All Chapters of Lycan Prince’s Fated Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

EZRAI pull my mate closer, needing to feel her in every crux of my body. She is so responsive and she follows me, kisses me as hard as I’m kissing her and I so badly want to throw caution to the wind and claim her now, marK her, complete the mating ceremony and see what my father and the parliament will say about that.I stopped because she deserved better than that, better than me using our mate bond as revenge for what my father wants to do.Phoenix is as breathless as I am when I move back, breaking the kiss. Her hands fall from my neck but before she withdraws them, I snatch them in mine and bring it up to my lips. I kiss her knuckles then bring it down, still holding us together.“Hi,” her voice is breathy and it makes me smile because it feels great to know I did that.“Hi,” my voice is equally breathless and rough. Her cheeks are tainted pink and I’m reminded how very beautiful she is.I know I’m doing the right thing. She deserves our first time together to be perfect, candle

EZRA“The kingdom should always come first!” one of the men really testing my patience repeats for the umpteenth time. That is all he has been saying since this meeting started a few hours ago and I am already sick of all the dumb thoughts he has and his damned pot belly that moves with every word he screams out.“No one is putting it more at risk than the likes of you.” One of the men on the other side fires back.I massage my temple and look up toward where my father is seated at the top of the podium. He gives me a look but I turn away from him.He is telling me that one word from me can end this fruitless argument that has been going on for two days now and I know when we come back tomorrow, it is still going to be the same thing. I am not going to easily concede and do what he wants.I have never seen grown men act like children, it is why I guess I hated meetings with the parliament. They were all petty and hateful individuals who care about nothing but themselves and their self

EZRA I was able to convince Phoenix I’ll fix everything and then she wouldn’t have to leave, she wouldn’t sacrifice herself, sacrifice me and us for the country. I know this sounds terrible coming from me seeing as I’m going to lead these people someday, but it is for the good of them that I’ll do this. Phoenix has a good heart and she may not see it but she meant to be a queen. Everything about her is that of a queen, I’ll make sure she sees that. How easily she wanted to put the country and people before herself made me see just how good of a queen she would be. She is not just a robotic human who grew up listening to the same set of rules, do this and don’t do that. No, she has a mind of her own and I know she has great ideas that will birth a better werewolf community. Something I’ve been dreaming of since I understood what being the future lycan king meant. It is too much pressure to put on someone who didn’t know about this until just a few months ago. The rational voice in m

PHOENIX Prince Ezra was better before he left, and I enjoyed the day with him outside. I saw a different part of him, minus the guards obviously keeping an eye on us. I feel a little awkward about that because I feel like they were looking out for him, from me. if that even makes sense but he was smiling and the dark look in his eyes was gone by the time he said he had to go back to work. Sadly I didn’t get anything from him regarding his brother because he’d brushed it off after I asked what he meant by Prince Zanders has a dark side. Of course I didn’t let it go so he promised he would tell me. Just that it had to wait till in the evening when we were alone in the privacy of his room and I’m looking forward to that. After he left, I didn’t want to go back inside and just went to the servant quarters to meet with Kiara, to surprise her. She was elated, and she’d said she was on her way to see me when I got there. Apparently, Princess wannabe—yes, she is still calling her that—has g

EZRA“He killed him?” I ask, disgust and disbelief coating my tone.“I’m sure the king thought he was doing the right thing.” I shake my head before she can even finish, that does not excuse anything.“He was barely an adult and he just witnessed his entire family get killed, that is not losing control. It is reacting!” I don’t realize I’m yelling until she flinches. I sit back and run my hand through my hair. I exhale a breath through my mouth and try to slow my breathing, when I feel the anger simmer down, I sigh and look up. “I’m sorry.”“It is alright,” she tries to smile but it falters. “And I’m not very sure about that, it is said that it is not easy to kill a wolf with dark powers because they live on. He may have been imprisoned, that is what some of the other books say.”I massage my temples again, trying to not think of my great grandfather killing an innocent child because he thought he was too powerful. I have heard of the despicable things they have done, I’m not stupid a
