Zira’s POVA fewhours later, I kept on dozing and waking when Miles finally stopped hisinsistent knocking on our door, and Ronan stopped having the strength to tellhim to fuck off.Currently,both of them are seated in the room, with Miles holding files, rolls of papers,and scrolls while facing the king, who is wearing only a duvet wrapped aroundhis toned body.Ronansat by the edge of the bed, his left hand massaging my feet under the bedabsentmindedly while he listened to the court matters that could not wait.For themillionth time, he glared at Miles, “you just had to bring court matters intomy fucking room.” Milesbowed in apology, but his lips stretched into a smirk. “I am sorry, my lord, itjust could not wait.”WhenMiles had been about to enter some hours ago, even though I was tired, I hadoffered to get up and find something to wear, maybe give them some privacy, butRonan had insisted that I didn’t need to leave the bed.Instead,he had tucked the bed sheets so high
Zira’s POVExcitementcoursed through my veins as I ran down the palace hallways, my gown lifted tomy ankle to make running easier.“YourHighness, you have to be careful!” a very worried Laura called out behind me asshe ran after me. Of course,I ignored her with a chuckle as I kept going down the stairs; the maids andpalace workers took one look at me and quickly moved away from my path.Later,I told myself I would berate myself and worry about why the queen-to-be ofEliza was running around the palace halls without any poise or elegance.Later.Butnow, I had to run.Afterthree whole days in bed, Ronan finally agreed to leave and face court matters,leaving me with enough free time to wander around the castle as the wholepalace prepared for the official coronation and our mating ceremony.Thefirst day when I had been idle and had gone to see the preparations going onfor the ceremony, It didn’t take me long to figure out that as the king’sprospective queen, I was forbidden
Zira’s POV“It’sgoing to get even more stressful,” Laura told Sandra as she complained for thethird time today. “What?Is this what being queen is like?” Ichuckled and then paused in my steps so that the distance between us would bereduced.“It’snot that bad; Laura is just teasing you,” that was a lie. My few days in thepalace were all I needed to know: managing Eliza was a heavy responsibility. On somenights, after Ronan felt I was fast asleep, he would stay up working on severaldocuments and things that were going on. He alsohad to make sure enough income was coming in from the human countries in ourcontinent. It was a lot of work, and I couldn’t wait to help him handle some ofthe things in the capital and the palace itself. But fornow, I had to endure the long walks needed to get everything for my Royalwedding ready. Sometimesit still felt like I was in some dream and that someone was going to pinch meawake very soon, and I’ll be back to enduring watching Killia
Zira’s POV Heatpooled in my core from Ronan’s intense gaze. I now understood exactly whyMadame Helene had asked me to enter without the girls. Surely, she must havehad a faint idea that he was here. Perhaps,she was even the one that let him in. “Aren’tyou going to wear your wedding dress? I need to see what my queen looks like inadvance,” Ronan asked, his eyes shining so brightly that my breath got caughtin my throat. Icoughed, breaking the spell that his eyes had on me before replying, “it’s notgood luck if you see my dress before the wedding,” I argued, remembering somebook I had read that mentioned something like that. “I’msure it doesn’t relate to us; you are already my good luck charm,” Ronan saidas he closed the gap between us. His hands tugged at the band that held mydress together.I feltmy heart race quicken as he sealed my lips in a passionate and frenzied kiss.His hand was everywhere, and with one hand clenched around my neck and theother roaming around
Zira’s POVJustlike Ronan said, after trying out the dress and making sure it was a perfectfit, all other checks had been done in his quarters. However,even when the palace clock struck six in the evening, Ronan was still not back,confirming that the separation was true. Despitemany people moving things around and Sandra and Laura trying to help me withthe moving and everything else about it, I still couldn’t ignore the deeplonging for my mate. Wasthis how it was always going to be? I felt an intense need for him as if he wasas indispensable to me as air.“Allthat’s left to do is dress you up like the queen you are tomorrow,” Laurainformed me with a little head bow. I nodded, absent-minded and still wonderingif there was a way to meet my mate tonight. TheRoyal wedding was only going to start by noon, which would be about a whole dayof not seeing him. Besides, there was no way I could have a chance tomorrow.Which meant that all I had was tonight Almostas if he had r
Zira’s POVI wastempted to run back into the hospital ward as I saw the dark and empty passagethat was there. But knowing that he was Ronan’s cousin gave me some time ofassurance, and I followed through.Also,the further I walked, the more throbbing I got from Blue, which meant Ronan wasclose. Afterwhat seemed like ten minutes of walking in a tunnel-like passage, I saw Ronan’sfirm and broad back, standing at the back of the corridor, and excitement coursedthrough my body. “Ronan!”I lunged into his arms, and it felt like I had not seen him in weeks. “Mydarling Queen,” Ronan murmured as he wrapped his hands around me and embracedme. “Imissed you.” “Hmmm,I missed you too; you are quite quick; I was thinking it would take you sometime before you could get here,” he said, pulling back and looking into myeyes. Hishold around my body loosened, and he held my hands instead. “Areyou doubting your queen?” With my eyes still fixed on him, I shot back, eyestwinkling with m
Zira’s POVIpulled my dress a little bit more, staring at my stunning reflection in themirror. Despitethe many things that had happened in the last few days, It was finally here.The day I was going to get married to my mate. Ilooked down at my left hand; the diamond ring that Ronan had gotten for meyesterday shone brightly on my index finger, and for a moment, I fell even moredeeply in love with him. It hadbarely been a month, but my whole life had started to revolve around him in themost beautiful way possible. “I’m sohappy that it’s finally happening,” Sandra whispered beside me, as if afraidthat someone would overhear her. However, someone did, and Laura whirledaround, wearing the most severe look I’d ever seen on her face. “It’s notenough to have a successful wedding; there’s still so much more that canhappen,” Laura said, looking around to be sure there was no one as well. “Before,you were just Ronan’s mate. You had no significant obligation to the Kingdom ofE
Zira’s POVTherewas a lineup of more than ten luxury cars outside the palace gates, withseveral people standing around and staring. Mymouth hung open in awe. I have never seen anything this grand in my entirelife.Therewere also guards around each car, some in their Lycan form while others intheir human form and completely armed to the bones. It waseye-catching and extravagant. “Sandra, what’s going on?” I asked, struggling towrap my mind around this scene. It was completely outside my imagination. Toogrand for me to understand. “We aretaking you to your wedding; What is going through your mind, being dressed thisway?” Sandra teased, and all the girls giggled at her words. If Ihad no make-up, my face would have flushed red from the embarrassment. Iallowed them to lead me into one of the luxury cars in the middle, and manypeople on the city streets opposite the royal palace burst into cheers uponseeing us. “TheQueen!!!” “OurQueen!!!” Severalchants rang out unti
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
