“No. You can't go after them!” I yelled at the top of my lungs when I was finally certain that the prey that they were hunting wasn't me at all.My parents and the younger version of myself were in extreme danger. I ran as fast as I could after the wolves and after my parents while I prayed desperately that I would catch up to them before something bad would happen. Although I was safe, I knew that they were in great danger. A foul sickening taste filled my mouth as I feared for the worst. Although I couldn't remember what happened, I could frankly imagine what the end of this hunt entailed.Was this how I lost and got separated from my parents? For a moment, I started to dread the answer to this question. Although I figured that my parents had probably passed away a very long time ago, when I was younger because I couldn't remember them, there was a time when I hoped and prayed that my parents would one day magically turn up to pick me up from the orphanage. I wished that we would b
“I love you. We love you. Remember that we will always love you,” my mother told me as she reached up a hand to stroke my hair.“You have to go now. There is not enough time. Run as fast as you can and don't look back. Forget about us and forget about everything. Start a fresh new life, Mila…” my father said as he placed a hand on top of my head. I had no idea what happened after that because suddenly I felt a whirling sensation deep inside of my mind and then everything went pitch black.“Mila! Mila!” I could hear someone calling my name but his voice felt so soft as if he was so far away from me. My lips wouldn't move and I couldn't make a sound. It felt like I had completely no control over my body and I couldn’t move a muscle. It just felt like I was in an unknown place while just floating in thin air.“Mila! Mila! Can you hear me?”I heard that voice again. A man was calling to me so desperately and with each call of my name, I could feel his voice getting louder as if he was c
The prince was silent and I did not expect that he would answer me. After all, I was just complaining about how fate was so cruel to us. Because I hadn’t expected him to say anything in response, I was slightly surprised when the prince suddenly unwrapped his arms from around my body and distanced me from him just enough so that he could look directly into my eyes.“This might be hard for you to accept but the answer is right in front of you, all you need to do is look in the mirror…” the prince replied before grinning a little at me.“What do you mean?” I asked before blinking blankly at the prince.“Come here with me for a bit, Mila,” the prince instructed as he got off the bed.Although I was confused, I didn't hesitate in taking his hand to let him help me off the bed. I followed him on shaky steps as he led me to a mirror. I truly never expected that I would find any meaningful answer just by staring at my own reflection in the mirror; however, it seemed that the prince was righ
“What else?” the prince asked. What else?“This is going to sound so strange, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to tell you this. At first, it didn't feel like something abnormal. It just felt like a random dream but then that one dream started to become a series of dreams until I dreamt of him every single night. Sometimes I feel like I can sense him every time that I close my eyes,” I continued confessing to the prince.Suddenly, the Prince looked extremely interested in what I was telling him. There were still so many details that I remember so vividly from those dreams. However, I couldn't bring myself to tell him in words.“When you said that it felt like he was your lover. What do you mean by that?” the prince continued asking for more details.I wonder just how much he wanted to know and for what purpose. I honestly couldn't see the use of telling him the details of my dreams.“In my dreams, he would say such loving words to me and he would kiss and touch me…” I said before tr
“That's right, it was you…” the prince reaffirmed once again.“Me? Are you sure that the woman in your dream was really me? Did you clearly see what she looked like?” I ask as I struggle to believe him.“I think it's similar to your dreams. I didn't see her directly. However, I clearly saw her eyes and their unique quality,” he replied with certainty in his voice.“Her eyes?” I murmured.“That's right. Her eyes were of a slightly different color from each other's. Just like yours…” he replied before grinning my way.My hand instinctively flew to my eyes as I was reminded of this birth defect that I've had ever since I was born. My eyes had always been a slightly different color for each other and many people at the orphanage were freaked out by it. I had never thought that this abnormality was anything but weird and burdensome. “Your eyes are very attractive, Mila,” the prince said as if he could sense my troubled feelings.“Thank you…” I whispered before lowering my hand from my fa
“You're a smart girl. You got that right, Mila. You are indeed my mate,” the prince replied calmly and I could tell that he was dead serious about this.“Are you serious?” I blurted, although it felt like I already knew the answer.“I wouldn't joke about this,” he replied.“But how could that be?” I asked while feeling very stunned.“Why are you so surprised? Honestly, I thought that you would have figured it out by now. Even if you do not know the concept of mates, don't you realize that you're very attracted to me?” the prince asked if rest lips curved into a mischievous smirk.My lips quivered and I was at a total loss for words. It might be true that I was very attracted to the prince but I never realized that he also realized it and I couldn’t believe that he was actually pointing it out directly to my face. I felt heat rushed to my cheeks and I had to avert my eyes from his gaze.“I apologize for being so direct but you don't have to be shy about it. If it helps, I’m just as att
I wasn’t sure if that was the answer that he wanted to hear, but it felt like the most honest response that I could give him based on my feelings at the time. Prince Leonard suddenly pulled me into his embrace and hugged me tightly and that felt like the greatest proof that at least for that moment, our thoughts and our hearts were aligned.Although the prince had agreed to explain to me what it meant for us to be mates at a later date, I began experiencing it for myself just a few days after he told me about the fact. Since the last time that we mated and he planted his seed inside of me, I've been experiencing uncontrollable waves of desire. My body felt so hot that it felt feverish for no reason at all. At first I didn't know what it was and the feeling seemed fleeting as it randomly came and went. For a while, I was too ashamed to tell the Prince about the condition that I was in, and I tried my best to keep it in. When Prince Leonard wanted to come see me, I informed him simply
The prince settled his hips in between my spread thighs before grinding his hardness against my opening. I could already feel just how hard and erect his cock had grown, and I felt relieved that he was just as turned on as I was. My pussy clenched and quivered in anticipation of his entrance as I felt myself getting wetter and hotter down there. Our hips moved together as we ground our sex against each other's, his hardness pressed against my opening as I thrusted my hips off the bed to match the rhythm of his motions. It felt like we were having sex without clothes on, and although it was pleasurable, it wasn't enough for me. I wanted to feel him naked in my arms and then I wanted him to bury the entire length of his hardened cock into my flooded love tunnel. “Leo…please,” I pleaded in a strangled voice as I stared up at his impassioned face. I could tell that what we were doing was just the start of something more because I could sense his desire for me. The prince sat up in betwe
“Congratulations to us, you’re pregnant, Mila!” Prince Leonard announced excitedly.“I’m pregnant?” I asked more out of curiosity than out of surprise. Although I knew that the prince would never joke about something like this, I still found it hard to believe that I was suddenly pregnant.“That’s right, you’re pregnant, and that means we’re about to have another baby,” Prince Leonard said before breaking into another wide smile.“I’m…really pregnant?” I whispered as I struggled to wrap my head around the prince’s sudden announcement.“The doctor said that you might have been feeling tired because you’re in the early stages of pregnancy. I’m sorry that I hadn’t realized this sooner; otherwise, I would have kept all the ceremonies short so that you didn’t have to go through all of that when you’re feeling so tired,” the prince said apologetically as he took my hands into his. I kept staring at the prince as he buried the side of his face against the palm of my hand.“We’re about to hav
“Have you eaten anything? Actually, that’s a very stupid question. I know that you haven’t really eaten anything because you haven’t had the time, right?” the Duchess asked knowingly.Although I didn’t want to admit it because I didn’t want to be an inconvenience to anyone, the Duchess was spot on correct that I hadn’t had the time or the opportunity to eat anything. The day had been so busy from early in the morning up until the evening, and everything seemed more important than filling my own stomach.“It’s fine, I’ll make sure to eat something when this reception is over,” I told her reassuringly before offering her a smile. Duchess Flavia only gave me a disapproving glare before shaking her head from side to side.“You look like you’re about to faint. It’s like I can see your face go pale even with all the makeup,” she said as she brought her face closer to mine to get a closer look at me.“I’m feeling fine,” I told her while I tried to convince myself that I wasn’t feeling light-
"Your daughter looks like you," Prince Leonard commented."And I think that your son looks like you, and I'm sure that he will grow up into a great king," Regina said, and I could hear the confidence in her voice."Let me know if you ever need anything," the prince told her with a warm smile."You're always too kind. Please take good care of yourself and of Mila. Mila, please take care of our King," Regina said, turning to address me."I will," I replied shortly before finding myself smiling at her.Regina truly did look happier than the time when she lived in the palace. It felt like the shadow that had always been following her around and haunting her was no longer there. I could tell that she was no longer living under pressure, and it made her shine with happiness and freedom. It seemed that I didn't have to worry about her anymore.After some parting words, Regina led her daughter away from us so that we could converse with other guests. I had no idea how many conversations we ha
Prince Leonard probably had no idea that it was the way his beautiful eyes looked at me and the way his alluring lips curved up into a smile that was responsible for making everything else fade away from my field of vision so that all I could do was focus on him."Thank you for making me your queen," I whispered softly and sweetly.The prince only nodded his head once before carefully placing the crown on the top of my head. When I was aware of the world surrounding us again, all I could hear was the thundering sound of applause that echoed in the royal hall...."Hang in there for just a little longer, Mila," the prince said before flashing me a teasing smile."I guess we're done with two out of the three parts of what we have planned for today," I mumbled before stifling a yawn. I had no idea why I felt so lethargic and sleepy, although it was only just early in the evening. So far, the prince and I operated as the perfect team to pull off two of our most important events of the day
His words touched me like never before, and I could feel it in my heart and soul that I reciprocated his feelings and thoughts. I had never understood the concept of fated mates until I experienced it myself along with the prince. Our bond felt stronger and firmer than any endearing words of promise."I love you. I’ll love you forever," I said the words that came naturally to my mind.**Back to the present**When it came my turn to say ‘I do’, I found myself managing to say it without any difficulty. It must have been partly because I truly meant it when I vowed to be with the prince in sickness and in health, through thick and thin; however, I was certain that everything felt easier because I knew that we had a bond that even the heavens could never break."I do," I said firmly when it was my turn.When we shared the kiss to seal our wedding vows, I knew that what we had was something that was going to last forever until the end of our lifetimes....Our wedding ceremony in the churc
I gave Logan's hand a slight squeeze before taking my first step forward into the church. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I reminded myself to keep my head held high, curving my lips into one of my most beautiful smiles. Without any hesitation, I made my way forward down the aisle. The fact that each step forward brought me closer to the man waiting for me at the end of the aisle gave me the comfort and courage to continue on. I didn't even bother trying to identify faces that I might recognize in the crowd of guests present on both sides of me.It felt as if all my nervousness melted away completely when my eyes met Prince Leonard's. I’d always thought he looked amazingly attractive, but seeing the prince wearing an all-white tuxedo standing in front of the altar with such a loving smile on his face as he waited for me was out of this world. I felt my heart skip a beat in my chest, and it wasn't at all because of my nervousness. Everything and everyone around me slowly faded aw
It was clear that everything was too extravagant for my own taste to the point where it must have been pretty obvious to Prince Leonard that I had no hand in the selection and design of the proposed decorations. "I'm actually fine with anything. I think everything they've chosen is very beautiful, and their work is a lot more professional than anything I could have done by myself," I admitted to the prince honestly."If that's the case, then fine, but if there's anything that you don't like, just tell them to take it out," the prince said firmly."I just think it's easier to let them sort everything out. It's enough for me that we'll be getting married and that Logan will be there to witness our union," I said while trying to keep my tone cheerful. I was certain that if I picked out anything by myself or intervened with the guest list, I would be bringing unwarranted complications and troubles that I didn't want to deal with."If that's what you say," the prince said after finally gi
I should have known that the prince would never want to become the next king for his own personal gain. I found myself nodding my head naturally in agreement with his plan when I realized that I also had to play my part in contributing to the happiness of our son in the future.“I agree that that seems to be the easiest way. I guess if you become king, you can change the rules in whatever way you want,” I said while seeing more than a glimpse of hope.“It’s not going to be that easy. Many people on the committee are going to be against it, but this is our best shot. No matter what, we’re going to make this successful and change the rules of this country for the better,” the prince said, so motivatingly that I found myself feeling slightly excited.“I guess bringing change, especially big changes, isn’t going to be easy,” I said, but by then I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. In my mind, I had already envisioned such a bright future, and it gave me the greatest honor to be able to co
“What is it?” I asked, feeling a sense of worry stir in the pit of my stomach.“I’m concerned about Logan,” the prince confessed in a whisper.“Concerned? What is there for you to be concerned about? Is something wrong?” I bombarded him with questions, thinking there might be a threat to Logan’s safety. I had no idea why I felt that way, but I just had a very bad feeling.“Remember when you asked me why I changed my mind about taking over the throne? I’m sorry, but I haven’t been entirely honest with you,” the prince said with a regretful look on his face.“It’s fine. It must have been hard for you,” I said understandingly while wondering what had the prince feeling so concerned. “What is it about Logan?” I asked as I started to frown with worry.“Logan is getting a lot better at controlling his transformations now, but he’s still too young for us to be sure about what will happen in his future,” Prince Leonard said.It was true that our son had improved tremendously at controlling hi
