Kendrick's POV

Everyone in the room suddenly kept quiet as Audrey announced that we would have to fulfill a condition before she would decide to stay in the pack. I didn't like the sinister smile on her face presently and was desperately hoping that she would ask for something we could give to her.

"What I want to have before I can decide to stay in this pack until the blood moon and do whatever you all need me to do on that day is...", she began and I shivered slightly. "The rulership of this pack," she concluded and it felt like a bomb was dropped in the room.

My ears suddenly hurt as if the pressure in the room was too much and the men immediately began muttering amongst themselves in confusion and outrage.

"Princess Emerald, what is this about?"

Jake was even composed enough to try challenging her. I couldn't even move any part of my body due to the extreme shock. Was this the reason why the haughty Lycan kingdom stooped low enough to send their princess here? So that they could t

    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    How Dare You

    Kendrick's POV Audrey and Jenni were standing face to face, their eyes locked in a heated stare-down and I could do was stare at them. Why did Jenni act so rashly? Why was she losing her calm so easily these days? The fate of the pack was fully dependent on Audrey at this point in time and Jenni knew that. Why was it that all she wanted to do right now was still to pick a fight with Audrey despite knowing that? "Why would I mind my tone while speaking to a weakling who merely became someone important by accident?" Jenni growled. "I'm still more important than you could ever be, whether by accident or merit so shut your mouth," Audrey fired back. "I can't believe you would even think about taking control of my pack, Who do you think you are?" "Why don't you ask me that in a few days when I've become the ruler of this pack?" Audrey replied, her voice calm and steady. "Rulership of a pack is the job of the Alpha and Luna, why are you trying to go against the general rule of werew

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Guilty

    Audrey's POV I can't believe that the fool Kendrick married had actually come here to yell at me. I had been tempted to leave her shouting at my door till she realized how stupid she was but Kendrick and Jake just had to come and start dragging her away. That was so boring. Since I was bored anyway and wanted to see for myself how despondent they were, I decided to step out of my room for a moment. After all, I could just walk back in if I realized that the situation was not as entertaining as I thought it would be. It turned out to be quite interesting though... Jenni kept yappering and something about her unprovoked hostility made me feel like we knew each other when I was still living in this pack. But where could I have known her from that she would be so hostile towards me? I never annoyed anyone while I was in the pack, they only bullied me for no reason. That kind of hostility could only be as a result of a beef between the both of us. I didn't remember anything though, I

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    His Decision

    Kendrick's POV I paced back and forth in my study with my thoughts racing faster than they had in a long while. I knew what I had to do, but that didn't make it any easier. I took a deep breath and turned to face Jake. "Jake, I've made a decision," I began firmly. "What decision exactly?" Jake questioned. "About the situation with Audrey," I muttered and took another deep breath. "I'm going to hand over my position as Alpha to Audrey," I breathed out and Jake's eyes widened in surprise. "What?" He exclaimed. "You know that she demanded it in exchange for helping our pack, it's the only option that we have right now," I spread out my arms in a shrug and Jake shook his head in disbelief. "Kendrick, you can't just decide to hand over your position like that." "I know but Audrey's reaction yesterday has proven that she will not back down in her request to get rulership of the pack before she would stay here and help us. Besides, she has obviously been trained as a lycan princess

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Stay

    Kendrick's POV I could hear my strides echo as I walked through the corridor in the palace making my way to Audrey's room. It was the morning of the fourth day and we hadn't received any reply from the Lycan King which meant just one thing; I had to hand over power to Audrey. There was no other way if I wanted her to remain in the pack and give us her assistance. As I approached Audrey's room, I could feel my heart pound harder and harder in my chest. By the time I arrived at the door, my palms were filled with sweat. I couldn't believe that I had made this decision three days ago but I was still so reluctant now that it was time. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door only to get no answer. I knocked again, this time louder but still got no response so uneasily tried the handle. It was improper to open a female's room like this and I definitely wouldn't do this if this was a normal situation but I was presently desperate. She had said that she would leave on the fourth da

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Your New Leader

    Kendrick's POV I huffed as I strode out of my private office and turned to Jake who was waiting at the door. "It's done," I informed him and he sighed heavily. Audrey and her guard had come back to the palace on two horses provided by the border patrol guards and she and I had come into my private office to discuss the details of the handover. From what we decided, there wasn't going to be much difference between me being in charge and her being in charge except that I had to inform her of everything I did and she would always get credit as the ruler of the pack. Now that I had done this and discussed how things would go, it actually didn't seem so bad. "Summon all the pack members so that I can announce the handover to them," I instructed him and he bowed solemnly. Giving up power was not something Alphas did lightly and there would be resistance but what had already been done couldn't be fought against. "I'll summon the pack and try to make sure they are here as soon as possi

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Guilty

    Kendrick's POV Once I introduced Audrey to the people, the guards called for everyone to bow and I could see them begin to bow even though they seemed reluctant. Once they had all bowed, we waited for Audrey to give a speech and at least acknowledge the people since they had acknowledged her. I mean since she was a princess, we thought that she would have already known that was the next thing to do but she wasn’t saying anything. She was just watching the people with a strange look in her eyes. All I perceived from her was a feeling of satisfaction and another feeling that I just couldn’t explain what it was. I was still scared that Audrey was taking out a revenge meant for just me on the entire pack and the thought made me feel guilty. What was I going to do to appease her? Was this the end of her revenge? Or did she have more planned? I didn't even know. It soon began to feel like she wasn’t going to say anything so I whispered to Jake to inform her that we needed her to addres

  • Return of the Rejected Lycan Princess    Her Rules

    Audrey's POV As I sat on the throne with my legs crossed, I couldn’t help but think that maybe what I was doing was wrong, maybe these people didn’t deserve what I planned to do to them. I was almost beginning to feel sorry for them when I remembered what my life was like back here when I was just a weak female who couldn’t get her wolf. I didn’t feel any good about myself when I was here. ‘No, I shouldn’t feel sorry at all,’ I thought and looked at Kendrick where he was standing. ‘These people didn’t do anything when Kendrick humiliated me. They still ended up making him the Alpha of their pack. Well, I wonder if Kendrick even told them the truth at all.’ I watched the werecouncil members exit the throne room after I let out my growing impatience to get the priest so that I could officially be crowned queen. Jake and Kendrick didn’t leave with them. Well, I had asked Kendrick to stay and get a message from me but as for Jake, I didn’t know why the hell he stayed back. But they

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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.
