2024-10-29 19:42:56I woke up in the morning, the exhaustion from last nights events clung to me along with the chill the morning brought.
While I wasn't drunk enough to forget last nights events, I knew I hadn't fallen asleep in my own bed. And yet, in my own bed is where I woke up.
The blanket Viktor had placed around me was still curled around my fingers, the strangely intoxicating scent lingered on the blanket and gave me a sense of security.
Viktor must have brought me back to my bed. The thought of him carrying me sent a shiver down my spine. I wished I had stayed awake long enough to enjoy the feeling of his arms around me.
I felt like I was becoming more attached to him, but there was nothing I could do to stop it. My feelings were already ever so present in my mind, and there was no way of stuffing them back down.
I hastily threw on some clothes and went into the bathroom to brush out my hair. By

My mind was reeling as I left Dad's office.I wasn't sure what to do with the information I had just found out.Viktor came to my Dad, offering his services as my bodyguard."Viktor knew about us?" Aela sounded confused and unsure."It sounds like it.." Even I was at a loss for words.I was more pressed than ever to find out the identity of Viktor, and the reason behind his mask and gloves.I went to the only person I could think of, my Uncle.He was the only person I knew who was also curious about Viktor's identity.I did my best to hide what I had learned from Viktor, but I wondered if he could feel she shift that had taken place within me.As I walked down the quiet corridor to my Uncle's office, I came up with my stupidest plan to date.I had little hope that it would be successful,

I laid awake until one or two in the morning wrestling with my own nerves.I was in a battle with myself on what I was about to do. My mind had been made up, but that didn't stop my conscience from arguing with me.My idea was downright stupid, and if Viktor wasn't my bodyguard I was sure he'd end my life the second he found out what I did."Are you sure you wanna do this?" Aela asked me.I rolled my eyes at her, "You were all for it hours ago.""I'm still all for it. However, I'm not interested in dying yet. I refuse to let you die a virgin." Aela shook her head and I scoffed."I'm going through with this. Hopefully we live to tell the tale." I shrugged.I slipped out of bed as quietly as possible, knowing his hearing could definitely extend to my room as well.I tiptoed across my floor like my life depended

The days ticked by slowly and my birthday grew closer and closer.Viktor did what he could to avoid me, and I reluctantly did the same. Yet that didn't change the fact that our entire relationship had shifted. I could feel it in the air and in his lingering gazes.He had always stared at me before, but no one else noticed the spark hidden in his obsidian eyes. I could feel his gaze on me when my back was turned and it ignited feelings that I had tried to keep hidden.I couldn't deny how much I wanted him, and he could no longer pretend to be ignorant. It was clear, he wanted me as bad as I wanted him.I walked up to the gazebo with Viktor following behind me. The hair on the back of my neck seemed to constantly raise under his dark eyes.Shannon and Caroline sat at the gazebo waiting for me.These past few days had been quite hectic and busy. My birthday gala was happen

After Dad gave me the necklace, I retreated back to my bedroom.Viktor tried to hide it, but I watched his eyes flicker to the golden jewelry hanging from my neck.Something flashed in his obsidian gaze. Awareness? Caution? Surprise?I wasn't sure what the emotion was, but I was almost positive that Viktor had seen this necklace before. I wondered how familiar he was with this piece of jewelry. Did he know it's full potential?Many of the Royal families began to arrive today, but were required to stay in the nearest hotel.While many were unhappy with this fact, none would dare openly disobey my Dad.Erik and his family would arrive tomorrow, the day of my birthday.My stomach twisted into knots at the thought of Erik arriving.Ever since I was a child, everyone was sure Erik and I would be mates. I used to think the same, now I wasn't so sure.How could I be Erik's mate when my infatuation with Viktor existed? Would it miraculou

The stylists had us strip down to our undergarments to help us in putting on the heavy dresses.While I knew Viktor wouldn't allow his eyes to trail my body in front of all these people, I could still feel his gaze on me.His eyes left goosebumps crawling across my skin."Are you cold, Princess?" One of the stylists frowned.I could feel my face heat up at her question, and my eyes involuntarily met Viktor's . He was standing across the room, leaning against the wall. He looked like a carving of an ancient god, minus the suit."No." I replied, a breathless and somewhat frantic laugh came from my lips.Caroline was in her own world, marveling over the curly up-do her hair had recently become.Shannon on the other hand met my eyes with a small smirk of her own.I should've figured she would catch that."Keep her close during the gala." Aela murmured in my head, "She may be able to figure out what some of these Royal's are

ViktorOne Year AgoI was traveling through the kingdom undetected when I first set eyes on her.My profession, if you would call it that, had me traveling the world many times over.She was my latest mark.I hid in brush of the forest, camouflaged by it's density.Her green eyes were wide with innocence and joy.What kind of monster would put out a hit on a child?I reminded myself, this wasn't any ordinary child.This was the sole child of Damon and Lilliana Adair.The innocent, green eyed beauty with a large bounty on her head would someday rule the largest Lycan Kingdom in existence.Unless I finished the job I was hired to complete."A very rich monster." My wolf Hades, reminded me.Her green eyes sparkled under the bright afternoon sun, her plush lips turning up in a smile as she gazed at a woman nearly identical to herself.The woman w

ArabellaI traveled down to the dining room and I couldn't help but notice how eerily silent the entire house was. All of the staff members were busy attending to the guests at my gala.I knew quite a bit of people were coming, both Royal's and Lycan's.While the Royal's were my number one issue, they weren't the only ones trying to win me over.Royal families were known throughout the world by Lycan's and humans, but there were also other families to think about.In each Kingdom there are those few families that are rich. Typically they own some part of town or a major business. Those families can be human or Lycan.Caroline's family is considered one of the wealthier families. Her Mom own's a party planning company, and most likely tended to the details of my gala.There would be many wealthy families here tonight, all hoping to be my mate.There hasn't been a human on the throne in hundred's of years,

Somehow I managed to get a moment of time to myself.I stayed in the ballroom but traveled closer to one of the arched windows. The red velvet curtains helped in shielding me from some of the guests.I simply needed a moment to breathe and collect my thoughts. Playing a ditsy, carefree princess wasn't my ideal role."You're playing a dangerous game." Viktor's thick accent filled my ears.I turned my head and looked into his dark eyes. Knowledge flashed deep within them, and I reminded myself that I didn't truly know Viktor."The game was started long before I was born, it's about time I joined. Don't you think?" I frowned at him.It was no secret most Royal's did what they could to attain and maintain power. There were loads of scandals throughout my lifetime. Children from affairs, political schemes, even vague death's.Being a Royal was a game of cunning. Knowing who to trust and playing your cards right,

One Month LaterI stood in front of my floor length mirror, my eyes narrowing suspiciously at the dress that flowed down my body. A nearly endless sea of deep green silk rolled down my body, my hair rippled down my back in dark waves. Dad wanted to call the stylists for today’s events, but I refused. My stomach was a cocoon of nerves and knots. The last thing I wanted was a team of people fluttering around me. I had Shannon do my make-up, her steady hands putting my eyeliner on effortlessly.“The dress looks amazing.” Shannon nodded, giving it a long look as I stood in front of the mirror.“You’re only saying that because you picked it out.” I chuckled, giving her a playful eyeroll.“And I did a damn good job.” Shannon huffed, fixing the straps of her own dress.A wave of calming energy washed over me as Viktor stepped out of the bathroom. His chocolate hair was tousled, begging to have

Two Days LaterNikolai Aslanov had been true to his word. Even though I knew he was responsible for the attack at my Birthday Gala, he found evidence against Elena Halifax. This evidence cleared Viktor’s name, letting him finally come back to me.I was unsure why Nikolai wanted to give Viktor and I a chance, but I didn’t argue with it. It was clear Nikolai expected Viktor and I to fail, hoping I would come to him after the fact. Nikolai Aslanov wanted a chance with me, yet he had a funny way of showing it. Trying to have me killed on my birthday wasn’t the best gesture.Viktor was able to return with August in two days. Viktor had turned around the minute I gave the news. He was naturally suspicious of Nikolai Aslanov’s motives, not that I could blame him. I could feel Viktor’s jealousy for his younger brother as I told him that Nikolai wanted a chance with me. I told Viktor what Nikolai had told me, that they were brothers. I asked

“I never told you about that.” I scoffed, “How did you know?”Caroline’s eyes widened, her lips fumbling over words. She knew she had been caught, with what I was unsure of. Everything ran much deeper than I had anticipated.I felt like a child, trying to play a game clearly designed for adults. Just when I thought I was finally gaining the upper hand, something happened. A new twist was thrown into the mix.Instead of backtracking, Caroline’s face contorted in anger. Any friendliness or companionship had faded from her face. Her light eyes were dull and lacked warmth, her lips turned up in a sneer.“Princess Arabella.” Caroline sneered, flipping her hair behind her shoulder. “Born the luckiest girl alive and doesn’t even know it.”“I don’t see what that has to do with anything, Caroline.” My voice conveyed the confusion and hurt I felt. Caroline looked nothing like

“Big brother?” My jaw dropped. The mask I had precariously placed on my face was shattered, long forgotten. I couldn’t tell if Nikolai was lying or not. There wasn’t an ounce of deceit on his face, nor was there any other emotion.“It seems you know little about your mate.” Nikolai shook his head regretfully, “What a shame. If you were mine, nothing would be kept from you. You would never be left in the dark.”“If Viktor’s your brother, why isn’t he in line for the throne?” My eyes narrowed at Nikolai, ignoring his last comment.“Viktor—as you know him by, hate’s being in charge of others.” Nikolai smiled grimly, “Viktor’s skill is ending lives. He never possessed the tasks necessary to rule.”“There are plenty of Royal’s skilled at ending lives.” I murmured; my eyes locked on Nikolai’s. “They use others to do the

“What a special human you must be.” Nikolai Aslanov gave Shannon a friendly grin, one I could tell was fake. Shannon must have been able to tell too, as her eyes hardened at his words. “Is the Halifax family not attending dinner? I was under the impression they were residing here for the time being, same goes for the other young Royal.”“Erik.” I pointed out, pressing my lips together gently.“Yes, Erik.” Nikolai smiled at me, as though the two of us were old friends.“Geoff and Elena Halifax are in mourning.” Dad grunted; his voice laced with sympathy. “Their son recently passed.”“Is that so?” Nikolai’s eyes widened in false surprise; his voice laced with the emotion. He was an expert alright, yet I could still see the curiosity in his gaze. “And how did that happen in a house with the Alpha King?”“He took his own life.” I pressed my

Arabella’s P.o.vI let Viktor’s voice lull me to sleep, staying connected to him until the darkness had taken me over.‘Goodnight, little Princess.’ Viktor murmured, the last thing I heard before sleep claimed me.I shot up in bed as my Dad’s voice flooded through my mind.‘Bella, are you awake?’ Dad’s voice rang out.‘I am now.’ I grumbled, wiping the sleep from my eyes. Shannon was still curled up on the couch, only her mess of curls visible from underneath the blanket.‘Geoff Halifax has decided to hold a funeral pyre for his son.’ My Dad informed me, ‘This should be easy enough to complete. We will be holding it tomorrow night. The Royal’s will stay leave after its completion.’‘And are we prepared for our dinner tonight.’ I winced at the harsh light streaming through my curtains.‘Everything is prepared.’ Dad n

Viktor’s P.o.vThe mark on my neck stung against the itchy fabric of my shirt. The pain reminded me that what happened wasn’t born from my imagination.I could have never anticipated someone like Princess Arabella, or her decision to accept me. Guilt swirled in my stomach, an emotion I had experienced little. The small Princess was making me feel things I had only heard about, but never experienced.I felt true fear for the first time in her presence. Fear had been a distant memory, present in the mind of child-like Viktor. My name had been different back then, but I had also been a different person. Fear was a constant companion as a child, but it was beaten and torn from my body until nothing remained. I had felt fear in its rawest forms at the Princess’s Birthday Gala. Her life had been hanging by a thread, threatened in her need to save my life.She knew nothing of my past, nothing of the things I’ve done and yet she still acce

I wasn’t surprised that Elena couldn’t smell my change in scent when she walked into my bedroom. My room had smelled like Viktor ever since he left. The smell had begun to fade, its intensity rising as I used Viktor’s body wash in my baths.My Dad had called everyone into the living room, Shannon and I included. Each Royal was present followed by, Uncle Jaspar, Dad, Shannon and me.Bryton Duboi gave me a hard look, one that held just a fraction of sympathy. Geoff Halifax looked haunted, like a Father who had lost his only son. Elena was playing the part of grieving Mother, not daring to show her real face in front of my Dad. Even Annalise Halifax had her own mask of sadness, though not nearly as convincing as her Mother.My heart hammered in my chest. I stood off to the side with Shannon, hoping my scent wouldn’t waft around the room. There were already many scents lingering to begin with, hopefully masking my own for the time being.

The decision I made hit me like a ton of bricks once Viktor and I were finished. I had thrown another kink into our plans, but I couldn’t bring myself to regret anything.Viktor and I were mates, why shouldn’t I complete the process with him? I refused to let Uncle Jaspar, Nikolai Aslanov or anyone else scare me away from being with my mate. Sooner or later the truth would have surfaced.Those who knew my scent would be able to smell I had completed the mating process. Only those familiar with Viktor’s scent would know who my mate was.“Little Princess.” Viktor frowned; his dark eyes were burning into my face.I realized I had gone silent, lost in my own thoughts as I slipped the clothes onto my body.The mate bond between Viktor and I was much stronger now. I couldn’t hear his thoughts or see his memories, but I picked up more emotion from him than I had in the past.Viktor was worried, worried I regrette
