Prince Harad's POV Still

“The Alpha Females paid them to leave this town, to abandon us. I wonder how much we were worth.”

As Herod speaks, the unmistakable disappointment and pain are audible in his voice. All kinds of emotions flood across his face, reflecting my own feelings of betrayal.

He turns away in an effort to conceal from our view that he is having a hard time maintaining composure.

This discovery is difficult to digest, all along we were in love with our own mates. While I had every intention of keeping Cissy by my side, Herod, on the contrary, was willing to sacrifice Xanna for an unknown mate. All works out in my favor, now Cissy and my mate are one and the same person.

With a tumultuous rage brewing within me, I stand behind Herod.

"Who do you think you are to judge her?" I snarled. "Wasn't it you who constantly rejected Xanna? She was putting all of her effort into this relationship with you. If only you had been a little more lenient, she might h

    Again Prince Harad's POV There were several telltale signs that gave us a strong indication Cissy and Xanne were the women we had been searching for. It was their appearance, particularly the eye-catching color of their hair and also their small stature, that should have alerted as well as the swift way in which they captured Herod's and my hearts. Prior to meeting this woman, I had only pursued short-lived affairs founded solely on superficial attraction but with her, I experienced an unparalleled intensity and all-encompassing love. With Cissy, I experienced a complex range of emotions that ultimately could only point to one thing, I was madly in love with her.I yearn to keep her near me and provide for her needs, cherishing the sound of her voice and feeling the touch of her skin. Those feelings were all fresh, if I had paid more attention to it, I could at least have had a good guess. As for Xan, that wolf of mine was

His eyes were opened wide, filled to the brim with fear and disbelief.The palpable fear in him is especially interesting. What could be causing him to hesitate in disclosing Taylor's whereabouts when it is clear that she was with him? As I wait endlessly for his reply, a nagging sensation of doubt and suspicion creeps up within me."Beta, we are Lycans. We are capable of detecting even the faintest scent," I informed him sarcastically as I advanced towards him. "You shared a bed with her and my instincts warn me that there's something wrong with your attitude. Where is she? I want to talk to her!" As I waited impatiently for him to answer, I noticed a muscle in his neck twitching.“Your Highnesses, please,” his voice quivered with nervousness. “She is with the Alpha and cannot be contacted at the moment. I will

This is a severe setback, and I wonder who could be responsible for this damage. Harad and Herod have never been violent towards us, and we do not have any other enemies we know of. This could be a random act of vandalism caused by drug addicts or joyriders who found an inappropriate way to entertain themselves. "Cissy, what should we do now?" Xanne sounded disappointed. “I am at a loss as to what we should do next. Without any money and no means of transportation to reach our destination, even the thought of hitchhiking seems pointless since we still need to buy food.” Tears of despair welled up in her eyes. Just a few moments ago, we felt like we were making headway toward our goal, but here we were again, facing an unforeseen obstacle

"You must come here, there is something you absolutely have got to witness with your own eyes!" When we stepped into this room this morning to do our work, I noticed that the kind guest had left the television in the sitting area turned on for us. My curiosity was piqued and I turned it on to the Werewolf Media Network, a media outlet that provides an unparalleled look into various wolf packs around the globe. It has been quite some time since news of my species reached me so I couldn't conceal my excitement upon getting this opportunity. Xanna rushes to the sitting room, alarmed by my urgent tone.

She dropped the phone and then turned it off, but I could still clearly hear Xanne's voice in the background. What could be the reason for her reluctance to call me? Why is she hiding from me?I don't mean anything bad, if only she wanted to confide in me about the assignment she has to complete, then I'm more than willing to help her with it.

We parked the car and stayed inside to observe our surroundings, hoping to spot our mates. Now that we know of Xanne's potions, our focus is on the scent of Neem.It's unique, if they were nearby we would be able to smell it. After observing for a while, we realize that none of them are here. We get out of the vehicle and make our way into the hotel lobby. Arriving at the desk, there is no one there but Noa, a werewolf with whom I had a one-night stand quite some time ago. When she sees me, she greets me with a big smile. "Harad! Nice to see you again. Are you staying a little longer this time?'She blinks her eyes promisingly, and I know exactly what she is offering. But I am not interested this time, the time of loose affairs is over.

'We have to find them today, Xin says he won't go anywhere else, he insists on searching for his mate right away. He's sure she's not far.” We shift back into fully human form, Walter stands before us with a pensive expression. It seems as though he has something on his mind, but just as he is about to speak, he changes his mind at the last minute. “Let's bring them a gift, Harad. Even if it is just to show them how much we appreciate them,” Herod suggested. “You know they can't scent us yet, they're not at the right age yet. And I don't want to rush Xanne either, I want to take the time to form a strong bond with her before I claim her on her birthday,” he added dreamily.

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.

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.

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

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,

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.

    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

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.
