled behind us. The leader chuckled inwardly, before the dirty frown settled on his face again. "We are not here for any of you, we are here for him," he said, po

    Maria shook her head as she began to speak frantically. "I'm sorry my lady... I mixed up the plates... it's my fault, I got confused." The stupid girl couldn't do a job properly and almost got me killed. The poison wasn't meant to kill anyway, a good thing since I ended up talk it. It was meant to weaken and cause Aubrey pain, so she wouldn't be able to keep seducing my husband and acting all mighty for days. I deepened me elbow and I saw her wince in pain. "So you tried to kill me?" I said. "No,.. no.. my lady. I would never do that... It was a mistake!" Maria was hysteric, pleading with all that she had, she was crying already, her eyes red. "You know what would happen if I say that you were the one who poisoned the food right? Because in a way you did" Maria nodded now full on bawling, she clasped her fingers over her mouth to prevent her cries from echoing. "Please my lady..
