"did you eat ?" was the first thing he spoke and she shook her head in negative."good , we will eat together then ." he commented sitting on the couch his demeanour screamed power and strength .she took small steps towards him standing couple feet away " actually I want to talk to you about something your majesty ." she mastered the courage to speak"hmm.. what is it?" he looked at her waiting for her to speak ." em.. I .. I was thinking about the woman Savannah. " she spoke" and?" " your majesty I don't want to attend such classes ."" and why ?" he spoke calmly " I know how to sit like a lady and even how to behave like one my grandmother taught me well , I don't need her to change my behaviour nor manners , I don't want to sit in that painful position just to let people know am a queen , your majesty. " she spoke softly trying to reason with him" being a queen is far from being a lady sweet heart. " he responded " I don't want to change ME." she reasoned" you will become a
" no disobedience? and.... no disrespect !!!" she exclaimed trying to recall .Zanthus sighed in anger yet tried to control himself " there should be no word called *no* in your dictionary when you're talking to me , you don't have the right to talk back , obey every command , and never disrespect me in any form , don't you dare do anything without asking for my permission." he spoke calmly scaring her in the" does that ring a bell?" he added almost glaring at her.she nodded nervously .a knock interrupted them, after taking his permission Savannah came in bowing to her alpha king " your majesty, your grace .." she greeted" you may start. " spoke the alpha king immediately as Savannah nodded "right away alpha king. "" your grace can you please walk over to me just like how we learned yesterday?"wren sighed "yes." she stood up walking towards Savannah shoulders spread as wide as she could, back straight, head held high and she couldn't fist her dress fabric in her hands to preven
Zanthus looked down at his frightened little mate , how her fragile frame shook in fear on his bed ,how tears fell smoothly down her pink cheeks and even how her little hands fisted the sheets under her .He then noticed the nasty bruise forming on her wrist , ' I didn't grab her wrist that hard !' he exclaimed thinking .an earth shaking growl came out of his chest making her scream in terror while he literally punched a hole on the door .her shaking got even worst as she hugged her knees to her chest crying herself .Zanthus left her there on his bed leaving his wing for a run in the forest .he just couldn't hurt his little precious mate .maids heard her screams of terror while cleaning the living room of his wing and ran to her after they made sure their king left.Sunny tried comforting her whispering sweet things to her " it's okay Luna you're fine, everything's fine. "it didn't take long for mother Eleanor to hear what happened from maids so she hurried to her son's wing in
-ATHENA-Amoux's eye blazed as he looked at us with all the hate he could muster, making me add more sweetness to my smile."You speak a lot," Amoux complemented Atti, "I hope you are also capable of doing the work,""You'd be more than surprised with all the things I could do," Atti shot back beamingly, making Amoux press his lips in a thin line. "And if we stop talking and get down to work then you'd be able to see what I'm talking about," She added.Amoux's eyes burned into us for a couple more moments before he declared, "His Majesty would be here soon for that,""What do you mean?""Are you having trouble with basic comprehension?""I'm having trouble comprehending what he has to do with this," I told him."Why? He'd be going with us," Amoux spoke, making me frown. I wasn't expecting this and I just couldn't start to wonder why he was coming to this trip. He wasn't needed in it in any way and besides, Amoux was already sexist and chauvinist enough. I don't think we would be able
" oh .. isn't that Tanya Rants?" asked Ethan" indeed brother. " responded Eram " who's she ?" asked Rebecca curiously." she's the alpha king's fiancee, well she was ." informed Ethan looking at his Luna .wren felt something weird crawl from her heart up to her neck, restless, that's what she felt ." was it before my arrival?" asked Rebecca" yes honey." answered the beta " Luna ! are you going to stay still ?" spoke Rebecca in disbelief" what can I do ?" said wren " you go and stand next to your mate that's what you can do. " responded Rebecca while getting closer to her mate if possible .wren took another glance towards her mate and the other woman , she saw how the female took every chance possible to touch her mate and that bothered her immensely.without second thoughts she walked towards them as graceful as she is, she went straight to her mate's embrace , he was obviously huge and so much taller than her yet she managed to take him by surprise making him wrap his strong
a golden tray hit the floor making a sickening noise in the process , drinks were spilled everywhere, a maid went to her knees crying her heart out in shock .king Zanthus ran to his pained mate " I'm.. I'm fine, I'm fine it's alright. " she spoke softly he helped her stand up checking out every inch of her body to make sure it's fine " hot .. some of the drinks are hot ."her dress drenched in hot tea burning her chest in the process , her mate held her bridal style taking her towards his wing calling for a healer through maids , who scurried around as fast as they could .it didn't take her mate couple of minutes to reach his chamber which was oddly fast .Queen Eleanor hot on their heels, she hurried inside the master room where the king put his mate on the bed and helped her take off her dress ." I will help her with that , go bring another dress for her. " said Eleanor " and you bring me a wet cloth." she ordered a maid who got into action right away .king Zanthus brought one
" NO. You're not going anywhere. " he ordered sternly." She will son . she's a queen what would they say out there , she hid behind the doors of your wing?" interfered mother Eleanor" she has to show them she's there for them no matter what happens ." added Eleanor" Mother , my mate is injured, she won't leave that bed, not until I say so." he challenged" Son this way you won't give her a chance to earn the pack's respect ."" she's my mate they can't not respect her ." he pointed out" I know, yet what if you go away for matters outside the castle ? how would they treat her , tell me .?" spoke Eleanor" Mother no single soul on this planet can step on my mate was it in my presence or in my absence so no worries they wouldn't dare ."" well Tanya Rants already did ." glared Eleanor" And that's why she's getting punished ." he spoke coldly" y..your majesty , I .. I guess we should listen to mother Eleanor, nothing will happen to me I won't leave your side I promise ." stuttered w
the once attractive lady with long red hair and beautiful big eyes is gone, sweat and bruises covered the few parts her dress didn't succeed to hide ,chained to the ceiling, the chains were long enough to let her kneel on the ground, miserable, that's how she looked .a loud gasp echoed through the scary halls of the dungeons, wren took few steps back in fear and helplessness." w..w..what happened ?" she whispered not so sure if anyone heard her or if she spoke the words or not, she felt in a haze." you will receive your punishment tomorrow morning ." he informed." until then no guard is allowed to touch her, understood." he added forcefully making the guard bow and the ladies jump in surprise.wren took baby steps carefully towards the broken girl , kneeling down next to her " what have they done to you?" she whispered in shock lips wobbling and eyes full of tears.Tanya simply whimpered, not having the courage to speak. wren on the other hand felt an arm around her waist hoistin
9 years later 'oh for goodness sake Knox,' Sophia grumbled angrily, watching her mate stalk an 11 year old boy who had given their daughter Grace a rose from the gardens,'try Dante,' Venus scoffed, remembering how her mate had growled at a boy who called Athena pretty and complimented her dress, she remembered how she had to pull her mate to the side and give him a full scolding for being so overprotective,'at least you have one girl, I have two and a possessive crazy beta wolf to deal with,' Sophia grounded out, the couple now had another 3-year-old baby girl, she was the exact replica of her father but her features were soft, Nina, as Knox insisted they name her also had her fathers characteristics, 'where are they now,' Venus murmured, they were all out in the gardens, having a little picnic, their mates and kids had wandered off somewhere playing hide and seek, James and Gabriel said they would join them in a while because they had some work to do.'wow vee you've worked up
Searing pain gripped his entire being, his chest was heaving, his breath coming out in short uneven pants, and a vicious growl escaped his chest he felt like his lungs were on fire,he felt the bond break, and he felt his Lycan whine out in pain before he vanished, he heard screams around him but they fell deaf on his ears.Dante looked up, his vision blurry, all he saw was a nurse pulling the doctor back to the operation room, Knox trying to get him to stand up while James slipped to the floor unconscious.His senses were dulled out but the pain in his chest didn't, his head lolled back and rested against the wall, Sophia and Knox tended to him while Gabriel was with James, 'tell her to come back to me,' he rasped in pain, as Sophia gently cupped his cheek and cried, Knox's shoulders dropped in defeat, his friend just lost his everything, 'Dante please please get it together please, the babies-,' Sophia sobbed out, trying to get him to zone back in, gently shaking him but his eyes
2 weeks had passed since that incident, the air between the alpha and luna was tense but even a fool could tell they'd die for each other in a heartbeat, when problems would arise they'd put their differences aside and be there for each other to the fullest, because that was what love meant, to hold onto each other even when the storm is at its loudest, threatening to rip them apart.'i swear he's so dumb like its right behind you,' James screeched angrilyVenus giggled and continued to munch on her snacks while Sophia shook her head at them, they were watching a new show that Gabriel had suggested, and anything Gabriel suggests is always a must-watch,'i feel like the girl is the killer for some reason,' Venus muttered, she was due in a week and today of all days she felt better, she had the energy to sit at least and not feel like she was about to pass out every few minutes,they were waiting for the healer to arrive to give Venus her potion, Dante, Knox, and Gabriel were in the r
1 month later'stupid protective Lycan,' venue huffed angrily stuffing her 4th pancake in her mouth and chewing on it like she had all the time in the world,it's like the man didn't even know what space was, he was always after her, heck this morning he decided he wanted to carry her down the stairs after Venus had grounded out a firm no, the stubborn lycan picked her up and sauntered down the staircase.her angry outburst fell deaf on his ears, she was going to be round and fat in a week if this kept up, she was only two months along and he was acting like this, the thought of how he would be when she was a few months pregnant from now made her shudder.The first few weeks were hectic with the checkups and always being careful but she had now learned to get used to it.James and Sophia would visit every second day and they were also very protective of her, it wasn't only a friend thing but she was the luna carrying the future heir, so the protectiveness therein doubled.'hey soph,'
Venus woke up to blinding white lights, white walls, a hospital bed, and a very very fuming Dante who was watching her like a hawk, ready to pounce her, the pack doctor standing right beside him giving Venus a sheepish smile.'w-what happened?' venus asked, her throat parchedsilently Dante walked towards her, filled up a cup with water, and had her drink it, the pack doctor cleared his throat and looked up at venus smiling, 'congratulations luna, you're pregnant,'silence,silence so loud venus could hear her heart beating wildly out of her chest, blood roaring in her ears,'how long-''you're almost over a month pregnant now,' the pack doctor replied, sensing his alpha's heated gaze which he couldn't meet so he excused himself, saying he had to bring some tests back from the lab.a heavy eerie silence enveloped the room and venus could have sworn that the door Dante was glaring at would catch fire any second, or he would glare a hole through it.'say something,' Venus whispered mee
A month had passed since Knox and Sophia had their beautiful daughter and things had been going smoothly other than the fact that rogue sighting had increased a lot, this would happen every few years, rogues would reproduce amongst themselves a lot and they'd try getting into pack territory.the warriors would chase them off the territory but they wouldn't stop coming back, they wouldn't attack but they'd move around. Dante had been in contact with neighboring pack alphas to know that they were dealing with a similar situation, and dealing with all of that as well as trying to find an effective solution to the problem was had Dante busy for weeks straight, Knox would help now and then but he was mostly at home with the baby and Sophia which doubled work on Dante and Gabriel.it was after dinner that Dante and Venus finally got an hour to themselves, a soft kiss from Venus soon turned passionate and ended up with them making love right next to the fireplace in the living room,'i mi
'ARE YOU KIDDING ME KNOX,' Sophia screechedAll those wondering what happened, Sophia and Knox invited everyone over for dinner, Venus, Dante, James, Gabriel, and a few other friends of Knox and Sophia, long story short, right after dinner Venus and Sophia were messing around in the kitchen while getting desert, and Venus may or may not have jump scared Sophia which caused her water to break...it was complete havoc, to say the least.Sophia was actually a week overdue, so she wasn't surprised when her water broke, the heavily pregnant blonde was as calm as the sea but the same couldn't be said for her big mate who was knocking over chairs and decoration pieces in a rush to get the baby bag and zip Sophia to the hospital,frustrated at how her mate was sweating, INSISTING he carried her and actually swooping her up into his arms without waiting for her reply, acting like she was dying, Sophia had enough.'Knox,' Sophia seethed, trying to grab a hold of him,the big man paid no heed t
He had to find her, passing a look to Knox to take over the meeting he shifted and lunged across the room, he had to get to her.'Venus, baby where are you' he tried mind linking her but he got no response at all 'don't go anywhere and stay where you are' Pushing his legs faster he ran like his life depended on it, and it did, his life did depend on it,reaching the middle of the dense forest he tried finding paw-prints but found none, angling his head up he breathed in deeply, he found what he was looking for, her scent.Running in the direction the scent led him, after two minutes of constant running he came across a ledge, his heart sunk, this is where her scent ended and she wasn't here she coul- no no she couldn't, trying to calm his Lycan and himself, so lost in his inner battle of where his mate could be and if she was okay or not he wasn't aware of his surroundings and heart a twig snap to his right,jerking his head towards the side he stepped closer to the bushy area, ca
'what do you mean I won't be able to have pups?' Venus whispered in disbelief, her honey-brown eyes wide with unshed tears, as her lower lip trembled and the color in her cheeks heightened from the internal hysteria her body was feeling.Dante sighed and went to sit next to her on the bed, 'Venus, despite the fact that you have alpha blood running in you doesn't make you strong enough in regards to carrying my pup, I am a Lycan, a full lycan, not one part of me is a werewolf, a Lycan pregnancy is very different, its very painful and the mother has to be a lycan to be able to withstand and birth a healthy lycan pup, in this regard you cannot give birth Venus, I'm sorry, I can't stand the thought of losing my mate in the process of giving me pups, I refuse to put you through that.''b-but Sophia and Knox- e-even he was afraid to have pups but everything is oka-' Venus said in manic, her voice trembling as if trying to convince herself and Dante it would work,Dante sensing her panic
