"How do we use her to win against Silas?" Sapphire asked, the sound of clinking plates following.I pressed my hand over my heart to keep it from beating too loudly. I couldn't believe my ears. Alexander and Sapphire were plotting against Silas and I was the key to their plan."He's in love with her. If we could just get her to convince him to back out of this, maybe he would listen." Alexander suggested."Do you think she will?" "She's already guilty because she cheated on me with him. If I could just get them to go further than kiss... Maybe have sex and catch her in the act. We can use that against her.""You mean threaten to expose her for infidelity?" Sapphire asked. "And when did this kiss happen?""Exactly. She knows that the creatures would hate her for this, and all she wants to be is a good queen. If she realized that she would lose her crown if Silas becomes king then...""She'll try to convince him to stop." "Exactly." Alexander said. "It's foolproof.""Hold on. Silas lo
"It's about your mate."Silas clenched his jaw at the mentioning of his mate and he looked away from me. My heart dropped at his actions, something told me that he already knew who she was."Silas?" I said his name softly."Why did he mention that?" He asked, his eyes stuck on the lake in front of us. The water made a calming noise ahead of us and there was a fresh breeze that was meant to relaxed me. I felt anything but relaxed at that moment."He wants to use her to stop you from fighting him. I overheard his plan." I said and explained everything I had heard to him. Silas listened carefully, and when I was done he released a humoured laugh that left me feeling surprised."You don't really think he'll succeed, do you?" He asked me, finally looking at me."He could if he found your mate and gave her to you." I said softly, looking at my feet. I felt Silas' arm around my waist, his other hand lifting my chin with his index finger. I let him pull me closer and he looked down at me lov
"Four, five!""One, two, three, four, five!""One more time.""...two, three, four."I felt a continuous pressure over my chest, my body immediately responding as I felt everything I had consumed leave my mouth. I turned to the side as water ran through my throat, and I threw it all up. I coughed loudly, my senses slowly returning to me. I could feel a warm hand running over my shoulders, attempting to comfort me.I opened my eyes, seeing nothing but darkness. "My rose, are you alright?" I heard Silas ask me quickly. I was lifted up and placed against a solid chest. I had no doubt that it belonged to him.A gust of cold wind stroked my drying skin, making me shiver."Her lips are blue. We need to get her back home immediately." I heard someone else speak. I also recognized the voice, but I was surprised to hear him here."Sei?" I asked weakly. I barely saw him kneel in front of me and he held my hand. "I'm here." He said softly, brushing my wet hair off my face."What happened?" I ask
"Where have you been?"I stared at the crackling fire in front of me, my hands held out towards it as I warmed up my body. Alexander crossed his arms at me in expectance, but I didn't look at him. I didn't want him to detect my dishonesty."What do you mean?" I asked him after clearing my throat. "I've been here."He looked around my office before stepping closer to me. He fell on one knee to reach meet my level since I was sitting on the floor, wrapped in a thick blanket. I was finally starting to warm up, and I could feel my powers slowly strengthening.I guess extreme cold is my weakness."I checked this place a million times." Alexander pointed out, his eyes turning black. It usually happened whenever he was hungry, but I knew that he was still full after he had fed from that human he was so obsessed with. I wonder if she's transferred to the wolfpack yet.I wanted to speak to her."Are you deaf? She said she was right here." Silas said from the corner of the room. Alexander and
"You know, I mean it when I say you didn't cheat. Maybe in human terms you did, but in supernatural laws, you didn't." Silas said to me, peering at me.It was the next morning since Silas and I escaped to go to the lake. I was fully recovered and spending time outside to get some fresh air. Silas was with me as a bodyguard...And my lover."How so?" I asked him."We didn't decide to break up. When two mates verbally agree to become a couple, they kind of seal their bond. A verbal agreement doesn't strengthen or weaken it. It just acts as a seal, the cherry on top. Like when humans get engaged, they seal it with a ring." Silas explained. I nodded in understanding."You and I never broke that seal, meaning that even in my death, you and I were together. Unless we both told each other that we were broken up, we are together." I pursed my lips and wondered why Sei didn't tell me. He never said anything about breaking a supernatural seal. Did that mean he was still my boyfriend, too?"The
I watched outside my bedroom window as a carriage was loaded up with our belongings, preparing for our departure to the Nazari Packgrounds. My eyes moved back down to the map in front of me. It was a two day trip in a carriage with two horses, and almost a week long trip on foot. Half a day on a car. "I miss my Porsche," I mumbled. There was a number of things I missed about my old life. Such as the delicious food I left behind, and the pretty fashion we were exposed to. I definitely took those for granted. Here, I was expected to dress like a queen in big uncomfortable dresses, tight shoes and perfect hair. Only when I was training, could I wear something more comfortable. Let's not even get started on the food here. The most normal thing they have is blue potatoes. The door opened and Alexander walked in. I hadn't been sleeping in here, and I knew that everyone else had noticed. Surely, everyone was aware about Silas and I, and I had no doubt that the Heads would want to meet u
Silas threw the tent at Sei and turned to dig for another, his eyebrows furrowing after a few seconds. "Huh," he said softly and turned to the rest of us."There's only one tent." He said. Alexander untied the horse-looking creatures and let them go, "Go hunt and rest. Be back here as soon as morning arrives."The creatures huffed and sprinted away. He sure had a lot of trust in those things. What if they decided not to return?Sei looked at Silas as he untied the tent, "Well, we'll have to share this one. The rest can try and fit in the carriage.""It should fit at least five people." Daffodil stated. Sei nodded, "People, not supernaturals. We are much bigger than human men. I think only three of us will fit, that's only because Akielia and Daffodil are already small in size."So, two guys had to sleep in the carriage together."I'll be sleeping with Akielia." Silas said, reaching for the tent. He snatched it from Sei and started setting it up. A flash of thunder caught my attentio
Morning soon arrived, and the strange horses made their way back to us. We got up, ate some sandwiches that had been packed for us and freshened up by a nearby stream. When all was packed and ready, our journey to the packlands continued.Another day later, we finally arrived to the Alphas territory. To say it was beautiful was an understatement. It was nearly as perfect as my very own palace.The land was flat and clear of trees, except for the surrounding packlands. Many cute cabins surrounded the area and in the middle of the massive piece of land, stood a mansion I would have never been able to afford back on earth.Our carriage pulled up in front of this mansion, and a tall man walked out from the long double doors to greet us. He wore a fitted grey suit, and his dark hair was pushed back. I could feel power radiating from him, and by how Sei looked at him with hatred, I knew exactly who this was."Alpha Nazari, it is good to see you." I greeted, shaking his hand. His grip was al
"What exactly happened that's making you panic so much?" Alexander asked, pulling the door of the carriage open with a small yawn."I think your mother tried to speak to me through mind link. I don't know how but I heard many voices screaming for help. I think something has happened back home." I explained, tying my hair back. I looked into the distance, the pale moon just barely lighting over the land.As soon as Sei had asked me what was wrong, I rushed up and packed everything. Silas woke Alexander up, and he was not pleased to be interupted from whatever he was doing in his room."What if you were dreaming?" Alexander grumbled. I glared at him as I shoved my bag inside. "What's with you? Clearly you don't want to leave."Silas smirked, "He's sad that I walked in on him pounding into his little human."I shuddered when the image formed in my head. I did not need to know that.Alexander frowned but didn't say anything, keeping his eyes on the ground. I pursed my lips and suddenly re
Sei took a deep breath and held Elder Norabi's hand. I bit my lower lip in anticipation. This would be the moment of truth. Sei was going to walk out of these packlands holding someones hand. Was it mine, or Daffodils?I looked at Daffodil, seeing her as nervous as I was. Her leg bounced up and down continuously. Sei looked at her and she gave him a smile that was meant to be reassuring. It wasn't, she just seemed even more worried.I would also be scared if I were her. Without Sei, she had no reason to live in the palace. She only lived with us because he was her boyfriend. She would have to find her own place to live. She would be by herself."Sei, may I look through your memories."Sei nodded, "Yes."Elder Norabi closed her eyes for a few minutes, humming in understanding. "You've been through a lot with your brother. It is no surprise you're so confused with everything.""It's been a journey." Sei said with a nod. "Even looking back at my own memories, I still can't believe it.""
It turns out that we did not need to wait long.Alpha Nazari's mother arrived sooner than we expected, way before dinnertime for the rest of the pack. That was great news for me because I didn't want to overstay my welcome."Goodness, I had heard that our queen was beautiful but this is far beyond my expectations." The old lady said, smiling widely. I thanked her for the compliment with a grin, and held her hand in respect. I nearly stumbled back from the amount of power I felt from her. She was very old, even needing a walking stick to help her, but she had the strength of an alpha. "Thank you so much for getting here so soon. I'm sorry if we caused you any inconvenience." I said softly. She waved my words off, "Nonsense! I'm glad that you came by. My name is Norabi, but everyone calls me Elder. I was the packs luna before my son and his wife." "It's lovely to meet you." I said honestly, "I'm sure you already know me and Alexander. This is Sei." I said, turning to show her Sei, wh
