Prince Harad's POV Herod's blood still drips down my fangs as I stare at my prey with fiery red eyes. Never did I think this day would come where I had to prove my power and domination over my very own twin sibling. Prior to today, we have never had disagreements of this nature that we had to fight each other. Herod's insistent pursuit of my mate has cost him dearly. The King's Lycan wolf had to intervene to prevent me from killing this fool. Sebad, the strongest wolf in the Lycanthrope species, stood between Xin and my primal rage and narrowly saved his head from being ripped off. Herod should have known better than to spit his nonsense about multiple mating, knowing how fiercely territorial I am when it comes to Cissy but still thought he could challenge me. Well, after today he knows how it will end if he repeats this stunt. I watch Walter and the King try to speed his recovery while my mother pats my back in an attempt to calm me down. Of cours
Prince Harad's POV Again A loud, anguished howl ripples through the vast territory of the Lycan Kingdom. The magnificent Royal Lycan wolf stands tall on its powerful hind legs, with its head turned towards the full moon in the clear sky. Xan can hardly accept the loss of his beloved mate. As he bounces back onto all fours, he starts sniffing around before sprinting after Cissy's faint scent which leads us into the dense forest not far from The Palace. But then he abruptly halts halfway through. Cissy's scent stops here but she is no longer alone. Someone met her at this spot, a Lycan. Eon! Walter's son was here with Cissy! Do they know each other? Did they agree that he would wait for her here? What exactly is going on here? I need answers and soon! Xan charges towards the nearest gate and there we find two warriors standing guard. Eon and Cissy left through this gate and the two here must have encount
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV Looking out the window, my eyes are fixed on him. Harad, my Prince! He pursued me relentlessly, found me and was standing there on the balcony of the suite opposite mine, eagerly waiting for me. This is the night Era was supposed to confirm that we are fated mates. We would have a lavish mating ceremony before retiring to his exclusively decorated quarters, all conveniently arranged just for me. However, our dream was shattered into a million pieces. The Moon Goddess! She is the one to blame for the current mess we find ourselves in. The choices she made have stripped me of the long-awaited happiness that I once experienced within my parents' loving arms. With Harad, my life would have a new meaning again, he is the promise of an endless abundance of love and happiness. All those uncertainties that were raging through me, the feeling that our relationship was incomplete, came to a head when Herod and
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV Still“Hey, girl, why are you hiding here?”I turn from the tall windows where I had been gazing out over this bustling city in South America that has been my home for four months now.Amira, my colleague and friend, enters the room where I have retreated from the busy party that is going on. It was organized especially for me to celebrate my recent contract with Gosu Media Network, a media company that offered me a two-year deal following an impressive three-month probationary period. The management was so impressed with my work ethic and production skills that they offered me a two-year contract.Almost the entire company is present here in the dance hall of the exquisite hotel where the party is being held. They are enjoying themselves exuberantly on the crowded dance floor or at a stylish bar located to one side. Of course, no one turns down free cocktails and snacks in the most prestigious club in the city. I really needed these minutes to myself, since
Prince Harad's POV“Harad, you really need to go back to the Palace, the Kingdom is in turmoil over your departure.”My mother is on the phone trying to persuade me to return home. Over the past four months, she has called and sent messages to my phone almost a million times, but I consistently ignored them. Of course, I knew what she wanted to say.“Mother, I have to find Cissy,” I explained, defeated. “She is alone in this wide world without any family and friends. Who knows what will happen to her. I will never forgive myself if something happens to her, I have to find her.”On the other end of the line, it remains silent for a moment.“Come home, let's talk about this,” she offered again. "Herod can assist you in the search as he shares a bond with Cissy too. He desires to have her return so that we may resolve this matter appropriately." “He's not Cissy's mate!” I vehemently declare into the phone. "Once I find her, we'll reject thos
Prince Harad's POV Still With much fanfare, a lineup of impressive Maserati's came to a halt in front of the hotel where I am currently staying.The display immediately catches the eye of passersby, exactly what I wanted to avoid. But I believe that His Majesty organized this spectacle as a means of emphasizing how important my return is for him and alerting the Kingdom about it.Eon gets out and walks towards me with an outstretched hand while some warriors load my luggage. “Harad,” he greeted me. “I understand that you were absent for some time. It's good to see you again." We exchanged a strong handshake, it felt a bit awkward. “Thank you, man. Yes, I was looking for my mate,” I informed him while entering the vehicle.He sits behind the wheel and when we buckle our seat belts, he drives out of the parking lot. On several occasions, I catch him stealing glances at me through the rearview mi
Still Prince Harad's POV Before I knew it, Xan has taken over without warning.His furious, blood-red eyeballs replace mine, his wooden sculptured head and sharp claws take charge. He has Eon captive by the collar in a tight grip as he bares his fierce fangs. “Drop that crap, you bum!” he grimaced in the warrior's face. "You didn't let her stay in the hotel by herself, instead, you were with her all the time. Tell me now, where is she? I won't repeat myself!" For the first time I see a glint of uncertainty in the man's eyes, he is usually very macho and full of bravado, as if nothing could ever happen to him. He must now realize that a Royal Lycan without his mate is a dangerous target and that his behavior becomes unbearable. He kept me stringing along for too long with his lies but is pushing his luck too far now. “Harad, I already told you. I simply dropped her off and after that, I don't remember anything
Once More Prince Harad's POV With just three days remaining until the crucial press briefing, I have taken it upon myself to personally visit the nearby werewolf packs and speak directly with their Alphas. My objective is to learn about any efforts they have made in locating the Crown Princess. After landing with the Royal Jet in four surrounding packs with zero success, I decided to head towards Crescent Moon. Alpha Eugne and Luna Taylor have just returned from their vacation and besides dealing with my own problems, I would like to hear from them about how the pack was faring. Although reports submitted to the King are promising, nothing is as good as firsthand feedback from the leader. As the plane comes to a complete halt and Jake, the pilot, opens the door for me, I see a large number of wolves gathered before me. Leading them is Alpha Eugne alongside his Luna Taylor and another male who I suspect must be the newly ap
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
