“I was just kidding, really,” Erin chuckled, and Duncan heaved a sigh of relief before dragging her into the room.

They weaved their way to where a few people stood to make their orders.

The place was brightly illuminated by the white fancy lights that hung off the bubbly colored walls.

“What would you like to have?” Duncan turned to Erin, and her eyes fell on the different flavors of ice cream underneath the glasses.

Erin's eyes glittered with delight as her eyes swept over every one of them. A smile played on her lips as her eyes lingered on a flavor named cookies.

“Cookies, and uhm…” she trailed off, thinking. “Vanilla.”

Duncan nodded, and then searched the glass for his. “I think I would try yogurt and chocolate.”

Erin frowned, turning to view him. “Why would you pick yogurt?” She asked, and then returned her gaze to the glass. “What happened to caramel or vanilla?”

“I want to be spontaneous, you know,” Duncan said before telling a waitress whose lips were coated with red l

    Erin Nightwind Immediately she heard her name with the princess title behind it, she knew it was someone that knew her personally, someone from her kingdom. Her head snapped up, and her eyes grew large at the sight of her most trusted maid. Somehow, relief washed over her. It was Anna and not somebody else that would rat her out to her father. “But what if you can not trust Anna?” Erin's thoughts flew around her head. “An-Anna,” Erin stuttered, unsure of what else to do or say. Erin gulped, watching as Anna shuffled her gaze between her and Duncan. Erin observed Duncan's perplexed demeanor. “What are you doing here princess?” Anna asked, and then cast a skeptical eye at Duncan, gently sniffing the air. “Is he a-”Anna paused, eyes widening on realization as she took Duncan in. “Princess!” Anna called, her tone resolute. “Come with me right away.” “Why?” Erin asked, forehead creased into a frown of disapproval. Anna leaves closer to Erin's ear, whispering, “Mark.”Erin's hea

    Duncan "Erin, wait!" Duncan's voice carried urgency, causing her to whip her head around, her black hair swishing in the air before settling on her face, her eyes wide with surprise and concern.As he rose to his feet, he hastily grabbed both his ice cream cup and Erin's, his fingers trembling slightly with the sudden rush of adrenaline."I'm sorry, but I can't wait," Erin responded, her voice tinged with regret, her eyes flickering with a mix of apology and determination."We have to go," the lady who had come for Erin interjected, her tone firm, her eyebrows furrowed in impatience."Can I at least have a hug?" Duncan pleaded, his voice soft, his eyes pleading as they met Erin's, hoping for a moment of connection before they had to part ways, his heart racing with the fear of losing her.Erin took a few hesitant steps forward, her movements hesitant, conflicted emotions evident on her face as she glanced back at Duncan, torn between duty and desire.But when another woman, who appea

    “Please, help my daughter,” the woman cried like a broken record, and it pulled Duncan's heartstrings. “How did you get them past the borders?” Felicia asked, eyeing the almost lifeless body in Duncan's arms. “I am not sure I want to help one of their kind, not after what they did to me.”“What do you mean?” The woman asked with urgency in her voice, adding, “What has my kind done? Have you been hurt by the Galihans?”“And you are?” Felicia asked, eyeing the woman with disdain in her eyes. “Rena,” the woman answered in a shaky voice. Duncan let out a sigh and locked gazes with her, saying, “I will handle it.” Rena nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I know what they did to you, but these people are not them. We can not continue to suffer their kind for the sins of their forefathers, and if it is one thing I know, you will never allow an innocent soul get harmed,” Duncan spoke, trying to explain to Felicia, their pack's sage. “Please, for the sake of your values, and for my

    Erin Grendel“What exactly were you thinking?!” Aunt Kayla exclaimed, dragging her away from the ice cream shop. “Aunt Kayla,” Erin whimpered, feeling her aunt's fingers clasping around her wrist in a painful manner. “How did you find me?” A carriage materialized in front of them and Aunt Kayla shoved Erin into it, glaring at her. “Have you forgotten what his kind did to Darcy?” Aunt Kayla seethed. “Have you forgotten what they did to your grandfather?” Erin lowered her head, feeling a weight on her shoulders. “Do you realize what you are doing? Do you know your father and your mother-” “Stop!” Erin bellowed, anger simmering under his skin.

    Aunt Kayla's eyes widened, and she blanched as she looked at Erin. “Stop,” Erin said calmly, chest heaving. “Why does it have to be about my parents and never what I want?” The air grew thick with tension as silence settled in the air. “Why does everyone keep using me as a pawn?” Erin asked, tears stinging her eyelid. “You are the heir to the throne, Erin,” Aunt Kayla stated, voice lowered. “You have to do things right. You can not afford to do anything that will tarnish your reputation or put your family to shame.” Erin swallowed a breath, heart in her throat as she thought about Mark. She blocked aunt Kayla out, staring out of the carriage. They arrived at the castle and Erin's heart pounded against the walls of her chest. She went into the castle, stomach twisting with dread as she got into the palace and to the waiting room. “Amelia?” Erin called when she saw Amelia seated on a couch.“Oh, hi, sis,” Amelia said, settling in her chair and sipping juice. “What about Mark?”

    “Nothing about you,” Amelia responded casually, her fingers tracing the rim of her glass as she lounged at the dining table. She plucked an apple from her plate and took a crisp bite. “He's off to conquer a city or something. It was rather amusing, really, how he didn't even inquire about you.”Erin felt a lump form in her throat, a heavy weight pressing down on her chest. She swallowed hard, forcing down the knot of anxiety that threatened to choke her.“Father asked if there was anything going on,” Amelia continued, her tone nonchalant. “He went all rigid before responding to father's question.”Erin's muscles tensed at the mention of their father's probing. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, her mind racing with thoughts she couldn't articulate.Turning to leave, Erin paused as Amelia's voice halted her retreat. “When are you going to tell them?”“What?” Erin's gaze flicked back to her sister, confusion furrowing her brow.“You know,” Amelia cocked a knowing eyebrow, her expres

    Duncan Mirthon Duncan's heart raced as he rushed towards Lara, concern etched across his face. "Lara, what happened? Are you hurt?" he asked, his voice filled with worry. He held her shoulders, eyeing her body and inspecting it for injuries or whatsoever. Lara shivered, her voice trembling as she spoke. "Duncan, I saw blood in my bathtub. I do not understand what is happening," she said, her eyes wide with fear as she held her head. Without wasting a moment, Duncan hurried into Lara's bathroom to investigate the scene she described. He carefully surveyed the area, trying to find any trace of blood, but to his confusion, there was none. The bathtub was filled with clear water, devoid of any signs of violence. Puzzled, he returned to Lara in the room. "There's no blood in the bathtub, Lara," Duncan assured her, his brows furrowing with concern. “What exactly happened?” Lara clutched Duncan's wrist tightly, her grip filled with desperation. "I swear, Duncan, I saw it. I am not imag

    Erin NightwindErin entered her mother's room, her steps tentative on the plush carpet that lined the floor. The air hung heavy with tension as she braced herself for her mother's inevitable reaction. Mrs. Nightwind, draped in an elegant velvet gown, whirled around to face her, her eyes ablaze with fury."What on earth do you think you're doing, Erin?" Mrs. Nightwind's voice crackled with displeasure. "I cannot fathom why you've been gallivanting around with that man, that... outsider!"Erin fought to keep her voice steady, fully aware of the repercussions her actions could invite. "Mother, he is just a friend. We have been spending time together...as friends," she offered, her words tinged with apprehension, hoping desperately that her mother would buy her lies. But Mrs. Nightwind's expression only grew more severe. "Do you even realize the consequences of your actions?

    Duncan carried Erin in his arms, smiling as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He got into their room and dropped her on the bed, planting a kiss on her forehead. "We are finally married, my love!" she beamed, clasping her hands around his neck."It feels too good to be true," he murmured, gazing into her eyes. "I kept thinking I would wake up and find it was all a dream.""Well, this is no dream," Erin replied, kissing him softly. "We are husband and wife at long last. We no longer have to hide to see each other.”Duncan furrowed his forehead as sadness washed over him. “What is wrong?” Erin questioned with concern. “I am sorry that I told my father I didn't know you when you were captured. I am sorry for thinking you killed my pack members and I am so sorry I let them throw you in the dungeon. I did it to protect you and I,” Duncan explained. “I-”Erin's touch lingered softly on Duncan's lips, a silent reassurance of her understanding and acceptance. "No more words, my dear,"

    The absence of the one she had trusted most only deepened the sense of betrayal and left her trying to make sense of the harsh reality of the war that now raged within the very walls of her kingdom.Her world shattered as she witnessed the horrific scene unfolding before her eyes. “Mother, Father, Amelia!” She called their names, running to through the chaos in search of her family. She goes into battle with the werewolves and saw Emyrn.“What? You are here? Where is Amelia?” She asked.“Fighting on the other side,” Emryn said as he took down the wolves with his magic powers.“Hold them in as much as possible…let me check up on my parents," she said running to her parents chamber.The sight of the caramel-skinned witch she had seen at Duncan's pack, bewitching Lara through the mirror that night terrified her. Erin's heart sank when her eyes fell to the witch’s hand gripping the dagger that had pierced her father’s heart, sending waves of anguish coursing through her. She screamed i

    Duncan's povDuncan wondered what was happening to him. For the first time, his primal wolf kept telling him to trust Erin. It was persistent that he was mistaken, but hem remained steadfast in his refusal to heed to the fact Erin might be innocent, not entirely innocent, but not as eveil as he thought she is. His mind came back to his father who had just called him. “Why is dad suddenly decided on going to war with the vampires?” He thought as he entered the chamber.“Finally you are here. You made me wait for a while," Alpha Mirthon said. “Sorry for the inconvieniences I might have caused but father, why am I being summoned?” Duncan ask, pretending not to know. Of course he has to or else, that maid will be in trouble.“We are going to war, son” He announced, his voice evident that he is determined to carry out what he just said.Duncan’s bro furrowed in confusion as he process his father ‘s words once again, hoping his father will say it is a prank but his ffather is not the kin

    111.She turned to the sound of the footsteps but heard the person pulling back. “Duncan?” She wished it was him for a second but when she remembered what happened earlier, she got rid of that wishful thinking.She is more than devastated and a tear rolls down her cheek when she recalls how he avoided her gaze. The guards were pulling her away, past the scarred walls and the torches mounted on the walls but he was not looking. She began to have different thoughts. If anything were to happen to her while coming, the least she could expect to happen is Duncan denying knowing her. She should have just stuck to Mark. This wouldn't have happened if she listened to him when he told her to end things with Duncan. She looked around the dungeon and realized it was a dimly lit cell and she was still in the same position as she was when she was tossed into it. She turned, banging on the iron bars."Let me go!" She cried out, her voice hoarse with anguish. But her words fell on deaf ears, swall

    Erin’s heart skipped a beat and she rose to her feet dusting her dress. While she expected to see so many guards, she was glad that it was only a guard. “I am asking again and I won’t repeat, who are you?” The guards took a stance to fight her but she chuckled.With a calm demeanor, she met the guard's gaze, her voice steady despite finding it amusing that the guard was ready to take her on a one-on-one battle.“Okay fine… I am a lycan princess. I heard the Alpha’s palace is here and has a great view. I came to see if it is true or not and it looks like it is true. Either way, I am leaving now” She said, and watched as the guard's stance shifted, his muscles tensed as he took in her words. She held her breath, hoping against hope that her explanation would be enough to quell any further suspicion."Trust me," she continued, her tone earnest. "I meant no trouble, and I am going now." She said pointing to where she came in from.“Ha… Think you can fool me?” He said howling loudly. His

    Erin's heart sank as she stood there, reeling from Duncan's abrupt leaving without hearing her out. "What am I supposed to do now?" she wondered, feeling lost and frustrated at the same time. Suddenly, her thoughts were shattered by a jolt as Lola's mind link flooded her consciousness with unexpected news. "Amelia found?!" Erin gasped, her mind racing. She turned instinctively in the direction Duncan had taken, taking one last glance as though wishing he emerge again from the shadows but it was just wishful thinking. Unable to follow him, she made a swift decision to return to Nebramos to confirm the miraculous news herself. She arrived at Nebramos at the break of dawn and was met with a scene of utter chaos. The maids were in a frenzy, their cries of anguish piercing the morning air. The whole palace was chaotic. She frowned and rushed in with curiosity but the maids were weeping so loud that they did not notice her coming. "What's happening here?" she asked, grabbing one of the

    Duncan's pov"Trespasser?" The alpha asks, and Duncan frowns in confusion as he looks at alpha Mirthon, his dad. “How can there be a trespasser around by this time?” Alpha Mirthon asked."It is a female vampire." The guard announces.Duncan's heart started to thump really hard in his chest. How could that be?“We should all go and see who the trespasser is now, shouldn't we?” Duncan rushes outside only to see guards holding Erin's hands. Anger bubbles in him to see her in such a state. “i warned you.” He said to himself internally. How could she get herself into such a mess because he warned her to stay away from his kingdom because he knew that once she was caught, it would be difficult for her to escape. He even knew about her killing his people, but he still gave her a way of escaping, but how could she mess it all up and let herself get caught by his people.Erin, however, did not seem to understand the situation she was in because she kept struggling with the guards who held he

    Duncan's povHe watched her through the woods and once he was sure that it was her, he called out her name and she turned around to face him, confirming his suspicions."Erin?" His throat ran dry. His heart felt broken and he hated how he hadn't noticed it earlier that she had been the one killing his pack members.His heart pace increased and he stared at her whilst having many questions at the back of his mind. Why would she do this? And how could she? Although they were mates, he also had an obligation to his people, his pack. How could she do this to him? How could she betray him after everything they'd gone through?“Why… Erin? Why?”“I have no clue what you're talking about.” Duncan touched his heart, feeling his heart break every second she gave him an answer he didn't like.“Why did you betray me?” He asked. His love for Erin could not blind that she had done something intensively horrid. He never would have thought she would do something like this but with all evidences in h

    The young werewolf breathed his last, and as soon as he did, Erin escaped from underneath him, causing his fur to land on the dusty ground. Erin breathed and watched the werewolf while his last words bothered her repeatedly. Necromancer. What did he mean?Erin covered the eyes of the werewolf and said a quick prayer to the moon to help him rest in peace.Whatever was chasing him seemed to have been very powerful. For him to die that easily.Then she thought of herself. She herself was bleeding, and the young werewolf's blood would soon catch the prey's attention in this area. Staying in this open area was not good for her. Still, she weighed her thoughts as she stood there concernedly.As the werewolf fully transformed into his human form, Erin was sure that he was dead. She looked at his eyes that she'd covered while in his wolf form, but they were wide open now, which made Erin aware that whoever this man had seen was definitely a dangerous creature.She quickly peered around her
