I will definitely make sure it's soon and not later. 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.""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 and said, "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 question my authority, you will receive more than a slap from me you filthy f
MATURE CONTENT BELOW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.I 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. They 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 rubbed his hands up and down my back, trying to console me. I grab his shirt and curl 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 realized the position we are in. Panicked, I tried to scurry away from him. "Uhm. Sorry about that, my prince." Before I could ge
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 tried to catch our breath. My fingers fondled his hair as he lay there trying to catch his breath.He placed his weight on his hands as he pushed 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 felt him getting hard on 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 changed our position, with him lying on his back and me on top of him, straddling him. At first, I didn't know what to do in this position as I squirmed about him. He placed his hands on my waist to direct me on what to do. After a few moves, I got the hang o
"That's why I'm here." A voice said from behind me. I turn to see Princess Alexa...I mean...Alexa sauntered in and walked to my bed before throwing herself on it. I mean, she threw herself literally on it. Raising a brow at her action, "What do you mean?" "Oh, I mean, you and I are stuck together for most of the day before your prince charming comes to take you away for lunch." She lay on her back and spread her hands and legs wide like that of a butterfly. I never thought the Princess of the Werewolves would be so humble. "Oh..." I became skeptical about this. From what I've heard about her, she is one wild goose."Yep. So I'm giving you ten minutes to get ready. We are going shopping... yeah," she said, clapping her hands in excitement. "O...k... Wait...what...shopping?" "Yes, shopping. We are going shopping for you," she said in a 'duh' kind of way. "B...but I don't need anything." I can't remember needing anything, and besides, I don't plan on staying for long. Despite w
"Oh, what a pity. I don't have the liberty to entertain you today as I will be spending the whole of today with my sister-in-law," Alexa responded exaggeratedly.I snorted at that. Wait...what? What did I just hear Alexa say? I hope and pray that she does not mean that in the literal aspect of it, and she was just saying it to ward her off. I definitely know I can't survive spending the whole day shopping. Besides, don't I have lunch with Zeid? Or has she forgotten that? I look at her and conclude she was just saying it to turn Lady Anya down and not the literal words it represents. Right? Yes definitely.Hearing me snort at her, Lady Anya gave me a quick over, trying so hard to hide her disgust at me from appearing on her facial expression before she focused back on Alexa."Oh...is that so? Can I have the privilege of joining you both then?" "No, you can't. Lady Anya I don't mean to sound rude, but your joining would mess up the day for princess Ashley here since you don't seem to
"Ashley, ignore her attitude towards you. With time, she will have no choice but to come to terms that you are Zeid's mate and not her. Smiling, I nod in response.We were driven to one of the biggest malls I've ever seen. Lots of designer brands were located there, if not all. Imagine seeing almost all the designer brands worldwide in one place. Now imagine how filled it will be with people. Good. Apart from that, there were lots of restaurants there. Recreational centers were also located in the mall.The mall was more or less a tourist attraction center. Foreigners from different parts of the world were seen there.Alexa took me shopping in almost all the shops we came across, enjoying every bit of it while I grudgingly followed her about. This went on for hours. At some point, we stoppedped for brunch, and when we were done, we continued shopping."Alexa, can we call it a day? I'm so tired that I can't go shopping." I was so tired from all the walking and changing of clothes after
"Do you miss me?"*Ough ough* I coughed out, as I wasn't expecting him to say this."I..." I was lost in words to say to him."Do you miss me because I miss you from the minute I left your side this morning?" He continues"Z...zeid""Well, continue with your shopping We'll talk more when we see soon Just have it in mind that you are always on my mind.""Hmmm." I couldn't hide the flush that appeared on my face as he cut the call. I pass the phone back to Alexa, who was giving me a knowing look.Winking at me, "Can we go get the phone before we return to the palace; otherwise, your lovestruck Mate is going to have my head if we don't get back in an hour to two hours, and sweetheart, I still live and cherish my beautiful head." Giving her a look, " who's fault is it that we stayed this long?""Yah, yah, I know it's my fault; you don't need to rub it in. Can we get going now, madame?" She drags me along the way to the phone hub to get me a mobile phone. I shake my head at her, as I hav
We were on our way to the palace when suddenly the bodyguard in front of us, whose name I later got to know is Josh, was contacted by Ryan, one of the bodyguards in the other vehicle that we were being followed. The other guy's name is Jay.I could hear this due to my heightened hearing despite how discrete he was trying to be so as not to alert us, and I also saw him signal the driver to drive faster as we were outnumbered and wouldn't be able to fight them back for long.Immediately, I veered around to see what was going on and saw five black cars coming at us at full speed. "Have you called for backup?" He asked as he observed that the cars were catching up with us. He told the driver to increase the speed of the car. "D**m I don't think we can outrun them for long, but let's try to lose them till we can get reinforcements from the palace." Remember, our main priority is the safety of the princesses." He said over the phone to Ryan.Due to the sudden increase in speed, Alexa got
"I know that I just sounded presumptuous, but I truly care about you, and I can't; I won't be able to make amends if I'm not allowed to. I just want the chance to prove it. If not to your mother, then to you. I know that trying to do so with your mother is quite late, but if you can let me, I want to do so to you. I want to make things right between us. I know it will take time to earn your trust, but I am willing to do whatever it takes," he continued. "Please forgive me for my mistakes." He held my hands in his while looking me straight in the eyes to show his sincerity and regret.I returned his gaze and smiled sadly at him before pulling my hands away. Though I now know what had happened and understand his perspective, I cannot bring myself to forgive him.Because of what he did, I grew up in a living hell. My relatives and pack members bullied, isolated, and discriminated against me all because I was the result of his actions against my mother. The pain and trauma I endured becau
At my question, he looked away, unable to meet my eyes. After a lengthy silence, he finally sighed and softly whispered, "That night, I was not myself. It was the red blood moon night, and I couldn't control my actions. On every red blood moon night, every creature that was yet to have a partner in our kingdom was unable to control their transformation and urge to copulate with the opposite gender. Hence any creature that was still single on this night would find themselves in a precarious situation. For those with royal blood, the situation was even more dire. The urge and lack of control were ten times stronger than the average changeling. We can hardly control ourselves, and most times, we tend to isolate ourselves completely from others to avoid any potential harm or consequences." He said with a heavy heart before walking the short distance to the window and staring blankly into the distance."That day I had been away on a trip that needed my very presence. It was one that I coul
"What? My father?" I looked at the 'young' handsome man in front of me in disbelief.He was claiming to be my long-lost father, a fact that seemed impossible to comprehend.I mean, how could someone this young be my father? He looked so young that he could easily be mistaken for my older brother.He was fair, almost pale white. His unfathomable, golden-brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light-toned face. His chestnut-colored hair pulled back into a neat ponytail; he truly was the epitome of elegance and grace. He had a certain air of wisdom and maturity that was beyond his looks, making it even more perplexing to accept the fact that he was my father.With his cheekbones and piercing golden brown eyes, he certainly had the same striking features as me, making it difficult to deny that we were related.However, that wasn't the thing that got me perplexed. It was his status as king that got to me the most."Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that you are my father and also the
Unknown POVKnock, knock, knock.The knocking on the door disrupted the activity that was going on behind the closed door, and a series of frustrated curse words came gushing out of the mouths of those occupying the room."Greetings, my Lord. May I come in?" A man in a combination of black clothes with an eye patch on his left eye, with silky long black hair tied together at the nape of his neck, said towards the door to the man in the room."Didn't I mention it earlier that I'm not to be disturbed? Why do you think that you could disobey my orders?""A-apologies, my Lord, I came bearing news of great importance that could no longer wait for a moment." The man standing outside the room stammered."What is so urgent that it couldn't wait until morning and had to trouble me on it?"The man's disgruntled voice grunted out between groans of pleasure as the owner kept pounding the female bent before him with urgency. The sound of flesh hitting flesh increased drastically along with the wai
"Yes, we are changelings. We can change our appearance at will, blending seamlessly into any environment or society. We are a rare breed, feared and misunderstood by many. But to those who truly know us, we are loyal and protective friends."Hmm, loyal and protective indeed.With a sly smile, he added. "For thousands of years, we have stayed hidden, isolated ourselves from the rest of the world, until recently. There are those who no longer like the way we keep to ourselves and want to let the world know of our existence. It's probably one of them that you encountered before me and that tried to harm you. The reason behind that attack is unknown to us, but rest assured, I will protect you from anyone who tries to harm you and also find out who has done such a thing and the reason behind it. I will get to the bottom of it. But for now, this is all I can tell you. I will leave the rest to your father to explain to you when he comes to see you."The whole information about their being wa
"What do you mean by that?" I was confused by his words.Why is it his duty to protect me?"Protecting you is my sole purpose," the mysterious figure replied with a calm and reassuring smile. "I was privileged to be appointed by your father to protect you at all costs."Perplexed, I repeated questioningly, "My father?" I wasn't sure if I heard him correctly.Growing up, all I heard about him was that he was a beast that had forced himself on my mother and had his way with her. I never imagined that, apart from hearing about my father in the same sentence as a monster, I would hear about him in a different sentence entirely different from the ones I had grown up with. I had no idea if he was even dead or alive, or who he was or even looked like. There was nothing to tell me anything about him. The word father to me was more like a passing word that was used to insult me when needed."Yes, your father. He is very much alive, and he sent me to look for you and protect you as soon as he go
I quickly walked toward the door and hoped it wasn't locked, but my hope was dampened when I tried the handle and found it wouldn't budge. I became more anxious as I realized that escaping was going to be much more difficult than I had anticipated.What to do?What to do?I searched around the room to see if there was another way out.The window.I quickly darted toward it and checked if it was unlocked.To my joy, it was.However, that joy was short-lived because, as soon as I pushed it open, I realized that it was way high above the ground, and attempting to climb out would be extremely dangerous.To be precise, the room I was placed in was at the top of a tall tower. I was trapped.No wonder they hadn't bothered sealing the window shut. It was impossible to escape.Feeling extreme despair, I collapsed onto the cold stone floor and held my head with both hands. A sense of hopelessness washed over me as I realized there was no way out.I stayed that way for a while, only to hear a wiz
"Hehe, I didn't think it would be this easy after everything that had happened so far," another male voice said."Of course it is. That was why I told you guys to let me do it since no one would suspect me and I have the closest access to her." I heard Agatha's voice say, surprising me. I didn't expect her to be involved in this. I never for once thought she was involved in the whole thing."Yeah, let's get out of here before they notice her absence and come searching for her," the first male said."As if they would. No one cares about her that much, especially not her so called mate." With a smirk laced to his voice, the second male replied."Let's just get out of here before they notice her absence for too long. "Before they realize she's missing and start looking for her," another voice said, and I felt my body being lifted and moved right before I completely lost consciousness.Prince Dante's POVI know I've not been the best mate to her, but I needed to keep my distance from her
By the time I finished taking my shower and came out of the bathroom, the prince had gone, with no sign of him ever being there in the first place. I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and longing. I had thought that since he had taken the time to come to the room today, we would have had a chance to finally talk and get to know each other better. But now, it seemed like that opportunity had slipped away.Talk of someone who goes and comes as he wishes, it was clear that he had no intention of working on our mate bond—at least not now.It was quite disappointing, but who was I to blame if not me? I could understand his unwillingness to complete the mating bond between us.After all, I was the one who worked as a spy for the enemy and is still being suspected of working for the enemy, no matter how subtle they seem not to show their suspicions towards me.I let out a deep breath and went about doing my usual routine for the day.By evening, the dress finally came from the
