Liam's POVAurelia?"Andre, what is the meaning of this?" My voice was calm but I was on the verge of losing my mind. "Find her and bring her to me at once!""Yes, your Highness," Andre looked back and forth thinking of where to start. Today was the first day I cursed the fact that I had such a big hall."I'll take the right, you go left," I ordered as I saw that he was confused as to where to go to start looking for her."Forgive me, your highness. I would've asked the guards to do it while you wait-" Andre mumbled but I didn't let him to finish his sentence."Do they look sane to you?" I asked over my shoulders as once again, I was reminded that my guards and maids were a total mess. They had left my castle unguarded and put me in possible danger. Not like I couldn't handle myself, they just had their own duties in the castle and it should be carried out diligently.I carefully passed my guards and did well to avoid the maids. Their eyes were lust filled and very flirty. The guards
Liam's POVI dragged my drunk mate across the hall, heading straight to my chambers. Andre was tasked with putting the guards and maids away.The warriors were sent for immediately and they assumed the guards positions at every entrance of the castle.They didn't pass up the opportunity to steal one or two glances at me and I allowed it. After all, I wouldn't be attending the Annual Hunt."S-Slow down. You're making me dizzy," Aurelia said behind me with a smile in her tone. A smile was plastered on her face and every minute, she would laugh at probably something she cooked up in her head.It was fascinating and beautiful to see but I would never tell her that to encourage her to try this another time.I slowed down in my steps, feeling a little guilty for being lost in thoughts and putting her through so much."Shall I carry you?" I asked, sparing her a glance when she finally walked beside me at a very slow pace."What?" She giggled like it was an impossible task. "I can walk." On s
Liam's POV "That sly little," I clenched my fist as I spaced out. All attempts to wake Aurelia to finish what she started proved futile. In the end, I watched her sleep and when she finally opened her eyes in the middle of the night, it was to put her hands inside my boxers and go back to bed. How could a woman as small as her make a powerful king like myself suffer this much? That book said a Lycan's mate could control his emotions- that was wrong. At this point, Aurelia was in control of my mental health. She was driving me crazy at this point. "Did you say something, your Highness?" "Huh?" I raised my head to see the elders of my City staring at me attentively and I suddenly remembered I was having my morning meeting with them. "No… I just wondered if the preparations were going okay." "Yes, of course, your Highness," Elder Lucas assured me. "I made sure to stop by the venue." "I can attest to that. It's lovely," Elder Thelma confirmed. "If only you could see it." "We reall
Aurelia's POVMy head banged as I opened my eyes. I groaned loudly and sat up in bed. The lights were too bright so it took a while to adjust to it. I looked around the room and my jaw dropped as my memories rushed to me in a breeze.I tensed with wide eyes as I stared in horror at the events of last night.How had it gone so terribly wrong?"A party?" I had asked Emma. I found that hard to believe. "He would do anything I ask if I throw him a party? That's… strange.""No," she shook her head. "It's not strange at all. You know, you're his mate. He would at least expect you to get along with his subjects. Only then would he deem you worthy to be Queen.""But I don't know about being Queen. I just… I've only thought about being Liam's mate," I had replied as she stared at me with an unfazed look that said she didn't believe a word I had just said.I never got the chance to explain myself because she began to give reasons as to why I should take her advice and after everything was set,
Aurelia's POVI moved to sit at the gold edge of his bath after taking off my slippers and laying my legs on the side to keep them from entering the water. There was a little distance between Liam and I.How was I supposed to make it up to him? What exactly was I even making up for? Getting his guards and maids drunk and leaving the castle unprotected or my very shameful behaviour?I was very aware of his every move even as I kept my eyes glued to my hands on my thighs. The room had a cool and cozy temperature but I was hot from my face down to my neck and all over my ears.This wasn't the first time seeing his naked body yet I couldn’t get used to it. Every single time I saw him like this, it felt like the first time.I couldn't help but agree that there was something wrong with me.When he dropped his glass and turned his body to face me, I tightened my fist-"You're red all over," he announced. "What are you thinking about?"His hands touching me, his lips on mine. Him spreading my
Aurelia's POVThe last time I saw Liam was when I thought I had caused him to drown but it was all a scheme to get me into the water. I still caught myself smiling whenever I thought about it.I had entered into the bathtub in an attempt to save him out of the shock I had felt but turns out I was guillible to fall for Liam's tricks.When Andre saw the two of us together in the bath he gave us a bashful look before he excused himself.Let's just say our interrupted moment squashed the sexual tension and we stayed in the bathtub in comfortable silence before I exited his room moments later.The day of the Annual Hunt had finally arrived and the castle was as busy as a hive. Everyone was moving to and fro, getting ready to attend the event by noon. I couldn't join the maids with anything because their errand carried them outside the Castle. I was only given permission to leave to attend the event.After all, if anything happened to me, I'd have Liam to answer to. I was careful throughou
Liam's POV There were a few unspoken rules in my castle. The maids and guards around picked up on it after they noticed my attitude to it. One of those rules was the colour Red. I avoided it like a plague and so did everyone around the castle. Eventually word got out and my pack members found themselves keeping to it too. The colour was turned down whenever I was within eyesight but why was Aurelia wearing that? Her gown was like a robe that covered her feet where she sat uncomfortably under the stares she was receiving and her eyes stared at the maid in horror. I could imagine their conversation because she looked hopeless and regretful. "Your Highness," Andre leaned towards me. "Everyone is looking," he said in a hushed tone. "It's the same design. I don't know how." "I shall question the Royal Seamstress. I know she was supposed to show Aurelia some designs but I didn't expect she would give her something very similar to yours. Even the colour," he continued and sighed. "I di
Aurelia's POVMy eyes popped open at the distant yell of what sounded like Liam's voice. I stared at the trees and the dark sky before the cawing of birds and movements in the distance rushed to my hearing.I rushed to sit up but I immediately regretted it when I threw my hands to the back of my head where it ached like I had been hit-Wait!The last thing I remembered was washing my face in the restroom and the next thing something hard hit my head from behind.I froze and took in my surroundings. There were nothing but trees and the sky was darker. How was it suddenly nightfall?"L-Liam?" I whispered in a shaky voice as I stood on legs that wobbled like noodles. I was all alone in the forest and there was no sign of whoever dropped me here.I heard something move and I froze, turning my neck slowly in the direction. There was a thick bush up ahead and every minute, it rustled like there was something hiding in it.I looked around and I saw a long branch of a tree. I quickly picked i
