Nathan:
Waking up the next morning couldn’t feel any better as I knew that now the mating bond between my mate and I was finally complete as it took a night long sleep for her body to be able to go through the changes, for our brains and thoughts to connect, and for us to feel one another’s feelings, whether they were of happiness, sadness, pain, or anger.
Kiara was still fast asleep in my arms, yesterday having been exhausting to her, both physically and emotionally, part of me even regretted telling her about what Celine meant to me, but I would’ve rather she heard it from me than anyone else, or from my thoughts which will now be connected to hers, we would even be able to be speaking to one another by telepathy, which would make things a whole lot easier when it came to situations of calming one another when getting into arguments with mother, which I knew were bound to happen, especially today since Kiara was going to be meeting my ex for the fir
Nathan:“Oh, tired of your little toy already? You know I could send you a better satisfaction, one who could hold herself a lot more than the little human” mother mocked when Grace, Ashton, and I entered the dining room, Elijah stayed behind in my chamber by Kiara.Ashton took a sharp breath and Grace held his hand, intertwining their fingers, stopping him from whatever outburst he was going to have at that very second, knowing that mother would hold it against him if he does, and that was the last thing we now needed.“She’s resting as she’s a little ill mother, and I do appreciate you stop insulting her” I said looking mother in the eye, my gaze hard meeting hers which was something that she never saw toward her from my side.“Well, considering she said nothing wrong Prince Nathan, she is a weak human after all, how would she be able to hold herself in the arms of an Alpha like yourself” the familiar soft
Kiara:“Elijah!” I whined at my big brother who was not allowing me to get out of bed unless it was to go to the bathroom.“No”“Please”“No, your fever is still high, you are not getting out bed princess” Elijah said and I rolled my eyes crossing my arms over my chest as I looked at him, the blanket covering my legs.“I’m literally just going to the couch Elijah, come on, I know I’m on bedrest, but this is too literal” I said snapping at the hybrid who rolled his eyes on me, using his magic to pull the blanket to cover my head.“ELIJAH!”“Yes, baby sister?”“Get this stupid thing off my head!” I snapped at him, and I could practically see him rolling his eyes on me, I couldn’t get the thing off myself because of HIS magic.“No”“Elijah” I said in a warning tone.“Y
Nathan:“Nathan…”“Don’t Kiara, just don’t” I said pacing around the chamber, my mind in rage at my mother, she had been here for less than a week and here I was planning on leaving.I walked out to the veranda feeling like I was suffocating when I was inside the chamber, the walls closing in on me only to feel my mate’s hand on my back, her lips softly touching between my shoulder blades.“Breathe Nathan, deep slow breaths” Kiara whispered softly, my wolf calming at the sound of her voice, I took a deep breath trying to calm myself for her sake, knowing that it was my anger talking right now, I knew that it was because I was used to being at peace on my own, the only tension that I had to deal with was the few hours I argued with father, therefor, this tension was something that I did NOT want to handle an especially not with mother, not when I was the one who fought to have her here by my side
Kiara:I swear convincing Elijah to let me get out of bed, let alone the chamber was like trying to move a pyramid.“You shouldn’t have been out of bed Kiara” he reminded for the millionth time since we left the castle.“If I didn’t get out of bed, then Nina wouldn’t be invited to the ball, and YOU would not have the chance to properly win her over” I said rolling my eyes as we walked toward the compound, it was true, I was still exhausted and my fever was nowhere near being low, even Nathan and Ashton had their doubts about me leaving the chamber, but after convincing Elijah, the other two princes were easily convinced.“That is the only reason I allowed you getting out of bed anyway, believe me, I would take you back to the palace should I see that your fever is rising more than it is right now, and I’ll manage to find a way to ‘win’ Nina myself” Elijah rolled his eyes making me lau
Nathan:“I’m yet to see you with your mate anywhere in the castle” Celine commented as we all walked out of the dining room, I rolled my eyes and stopped my tracks turning to face her.“I apologize greeting you myself, but as you’ve probably heard, I’ve been a little ill” I heard Kiara’s voice from behind me, I smirked and turned around to face my mate who had just arrived with Elijah, I wrapped my arm around Kiara and kissed her forehead, nodding at Elijah who returned the gesture.“Hello baby” I smiled.“Hi love” Kiara stood on her toes to kiss my cheek, feeling Celine’s eyes on us as she looked Kiara up and down, stopping at her neck when she noticed my canine’s mark she tensed.“How are you feeling?” I asked Kiara putting a hand on her neck checking her fever to find that it had dropped.“I’m fine, Nina rubbed an ointment to drop t
Kiara:The ball day couldn’t come quick enough, and I was now inside my and Nathan’s chamber getting dressed, Diana helping me wear my dress.The cut sleeved royal blue dress exposed my chest, revealing the line of my breasts slightly and my back, it was tight around my waist drawing my curves and loose around my hips, covering my feet as I walked being elegant and beautiful, I had wanted to cover the mark on my neck, but Nathan had insisted that I don’t, wanting everyone to see that I was his.My hair was already done, the curls were done nearly as a tiara rested on the crown of my head, a gift from King Ned for completing the mating with his son and officially being his, it turns out that completing a mating was a big thing in the wolf kingdom, something that was respected, even by the king, especially when it was his eldest son who had completed it.The door of the chamber was opened revealing a smiling Nathan, Diana stepped away from
Kiara:“We finally found someone that likes you in the kingdom, but then again she is of your same rank” Celine stated when she saw Nina and I.“I’m guessing this is bitch face” Nina stated causing Elijah to almost choke on his own saliva, he coughed as he tried to cover his laughter, Nathan chuckled tightening his arms around my waist not wanting me to speak, clearly enjoying Nina.“Hmm, classy” Celine rolled her eyes walking away from us, Nina smirked as she watched her, I raised an eyebrow at the girl who battered her eyelashes at me in an innocent manner.“I may be wearing a dress Kia, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll be changing my ways” Nina told me making me smile and loop my arm around hers as Nathan let me go when the queen and king approached us, Nathan kneeled down and kissed his father’s hand then hugged his mother who smiled at him, despite her not accepting me that much,
Nathan:“You are going to pay for this Celine” I whispered to the witch as we danced, she smiled in satisfaction running her finger on the back of my neck knowing that it was a feeling that I liked when we were younger, however now, it caused me to shudder wanting to break that finger with every passing second.“Oh, my dear Nathan, I have done nothing wrong, all we are doing is dancing, is that not allowed too? Or are you worried about your little princess being jealous, I’m sure she’ll understand the difference between me and her, especially when it comes to events like this one” Celine asked raising an amused eyebrow, I glared at her and pushed her arms away from me, an uneasy feeling settling in my chest, and it wasn’t because of the insult she just made, that was something she was to pay for later, but a feeling that something had happened had me looking around the room, Celine attempted to wrap her arms around me again but
They watched as the kings and queens smiled upon entering their kingdom, smiles were drawn on the people’s faces, they were greeting the kings and queens with pride and happiness, excited to be back to their old ways, their comfortable ways.“They will pay” Queen Beatrice said glaring at her husband, King Alexander raised an eyebrow at her as she turned to face him, her eyes wide in rage, she has been yelling at him for hours now, the king was furious with her. But he was containing himself as he tried to process what had happened, the loss he had.“You had failed me, I should have never listened to you, I could have been living as a queen with Ned, I lost my husband, my children, now, my throne and people, what else am I going to lose because of you?” Queen Beatrice asked angrily, her eyes wide in rage, she stood and slapped the king who stayed quiet as he looked at her, the vision of his son challenging him, telling him that he didn&rsqu
Kiara:“I’m surprised that you two have come, even after the loss of your daughter” King Alexander mocked, Nathan had managed to find Delilah inside the vampire’s palace, however, it broke him to see her dead on the ground when he reached her. Her mother having been the one who had killed her, her canines dug deep in the young girl’s neck, and her heart pulled out of her chest. Queen Beatrice was by her husband’s side, her head held high as we all stood in front of one another, ready for battle.“King Alexander, I do recommend that you do not tempt me to break the rules and kill you here and now, before the battle even begins” Nathan said angrily, both of us were at loss and were still in a weak state after having lost Lilian, I couldn’t understand how Queen Beatrice was still managing to remain strong after losing both her mate and daughter, both of them killed by her doing or her order.“I do suggest
Nathan:“Why does this keep happening Nathan?” Kiara asked crying, she was laying in my arms, we had buried Lilian a few days ago. Her heartbeat was weak and I could feel her pain. I was in as much as pain, we had lost our daughter. Her curly hair was wet after just taking a bath. Her body was stagnant as Diana scrubbed her body clean, softly scrubbing her body with soap and rinsing it, it was the time when I was able to cry. I knew that I had to stay strong for my mate, despite feeling her pain and her feeling mine, I couldn’t show it to her.“She’s a little bird in heaven baby girl” I whispered to her. Tightening my arms around her waist and pulling her to my chest. My own tears fell from my eyes but I was doing my best not to show Kiara how hurt I was. Though I knew that she could read my mind and was well aware of my pain and tears, I wanted to be her strength, the weakness she was in, the pain that we were both in, burying our l
Kiara:I rocked Lilian who was being restless, she had been crying for almost an hour now, and nothing I was doing seemed to calm her down.“Baby girl, come on, rest for me” I said softly, kissing her temple. Nathan was somewhere out of the forest, planning on how they would be getting Delilah back, I was intrigued about having her back I had to admit. But I knew one thing, I couldn’t allow her to be in the same place as that bastard excuse of a king, he would kill her in an instant, if not kill, then he would torture her making her wish that she was dead. And no matter what she had done to me, no person was supposed to feel the pain the king inflicted when he was angered, and I was not a cold-hearted person to want that on any person.“She still hasn’t calmed down?” Nina asked entering the room with a small bottle in her hand, I shook my head. I couldn’t even understand why she’s been crying. She has been fed, cha
Nathan:“Your grace, the king has agreed to get into war” my messenger said entering the forest, Kiara and I were both sitting by one another’s side. Her head laying on my shoulder as we watched the bonfire at night, our hands in one another’s, our fingers intertwined, the beautiful breeze hitting the two of us.“Have you seen Princess Delilah?” I asked, the messenger shook his head and looked down at his feet, I could hear the man’s heart race as he seemed to worry about speaking of something, a habit I noticed most of my servants had when wanting to tell me something that might anger me.“I have heard from your guard Blake, the princess has been locked for almost a month now, she hasn’t been let out of the tower, the queen isn’t even allowed to see her” the messenger answered. Kiara tensed and my eyes widened, Kiara pulled away from me and I stood up and walked toward the messenger who avoided m
Third Person Point of View:“What is the meaning of this?” King Alexander snapped, standing on his feet from the throne as he received the war letter from Prince Nathan “you idiot of a son, is challenging us, to war?”“What?” Queen Beatrice asked with wide eyes. They had not heard from the prince in months, after Mason had died, all possible spies have feared approaching seeing the body of the second beta as he left that house. Even when the king did try and put another spy, no one refused to be by his side. That only angered him with Delilah who was now locked in the tower despite her mother’s pleads. It turns out, the king did not keep his promise to the queen about trying to build a family. At least not toward the young princess, he kept his part toward the queen. Giving her a chance to prove herself, and loving her through it.“Nathan has lost his mind” the queen said taking the note from her husband and
Kiara:“Are you sure about this Kiara?” Ashton asked standing beside his little sister, she nodded to him and gave him an assuring smile. Her Ashton, Elijah, Nathan, Nina, and Grace were standing by the riverbank, waiting for King Deniz.“Would he even come?” Grace asked looking at the water.“Yes, he will, I have sent him word myself” Queen Alaura said from behind the princes and princesses, startling them. They turned around to face her, all of them bowing and she nodded smiling at them “I was aware of you planning on seeing him, I know that you want to speak to him, and he is coming for you”“Thank you, Queen Alaura” I said smiling, the queen nodded at me and looked Nathan, with a smile on her face.“You have grown child” Queen Alaura told my mate who wrapped an arm around my waist, he hadn’t grown, he had lost a glow in his eyes. I knew that it was because everything
Nathan:My chest ached as I thought of what my mate had said.Despite me assuring her that I was doing everything for her, I hated the fact that she didn’t see that. I knew that she was worried about me, I knew that she didn’t want my heart to darken. But she didn’t realize how much her words had hurt me.I walked toward the house where Mason was kept with a heavy heart, what I had been doing to him killed me more than it helped me. I couldn’t admit it to anyone, not even to my mate, but I was hurting. Being betrayed by my second beta, a man who I trusted, who I considered as one of my closest friends, it killed me.Walking inside the house, I looked at Mason who was sitting on the chair, his head sagged as he looked down at his lap, his body exhausted. I cleared my throat snapping him out of whatever daze he was in, he had been like that for a while, his body would jerk at the sound of my voice, or my scent. I knew that he was fri
Kiara:“Nathan, that is enough” I told my mate, it had been a month with Mason here, he’s been locked up in this house. Which now had blood on literally all its walls. Nathan had made sure to make him suffer, he made him cry for days, begging to end his life, but my mate wouldn’t allow it. He would heal him, he would let the pack doctors treat him, he’d force him to eat, then he’d repeat the process all over again.“Kiara, I told you do not interfere” Nathan said looking at me, I was stopping him from entering the house, the man had suffered enough, whatever he had committed, he was punished for it. I knew that Nathan was still determined in making him suffer, but I didn’t like this. This wasn’t my mate.“No, you are not going to enter that house Nathan, that is enough. Mason took his punishment, you have caused him enough pain, just stop” I said looking my mate in the eye. His eyes widened
