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
Again Alpha Female Ciciane's POVAs I gradually awaken from my sleep, I find myself nestled against a delightful and cozy wall.It's naked and firm, when I snuggle against it the exquisite smell of an expensive cologne invigorates my senses. It entices me to caress this wall with my fingertips. Sparks are coursing through my body, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine. Acting on pure instinct, I press myself even closer to it as the sensation intensifies, it feels so good. Now I let my lips follow the path of my fingers. Goddess, it tastes as good as it smells. I really need more, so the tip of my tongue also gets involved, leaving behind a slick trail. “If you continue like this, I won't be responsible for the consequences, mate,” I heard Harad's hoarse voice warned. “Xan is already on edge, he can't wait to claim you and your actions are only adding fuel to his fire. I suggest you get out of bed while you still can.”
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV Still Intense shooting pains in my back abruptly woke me up.I barely manage to stifle a cry, arching my back in an attempt to find relief. These are the same pains I usually got when Harad was unfaithful and I had to drink Eon's potion to fight it. But when I look next to me, Harad sleeps soundly with his arms possessively encircling me. As the shots subside, I practice some calming breathing techniques. Memories of my first genuine sexual encounter flood my mind as I lie with my only mate here beside me. Overwhelmed with bliss and contentment at how perfectly everything turned out, it affirms that coming here was indeed a wise decision after all. Now Harad and I can pursue our relationship exclusively without third parties, no multiple mating for us. It's just him and me in this love circle. But then suddenly the pain returns with its full force.Confused, I stared at the man ne
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV AgainIt was the incessant shaking of my body that brought me back to my senses.When I look around, I become acutely aware of the fact that I am lying in the backseat of a car that is speeding at a breakneck pace down the road. Through the car window, I see trees rushing by, it is all forest with tall trees.Feeling tired, I try to sit up, but the dizziness keeps me down. Groaning in discomfort, I make another effort to rise when suddenly the car comes to an abrupt stop and jolts me forward. Rolling over onto my back again, I come face-to-face with none other than Amira. “Cissy!” she sighed in relief. “I'm so glad you're back. Your disappearance caused the Kingdom to spiral into chaos and Harad's wolf is running rampant through Crescent Moon and Human Town in search of you. He wants you back!” I sink into the plush cushions of the back seat, seeking to clear my mind.And then I remember it all over again. Eon
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV Once MoreEclipse Howlers! My pack, my home that holds both great memories and nightmares for me. But today I am exceptionally happy to lay eyes on it once more. As soon as we enter its gigantic gates, it is like coming home. Everything is exactly as vivid and familiar to me as it was before those conniving Alphas of Crescent Moon razed this place to ruins. As we drive along the beautiful street, I am in awe of the impeccably tended flora and fauna lining either side. Yet my breath catches in my throat when I notice an absence where once stood homes, they were shamelessly burned to the ground by the criminals.The landscape is now completely flat, the grass is trimmed and looks neat. My big surprise comes when we pull into the driveway of the packhouse. A cry of joy escapes me when the stunning mansion comes into sight. It's in the same style and colors as once designed by my mother. This was also almost comp
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV againTwo weeks in my own pack and I have already established a daily routine.Every morning, I step out onto my balcony to greet my parents and exchange some casual banter about my daily concerns. My conversations typically revolve around garden plans and meal preparations for the day ahead, nothing too pressing or serious. After that, I take a healthy walk around the packhouse and inhale the crisp breeze.Although the scenery is stunning, I yearn for the familiar houses and small enterprises set up by members of my pack. I miss our gathering together with other packs at monthly events and celebrating when new mates find each other. Eclipse Howlers was a dynamic pack, we maintained friendly relationships with allies while remaining steadfast against enemies. Amira is still with me.Mostly at night, I hear her hearty laughs when she's talking to Yuval on the phone.I am overwhelmed with guilt b
Again Alpha Female Ciciane's POV My heart refuses to believe what my brain has already registered.No, Harad would never do this to me, he swore he would only accept me as a mate. Besides, he's still looking for me in Crescent Moon, if that counts for anything. Could it be possible that Xanne had lied? Since we arrived at the Palace, she has changed drastically. The best friend I once knew, who would have gone to great lengths for my happiness, is no more. As the television news transitions to other stories, I stare at it without interest. Yet, Xanne's image still lingers on in my mind.Out of nowhere, a surge of acid seeps up from my stomach. Just in time, I reach the sink in the toilet and deposit the small amount of salad I managed to eat minutes ago. Once it is all out, I splash water on my face and rinse out my mouth before climbing up the stairs to my room. Xanne's revelation has dealt me a heavy blow, although I'm
Prince Harad's POV I hurry down the steps of the Jet, anxious to be back in the Crescent Moon packhouse. It's astounding how frequently I find myself in this pack, my stay here has surpassed even that of my time in the Kingdom.There's something about the Alpha and Beta that sparks suspicion. Actually, the entire pack's demeanor is inexplicably odd. No one dares to look me in the eye and it's not because I'm a Royal. I have a gut feeling that they're privy to information concealed from me and believe me, I'll lay my life on the line if it doesn't concern to Cissy. But in the meantime, I have already realized that my skittish mate is not here, I've scoured every inch of this territory, rifled each house and turned all stones here to look for her. Her scent is nowhere to be found here. Common sense tells me she has no reason to be here anyway. She harbors an intense hatred towards Crescent Moon and she has every valid justification for that. But a pecul
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
