Kiara:
I laid my head on Nathan’s chest as he slowly ran his finger over my lower back, the action was one he knew calmed me down, he had taken off his shirt a while ago and was now laying on bed with me.
“You don’t want to go back to the ball?” I asked Nathan who kissed the crown of my head, tightening his arms around me, his heartbeat calm as his chest slowly rose and fell with every breath he took, his wolf purring in delight, the feeling of his mate by his side making him go at ease.
“No, the ball doesn’t matter, we did what we needed to do, Nina and Elijah are with one another, Ashton and Grace probably left ages ago anyway, Grace doesn’t like balls like this, and mother knowing that she had annoyed me wouldn’t be wondering where we are” Nathan said softly, I ran my finger over his chest drawing random patterns on it, softly letting my nails scratch him though, careful not to hurt him as I did.

Nathan:I smiled when we entered the enchanted forest, it being the first time my mate has ever been here, and knowing that she would love it has it was the one place almost everyone in the kingdom wanted to be in, yet no one technically knew that it was MY territory, not even father.“The enchanted forest is our packhouse my love” I told Kiara who was staring at everything in amazement, the water dolphins were dancing around the carriage greeting us, Daniel, being from my pack, was the one who was bringing us here, and soon, even Grace, Nina, Ashton, and Elijah would be joining us, but for now, I wanted Kiara to be able to see it with me.“How?” Kiara asked turning her attention from the dolphins making me smile and remove a strand of her hair which fell on her face, tucking it behind her ear, she blushed making me chuckle at her innocence.“Let’s just say that it was a gift to me, when I left father’s pack, and
Kiara:I walked through the forest, my eyes widening at the sight of all the beauty I saw, I kneeled down to touch a red rose petal only to be startled by a growl, and one which did not come from Nathan.The growl was followed by a whimper and I frowned when I saw Nathan standing, his hand raised above his head, fisted as he glared at the white wolf who had growled.“Alpha” a shirtless man walked toward us, I took a step back and was stopped when I bumped into Nathan, his arm wrapped around my waist in a protective manner as he looked at the lad who approached us, noticing that Nathan was holding me, the man took a step back and lowered his gaze to the ground.“I apologize Alpha, we weren’t aware that she was with you” the guy said avoiding my and Nathan’s eyes, the wolf who had growled whimpered and taking the courage, I moved away from Nathan’s arms and walked toward it, slowly getting on one knee, and extending
Nathan:My eyes widened at the sight of the King of the Sea, in the enchanted forest.In the five years I’ve been here, the king has NEVER made himself visible for any of us to see, though I sometimes knew that he paid his sister a visit, he never bothered show himself to us, he never needed to.“King Deniz” I bowed lowering my head, knowing the consequence of challenging a king like himself, it was worse than choosing death, the nature kings and queens, even Queen Alaura, who was the nicest and kindest of them all, was known to be vicious when disrespected, my heart raced as I looked at my mate who was now probably having a mental battle of her own after seeing her father, the man who she had never seen in her life, standing in front of her.“You have taken well care of my daughter, Prince Nathan” he said softly, I rose and wrapped my arm around my mate who instinctively leaned into my touch, hiding in my embrace from the ki
Kiara:“What have you found out? Maybe I can help you…” Queen Beatrice asked smiling at us, I felt the blood drain from my face as I looked at the woman who could have been betraying her mate and kingdom, the way she stood there speaking to her son so calmly, the possibility that she was innocent was there, but why would the King of the Sea be lying about a matter like this one? Especially to the prince about his mother.“Nothing mother, it concerns my mate and I, don’t worry your head about it” Nathan said softly, looking her in the eye, he slowly cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead before taking my hand in his and pulling me inside with him, the queen raised an eyebrow at us but didn’t comment on what Nathan said.“Nathan?” I whispered, but he didn’t answer as we both walked toward our chamber, his eyes fixed in front of him as he had a mental battle of his own, knowing that he was being forced
It had been years since the prince had found his mate, and he had to admit that he was the happiest he’s ever been, his princess had given him more contentment and love than he’d ever thought possible.“Love” Nathan smiled at Kiara who was cradling their baby beside the child’s crib, sitting on the chair beside it, despite the prince and his princess being together for five years, they weren’t in a rush about having their first child and were always cautious whenever being intimate, but after they got married a year ago, they both decided that they were ready to become parents and they were lucky to have their first daughter, Lilian, a few months ago.“Morning” Kiara smiled at her husband and mate who just woke up, she had been awake for an hour already, Lilian needed to be fed and decided that it was a proper time to start crying, when the sun started rising and Kiara didn’t want to wake Nathan as he had stayed up
Nathan:“Where is my beautiful niece?” Elijah asked taking Lilian from Kiara who giggled being excited to see her uncle, Kiara laughed and kissed her brother’s cheek before hugging Nina who was standing beside her husband, their twin son and daughter standing beside her, they were now almost three years old.I kneeled down and kissed Jasmine then Jasper who laughed when my scruff tickled his cheek, I lifted him in my arms as Kiara carried Jasmine in hers, hugging her and kissing her forehead.“No love for us?” Ashton asked entering the dining room, opening his arms for his niece who Kiara had put down to run into her uncle’s arms before Grace hugged Kiara, I put Jasper down cupping my beautiful sister’s cheeks and kissing her forehead, Ashton wrapped his arms around Kiara hugging her tightly.I hugged both Elijah and Ashton after Grace took Lilian in her arms “where is Mayla?” I asked only to feel my p
Kiara:“Don’t worry darling, no one will know of this conversation” I told the old woman as I left her house, it was one of the many houses that were afraid of King Ned, the werewolf king, finding out about our conversation with them, I couldn’t blame them, the last time the king found out about his people seeking for his son’s help, they paid the price with their lives, or their loved ones lives, they didn’t want to go through that pain again, and I couldn’t force them to, but they needed help, and us knowing what they needed was the only way we could provide it.“Princess, it’s getting dark, we need to head back before anyone sees you roaming the street at night, you know how it is when women walk around at night in these kingdoms” Daniel said looking at me, I nodded as he was indeed right, it had been two years since this land lost its safety, the people were no longer safe to walk around or speak as they p
Nathan:“WHERE ARE THEY?” We heard yelling in the castle, I looked at the princes who all frowned in confusion, motioning for the girls to remain seated as me, Ashton, Elijah, and Sebastian stood up to face my father who stormed into the throne room, rage drawn on his face.“Who the bloody hell do you think you are?” King Alexander, who walked inside behind father followed by King Louis, all of them having the same anger in their eyes.“Great, all we’re missing is King Midas, and we’ll have a battle between the kings and their children” Elijah commented sarcastically “we should be asking you what the hell do you think you’re doing? And how dare you barge into our place the way you did?”“Do not forget your limit Elijah” King Alexander warned.“I do believe that you are forgetting your limits, your majesties, this is a home, and none of you have the right to storm in
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
