AUDREY'S POV I sat still as Alara took her time styling my hair. For an occasion as such as that which would be taking place today, I was supposed to be happy. But that wasn't the case. That wasn't the case because I was getting married to my subject of my worst fear. For a moment, it made me think about Denver. Denver. When last did I think about him? Suddenly he had come to mind, and I figured I missed him terribly. I wondered if he was going to be here alongside my brother today. After the drama at the annual ball, my parents had been ordered by the king, to stay behind until after the wedding ceremony was done. My brother and some relatives were expected to show up today at the ceremony, and I was very expectant about seeing Denver. I knew he was gonna laugh in my face and remind me of how I was eating my own words, about not having a weak mate. "My lady, you look breathe taking." Alara said, cutting off my thoughts. She grinned widely, and I could see her reflection
AUDREY'S POV The king had really set out to make this wedding a huge one. I had always heard rumours about how he favoured Logan over Sebastian, and I was finally seeing it for what it was. We were presently at the wedding reception, and the entire hall was filled to the brim. Alphas and Lunas of every pack were present today. Since the reception began, I had been obligated to welcome and show our appreciation to the Alphas and other high ranking wolves, who had come from far and wide to grace us with their presence. I was already fast getting tired, when Layla came and pulled me away from her brother. I may not have liked her, but her singular act of good service towards me hadn't gone unappreciated. "I noticed you were already getting tired, so I thought to rescue you for a moment." She chuckled. "Thank you." I muttered. "You're welcome. Just sit here, while Alara gets you a flatter shoe or a pair of slippers to put on. Your legs must be aching too." How did she
LOGAN'S POV Alpha Ryan. He was here, and I found it hard to believe. His face was a hard one to miss, considering the times he had visited the palace when we were still younger. The cold aura around him was equally a hard one to miss. Cold, but powerful. The only hybrid to ever exist in the bloodline of Alphas. It was safe to say he was the strongest Alpha in our kingdom. "Come with me, let's give him a warm welcome." I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to see it was my father. With a confused nod, I followed him. "Ahhhh! Ryan." My father walked up to him and gave his right shoulder a friendly slap. "Your majesty." Ryan gave a stiff nod, before looking at me. Thankfully, the initially quiet hall had continued with their business by then, so it didn't feel like all eyes were on us anymore. "What?" His question was directed at me. "You no longer know me?" He asked, almost sounding hurt, but his cold mannerisms helped conceal it. "That is something I truly fear." I
AUDREY'S POV I stirred in my sleep, consciousness seeping in little by little. When the sun rays became brighter, my eyes flung open. Staying in my position for a couple of minutes, I reflected on all that had happened the previous night. My eyes went to the couch, and I frowned a little when I didn't see him there. I hope.....? Quickly turning to the other side of the bed, I released a sigh when I saw he wasn't there. What I would never do, is lie to myself. After Logan had kissed me on the cheek yesterday, I slowly began to understand what the queen had said about the mate bond. Truly, the moon goddess had created such an insanely powerful bond to keep mates together. When I thought of how much my body had reacted to a simple peck from him, I decided to be on a safer side. Keeping him far away was my best option. I was grateful for one thing though, and that was the fact that I was naturally repulsed by the idea of how weak he was. That would definitely go a long way in h
LOGAN'S POV I opened my eyes and released a tired sigh. I just woke up from my sleep, but it didn't feel like I had rested at all. Instead, my whole body felt cramped and exhausted, and it was all thanks to this barely comfortable couch I had been sleeping on, for days now. Call me pathetic or weak for letting her treat me this way, but I would call it patience. I would call it endurance. I really wanted things to work out between us, and if sleeping on the couch would make her happy, I would do so. And no, I wasn't begging for love. I was simply trying to make things work out with the one person the moon goddess thought was best for me. I looked at the bed to see her fully awake, but unaware of my consciousness. She seemed to be lost in thoughts of her own. I stood up from the couch and tried to crack a stiff bone in my neck. While at it, she eventually noticed my presence. "Good morning." I managed a small smile, expecting her usual silent response, which she didn't fail
AUDREY'S POV I hated this feeling! I was never the type to feel so guilty over anything, but since he left in anger, that crippling feeling of guilt kept chipping away at my heart. As I stepped out of the shower and dabbed my body dry, I walked into the bedroom, to see he had not yet returned. 'Even if he did, what would you say or do?' My wolf mocked, making me glare at her in my head. She was right though. I may feel so guilty, but I wouldn't give him an apology, even if he may have deserved it. Just then, a knock came on the door, and I figured he was back. Thankfully, I had already threw on my floral print dress. "Come in." I replied, and the door opened to reveal Alara. Oh. "Good morning your highness." She greeted with her head bowed. "Good morning Alara." "I have a message for you from the king." "The king?" I asked in suprise. "Yes, your highness. He has asked that you appear before him as soon as you can. He would be in his study." My mind pondered on
LOGAN'S POV When I opened my eyes and looked beside me, she was gone. She had most certainly woken up much earlier than I did. For the first time in days, I felt rested. Lazily hopping down the bed and walking towards the bathroom for a pee, I opened the door, only to see a naked Audrey in the bathroom. The moment I saw her, I stood immobile in my spot, finding it really hard to take my eyes off her perky and standing breasts. "What the hell are you doing?!" She yelled at me in embarrassment, clasping her thighs together to cover her pussy, and cupping her breasts with her hands. "Get out!!!" She yelled angrily, and I found myself rushing out of the bathroom. I paced around the room, trying to endure my urge to pee, and reliving the scene that just took place between Audrey and I, over and over again. At the thought of her breasts, I felt my cock swelling in the confine of my joggers. Goddess! Why was I suddenly sweating so hard? As I got harder, the urge to pee increased, m
AUDREY'S POV "Audrey, please could you pass me the salad?" Liam requested, and I nodded. Stretching my hand to the salad bowl, I handed it over to him, who took his time scooping it generously onto Layla's plate. "Is this enough for you? You need more?" He whispered to her, but we all heard him. I knew Layla and Liam had known each other ever since they could comprehend things, but their body language seemed a little bit extra at the moment. "I'm okay." She nodded as she scooped a spoonful of salad into her mouth. "Come here." Liam muttered, placing his index finger under her chin, and drawing her face closer to his. He used his thumb to clean off the little cream stain on the side of her lip, then proceeded to lick it off. Oh wow! "Hnnn.. hnnn..." Beta Justin cleared his throat, while looking at the both of them suspiciously. Even I, was very suspicious. "Layla, Liam..." The king suddenly called out, grabbing everyone's attention. "I think you should both let us kno
