Genevieve Lamperogue was eighteen years old when she was forced to be the Lycan King's concubine against her will in exchange for a treaty. Mateless, and bound by her responsibility as the Alpha's daughter, Genevieve was left with no choice. She lived in the Lycans territory, and dealt with the Queen jealousy all to fulfill her purpose. Until she met her fated mate, Payne. Genevieve felt the need to escape. Due to the power of her bond with Payne, she felt attracted to him— but here's what. She got pregnant. Not with Payne's child, but with the Lycan King.
View More'Shift!' Lexi shouted, as I was on my knees, hiding myself behind the bed. It was a direct command. Thus, I transmuted at will. I closed my eyes shut, as I felt the size of my arms and legs growing bigger. My body rocked as my head turned up.Lexi roared. "Who is it?"The whole place was reeking with Lycans. It was a scent I have started to become familiar with, since this was their territory. That said, I couldn't pinpoint its location. Even if I were to follow the smell through the window, it would be useless because I could sense ten of them.
Payne was an Alpha. I could see him as someone similar to my dad. He value his wolves. He wasn't an Alpha who use strength and force but rather heart and mind. It was one reason I adored my father before...'So, which one will it be?' asked, Lexi.My brows puckered. 'Which one?''Which love would you prsue? Payne, or Declan?'My lips formed a thin line. Was that even a question? Of course, if I have an option, it wouldbe Payne... but then I cannot. My father's agreement with Declan was what bind me here. So even if I want to pursue Payne... the answer would be Declan.'I'm bound to be with Declan, Lexi. You know why.'
"Genevieve..." I swallowed hard. "I am Genevieve Lamperogue."The smell. The enticing feeling. The pounding of my chest. I cannot be mistaken. Though it was invsible, I could certainly feel a thread connecting us. This wolf in front of me... is my fated mate.But I have Declan, and I cannot be with him now. I was still under my father and Declan's agreement, and Declan and I were starting to be... "You feel it too, don't you?" He let out a warm smile.Payne looked harmless. His smile was like no other. There was no dangerous nor suspicious motive in his eyes. It was as if he lived in the moment. I wish I could too."W-what?" I tried to play dumb.Of course, I knew it. I knew what he was talking about. It was the bond. The thin line that was starting to stimulate me.

"Did you enjoy it?" Declan asked as I was gazing out the window.It was nightfall. We only have been on this carriage for 1 hour or so, and I wasn't sleepy at all. Maybe because I rested before we left. Or maybe because the night sky was just so beautiful I find it shameful to just sleep on it.My head turned to Declan, before I looked at him. "Yes. Very much.""The Lycans from the other continent are nice, weren't they?""Nicer than the ones in your Kingdom, yes," I said as a matter of fact. "They never even asked why you brought me there."
"Your Majesty is looking for you.." Leonardo said the moment he stepped in. "I believe it's because you refused to eat with him twice in a row now."My brows furrowed. Then I stood up from my seat. "Leonardo? You're here?"He was fired yesterday. How was he here? No... he came back? Did Declan bring him back because I was against it? "Your Majesty brought me back to my post.." He smiled. "He draw lines, though."I smiled. Then I walked towards him. "I'm glad he did... I'm sorry though. It was my fault—""Please, do not feel sorry. It was my fault for upsetting the King."
"You fired Leonardo.." My lips pursed. "Why?"I knew why. I had an idea why. But I wanted it to come from him. I wanted him to validate it, so I wouldn't feel like it was just in my head. I was hoping.It was a bad thing. Leonardo was good to me. He was nice to me. He was just like one of my court ladies because he was helping me. But if what I was thinking was true.... I breathed hard. "He's good to me. He never disappointed me—""Because he likes you." Declan's expression was unreadable. So was his tone. So I didn't really know if that response was something I was expecting. Because what if he meant it the other way? What if it wasn't because he liked me?
"H-how do we get out of here?" I asked as I nervously looked around the area.There were no houses nearby. We have no torch. Food. Or even a companion that could help us. It was just us, in the middle of this snowy forest."Let's see if there are houses nearby," Declan suggested."I can't see any." I walked towards him, frightened. "What if we don't get help? Are we going to stay the night here?""We can shift and go," said Declan. "But we'll lose these clothes."That a choice. But what happens when we get lost as we run, and we wanted to find food?
"Is this..." My brows met as I roamed my eyes around. My lips slightly parted, amazed by the season. We were on a journey for three days so I knew it was far. But to think that we would be far enough to see this kins of season..."The Northern continent, yes." Declan answered, before he offered his hand. "Which is why I told you to wear a jacket.""I thought it was only because of the weather..." I was expecting for a rainy weather, actually. I never thought we'd be in a place where it snows.It was my first time, and it was just so majestic.
“A concubine…” My lips parted as I let out a blow of disbelief. “You want me to be his concubine, in exchange for the treaty?” My left hand curled on the table cloth as I looked at the Alpha eye-to-eye. I remained tightly seated on my chair, seething. The first rank betas, and the Elders were scattered around the room waiting for my answer. So was the Alpha, whom I was sure was expecting me to agree and be the pack’s hero. Sure, this was an easy way. Offering a peace treaty to the Lycans was the only thing we could resort to, if we truly want to have them as our ally. But I didn’t expect I’d get involved big time. I didn’t think my father would allow this to happen. “We need their help, Eve. We have been repeatedly invaded by wolves from the Northern pack. They want to dominate our land. It will soon be the death of us—” “...and this will be the death of me.” I cut Alfonso, one of the first rank beta, before I turned to him. “Declan Antonio is already married. You want me to be a
