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
Alpha Female Ciciane's POVWith the assistance of my maid, Katrina, I applied the finishing touches to my makeup.I am filled with excitement about my night out with Harad. He spent the whole day with me and the pups. Together we journeyed to the lavish shopping mall of the Kingdom where we bought new clothes for the twins as well as some toys. Our boys had a great time in the playground with their peers. They were so lively and happy, their affectionate smile captured so many hearts. I breathed a sigh of relief when all eyes were calmly observing them so they weren't overwhelmed by the attention they were receiving. When we got back to the Palace, they promptly fell asleep from exhaustion.They now rest like angels in their crib and I am confident they will sleep soundly throughout the night. Katrina kindly volunteered to keep an eye on them, this maid adores the Princes and takes every opportunity to be with them. “Princess, you look amazing. No one w
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV StillHarad went out of his way to make sure our evening was as amazing as possible.Both sides of the path are adorned with glowing decorations, leading us towards a charming cabana that shines in the distance. Inside, there is a romantic setting, pink petals scattered upon the table and floor while white linens exude an enchanting ambiance. With our hands intertwined, we walk towards this sea of light on the shoreline of a lake. Harad gallantly pulls out a chair. As I sink into it, I take in the wonderful scenery. Gentle ripples of the water lull back and forth in peaceful harmony. Above us, a full moon casts its brilliant glow on everything around us with breathtaking radiance. “Cissy, is everything to your liking in the Palace? I mean, do you feel happy there?”With a smile on my lips, I look at my mate who is waiting for me to respond. It's hard to believe he doubts that the past few weeks have been like a fairy tale fo
Still Alpha Female Ciciane's POV The wonderful atmosphere between Harad and me has been irreversibly shattered due to the arrival of Eon.Harad once-vibrant demeanor is now eerily still, his eyes are on alert. I feel an intense inner turmoil in him and that weighs heavily upon my heart. When our dinner is served, we eat without exchanging any words. Though he has chosen my favorite Italian dishes, I'm unable to enjoy them fully. The blame solely falls on my shoulders. I was well aware that a discussion with Eon regarding our mate bond should have taken place long ago. Yet I continuously postponed it without regard for its significance. It is hardly surprising then that he chose his moment to appear, what happened was his premeditated plan! Damn Eon! And his last comment, expressing his desire to father a son with me, was deliberately chosen. It was an attempt to lure Harad out of his tent. My mate's protective nature over me is widely known. The implication be
Again Alpha Female Ciciane's POV “Come closer, Cissy.”Although my gut warns me of impending disaster, yet I cannot resist taking a few paces towards Eon. His towering presence looms over me and his massive chest acts as a formidable barricade. As always, he exudes an aura of wealth, dressed expensively while the scent of his bespoke cologne threatens to intoxicate my senses entirely. “What are you planning, Eon?” I inquired with a tense tone. “I sense that you are up to no good. What is this about?" A sly smirk twitches at the edge of his mouth, revealing a telltale sign that he's playing one of his tricks on me. During all the weeks I lived in his house, he had never before been successful when attempting to deceive me with his artful façade. In retrospect, however, it is clear why - our mate bond made him an open book to me. I was only ignorant about it due to the potion he always brought me. “You are my mate and now is the time for
In Crescent Moon… “To be honest, I am perplexed as to why you are still here. Shiri would undoubtedly have done a better job than you. Barren Luna." A derisive sneer is heard from behind Luna Taylor who is busy putting together the menu for the week with Oriya. At her back is Arbel, the pest of the packhouse and Beta Yuval's ex-mate. Without any purpose, Arbel strolls into the packhouse, waiting for a chance to validate her presence. As long as Yuval has not decided what to do with her yet, she remains safe from being thrown into prison cells. “At least I have every right to be here,” Taylor retorted with a hint of sarcasm. "Unlike the despicable routine of glaring at my ex-mate and his better half flaunting their passionate bond every single day and swooning over the arrival of their little one. At least I am of some use to the Alpha.” “That's exactly where
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
