The mother and duo all coughed simultaneously at what he just said. While Prince zeid's face remains emotionless.
Finding it difficult to believe what I just heard Prince Brice said that this cold, obnoxious, heartless Crown Prince that was thought to hate ladies would think of doing such a thing. He even confirmed that what Prince Brice said to be true. So that why he acted so different with me.
I glance at him only to notice he was already looking at me. When he caught my eyes, he raised his brows in question and smirked at me. I averted my eyes from him and mentally shook my head in disbelieve.
"hehe, who would have thought that this was the reason you've been acting mean to those ladies all this while brother. I'm quite impressed." Princess Alexa laughed in astonishment.
The King walked up to me with his hands outstretched before placing them on my shoulders, "Ashley it's so nice to finally meet. You don't know how excited I am for us to be able t
hey lovelies, hope you are all good. I know this chapter is kind of short but I promise to make it up to you in the next chapter. xoxo from your favorite author.
The King waved his hand, "Stop with the formality and come and join us at the table. It's not offensive at all. You know how much I admire and appreciate you. "You know how much I wished you were zeid's mate, it's just a pity you aren't his mate. But don't wo..." At this point, though I know the King doesn't mean to hurt me in any way, but his words still got to me somehow. Moreover, beside me, I noticed how stiff Prince Zeid became the moment he started talking. The Queen held unto his hand to stop him from continuing what he was about to say, "Lady Anya, please join us." Lookin guilty, the King chips in, "yes join us". Curtsying, "Thank you, your Majesties" She walks to the table and made attempt to sit at the other side of Prince zeid. A frown appeared on his forehead, "Don't...sit elsewhere." Wow, ok... Now I see what they mean by him being rude to ladies. "zeid" The Queen Cautioned.
"I have a meeting with the council, so I'm done here. zeid I want you to join in the meeting, so come along." He concluded standing up. We all stood up in respect for him before sitting back down the moment he left the room. Placing his hand on mine, "let Alexa keep you company till I get back from the meeting okay." Prince Zeid said to me looking concerned about leaving me alone. "brother don't worry she has me here. You can go to your meeting." Princess Alexa Said in reassurance. I gave him a nod " Go, I will be fine." Looking a bit assured, "okay Alexa I leave her to you for now. take care of her. If my attention is needed, contact me immediately." "Bro, don't worry I have nothing to do today so I will spend it with them and protect them if anything could go wrong." Prince Brice chipped in from where he was sitting. "Son go, You can trust your siblings to protect and keep Ashley safe and I will also assign some of the palace's trust
Damn it!!! After all my efforts to get close to the Prince and dispose of all the other female wolves that the King invited to the palace thinking that one of them will be his mate. After my effort of making sure that every one of them doesn't last a day or two at most in the palace before I get rid of them permanently. After my secret warnings to the royal family that the moment His mate is found and enters the palace, she will meet her demise. After I made them aware that all the ladies invited to the palace by the King ended up being dead as a warning to the Prince on what will happen to his mate when eventually was found. I even left traces of blood and killings around the palace after I entered it, to make it look as though my life was in danger so that they wouldn't suspect me at all since I was the only lady that was invited to the palace that is still alive after two days of my stay in the palace. F**k!!! no, I need to do somethi
I will definitely make sure it's soon and not later. Cause I don't think I can stand her presence long in this palace. I need to make it sooner before they feel attached to her with the way they've accepted her. If not they will be so protective of her. *Knock...Knock* "yes" I called out in annoyance. "My Lady I've brought your dinner over," Matilda announces walking in. "Take it back. I will join the royal family for dinner" "B...But my lady you were not invited to the table...and besides this is the first meal the Crown Prince Mate is having with the family and outsiders were not invited" *Slap* Hearing what she said, I gave her a hard slap that made her fall on her a**. Furious, I looked at her crying self, "What do you mean by an outsider. Are you referring me to one? Did I even ask for your opinion? Who do you think you are to question me? When next I ask you to do something and you decide to qu
"you just have to take your precious time to contact us" I hear his baritone voice the moment the light dims. Stuttering, "N...no that's not the case my Lord" "Then tell me why you haven't deemed it fit to contact us for the past few days, my dear". He said folding his hands behind his back as he walked leisurely around my room before coming to a stop by the window, and moved the closed curtains aside to look out the room. Bowing slightly to him, "I've been quite preoccupied with a recent occurrence that I wanted to take care of before informing you about it." *thump...thump...thump* hitting his fingers which is about 3inches long on the window frame, before giving me a side look, "Oh... really. Do tell me what occurred that made you neglect your duty of informing us about what goes on in the palace because I heard something interesting that you might have failed to inform us." Damn, I should have known nothing gets past their line of view. They
But is the palace not supposed to be the safest place on earth, so why would I need protection within the walls? That night, after being kept company by the two siblings and shown around the palace, I retire to my room to call it a day without seeing Prince zeid for the rest of the night. I was told the meeting took longer than was supposed and was still having the meeting at the time I went to bed. During the middle of the night, I was woken up by a foul smell. At first, I thought the smell was coming from outside but when I opened my eyes I felt an ominous presence in the room which made me fully alerted of my surroundings. I looked around and saw a dark figure standing in the far corner of the room. I couldn't see exactly what it is, but it looks like a person with glowing eyes from its shape, and from what I could confirm the smell was coming from it. The figure started moving forward till I could see it perfectly. Gripped with fear, I stumbled ba
MATURE CONTENT BELOW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. Don't know why but it was so easy telling him this and the moment I opened my mouth to begin, it was as though I became lighter. "I should have just listened to them. Just because of my stubbornness...just because I refused to listen to them for once...I lost them... they got killed just to save my life...sacrificed their lives for mine..." At this point, I was so hysterical with my grief that I could hardly breathe properly. I was pulled into his arms and hugged tightly while he rubs his hands up and down my back trying to console me. I grab his shirt and curled up in him crying my eyes out. This was the first time I cried after the incident. I was so shaken up by my grief that I didn't know when he moved us to a lying position on the bed. It was after some time that I was able to calm myself down that I realize the position we are in. Pan
This went on for some time till we both climaxed together. He collapsed on me, nuzzling his nose in between my shoulder blades leaving tiny bits of bites there. He was still buried deep in me as he lay on top of me. We were covered with sweat as we try to catch our breath. My fingers fondle his hair as he lay there trying to catch his breath. He placed his weight on his hands as he pushes his upper body up to look down at me. I blush at the intense gaze he was giving me. He leans down to place light kisses on my lips at first before deepening them. I let out a gasp as I feel him getting hard in me before pumping in and out at a slower rate than before. Taking his sweet time this time. He rolled off me taking me with him as he changes our position with him laying on his back and me on top of him, straddling him. At first, I don't know what to do in this position as I squirm about on him. He placed his hands on my waist to direct me on what to do. I got the han

It’s been years since the war happened, and ever since, things had changed drastically. To be precise, it’s been five years, four months, two weeks, three days, eight hours, twelve minutes, and eighteen seconds, since the war.Yeah, I’ve been keeping count and during those periods, things have drastically changed.After the attack, we were able to locate where Lady Anya and the rest of their groups were hiding and annihilated them immediately. We made sure that there will be no more uprising from them or any other forces.And after the clean-up, we moved further within the walls of the forest where it will be so difficult to locate the palace and where no arms could befall my unconscious mate.She has yet to regain her consciousness after so many years, leaving us to only hope for a miracle to happen.The first few months were heart reeking for everyone as her life kept slipping away several times but mother and her team worked th
Walking into their room, I saw two of the most adorable pups ever, lying down in their cribs, sleeping peacefully and not having a clue of what was going on around them. I walk quietly towards them and saw that they weren’t only adorable but they looked so much like her. Even though they were just given birth to, the similarities between them and their mother were so obvious. My heart suddenly tightened in severe pain and went on my knees as I held my heart tightly. This only indicated one thing, and that was my mate struggling for her life and slipping away. I stood up to run towards the infirmary but came to a halt as my pups suddenly burst out crying at the same time and I knew instantly they also felt what I felt just now. I turned around and walk back towards them, ignoring the pain I was feeling. I can’t let them go through it. They are too little to be feeling this much pain. I need to do something to stop them from feeling such
She finally showed how she was feeling and I understood at that moment what she meant.“Can I see her?” I asked her and diverted my eyes away from her and towards the operating room.“Yes, once she is cleaned and taken to the ward.”After hearing what she said, I ignored her and went back to my previous position. I could feel her looking at me and wanting to say more but right now, I’m not in the mood to hear anything from her.Right now all I could think of is my mate, and the more I think of how she is lying down there on the bed, helplessly, my anger towards Mother Increased.An hour later or so, she was finally pushed out of the operating room by several medical aids and into the room they had prepared for her. I walked towards them and maintained a close distance as I follow them to the room. I waited for them at the entrance to get her situated and when they were done attending to her; they all bowed at me and left the room one afte
I closed my eyes and waited for the brunt of his sword to descend on me while with the last hope in me; I reach out to the mother goddess for a last-minute miracle.After waiting for what felt like hours to feel the brunt of his sword against my skin, I opened my eyes gradually to see what has stopped him from doing so.Only to see him convulsing on the ground before me with blood gushing out of his ears, eyes, nose, mouth, literally every part of his body was bleeding, and within seconds, he bled out dried, and died. I was taken aback at the sudden change of event as I watched him dry up to bones in front of me. I hadn’t gotten out of my shock and confusion when I suddenly felt the presence of my mate beside me.I quickly turned to face her direction and just in time, saw her losing consciousness. I ran towards her and caught her before she could hit the floor.Not knowing what was going on and why she was here covered in blood, I tried to shake he
ZeidI braced myself for what was to come as I watch him gradually make his way towards me.It felt like hours before he got to where I was standing, whereas it was just a few seconds.I took a shaken step back when I finally saw who it was."Surprise!!!" he said with his hands spread out wide and a huge smile on his face."Un... Uncle Maxwell. Y... You are the mastermind behind this." I stammered in surprise."Hehehe, of course. Who else has the power to do so if not me? Besides Zeid, It is very obvious that someone with ability is the one behind it all. Besides, you had me thinking of how dumb you could be by not thinking outside the box to find out. I mean who else apart from the Royal families can display an ounce of ability. Considering the fact that I'm also a royal, you should have discovered me a long time ago. Tsk"He mocked.“But why would you think so? To you and my cousin, I was anything but a royal and hardly anyon
I quickly contemplated on what to do as the pain gradually set in. From the distance at which I saw them to the palace, it will take them approximately five to six hours to get here if I’m not mistaken. Therefore it gives the palace guards and the warriors enough time to prepare for their arrival if I contact my mate and inform him about it. After making up my mind, I open the mind link between my mate and me and informed him immediately but left behind the news of me going into labor so as not to distract him. Not long after I told him, all the warriors around the palace were summoned to prepare for the upcoming battle and the war bell was rung as a warning to everyone that we were under attack. While my mate opened a general mind link to all the pack members that the women that were not warriors, with all the children and the elderly were to retreat to the safe bunk immediately. Seeing that everywhere was in an uproar, I walked gradually into the cham
I let out a heave of disappointment as I thought she might know who it was.“Rest assured my dear, that even though we don’t know his identity and the length of what he is capable of doing, we have you to save everyone. You are destined to do so and you will succeed in doing so.” She assured me.“Yes, mother. That’s why I’ve come to seek your guidance.”“Alright child, enough talking. Let’s begin. Oh, before I forgot, I will summon Zeid to…”Hearing this, I panicked immediately because I didn’t want him to know about any of this, and interrupted her saying, “No mother, please don’t. I don’t want him to know about this.”She was slightly surprised at my outburst before shaking her head and saying, “Of course child, knowing how my son can be, I wouldn’t dare. The reason why I want to summon him was to tell him to move your coronation forward.
“What…what do you mean by that?” My mate asked him. His voice deepened in anger.“What I mean to say was that Lady Anya vanished into thin air immediately after the dungeon was attacked. No one knew how it happened because she didn’t escape through the entrance. We only knew of her disappearance when a guard went to check if any of the inmates escaped, and she happened to be the only one that did.But bro, what baffled me was that she escaped with her cell gate still intact. There was no forced entrance or damage to the door. It was also still locked when we got there after the guard came to report to us. It was as though she disappeared just like that. It doesn’t sound logical but that was what happened.” He explained to my mate.To say I was surprised by the turn of events would be a lie. I knew from the moment I heard that there was an attack at the dungeon, that this would be the result.My mate kept quiet fo
