Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 22: To rule a heart
To forget that Zehra was destined to marry a man who scared her beyond words, to forget how cruel and manipulating him and how utterly miserable her future looked at him, she heaved a sigh. She knew she would never escape from this nightmare. "I shouldn't keep you from your meal," Argus said. "Come, I'll escort you back." Argus interrupted her thoughts as she nodded with a small forced smile, trying to forget the million grey things that flooded her mind. "Can we go this way? I haven't had a tour of the place," Zehra admitted, her heart yearning for her own home. Argus nodded with grins as he led her there, explaining everything to her. "What is that?" Zerha asked, pointing to a flowing fountain, mocking him a little. "And that is a fountain," Argus answered, his tone quite serious. "How utterly magic! Of course, my poor eyes have never seen a fountain before," she said, and his cheek flushed as she laughed."Ohhh.""I'm not retarted as you take me for," she added playfully."F
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 23: Plan for the wedding and mating
Zehra could hate him as much as she could; she's still his. She's the only moon who shone brightly in his darkened life. And he's not going to let go. Putting on some clothes, he combed his wild and long hair back neatly, his hands rubbing the side of the beard that grew on his face. Turning, he left for the terrace. The terrace was his favorite place to dine. Reserved for the royals alone and special meetings, he is often here alone or with Letisha. This place was the place that his father built for him. He ordered a servant to fetch Zehra for lunch with him since yesterday he still had some hangover from the moon's pull, and seeing her with Argus added to the anger he suppressed. And Cade decided he would start playing 'nice' for her. Walking to the spacious terrace, he saw Zehra sitting on his chair, looking out at the beautiful view of his kingdom and the river that crosses it. Zehra's innocent yet fierce beauty had long captured him, and the beast of him approved. Both agree
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 24: She's in Danger
"I don't want to marry you. Never. So, what if I say no? How will the wedding and mating ceremony take place then?" Zehra replied, dropping her food on the plate."You won't say no," Cade said; his voice was slow but laced with such ferocity, and his eyes switched colors. His wolf was trying to take over, and Zehra couldn't help but shudder. "Why can't I? You have taken everything from me: my peace, life, and happiness. You took away the chance of me meeting my mate, and yet you have not taken my voice about marriage and everything! I will never marry you. Never!" she yelled, standing up. Cade stood up, too, his eyes dark and his elongated canines showing. He walked towards her, grabbed her hand, and pinned her to the balcony railing.Zehra screamed from fear as she looked down, her entire body bent just over so that if he wanted, he could throw her down. "I try to be nice to you, and this is what I get? Why are you being such a bitch? Listen to me carefully, little rabbit; no matt
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 25: Drugged
"Yes. And roses, please," Cade said, running a hand through his hair. "Aah, the future Queen doesn't like roses. It's a beautiful flower, but she hates them. She likes these wild peonies," Edward answered, picking them out. Cade frowned. She did? She definitely surprised him. "Have you met her?" he asked, and Edward nodded. "She's a kind she-wolf, your majesty. She's like a rose but with the humility of peonies," Edward said, handing him a bunch. Cade smiled, thanking him as he hurried to walk to her room. He hoped Zehra's gentle peony soul could try forgiving him. Cade frowned when he saw no guards that should be guarding outside. Why were there no guards? Where are they?Opening the door, the sight in front of him enraged him. A man on top of Zehra and other men surrounding like a freakish pervert and watching his Zehra! Cade's grip on the peonies became tight until his knuckles were white, and the fragile peonies bent down, giving in to his brutal grip. He shifted into his
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 26: A deadly combination of Herbs
"I'll stay here," Cade huffed, and Eadric nodded, leading him to the big sofa set on the side. The doctor immediately set to work, cleaning his now-opened wound and stitching it up again. The master entered shortly after with his kit. He was old, but he was among the best masters in the entire kingdom, equipped with a keen sense of smell and sight. Cade didn't believe in any herbal medicine alone. But he believes in poison, just like the deadly Wolfsbane. Cade can ingest large portions of Wolfsbane, which wouldn't affect it. His people would wonder why those deadly substances weren't affecting him. And Cade would only shut his mouth, keeping his secret alone. The maestro sat next to Zehra and mixed a few herbs in his drink. "What was the last thing she ate or drank?" he asked, his voice calm and soothing. "I brought her milk…like I-I do every night with honey," Ember spoke, her voice trembling as she fearfully glanced at Cade once. Cade gritted his teeth. "The drug given to her
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 27: The kiss
"What are you doing out of bed?" The voice asked, concerned as Zehra peeked up at the man. She felt his hand pull back from her lips as she looked down, trying to calm her racing heartbeat. For a moment, she had been scared to death he was those same men who tried to rape her. Zehra shuddered at the memory. The man was Argus. "I wanted to get some water," she spoke, hugging herself. Argus looked down at her. She looked so vulnerable and fragile right now; he felt like hugging her close, kissing her- doing anything to make her feel alright. "I'll get it for you then. You shouldn't be out here alone; how's your fever?" Argus asked as he walked over to the kitchen and poured her a glass of water. Zehra watched him."I don't know, but I feel alright now," Zehra replied, taking the glass from him as she drank it one big gulp. She didn't realize just how thirsty she was. Argus smiled as he took the glass from her. "More?" he asked, and she shook her head. "No, and thank you."Argu

Zehra Point of View"Princess Jasmine, how do you fare this fine morning?"The six-year-old Lisa giggled, the sound light and musical."I'm doing amazing!" she exclaimed, bouncing on the balls of her feet as her brown hair swayed wildly as she walked into my house with my brothers in tow.“Prince Zack and Prince Zenki at your service, Princess." I saluted the twins, both of them smiling with their cerulean blue eyes."How would you like to treat you, my Princess?!" Zack snickered.Zenki’s eyes widened as he hit his brother's shoulder. "Man, stop! Don't treat my wife like that!""Wife? In your dreams." He scoffed, sending me a friendly wink before plopping down beside Lisa on the couch.I shut the door behind them, walking over to the kitchen as Zack made his way over to Lisa’s other side while turning on the TV."So how have you boys been?" I called out from the kitchen, lifting up the box of pizza I had gotten Mikhail to buy before he left for some urgent pride business."Good-""Oo
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 2: Young Lioness
I stand near the edge of the pride borderline. Looking beyond the invisible line, marked off only by the scents of pride members and landmarks to help remember when the edges end. The terrain visible to my eye has been used repeatedly over time. Only adult males and training females were allowed past the border. That's only with the permission of the Alpha of the Lycans who owned almost the whole Perućica forest. It's a law to make sure that no one in the pride gets hurt.Lions do not normally live in the middle of the forest. We live in savannas, grassland and open spaces where prey is abundant. Normal pride of lions would be safe there but us? No. We’re shifters. We need to hide our secrets otherwise humans full of curiosity will set their eyes on us. And we cannot afford that. I see a deer a few yards up ahead across the borderline. I blink and wonder why it would be this close to civilization and not deeper in the woods. It's quiet but nowhere close to calm. The wind is blowing my

"There's nothing you can do about the curse, my King," Cade's trusted right hand and best friend Eadric said when they visited his underground prison. "Unless…""Unless?" Cade was eager. He wanted to know if he had a chance to end his curse. His secret would be exposed soon if nothing would be done. "You will make the girl love you, your majesty.""She hates me," Cade said. "That's because you were too possessive. If you change your approach, maybe she will like you," Eadric replied "When will that happen? The bastard brother of mine was at home already. And his interest in her Zehran is obvious," Cade growled."Then perhaps how about you change your approach, my king? Maybe Zehra will like you," Eadric replied as he shackled Cade's wrists with silver shackles connected to the wall. Cade hissed with a sudden jolt of pain as soon as the silver touched his skin, but Eadric proceeded to what he was doing. He then wrapped his whole torso with heavy chains, and each end was also conne
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 20: The Queen he Wanted
Zehra sat down at the table for lunch next to Letisha, who passed her a soft smile. She had fallen asleep only at dawn the next morning when Letisha left. At exactly noon, she had been woken up in time for lunch by the King's order. Zehra had not eaten anything since yesterday, so she didn't mind being woken up. She was dressed in a plain blue abaya and tied her long hair in a tight bun. She didn't mind wrapping her head again because she had already broken the Moon Goddess dress code. Her white-as-cloud hair was now free for everyone to see. Cade looked at her, his eyes fixed on hers as he saw her sit. He hated how Zehra didn't look at him with her beautiful brown eyes. He hated how her silky long, silky hair tied and hidden away from him. Everyone uttered a prayer for Fenrir, but Cade didn't feel kike closing his eyes. His entire body seemed to be restless. The wolf in him, the conqueror, and the lover in him seemed to want Zehra in more ways than she gave him. Cade wanted all
Taming the Alpha's Heart Chapter 19: The Brooch of the Royal and the truth about the King
"Stop! Stop, please stop!" Zehra groaned as soft moans left her lips. Cade's lips felt soft, sending shivers down her spine whenever he touched them. Cade didn't stop. It seemed like he couldn't, and he knew it was true. "You are my future Queen and mate! I have the right to kiss you. You are mine!" Cade growled in her ears. Zehra shivered as his hot breath fanned her neck, and everything he had done to her went through her mind. "I don't want to be your Queen! I don't want to be mated with you! You are a monster! I'm not yours!" she spat on his face. Not liking what she said, Cade bit her on the skin below her ear roughly, causing her to whimper. "Nobody will dare to take you away from me, Zehra," he warned. "Even if you meet your mate, he will end up dying before you."Zehra tried pushing Cade away, but he caught her hands and roughly pinned them to the bed's headboard, making Zehra scream in pain. Her eyes watered as she writhed in pain. Cade's strength was no joke, and Zehra
