Hello dear readers! I hope you like this chapter and please tell me what you think on the comment section. Thank you so much and happy reading!!
Cindy's POV "You called for me," I said as soon as I entered the king's office. Alder was sitting in his office chair with his face on his palm and elbows on the table. He looked up and sighed, "Mitch came to me." He said, so it was indeed because of that bitch. I wonder what she said. He looked like he was so stressed. "So?" I asked, trying to appear unbothered. "You're the queen, and you have to hold your temper." He said, so I raised a brow at him. "What are you talking about? When did I lose my temper?" "You know what you just did earlier." I sighed, thinking he was not happy about what I did with that woman. "I may have not marked you, but I am not going to just listen to that bitch call you by your name." "Clover, I know that you usually do whatever pleases you without thinking about anyone being mad or angry with you. But you are already a queen, and there are things that you shouldn't do or say," he replied. "I see, OK." Alder looked at me in disbelief. Agreeing wi
Alder's POV "Your Highness, I know that I am nothing in the palace. But I have a right to be treated as a palace member, too," Mitch said. She came into my office crying, telling me about how Clover pinned her on the wall and threatened her. I didn't know if I was going to believe her, but she never came to me like this, ever. I sighed and tried to console her. I didn't want anyone in the palace to see Clover differently, and might cause them to disrespect her. "Did you do anything that warranted her anger?" I asked, "I saw her in the east building with the female gamma. I just asked what they were doing there because I didn't think that they were actually helping with cleaning the rooms. I mean, they were both royals, and I think that the omegas were feeling uncomfortable working while Her Highness was there." she replied, "I can ask for one of the omegas to come here if you want to know about what they think." she added, "No need, you may leave." "But--" "No more buts. I alrea
Alder's POV Now, Joshua confuses me. Of course, I didn't like the idea that he had just said, and what Clover and I had argued about earlier got into me. I don't know what I am going to do with Mitch if everything goes wrong. I stayed in my office and thought about what I was going to say to my mate later. I shouldn't make any more alibis or excuses, so I had to be honest. I even asked the omega to bring me my food so I could still think about how I was going to woo her like what Joshua had told me. After a very long deliberation, I decided to go to the gym where Lance Charles and I used to train together. No one goes there because I never allowed anyone to do so. If they want, they could use the other gym near the training hall. I found Mia and my beautiful mate doing their warm-up. I didn't want to inform them of my presence, so I hid my aura. They were training and sweating, so I guess they wouldn't be able to smell me easily if I kept my distance. Mia was very focused and all ea
Third Person's POV "I love you so much, my love," Alder said just as Cindy opened her eyes. She looked at him and remembered the pain she felt when he didn't come to her when she knew that he was there at the gym as well. "My love, are you feeling hurt somewhere?" he asked, but she didn't reply. "My love, please, tell me how you feel," he added. "What are you doing here?" She asked angrily. "My love, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," he said, "Leave me alone. Why don't you go to your woman?" "Mitch is nothing to me, believe me." "I am done believing you. You're just like other men, who think with their heads in between their legs," she replied, "I know that I have been such a jerk. I only want the people in the palace to accept you fully, so I asked you to control your temper. They were used to a queen who was fragile and sweet, like my mother, and knowing you being tough and strong will make them feel aloof and scared towards you." "So you decided to tell me to
Cindy's POV "My love," I looked at Alder and found him looking at me lovingly. "Are you feeling OK? The trainees from different packs will be starting to come from here on. I was supposed to welcome them with you." "Yeah, I'm fine," I replied. We spent our whole day together yesterday in our bedroom. He wanted me to have a complete rest, so he didn't leave me alone just to make sure. Mia visited me from time to time, but when she realized that he had not left my side, she stopped coming over. I had already taken a bath, and so was he, so after our breakfast, we would be going down to his office as we waited for the trainees. There are a total of 42 packs joined with ten representatives each and a total of 420 participants. Two hundred forty of them were males, and the remaining were all females. I was glad that there were female warriors who were interested in the training. "Hi, Cinds," Mia greeted, smiling. I walked in and gave her a peck on her cheeks as the men looked at us. Sh
Alder’s POV Everyone was at the training ground for the introduction of the trainees. Lance was talking to them and with his hands on his waist, and I could see she-wolves who were eyeing him. It always happens whenever he makes serious expressions. They never knew how much of an idiot he was when it was just us. “Now, the last pack to arrive will have their penalty,” he said, and the representatives from the Blood Diamond Pack looked at each other. They came with only nine members when we were told that they were ten. Seven males and three females. “Waiiiit!!!!” we heard a woman’s voice, so we looked at where it came from and saw her running. I looked at Lance, and I knew that he was pissed. He didn’t like late attendees. But the pissed face that I was looking at suddenly changed into something. His forehead was creased, and as the woman finally came closer, I heard her say, “Shit!” Lance’s brows were arching while his eyes started to dilate. I think I know what was going on. “I a
Third Person's POV "Come on, man, it's not going to be that bad," Alder told Lance, "Yeah, what do you think is going to happen when Her Highness talks to your mate?" Charles asked, "We all know her, and I am absolutely sure that she's going to tell her how perverted men are." he added, which earned him a glare from the beta, but they just laughed at him. "Stop it, Charles." Alder said, "Relax, Clover knows what to do." he assured him, and he couldn't do anything but sigh heavily. "You keep on saying that you don't want someone like Clover for a mate because you think you won't be able to handle her, but to tell you frankly, I think you can." "I thought I would be having a difficult time with Mia, too. But Her Highness did something I never expected. She knew that you would be taking care of your mate, so I think that she will only prepare her for you." Charles said as they started walking back to the palace. "Prepare for what?" Lance asked, confused. "Didn't you see your mate'
Sheena's POV Shit! I am going to be late again! Why did everyone like to bully me when they knew that I could fight back? Ever since I was a child, Lica has always been mad at me. I didn't know why she always glared at me when I didn't do anything to her at all. She's my step-sister. Her father and my mother were each other's second-chance mates, and we started to live together after they marked each other. It was fine with me at first because I thought that I would be able to have someone to play with. But things didn't go according to plan because, instead of a playmate, I found an enemy. She always finds fault in everything that I do, and her father was always on my side. Of course, he would! He is such a good man who knows the difference between good and bad, and he knows that his daughter is making things hard for me. "Sheena! Is this what is serious to you?" The head of the patrol guards yelled at me while I could see Lica smirking. She was the main reason why I was late becau
Alder’s POV Mirasol died afterward, and because of the feeling of relief, I hugged my mate. I had no idea why she suddenly told me to teleport her to that witch, but my instinct told me to just follow her. I know I sounded pathetic, but even my beast agreed to let her lead us. That is how much we trust our mate and how much we love her. What’s important is that everything is settled. I never thought that the past was still haunting me until Lorena came. Maybe it was also the reason why the moon goddess decided to let Cindy be reborn in Clover’s persona. I saw Lorena and Isabel kneel down out of tiredness when I looked around. Lance and James started to look after the wounded warriors. I didn't think it was safe for the others to be called out of the bunker, so I didn’t until we cleaned everything out. The warriors and fighters were all tired, but they wanted to make sure of the safety of their families and loved ones as well. The palace doctors and nurses arrived and started to br
Alder’s POV I hate Cindy’s idea. How can she protect me? It should be the other way around. Her mom, Isabel, told us about Mirasol’s mansions. I was shocked to learn that they have been operating illegal activities for a long time now. How can I be so stupid not to know that? I wanted to raid them all, but Isabel stopped me. She wanted to use that to our advantage. “We can do that after we defeat her,” she said, “How?” Lance asked, “She will be complacent once she notices that we are not raiding all her mansions and will eventually think that we had no idea about it as well,” she answered. “Mirasol will definitely get ahead of herself and will take that as her advantage and think that we have no idea about who we are dealing with or who our enemy is,” Cindy added, “You mean, not attacking any of their mansions will be a bait for them?” Charles asked, and the mother and daughter nodded. “I’m sure that her target will be you, Your Highness. He will try to get into your mind, so
Third Person’s POV “We have to start moving now before they can prepare. There’s no use in trying to get in there through the portal since they managed to make a strong barrier.” Mirasol said, looking at Dan, the Lycan rogue. “We're going in by force?” he asked, and she nodded. “Did you think about it a few times? It’s the palace, and all the strongest and fierce warriors and fighters are there,” he added. “Do you think I am such an idiot not to know about that? Of course, I thought about it, and I am not going to ask you to get ready if I knew that we were going to lose in this war,” she replied angrily. “They had no idea about us yet and were taking advantage of that,” she added. “What if you’re wrong? What if they already knew about us?” Dan asked, “If they already knew about us, they should have raided all our mansions, you idiot! Do you think Alder will let it pass once he knows that the mansion around the palace was actually a hideout of illegal activities? Especially when h
Cindy’s POV Aunt Lorena is really amazing. It has been almost a month since Mom left for the enemy’s turf, but she maintains the barrier. There were no enemy sightings inside the palace territory, which only meant that she was doing a good job. We can’t afford to let them get in using their portal. It will be a disaster since they will just spawn anytime and anywhere they want. We didn’t want that because of every palace member who couldn’t fight, rely on us, and believe in us. It seems to me that the issue with Mom’s ancestors will never end unless Alder’s family is no longer the one on the throne. I don’t know why they were so clingy when they all knew that Mirasol was not Alder’s grandfather’s fated mate. And it was hard to resist the bond. Even when I still had no idea about it, until Alder started calling me his mate and that we were fated mates, I couldn’t totally get rid of him. Always want to see him and always want him to touch me. That’s why I understand the previous king’s
Cindy's POV Mom left after she taught Aunt Lorena how to maintain the barrier. I had no idea about it, and even if my aunt was a strong witch, she never felt it at all. I guess my mother is really good, just like what my aunt said. My worry about everything has started to fade even if Mom confirms how strong our enemies are. I don’t care about that anymore. With her, my aunt, Alder, and our friends and pack members with me, I fear nothing. I believe that we will be able to defeat them since we uphold the core values and the main reason for our existence. The Moon goddess will never let her children suffer at the hands of her own child who went astray. “Lorena, are you sure about this?” Alder asked. We went to see her because mom had told her to be ready. She was worried that after she went after her aunt, they would go back and try to get into the palace territory through their portal. “Yes, I had to eat a lot. What Isabel wanted me to do would drain my energy. Thankfully, I had a
Third Person’s POV “Can you tell her to come and talk to us?” Alder asked, and Cindy nodded before she went quiet again. The others let her talk to her mother, hoping they would be able to get more information about their enemy. Lorena still had reservations but hoped that everything was real. She didn’t want to disappoint her niece when everything turned out to be a fluke. She was sure that the pain it would give her would be unbearable. She knew how much her niece missed her mother, especially when she remembered nothing about her except for the fact that her dad told her not to get mad at Isabel. They waited until Cindy looked at them. “She can’t right now. She said that, in the meantime, she had to leave to check on something. Once she is sure about that, she will be back and meet us in person.” “Why does she need to leave? What is it that she wanted to check out?” Lorena asked, “Mom said it was important, and she wanted you to look out here while she’s away. What’s there to l
Alder’s POV I had a feeling that Cindy was hiding something from me, but I could see that she was debating with herself whether she would tell me it or not. That’s why I always wanted to be with her since I knew that if I did that, she might be able to open up and tell me whatever it was that was bothering me. The next morning, after she had marked me when we were busy with the celebration, I felt that something was bothering her. It was an instant because I still felt how happy she was, and then suddenly, she became uneasy. Trying to hide my worry was extremely difficult. After we marked each other, we could easily tell how we were with each other without asking. Since I already knew that I could try to hide my emotions, unlike her. She’s new to our kind and how we really are. During my regular meetings with my beta and gamma, as well as the head of the patrol guards, I could feel her being worried and then angry. So, I had to excuse myself after she answered me through our link abo
Cindy’s POVRoaming around the palace was one thing I liked to do the most. Although there was a threat to me, especially to my mate, I don’t care about that now. He made sure that he was fine, and I believed him. Why? I trust my mother. She’s going to come to me once she finds out something that may lead to hurting me. I actually didn’t understand everything that was happening. I mean, I am Cindy Mills, a billionaire and the daughter of the wealthiest man in the country who happens to have witch's blood. Only he is not because he is a man. On the other hand, my mother was also a witch. A powerful one, I guess, since her ancestor managed to invade the previous queen’s mind and kill her.What I can’t get is the fact that I am in Clover’s body, who was a pure wolf. Only my soul was in her body, so how come I have a witchy aura? Does that aura connect to my soul? Aunt Lorena told me that being a witch runs only with the women in our family. Since I have my mother’s blood, will I be able t
Third Person’s POVMarked and mated completely. Alder felt himself stronger than he already was, and Cindy was content. She just realized that placing her mark on her mate gives them great power. Now that their bond is complete, they are confident that they will be able to attain their maximum power and potential. Everyone in the palace was rejoicing as they also felt their king and queen’s bond getting stronger. One thing about a Lycan being with its fated mate is that it gave the entire kingdom an unexplainable bind as well. Every pack will become connected to its king and queen.Because of the completion of their bond, the morning in the palace becomes special. The omegas prepared their breakfast intended for everyone. It started with Alder’s grandfather, who found his fated mate, compared it to those who didn't, and noticed that their power increased. That’s why his grandfather made his father promise to wait for his fated mate, which he did, and he grew up with that in mind. That’
