Kendrick's POV"I said what was your rejection of my offer to bath with you supposed to mean?", Jenni declared boldly.What exactly was this supposed to mean? Since when did Jenni start talking back at me? And even if she wanted to begin firing words at me, this reaction was totally uncalled for."Jenni, are you feeling alright? Did you hit your head somewhere?", I asked her."I'm perfectly normal!""I'm actually not sure because your reasoning seems very disoriented right now. Are you genuinely trying to pick an argument with me just because I refused to let you have a bath with me?""You should know that the bath is not what I want", she pouted."I actually understand that fact very much.""Then how can you reject me despite knowing that? That is what is getting me angry," she vented. "It's been months since you last touched me, Kendrick. It's not like you have ever made a move on me without me initiating it but in the past weeks, I've attempted severally to get you to touch me but
Audrey's POV "Audrey," I heard as I found myself looking into the green eyes that I could never forget even in the years that I had been away from the pack. The eyes of my mate who rejected me minutes after finding out we were mates without caring that we were in public or minding how I felt. Kendrick's eyes. But the person who had called me wasn't him. He was in way too much shock and embarrassment to even think of calling my name, or at least the name I was called here in the Blood Moon pack. My name had come from someone else who was standing beside him. It was Jake, my childhood friend. What was he doing here with Kendrick? "Audrey, you're alive!", he yelled and took a large step towards me, probably intending to hug me but the tip of the sword of one of the guards beside me landed on his chest before he could complete the action. "Keep your distance from the princess," the guard growled and Jake quickly stepped back. The guard drew his sword back into its sheath once Jake
Audrey's POVI yawned loudly as my eyes slowly opened and stretched in the bed I was lying on. It was so comfy for a bed I was sleeping on for the first time and I loved it.To be honest, as at when I left the royal guestroom where my Jake, Kendrick, his Luna and my adoptive parents were, I wasn't sleepy one bit. I wasn't even tired either.Why would I even be tired when all I did was sit in a carriage? And whenever I got tired of sitting, I got down to walk a little bit before getting back in. I also had servants offering me fruits, food, water and everything I could need even though I wasn't interested and declined. My entire journey was wonderful.However, I needed to keep Kendrick waiting and that was not even all I intended to do. What I planned to do was to infuriate every single person that I was to deal with while here in Blood Moon. They all needed to pay.So yes, that was my motivation for saying that I wanted to rest. When I got to the room, my belongings were lying beside
Jake's POVIt had been hours since Audrey took her leave to rest before we discussed the state of the pack with her. She should have been awake by now but apparently, she wasn't because we had been waiting.The werecouncil had not minded waiting for her to wake up from her nap when informed that she wished to rest. Now however, they had become impatient and were already complaining, all feeling insulted by the Lycan kingdom.Was this actually what the Lycan kingdom planned? But Audrey wouldn't accept to do such, would she? Audrey would never accept to mess around with her elders just to show superiority like the werecouncil assumed she was.Audrey wouldn't abuse the privilege she had received to become a princess, the princess, of the Lycan kingdom.That was just Audrey though. I didn't know of Princess Emerald, because all this had made it obvious that Princess Emerald wasn't my friend, Audrey. They were two different personalities and I wasn't sure if Audrey was erased to create Pri
Audrey's POVI turned slowly with leaden feet on hearing Kendrick's voice call me and met his green eyes fixed on me."Is there anything you want? Why have you been following me?""Audrey...", he began but I raised up a hand."The Audrey you are looking for is dead, Princess Emerald is all that's left of her and you would do well to address her properly," I snapped then dropped my hand and his eyes narrowed slightly."Fine, Princess Emerald. I'm sorry for not addressing you as I ought to," he sighed."As you should be. Now what do you want?", I asked him while maintaining a fiery look on my face."How can you ask me what I want? You were informed before you retired to your room that we had arranged a meeting between some of the people of the pack and you. We even informed you that they were already prepared to meet with you but you said you needed to rest first and we let you do that," he complained."So if you truly agreed to me taking my rest, what is this confrontation about?", I f
Kendrick's POVEveryone 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
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
