**ALICE**

As I left the stable area, my thoughts were still consumed by the revelation that my brother, Prince Alastair, had a mate. It was something I hadn't expected, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions about it. I had always seen Alastair as my confidant, my partner in crime, and now it seemed there was someone else who held a special place in his heart. I needed to understand more about this situation, but for now, I had other duties to attend to.

Later that evening, I found myself in the conference room, obliged to attend a meeting regarding the state of the kingdom's finances. It was a duty that came with being a member of the royal family, even though I played no direct role in the financial matters of the kingdom.

The meeting concluded after an hour, and as my mother, the queen, left the room, I noticed Alastair engaged in a conversation with Ryle, his trusted horseman. Despite my desire to speak with my brother, he seemed wholly absorbed in his discussion with Ryle,

    Chelsea"Here are the things you told me to bring, Milady," Ryle said respectfully, standing before me in front of the Prince's bedchamber. He handed me the carton he had been carrying, and I gratefully accepted it. The embarrassing incident from our first encounter still lingered in my mind—when I had mistaken him for a woman and Alastair had introduced him to me. Ryle, with his red hair and composed demeanor, was nothing but kind. He had even gone to my house personally, assuring me that no one else would touch my belongings."Thank you so much," I replied with a gentle smile, accepting the carton from him. Despite his reserved demeanor, there was something about Ryle that felt distant and cold. Yet, I couldn't deny his sense of responsibility and dedication."It's my pleasure, milady," he responded respectfully, his voice carrying a hint of formality.As I studied his calm expression, I found myself debating whether or not to ask him something that had been lingering in my mind."Do

    Alastair"Why did you lock the door? Were you doing something bad?" I questioned as I entered the room. Chelsea didn't reply verbally, but the sight of the open carton across the window spoke volumes.I took a deep breath as I turned to her. "I will take a shower." I was so freaking exhausted. So, no, I wouldn't trouble her with those.Chelsea didn't respond to my question but gave me an empty look, probably wondering why I bothered to inform.I moved, grabbing a towel and pointing toward the bathroom. "Let's go in."“W—what?” She stammered, clearly surprised by my words. "M-me too?" Her voice trembled with nervousness, and her wide eyes held a hint of uncertainty. It was as if I had just suggested something entirely unexpected."Yes, you too," I replied firmly, noting the fear in her large eyes. She had always been timid, but I had to admit, her reaction intrigued me."W-why?" Her stuttering only added to her nervousness, and I wondered what was going on in her mind.I tilted my head,

    ChelseaFeeling his presence behind me, I couldn't help but tilt my head up to meet his gaze, and in that moment, my heart seemed to skip a few beats. Alastair was standing incredibly close, his dark eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that left me breathless. “I love to have a cup of grey tea before bathing and read magazines while bathing.” His whispered words only added to the swirling chaos of the butterflies in my stomach.As I reluctantly moved to follow his instructions and leave the bathroom, he caught my hand from behind, and I couldn't deny the jolt of electricity that shot through me at his touch."Everything has been drawn by the time I was in the study room. I was just enlightening you.” he said.I felt dumbfounded all of a sudden. By his touch, everything just went messier. I cursed under my breath as I felt my cheeks heat up. Wow, I was even blushing now. I didn't know why I was acting so nervous and different. Indeed, he was tempting and we were all alone inside the

    ChelseaWithout saying another word, Alastair left me standing there and moved further into the bathroom. I watched as he discarded his clothes, revealing his toned physique, and put on his bathrobe. He turned on the shower, letting the water cascade down his body. The silence in the room seemed to press upon me, and I focused my attention on his figure through the thick glass partition. The sight of him was undeniably captivating. His dark hair glistened with water as he ran his hands through it, and he looked every bit the royal prince he was. But, hold on…we were not there. We were arguing. He was insulting me. To be exact, I was sensitive. So, I was supposed to be mad.I breathed, bit my lip and tried to find my composure. "So that's about being comfortable," he remarked, his voice cutting through the silence, and I realized he was referring to our earlier conversation.I was determined not to let his cool demeanor affect me. “Yeah,” I replied, still feeling flustered.“Since yo

    **RYLE**Standing behind Alastair, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease settle in the pit of my stomach. The man before me was not the Alastair I had come to know over the past few days. He had been different, almost unrecognizable, in a way that had given me a glimmer of hope for change. But now, that hope seemed to be slipping away, replaced by a growing concern.I watched as he furiously tossed files from his desk into the trash one by one, his face contorted in irritation with each document he discarded. It was as if he had returned to his old self, the ruthless prince who had no qualms about firing employees at the slightest inconvenience. Even his super-fast decisions regarding the detainees, which had momentarily slowed down, were now back with a vengeance. His temper had been escalating for the past three days, and it was reaching an unbearable level.A soft sigh escaped my lips, though I knew it would go unnoticed amid the chaos of flying papers. I had been standing here

    AlastairMy eyes remained fixed on the woman who had entered my chamber, wearing an elegant gown that contrasted sharply with the turmoil she had just stirred. Chelsea, her name echoed in my mind, and her piercing gaze bore into mine with a mixture of anger and defiance. She stood there, unyielding, a stark contrast to the woman beside her—Ms. Beth, who seemed somewhat disappointed.Ms. Beth’s feelings were of little concern to me at the moment. What consumed my thoughts was the woman before me, Chelsea. She had been playing a cat-and-mouse game with me for the past three days, and the orchestrator of this elaborate dance was none other than Ms. Beth herself. Three days ago, in a fit of frustration, I had ordered Ms. Beth to keep Chelsea away from my chambers. She had dutifully complied, which was acceptable. What was not acceptable, however, was that Ms. Beth had not sent Chelsea to me for any reason in these past three days. It was as if she had disappeared from my world entirely.I

    ChelseaOutside the room, I couldn't help but wear a sad expression as I looked at Ms. Beth. She had confided in me about my brother's will just yesterday, a plea for help that Alastair had coldly declined to consider. My hopes had soared when Kai went inside to talk with him, believing that perhaps Alastair had finally taken notice of the situation. However, it was clear now that he had known all alon yet refused to cooperate.“How can a man be so mean?” I lamented, clenching my teeth and fists as if I were ready to confront him. In just a few days, Ms. Beth had carved a deeper place in my heart. She was an incredible person who cared about everyone, not just the prince she served.A soft chuckle escaped Ms. Beth's lips, a rare occurrence that drew my attention. “He surely has his reasons. Let's forget about that. However, you did well, Chelsea.” She reached out and held my hand, giving it a proud shake.I was confused by her words. "I did well?" I repeated, my expression shifting fro

    ChelseaThere was still a day left before the event, but it seemed as though everyone in the palace was operating on the assumption that it was starting in just an hour. I couldn't help but be amazed at how efficiently things were being prepared. The grand hall was nearly adorned to perfection. Lavish tables and chairs were neatly arranged to the side, and the room was adorned with various flowers and candles on tall stands. The chandeliers added a touch of elegance to the space, while the gobos, recessed lights, and string lights on the dance floor added a subtle charm.At the moment, everyone seemed to be in a rush, scurrying around to hang magnificent portraits of the famous artists who would be attending the event tomorrow night.With a determined step, I left the bustling hall behind and ascended to the second floor of the palace. There, I encountered two maids in a passageway, one of them pushing a hanger trolley filled with a set of blazers, pants, and shirts. I guessed that the

    His order had a tone of possessiveness. The fact he wanted her to hate her ex-boyfriend was something that set her in bewilderment. The flare of fury wasn't there in his eyes anymore. He ordered, but at some points, it seemed like pleading, as if his eyes begged her to do what his mouth had said.“You got that?”Only when she nodded, he moved away whilst her reddened eyes trolled to the lump of his throat that bobbed what felt like nervousness.“You shouldn't even attempt to do anything reckless. I would despise that.” With that, he trudged out of the room, didn't bother to steal a second glance at her who already had tears flowing down her cheeks.Ryle left the crypt when he received a call from the Prince. He ordered him to be in the study as soon as possible. Ryle saw the dead body of the guard and already assumed something bad had happened. It was another guard who confirmed that the female Alpha brought here saw Lucian. She wasn't supposed to know about this secret. The mess was

    “Your highness. Is there anything wrong?”Alastair, who had his attention fixed on the patio, let out a loud snort in response to the inquiry that was posed by the guard standing next to him. "Who was in charge of doing the monitoring thingy that was supposed to be done in this area?" He asked, gaze still not leaving the terrace.“I made sure there was no one around.” The guard retorted confidently. “But is there anything wrong, your highness?” The way his Prince sounded did not give him any good vibe.Anxiety erupted throughout the guard's body as Alastair hissed and gripped the back of his neck with his sharp claws digging into his skin. Because of the potentially dangerous tension, the other males there became numb in their spots.Soon after, the Prince decapitated the guard by snapping his neck to his left, and blood gushed out of his body. “Then who is that, Mister fartknocker?” He gritted his teeth dangerously whilst his lips formed a smile at his mate who had been watching his

    Days were passing by so fast like in a blink of an eye. Alastair came to sleep daily after that night but late. Either Chelsea would be sleeping or he would fall asleep faster without saying a word to her. In the morning, Chelsea never found him in the room. She couldn't help but wonder what time on the earth he leaves and what mystery he unravels so early in the morning.The rest of the palace remained unchanged except for the fact that Reagan had left, she didn't know when but it was indeed a relief.“There, Chelsea.” Kai lifted his forefinger to point toward the wood behind the palace. “We used to fight there with each other every single day.”“Every single day?” asked Chelsea. Her stare followed down the direction he had indicated. From the elevation, she could appreciate the crowns of the trees, and the narrow pathways that led to the deeper parts of the forest.Chelsea took a few deep breaths while holding the terrace's fine concrete balustrade and allowing the clean air to invi

    After the error appeared on the screen, Alastair slapped the keyboard in frustration and turned in the direction from where the sound of gasps filled the room. “Why are you here?” asked Alastair.He wasn't even ready to see Chelsea let alone the company she had brought. However, he assumed it was otherwise; Kai was the guide here, Chelsea was his client. It was not his first time. Whenever Alastair spared himself the space, Kai would be there to seize a share of it with a company Alastair despised. For the company he brought this time that Alastair undoubtedly didn't detest, he couldn't bark at him.The blank stare he conveyed to Chelsea bombed her rational mind with the flashbacks of last night. Her cheeks blossomed red. “W-we will leave.” She pulled Kai's hand in order to leave with him. However, as they proceeded to leave, Alastair's voice stopped them.“You can stay.”Kai, the most dumbfounded one, tilted his head. “Who? Me?” The Prince gave him a cold questioning look and it too

    In the morning, Chelsea woke up on the bed. Her body itched when she stretched her arms and neck. The spot between her thighs ached a little too. To the soreness, her drowsy eyes flipped open and she was welcomed by the thick blanket that covered her body, Alastair's wrinkled white shirt that she wore, and the vibrator that saved her life on the nightstand. Abruptly, pink grew across her cheeks.The entire night Alastair was sitting on the couch while she pleased herself with that thing. He made it seem like her moans didn't bother him at all, but she clearly noticed the bump on his pants and she didn't even know why she was glad to see him suffering. Yes, he, Alastair, the great Prince suffered. Yet, he didn't do one simple thing! He didn't dare to touch her. Because she had made it clear before that she didn't want him to touch her.It took her three hours to finally reach her sweet spot and see the stars. It was almost dawn by then and at that time, he was the one who seemed to be

    [Warning: Chapter Contains mature content. Not suitable for young readers. Feel free to ignore if the content makes you feel uncomfortable.]Alastair never came across a woman so confident like her in ages. Regardless of being foreign to the concept, speaking her heart didn't even cost her a single stutter. Thrilled, he began to instruct her. “Lie on your back on the bed, cover yourself with the blanket, and...” His words paused at the knock on the door and an evince of relief went evident on his face.By the time she was getting ready on the bed heeding his guidance, he had reached the door and opened it slightly, careful not to let the outsider get an inside view. Chelsea wasn't surprised. It would have been more surprising if he hadn't had any visitors.Facing Alastair, Ryle who stood behind the door holding a plastic bag gave the Prince a cautioned look. “Here is your parcel. I hope it helps.” Saying, he handed the bag to him. In the middle of the night, it was so awkward and hard

    ChelseaBobbing his throat, he met my gaze again which I assumed had narrowed to slits. Even my eyelids felt too heavy.The next moment, without him realizing it, I tried to push him away, hoping to create some distance between us, but he remained steadfast, only withdrawing his arm to stuff his hands into his pockets."Stay away from me. When you are close, you make me have so many stupid thoughts..." I mumbled, my voice barely above a whisper. But Alastair didn't budge. His eyes narrowed, his lips curving into a sly smile that made me feel exposed."I would love to know about those," he declared, his voice husky and sending shivers down my spine. My cheeks grew even hotter, and I could feel his words seep into my very core. I was becoming increasingly aware of his effect on me, both physically and mentally. It was overwhelming.But I couldn't help but feel a mixture of frustration and confusion. How could I let myself be so affected by Alastair? It was as if he had some unseen power

    ChelseaHe seemed caught completely off guard by my question. Alastair, with his chin held high, had his back resting against the wall. His eyes fluttered in confusion as he responded, "What are you talking about?" It was clear that he was not expecting me to remember what had happened while I was under the influence of the desires, and he seemed to think that would give him an advantage.Determined not to let him manipulate me, I stood my ground and insisted, "You know." My voice came out hoarse and insistent, a reflection of the pain and frustration that were slowly overpowering me. My breath was getting heavier with every passing second.He crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head. "No, I don't," he replied, a hint of irritation in his voice. I could tell he didn't like lying, and his expression was so transparent that it was easy to see through his façade.A sarcastic smile played on my lips as I retorted, "I thought you hated liars." I wanted to remind him that he was a

    Alastair, who was attempting to hide a smirk on his face, shoved his hands into his pockets and cleared his throat. "I have no problem with that." The one thing that stood out to him most about Ms. Beth was the fact that she was always willing to provide a hand whenever he required assistance.Chelsea's face was devoid of colors as she blinked at Ms. Beth who was still determined on what she had declared and then, averted her gaze at Alastair. He didn't seem to dispute any time soon. Instead, he was more than eager for her to tie his tie for him. Jerk, this word was formulated for him."I don't know how to...""Well, I can teach you that... of course, if you want." Alastair had cut her words off and given her a wicked look."Fine." She gritted her teeth through a tight grin and rose from the bed with an abrupt force. Honestly, she knew how to tie a tie. She had seen her father wearing it, she had seen Lucian wearing it on occasions. She had learned from them well. But what she didn't
