Chapter 18 Zayn’s P.O.V.I felt like a complete fool, I couldn’t bare to face Arwen or even my siblings. I hadn’t even been working. All I’d done since coming into my office was sit behind my desk, playing over and over again in my mind what had just happened. I let my pride get in the way of the love I have for my mate. I know I have a lot of faults but I never in a million years thought I would sabotage the relationship between myself and my mate. The goddess does not make mistakes. I had no idea how long I'd been sat behind when there was a knock at the door. Before I could even answer Miranda walked into the room straight past an annoyed looking Grayson.Grayson glanced at me “I’m sorry my king she just walked straight in”Miranda turned around and shot Grayson with an evil look “when I’m queen I’ll be sure to get rid of you”I growled at her but she simply ignored that it was aimed at her, continuing “You see Grayson even the king agrees with me”Turning towards me, her face sho
Chapter 19 Pontus’ POV I'd been in my office for hours, with Almeda sitting on one of the couches with her feet up balancing the book she was reading on her swollen belly. Having her close at that moment helped to keep my wolf calm enough to get some work done.I went over what little information I had from the documents I had found in the library. From what I could gather, my mother and father held a meeting with a seer about Zayn and his mate. Although there is information missing, it foretold of a powerful wolf who is fated to be our next queen. She will arrive on the 27th day of the third month. Together, the king and queen would rid our species of the wolves who sought to harm those wolves who could not defend themselves. That’s where it ends, a tear in the paper prevents any more of the document from being read. The 27th March is the date of birth of all the females brought to the royal pack in order to marry Zayn. The only conclusion I can take from this is that Father and m
Chapter 20Zayn POV“I was angry, and threw myself into running the royal pack and overlooking those that did not belong to one of my siblings. Females from all packs came to the kingdom, to try and throw themselves at me all to become the next Queen. It angered me even more, and I’ll admit I used them as entertainment, as they wanted to use me, but then I met you. That first night I didn't fully understand the pull I had to you, you didn't know I was the king, yet you wanted me regardless. You even worried I would get hurt or in trouble for being your mate. Never once worried that meeting your mate meant you would not get to be the king's mate. I loved you for that and my cold heart started to beat again. I knew I was blessed the moment I looked into your eyes.” It felt strange and also like a huge wait had been lifted off my shoulder as I finally spoke out loud what was hidden in my heart. The others in the room blurred in my vision, as if it was only the two of us in the room.“As
Chapter 21 Isabella’s POV “Oh hell no”!! Zayn said, holding Arwen impossibly close to his chest as he nuzzled into her neck. I wasn't too sure how she was still able to breath. “Zayn, please take a breath and calm yourself and shadow down, if you squeeze Arwen any harder, she won't be able to breath”. I told him while shaking my head, male wolves are so damn annoying. I waited a moment before for Zayn to allow Arwen a little bit of freedom from his death grip, “Arwen, how are the two of us going to deal with the rogues?” “Honestly, I don't know all the details yet, I'm sorry, but Iris is insisting only the two of us can do this, and we will find our answers in the nearby human territory.” she replied, but the answer did nothing to quell my worry. Arwen has no training and although her wolf is powerful she has only just been fully connected with Iris, not to mention Arwen has never left her parents house, what would it be like for her to step into the real world, it could be sens
Chapter 22 Arwen's PVO I assumed Zayn would take me to his room next to mine, but instead he took me to his underground chamber. I protested many times that I could walk on my own, but he refused to put me down, and all I could do was cuddle into his chest my ear against his peck as i listened to his heart beat, his scent engulfing me and calming my racing heart, it did not help having Iris, in the back of my mind, telling me to mark our mate. “Shush you horny wolf, I’m nervous enough as it is”. We entered the room before Zayn closed the door behind us with his foot, and in hurried steps took me to the bed. He placed me down gently at the edge of his bed, he began kneeling on the floor in front of me, looking me in my eyes. He said with so much love on his face “ if at any time, my love, you want me to stop just tell me. I want this to be enjoyable for both of us” I nodded my head a little too eagerly causing his eyes to turn unbeliverly dark with lust. “I think it's only right tha
Chapter 23Demeter PVOI’m happy for my sibling’s finding their mates, but it does make me feel slightly envious. I would love to find my mate, that one person who was meant just for you, made with you in mind. To not only be your lover, but your confidant, your best friend, the other half of your soul, the person who will complete you. I can’t help but sigh before taking a deep breath and plastering a blank expression on my face before entering Arwens room. Instead of my brothers, I hope to catch them off guard. Walking to the door that leads into the communal area, I quietly open the door just a crack before using my heightened hearing to listen into the females on the other side of the door.“I still can’t believe the king would request, that little whore to his room!”“I know there is nothing special about the girl”“The king must be just using her and keeping the female he actually wants pure and untouched until the mating ceremony.”“That’s a very good point, all these females
Chapter 1 - Stupid duty It was far too nice of an evening to have to be doing this, but there she was standing in front of the mirror, preparing herself for a ritual that could change her life forever. Dragging a brush through her long sleek brown hair, tutting as it tangles at the end. She Pulls a little harder out of frustration. "stupid hair, stupid brush, stupid duty". Taking a deep breath as that last word passed her lips, she knew this day was coming. She had known for as long as she could remember and yet she dreaded it, the feeling she had in the pit of her stomach made her feel ill, but she pushed the sensation aside as she forced the old-fashioned paddle hairbrush from root to tip one last time. Having heard a lot about the King of their race, and how he used females like her for sport, before discarding them like no more than a bug on his windscreen, it disgusted her. Yet here she was waiting in her bedroom to be dressed by her chambermaid, for his pleasure. She felt li
Chapter 2 - lambs to the slaughter Haytham, yawned as he wiped the fresh rogue blood from his blade, his weapon of choice had always been a sabre, or his wolf's sharp teeth, both with long curved razor-sharp edges. which made each kill more pleasurable. Looking over the limp body now laying by his feet in disgust, Haytham quickly kneeled on one knee checking the pockets of the dead male, his hands making quick work of the job at hand. He had been following his enemy for some time, stalking him through the dense woodland he now found himself in. Placing the wallet he'd found on his enemy's lifeless body into the pockets of his long leather jacket, Haytham took the dead male's iPhone, showing it to the corpse's face to open the phone with face ID, before adding his face and number code to the phone. Standing up to his full height he placed the phone in his pocket with the wallet. His body's height and the girth of his shoulders would have made even the biggest of humans look like a st
