Nova’s POVAfter I was done eating, Prescott called for the head maid herself to clear the tray. After she had completely exited the building, Prescott walked up to me with his long black robe, sweeping the marble floor after him.“Are you ready?” he asked, his smoky eyes were sparkling as he spoke.“Ready?” I arched my brows, wondering what he meant by if I was ready. “Ready for what?” I finally asked the question since I was unable to provide the answer in my head.“I'm asking if you're ready for our bath,” he spoke with a mischievous grin on his face. He clicked his tongue, leaning in close so our faces were inches apart. His eyes met mine, his gaze intense and focused. For a moment, I felt like I couldn't look away, lost in the deep pools of his eyes. I could feel my heart beating faster, my cheeks turning pink. But then he broke the silence with a playful wink. “You want to race to the bathroom?” he teased, a devilish grin on his face. But then his expression turned thoughtful
Nova’s POV “Done?” I asked, staring at the white ceiling with my arms spread. The maids were tying the ribbon of the purple Lycan’s royal dress. “Yes, your Highness!” they announced, gently brought down my arms.I smiled, staring at my reflection in the mirror. The golden image of the Lycan’s fang on the dress made my eyes twitch. I smiled, tracing my fingers on the symbol of the Lycan on the dress.“It’s beautiful!” the word left my mouth, I smiled at my reflection in the mirror, and my fingers kept roaming the symbol on the dress until I felt my finger pressed on my navel.‘Soon, this flat tummy will grow to bump when it finally carries my pup’I thought back to what Prescott told me the previous night, a warm smile spread across my face, I couldn't hide the flush that appeared on my cheeks as I gently rubbed my palm on my tummy, wishing I would feel a heartbeat.“Are you ready now, your Highness? His Majesty is waiting outside.” one of the maids uttered, I cleared my throat, step
Prescott’s POV“Ladies and gents, distinguished guests, esteemed dignitaries,” I began, my voice clear and resonant, “I welcome you to this evening's banquet, and thank you for joining us. It is a pleasure to have you all here.” My words rang out across the room, filling the air with a sense of occurrence and spree.The guests howled, I paused for a moment, allowing the howls of the two species to wither in before continuing.“On behalf of the royal family and the people of Wildfang, I would like to thank you for joining us tonight. This banquet is a celebration of our shared history and a testament to our bright future. We have overcome great challenges and achieved much in our time, and I look forward to what lies ahead for us all. Now, let us enjoy this evening together, and raise a toast to friendship, prosperity, and peace of our nation.” As I concluded my speech, the room erupted in cheers, and the music playing in the background was what made the cheers sink in.I turned away f
Prescott’s POV“In five days. Eruba.” I read out the bloodied letter once again, the content of the letter was insignificant but the name inscribed on it made my stomach churn. I felt my bones snapping, my heart was racing as I glanced around the foyer. Searching for the shadowy figure.It was certain, that the figure I saw was a rogue, rogues were there in the Villa. They were nearer than I had thought.“Rogues are in the Villa! Rogues are here! My people are in danger!” I howled angrily, my head spun around, checking for whoever threw the paper but I couldn't see anyone.Even if I didn't catch a glimpse of the intruder, one thing I knew was, someone was there with me. Someone was there, I could feel the presence. No scent was detected in the air, but I could feel that eerie feeling.With a lightning-fast movement, I snapped my head and saw a shadowy figure darting through the darkness at the opposite artery. My senses heightened, and I sped after the figure with my claws outstretche
Nova’s POV “Hey, I need to check out something outside. Please hold on for me, and please, let's do this again when I come back. Save the last dance for me.” Prescott smiled, his sparkling white set of teeth shining brightly under the lightbulb. I nodded my head, taking a step backwards as he made his way out of the dance floor. I smiled to myself, feeling proud the man of the nation was mine; my husband and my mate.I turned on my heels, looking back at the crowd on the dance floor. Couples were twirling around each other, their faces alight with joy. Their happiness was infectious, a warmth spreading through my chest as I watched them dance with some much joy on their faces. As I left the dance floor, I scanned the crowd for my parents, my gaze darting from one face to the next. I was so focused on finding them that I didn't see the person in front of me until it was too late. I bumped into them, crashing into their chest and stumbling back. They reached out to steady me, their h
Rezso’s POV A grin spread across my face as I stood by the door, a wine bottle in hand, waiting for Dixon to arrive from the banquet hall. The anticipation of his arrival was making me go giddy, like a kid waiting for his mother's return.Dixon had asked for us to meet in his apartment on the night of the banquet, I left the banquet hall earlier to compose myself and perhaps prepare myself while waiting for him. I did not know what he had planned for us, but whatever it was, I trusted Dixon with everything in me, and I was surely ready to do anything with him.“Oh,” I breathed out, rubbing my cold palm against the bottle of wine in my hand. I was surely feeling nervous but the excitement of being with Dixon overpowered the nervousness I was feeling.“I can't wait to see the look on his face when he saw me.” My heart was racing, and I could feel the warmth of the smile spreading across my cheeks. Just then, the sound of a pair of boots, hitting hard against the marble floor, followed
Prescott’s POV “She'll be fine, the Queen will be fine.” Wharton groaned, a note of frustration in his voice. “Just stop pacing back and forth and sit down so we can figure things out.” His tone was irked, but I could see the pain etched on his face as he pressed his hand to his wound. It was clear that he was trying to comfort me, but it was difficult for him to maintain his stillness. I felt bad for being the soul behind his wound, but my wife matters most.“Prescott, please… She'll be fine.” Wharton groaned out for the umpteen times as I continued pacing back and forth.My fingers curled into a tight fist upon hearing that. I scoffed, marching towards Wharton who was sitting quietly on the couch in my office with his palm on his chest.I leaned forward, my gaze burning into his eyes. I grabbed the edge of the couch he was sitting on, caging him in between my arms.“She’ll be fine, you say?” I scoffed, my mind was running wild as I stared at the confused look on my Beta’s face.He
Prescott’s PovWe all gathered around the large table in my office. I leaned forward, resting my hands on the table, with my fingers intertwined. Taking a deep breath, I began to explain what had happened to the Queen, and the issue with the rogue. I didn't expect them to be upset, but I was surprised by Aunt Velvena's reaction. Her eyes widened in shock upon hearing what had been happening, and she adjusted in her seat, her hand going to her mouth. “You can't be serious,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.“I fear the matter at hand won't permit me to joke around, don't you think?” I heaved a sigh, grabbing my head in both palms.Aunt Velvena's reaction was swift and intense. She shot up from her seat, her palm pressed to her chest as if she could feel her heart pounding against her hand. “You mean to tell me that all of this has been going on, and no one bothered to tell me?” Her voice was sharp, her eyes flashing with anger as she shot me a deadly glare. “I'm practically like
