All Chapters of Double Mate For The Princess: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11Xavier’s POV.I never knew my mother. The maids say she was the most beautiful human they had ever seen.I would beg Lady Rose to tell me about her as a child and she would, with obvious grumbling. She was never to refuse my requests, I assumed that was father’s doing. She was kind to me, her role in my life was more than that of just a servant. I would come to see her as the mother I never had.Her warm hugs and that sweet, lavender scent that accompanied the embrace, when my father neglected or disregarded me as he usually did became my safe haven, my refuge.She would speak highly of him, praise my father, speaking about the days of their youth and how ambitious he was. She would recount stories centred around his breathtaking aura, his unmoved resolve, eyes that pierced through even the darkest of nights and more tales about his awesomeness. She made me love him, the beast that terrified packs and haunted children’s nightmares, my father, the heartless alpha of the b

Chapter 13Zara's POV."Hurry up, Acer," another guard said from outside the dungeon where I was stuck with a man I had never seen before.His smile was sinister. His eyes plotted as he moved. He wanted something but there was nothing in the dungeon, nothing but me. Could it be? Another attempt? Was this my curse? Fated to be abused by countless men who only saw me as a tool for their selfish satisfaction. Curse or not, there was only so much a girl could take.Acer, the haggard long man approached me, inching closer to where I sat on the dungeon floor.I had no strength left to talk, I only stared as he drew closer, watching keenly every step he took and every move he made, trying to predict the next one.Acer looked like a man with kids and a wife. He looked like the kind that cheated on his wife with every opportunity that he got and felt no remorse afterwards. He seemed like the kind to beat his wife and children whenever he had too much to drink. I could tell from the stench of

Chapter 15Xavier's POV.I did not think father would do something so underhanded. He had an angry look on his face since I barged into the room, angrier than usual. His anger seemed to worsen the more I spoke but I didn't care. I was here to make a point and get some answers.I was tired of being the son that rolled over at the very hint of an argument with his father. I was angry with the way I was welcomed.He transformed before my eyes, releasing that powerful, huge, alpha wolf that aunt Rose told countless tales about. As the alpha he was the biggest in the pack, bigger than most other alpha, as the rumours went. He was the reason the blood moon remained the most powerful pack in all the East.His thick, black hair was just as dark as the hair on his head, blacker than the feathers of a raven. He stood out every full moon as we- me, him and the other wolves, ran free through the woods.I envied that beautiful, rich fur. I wanted it, even now as he attacked me.I remember the n

Chapter 17Xavier's POV"Come on, let's go Xavier," Kraken called out to me, before transforming into a hairy, brown monster before my eyes.The rest of the pack shared a semblance with Kraken's mighty, four legged monster. They all transformed after the initiation was complete and the moon hung at its peak spot in the night's sky.Stars were nowhere to be seen that night, only the red glow of the blood moon enveloped the earth.I remembered Beta Hugh's advice to become one with nature, the moon goddess and her celestial touch. The chilly, winter air, the deafening sound of the wolves all around me, the quiet of the woods beneath the howling, I took it all in, synchronising with all of nature."Now go! Run Xavier. Run," the moon goddess spoke to me once more. She asked me to run and so I did, moving faster than I ever had. I let go of every fear and doubt, I became one with nature, leaping through the woods on four limbs. I was Xavier, the son of the night.They were right after all,

Chapter 19Zara's POV"It's time to go."What did he mean? I wondered and stared with confusion at the short guard standing by my cell. He took a bunch of keys from where they were hung on his belt and unlocked the door of my cage."What? Why?" I asked in disbelief. They say that if you tie a chicken to a tree and eventually release it, the chicken would keep walking in circles around the tree even after it had been cut loose. I had begged to be released for so long but my cries fell on deaf ears. I had finally stopped screaming at the top of my voice and that was when I was heard, like the sound of my screams were delayed. I doubted the authenticity of it all, maybe these guards were trying to make fun of me."Orders from above, ma'am. We don't make the rules, we just follow orders. You're free to go." The other guard said. He was tall and chubby, the complete opposite of the guard who unlocked the door.I ran out of the dungeon and sat back down on the cold, concrete floors of the o
