Axl's P.O.VIt's the butler who cleared his throat. Turning to him, I found that vaguely uncomfortable look back on his expression and it filled me with apprehension. Does it have to do with my ill Nana? I've always called her Nana since I was a baby and even when I was told Nana was a more suitable nickname for grandmothers, I couldn't stop.Elliot's presence soon filled the spot next to me and he murmured, “Jon, take Axl to go see Nana in the south wing.”“Yes, Lord Elliot.” The butler bowed and I turned to my brother with an arched brow.“Lord?” I asked.He shrugged, his eyes already distracted. “Someone made it to Viscount a few years ago.”“Oh my God!” I gasped in joy but then the pleasant surprise bled out of me as I suddenly had a thought. “What about father? What does he think of it?”“Well, let's just say he's not too happy his first son has more power than him. You know how our father could be sometimes.” Elliot gave me a weak smile and that broke through the mask of his fac
AXLI catch a tear fall from his eyes but he sniffs them back immediately."That's great....that's impressive...I thought that you wouldn't.... you're amazing Axl," he said."Mommy.... who is this person? Is he also our uncle?" Lilly asked me as she studied Ellis."Yes. This is your second uncle, Ellis. Say hi to him" I urged her.Lilly nodded her head and said hello to Ellis. Ellis was almost in tears when she said that. Daniel followed suit and said hello too like his sister but he was a bit colder.Just then, it seemed like Ellis had remembered something."Oh yes...Axl....I saw some guards on my way here....they are not the palace guards....who are they? Did they come with you?" Ellis asked me.I nodded my head shyly. I really didn't need Jerome to make such a big deal and send the guards to follow me but I knew that he wouldn't have let me leave on my own if I didn't have the guards with me."What?! Do you really have your own guards? What have you been doing in the years that you
AXLI nod my head confused. "Yes. What do you mean Ellis?""It's not as easy as you think. You .."."That's enough Ellis. As long as this person loves her, that is all that matters. He is going to protect her" Elliot assured Ellis..I suddenly felt drained. I didn't want my brothers picking apart my relationship with Jerome. I still loved them and I knew that they were just worried for me but we haven't seen each other for six years.They didn't know much about my life, and I didn't know much about their lives now. If we wanted to go back to how we were before, it was going to take some time. It could not happen all at once.I was desperate to change the topic and so I did just that."So..... what are our sleeping arrangements going to be like? The twins can't sleep in a new place without me....I guess we can both sleep in my old room?". I asked.Elliot immediately shook his head. "no way I am letting you sleep there. That was the room of a young girl. You are a mother now and it's no
KAI"Axl! It's you! It's really you!"My sister, my girlfriend, and I were on our way to the Prime Minister's house when I heard her call out a very familiar name.I looked up and followed her line of sight then. I was shocked when I saw who it was.It was Axelle alright....my sister's best friend all those years ago. It was still her, but it was as if it was not her.Everything about her had changed.... everything except her face.She had grown from a weakly young girl into a beautiful young woman. Her entire body had filled out and it was as if she grew into her face because she was even prettier than before.Jennifer hugged Axelle happily and Axelle hugged her back. The both of them looked very happy to see each other. They immediately started chatting.She smiled happily at intervals. I felt something tight in my chest when I saw that smile. Why didn't I know that she had such a beautiful smile before?.Six years go, before she disappeared, she always had her head down whenever I
KAIStella glared at Axl. It was clear that she did not like her the second she saw her. Axl, on the other hand, did not have any expression on her face.It was as if she did not care at all. This was not the Axl I knew. If she met someone who did not like her and made it as obvious as Stella was doing, the first thing she would have done was to run away and hide. But she didn't do that. Instead, she met Stella's gaze with a calm look in her eyes. As if she could not affect her at all.Stella scoffed. "Since you know that I am the King's girlfriend, why didn't you come to greet us? You don't remember your manners just because you've been away for a long time?" Stella sneered at her.I really could not understand why Stella was targeting her out of nowhere. What was she hoping to get out of this?"Stella!" I called out to her."What? Can't I say what's on my mind? She's been gone for so long so maybe she forgot how she's supposed to act when she meets the King?" Stella sneered once aga
AXL's P.O.VI studied the King's expression while also trying my best to keep my emotions hidden. Over the years, because of what I had been through, I had learned to keep my emotions hidden very well so I was now a pro at it.I wondered why he wanted to know so badly why I left. It was none of his business. And besides, he should be happy that I was banished. He never wanted me as his mate. Since I was gone, no one would ever find out that he had a weak mate who did not even have a wolf. What did he call me then...A worthless mutt. Yes, that. He should be glad nobody discovered the goddess ever gave him a mate like me."I don't think that is any of your business, Your Highness." I saw his expression dark when I said this.For a second, I thought that he was going to punish me, and my mouth pooled with saliva. I was so scared that I took a few steps back in fear. I didn't want to deal with his wrath.Although I had been away for almost six years, I still had not forgotten what his ang
AXLI forced a smile on my face. Since he wanted to play the tyrant King, I was going to play along with him. It was not as if I could refuse him anyway. He was the King and I had to do what he wanted.I lead three of them to the front of my Nana's chambers. I turned to leave but he grabbed my hand just then.I turned to look at him with shock evident on my face. What was he doing right now? Did he mistake me for his girlfriend, perhaps?"Your Highness.... please let go of my hand," I said in a controlled voice. If I didn't my temper under check, I had no idea what I was going to do. Maybe I would have to leave immediately because I would be kicked out a second time.Kai just smirked at me. "I thought I told you to lead us to Nana's chambers?" He asked me.I nodded my head. "Yes. And I did just that. This is her chamber. You can go in now," I said, pointing at the door. I tried to remove my hand from his grip but he was still holding on to me tightly and refusing to let go."Where do
AXL's P.O.VStill, I couldn't help but need my father's affection.Like a starved little girl, I stared at him, hoping to get a reaction out of him. But he was already talking with someone else. It was as if he could not be bothered about my existence. I was probably a stain in his life that he badly wanted to get rid of at all costs.I looked over at Nana and there was a worried look in her eyes."Axl ....come over here," she called out to me. She reached out her hand and I could see the fear in her eyes. I think she was worried that I was going to leave.I smiled and tried to walk over to her and that was when I felt someone holding onto my hand. I frowned and tried to wrench my hand away but the grip was still holding on to me tightly. Without looking, I knew it was King KaelWhat did he want from me? Was he oblivious to the fact that everyone in the room might get the wrong idea if he kept this shameless behavior up? I wanted to wipe off the smirk on his face with a punch but the
AXELLA"And how did you come to this conclusion that it was all a lie? One thing I can see is that your mate really loves you Axl. He took care of you and your kids all these years. He never let you suffer. Because he was guilty, he wanted to keep the truth away from you as much as possible. Are you really just going to throw all of these things away because of a simple mistake? I need you to think about this carefully if it is worth it!" Jenson said."You don't know anything. You are just a wolf. You have no idea how hurt I am!" I yelled at her."Of course, I am your wolf. But you seem to forget that I am a part of you Axl, I am not some separate person. I am you. I see what you see and I feel what you feel. You are just trying to run away because you are scared now. But if you really stop and look into yourself, you know that his love for you is simply not something that you can deny. You have every right to be mad that he kept it away from you for so long. But don't throw away all
KAII sighed as I walked around the palace. Although I had always been rude and mean to Jerome, he was not cruel to me when I arrived in his pack. In fact, he really treated me well.I had to give him points for that. I didn't think that I would have been able to do it. If a man who was in love with my mate arrived in my pack, trying to take her away with me, I would have lost my mind that was for sure. I'd make sure that he never came close to her even if that was the last thing I did.But he placed Elliot and I in a suite and he really treated us well. I was starting to see why Axl had picked him over me. No matter what, she was always his top priority.I wasn't stupid. I knew that if Jerome had his way, he would throw me in the sea and feed me to the sharks. But because Axl's brother was here, he was being polite to me. He considered Axl's feelings above everything else.I was really scared now. Would I be able to win her back at all?The more I thought about it, the more scared I
AXL"After he kicked her out of the pack, my parents came back to their own pack. But this was just the begining of another set of troubles for them. My uncle who had been in the pack with my grandfather thought that he was the one who would become the King after my grandfather. He was already prepared for this. Of course, this was not going to happen as Mt father was the first son. As soon as he came back, my father took back the throne from him""My uncle did not want to accept this. He started a war to take the pack away from my father but he was defeated horribly. He never stood a chance against my father. Despite the fact that he was given a lot of chances to change, he refused to take any of them and he was constantly thinking about how he was going to take the throne for himself. My father had to banish him and his family. I guess, my uncle did not want to feel like he had lost. He wanted to think that he had won and so he became the leader of the rouges" Jerome explained to me
AXLI paced up and down in my bedroom. I was really worried about what was going on. We just dealt with one brother of his and now there was another sister.I wanted to know why Jerome did not tell me all of these things about him. I thought that I knew him well enough but it turned out that I didn't even know a single thing about him. He has really kept it away from me well.I was still pacing when my door was open and Jerome walked in.He had a tired look on his face and I immediately lost all of my will to question him. I didn't want to make things even harder on him."Jerome...." I called out.He sat on my bed and pulled me to sit down with him."I....what is going on? She's your sister? How come I didn't know about this?" I asked."I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her at first. It's just....I don't even have an excuse for keeping it away from you. I just didn't want you to know about the dark past of my family. I wanted to appear perfect in front of you. I didn't know it was all
AXL"What do you mean? Kai....he can't be here. That's just not possible!" I had already rejected him. I made it clear when I was leaving that I didn't want him following me. He had to be completely crazy to follow me here!Jerome looked at me. There was some questioning in his eyes and that made me feel bad all of a sudden. I didn't want him to think that I was going back to him or anything like that.I no longer loved him. I wanted to love Jerome and that was what I did. I chose the man who showed me more than enough kindness. I was going to stick with that."Well, he here's right now and we have no choice but to go see them!" Jerome said.I wanted to hold him back and ask why he was being like to but I thought to myself that he was probably going through a lot already and that I should not make it even more worse for him.I nodded my head and I went out with him.We arrived at the big hall where Kai and my brother were waiting for us.My eyes widened when I saw Elliot. I wanted to
KAI"You want to leave tommorow? I don't think that's such a good idea sir. You are not fully healed. You could get hurt on the Journey there..." The Doctor said.I turned to glare at him when he said this. I didn't think that he had the right to tell me what to do. I had already decided that I was going and nothing was going to stop me."It's fine, Master. Since he wants to leave, I am sure that he knows what he is doing and he knows his body best" Estrella was on my side once again.I looked at her suspiciously. It was already more than enough that she saved all of our lives but why was she going so far to help us?I didn't want to think too much into it but I didn't have a choice at all.I sighed. It was not as if I could say no to her help. I needed it more than anything else.I turned to Elliot. "So we are going to set out tommorow!"He nodded his head in agreement."You should come with me. I have some rooms prepared. It's not much but you can rest there till we need to leave to
KAIWas the moon goddess playing games with me now? How was this even possible? I was mated to Axl before but then I rejected her as my mate. She didn't reject me back so we still had the mate bond between each other.But then somehow she managed to get mated to someone else and then she came back six years later and broke he mate bond with me.Now, I was getting mated to someone else? I really could not understand what was going on. I desperately needed someone to explain to me."Are you listening to me?" She asked me.I looked up to see that she was looking at me with big blue eyes. I felt a big guilty for no reason at all. I also felt the mate bond between her once again. It was getting stronger and stronger. There had to be some mistake somewhere."Yes...." I said even though I knew that I was not listening to her."Good, because I was saying that you were really brave. My name is Estrella by the way. You had no idea how to swim and you could have died in that water. It's all part
"No. ..I am not getting up. I don't know what to do anymore. I am only doing this because it is my last resort. I really want you to know that I am sorry for all that I have done. I know that I was a real monster to your sister. I don't deserve her. Not after the way I treated her. But I love her. I hope you can see how much I love her. I don't care if I have to make up to her using the rest of my life. I am more than happy to do that. So please.... please just help me out here. Give me a chance will you?" I begged.I did not think I was above begging for any second. I wanted her back and I was more than willing to work for it."Your Highness please...""Kai. It's Kai. We are friends Elliot. We don't have to be so polite with each other. I don't want to lose your sister for good. And I don't want to lose you as my friend. I really don't know what I'd do if I didn't have both of you in my life. I am sure I am going to lose my mind if that happened. Please....please just listen to me an
KAI"No. I am begging you. She deserves to be happy. Please just let her be happy with Jerome"The words that Elliot said kept ringing over and over again in my head. What did he mean by that?! He really thought that I would not be able to make his sister happy?"What do you mean? I already apologized for the way I treated her. I knew that I was wrong. I am sorry. All that I want now is a chance to prove that I can really be good for her!" I argued. I really thought that I deserved a second chance at least. Everyone else go to have second chances. Why was that impossible for me?Elliot shook his head. "You still don't get it, Your Highness. Even now, all that you are thinking about is Yourself. You think that you are the only one who matters here. It doesn't matter if she's not in love with you. All that matters is that you're in love with her. Everyone else should suffer just so that you can be happy. That's what you think!" He said accusingly.I shook my head. I did not think that I
