Zira’s POVIt’s been two days and ten hours since Ronan left and I wanted nothing more than slipping into my covers and sleeping till he got back. Unfortunately, we had a kingdom to run. Morning court had just ended and after the first day's hassle, I had finally gotten most of the Alphas to take me seriously. “Your Highness, Beta Miles asked me to inform you that the teams of Medical and pharmaceutical experts would be here in thirty minutes,” Sophie informed me just as I was about to enter the garden. The last two days, I had missed my mornings with the garden because I was too busy. I had finally found some time today and they had to do this? “Have Julia prepare a dress that is simple and professional, we would go up in twenty minutes,” I said and then stepped into the garden. The scent of plants and flowers hit me like a wave and I inhaled deeply, enjoying the calm they brought to me. Also, there was a part of gardens and plants that made me feel closer to my mom. She had l
Zira’s POVThe meeting had gone smoothly and unlike other departments I had in the last two days, they were more professional and focused.“We would wait for your testing on the animals to know if it’s good for our use. Also, if some of you can study the infected people to know what the source of the plague is, it would help us stop it from becoming a widespread epidemic.”“We would do our best, Your Highness.”After saying their greetings and blessings, all of them stepped out, leaving Miles and me in the meeting room.“What do you think?” I asked him, even though he had sat there quietly the whole time, I knew that with his abilities, we would know the actual situation of their work.Although he couldn’t read minds, he could sieve out the truth from the lies.“They were saying the truth when it came to most of it. But the only thing I worry about is, that the assistant lead seemed to be telling a lie, but his words were the same as everyone else’s which means that he knows a differe
Zira’s POVI deserved accolades for how well I was doing, eight days without Ronan and I was still breathing, this had to be one of the greatest challenges I had ever faced.The annoying thing about it had to be that, while I was missing him, my human self was doing quite fine but I couldn’t say the same for Blue, however, I was exerting as much control as I could on my wolf.My insides coiled like I was going to throw up for the tenth time this morning and I dashed into the bathroom, the extreme heat I had been feeling from yesterday seemed to have doubled.I could barely walk out of the bathroom myself, my mind in a dizzying and uncomfortable state that almost made me feel like I was in another world.“Ronan?” I mumbled, reaching out for the fuzzy figure in front of me.My hands met with empty hair and I tried again, struggling to get my eyes open while my hands searched around.Blue was pining and calling for Ronan in a way I couldn’t understand.I clenched my fists together as I f
Zira's POV“I suspected but I wasn’t certain,” Miles mumbled as he moved to the end of the room.“The palace is a mess, it’s even on such terrible timing, the only wolf that can compete with those bastards outside is Zira and she can’t even save herself at this point,” Miles confessed.“You are the Beta, you should be able to handle them, have them deploy the guards to keep those two away,” Laura retorted.Another wave of heat shot through me as Miles sent her a glare.“Do you even know what it means to be in heat?” Miles growled, his fists clenched and his eyes bulging.Martha stepped forward. “Beta, I think you need to leave too, you are barely able to handle the call of her wolf to yours,” she said, pushing him towards the door.Miles shook his head as he glanced back at me. “I can’t leave, there’s no assurance of what would happen if I leave, and bless the goddess, if anything happens to the Queen, I would be the first corpse to go down,”“Then we must find a solution quickly!" Ma
Ronan’s POVWe had rushed through every kingdom and I shared the recording and attack plan that the humans had created with most of them.Knowing that I had some ‘connection’ to someone in the human top government made most of the Kingdom Alpha Kings want to build ties with me.But I knew not to overreach and just made most of them understand why they would be making a loss if they chose Antoine over me.While I did that, my men sneaked in and attacked most of the power that Antoine had built in the last three years.My last stop was in Valden. Valden shouldn’t have been considered but their mob pack there was almost as large as a Lycan kingdom on its own.Also, they were unruly which meant that they had even higher chances of exposing us than the other kingdoms.So I had to take a gamble to enter there.Today was the ninth day and if I could round up matters in Valden before sunset, then I could give my Zira a surprise tomorrow.Even without sleeping one night in any kingdom, the mos
Ronan's POVAlicia sat right next to me as soon as I sat down beside Fred.“So King Ronan, what brings you here to Valden?” She asked, dropping her cutlery and turning to look at me.I glanced at Fred, giving him a fair warning.My wolf was on edge. Something about not hearing from my mate for the last eight hours or maybe some gut feeling that she wasn’t okay.One of the two made me slightly tense and uncomfortable.“King Ronan, what’s Eliza like?” Alicia asked after some more minutes and I shot her a look of annoyance. Surely she couldn’t be dumber than all of the girls I had met in these kingdoms?Half of the Alpha Kings I had visited wanted to give me one of their daughters to form an alliance.My reply was the same. ‘My inner courtyard was full enough already.’All I needed was my one mate.Despite Alicia’s insistence attempt at making conversations throughout lunch, lunch ended and Fred the way to his study.Alicia entered a minute after. “What is she doing here?” I asked with a
Zira’s POVThe darkness didn’t stop my Lycan sight from seeing the room I was in. This was the what? Third day?Twice, I had shifted into my wolf form and lost control but Laura and Martha had done all they could.With Martha’s potions and Laura’s strength, I had escaped going insane.“Ronan,” I whimpered, tears falling from my eyes at how uncomfortable I was.I was wearing only one piece of clothing, a linen that was as light as air. Even then, I still felt so uncomfortable.Like just by breathing I was in torture.I reached for the cup of Martha’s potion, I wanted to sleep this through.Martha had estimated that they were supposed to get me asleep for ten to twelve hours. But they only made me sleep for at most two hours.A feral growl escaped my lips as soon as I realized that the cup was empty.Without thinking, I hurled it across the room blindly, not knowing what I was supposed to.“I think she’s awake again,” a familiar voice said from somewhere outside where I was.I had been
Ronan’s POV My cock and wolf throbbed as I opened the door, Zira’s scent wafting into my nostril was like some aphrodisiac that had me hard from just one whiff. Her smell had to be the best damn thing in the world but as I saw her sorry and drained figure on the bed, my brows furrowed and I closed the gap between us.“Zira,” I pulled her into my arms, locking my arms around her and I allowed her to cry into my arms.“Ronan, I need you… please,” she begged, her voice hoarse and sore.I could feel the strong pull from her wolf and god! I didn’t want to imagine what Miles and Jamie had gone through in the last two days to keep her away from other men. The call and pull from her wolf was desperate and alluring, almost impossible to miss. I blamed myself for forgetting one of the most important things. The female wolf’s deep need to be dominated and knotted by her male partner was usually unlocked by copulation. Any unmarried girl that had sex would take suppressants in the first thr
RONAN’s POV"Zira ...I have said this before but I am so madly in love with you that sometimes, I just don't know what to do at all. I don't want to lose you. I want...I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" I told her. Zira smiled. She teared up a little but then laughed and shook her head. "I. I love you too, Ronan, more than you can ever imagine. I love you so much."My heart swelled. I had never felt this happy in my entire life. "You've just made me the happiest man in this life."Zira laughed, then leaned closer to me, staring at me straight in the eye and then at my lips. "Do you want a kid?" She asked with a sensual whisper.I smiled, but I was stunned by her words. "What?""A boy or a girl?" Zira whispered, biting down her lower lips as I tightened my grip on her waist."Both?" I asked, raising a brow."You sure?" Zira asked."Four?" I asked with wide eyes, and Zira burst into laughter."Are you being serious right now?" She asked."Well, you asked first, so yes," I
RONAN’s POVI ignored him and turned to Keith. "As for you, Keith, you are banished to Alva. You are never to leave there for the rest of your life, and if you do, I will kill you!". I said to Keith. Keith sneered at me. "Don't think that you won because you are the strongest Ronan! You only won because you hated our father and didn't let him affect your life!"Keith sneered at me."Yes! It's only because you stayed away from him! Otherwise, you would have ended up like this! You are no different from us!" Lucan told me. I shook my head at their reasoning. "You are right. I hated our father. And wanted nothing to do with him. But you see, I am not here just because I stayed away from me. I am here because I strived hard not to be like him. I hated that man and wanted nothing to do with him, and I made sure to make changes in my life. The rest of you just decided to take the wrong path! You deserve this!" I said.....It took me the entire day to deal with all of the remaining issues
RONAN’s POVI walked over to Miles, preparing to fight with him. I hated it when he said that I was not fit to be the Alpha and I wanted to prove to him and everyone else that it was a lie. "You don't have to do this, Ronan! He is just trying to rile you up on purpose! Don't fall for his trap! Miles already lost, but he doesn't want to admit that he has lost!" Zira called out to me. I knew that this could be a trap, but I am past the stage of caring at this point. I need to put him in his place. It was a long and hard fight between the both of us, and at some point, I thought that I was going to lose, but then I managed to knock Miles out. He tried to get him, but I pinned him to the ground, breaking one of his legs and then ending the fight with me as the winner. Miles glared hatefully at me, probably because he knew that he had lost. I am now the winner, and there is just nothing that he can do about that. I leaned in closer to him and whispered, "Do you now believe that I am
ZIRA’s POVMiles glared at Ronan, and I could tell that he was shocked and upset to see that Ronan was back. I was feeling a whole lot of emotions watching Ronan. I wanted to jump into his arms and hug him, I wanted to yell to everyone that doubted me that I wasn't wrong. I said that he was alive, and he really did come back alive. But I did not have the time to do any of this. Right now, there's a war in front of us. A war that we were starting to lose.A guard tried to attack me from behind, but I immediately turned and kicked him away from me. There were tears in my eyes as I fought out with the guard. I was happy and sad at the same time, and the tears just kept flowing. "Ronan, you should have just died! Everything was going perfectly fine! We had a good thing going on! Why did you have to come back?!" Miles yelled at Ronan. Ronan smirked as he approached him. "A good thing? Miles, you are just a thief who wants what doesn't belong to you. You were never supposed to sit on th
ZIRA’s POVMartha shook her head. "I didn't see it myself because I was too scared of going in," she said. "I think that we should give it a try, Kyle. We can never know," Peter said. Kyle sighed. "Fine. We are going to check. I just hope that it's there" Kyle said and the both of them left together."I just hope that they find it. We will be able to defeat Miles then," I said. Mom glared at me. "Can't you just leave this alone? Do you have to go this far?" She asked me. I nodded my head. "I have to go this far, Mom. I just can't ignore it. I can't ignore what he's done! He's controlling the Entire Kingdom! Everything in this Kingdom will be destroyed in just two years if we don't stop Miles now!" I said. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Mom, I trust that Kyle and Peter are going to find the spell. The spell is going to be broken soon, and there's going to be a war. I am not going to walk away from it. I just need to know if the both of you are going to help me!" I
ZIRA’s POVA spell that made it impossible for everyone to either shift or use their abilities! I laughed to myself. If Miles thought that this was going to stop me, then he had better think again. The good thing was, I knew this spell, and I knew how to break it. But first, I have to find my cousins and tell them about it. They need to know what is going on! .....I entered Maria's room and saw my mom pacing around the room. She glared at me as soon as I walked in. "I almost thought that you weren't going to come back! Why can't you just listen to me? No matter what I tell you, you have already told yourself that you're not going to listen no matter what! What is wrong with you?" She asked me. I wasn't in the mood to listen to her scoldings. "Do you know where Kyle and Peter are right now? I need to tell them something!" I said. I haven't seen him since they said they were going to take care of Antoine on their own. "Are you even listening to me? Miles could find you, and then
ZIRA’s POV"I am tired of falling about this Maria. I am not going to leave, and that's it!" I said. I was upset listening to her talk, so I walked out of the room. "Where do you think you're going, Zira? What did I tell you about staying away from Miles? Don't you listen to anything that I say at all?" She asked me. I pretended not to hear anything that she said and walked out. I know that I will have to see Miles and confront him myself at some point. I just can't keep running away from it. I have to face it. .....I was standing facing the palace's garden when I felt someone walking up to me. My heart was beating fast against my chest. I already knew who it was without turning back. It was as if I was waiting for this moment. "Who are you?" He asked. I turned to face Miles with a big smile on my face. "Are you surprised to see me?" I asked him. If my mom or Maria could see me right now, they are going to say that I am looking for death, but I know that I just can't ignore
ZIRA’s POVI turned to face my mom and frowned. No matter what they tell me, I am not going to believe that Ronan is dead. I know that he's not dead because I can still feel the mate bond between us. If I could not feel the pull, then I'd accept that he is indeed dead, but as for now, I can still feel as if he's alive, so there's no way that I am going to accept what they are telling me. "Are you even listening to me right now?! Zira! You have to leave! Miles is the one in charge now! He's not going to let you leave if he finds out that you are still alive! Are you sure that you want to take that chance?" My mother asked me. "Mom, I already told you. I am not going to leave. I have to at least wait for the full moon festival," I said. "Why do you have to wait for the full moon festival....don't tell me that you think he is still alive?! Zira! You need to stop being delusional! He's no longer alive! They killed him! Ronan is not coming back! I know that this is a lot for you to tak
ZIRA’s POVWe walked back into the city to realise that everything had changed. Antoine and his guards were still in my cousin's custody. My mother and I decided to go back to the palace to find out what had happened while we were away. Immediately we entered the palace, we went to look for Martha. She huffed me immediately when she saw me. "Zira! I thought I had lost you! I thought that I would never see you again! Thank you so much for coming back! Thank you!" She said to me, I hugged her back because I was happy to see her. "I thought that Antoine had won, but my mother and cousins showed up. I am just happy to be back!" I said excitedly. "I am just happy that you came back! The Kingdom...the Kingdom is not what it was when Ronan was alive. Everything.... everything has changed!" Martha said. "What has changed? I could feel as if the Kingdom was in trouble when I walked in. Everything was just quiet!" I said. Martha nodded her head. "Yes.. that is because it has changed. M
