Alpha Female Ciciane's POV StillAs I leave the locker room, I am overcome with a sense of disarray.Since I'm unable to continue my work for the day, I head to the HR department and request a day off. Once I have arranged all that, I go to Amira's office, only to find it empty. I write a message for her on a piece of paper and leave. Once out on the street, I start to wander around aimlessly.The people strolling by pay me no heed as I make laps in the bustling city for hours. My mind drifts to my unfulfilling existence, lacking any success stories. Everything and everyone I love is either gone or lost, everything is so meaningless. At first, my pack was ripped away from me and my parents were ruthlessly snatched away.Xanne and I endured years of poverty together, but just when things finally looked promising for me, fate took an unexpected turn. This time around, losing not only my mate with whom I was supposed to build a fulfilling
Prince Harad's POVIn the current state of mind I am in now, I cannot possibly face my parents.Right now, I am craving a way to release my pent-up anger. What was Selene thinking when she gave me two mates who also belonged to other men? She understands me better than anyone else, so why does she needlessly complicate my life like this? When Cissy finds out she has three mates instead of two, she will never show up again. It was already difficult enough for me to convince her to accept me as her mate and begin the mating process. I can't help but feel blindsided when Xanne and Herod revealed themselves as additional mates. I'm already aware of how she'll respond upon finding out that Eon is her mate as well. It can't get any worse.Damn, Cissy is already eighteen and if she's still in touch with Eon then the bond between them must have been established by now. But Eon is currently in the Kingdom, if they were already mated, they wouldn't be able
Prince Harad's POV Still“Warrior, escort her to the interrogation room,” I commanded the guard.The man takes the Alpha female by the arm and guides her out of the cell to a room at the end of the hallway. Arriving there, he shoved her into a chair, while I positioned myself opposite to her. “Tell me, how were the weeks spent in the cell?” I started. "I hope they treated you well and the food was adequate.” I struggled to suppress any trace of scorn from my voice or keep a neutral expression on my face. “You know better, my Prince,” she answered. “But I'm sure you didn't bring me here to talk about the food in this prison. You could also discuss this with the chef." “Well, it's not uncommon for a chef and an Alpha female to have divergent tastes", I reminded her. "In fact, I recall that in the past at Crescent Moon, the Alpha family did not eat the same as the rest of the packhouse. Fortunately, things have changed, the out
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV Reassuring Amira was not easy.Repeatedly, she insisted that the fresh CEO was an evil creature. She recounted how his eyes turned into sinister black spheres and his face twisted into an angry grimace as soon as he saw her. Also, there was something ominous about the sound he emitted as well. She nearly had a fit when I proposed visiting the man and personally orienting myself.According to her, Yuval posed a threat, not only to those in the office but also to the entire world. She even suggested notifying the FBI without delay as there was a danger to humanity. I had a hard time holding back my laughter, man, if she finds out about the reality of supernatural species like werewolves, I wonder how she would react to that. I was eventually able to calm her down and she fell asleep out of sheer exhaustion.Closing the bedroom door softly, I make my way to the sitting room. Now that Yuv
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV again "I am Crown Prince Harad, the sole mate of Princess Cissy. She and I have no other mates but each other. We firmly reject any others who think they have a claim on either of us. I already rejected Xanne, and as soon as Cissy returns, she will do the same with Herod. Our bond is exclusive and unbreakable; we maintain absolute loyalty in our relationship." His voice sounds precise and firm while his eyes radiate authority that demands respect. “I don't know what the Moon Goddess intended with this scheme, but it won't happen,” he continued. “It's just Cissy and me.” He takes another break, and his eyes soften. His Adam's apple moves a few times before he resumes speaking. “Cissy, my love. Come back, please. We can fix this, it is not hopeless. It's been almost five months now since I last saw you in person, felt your warm body against my chest, enjoyed your delightf
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV"Cissy! Are you kidding me? Amira cried out. “Are you one of them too? Do werewolves actually exist?”Yuval sits next to his mate on the couch, she has regained consciousness half an hour ago. With her now being Beta's mate and him having no intention of abandoning her, we decided it was time for us to disclose our true nature to her. How his relationship with two mates simultaneously should work is a mystery to me, but of course, it is a private matter of the man. What I know for sure is that my friend will absolutely not participate in a love triangle.Nope, that's not Amira. The Beta will face a challenging task, but given his unshakable determination shown in the short time I've been acquainted with him, he should be able to crack this case. “Not only that, but she holds the title of the Crown Princess of the Werewolves, she will lead us alongside her mate in years to come,” Yuval answered as he tenderly cares
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV againAs we draw nearer to the Kingdom, my heart races violently and lodges in my throat like a hammer, pounding mercilessly.The Royals are expecting me. Yuval, with the permission of Taylor and me, has informed them about the purpose of my arrival. It feels like I am walking into a lion's den without knowing if I will come out alive from here. But I trust King Jasper. His bond with my parents will compel him to take sufficient measures to ensure my safety. Thus far, I'm still the mate of his sons and he would not dare take any risks. My fear is the meeting with Harad, especially after the impassioned speech he gave yesterday.I want to prevent him from thinking that he has touched a deeply sensitive chord in me and that I am now coming back to complete the mating process. What I strive for now is to remove the drama from my life so that I can freely live in Human Town and meet werewolves without fear.
Still Alpha Female Ciciane's POV We make the journey to the Palace in silence.As we get out of the car and walk through the grand doors, the King graciously leads me to his magnificent office with elevated ceilings and windows. Behind an impressive desk, a hand-crafted high chair, specially designed for him. He beckons me over to the sofa in the corner with a wave of his hand.I purposely opt for a solo seat, so as to avoid one of the Princes from sitting next to me and notice how nervous I really am. It comes as no surprise when Harad chooses to sit directly across from me, looking straight into my face. Xanne and Herod settle into a double-seat, whilst the King and Queen luxuriate on an expansive sofa. “Cissy, when you left you were clearly shocked by Herod's announcement,” the King began. “We were all surprised not just by the news from Herod but also Xanne. However, your way of responding is unacceptable. Running away doesn't change a
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
