Chapter 1

“The decision you make today will define your life tomorrow”

Nova’s pov

There has never been a time in my life where I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me than now. My eyes burnt with tears and my hands balled into a fist in anger and pain. Just a week ago, I was just a carefree young lady, living life like a normal young adult would, and today, here I was getting dressed in a fine signature wedding dress from the Lycan pack.

A wedding dress that wasn't meant for me, but it was my fate to wear it.

Every lady's dream was to get married to that one person they loved dearly but in my case, it wasn't a thing. I dreaded the thought of getting married to that bloodthirsty beast, and the thought of mating with him brought tears to my eyes.

“Should I fix your makeup now, Princess?” Shayna, my maid asked for the second time and I moved my face to meet with her gaze. As I had thought, she had a faint smile on her face and I couldn't believe it.

It seemed like I was the only one who wasn't happy about the whole thing.

“Does it looks like I could wear makeup like this?” I asked in disbelief, pointing at the stream of tears that wouldn't stop rolling down my eyes.

Shayna must have understood what I meant because the faint smile disappeared from her face, almost immediately. She sighed and dropped the brush on the table. She exhaled before moving her hand to my face.

“Princess, I know how hard it was for you and your family, but I want you to believe in the plan and everything will be fine.” balls of tears rolled down her eyes as she said those words, and she cupped my cheeks in her palms, brushing away my tears with her thumbs while she let hers fell freely.

“Everything will be fine?” I scoffed and nodded as if there was anything that four words could do. “Aren’t you people tired of saying those words, when it's obvious it wasn't doing anything to make me feel better?” I arched my brows which made Shayna clamp her mouth shut.

“I’m sorry, Princess,” Shayna mumbled and I felt guilty for raising my voice at her when she didn't do me any wrong.

I didn't mean to shut her up because I enjoyed hearing her voice, her voice soothed me a little but I couldn't just keep up with those words.

“Shayna. Can you just…”

“Princess, Alpha and Luna are here. I shall open the door for them.” came from the guard that was guarding my door.

I exchanged a knowing look with Shayna and she wiped off her tears.

“If that will be all, please excuse me.” she closed the makeup kit, bowed and rushed out of my room.

“Greetings, Alpha. Greetings, Luna.” I heard the faint voice of my maid greeting my parents, followed by the opening and closing of the door.

I sighed sadly when I heard the approaching footsteps of my parents.

“Novalie dear,”

“Princess,”

“Mom. Dad. Please I don't want to do this.” I busted into tears and Mom rushed up to my side.

I did not know what that was for. Was it because I suddenly want to back out of the plan or because I was crying? Because of this whole thing, I wasn't able to read my parents’ emotions anymore and it was frustrating.

“Novelie…” Mom sighed, she crouched beside me and took my hand in hers. She shut her lid and let out a sigh. “I also wish I could stop you from going. But you know better than anyone else, we don't have any power to go against him.” she let out and I forcefully withdrew my hands from hers.

“Dad?” I raised my eyebrows at Dad who hasn't said a word since they got here, he seemed taken aback at the mention of his name and he coughed slightly.

“I’m sorry, Princess. No one has ever gone against him before.” Dad facepalm as he said those uncourageous words to me.

I turned away from them and rested my head on the furniture.

“Get out!” I didn't know why I was getting mad at my parents when they weren't the cause of the problem, but I had to take out my anger on them because they were the leaders of the pack and their species were the ones who committed a crime I was going to pay for.

“Leave! The both of you should get the hell away from my room!” I picked up a wine glass from the table and threw it in their direction.

Mom jumped in fright when the glass fell on her toes, she jumped and fell into Dad's arms.

“Why is this happening to me? Why?” I yelled at my reflection in the mirror. I gripped my sleeve and went down on my knees.

“What have I done wrong to deserve this?” I cried out, the tears were just too heavy for me to keep in so I let them out.

I heard muffled cries beside me and then I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders. Pulling me for a hug.

••• A WEEK EARLIER •••

I watched my father from the dining room as he sat across the Royal messenger in our living room. There seemed to be a warning notice from the Lycan King and my father was signing some documents with a shaky hand. He glanced over at my sister, Tamsyn, and shook his head before handing over the documents back to the Royal messenger.

“Since you've agreed to the conditions I shall take my leave.” said the aged man, he stood up from the settee and marched out without waiting for my father's response.

Mom scurried out of the dining room to my father who was staring into space. She got to him and sat on the edge of the settee Dad was sitting on.

“Darling, what was the letter about? What did the Lycan King say?” Mom asked, running her thumbs on the back of Dad's palms in the hope of calming him down.

“There’s no point in watching from here, let's go to them, let's hear what happened,” Tamsyn suggested, she grabbed my arm and pulled me up from the seat.

“Nothing good ever comes from the Lycan King. Everything about that beast screams ‘horror’,” Tamsyn mumbled to herself and of course, I heard it.

“Why are you not saying anything?” Balls of sweat has started to form on Dad’s forehead by the time we got to the living room.

Upon seeing us approaching them, he stood up to his feet and pulled Tamsyn to his side, he pulled her in for a hug and broke down in tears.

“I’m so sorry, Tam, I'm so sorry that I agreed to his condition,” Dad said amidst his cries which made me pull a sceptical look at him.

“Can you please calm down, Randale?” Mom moved closer to Dad and freed Tamsyn from his grip. “If you continue to be like this, how do you expect us to know what happened and how to address the issue?” fear was written on her face as she spoke, she took Dad’s hand and escorted him back to the settee.

I pulled Tamsyn by her sleeve and we sat on the settee across from our parents, where the Royal messenger was sitting, a while ago.

“Just take a deep breath and tell us what happened.” Mom kept on nudging him to tell us what the Lycan King said.

“Um,” Dad looked over at us, and when his gaze met with Tamsyn, he looked away in guilt. “The Lycan King found out about the treason our species caused and he…”

“He did what?” mom couldn't bear with the tension anymore, she tugged at his arms and made him looked at her. “I don't care about how he got to know about the treason that was committed in our pack. Tell me, what does he want?”

“As you know, the leaders are the ones he usually punished for the crime committed in the pack.” Dad gulped, he shrugged his shoulders, freeing himself from Mom’s grip. “He decided to punish this household by having Tamsyn…”

“Tamsyn for what?” Mom howled, standing up to her feet to have a clear view of Dad.

“As his… Wife!”

“What!” Mom gasped in shock.

Tamsyn ran out of the living room before we knew it. I ran after my sister just in case she tried to do anything stupid to herself, there, I met her in her room, her face buried in the toilet sink, puking out her lungs.

“Tam, please calm down.” I rushed up to her and sat down beside her on the cold floor.

“How can I calm down?” She shrieked and I moved away from her while still sitting on the floor. “How can I calm down when the ruthless Lycan King want me?” she broke down and sobbed like a child.

“Ahh,”

“You wouldn't understand, Novalie, you aren't in my shoe so you wouldn't understand me.” she sniffed and rubbed her stomach through her thin clothes.

“What is there to not understand?” I sighed, and moved closer to her, I moved my palm to her back and rubbed her back gently. “The beast everyone in the nation feared the most want to have you as his wife, I clearly understand how you feel.” I never knew I was at the brink of tears until I felt water fell on my lap.

Tamsyn sighed and dropped her face in her palms. “As I have said, you can't understand.” she insisted that I didn't understand when I clearly understood her hatred for the Lycan King.

“Is it about your best friend that the Lycan King slaughtered because she impeded his practice?” I asked to be sure I wasn't a novice to the Lycan King’s malfeasance.

Tamsyn chuckled weirdly and I stared at her in shock, nothing was funny and I wondered why she was laughing.

“My mate has marked me and I'm with his child!” she shrieked and I held my chest in shock.

••• Present •••

“Please you have to be strong for us, else he's going to kill us all.” Dad caressed my hair as I had my head buried in his chest.

Mom wouldn't stopped crying and I couldn't stop my tears from falling, either.

“Please you have to be strong for your sister.” mom sniffled back her tears.

“Everything will be fine.” Dad kept caressing my hair which did nothing to help me with the pain I was feeling.

Just when I thought we were the only ones in the world, there came a honking of car horns from outside, indicating the arrival of the Lycan King’s men.

“It’s time for you to leave, Princess.” Dad notified me and I clutched tight at his shirt.

“Please, Dad I don't want to go. Please command those bastards to go back to their pack.” I cried heavily and I felt Dad’s hard grip on my shoulder, pulling me away from him.

“Please do this for your sister.” He said without sparring me a glance. He pulled me by my wrist and began to drag me out of my room.

“Dad. Mom please tell Dad to stop this madness.” I yelled over to Mom who wouldn't raise her face to look at us.

“Dad!” I kept hitting his arm but my fist had nothing on his strong arm. “Dad please don't take me to them, I want to stay here with you and Mom.” I cried bitterly as he wouldn't stop dragging me with him.

His grip on my wrist was so strong that it began to hurt me. “Dad?” I cried out for him to know that he was hurting me.

“I’m sorry, Princess.” He turned around and pulled me to his chest, there I felt his hot tears fell on my arm.

Now, isn't this impressive? A female lead who isn't all over the man lover, and the King whom everyone tagged as beast who isn't exactly a beast. This is wonderful. I wasn't expecting this story to be this interesting.

Hey, author, write more about Dixon and Rezso. I love Prescott and Nove, but I love the gay couples more. I would love if you can write a different book for Dixon and Rezso. I'm rooting for you! You did a great work bringing this story to life.

”We all want to be seen as a hero, even though the things we do to help others escape their dilemma sometimes come back to haunt us”Nova’s povEvery parent's wish was to see the day they would be walking their children down the aisle, with smiles on their faces. Neither my parents would be walking me down the aisle, nor did they have that smile on their faces as they walked me out of my room.Mom mumbled a curse word as we spotted the Lycan king's men in our compound, waiting by their parked car with their cold gazes everywhere but on us.“Dad,” I suddenly called out to Dad making him abruptly stop on his track.“Yes, Princess?” he gulped down the guilty lump and I felt his nervous gaze on me.“Is there a thing you could do to stop me from going?” I knew there was nothing anyone could do to change the Lycan King’s will, but I couldn't help but ask that question.“Um,” he sighed and moved his hands to my shoulders. “I understand how you're feeling and I'm worrying about you, but I don'

Prescott’s povSitting behind this huge oak desk, examining different cases, from different packs was one thing I never enjoyed doing since I became the nation King.Aside from being the Lycan’s King, I was also the head King of the werewolves. My spices believed that the werewolves were our kind and they were too mild to lead on their own. I never believed that until I became the King after my father passed away. The werewolf wanted to prove to me that they were more than strong enough to rule their kind but I never ceased to prove to them how mild they were.Going through these files made me realise I was doing a good job in putting them in their places. Since I made the rules and gave severe punishment to the ones who broke the rules, there has been peace in the nation and I was grateful for that.A knock came on the door, I sighed and glanced at the wall clock to check if I had an appointment with anyone. But I wasn't expecting anyone until later.“Yes?” I grumbled, ushering whoe

Nova’s povA loud bang on the door was what woke me up from my sleep. I jumped off the bed seeing a shadow walked into my room and stopped right at the entrance.It was still dark and the light was off, only the dim light from the lamp was on, and it did nothing to let me have a proper look at the intruder that just entered my room.“Who is that?” I panicked in fear, I didn't know anyone here and I wondered how the person got passed the guard outside.“Shayna, is that you?” Shayna was taken to the maid's quarter the moment we got here, and I hadn't set my eyes on her since she left with the head maid.“Hello?”The light came on after the person switched on the light. I came face to face with the intruder and I felt my heart sank into my stomach.“The… The Lycan… King!” I gasped in shock, the look on his face was harder than when he came in the evening.He didn't say a word, neither did he move an inch. Standing there with his hard glare boring an invisible hole in my skin.“What… What

Nova’s povI trailed quietly behind the guards that were leading me to where I was going to meet my doom. After the Lycan king left hours ago, he had these two hefty men guard my door till the break of dawn making it impossible for me to escape.My body still ached from the bruises he left on me, I was been tortured by a Lycan which made it hard to heal quickly.My throat hurt so much but I couldn't do anything about it, since my hands were tied to my back.We got to the front of a huge double door and the guards stopped in front of the door. I need no one to tell me that we have got to where we were heading.“Go in!” One of the guards spoke up for the first time, I squinted my eyes, unable to believe that I would be going in all by myself.“Sorry? Won't you be going in with me?” I panicked in fear, I didn't know why but I preferred being with the deadly-looking guards to being in a room with the Lycan King, all by myself.The guard didn't say anything, instead, he opened the door and

Prescott’s povI stepped out of the room, after instructing Randale’s Princess to head to my room, I didn't know why I said that, but I wasn't thinking straight then.“Hey, summon the Elders to the courtroom,” I instructed Wharton, the Royal Beta through the mind link and I closed the link immediately I said that.I was going to do what they want and not the way they want it, if the elders disagree with me this time, then I would have no choice but to give them early retirement and rule the nation on my own.For the past few years, I have had enough of them, lecturing me on how to rule the nation because I was not a family man.“Give me a goddamn fucking break!” Wharton's hoarse voice howled through my mind and I looked around but couldn't find him anywhere.“Thought I closed the link?” I groaned, walking outside of the office building to where the courtroom was located in the inner part of the Royal walls.“Do I need your goddamn approval before I mind link with you?” I couldn't see

Nova’s povThe guard brought me to a dark hallway that seemed like no one was there. I quietly trailed behind him, looking everywhere with my heart beating rapidly.We stopped in front of a huge double door and the guard stopped on his track. I glanced at the lone hallway and I wondered what we were doing in such a place.“We are here. Please head inside.” the guard told me to go in. I arched my brows and he flashed me a toothy smile.“This is the Lycan King’s chamber. He asked me to bring you here, remember that? Please go in and wait for him.” he stretched his hand and opened the door for me.“Oh,” I sighed, “are you sure I can go in?” I asked him, the chilling aura of the place gave me a reason to doubt the guard.‘Was he here to kill me? Did that beast order him to kill me here? Why is no one in here, those were the questions that I kept asking myself.“Please go in,” he repeated when he realised that I wasn't making any attempt to head inside.“Why?” I grabbed the doorknob from h

Prescott’s povOnce the Princess left my room, I picked up the necklace from the bedding and brought it closer to my nose. I inhaled the scent and let out a hearable grunt.Alas, the scent was never the same. Instead of the herbal scent of my Mom, it was filled with the Princess’s floral scents. Her scent was so strong that I felt my wolf howl to her scent.I sighed and dropped the necklace back on the bedding. I undid the buttons of my shirt and pulled it off my body. I loosen the buckle of my belt and dragged the dark jeans off.I strolled to the bathroom to wash. After taking a few minutes in the bathroom, I walked out of the shower and headed straight to the closet.I pulled out a dark washed jeans and hastily slid my feet into them, I grabbed a black T-shirt and put it on. Checking myself in the mirror to see if there was anything I was missing out.My jet black hair was styled to the back, leaving few strands on both sides of my face. The T-shirt was big enough to cover my should

Nova’s povThe air felt so suffocating and I felt a burning feeling in my chest. My neck hurt so badly and I was feeling miserable as I walked down the hallway that lead to the outside of the Lycan King's chamber.It was when I was completely out of his quarter that I began to see people scurrying into the compound. The outside of the Lycan King’s quarter and the inside seemed like two different worlds to me.All the people that I passed by stared at me weirdly and I didn't realise all that was happening until I got to the room that was given to me.The first thing I noticed was the door, the Lycan King broke it down last night and it was like that till I left in the morning. Now, the door has been fixed and I sighed in relief.I headed straight to the full-length mirror only to see another version of myself. The upper part of my dress was damped with my blood, my hair was tangled which made me look like a slave.Dry blood has made my black hair turn wine. I sniffed and wiped away my

Prescott’s povSitting on the swirl chair behind the huge table in my office, with tons of documents lying carelessly on the table. I picked up the last document and signed it, with a smug on my face.“Just wait until the coronation is over, I would take over everything,” I smirked to myself, gathering the documents together.The door flung open and cherry blossom scents filled the air. I already knew who it was, with the pair of her heels clicking aggressively on the marble floor.“Oh, my Prescott!” Ulrica beamed with a smile, her voice sounded through the room.I hastily shoved the documents under a folder before moving my gaze to her, Ulrica was looking more ravishing over the years.“Ulrica!” I stood up from the seat and stretched out my arms for her, Ulrica smiled brightly before running into my open arms.“How have you been?” she disengaged from the hug, stood on her toes and pecked me on my cheeks.“Been well.” I took a few steps back and threw my hands inside my pant pocket.
