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
Again Alpha Female Ciciane's POV As Xanne prepares to charge towards me, a deafening voice echoes throughout the room."What on earth is happening here?"At the door, King Jasper and Queen Rhea look at us in disbelief. I am uncertain about how much of the conversation of Xanne and me they overheard, but an expression of outrage contorts the King's features while a look of confusion spreads across the Queen’s face. “What are you doing here, Cissy?” the Queen asked with concern. "This is where the caretakers of the firstborn stay. What's your reason for being here?" I decided to stick with the truth, which won't bring me much trouble. And what's more, the King possesses the ability to discern falsehoods even from a distance."I came here to see the firstborn in hopes of having a moment alone with him," I stated while making a slight bow. “Don't buy that, Your Highness,” Xanne growled. “If she just wanted to see him, she sho
Prince Harad's POV“Harad, Cissy came here to kill our son. But I caught her red-handed and luckily was able to get him to safety.” Xanne fled onto my chest and clung to my shoulder. Her body shook with heartbreaking sobs while her nails dug into the flesh of my back. Hearing this, my face scrunches up in confusion, this sounds decidedly incredulous.I'm sure Cissy would never hurt an innocent pup. The worst thing that could be going on here is that my mate couldn't contain her curiosity and came without bothering to follow proper procedures. When my father informed me in the mind link about the accusation, I knew that this had to be a deliberate plan. The words of the Sage immediately came to mind and I realized that the hybrid Princess had begun her tricks within our Royal family. An uncontrollable feeling to protect Cissy captures my senses.Now that Xanne has initiated the attack, the Palace is not a safe place for her and my sons an
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV "Look at you now!" Eon taunted me, as we walked to the elevator that would take us to the Royal floor. The suite would serve as my prison until the King got his affairs in order. But luckily I will have my pups with me, they are all I need to comfort me. “If you had only accepted me as your mate, if you hadn't been so arrogant, this would have never happened to you,” he continued mockingly. “I could have arranged for you to see the firstborn Prince without it leading to such dire consequences. And now look what has become of you! You are nothing but a fallen Queen in this Kingdom." He laughs tauntingly close to my ear.When we entered the elevator, he made sure to stand close to me. Of course, his horrible behavior was not over yet as he had plenty of salt left to rub in my wounds. “But there is still a way back, baby. I can persuade Xanne to drop her charges,” he declared seductively. “Let me
Luna Taylor's POVWhen I got out of the Jet, I saw Yuval already waiting for me in the distance.As I walk towards him, I notice a worried look on his face. Deep wrinkles adorn his forehead and he appears fatigued.“Yuval, thank you for coming,” I greeted him.“Luna Taylor, welcome back,” he stated. “Was the flight a pleasant one? And was everything okay at the Palace?”“Yes, but things don't seem to be going so well for you here. Come, let's drive to the packhouse and tell me what happened in the meantime.”We got in, and behind us was a car with some warriors who took care of my luggage.When he is behind the wheel and I am in the passenger seat, the Beta runs a hand through his hair. “It's a total mess. Amira's pregnancy is difficult. She has always been frail, but now with a werewolf pup that demands all her energy, her situation has worsened,” he sighed with grief. “It's killing me. I hired a private midwife and had a doctor come to examine her. I
Luna Taylor's POVEugne soon has me placed on the desk, my dress hanging around my waist while he devours every inch of my body. I am certain that in a few hours, red marks will cover my neck and shoulders. After so many days without him, it is almost impossible to resist him.When his lips closed around my nipple, I couldn't suppress a moan of pleasure. My hands tangled in his hair as I lustfully pressed my breast further into his mouth. His scent drove my wolf crazy, all she wanted now was to mate with him. But then I remember my insecurities, the fear I always have that Eugne will turn away from me if I don't bear a successor quickly. He and the pack will eventually realize that guaranteeing the survival of their leadership is crucial. We need to clarify this before proceeding any further.It's gnawing at me, and now that almost all our friends have pups, I feel the void in our mating more than ever. I now fight against
Still Luna Taylor's POV Now that all the air has been cleared between my Alpha and me, our happiness is indescribable.Our bond is stronger than ever, our happiness trickles down to the pack which is now flourishing more than ever before. Although no one knows about our personal matter, it is enough for our subjects to know that their Alpha couple constitutes an unbreakable unit. Peace reigns in the families, while the pups run around contentedly and everyone begins their tasks highly motivated. All orders given by the Alpha are strictly followed. Eugene and I are inseparable. After getting up in the morning for breakfast, I spend hours reading a book about werewolf species on the sofa in his office while he is at work. In the afternoon I visit Amira, who now looks much healthier, also thanks to the fresh herbal tea that Oriya makes for her every day. And the Beta repeatedly shows his gratitude to me for taking such good care of
Again Luna Taylor's POVI am staring at Yuval's mother in disbelief. “Oriya, are you sure? Do you understand the impact of your words?” I whispered in a total state of shock.What the woman said here took me by surprise. I had never considered investigating the abduction of the firstborn as early as in the maternity ward. I recall that Oriya and Doron were the last ones present in the maternity ward in Eclipse Howl. The switch and the theft of the pup must have happened while we all took care of the twins, with Doron handling the afterbirth.Oriya is the most valuable witness who can prove that the firstborn in the Palace truly belongs to Cissy's. In the Kingdom, Doron had confessed to me that she was forced by Xanne, but I had my doubts about whether she could be considered trustworthy to substantiate my suspicions before third parties. She had already proven herself to be unreliable. Hence, any statement from her mouth would be further dismissed.
