I put my hands against his shoulders as he continued to close the distance between us, his chest just almost touching mine.He teased my neck with a gentle kiss and a moan escaped my lips without holding back. He traced his hands towards, attempting to lift my gown when I stopped him. I could tell he was so hard and wanted to get off but I couldn't bring myself to. "Why? Are you scared?" He said, immediately taking notes of my reluctance. "Not necessarily," I sighed , "I just really want my first time to be special and with my marked mate if anything.""In the matter of a few days you're going to mark someone else and eventually I'll have to be mated to somebody else or choose a mate for myself, I'm waiting till that time comes." I immediately noticed the disappointments in his expression but he nodded in understanding. That kind of hurt my feelings i would hope that he would argue and let me know that he was my only mate.He took me by surprise when he put one hand around me, slee
I followed quietly behind him not caring about all the eyes that followed our movement.All I was scared of was what he would do to me, I knew that he had gotten defensive because Theo was being touchy, he was only hiding under the skin of us not fighting when we should have been.A part of me assumed that alpha wouldn't hurt me but I was still scared.We stopped once he got to a small enclosed room.I immediately started talking once I saw that we were alone, "I'm sorry alpha, I swear he wasn't doing anything to me, it's all a misunderstanding, all I wanted was some...""You're enjoying being so touchy with other people for someone that wants to keep themselves for their mate." The calmness as he spoke caught me by surprise."It's not like that alpha I promise."I sighed and raised my eyebrows sadly at him, "what are you going to do to me alpha?""What should I do with you?" He put his hands behind his neck. "I don't know." I sighed. "Are you really going to keep him locked up? He di
Soon as I walked out of there, I took my crown off and handed it to my guard."Make sure everyone finds her, leave no corner of the palace untouched," I ordered."Yes your majesty," they chorused.Locks appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of me, " is there a problem your majesty you walked out of the throne room?"He tried to keep up with the pace at which I was walking."This is important I've asked my guards to get on it but send some of your men out to look for her."Locks seemed like the most confused person on earth, "but your majesty this is an important meeting you cannot cancel it all because you're looking for an Omega." After noticing the glare I shot at him he immediately bowed his head, "your majesty you can go back to the meeting room i'll take care of things from here."I stopped walking and touched his shoulders, "if you really want to take care of things, handle the meeting, I'll be back."Kira's povAfter what alpha did to me at the enclosed room, Walking felt
The sound of his voice caused me to flinch. I stared blankly at him, unable to find my voice. "You can let go now." I finally summoned the courage to say. He set me on my feet and placed his hands behind him, "are you okay?"I nodded Still unsure of what had happened while I was trying to recover from the shock of almost falling to my death."You seem like you didn't know what you were doing back there. Were you trying to escape?""No," I lied. From what I could tell he looked like he was an higher ranking wolf there was something very familiar about him but I could not point it out. "That's okay, if I had to serve in this palace I would do the same.""Thank you for saving me," I bowed my head in acknowledgment.I spun around on my heels to leave before he would grow the conversation. There was nobody else here, the guards were not necessarily patrolling the garden and and there was no telling what he could do and from what I'd seen from the men in the past, it was much better to avo
I could feel the tension and I didn't need anyone to tell me that the king hated his brother who I now identified to be Fred. I pulled free from Alpha's hold, hastened my steps out of there before I got pulled in between the tension. I didn't know what I was supposed to do now that I had a bath with him. I went straight to Melanie’s room, hoping that she was awake already. I knocked on the door and one of her roommates opened up. I got in and saw her sitting on her bed getting dressed to start work in the palace. “What brings you here so early in the morning?” “I just wanted to talk to you.” “Okay?” She led me to a portion of her bed and pointed that I sat down. “Did you know the king had another brother?” She lowered her voice, “my goodness, is it true that he's in the palace?” “Why is that a bad thing?” I kept my voice in a whisper as well. I was unaware in any way that the king had another brother apart from Lord Arthur. “Well yeah, he's the King's brother, but he was bi
He went into one of the rooms and set me on the bed. I saw him from the corner of my eyes, pulling drawers open and mixing ointments together. I tried to stay conscious because I didn't know if I could trust this man.I sat up when he approached me, moving away from him like he was poisonous."Why did you save me?" I asked in a low voice.He didn't look up at me, mixing the concoction that was in his hands. "Well, you're welcome.""Let me apply this on you; it will help you heal up fast.""I'd have to take my gown off. I'm sorry, my Lord, but I can't."A part of me was sharing the grudge that Alpha held against him. I didn't know why, but if he was able to make the king angry enough to leave the palace without his entourage, then there must be something wrong with him.He raised one eyebrow at me."The King will heal me when he's back.""And how do you plan on telling him what happened?""I'll be fine, my Lord.""Well, just in case, you can take this with you," he said, placing the sma
The king immediately pulled me behind him, not letting go of my hand, "you have now completely lost your mind, what kind of a demand is that?"Fred broke out into a smirk, "I don't see what you mean brother, I mean it's just an omega, what do you mean by 'demand', I'm barely even giving you an… this is as good as not requesting for anything, I wouldn't think that you'd want to ponder over this.""You're asking for a whole person?""In exchange for the throne, and mind you, it's a servant at that, what's there to think about?""You can't take one of my people.""Not even in exchange for the throne?" He raised one eyebrow at the king. I could easily see the look of shock on the faces of those surrounding us, without even having to look at them."You can take any other servant you want," the king said, his voice concealed his emotions. I knew there was no reason for me to be happy about what was happening but Mel was almost wagging her tail to see how hard it was for the king to let go."
I could feel the pain from the mating bond, but at the same time I could feel the shock on everyone's faces.I held my neck, breathing hard. It felt like the world was collapsing in my presence.I was going to fall the ground when I fell into someone's arms."I'm right here." I heard his voice call to me, it felt like he was calling from a distance."Alpha…" I called, my voice was fading into the background. The world around me was blurring and his voice was echoing off.The murmurs, the connection to the pack as my wolf was becoming Luna was too much to bear, all of a sudden, everything around me was consumed by darkness.**I woke up with a slight headache, I sat up a little too fast and tried to get to my feet, I immediately regretted the decision because I lost my balance. I flinched in fear as a door came open. It was alpha."What are you doing? Lay back down." His voice was calm and his face was void of emotions. I looked around and realised the moon was up."What happened?"'W
IThe king finally set me to my feet. After a long time of arguing, it felt like we had been walking for miles and miles. I completely lost my senses at one point, but I kept going because I was the one who insisted on coming here. We got to a cave, and it was huge. It was hidden in the mountains, and it could take all the warriors that were present. They only created a separate space for Alpha because he was the king and did not want to share all the space with everyone. He held my hand."What do you think you're doing?" he raised one eyebrow at me. "I'm going to settle in with everyone. I guess we all need to sleep before the big battle tomorrow." I shrugged at him. "Have you lost your mind?" He took me, pulling me closer to him. "Why would you sleep with all these men around? Come on, you're going to stay in the same cave as me.""But do you think that is disrespectful? I'm not your maid or anything. Everyone would get upset.""Nobody's getting upset, trust me.

I remembered her name. Instantly, I knew that she was his previous mate, he had never fully told me the story of how she passed away. And so, I furrowed my eyebrows together, staring at him with a lot of confusion. "What do you mean, Libianca?"He suddenly bowed his head as if the memory of a person was taunting him. “It was like a situation like this too. We were going on war. She was a warrior this entire time. I knew that I should not have asked her to come on that journey, and I knew that she was not strong enough. But my selfishness, because I couldn't stay away from her for even a second. Was the reason why I convinced her to come to the war and I lost her, I'm not about to do that with you too. You're too weak for this kind of work. I'm telling you that I might not even survive. And you think that I will let you come along? What about the children?"“I already spoke to Locks about it and he's willing to take care of them under his protection.”"What.""Yes, that is how determin
The next morning, I was awake before it was even five in the morning. The king was still sleeping in bed, and so were the children.I had made up my mind, and I knew what I wanted to do. I got to my feet and I crept out of the door as quietly as I possibly could. I went to find Locks in the room that I thought belonged to him, and I was surprised when I knocked the door, and he was still in charge of this room.His eyes were heavy with sleep, and when he opened the door as if he wasn't expecting it to be me, he widened his eyes in shock and slammed the door in my face.I flinched, taken aback, wondering what was going on. He reopened the door a few seconds later. His face was washed, and he had packed his hair up. I couldn't help but smile. I wondered why on earth he was trying to look good for me."Hey, I wanted to talk to you. I'm sorry to come and barge into your room so early this morning.""What did you want to talk about?""So I know that you discussed with me about the King's W
I was shocked by Clyde's love confession. "What? What are you talking about?""Yes, that's the problem. I was also wondering why I was being so dramatic until I saw you with the king. The way you were smiling with him. It reminded me that the first day I saw you, I loved you from the start until you gave me that boundary, and I was going to keep it until the very end. But I didn't realize how jealous you've been with somebody else was going to make me so—-“ he groaned. "Trust me, I would still do it again if I havethe chance to.”“I'm not interested in all this nonsense that you're going on flapping about.” “I know it seems like I’m saying bullshit but as long as you're with the King, I will not back down, and I won't give up." I stood to my feet. "Clearly, you've gone mad, and I'm going to give you the chance to heal before I release you. Don't worry, I'm not going to be in this dungeon forever. It's just until you learn your lesson and learn that there are some things that you ne
I was still trying to process what he had said when the children started to cheer they had already heard what he said. "Yes Mommy, please let's stay in this big fancy room." They both started jumping on the bed, playing and giggling at the big bed. I turned to look at him."Why would you say that in front of them? Now I can't say no," he whispered in my ear. "Are you sure you can't say no because of them or because you don't want to?" I found that in the end, he was right. I could easily change my mind if I wanted. A part of me wanted to stay in this room with him. "Fine, but only because the children want it," I told him. "And don’t hold me like that in their presence." I warned him."You two must be very hungry." I turned to face them with a smile. "Yes, Mommy." "Okay, I'll go make you something to eat. Don't worry. You don't have to stress about that, I'll ask One of the guards to prepare something for them to eat.""Hell no I can't trust anybody in this palacs especially wi
"Where is he?" I asked them on top of my lungs, running away from them as if I knew where they would be.They ran after me, trying to keep up with my pace. "They are in the King's room with the king and a few guards."I increased my pace as if my life was about to end.I burst into the King's room, and I saw the children sitting on the bed.The king was still partially in his wolf form. His claws were still his wolves, and his body was still covered. His eyes were struggling, a very bright red. I wondered how the children were not terrified of his image.As soon as they saw me, they jumped to their feet, from where They were sitting and ran into my arms.I crouched to their height as they both came so hug me. I began to cry, checking their faces and inspecting them for injuries."Oh my goodness, my babies. How have you guys been?""Mommy I've missed you so much." Leah beamed."Me too," Leo said, showing off his shirt that the King gave to him."Oh my goodness." I turned around to look
