Freyja’s POV

As I entered into the green maze, my heart raced with a mix of determination and uncertainty. Away from Adam's watchful eyes, my only goal was to find an exit from this place, far away from the walls of the palace. Only then would I be free of my pack, just as I become free from the dragons. To do that, I have to succeed without being caught. If not, it would only put me in more problems.

The dragon prince had failed in his promise to help me escape from my pack, now I only have myself. I don't see why the Dragon Kingdom was any different. But of course, I couldn't hold any of this against him; I was a stranger in his world and he was a stranger in mine.

My pace quickened as I ran through the maze, my senses alert to every twist and turn. Time was of the essence; I knew that soon Adam would discover my deception and come to find me.

I wonder how he would react when he realized I had lied to him. The thought weighed heavy on my heart, considering his kindness to me. He

    Rex’s POVWhat the heck happened back there? How did she manage to ride on Dorgo?That couldn't happen… It is stated, the only ones who can ride the dragons are the weredragons themselves! Especially when Drogo had never allowed any of my people to even ride her. Bewildered, I continued to wonder as we walked back to the palace.Despite my firm grip on her, she continued to struggle, trying to free herself from my hold. Still consumed by my thoughts, I tightened my grip on her, taking her along.There must be missing I'm something about her. There were no written or spoken words that showed Werewolves practicing witchcraft or any form of magic and I knew she wasn't demonic, not someone like her. But the fact that she rode on Dargo left me in doubt. She had rides Drogo without getting hurt. Tonight, after the introduction, I will make her spill the truth.“I've told you before, I can walk on my own! My legs aren't broken! Let me down!” She screamed in her loud-pitched voice, drawing m

    Freyja's POVThe moment the arrogant Prince walked out, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was scared, I had thought he would scold me for riding his dragon, but he didn't. And with that out of the way, I have to think of how to survive in this strange kingdom.“Oh, my darling… I hope the Prince wasn't hard on you?“ The voice of the Queen snapped me out of my thoughts.I looked at her and lowered my head shyly. I was not sure how to act before this powerful woman."I knew it, but you know what? Don't put it in mind. He can be abrasive on the outside, it's all a facade… when you get to know him well, you will know that he is soft and considerate," the Queen added with a smile“Not at all, my Queen. He's been good to me," I responded with my head still bowed. "There you go. Do not cover up for him… I know how my son is," the deadpanned, lifting up my head."You shouldn't go around lowering your head, not when you are with family. You will be the next Queen of Ravkan.

    Freyja’s POV"After you, my Princess," Eva said, showing me in.Unsure of what was lurking ahead, I took baby steps, one step at a time. I cringed as the door closed behind us but I did not stop.We continued through the hallway until we burst into a room. My mouth dropped open and I gasped in awe.The room was well-illuminated. Its walls were high with beautiful paintings placed here and there.I dashed in, appreciating the view.“Is…is this all for me?“ I muttered in astonishment as I beheld different gowns and regalia hanging down from a cloth rack. There were shoe racks and a section of jewelry too.Eva cleared her throat noisily from behind, making me jump. I was lost in my perusal and I had forgotten that I wasn't alone."I am sorry my Princess, I didn't mean to…" Eva apologized but I interrupted her shaking my head."You did nothing wrong… I was carried away," I said, laughing awkwardly.“Very well then… let me lead you to your room." She stepped forward and bowed before me. H

    Rex's POVI heaved a sigh as I stood in front of the whore's chamber, trying to relax before walking in. Frejya has made my day stressful and exhausting and this is all I needed now, a woman to bed to relieve my frustrations. I knew if my parents found out, they would be disappointed, but I didn't care. They can force me to marry a woman but can't control my life. Without hesitation, I pushed the heavy brass door open and I strode in."Your Highness! What are you doing here!?…" Lillian asked in surprise, bowing her head at the same time.I know she wasn't expecting to see me here since I have gotten to pick my mate. But surprisingly, here I am. "What should I do to honor this visit?" She asked, head still bowed. I scoffed and walked past her to get my seat in the middle of the chamber. Women are always determined to do whatever they desire especially when it would favor them.I sat down on the sofa and crossed my legs while glancing at her, thinking of what I would like to do wi

    Freyja’s POVI stood elegantly, dressed like a flawless queen, beautiful and stunning that I would not even find the words to explain if I was asked to. A delicate diamond crown graced my head as my long blonde hair was styled in a bun. What I was seeing was beyond amazement, and beyond my imagination. I couldn't believe the face I was seeing in the mirror reflection. Was this person me? Am I really this beautiful? I wondered as I sat there on the cushion with my hands resting on both sides of my lap. I was still speechless and unable to describe how I felt. "You look exclusively beautiful, your highness" Eva uttered behind me, which spanned me out of my thoughts. I turned to her."Don't you think this is too much?" I asked, lifting up my hand to touch the golden jewelry lying on my neck. The necklaces were up to five diamond crystal necklaces made of rare diamonds. Even during the process of dressing, I was against the diamond on my necklace, but Eva insisted that nothing was too m

    Helen’s POVI still can't believe, everything that happened in the ceremony. How come a common Omega got chosen by the Prince's dragon while I was chosen by just an assistant dragon... Even though he was a cousin to the Prince, that didn't make a difference. He wasn't full of power because he was not! He is just a toy boy that runs errands and follows rules and instructions given to him by the king and queen, even the prince himself! Oh my gosh! I hate this! I'm supposed to be the chosen one for the dragon prince, not that whore omega who doesn't know how to keep her legs shut! I was so full of anger, frustration, and jealousy that I had no choice but to grumble loudly."Fuck! This is torture!" I shouted angrily, almost kicking down the flower vase in front of me. "Please, can you keep it down?" Didi asked, who was lying on a cushion on the other side of the room. We were all kept in a huge fancy hall to wait for our chosen mates to come to get us before meeting the King and queen

    Adam's POVI walked out of the room, leaving Helen behind. She is such a proud and spoiled werewolf, someone who thinks everything should go her way. As soon as I stepped out, I took a deep breath. I know she's not into me and the man she wants is Rex. Instead of me being angry or mad, I wasn't, in fact, I was kind of glad she wasn't into me because I too, wasn't ready to take the responsibility of someone either. Especially committing myself to that person when I have a responsibility to protect my kingdom.I didn't want to waste time because I had an important task at hand to take care of and that was more important than the woman in the room. I strode with my hands in my pockets and continued walking down the passage when I saw two maids approaching my direction. The moment they saw me, they bowed their heads and greeted me, to continue their way, when a thought popped into my head. Helen might need some help to prepare for the ceremony too. "Excuse me," I said. Immediately, they s

    Freyja’s POVThe rest of the meal was eaten in silence, although that didn't stop the strange gaze that was glancing at me on the other side of the table. It felt so odd, that goosebumps appeared on my skin. I raised my head up to meet the eyes that were on me. It was green eyes, the man smiled and whispered words that I could not hear even though I tried to make my werewolf ear stand alert. "You get a beautiful girl as your mate, Rex," the man who was glancing at me said. I looked over at Rex, who stopped eating and placed his hand on my shoulder like he was marking his space."Yeah, I know she is beautiful but she is mine," he said in a cold, intimidating voice that would chase the man away from me. But instead, the man smiled and continued his meal. I felt a little uncomfortable with everything that was going on. I can't just place my finger on it, but I feel some odds about that man. The man with green eyes, I could feel a strange power surrounding him. He glanced at me one more

Starting all over again from the beginning. It seemed like a space that had no light. I was stuck there.I realize that there has been no way for me to go out from where I was. The last I remembered was the painful taste of death. Neither was I alive nor I was dead. I was just in the middle of both. I couldn't help but wonder. I could hear voices around me, familiar voices asking me to wake up. I tried so hard to wake up but I couldn't. I felt suffocated in this space, it was as if I had been tied down. "What is going on?
