“Look, my dears. Your father is going to Crescent Moon again.”Cissy points to the sky while tenderly rubbing her swollen belly. She already knows when the Jet will fly over. Over the past few weeks, Harad has been landing in the pack with a certain regularity. As time passes, this pattern becomes increasingly frequent, it's almost as though he knows his pups are nearing their birth and could arrive at any given moment. The Alpha Female continues to watch the Jet until it descends and disappears behind the woods.With a deep breath, she stares into emptiness. She had completely isolated herself from the world in recent weeks. The TV doesn't fascinate her anymore, to prevent any upsetting news regarding Xanne and the Royals, she no longer turns it on. Meanwhile, it is known throughout the werewolf community that Xanne is about to give birth to the future Crown Prince, they all forgot about the second mate in this all. But Cissy has already resigned herself to losing Har
“Really, Cissy, you have to try harder,” Amira anxiously encouraged her friend.Half an hour has passed since the birth began, and despite excruciating contractions, the Alpha Female's pup makes no move to start the final descent. Amira wipes sweat from her tired friend's forehead who is diligently trying to regulate her breathing. “Please baby, don't make it difficult for your mother,” Cissy whispered as she caressed her stomach gently. “We really want to see you, hold and hug you tight while showering blessings onto you. Your mommy and auntie eagerly wait for the moment they can finally see you."The midwife is extremely anxious and makes every effort to stimulate the pup's motion. “Miss, where is the father?” she asked at one point. “I have experienced cases like this several times in my career. The pup just feels safe when its father is there during birth." Cissy and Amira stare at the woman in shock, they had not expected this.As t
Doron, the midwife, entrusts Oriya with her firstborn son for washing and attending to other postnatal affairs. Everything is already in place in an adjoining room, Amira and Cissy took care of that a long time ago. Now the delivery and everything around it can go smoothly.“Now it's time to help the next pup,” the nurse announced.Harad erupts in a frantic cry of terror. “Another pup?” he gasped in disbelief. “Are you suggesting we are having twins?” With an infectious grin spreading across her face, Doron settles back into her spot once more. A half hour later, the second son enters the world. Harad is filled with an inexplicable euphoria as he proudly cuts his newborn's umbilical cord. Overcome by emotion, he showers kisses on the little one, too emotional to utter a single word. Cissy and Amira have a chance to hold and adore this precious bundle before Oriya comes to r
Crown Prince Harad’s POVIn the mind link I receive the message that Xanne has given birth as well.In spite of feeling disappointed, I try to focus as my parents offer me congratulations and assure me that the eldest son has a striking resemblance to me. This confirms that I indeed had sex with Xanne, but by the Moon Goddess, it is something I cannot recall at all. At that time, my thoughts were always with Cissy, therefore, sleeping with someone else was impossible. But now that the proof has been provided, there's no way for me to back out of it.Damn! This comes at a terrible time. Cissy has just woken up and is patiently nursing our sons. It's such a heartwarming sight, I could look at them all day. She is the mate whom I love, we now have a fantastic family together. I want them with me for the rest of my life.But this news will break Cissy and disrupt our relationship again.The nerves are racing through my body, I can't bear to lose her again.

She feels anxious, knowing that the time ahead won't be easy but I am committed to supporting her every step of the way. Our family deserves a place in the Palace, that is the Princes’ birthright. At the base of the stairs, a group has gathered. The journalists are positioned on one side and are fidgeting with excitement for me to get off the plane while directly in front stand the King and Queen with their eyes fixed on the two bundles in our arms. Mother bubbles over with elation as she eagerly counts down the moments until holding her grandsons close to her bosom. But Xanne is also present at the scene, holding our son in a vibrant blanket, his head openly visible to everyone. Cissy notices her too, I feel her beco
Alpha Female Ciciane's POVFour weeks in the Palace and I am finally able to fully ease up.Living in the left wing of the Palace with my wonderful mate is a relief as it assures me that I won't encounter Xanne. Fortunately, she didn't attempt to get in touch either, which was one of my biggest fears. A confrontation with my former girlfriend is something I am definitely not looking forward to, I want peace around my pups while they are still small. I do everything possible within my power to create a hostile-free environment for them. And with this particular housing arrangement, I will certainly succeed.Having gone several weeks without any type of threat, I now feel at ease. My sons are growing like coals.Before my very eyes, I am observing how Lycan pups develop three times faster than normal werewolves of their age. They are such adorable little ones, their smiles light up my world. Harad insists on continuing to breastfeed them, much to the delight
Crown Prince Harad’s POV I reluctantly disentangle myself from my mate's tight embrace.We both fell asleep after the brief but intense lovemaking. I couldn't help but reflect upon the countless nights that had preceded this moment, they were pure torture, but it was worth the wait. I prop myself up on my elbow and continue to stare at her for a moment.The strands of her raven hair, once spread across my chest, now cover the pillow. My Princess is stunningly beautiful, the blush on her golden brown cheeks accentuates her classic features. I am eternally grateful for our bond as she was fated for me from the start. As proof of our unbreakable bond, she has given me two adorable pups, a gift that fills every fiber of my being with immeasurable joy! With a sigh, I get up from the soft bed again to take a warm bath.This time, I didn't bother putting on a tie. Instead, I left my shirt open at the top to feel some breeze until I arrived at
A woman is sitting in front of King Jasper, Sage Nicolas, and Queen Rhea for a job interview.Confidently, she clutches her handbag under her arm, while a large bag lying on the floor next to her shows that she came to the Palace well-prepared. She has every intention of getting the job.Doron is her name, her face is covered by a veil, exposing only her eyes. In her application letter, she mentioned that this custom stems from her religious beliefs as an Orthodox follower of the Moon Goddess. She comes from a small community that continues to practice primitive worship of Selene.The reason she offers for her desire to care for the young Prince is that she feels a divine call to fulfill a specific task in the Palace. As soon as she heard about the ad, she realized it was the perfect opportunity. Her statement earned her great respect from the three highest rankings in the Kingdom, who were responsible for interviewing approximately one hundred applicants. After postin
Queen Ciciane’s POVLooking down from the balcony, I felt content as our children began their opening dance.Today, King Jasper and Queen Herthia took the throne as Harad and I officially retired. Without a doubt, we had no regrets about this decision - these years were full of challenging responsibilities in both personal and professional domains. And now our pups, have taken up the mantle of leadership from us. "When I lost my parents, I felt terribly lonely. My heart and hands were empty," I sighed as I snuggled closer into my mate's arms. "But you have brought me so much joy; a unique sense of happiness that belongs only to me, with no one else to share. Thank you, my love." "No, Cissy. It is I who must thank you," he stressed as his arms enveloped me in a hug. "You've given me a life that's worth living. Not to mention, thanks to you, I'm the father of these incredible pups here. Just look how well-behaved they are now! Our twin Princesses are the
Crown Prince Jasper's POV Still The following morning, I drove to the villa next to mine in order to pick up Andrey.Herthia was still fast asleep when I left, I had left some aspirin and a glass of water on her bedside table, knowing that she would be suffering from a bad hangover later on. “Hey, man,” my cousin greeted me as he plopped down in the passenger seat. I decided to drive myself to work today and give my driver a break. With Andrey here now, I hoped we could enjoy some extra time together. “Your arrival comes out handy,” I told him gratefully as I skillfully navigated the Maserati through traffic. "Andric and Eugenie are unexpectedly on leave, and Herthia is still recovering from her heavy night. It seems like you'll need to handle secretarial duties today. Hopefully, Rami will appear if she didn't indulge in drinking last night as much as Herthia," I added dryly. "Is that right?" he chuckled.
Crown Prince Jasper's POV Still With conflicting emotions, I rose from the bed and made my way to my mate's bathroom.There I grabbed a few facial wipes and brought them back to the sleeping Herthia. Carefully, I wiped away her makeup and dried her face with a fresh towel. I knew she despised having makeup on her face for too long or sleeping with it on. As I looked at her stunning face, my mind lingered on her words a minute ago. It was news to me that my brother had already found his mate who is none other than Eugenie with whom we work every day. Though their closeness had not gone unnoticed by me, I attributed it merely to the fact that they were raised together and shared an unbreakable familial bond. Now it turned out there was another reason for the affection between the two. “What a revelation,” I murmured, as I continued to stare at my sleeping beauty on the bed.But even more impressive was Herthia’s half-hearte
Crown Prince Jasper’s POV The house was pitch dark when I stepped in, dead tired.Herthia must have made it home by this late hour. The women left straight after working hours today. With Andric and Eugenie absent, Herthia was in my office more often around me, much to Yin's delight. Herthia and Rami got along well, and to be frank, this new secretary was a valuable asset. When Herthia introduced her to me, I noticed that she seamlessly fit in with us as if she were one with us. But of course, that's just an idea of mine, the woman is entirely human and bears no connection to werewolves whatsoever. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and took it to the terrace. The villa was wonderfully positioned, the overview of the city was breathtaking, especially at night. This is a million-dollar view, enough to alleviate any worries from the day. But just like every night when I come home, my mind always thinks back to my mate.
Andric gazed at Eugenie, perplexed and unable to understand the meaning behind her words. “Tell me, mate,” he playfully inquired, his eyes glued to her lips. “Usually when your wife unleashes such a pickup line, it typically preludes us receiving some exciting news like pregnancy. Do you have my pup with you, love?” Screaming with laughter, she smacked his shoulder."Can you please be serious for once in your life, Prince Andric?" she hiccupped. "We are werewolves. There are specific things that need to happen before I can get pregnant. Have you conveniently forgotten about them?" Andric hesitated for a moment, yet he didn't let go of her. Indeed, he knew that their wolves had to cooperate in order to conceive and Yin hadn't attempted it yet. Andric thoughtfully studied Eugenie's face as his mind wandered, imagining how ecstatic he'd feel if she had told him the news. “Do we want pups, anyway? We've never actually talked
Six weeks abroad… Seated at his desk, the CEO of GoSu! Media Network was accompanied by his wife Herthia as they mapped out the day's tasks. It was their daily routine, with Herthia acting as a liaison between the executives and individual editors-in-chief across multiple production units within their organization. “We have to expand the secretariat, Herthia,” Jasper sighed. “It takes too long for me to receive files and the minutes of meetings are also behind schedule. The workload is really too much for Eugenie to handle alone.” His wife agreed with him and dropped a stack of applications on his desk. She had already anticipated this and made a pre-selection from the numerous submissions received. “Yes, please take a look at these candidates, Jasper. We receive job requests almost every day, particularly from graduates searching for work," she stated. "All of the profiles in this file meet our criteria,
In the large meeting room of the Palace…The meeting room in the Palace was shrouded in absolute silence, you could almost perceive the brains at full speed processing what they just heard. Crown Prince Jasper has announced that he is renouncing his right to the throne and will be retiring to Human Town with his hybrid mate. This decision was due to warnings in the ancient Scriptures about hybrids entering into the Royal family. He wanted to start his family without any potential threats. Next to him stood Herthia, the eldest daughter of Luna Taylor and Alpha Eugne of Crescent Moon.Nervously shifting her legs, she kept her head bowed as emotions soared in the room. Of all the feelings present, sadness prevailed. King Harad, overcome with emotion, rose from his seat and made his way over to his beloved son. The news had deeply shaken him, he could not imagine a life without Jasper who was not only precious to him but also destined to tak
In Crown Prince Jasper’s Chambers … Prince Jasper turned around slowly, his demeanor didn't bode well.Yin was the one in charge, his eyes glowing a fiery red. The rejection from his mate had left the Lycan wolf seething with anger and hurt, how dare she reject him so bluntly? His pride wounded, he believed that Herthia needed to be reminded that she belonged solely to him. In no time, he got her by the shoulders and hoisted her to his face.“Don't put my patience to the test, mate! Rejection is not on the agenda here,” he warned with a growl. “This is the plan. Tomorrow, I will announce our mating to the parents and leave for Human Town the day after. We will permanently live and work in the family's company. Go pack up!" Frozen with terror, Herthia could do nothing but stare back at him as his eyes drilled into hers. Sara was no match for Yin, although his authority over her did not work because of th
Two weeks later … "Sis, you really have to stop now. For the past few days, you have been chasing me tirelessly and I have tolerated it all in hopes that you would understand there is no possibility of us having a romantic relationship. Herthia, we are not fated nor can I accept you as my chosen mate; we don't even share intimate feelings for each other." At his wit's end, Andrey made another attempt to convince Herthia to abandon her efforts of persuading him to accept her as his mate. Despite the Prince's distress, the determined young woman persisted in shadowing him everywhere he went and deliberately positioned herself next to him when pictures were taken. “What's wrong with me, Andrey? I am beautiful and sexy, have a degree from a prestigious University, so I am ideally suited to be your mate,” Herthia insisted. “Your fated can't be better than me, with me, you'll hit the jackpot. No one can help you
