Phillipa

“Fine,” He turned his back on me and walked away just far enough that we could talk and nobody would hear it, but still too close for comfort! “Why did you leave?”

“What do you care? We aren’t mates, remember?” I raised a brow. Why did he care? If we weren’t mates like he said, surely it wouldn’t have mattered whether I stayed or left!

“I overheard some of the town's people talking. They like having you around. I was just wondering why you cut your visit short so suddenly.” He crossed his arms and shrugged.

“I ask again, why do you care?” In the blink of an eye, it became a challenge. I wanted to know why he came running after me and he wanted to know why I left. Neither of us is willing to tell the truth or to budge on answering the questions. He sighed.

“Look, I don’t want to be the reason people are disappointed. Please, come back and stay. I will stay out of your way. You won’t have to see me at all, but don’t disappoint the town because of me.” I studied him for a moment

    AndreI was relieved that she agreed to return. I knew it couldn’t have been easy for her to leave. On the other hand, she could be playing me. I couldn’t help but think back to what life and my father taught me. I thought back to that first moment I found out that the princess was my destined mate. My first thought was that at least she wouldn’t want to be with me just because of my power as an alpha.I didn’t want to allow the hope to fester, only for it to be smashed to pieces. I was scared, and I wasn’t ready to admit it out loud. I didn’t want to hope for love or the fairy tale. I just wanted my people to be safe. I didn’t care if it meant I had to live a certain way for the rest of my life. As long as my people were safe, I could fake it if I had to.PhillipaI was excited about showing my mother around town, but I could hear the whispers. My sudden departure and return fuelled them, of course, but I pretended that I didn’t hear. I showed her the beautiful chapel, which was my f

    PhillipaTiredness seeped into my very bones the next morning as I got ready for the day. With my mother here, I had no idea what our day was going to look like. I loved my mother dearly, but she was throwing a spanner at my works!“What is wrong with walking away from something when you feel it isn’t going to work for you?” I mumbled to myself while putting on the last touches of my make-up.“If it’s just something, then nothing.” I didn’t even realize my mother had been leaning against my door frame. She pushed away and walked over to where I was sitting. “It’s when you try to run from your destiny that things go a little haywire, sweetheart. You can’t run from your destiny. It will find you anywhere you go. Ask me!” she shrugged, and laughed. “Your father crossed the ocean to find me.” She sighed and smiled. I rolled my eyes. I had heard that part of the story a million times while growing up.“I wasn’t running from my destiny, mother.” I lied, and we both knew it. “Anyway, what do

    AndreIt had become clear that I had underestimated the royal family. All of them. Was it possible that what I believed could not be true for everyone? That the royal women weren’t just after the power. I huffed at my own thoughts. In the end, they were all after power. They wanted the strongest man that could take care of them and protect them.Yes, both the princess running and the queen showing up surprised me, but I wasn’t going to let that derail my plan. It was strange thought to see the queen sitting in front of me almost fighting for our bond.“Your highness, I’m sorry, but I don’t feel the bond. Like I told your daughter. I don’t want to be the reason people are disappointed. The people in town love having her here.” I shrugged. I didn’t want to push my luck too much and her scent was beginning to make it more difficult to control my wolf!PhillipaMy mother had to admit that if he was feeling the bond, he was an incredibly good liar. I wasn’t sure if that was a good or a bad

    PhillipaI knew my mother well enough by now to know that she was up to something. She wasn’t going to leave me and Andre to figure things out for ourselves and over the next couple of days, that much became clear. Each time she walked into a room and announced we were going out, we would magically run into Andre! The first couple of times could very well have looked like coincidences, but when we were seated beside each other at a dinner where neither of us really knew our host, it became blatantly obvious!“I take it this was your mother’s doing?” Andre smiled and I just blinked at him.“Probably, but it shouldn’t be a problem for you to avoid me.” I shrugged. He had been cutting our conversations short each time we ran into him.“You know, it could be seen as stalking?” I didn’t notice the amusement in his eyes immediately.“Excuse me?!” I fought the urge to growl and storm out! Was it possible to feel so totally in love with someone yet at the same time hate them completely! “I do

    PhillipaI rushed straight to my room as soon as we walked into the house. My dress was strangling me and I felt as if I couldn’t breathe. My father was there, which was not a good sign, and Andre was an Alpha! I could hear them talking, so I changed quickly. I didn’t want to be in the same room as the three of them, but I had to get answers. The second I walked into the living room I could feel the tension.My father might not be the king anymore, but he still exuded power. He might not have the title anymore, but the strength was still there. It was in his blood. In the very fibre of who he was. It didn’t matter whether Andre felt the bond or not. I felt it. If my father killed Andre, I would hate him for all eternity! I was planning on standing beside my parents like I always did, but I found myself beside Andre. It felt as if time was playing tricks on me and I had no control over my own body.“So, Alpha Andre. Why all the cloak and dagger?” My father wasn’t one to mince his words

    AndreThe king arriving brought my game to a swift end. That much was clear, but I still had to save my pack even if I couldn’t be saved anymore. I was sure he would kill me, so I ordered my beta to take over the pack and make a run for it. The king arrived so suddenly, that I wasn’t sure if he had a damn army with him or not. His soldiers could already be on their way to wiping my people out, and I wouldn’t know it!Since he also so eloquently spilled the damn beans, there was also no longer a need for me to play my game. I was convinced he was going to kill me. The least I could do was to play for time and hope that my pack would get away.Phillipa“I’ve heard of a rogue group of warriors still out for blood, but I haven’t been given proof, Phillipa. Believe me, if it is, someone is going to pay. Your brother is the king now, and he made it clear that he is not hunting werewolves.” My father looked furious, and I could tell he wasn’t angry at Andre this time. He was angry that warri

    Phillipa“He is stable, but he is going to take a couple of days to recover.” The doctor’s face didn’t match the news! He still looked worried.“That’s good news, isn’t it?” I felt tears sting the back of my eyes when he nodded.“Yes, I’m sorry. I’m just very tired. We’ve been dealing with a lot of injuries lately because of that group of rogue warriors.” The doctor sighed and I looked at my father.“They have been taken care of and won’t be a problem anymore.” My father frowned. He was lying. A rogue group of Lycans was a problem. A huge problem. We hadn’t heard from them up to now. I haven’t. If any of my other family knew about this and didn’t do something, it was going to cause problems! Major problems!“Can I see him?” Relief flooded my entire body when the doctor nodded. The major problems would have to wait for now. I needed to see Andre. As I walked into his room, I had to fight the urge to gasp. He was so pale. I sat in the room with him until his beta arrived. I didn’t miss

    AndreAlmost dying was the main reason behind being able to see things clearly all of a sudden. But there was also something else. The way Phillipa and her parents jumped in and fought to protect my pack without so much as a backward glance was incredible. I judged them before getting to know them and I felt like a damn idiot for doing that. Things were going to change. They had to see if we were going to do things right this time around.I wanted to change things. My point of view had drastically changed. No more games.PhillipaIt felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders, only to be replaced again. We had to face the demons of my parents’ past. We had a rogue pack that didn’t follow orders from the then or current kings and that was a huge problem. When this got out, and it was definitely going to get out, the people might just revolt. Everyone loved my family, but if we weren’t strong enough to control our people, they might think twice about having us in charge.

  • The Lycan King's Exiled Mate   Chapter 112 - The end

    THE LYCAN KINGDOM was never restored. Kings and queens were never appointed again, but there was peace. A world council was appointed to protect all the creatures, and they prepared for the day the humans would return.Supernatural creatures combined their powers and knowledge to better the world and soon everyone was flourishing. The creatures opted not to use their new-found technology to explore the heavens. They didn’t want to run into the creatures that nearly destroyed the earth. They had learned their lessons from the mistakes humans made and whenever greed showed its ugly head, they would quickly be shut down.The supernatural creatures had been given a second chance, and they were going to live their lives to the fullest this time. It was called the cleansing and whenever people referred to it, they spoke with huge respect for those who returned to live new lives. Elizabeth did return with Oliver happily by her side. They took jobs as teachers and had a second full life.Oliv

    ElizabethAs the world turned, the Lycan kingdom changed. The days of the great wars were forgotten. The days of peace and trade passed. What was once a great nation splintered into the world and the beautiful castle was left abandoned. The human world grew stronger and the supernatural had to hide from it to stay safe. Traditions were abandoned, so they could hide and the fact that these creatures were real was turned into a myth.The history of the great Lycan kingdom was turned into a legend. The amazing lives of Oliver and Helena were forgotten, and their history books turned to dust in an abandoned kingdom. Witches, dwarfs, pixies and fairies became the creatures that only existed in fairy tales. The age of man had arrived. The rhythm of life took over as the creatures had to hide deeper and deeper in the darkness.Thankfully, the wheel of life always turned, and these creatures found their way back. They grew stronger and fought wars to make a place for themselves in the world.

    ElizabethOur children grew and with them our pack and also our little village. My projects that seemed huge when I started them now seemed small, and we had to expand our vegetable garden sooner than planned. We quickly became the second-largest trading post in our region. It wasn’t surprising when we got word that the werecats wanted to talk.A young new alpha had been appointed. She had taken over from her father and had very different views to him. I was pleasantly surprised to meet the young woman. She was strong and confident but not overbearing like most males in her position. She negotiated a very good trade deal between our pack and hers and people who used to be enemies quickly became good friends.It was a time for peace in our world. I knew war would come again someday, but for now we were all living in peace. We were trading and even started a student exchange. After visiting the witches, I really wanted my children to experience something similar when the time was right.

    ElizabethSadly, I was very wrong. The werecats were planning war. They wanted our territory and nothing was going to stop them. Our son was born in the midst of all of it and I had a hard time convincing Oliver not to send me back home! He wanted me and our son to be safely tucked away in the castle while they fought the werecats! Who the hell did he think he was mated with?!As soon as my body allowed, I was right there by his side fighting for our people. The war didn’t last very long though. We won fairly quickly thanks to the Royal Army standing behind us. I didn’t realize how incredibly proud I was of myself and of our people until I stood on the porch of our new pack house looking out at our people.Everyone looked tired, and I could feel the sadness in the air. We haven’t just fought a war. We built our new pack house while fighting! Oliver wanted to keep the people busy who had to stay behind. He listened when I told him that life had to continue while we were off fighting fo

    ElizabethI had always thought losing Jason was the worst thing I could have gone through, but as I sat there waiting to find out if Oliver had survived the attack, I realized that it wasn’t. If I lost Oliver, I wouldn’t survive. I would appear strong for the pack. I would carry on and raise our pup, but my heart would be broken forever and there would be no healing it this time. It was a scary thing to realize, but it was the truth.Oliver wasn’t just my mate. He was my best friend. The one I relied on. Literally, my other half. Losing him would be like losing my most important limb. I would be able to adjust and move on and live, but something would always be missing. My eyes shot up, and my brain froze the moment we heard someone touching the door handle.“Elizabeth, it’s me. It’s safe. You can come out.” Oliver’s voice caused a collective sigh of relief in the room and I rushed to open the door. Rushing into his arms as soon as I saw him. I breathed in his scent and he smelled of

    ElizabethOur celebrations didn’t last long, as soon as Oliver realized that we were under threat. His face instantly turned from happy to worried and I sighed deeply. This was definitely going to affect my life in far worse ways than I had anticipated.“You can’t work on the gardens in your condition. What if we are attacked? How are you going to get to safety in time.” He was talking to me, but it looked more like he was talking to himself as he started to pace back and forth.“Oliver, seriously? I’m pregnant. I’m not an invalid. I’m not even showing yet, for goodness’s sake! I am not going to spend the next couple of months in bed hiding from the world. I won’t do it!” I glared at him. He stopped pacing and sighed deeply as he looked at me.“But you are carrying precious cargo …” He started and when he tried to put his hands on my hips, I pushed him away.“Yes, I am. Cargo that will require exercise and healthy food. Not to mention fresh air. If you want this baby to be born health

  • The Lycan King's Exiled Mate   Chapter 106 - Good news!

    ElizabethMy family hadn’t prepared to stay very long, which meant that when the werecats didn’t attack two days later, they had to return to the castle. The men seemed to agree that the werecats were playing the long game. They somehow knew the royal family was visiting and either they weren’t ready to attack yet, or they perhaps didn’t want to take them on.It infuriated me to live in this kind of limbo. I hated trying to guess what my enemy was up to. I hated having enemies. If we had done something to them, I could understand, but we hadn’t. They were just being greedy. I sighed as we said goodbye to my family and watched them disappear into the forest. It was nice having them there, but life had to go on.We would all still be living in a constant state of wondering when we were going to be attacked. Oliver was convinced the werecats were trying to lull us into a false sense of security. He was sure they were going to attack as soon as they thought we had forgotten about them. Wh

    ElizabethOliver and I decided we were going to split up because of this. He would stay behind and protect the pack since we were convinced the werecats would come for our prisoner. I was taking the prisoner to my brother. If the werecats thought they could attack the princess of the Lycan kingdom, they would have to think again! We didn’t waste time and within an hour I was ready to go. Oliver pulled me into his arms and kissed me before resting his forehead on mine.“I know you can protect yourself, but please, please be safe. I won’t survive if something happens to you. Keep your eyes and ears open and don’t, under any circumstances, untie the prisoner.” He sighed deeply and I nodded.“I won’t.” I kissed him before pulling out of his arms.“We will take good care of her, alpha.” My future gamma guard promised and I smiled. Their training had gone well so far, but they weren’t ready to protect me all on their own just yet. My royal guards still had to be there as well. As our group

    ElizabethOliver and I didn’t go away on honeymoon since there was just too much to do, but it didn’t bother me. I loved being able to finally put my knowledge to the test. We built his parents' garden faster than anticipated and when the entire pack gathered to look at it, I felt pride in my work. In all of them. So many pitched in to plant flowers and grass that it all came together beautifully.Oliver’s mother had tears in her eyes when we revealed the finished product. She had told me a couple of weeks earlier that she saw the gardens at the castle when she was a little girl and had wanted something like that since she was a little girl. I was glad that we could give it to her. I even convinced my family to sponsor some of the flowers right out of the castle garden to round things off and give it that special look.All around the sides there were beautiful flowers with grass divided by walkways and a small fountain in the centre. Oliver built four benches that were placed around t
