Prince Harad's POV I have been unable to sleep a wink all night. The thought of Cissy's pack being slaughtered and her and Xanna being left alone in the world without protection is unsettling. According to Gamma Eugne, this happened three years ago, when Cissy was only fifteen. It is a miracle that two young she-wolves were able to survive against dangerous pack wolves and humans. I am curious about how they managed to survive all those years since they were not allowed to work. Today, they will provide us with answers.I need to hear the whole story, from the moment of the massacre until today, how they were able to save themselves on that fateful day and what they believe was the reason for the attack. I know my father will hold not only the Alpha, but also the Elders of Crescent Moon accountable. About a hundred years ago, when the King ascended to the throne, he immediately banned pack wars. Prior to this
Still Prince Harad's POV Herod barely has his fist on the door before it swings open.In front of us stands Taylor, wearing prudish pajamas and smiling so broadly that I almost burst out laughing. But as I look closer, I notice that the first buttons are undone, revealing much of her creamy breasts.Nausea rises within me. This is a far cry from the pathetic victim of violence I brought here yesterday. “Sir,” she greeted us as she fixed her eyes on me. Her lips held a sensual smile, and she pushed her breasts forward, which seemed to hold a promise. I scowled, what is this now?But finally taking the time to look at the other visitor, she sees Herod and is puzzled by the resemblance. This was not new to us; Herod and I were often confronted with such reactions.“Don't worry, I was the one you came into contact with last night,” I reassured her. “This is my brother, Herod. Actually, there is someone here who would like to spe
Still Prince Harad's POVWhile we wait for the girls, the bickering between Gamma and Taylor continues.I shut myself off, I'm too confused about what just happened to me. Xan's behavior really surprised me, never before have we crossed the line and paid attention to one of Herod's mistresses. It is an unspoken agreement between my brother and me that we never date or sleep with the same woman. Threesomes are not for us.But I'm shocked at my reaction to Xanna just now.Oh well, maybe I'm reading too much into it, it's normal to appreciate a beautiful woman, but that doesn't have to mean anything. Cissy is also beautiful, her attraction to me is massive, I feel something special for her.I shake my head as if that will clear my thoughts.Looking around the living room, I see Herod standing by the window, staring out. His shoulders are straight, which means he is struggling inwardly. The sight of Xanna sleeping has probably stirred his emotions more than he thought possible. He fights
Prince Harad's POV Still As Herod escorts the two out the door, I observe Cissy closely.I notice a change in her demeanor. Although she was never particularly affectionate towards me, she now seems more distant, and our relationship has taken a step back. I had hoped that she would agree to stay with me today. Now that the three of us have to move out of that pack, I'm sure we can find a luxurious apartment near this place. Maybe we could rent a separate room for the night so we can be together undisturbed. The waiting is driving me crazy, and my body is burning with desire for this woman. I can imagine making love to her all evening and still not having enough. Regardless of what happens, I must have her with me when I return to the Kingdom. I gently take her hand and lift it to my lips. "Beauty, what's going on? Why the sudden change in attitude?" I asked softly as I brought my hand to her face. She closed her eyes
Somewhere on the parking lodge of Stan's Fast-Food “Why did you come after me, Eugne? Why are you making my life so difficult?” an angry she-wolf shouted at a man who watched her drama with folded arms. “I already told you, there is no 'me and you.' I prefer a human over a Gamma,” she snapped at the man. “You're old. It won't be long before you join the ranks of the elderly. What do you want with a young woman like me?” The man stands there, coolly listening to the insults of the woman who is supposed to be his mate.For years, he pursued her, hoping the mate bond would draw her to him. A year ago, when she announced that she was leaving for the big city with a human, his heart was shattered into a million pieces. Too proud to demand an explanation, he watched with a heavy heart as she walked away without looking back. She had asked him to keep their mating a secret, only Alpha Rayen and Luna
The sound of the bell echoes throughout the surroundings, piercing the silence with surprising intensity. “Miss, what is your purpose for being here?” a voice came through the monitor. Taylor was initially startled by the metallic sound but quickly regained her composure. “I would like to speak with Alpha Dimitri. Although I do not have an appointment, what I have to tell him is urgent,” she explained in an attempt to gain entry to Crescent Moon. “Interesting. Anyone can say that,” the owner of the voice retorted skeptically. “What is your name and which pack are you from?” “I'm Taylor Nicholson and I'm a lone wolf right now,” she answered impatiently. “Please, give me the benefit of the doubt. I promise you that this is all worth it.” “Sure!” The gate opens and a man with a golden blond head stands with his legs apart in the opening. His eyes are rimmed in black and his pale skin is translucent. He stares intently at the
“Accept me as your Luna, and I will reveal the names of the two survivors of the massacre you caused three years ago in Eclipse Howlers.” Taylor stands before Alpha Dimitri with her hands on her hips, blinking coquettishly. Her demand is accompanied by various seductions, designed to draw the Alpha's attention to her alluring assets. She believes she can leverage her beauty for a higher position. “You're aiming too high, woman. Why would I choose an Omega as my mate when there are several fine Alpha females available?" he taunted her. “I have a lot to offer a mate: status, wealth, and power. Why would I waste that on you?” The woman swaggered her hips over to the Alpha, sat down on the arm of his couch, and bent over to give him a good view of her ample breasts. However, Dimitri appears uninterested and turns away, clearly bored. "Miss Taylor, the Luna position is prestigious and highly coveted. What you offer
Prince Harad's POVThe more we distance ourselves from the girls, the more I feel like it wasn't such a good idea to leave them behind.We must leave Crescent Moon at once; the pack will be investigated once we have informed the King of what has transpired here. Although Dimitri is my friend, this mistake is too grave to overlook. As long as Cissy and Xanna remain lone wolves in this area, he will not evade punishment.When we arrive at the packhouse, the Beta is waiting for us on the porch.“Your Majesties, we missed you at breakfast. But fortunately, you arrived in time for lunch," he greeted us kindly. “We can have an apéritif while the Omegas serve our meal at the table.” He leads us to a back terrace where a well stocked bar is set up.To our surprise, Alpha Dimitri was not there. We had thought he had sent the Beta ahead to get us, but apparently not. “Beta Naria, where is the Alpha?” I inquired, somewhat annoyed. "I thought I wou
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
