Chapter: BOOK 2: CHAPTER 5—Amira—My breath stalled midway. It was as if the entire oxygen in the world had disappeared.Why was I reacting toward someone I barely knew?“This is my brother.” Damian introduced as he shut the door and led me toward the man.“Hi. My name is Amira,” I said. But he didn't respond. He just sipped from his glass.“He's drunk,” Damian added.I frowned. “What? So you want me to take advantage of a helpless man?”He folded his arms. “Two hundred grand. Either you do it or forget about the money.”Damnit. I needed the money.“Fine. I'll do it,” I blurted.The monster. He angled his head toward his brother and didn't give us some privacy.What had my life turned to? Just after stripping and dancing in front of a crowd, I was about to sleep with a man while his brother watched. All for two hundred thousand dollars.Exhaling, I lowered my jacket and sat beside my client.He had wavy, black hair. A pair of blue eyes and very kissable lips. Though we were seated, I could tell he was six feet

Chapter: BOOK 2: CHAPTER 4—Amira— Three months ago... I was making dinner in the kitchen when my little cousin's voice broke out from the balcony. “Amira! Come, look!” “What's it, Oluchi?” I asked, covering for the pot. “Just hurry!” she beckoned. Exhaling, I wiped my hands on my apron and stepped out of the kitchen. But the second I reached the balcony, my heart stumbled. There, in the yard, was a face I hadn’t seen in two years. My longtime boyfriend. “Sammy?” I breathed. He laughed, that same crooked laugh that used to melt me. “Yes, baby. It’s me.” I dashed into his arms and he lifted me off my feet. Just like that the lonely nights and the endless waiting, melted away. “I missed you,” I whispered. He kissed my forehead. “I missed you more.” “What's all the noise about?” We turned as Grandma Nenna, stepped into the balcony, walking stick in hand. The smile on her face shriveled as she saw him. “Mama. Sammy's back,” Oluchi giggled. “Good evening, Mama,” he greeted her. But sh

Chapter: BOOK 2: CHAPTER 3—Nathaniel—What kind of fool gives his heart to a stranger?I blinked twice, not because I was fighting tears. But because I needed to be sure I was seeing right.No. It wasn’t my imagination. She’d chosen the money and left without looking back.The silence was suffocating. It felt like someone had cut me open with a knife.I hesitated, then reached inside my pocket for my phone. Only to come up with a pack of condoms. Damian must’ve slipped it in last night.Shit. I hadn’t even used it.I pulled out my phone, and dialed the head of my security.“Hello, sir.”“Prepare my convoy. We’re going home,” I muttered, and ended the call.I didn’t move until a knock sounded at the door. The head of my security stepped in.“Your convoy is ready, sir,” he announced.Slipping my phone into my pocket, I pushed myself off the couch and headed for the VIP elevator.In the parking lot, I climbed into the lead car of the convoy, and we merged into D.C' s morning traffic.No meetings. No work. Not tod

Chapter: BOOK 2: CHAPTER 2 —Nathaniel—Something about her stopped the noise in my head. Maybe it was the way her cocoa skin glowed under the dim lights, or how her afro hair fanned out like a crown halo.Then I noticed what she was wearing— a sheer silver bodysuit that hugged her curves, and jewelry that caught the light.Damian hooted, before turning to us at the table. “Seems we have a newbie in the house.”Eloise gasped. “Oh my God, she’s so beautiful.”As for me?I could only sip my drink, unable to take my eyes off her.Something about her tightened my chest—made me acutely aware of her in a way I’d never been with another woman.As though all the oxygen in the room had disappeared.She scanned the room as though unsure of what she was here to do, then Reluctantly grabbed the pole.“Why isn't she dancing?” Eloise asked.Damian shrugged. “She's a fresher, what do you expect? Guess she's not used to this kind of attention.”“Move it already, will you?” someone shouted from the crowd.For the life of me, I f

Chapter: BOOK2: CHAPTER 1 —Nathaniel—The shrilling of my alarm clock dragged me out of sleep. I slammed a hand over the timepiece, silencing it, before rolling onto my back.Something about today felt different. Why? Then it clicked.Today was my twenty-fifth birthday.I slipped out of bed and into the hallway of Sunrise Mansion, where sunlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows.“Good morning, sir,” my domestic staff greeted.I offered them a curt bow and headed to the dining room. One of them even mumbled, “Happy birthday, sir.”A faint smile curved my lips. “Thank you,” I replied, before turning to my tablet on the table.As expected, there were several missed calls and texts from my parents and siblings. I browsed through the messages, then returned the calls, starting with my parents.The phone rang twice before connecting. My mother’s face filled my device’s screen, calling from the master bedroom of Green Oak Mansion.“Good morning, mom.”She beamed. “Hello, Nat. Happy twenty-fifth birthday,

Chapter: FINAL CHAPTEREmily’s POV.Three years later...“...ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,” Calix counted with his eyes closed and the pups wouldn’t stop giggling as they scurried about the castle’s garden in search of the best spots to hide.The afternoon sun bathed the castle in its warm light. The trees were perfect green and sparkled with leftover dew from the morning. The sky was blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze.Leia and I were seated on a plush picnic blanket, beneath the shade of a grand willow tree. We watched the game unfold with amused smiles.My ladies-in-waiting—Brielle, Laura, and Adalyn were arranging refreshments on a low table in a corner; pouring tea and engaging in quiet chatter.Rowan, the eldest of my triplets, laughed as he hid behind the water fountain. Caius his brother, crouched behind a thick rosebush near the garden’s stone pathway. Aurora, my only daughter, found one of the most creative hiding spots, slipping beneath the desse

Chapter: CHAPTER 85 Emily’s POV. Few months later... Leia’s anguished cries shattered the stillness of Nirian Castle. Brielle, Laura, and Adalyn, now my ladies-in-waiting, ran around in the room, seeing to it that everything was in order to receive the baby—several staff members stood by, ready to assist. I sat on the bed with Leia, gently massaging her shoulders as she endured the throes of labor. “What's happening?” I asked the midwife. “Why is it taking so long?” “Everything is fine, Your Majesty. The baby has just crowned.” I might not be conversant with all medical terms, but ever since I discovered I was pregnant, I have read extensively. Crowning meant the baby’s head had appeared at the mother’s opening prior to emerging. I turned to my mate’s cousin and massaged her back. “You’re doing great, Leia!” I encouraged. “You’re almost there.” She let out deep huffs and, with another cry, pushed… A tiny feeble cry of a baby filled the room. The newborn squirmed, covered in blood

Chapter: CHAPTER 84 “Calix!” I cried. He sucked my n,pple, licking, nipping so gently that I forgot how to breathe. I arched my torso towards him, willing him to take more. His lips curved into a satisfied smile before running a tongue on my entire bre,sts. Calix expertly dragged his tongue to my other brea,st and enclosed my ni,pple with his mouth. Reopening my eyes, I moaned as the sensation of his tongue engulfed me. He was sucking me, biting me, teasing me in a way that made my core throb for him. “Calix, please!” I begged. “Yes, bella. What do you want?” “I need you,” I blurted. With one last tease, Calix straightened, his eyes utterly darkened with need. His gaze locked on mine, he grabbed his member and guided himself to my entrance. “You’re so wet and ready for me,” he said, searching my gaze. I moaned as he flicked his rod at my entrance before pressing forward. I gasped and gripped his shoulder for support. Each time he pressed inside, I huffed because it felt as though my

Chapter: CHAPTER 83 Emily’s POV. We arrived at the royal garden and Calix gently lowered me back to my feet. Something tells me this wasn’t our destination, but when I glanced at Calix, he was removing his clothes. A flush crept up my neck, my skin prickling with anticipation. Ever since the night Calix and I marked ourselves, we hadn’t made love. “Let me guess, we’re going to be making love in the open air tonight?” I asked. Calix, who was already bare-torsoed, nodded and also twitched his eyebrows as though undecided, before proceeding to remove his boots and then trousers. In a moment, he stood stark-naked before and my poor breath hitched in a way it has never before as I stared down at the strength coiled at his groin. Calix smirked. “I was thinking it was high time I introduced you to my lycanthrope.” “Gabriel?” He nodded. “Are you ready?” My heart thumped with excitement. I smiled. “Yes, I am.” Calix threw back his head and a guttural growl escaped him. His ears elongated, ja

Chapter: CHAPTER 82Emily’s POV. “Are you ready?” my father asked through our mind link. “Yes, I am,” I replied him. A pang of nervousness curled in my stomach as we entered the Sacred Moonlit Court and took our first step down the aisle. But then, I looked at the ceremonial arch and my gaze locked with Calix’s. His gaze softened, and he offered me a reassuring, very charming smile. My heart melted. I broke into a grin just as every chain of anxiety shattered. I scanned the gathering. Standing to my right were Elara and her parents. Calix had invited them after officially introducing us to each other three days ago. Elara smiled and gave me a small nod. My father and I approached the altar. My gaze settled on the Tyrese council members, they stood in the front rows of the court towards my left. Their eyes were wide with intrigue as they studied my father—the alpha who’d haunted them for years. Of course, that was before Calix entered the scene. And to my right, the Nirian parliament st

Chapter: CHAPTER 81 Emily’s POV. Five Days later.... The courtyard bustled from the arrival of guests. They moved in groups, their laughter and camaraderie weaving through the evening atmosphere. Inside the royal dressing room, Brielle and the handmaidens, and the royal stylist worked harmoniously to get me ready for my big day. A knock rapped on the door and Leia walked into the room. She was already dressed for the occasion, styled in a sleeveless dark blue gown. It hugged her form elegantly. Her hair was styled into a crown halo, making her look every bit the noblewoman she was. “You look absolutely breathtaking, My Lady. Goddess above! You were born for this,” Leia purred as she crossed the room and joined me before the tall mirror. “Hello, Lady Leia,” I greeted, taking in her radiant appearance. “You look absolutely fabulous.” “In this?” she asked, teasingly lifting the hem of her gown. “Are you sure?” “Yes,” I affirmed. She grinned. “Randolph chose everything himself—the dres
