Luna Taylor's POV I am eagerly looking forward to reaching the Kingdom.It's been a while since Cissy and I caught up; it seems she has her hands full taking care of those adorable pups of hers. The last time we spoke, Harad revealed that she refused to hire any long-term assistance for them. She only tolerates one confidante around the twins. That really sounds like Cissy, always caring and protective. That was the first thing that struck me when I first met her almost a year ago. But my biggest concern is Xanne, her best friend who turned out to be Harad's mate as well. The werewolf community was buzzing with the news of this mating between four wolves, everyone curious how it would pan out. Multiple matings are not uncommon, however it is unprecedented for two female wolves to be involved.Until now, the typical arrangement involved sharing one female wolf among multiple males without issue as t
Luna Taylor's POV AgainAnd then she was gone, just through a door leading to the garden. Doron, the midwife, had a pup with her that I recognized positively as one of Cissy's twins. Hadn't Harad mentioned earlier that she had refused to hire a nanny? Or perhaps Doron is simply the friend whom she trusts solely with caring for her pups? Frowning, I look in the direction where the two have disappeared.Doron's behavior is very peculiar, why didn't she just walk over to greet me? Maybe I should ask Cissy to explain. “Do you know the nanny?” Walter inquired next to me. “She was employed by the King and Queen to care for the Crown Prince. Xanne is occupied with her own work and this nanny has proved invaluable. The boy adores her.” My jaws hang agape in complete astonishment as I gaze upon the man.“Are you saying that the pup I just saw at Doron's is Xanne's? That is not possible! That's Cissy's son. And I am so certain of it
Again Luna Taylor's POV Three days in a row, I have been going to the terrace, hoping to catch a glimpse of Doron and Prince together once again.But, so far, I haven't had any success. It's like she's purposely hiding from me. There must be a reason why she's acting like this, despite all the wonderful memories we have together about the birth of the Princes in Eclipse Howlers. Her peculiar behavior only deepens my suspicion that there are more secrets lurking within these Palace walls. I've had a wonderful time with Cissy and the Princes over the past few days.Never before have I seen such happy pups and when they are with their parents, it is a picture-perfect. Captivated by them as a family unit, I captured numerous photographs along with some selfies with the twins. And of course, I promise that these images belong exclusively to my personal collection and will not be shared on social media without Cissy and Harad's explicit consent.
Still Luna Taylor's POV "You were standing here the whole time and heard everything."This is not a question, but rather an observation made by Harad. Darn it! He must have known the entire time that I was listening in on his conversation with Xanne – those Lycan genes!To my surprise, he takes me by the hand and drags me with him to the elevator. We descend in silence to the main floor where he walks with broad steps to the business quarters. I know that I am expected to follow him. After being caught red-handed, I'm not in a favorable position to turn him against me.When we reach his office, he holds the door open for me.After entering the room, he takes off his tie abruptly and throws it onto his desk before facing me.“Taylor, it's not what you think,” he began, pouring himself a glass of Scotch. “I am in the middle of hot water and can only keep everything on track with the right tact. But my main concern is Cissy. I want to protect her. Any str
Luna Taylor's POV Still“Is this cute little pup what you're referring to?”As I face Doron, who is cradling the little one on her lap, it suddenly dawns on me that the boy's curious gaze is fixed on me. His eyes strike a stunning resemblance to both of his parents as they shimmer in silver-blue shades. In response to my admiring glance towards him, he greets me with a heartwarming smile and stretches out his hands while leaning forward in my direction. "Hello, my lovely prince. You are so handsome," I appease him.He makes gurgling noises as he continues to reach for me. Unable to resist him any further, I succumb to his charms and take him into my arms. He engulfs me with his chubby limbs as an overwhelming sense of motherhood washes over me. Oh goodness, if only Eugene and I were gifted with such an adorable pup like this one, it would add so much more joy to our lives! As though he perceives my emotions, the Prince leans against my shoulder and kiss
Still Luna Taylor's POV Doron stares at me with a look of feigned surprise.“Luna, I don't know what you're talking about,” she exclaimed at first. "I came across the Royals' advertisement and thought about switching professions. After many years of managing deliveries, I needed something different. And this was the ideal opportunity.” Well, she wants to make a fool of herself, let's take the tough approach.“Okay, if you want to play it this way, I can do it too,” I pointed out to her. “I can now walk to Harad and explain to him who you actually are. And that the pup in my arms here belongs to him and Cissy, and has nothing to do with Xanne. And that he doesn't have twins but triplets with his mate and you can tell him how things went this way.”I paused to allow the impact of my words to sink in. “Trust me, it won't end well for you,” I warned her. "On the day of delivery, as we arrived at the packhouse by jet, we notic
Alpha Female Ciciane's POVI am currently sitting next to the crib of my two pups as they have just fallen asleep after I breastfed them.With each passing day, these boys resemble their father even more. With brown-blonde tresses and a distinguished nose, they are destined to be the most handsome in all of the land. It's hard for me to fathom that I am the one who brought them into this world, they truly are an exquisite miracle crafted by the Moon Goddess. As I rise to take a look around, it dawns on me that Katrina has already gotten the nursery completely in order. She is so efficient, the boys are tossing their toys around but she always manages to put them away neatly. I don't know what I would have done without her assistance, she is truly invaluable. When I reach for the kitchen and living room, I notice that there is nothing left for me to do. Most likely, the maids already attended these rooms while I took care of the pups. So, feeling idle an
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV StillDamn! I didn’t get far, I’m already caught at the start of my mission. I'm not even surprised to see her sitting on a comfortable couch, with a smug smile on her face as if she'd been expecting me all along.Xanne, my former best friend turned into my nemesis.This is the first time we have met again since the incident with the necklace. A bitter taste fills my mouth as that terrible moment flashes before my eyes, and I recall the envy and animosity on her face at that time. It's almost identical to what I perceive in front of me now.“I expected the nanny and the pup to be here. What's wrong with that?”With a sinister grin curling on her lips and blazing brown eyes piercing me, she slowly rises to her feet. “It's definitely wrong because you have nothing to do with the two,” she declared softly, her tone containing an unmistakable threat. “You shouldn't be here or you have evil intentions. Was your purpose here to eliminate my pup so
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
