All eyes are on me as I walk down the hall following Larissa to the dining room. The soft pink gown with white lace rustles quietly with each step that I take. As we pass by the servants no one lowers their head in respect or bares their neck to me. Instead they all glare at me angrily. I should be walking with my head held high but I cannot help but stare at the ground as I walk. I know after they found me alone in the servants bathroom with him, they all think that I have slept my way into my new title. But that could not be farther from the truth. There is nothing I want less than to be in Alexander's bed. Outwardly I shutter at the thought of him touching me.

Larissa, on the other hand, is walking in front of me with her head held high, sneering at the other servants as we pass by. The other servants are smiling at her brightly before they turn their cold eyes on me. If they only knew that she is the rat that has been feeding the King information about them. The ide

    And so the week went on. Every morning Larissa would invite herself into my room and wake me. I would put on one of the fine gowns that hang carelessly in the wardrobe and follow her down to breakfast. All of the servants glare at me on my way down to the dining room. Whispers and gossip follow me everywhere through the castle. They speak about how they see me coming and going from the Kings chambers every night and how they see our stolen kisses when we believe that no one is watching. Of course all of it is lies, no doubt spread by Larissa at the request of the King. In reality I spend every night trying to pick the lock of my bedroom door and every moment I spend with Alexander we spend bickering over how I am not being a proper chosen mate. This morning is no different than the last. I had hoped that I would be able to have my breakfast in my room this morning because it is a Saturday. But as soon as the second bell rings, I hear the key in the lock of my bedroom door,

    "Your wolf is breathtaking," Alexander says as he stalks towards me still in his human form. "I have never seen a white wolf in person before." He reaches out his hand to stroke Adeline's fur but she snaps at his hand when his hand is within inches of her fur. A rough snarl erupts from behind me and I realize that I have forgotten that Raphael is behind me. Adeline continues to inch her way away from Alexander not caring about the evil growls that she hears from behind her. Out of the corner of her eyes I see the King's guard slowly inching their way around me. I had kept my focus on Alexander for too long and the guards have now fully surrounded me. I have no chance for escape. Step by step each of the wolves come closer and closer to me until I can feel their breath against my fur. Alexander snaps his fingers and one of his guards lunges forward and sinks his teeth into my back leg. Adeline howls in pain as the guard shakes my leg. The sound of my bone snapping echoes th

    Natalia POVMy back is against something hard as my eyes flutter open. I look at the world around me and realize that I do not know where I am. Never in this life or the last have I ever been in such a dark and depressing place. I try to move but the pain in my thighs is still strong. Reaching down with one of my hands I try to feel the damage that was left by the castle guards. As I move my hands the clanging of chains catches my attention. Holding my wrists up in the air I see that each one is cuffed and a heavy chain has me attached to the cot where I am laying. With one hand I explore the cuff on the other hand and it stings against my touch. Silver. The cuffs must be made from silver. I try to straighten myself back up in the bed and the clattering of the chains pierces the silence of the dismal place that I am trapped in. Looking at my surroundings I finally realize where I am. As my eyes adjust to the light I can see that large metal bars surround the small area th

    Victor POVWalking back from the sight of Natalia’s blood, Jax will not stop crying in my mind. He knows that our mate is in danger and he wants to go to her now. I keep trying to explain to him that we need to formulate a plan but it is like talking to a brick wall. Gerard meets me at the edge of the rogue camp with a knowing look on his face. “I took the liberty of calling a camp meeting,” he tells me. I don’t bother to ask how he knows that my mate is in danger. I just continue to walk towards the crowd that is gathering slowly in the middle of the camp. The smell of Natalia’s blood is haunting my mind as I stand in front of the group of rogues that have gathered in the middle of the rogue camp. No, not the rogue camp. This is the village that I created out of those that my brother felt were no longer worthy to be a part of his pack. Those that were no longer worthy to be a part of his Kingdom. When I first came to the rogue camp after my brother banished me from the King

    Natalia POVThe silver cuffs around my wrists are keeping Adeline at bay. Without her help I am feeling like nothing more than a human. My thighs are still stinging in pain from where the guards wounded me and I am freezing. Sitting on the little cot that is placed in the middle of my cell, I hug my knees to my chest. Resting my head on my knees I wait for the meal that Raphael promised to bring me. The sound of water dripping in the distance only serves to remind me that I am settled in the cave systems. Someone raps loudly on my cell bars. I look up to see one of the guards that cornered me in the forest holding a tray of food in his hands. There is an inquisitive look on his face. "There is a rumor floating around the guards about you," he says as he slides the tray under my cell door. Slowly I get up from my cot and try to reach the tray of food but the cuffs on my wrist stop me about two inches from where I can reach it. I widen my eyes in sadness and shift my view to

    Victor POVI waste no time shifting into my wolf and taking off after the rogue brother that just went barreling past me. The sound of wolves running behind me continues to get louder and louder as I run towards the rogue camp. The rogue brother skids to a stop just ahead of me and looks toward the direction of the rogue camp and myself. We do not need the ability to mind link in order for me to know what he is thinking. If we keep running toward the rogue camp we are leading the castle guards right to them. The rogues are unprepared for a fight. If we return home we are surely sentencing many from the rogue camp to their deaths. Jax skids to a stop beside the brother and he nips at his flank to grab his attention. Gesturing his head in the opposite direction of the rogue camp, Jax leads the brother towards the spring. The spring is the perfect location to divert the castle guards to. As I take off running towards the line of trees in the distance I can hear the rogue broth

    Natalia POVThe chains that connect my hands together clink quietly as I follow Raphael through the castle. My legs are sore from the wounds that are on both of them and I am finding it hard to keep up with Raphael's wide steps. When I fall behind Raphael yanks on the chains pulling me along like I am some sort of cattle. Tripping over my own feet as I try to lift my feet to climb the front stairs of the castle, I fall flat on my face. I can hear the sound of those standing around me snickering as I try to get back to my feet but I am unsuccessful and fall flat once again. By the time I manage to climb back to my feet both my knees and my hands are bloodied from falling on the hard stone of the stairs. My eyes search those that are standing around me but I do not see sympathy in anyone's eyes. One loathing and disdain. Raphael is standing with his arm across his chest with an annoyed look on his face. "I'm sorry," I whisper to Raphael as I climb to my feet. "My legs are not

    Victor POV Three years later I can hear giggles coming from the kitchen and I just know that the boys are up to no good. "Ezra and Titus," I yell as I make my way into the kitchen. I look around the room and I don't see any sign of the boys. But Crystal and Margaret are unsuccessfully trying to hide the smirks that are on their lips. Standing in the middle of the kitchen with my hands on my hips I glare at my mate's two friends knowing that they are hiding the boys from me. "Where are they?" I ask Crystal and Margaret. "Who are you looking for?" Margaret says with a glint of humor twinkling in her eyes. "You know who," I say as I try to pretend to be angry. "The boys are supposed to be tidying their room." Suddenly a little blonde head pops up from behind the kitchen island and his blue eyes sparkle brightly as he looks at me. "Why do we have to tidy our room," Ezra says with a pout on his lips. Then a little brown head pops up from beside him. Every time I see h

    Natalia POVI slowly make my way back to our bedroom after the Blood Moon Ball. It was a glorious event and I was so happy to see how many members of our Kingdom found their mates. I spent most of the evening sitting on my throne with my feet propped up to minimize the swelling. Members of the Kingdom can up to me throughout the night to offer their congratulations and tell me how much happier everyone is in the Kingdom now that Alexander is gone. I have found that many of them are weary of Victor as well simply because he was Alexander's brother. But I assured them all that even though they may look the same they are definitely not the same. Just as Victor and I make it back to our bedroom room a pain shoots through my belly causing me to need to stop and take a breath. Victor is at my side in second. "What's wrong," he asks as he lays his hand on my stomach causing the twins to twist and turn crazily in my stomach.Just as suddenly as the pain came it went away. Standing i

    Natalia POVTrying to be as graceful as possible, I waddle my way through the castle to the great throne room. Nicole stays by my side as I walk slowly offering me support whenever I get overly winded from hauling around this large belly. Once we get to the large double doors that lead to the throne room, Nicole gives me a swift kiss on the cheek before she runs off to take her place among the crowd. Even though I have dreamed of this moment ever since the day that I found out about the prophecy, nothing can compare to how I feel right now. The trumpets that surround the room blast loudly, announcing my arrival. Everyone in the crowd turns to look at me. A large lump forms in my throat as I look into all of their anxious eyes. Swallowing down the lump I force my feet to move one foot in front of the other down the aisle. Members of the crowd are reaching through the barriers that are holding them back for my safety. I cannot help but reach out and touch the tips of their fin

    Natalia POVEverything hurts. My back. My feet. Everything. Laying on my back on Victor and I's bed I stare up at the ceiling trying to will myself to get out of the bed. I hear the door to our bedroom open but I do not have the energy to look over and see who is standing in the room, but the scent of citrus and pine fills the air and I know that it is my mate. "I cannot believe you are still in this bed," Victor says with a bit of humor in his voice. I try to look at him over my ever growing belly but instead I just flop my head back on my pillow. "You try carrying these pups," I mutter under my breath. I feel the edge of the bed dip down beside me. Victor places his huge hand on my belly causing the tingles from the mate bond to spread over my skin and the pups in my belly to go wild. One of the pups kicks my bladder and I suddenly have to pee. "Ugh," I groan as I try to right myself in the bed. "Now I have to use the bathroom." Victor chuckles to himself as I attem

    Natalia POVI look at King Lignum’s outstretched hand and hesitate a moment. “I am not making a deal with you,” I make myself clear. “I will find a way to prove myself to the Werewolf Council without your aid.” “I have already told you,” he says sweetly. “This is not a deal. This is a favor with no strings attached.” “No strings attached,” I repeat after him and lay my hand in his. Without even realizing what is happening I am being pulled through what feels like a vacuum. Images are rushing past me at the speed of light. Closing my eyes tightly, I try not to vomit as we move quickly between the Realms. As suddenly as it started it stops and the sounds of growls fill the air around me.My eyes fly open and I can see that we have landed in the center of the Council’s chambers. Holding onto King Lignum’s hand for support I try to steady myself after the journey that I just had. My eyes dart around the large conference room and I can see that all of the elders are looking

    Natalia POVI can hear the sound of someone banging on Esau's door as I step through the portal to the Fae Realm. I look back over my shoulder and see Victor barreling through Esau's front door as the portal closes quickly behind me. Esau is chuckling loudly beside me as he watches Victor try and get to the portal in time and fail. "He's going to be so pissed," Esau laughs hardily. My lips pucker in confusion as I look at Esau, "why would he be pissed?" "Because this is the second time that I have slipped you into the Fae Realm right under his nose," Esau says with a bright smile spread across his mossy face. Rolling my eyes at him and I smack him in the shoulder, but I cannot help but smirk. "He did look pretty angry." "He will find a way to pay me back," Esau sighs a little as he grabs my hand. I let him pull me along as we follow the trail back towards the Castle Flos. We walk together in a comfortable silence as we head towards the castle. I keep the book clutched

    Natalia POVThe huge metal double doors that lead to the royal balcony open up with a creak. The sight of the balcony causes panic to rise in my chest. The last time I was out here I killed a man and started a war. My breathing becomes erratic as Victor tries to lead me out onto the balcony. Pulling on my arm Victor tries to guide me outside but my feet don't move. "I can't," I whisper to Victor with fear in my eyes. Pausing for a moment, Victor studies my eyes for a moment and then places a gentle kiss on my forehead. "You can do anything," he whispers to me sweetly. "You are the one true Queen." He looks at me with such confidence that I cannot help but take a deep breath and take a few steps forward. Victor tightens his arm around my waist and slowly guides me out onto the balcony. The night air is chilly as it nips at my bare arms causing me to shiver in Victor's arms. Victor guides me to the railing of the balcony and I hear thunderous cheers from the crowd down bel

    Natalia POV"How long have you known?" Victor growls and looks at me with intensity in his eyes. Swinging my legs over the other side of the bed. I walk away from him. Refusing to meet his lingering gaze. Walking over to my wardrobe I finger through the dresses one by one, pretending like I am considering what to wear. Victor walks up behind me, placing his nose in the crook of my neck, he inhales deeply. Before I realize what is happening he has dropped to his knees and is sniffing my stomach, holding me in place by my hips. "Victor," I say as I try to fight him off. "Stop. This is embarrassing." "Is it mine?" He asks as he fearfully looks up into my eyes. Scoffing at his question, I rip his hands from my waist. "How dare you ask me that?" Adeline is pushing forward in anger and I know that my eyes are swirling from green to silver. Grabbing one of the dresses from the wardrobe I storm off into the bathroom that adjoins my room and slam the door. Once I am alone, I b

    Natalia POVLocked in my room. LOCKED IN MY ROOM. Victor had me locked in my room for killing his brother. A plan that I thought he and I devised together, but I guess I was wrong. I killed a man that tormented me through not one lifetime but two and I am being punished. He stopped by my room earlier today to tell me it is only until the Council of Elders decides whether or not I am a risk to the Kingdom or not. I did not react so kindly and slapped him across his face. The only peace that I have is knowing that I carry the heir to the throne. Laying on my back in just my opened robe, I look at my stomach in wonder. My once flat stomach now has a tiny bulge just below my belly button. Placing my hand on my lower abdomen I can feel the little flutters of movement coming from within. Even though I am stuck in this room I am not alone, I think to myself. A knock on my door drags me from my thoughts. Closing the robe around my body I don't bother to get up from the position
