Audrey's POV.

I blinked my eyes repeatedly after he had said that because I found it quite difficult to believe what he had just said.

I felt like I was living a dream I would soon awake from and I felt bad to know that these could all just be fragments of my imaginations.

"Where am I staying then?" I asked carefully, not wanting to come off as too eager or too willing.

"In the palace with me." He replied, making me gasp in shock.

He ought to be kidding me!

He slowly took in my expression and when he had seen what he was looking for, the frown on his face dissipated and was immediately replaced with a bright smile which almost blinded my vision.

I was awestruck!

"I hope you'll like it here." He added, but when I still didn’t say a word, he nudged me carefully, saying; “ say something!”

"I would love to be here,” I said slowly, “…I'm only just a lil bit surprised that's all."

A laugh escaped from his lips before he hugged me. I was also surprised that he had hugged me, but I sa

I’m wondering why meeting and everything takes place in the king’s bedroom. Why not have people meet him in his office?

I know we are all Team Audrey and therefore, that makes Shantil a skank in our books but from her perspective she had a relationship with the King that she hoped would be permanent. He was a manwhore. Audrey shows up and all of a sudden the King ditches her. Not nice of him.

    Audrey's POV.I glanced curiously between the man that just walked in with Adler and back at the king, and couldn’t help but wonder what the deal was between them. It was quite obvious that King Kaden wasn't happy to see him here but I didn’t want to come off as too curious and decided not to ask him about it."King Kaden." The man bowed, but from the almost nonexistent smirk on his face, it was glaring that he didn’t mean his greetings.King Kaden's nostrils flared, his lip twitched as he glared at him, but then he snarled; "What are you doing here?"The man chuckled, "Why should I be the only one to have some fun? You know you're dying for it.""What do you want, Prince Erik?" Kaden rubbed his temples.Prince Erik rolled his eyes dramatically, "Cousin you wound me."He clutched his heart playfully, then smiled wickedly, "But anyway..." He leaned forward slightly until his nose almost brushed against Kaden’s and I looked away because I was starting to feel weird.In fact, this whole

    Kaden's POV.I couldn't believe Erik had the nerve to show his face here.The audacity of it all! I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't just as pissed off as he was, even though I knew he did not deserve my fury. My eyes narrowed as Erik walked up, his face had a smug smirk on it, as though he were in absolute control.When he came inside my room, I almost lost it and pounded his face with my fists, but I stopped myself from doing so simply because my Audrey was then and now he’s done something else, something worse.Funny enough, he didn't say anything. Instead he just stared back at me, waiting for me to say something, goading me, testing me.I clenched my teeth, trying to think of how to send him back.He was never to be trusted, he wanted my throne and I didn’t like that. I couldn’t shake out how many times he has tried to kill me in the past, how many times he had tried to overtake my throne, and how he has always failed.If he’s here for it this time again, then he would not succ

  • The Revenge Of A Rejected Mate   Chapter 37

    Audrey's POV.I pranced around the king's room nervously, wondering why he took so long after he left the room with Prince Erik even after he had told me that he wouldn’t be taking too long.After prancing about the room for a while, I sat back down on his fluffy bed with a huff, my feet already tired from my incessant walking.I sighed in frustration and tried to calm myself but I just couldn’t. I was sure that King Kaden would return soon, but I still felt worried because it was quite unlike him to say a thing and do another. He had promised to come back after a little while and so I had waited patiently until now that it was quite over a few hours and he had still not shown up. Unconsciously, I stared at the door and was shocked when it opened but when I waited for someone to walk in, no one did. I frowned at what just happened, and again, when I stared at the door, it closed immediately as if it was being controlled by some external force. Curiously, I got up and walked tow

    Audrey's POV.I didn't want to know who this man was, but I just knew that he was definitely someone dangerous and someone I needed to flee from.My heart thumped furiously against my chest, fear making my blood run cold as I stood with my hands trembling against the table in front of me, trying to make sure that he didn't notice how scared I was. It wasn't like I could let him know how weak I am, he could attack me easily."Who are you?" I asked after summoning the courage."You don't get to ask questions, you'll just follow me." He smirked.I took a sharp breath and closed my eyes for a second, I imagined throwing him across the room.To my biggest surprise he crashed on the cupboard wincing in pain, I gasped in shock wondering how I did that.I then realized that it had been me doing that all along. I used my power when I was in the king's room, but I didn't understand where this power came from."What are you? What do you want from me?" I demanded.He stood, looking at me angrily

    -Kaden POV-"That bastard!" The words pushed its way out of my gritting teeth as I pranced restlessly from one end of the room to another. I tightened my fist, making my veins pop out in a way that it accentuated my arms. My knuckles were reddish and sore from all the suffering I had inflicted on the walls due to the sizzling rage coursing through my veins, but I didn't stop, didn’t want to."You should go meet him in the dungeon instead of fighting with the wall. It will yield no result," a voice said from beside me and without thinking much about who it was, I already knew it was Adler. I simply let the hot air out of my nostrils and surrendered with my hands raised high; "You are right, I’ll just have to go now." I said.He walked up to me, tapped lightly on my shoulder and then began prancing about the room too, making it quite obvious that he was just as restless as I was about the whole issue. "You know what to do," he whispered into my ears."I know what to do, Adler," I r

    -Audrey POV-It was hard work bringing myself together. The hairs on my body stood up, waiting for the outcome of whatever Kaden had gone to do.I instinctively wrapped my hands around my neck and winced when I felt like I was reliving the moment that hideous man had wrapped his hands around my neck.I shuddered. The room was stuffy; even though the windows were open, it still felt like I was being choked up.I was about to commence prancing about the room when I suddenly heard the door click open and king Kaden trudged in tiredly into the room. My heart immediately sank when I took notice of the grim expression on his face and I couldn’t help but think that there was something probably bugging him.“Hey.” I said softly, and as soon as he heard me speak, he looked up and flashed me a small smile.“Hi.”I wasn’t interested in spiking a conversation especially when it was quite obvious that there was someone after my life and so I decided to quickly rush out; "Were you able to find o

    -Audrey POV-It all felt strange, and even I felt strange in a way too. I was standing in a wide field under the twinkling stars but I had no recollection whatsoever of how I had gotten here in the first place.The crescent moon which stood like a morning soul was dripping a scarlet colored liquid from its side, and when I checked I was surprised to find out that it was blood. It was covered with blood and I was standing right underneath it with no one in sight. There were swords lying on the floor, dry skulls were scattered at every corner, and the foul smell of rot filled the air. The entire scenery made me shudder violently. I had never seen a sight as gory as this. Instinctively, I gripped the hem of my clothing as I observed my surroundings and called out the only name I could think of at the moment;"Kaden," I tried voicing out but it was as if the word didn't pass through my mouth; I felt suffocated and my throat was clogged up."Audrey…" I heard a scream from a distance fol

    -Kaden's POV-I felt really bad looking at Audrey laying on the bed. I knew that it was all my fault but I couldn’t bring myself to say that. It's been more than three hours since she became calm but also the amount of time she has been like this...unmoving.My hands burned with a raw warmth when I adjusted her red hair and smiled to myself when she flinched at my touch. To my utter surprise, her puppy blues eyes flickered open slowly and she sneezed."Sorry. You will be fine," I said, rubbing her hand. She gave me a weak smile and I smiled back."Where am I?" she suddenly jolted up as if something had come over her, but before I could react to her sudden alertness, she quickly threw her legs to the side and sat up on the bed. I noticed how she stared intently at the doctor who was trying to prescribe some drugs for her and couldn’t help but wonder what she must be thinking right now. "You passed out some hours ago and I called a doctor," I tried explaining to her but it seemed s

  • The Revenge Of A Rejected Mate   Epilogue

    With my hands planted firmly on my waist, I stared confusedly at the two crying babies in front of me and no matter what I did or said to calm them down, nothing seemed to be working. Seemingly Lost in confusion and not knowing what to do, I tried hard to comfort the crying babies in front of me but they instead laid, crying tirelessly that at a point, I did not know what else to do for they could not stop crying. I carried one of them in my arms and began to rock it gently, the other laid in the crib built for the two babies. I continued this way, giving turns to each of them as I held them in my arms attempting to get them to fall asleep but they wouldn’t. That did little to make them quit though and I grew frustrated but I knew I could not give up. I had tons of work to do, a lot of paperwork also and the thought of attending to those immediately after dropping these kids filled me with so much tiredness that I felt I would drop dead. Since the takeover from Jacob, there

    Audrey's POVFeeling happy and fulfilled that I had fulfilled my words and that I had been able to Kill Jacob in the exact way I had imagined it, I smiled to myself thinking of how this was the first time I felt like I had done something worth deserving as I stared down at his decapitated body which was now covered in a of his own blood, and could vividly see the hole I made on his heart.A smile got stuck on my lips and I couldn't let it go. I allowed it, wondering why Ian had this weird stare on me."You finally killed the predator, after being the prey for so long. You're taking over the predator's land." I muttered to myself as I stared at his blood dripping neck, making trails as I walked, I wanted them to see that I had killed Jacob and ended his reign of terror and destruction.I walked out to the corridor where she listened to the silent gasps and the scared look on the faces of the people.I held the head in my hands and showed it to the people."This marks the end of this he

    Audrey's POVI knew Jacob was a bit surprised that I had smiles all over my face, despite the fact that he had a knife pressed on my neck.He was a bit stubborn and I wondered what I would say to him that would make him move the knife away from my neck despite all the white lies I had told him. It was a little confusing to watch him and the cynical smile on his face and at the same time, I was bothered because I knew he was psychotic and could do anything."You could just remove this knife, I would surely guarantee your safety." I said quietly as he pressed the knife deeper into my neck, it was hurting but I couldn't let out a tear, knowing that it would mean defeat and I hated being defeated by clumsy enemies such as Jacob. "Do you expect me to believe you?" He retorted sharply as he pressed the knife, adding a little force to it. When he wasn’t watching, I tilted my head slowly, in a bid to pull my neck away from the sharp blade. "Come on, you have my word, I would surely beg Kad

    Kaden's POVI loved the fact that Logan had to turn against his pack, knowing fully well that Jacob turned them against him. Having killed some of his men, Logan grew tired of killing and felt like setting it amicably.They surrounded him as he let down his guard, he told his men to do the same as they all stopped fighting, Jacob's soldiers were afraid, I guess filled with that thought that they were just leading them to a trap."Why won't you fight us?" The Chief guard questioned as the guard paved the way for him to walk through. "I can't, we can keep on wasting our strength on each other when the real devil is up there watching us." Logan explained, wondering how Logan tends to make this work, it would be hard and it might get ugly. "What do you mean?" The Chief guard was confused. "Jacob is a man that would surely have you all killed if need be. He wouldn't hesitate to threaten the lives of your family if you dare flout his orders" Logan uttered, wearing a smile on his face, ho

    Kaden's POVI felt uneasy, knowing that I had my reservations with Audrey's plot, but I had to give in, she had it all planned out and now that I thought about it, mine had loopholes.If we had attacked Jacob as I planned, he would have escaped or better still led us into one of his unforseen traps which would leave us in jeopardy; harming my men, weakening my manpower and having a strong hold on my resources.But with Audrey's plot, she handles on the inside, while we take care of his men outside which would make everything even and provide Jacob with an extremely slim chance of escaping or having to use someone as bait while trying to escape. "I just hope Audrey succeeds with her plan, I'll take care of these ones here with my own plan," I muttered to myself, knowing that my men were also waiting for my signal.I assured myself, rigging off every fear and trying to remain at peace as I waited for a signal to show that Audrey was in trouble. For now though, I hadn't felt any pa

    AUDREY’S POVI waited for Jacob’s reply to my sarcastic but true comment about the palace but it did not come, the intent of it had not fazed him a bit I noticed and I began to wonder what went on through his mischievous mind. Jacob gently placed his arm around my back and I flinched at the feel of his strong arms around me but let him guide me to a chair close to his throne. Surprisingly he had not still said anything in reply to the view I had concerning the place, perhaps he had sensed the sarcasm in my voice even though I suspected that he knew what I said was true. He acted really sweet towards me while I acted according to the script I was writing in my mind.I sat down calmly on the chair he had offered me and he sat on the enormous throne. We started to talk and he asked about my trip there, asking if I had any troubles on my way. I sweetly replied to him, not forgetting to remind him of how I was capable of taking care of myself. I wondered why he and Kaden always felt that

    Audrey’s POVDespite the anger I felt coursing through my veins and spiking up my nerves, I managed to force a smile as the soldier who stood guard at the door to the throne room opened the huge doors for me to pass through. I stepped into the room slowly as if expecting to be met with some kind of trap and then stopped at some point to take my first real glance at the expanse of the room and the striking view ahead of me. I marveled at the sheer beauty it emitted but couldn’t help but think about how it had lost its shine. The palace, even though ancient as it was, was one of the most mesmerizing views I had ever had the pleasure of seeing. It looked different from what I remembered it to be; the structures were getting old, the decorations were fading out, and what made the room gorgeous most was no longer there – the glitter of people laughing and cheering happily nonstop, in love and harmony.The memory of how the palace used to be filled with love and glamor when it was still m

    Audrey's POVI sat with my hands folded in front of me as I had become more than a little tense due to how much I was wondering what Kaden wanted to tell me that made him keep me in a weird suspense. I hated the fact that my heart raced, hoping that the news wouldn't affect me, or have anything to do with Kaden or Shantel but then from the expression on his face, it was difficult to ascertain if the news coming was a bad one or a good one. I gulped.Filling my head with irrelevant thoughts, I was getting confused as I felt someone holding my left palm, Shantel tilted her head upwards and down, assuring me that all would be fine. I hearkened to her with the evidence of doubt still writhing in me."You're making me uneasy, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" I stuttered as Kaden bowed his head down as he said in a low tone;"I can't tell you, when she's around. She has to leave us, it's personal and urgent.""That won't be possible, Shantel says. If I deserve to listen to this new

    Audrey's POVI hated the fact that I had soiled my fingers trying to take down a guard, knowing that this was a test to show my strength and skills which I knew I didn't have. I just wanted to be able to fight off my enemies with my hands and legs in combat, which would be to my advantage and would come in handy whenever I would need to protect myself, knowing fully well that this was dark times and that Kaden's soldiers were dying in their numbers.It was hard to believe it, but they would just go missing and their dead body would be found, wondering what he was planning or his plans on how to catch this culprit that has murdered many men. I knew this was a plot to reduce Kaden's man power, and it was working effectively. Jacob knew this, and was using it to his advantage. "You're doing quite well, keep it up" Shantel said to me even though I knew I wasn’t doing any good. I knew that she was only being helpful, the smile on her face said the words she was hiding.
