~Cody~

I awoke to Rain's chest's gentle rise and fall, my head resting on him. Blinking my eyes open to the soft morning light filtering into the room, I stifled a light yawn, careful not to disturb Rain's peaceful slumber. My gaze naturally drifted upward to Rain's face, and a smile played on my lips as my fingertips traced the contours of his features — starting at his perfect eyebrow and trailing down to the bridge of his nose. As my hand reached the tip of his nose, a gentle grip enveloped my fingers, and Rain fluttered his beautiful eyes open.

"Our mate is so beautiful," Ezra exclaimed in my mind. ..

"Good morning, Your Highness," Rain's voice, more profound than usual, greeted me like a soothing melody. His perfect, long lashes, followed by a warm smile, blinked at me.

My heart, and indeed my entire body, trembled as our eyes locked. Why did he have to smile? I pondered, the connection between us unbroken.

"Your..." I started to say, but my eyes widened as the previous night's events flooded back. I had set rules, and now he was addressing me with honorifics. I wouldn't say I liked how it sounded, but insisting he call me Cody would only make me seem erratic.

"Your Highness," he continued, still holding my hand. Instead of releasing it, he placed it on his chest, rubbing it gently.

"I feel like kissing our mate," Ezra muttered. Just as he finished, I found my gaze drawn to Rain's lips. He noticed and gently licked them, sending a shiver through my body. This time, a more intense reaction occurred, and I felt a certain twitch that signaled an awakening desire.

"No, no," I mentally protested. Raising my leg, I kicked Rain off the bed, and he thudded to the ground with a groan. Jumping out of bed, I headed toward my luggage, feigning interest in my clothes while pointedly ignoring Rain on the floor. There was no way I'd let him control my emotions unless he accepted me.

"Your Highness," Rain shouted through gritted teeth as he stood up. "Since we're both studying history, I must inform you that we have class this morning and..."

"I need a bath," I cut him off, ignoring his attempt to act like I hadn't heard. "Prepare me a bath, Rain," I ordered.

At first, Rain remained motionless, then he chuckled and nodded in response. "Yes, Your Highness," he bowed his head before murmuring as he walked to the bathroom.

Once he had left, I placed my hand on my racing chest and sighed deeply. "What the hell are you doing, Cody? I hate Rain too for what he did, but you can't treat him like..."

I scoffed and interrupted Ezra's argument. I wasn't ready to listen. Staring at the bathroom, I waited for Rain to leave, but he didn't. Curious, I stood up and headed toward the bathroom.

"Rain," I called out, standing at the entrance. When the door didn't open, I placed my hand on the doorknob and turned it. The door swung open, and as I walked in, preparing to ask Rain where he was, he suddenly grabbed me and pulled me toward the bathroom.

"What are you..." I began, but he placed a hand over my mouth.

"Your Highness," he said in a sultry tone. "I must say that I have prepared." Pausing, his hand gently grabbed my chin, tilting my face, and then he pulled me closer, leading me away from the tub toward the shower.

"What the hell are you doing, Rain?" I frowned at his strange behavior. Being apart for two years made me realize he was a different person now. "Rain... what..." My words caught my throat as he slammed both hands against the wall.

"Your Highness," his voice sounded more profound and more dangerous as he leaned closer, his breath on my face. He smelled just like the rain, the only thing that hadn't changed about him.

"Rain," I tried to say his name, but it sounded more like a moan. He was making it difficult to be around him. "If you try to..."

"Your Highness, I advise that you use the shower to bathe because we're running late," he said, clearing his throat before removing his hands beside me.

That was his reason for pushing me against the wall? I couldn't believe I had anticipated something more. A kiss would have been more inviting, but he made a foolish announcement instead.

"Please take your bath, your highness. I shall be waiting for you outside, and also, we have to reach there on time because this is your first class, and....,"

"Get out so that I can take my bath!" I shouted, not ready to hear more. "Just go!" I yelled.

"Very well, then," he turned to leave. Wanting to pay him back for what he said and did, I extended my foot, causing him to stumble. He grabbed my hand before he hit the ground and pulled me on top of him.

    Cody POVI stood at the door's entrance, waiting for him to finish picking up our books. The bathroom incident lingered, and I couldn't shake the memory. It had happened suddenly, catching me by surprise as we both stumbled, lips meeting. The mental replay of it left me wanting more. "Now you're thinking about it again when you promised to stop," Ezra reminded me.I sighed, recalling that I'd made that promise ten minutes ago, yet the memory still consumed my mind. This mate bond was becoming aggravating, making me feel like a relentless, uncontrollable desire to be with Rain, which was frustrating."Your Highness," Rain announced his presence as he stood before me, waving his hand.Frowning, I wondered what he was doing and walked away toward the elevator. Once inside, the enclosed space heightened my inner turmoil. One voice urged me to kiss Rain, while another told me to reject him. I groaned audibly, unable to bear it any longer. I leaned against the elevator frame, took a deep b

    ~Rain~It was happening again. Throughout the history class, I could feel his intense glares directed at me, even though I avoided eye contact. If looks could kill, Cody would have already taken my life.Amara shared details about her upcoming birthday party, and we reminisced about our history while she laughed it off. When I turned around, his once bright blue eyes, now darker, were fixed on me. I visibly gulped, forcing myself to focus on the professor and ignore the erratic beating of my heart.The overwhelming feeling persisted—one moment, he ignited my emotions and the next, he made me regret encountering him after two long years. Throughout the class, I nervously rubbed my sweaty hands together, concealing them from Amara, who was still immersed in her birthday party discussion.As the class concluded and Cody exited the room, I hastily rose and caught up with him. Finding him alone, as Caden had abandoned him to flirt with others, I attempted to speak as I approached him. Howe

  • The Alpha Prince's Secret Mate    That Feeling

    ~Cody~Describing the intensity of my anger as a mere understatement would be an injustice. I yearned to unleash a primal scream and let my lycan form run wild. I had never felt such overwhelming fury before, and it wasn't just me; my inner lycan seethed with anger over the unfolding events. If he had the opportunity, he would have seized control of my body and claimed Rain as his own."Rain, you foolish mate," I muttered as I strode into the cafeteria. The room, previously abuzz with conversation, fell eerily silent upon my entrance. Hushed whispers and sidelong glances filled the void like a harbinger of doom had just crossed the threshold. "They must fear us," Ezra observed.I, however, doubted that fear was the sole reason. After all, I was the crown prince; there was no logical cause for them to be afraid."Your Highness," a server bowed from behind their counter. "Welcome. Please let us know your preferences, and we will promptly fulfill them." Maybe Ezra was right, for as soon

    ~CODY~"How were you able to..." I was lost for words, having no idea how quickly she discovered it. "How did you find out about this?" I questioned again, hoping to understand how she had uncovered the truth.Amara smiled at me. "I know about mates, your highness, and even before that, I had already seen the way you looked at Rain. You are in love with him, which is okay on your side, but have you ever thought Rain likes you?"I stared at her, lost for words and unable to say anything. This was not how I had wanted anyone to find out, especially not her. I tried to tell Rain myself, but the fact that he had not recognized me as his mate yet made me wonder what could be going on. I never thought Amara would see through me to the extent of realizing that Rain was my mate."How did you find out about this?" I questioned again, hoping to discover how she discovered it."Because I came back to the party that night, and then I saw you two kissing," she said and chuckled. "It was there that

    ~RAIN~ I stretched and blinked my eyes open to the morning light flooding the room. Glancing around, I noticed Cody wasn't in his bed; instead, he emerged from the bathroom, fully dressed. I was surprised he was already prepared for class and hadn't bothered waking me. If it was in the past, he would have called my name or even asked me to wake me up, but I was surprised to see that he was already up and dressed. It was strange, unexpected of Cody. He would never do something like that. Standing up, I greeted him with a lowered head, "Your Highness." He didn't reply, as if I didn't exist. I couldn't blame him for following the rules, but I couldn't figure out why he was treating me with silence. He had been acting differently since the previous day, and I was worried, unable to understand the cause. Cody was never the type of person to give the silent treatment. When we were younger, he always apologized even when he was right, but now, it was different. "Morning, ready for class?

    ~CODY~It had been two days since I last spoke with Rain. It was a decision I had to make for my happiness, freeing myself from thoughts of my mate being with someone else. Since that moment, Ezra had stopped talking to me, and Rain had made every effort to communicate, but I ignored him. In the worst cases, I would wake up early and leave the house before he even woke up.Was I happy? No. Did I want it to continue? No, but I felt I had no choice. For my well-being, I needed to accept that one day, I would have to reject Rain as my mate.Today was the day I was supposed to move out of our shared room and be alone. It was also Amara’s birthday ceremony. The rain had left five minutes earlier, and I pretended not to hear him even when he announced his departure.I intended to continue the silent treatment once I left the room. It was the best option. My secret would be safe, and Rain, who had not recognized me as his mate, wouldn't have to worry about anything until I was ready to rejec

    ~CODY~I had no idea how long the kissing went on, but I fought the urge to walk up the stage and pull them away from each other. I sat there, boiling with anger. Ezra continued to growl in my head, begging to take over my body and attack Amara for touching our mate. I scratched my palm with my fingers to stop myself from attacking anyone."Rain and I are getting back together!" Amara announced, and everyone clapped and cheered for them. Cara, seated beside me, nudged me on the shoulder and pointed towards them."They look so good together," she said. I growled at her, but it wasn't intentional. My lycan viewed everyone supporting Amara and Rain as enemies."Cody!" she shouted my name and frowned at me after my growl. "What the hell?"I muttered an apology and stood up from the chair, trying to hide my bleeding palm from them. Caden was the first to notice, pointing towards my palm."Why are you bleeding?" he asked. I stared at my palm, clenched it tightly, and without saying a word t

Neither of us said a word, even though we were standing under the heavy rain, shivering against each other.I had left Amara's side after I saw him walk out of the party. I could feel his eyes on me all night, and despite not exchanging words for the past few days, I knew there was something he wanted to say to me, and I felt the same way. Spending a few days apart from him made me realize that there was no reason for us to be apart. Even when Amara announced that we were back together as a couple, I didn't expect it because I didn't want to get back with her.Following Cody outside was the best decision I ever made. It was there that I discovered he was hurting and learned his biggest secret. I should have known all along, but I couldn't figure it out, and I had judged him that night.

The plane should have landed, but it hadn't, which made me question why I had arrived two hours earlier. I had come when the sun was about to set, and now, it was dark, yet the plane showed no sign of landing.I shook my legs, stood up, and rubbed my hand on my forehead. I couldn't concentrate and only think about seeing him again after two months. That was the longest we had been away. He had gone on a royal prince's assignment, even though he was not the crown prince anymore. I should have gone with him, but I stayed back to finish some school projects, leading to our separation for two long months.I missed him so much, and even though we did video calls, chatted, and had phone calls, I still couldn't stop thinking about him, knowing that I was going to bed alone without his warm hands around my waist. Today was his birthday, and I had planned a massive surprise for him, which he would

    ~Cody~ Three weeks later,"Are you ready?" he asked, wrapping his arms around my waist."I've been waiting for this day all my life, and I'm happy that finally, I am going to see it happen with you." I turned around to face him and kissed him on the lips. The kiss was short, and I soon turned back to face the mirror. "What do you think the world will think about us, Rain?" I rubbed my face and adjusted my tie as I stared at myself in the mirror. This was it. I had made the decision, and there was no turning back. I made the decision myself when we arrived from the in-between because it was my decision, and I would never regret it.Today was the day I would reveal myself to the world, not just myself. I was also showing my mate for everyone to see."Everyone must accept us for what we are, Cody, and if they don't, we can always run away without caring about what anyone thinks. This is our time, and now that both our parents have agreed to it, who else can stop us from becoming what we

    ~Rain~As I released the arrow, my eyes followed it anxiously as it soared toward the source of the voice. The voice unleashed a scream, accompanied by growling, and a bright light emerged, revealing Gasin.Having envisioned Gasin as an ugly creature, I was surprised to find a beautiful red-haired woman. The only features distinguishing her as a goddess were a mark on her forehead and six fingers. This unique trait instilled a sense of fear in me, uncertain of what might unfold."You found the arrow of light!" she growled, placing her hand on the arrow in her heart. "You stupid boy!" Gasin pointed toward me, and the monstrous creatures ran from behind the Alpha King and Luna Queen, advancing on me.In the chaos, one of the creatures slashed across my chest, causing me to groan in pain. Before I could recover, another struck my back, forcing me to drop the bow from my hand."Cody!" I heard my name shouted. "What the hell are you doing!" Cody screamed. "Don't hurt him, please. He didn't

    ~Cody~I smiled brightly when I saw him heading towards me. He was here, which means he passed the test with me. ''Rain!" I shouted his name and rushed to hug him as soon as our eyes met. "I am glad we both made it," I chuckled and kissed his forehead. "I had thought that maybe something bad had happened, but here you are, smiling brightly at me. I am happy that we were able to work it out."Rain smiled and embraced me warmly, not letting go. "I had thought that something had happened to you, but I am happy that you are here, and there is nothing wrong with you," he muttered."Me too," I told him and sighed.A bright light suddenly appeared, breaking us apart, and from the bright light appeared a man dressed in a black robe with red patterns. The man's silver hair shone brightly as he approached us, carrying a powerful aura to behold."You both have succeeded, and I am proud of you," he said, bursting into laughter. "In all the years of being a master here, you are the first that woul

It's like he was separated from me; no one needed to tell me that the test of desires had started.‘’You are weak!’’ A voice sounded behind me as I stood amid the diamonds, not taking another step because I had no idea where I was. ‘’Nobody wants you and Rain to be together. You are only a liability to him, and the sooner you realize this, the better.’’ The voice shouted, his voice resounding in the room.‘’Who are you?’’ I demanded to know the voice that sounded menacing and powerful enough to intimidate me. ‘’I won’t ask you again, who the hell are you!’’ I screamed back at the voice.‘’This is why you and Rain can never be together,’’ Caden shouted as he appeared before me. ‘’You are too weak, unable to defend the kingdom, and you caused the disappearance of our parents.

    ~Rain~ Finally, we were there, and it was the last phase, meaning that we would face Gasin sooner or later once we got what we wanted. That meant it would be the end of her. She wouldn’t bother us any longer, and everyone would be freed from her cruel rule. It also meant I could be together with Cody again without worrying about what others think about us."Are you ready?" I asked him. "This is the last place, and here, anything might happen. Promise me that you will return to me?" I asked, and he nodded in response, grabbing my shirt collar and pulling me into his arms."You also promised me that everything would be fine and you wouldn’t die in there?"I nodded in response, and he leaned in, kissing me quickly. I kissed him back, cut short by Teo, who had appeared from nowhere behind us. "I believed that you two are already done with your lovey-dovey moments," he laughed, and then his tone suddenly changed. "You also need to know that even though you might have promised yourself to

    ~CODY~ My eyes widened in shock as I watched him fall. ‘’Rain!’’ I shouted his name. It shouldn’t have to end this way, I thought. He didn’t have to sacrifice his life because of me, and now, he expected that I would be happy that he was gone. I could feel the rage building inside of me. It was just like the heat emanating from the boiling fire. I was angry at myself; it wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t fallen. ‘’Everything is because of me!’’ I screamed and hit my chest repeatedly. ‘’if only I had tried my best to convince him then…..’’ I let out another scream as I placed my hand on the ground, tears flooding my eyes. How was I even supposed to live without him by my side? He was selfish, that I believed. He wouldn’t have left me alone and fell to the fire if he were not selfish. He was a selfish man who only thought of himself and not others. If he was not selfish, he should have let me go instead; now, he was gone. ‘’Rain!’’ I leaned against the edge of the step and

    ~Rain~ ‘’watch where you put your feet!’’ I shouted to Cody as we started climbing the valley. It was hard even to walk perfectly because the steps were not straight, and that was not all; it was dark, and the only glint of light we could rely on was the light that had penetrated one of the holes in the valley's walls. It was challenging to walk perfectly, and holding onto the wall was our only support. ‘’soon, we will reach the other side,’’ Cody assured me and laughed. ‘’And then, we will return with the sword, and it will spell the end for Gasin.’’ I should have been laughing alongside him, but I didn’t find the urge to laugh because I thought about many things that could go wrong. I feared something dangerous might happen to us In the valley because Teo had mentioned something about a boiling valley, but I had not seen anything related. I was starting to get worried about what could go wrong. ‘’are you alright? You are not…..ah!’’ he screamed as he tripped and fell.

I couldn't bear to be responsible for wasting precious time, especially knowing Rain would worry. As my legs trembled, they eventually gave way, and I found myself on the ground. "Cody!" Rain rushed over; concern etched across his face. "What's happening? Are you alright?" Gasping for breath, sweat streaming down my face, I shook my head. "I'm not doing well," I confessed, sighing heavily. "I..." Pausing, I noticed the worry in Rain's eyes. "I don't want to impede our progress, and now..." "Mortals," Teo interjected. "I wouldn't blame you if you're getting tired. After all, this is not your home. Don't worry; I'll get you something to eat, and there's a stream down there." He pointed in the right direction. "You can go there and drink some water. I'll fetch food for both of you." With that, he flew away. "Can you walk?
