All Chapters of THE NORTHERN KING'S TRIBUTE : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Shift!” Levion’s voice boomed through the training ground. The rookie soldiers shifted in an instant within seconds while the flustered queen of Sulcar had a little trouble in shifting with speed. Her bones snapped quickly but not nearly as quick as the rest of them, she shifted into her red furred beast in no time. A few stole glances at their queen beast, the rumours of her being a gamma were all true. Ilena felt uncomfortable by the stares of the rest of the rookies. The size of her beast was surprisingly bigger than most of them because she thought she was little compared to Dreg. “Today, your instructors and I would be teaching you to fight in your beast form so pair up!” Levion yelled. A few beasts grumbled to themselves while Ilena shuffled to find someone to pair with but couldn’t find any. She felt a nudge in her mind. “My queen, you have to pair up.” Levion’s voice sounded. Her eyes widened at him. “I-i thought only mates could speak this way with each o

Ilena blinked her eyes, adjusting it to the dimly lit room that she laid in. Memories of the steamy intimate session with Dreg flashed into her head which caused a raging blush to form on her cheeks. Her eyes widened in shock from the unfamiliar room she was in so she sat up abruptly. The room was huge, bigger than the one at the Manor with expensive gold interior. Dreg’s intoxicating scent filled her sensitive nostrils so this must be his chamber but he was no where to be seen. She climbed off the large bed and walked towards an extended balcony. “Wow.....” She mumbled in realization. Before her was the vast mountains and hills of Sulcar, it was like she was at the main castle of Sulcar. The cool night breeze feathered her skin but she was parched. There was no sign of any chalice or jug of water so she decided to head out and attempt to find water. The hallway was large and completely dark with only the moonlight illuminating it a little. Her steps were light and a

Dreg read the words on the crisp paper that held the royal seal of Thanes. It was a letter from Egret, the King of the Eastern kingdom of Thanes and also Ilena’s father. He was formally inviting them to attend the wedding of Asla, the regal princess of Thanes and also Ilena’s sister. It seemed that the wedding would take place in five days time. Levion eyed Dreg’s expression. “What is it about?” Dreg sighed, slightly annoyed by the short notice of the wedding and was reluctant to attend. “It’s an invitation for a wedding.” Levion raised a curious brow. “A wedding.....who’s wedding?” “Ilena’s sister’s wedding I suppose.....its coming in such short notice, I don’t feel like attending.” “That means you would be heading for Thanes soon, just before mating season....” Levion thought out loud. The winter season usually is when mating season occurs so that mates can birth their babies during the summer when it was much warmer for their babies. Dreg didn’t want to put I

The remaining days had gone by quickly with Dreg and Ilena getting ready for the long travel to Thanes. The winter was much harsher now, indicating that the mating season would just be in a few days. They all could feel the shift in the atmosphere and their physical appearances. Ilena noticed the slight weight gain in her curves and the way her skin seemed to glow brighter. Everyone was prepping through the winter for the blizzard that was soon about to take place. Surprisingly, they all still felt warm due to the blood of the beast coursing through their veins. Dreg had left Levion to handle a few affairs that might spring up during his absence. He wrapped Ilena’s smaller frame with his heavy bear fur coat that seemed to weigh a ton. “Your cheeks are so flushed, are you cold?” Dreg asked. Ilena unconsciously snuggled into the warm fur. “I-i find it a little strange that we’re sharing a carriage.....” He chuckled and widened his thighs to get more comfortable as he sa

The castle was bustling with activities, servants hurried to finish up with decorations and the remaining little things they could do. Asla was in awe of her wedding gown, she wanted it to be bigger and grander than that of Ilena’s. It was a big gold gown with intricate designs from the royal seamstress, it accentuated her figure nicely. After much coercion, she had agreed to be married to Leon once she found out that he was in favour for the throne. They didn’t even have the same interest but she was happy that one day, she’ll be queen. “You look beautiful, princess Asla.” A maid gushed out. Asla smirked at her reflection in the mirror. “This wedding would be grander and more memorable than that of Ilena’s....” she murmured. Meanwhile in the royal guest wing of the castle, a few servants assisted Ilena into her gown which was of the Northern fashion. They were awed by the beautiful foreign designs. “Queen Ilena, I have never seen such design in Thanes....” Her c
