Prince Herod's POV Still Although hesitant at first, Cissy's divine voice turned dedicated as she pronounced my name. I knew that after my departure, she was suffering from guilt for potentially creating distance between Harad and me. However, due to a lack of time on my end, I hadn't explained that our relationship was back on track, hopefully, Harad had provided her with the details regarding how much assistance I offered Silver Bow. “You bet I am the one!” I confidently exclaimed while stepping leisurely towards the stage and locking eyes with Cissy. Relief spread across her face as she didn't expect me to arrive on time. With a look of pure bliss, she hurried over to the stairs. "Herod! How happy I am to see you,” she exclaimed, wrapping her hands around my neck.Taking hold of my hand, she led me towards Harad and the Sages. When I reached my brother, we exchanged a tight bro-hug while the Sages nodde
Crown Princess Ciciane's POV"Eden!" I suddenly heard Taylor scream in delight as a graceful woman walked toward us.We are currently gathered on the rear balcony of the Palace, taking a breather before we get dressed for the opening of the lavish celebration. The pups all fell asleep out of sheer fatigue, the attention they received from all sides eventually exhausted them thoroughly. Doron volunteered to keep watch over them while we fulfilled our duties and she drove them all to the nursery in the stroller. Fortunately, we made arrangements beforehand to accommodate all six pups. The room is spacious enough to hold as many cribs as needed. Taylor rushed towards the woman and embraced her in a tight hug.As Amira tags along, the three of them wrap their arms around each other, the woman is showered with kisses all over her face. They clearly share a warm affection and I am curious about the identity of this guest. Perceiving Eugne and Yuval gr
Crown Princess Ciciane's POV Still We stared at Eden in shock. This goes deeper than I thought, even my wolf, Era, rebels within me against this injustice. “No, Eden!” I encouraged her. "Never give up. No matter what obstacles come your way, you must overcome them. Rise above any hardships and never let them get to you." But the woman shook her head in defeat, she had already given up.“There's not much I can do about it, Cissy,” she explained, sadly. “That's fate. We are werewolves and there is only one remedy for my pain and that is death. I've come to accept it." But I refuse to give up on her, whatever the cost, I will convince Eden that she was wrong. Death is never the solution to problems, we must address and overcome our troubles by any means necessary. "Eden, please share the entire story with us now," Taylor coaxed her calmly. After the initial shock, she was able to recover swift
Prince Herod's POV I don't know how long I've stood here, rooted to my spot, listening to my mate recount the tragic story of her life.As she spoke, it felt like a sharp dagger was being stabbed and twisted in my heart, this hurts like hell to hear the pain in her beautiful voice. And then came the tears, this sadness ran deep. She lost her mate due to a dastardly attack by Xanne and Arbel, if I had met her earlier, I would have dealt with these two demons back in Silver Bow. To think that I allowed Arbel to touch me with the same hands she washed with the blood of Eden’s misery!I just want to run to the dungeons and strangle both women with my bare hands!But Eden needs me here, I am determined to see us through this tough time, there is no option of giving up!And when I heard her say that she was about to commit suicide because she could no longer bear the mental struggle of the severed mate bond, both Xin and I were consumed with equal anger toward her. We refuse
Prince Herod's POV StillJust as I expected, all eyes were on Eden.Not only was she stunningly beautiful with a striking appearance, but never before had I been seen on an official occasion with a woman by my side. With our arms around each other's waists and making our appearance absolutely spectacular, everyone began to guess about her identity. My possessive arm around Eden provided her with the needed confidence, even though she initially felt uneasy.Xin is doing an exceptional job with Sara, the wolf of Eden. Sara has accepted him and is fully cooperating with the process of my mate's recovery. In the hours after we accepted each other as mates, she had already strengthened considerably, but the wolfsbane still needed to be completely removed from her system for her to function properly. But there is no pressure on timing as we have plenty of time to sort that out. "Are you doing well?" I whispered into Eden's ear as we waited for our turn, while Harad and Cissy performed the
Prince Herod's POV Still As we approached the group of high-ranking where the Alpha of the Paxton pack was present, all discussion ceased and attention turned to us. I was acquainted with all standing here, I had my leadership and combat training with most of them. But strangely enough, Paxton's Alpha was unknown to me. When Walter introduced him to me until Walter introduced him. It all made sense then, he was an elderly man who clearly lacked the physical ability needed to be a competent pack leader. “My Prince,” he acknowledged my presence with a slight bow. “I'm Alpha Kendall Mendez of the Paxton pack.”As I shook his hand, I noticed a slight tremble that left me thinking why this man had not retired yet. He is placing an entire pack at risk, as an ambitious Alpha could quickly fight him for dominance and kill or enslave his pack members. In werewolf society, property and membership are linked to prestige; thus, Alphas tend to be more a
Prince Herod’s POV Again The aroma of delicious hot coffee invaded my nostrils, rousing me from a stressful slumber. Since Eden moved into my suite four days ago, I have hardly been able to close my eyes, sleep won’t come easy. The tossing and turning wears me more out, preventing me from getting any rest. It's her scent coupled with the image of her enticing body feverishly rocking beneath mine drives me wild with desire almost every night.The moment I shut my eyes, she became the center of all my dreams. Every night is a struggle to resist running into the guest room to make love to her. Even Xin is becoming weaker in resisting our mate, I often caught staring longingly at her with saliva dripping from his snout. The mate pull works heavy on us, we crave her, it's becoming too much to suppress. This is insane!"Eden!" I grunted, muffled by the pillows covering my face.But there was no answer, my mate left after placing my coffee on t
Again Prince Herod's POV As I approached the door of my suite and was about to put my finger on the scanner, I abruptly stopped in my tracks.From behind the door, Eden's voice resonates loudly, my mate is having a good time singing along with the music that echoes from the stereo. And it is not only the beautiful voice that alerted me but also the wonderful smell wafting over towards me. Today she came home early and was busy behind the stove.I think my mate has a surprise ready for me today. I glance down at the flowers in my hand, it looks like we both have plans to create an unforgettable evening. As she tries to hit a high note, I can't help but smile, she gives up halfway because her voice is failing her. She's probably more concentrated on preparing our meal than perfecting her vocal abilities. My hand reaches for the pocket in my jacket, double-checking that the ring is still there.And I opened t
