LOGINRhys. " Can you not go?" She hesitated, but still asked, and for a short agonising second, I stood there, unmoving, too stunned to react. I couldn't believe it, and no, I couldn't accept it either. " Please, son." I was yanked back to reality by her vulnerable voice, and to stop myself from losing it, I clenched my nails into fists. She had told me to go and save my mate awhile back. She called it the price I paid for hurting Sabrina, and now? The moment my father expressed his willingness to come, if I ran into a hitch, her entire demeanour changed, and she was begging me to stay? And then, knowing the love that my Mom had for Sabrina, at her request, I wasn't just disappointed, I was alarmed, too. " Mom? What's wrong? You wouldn't want anything to happen to Sabrina while there, would you?" My voice was steady as I asked, a calmness that surprised even me radiating off me as I looked at her, gauging her reaction, taking in the expression that she wore when my question
Rhys. " Before Sabrina left, we made sure that she was well informed." My father's voice was tense and deeply disturbed as he explained. They had just finished telling me the story behind their bloodline and my father's royal roots. It turned out that he was actually a werewolf royalty, and to be more precise, he was the current Alpha King's cousin. But he gave up his royal status for love, for my mother. Then what did that make me? A royalty, a prince, not in the direct ruling line, but a prince nonetheless. And Sabrina? Well, just like I had guessed, she was related to the former Queen, and that made her a werewolf princess. And to be honest, that didn't come as a surprise to me. There had been a way that my late aunt, Sabrina's mom, had carried herself around that had totally distinguished her from normal werewolves. There was a different layer of elegance and grace to her that no matter how hard she tried to mask it, she just couldn't, and Sabrina had it in her too.
Rhys. " She needs a royal spouse. " She stated, her deep eyes holding mine, in assessment, as if she was trying to see if I was worthy.. " Sabrina?" I don't know why my mate's name came to my mind first when I saw the former Queen. Maybe, it was due to the undeniable resemblance between the two? The stubborn streak in the Her Grace's eyes which mirrored Sabrina's? " Yes. Sabrina. " She confirmed, and her answer had my heart missing beats and hope clouding my eyes as I looked at her. I had been searching for Sabrina for a month. Just like my Parents suggested, I had left the pack, left my Alpha duties to my father while I ransacked the whole kingdom, and all that with no results. To hear Her Grace, Queen Rosa concern her location, I wasn't just excited, my heart was beating with relief, joy, and fear, for unknown reasons. Yes. Especially when she gave that hard gaze, her wolf hovering on the surface, I knew, she wasn't about to hand me candies, and whisper Sabrina's l
Rhys. " But you and Sabrina are no longer married, son." There was a hint of pity in her eyes as she stated, and at her words, I abruptly rose from my seat, disbelief and confusion contouring my face. No longer married? That had to be the biggest joke, ever! But why was I already panicking? " You are lying, mother." I whispered, and I didn't care how desperate I sounded. " Well, what's up with the big reaction? Hadn't you always been in love with Amery?" She taunted, and for a moment, I was lost for words. " That's not true.." I whispered, and I found it hard to convince her, especially when I recalled how, on numerous occasions, I had gone up against them, just because I didn't want anything to do with Sabrina then, and I didn't want them interfering. " Well, you don't have to try too hard to convince me." She whispered, wearing a knowing look, and I let out a shaky breath. That was my mother. She always seemed to know things about everyone. Even what they didn't know ab
Rhys. " Your signature is required here," I was in my office, thinking about everything that had happened in the past few days when my Mom entered through the door, clutching a form and a pen. " That's very good, Son. You have just signed your own ticket to hell." Too lost, it was not until I heard her sarcastic voice that I finally snapped out of my stupor. Naturally, no mother could make their son sign a ticket to hell, right? Well, the same couldn't be said about my Mom. She was the only exception. And especially if it had anything to do with Sabrina, she wouldn't hesitate before escorting me to the hell herself. Speaking of Sabrina, a happy smile found its way to my lips as I thought about the last night. The intensity, the hot s*x, it was the best thing I had ever had. What she didn't know was, I had also been on heat, just like she had. And yeah, it had been her first too, and so had been mine. I had been in a relationship with Amery the entire time, but w
Sabrina. "It's understandable that he would save you." After a moment of silence, she finally said something, and yet, her statement did nothing to answer my earlier question. " Alpha Green is actually your uncle. " She whispered, and for a brief second, I fell into a daze, disbelief and confusion burning through me as I tried to process her statement. ""What did you say?" I found myself asking, my voice shaking with hope and disbelief. Alpha Green? My uncle? " Yes. He is brother to your late father." She added, before she looked away, as if she was unwilling to say more. I sat there, trying to process everything, and yet, nothing made sense at all. " Look, my dear. I would really love to say more, but it is not in my place to." " You have been with him for so long, but he never revealed it to you." She added, still not looking at me. " Maybe, he will properly introduce himself to you when the time is right.. As for your father," She paused, a bitter smile
Sabrina. ' Amery is sweet, caring, and kind, unlike you, Sabrina. Enough with your baseless accusations. Not everyone is as sick as you.' Unconcealed fury laced his words as he linked back, his words filled with a hint of protectiveness that was hard to ignore. And each word stabbed my heart d
Sabrina. "Hold this for me." My voice softened considerably as I handed the papers to Mark, the pack's Gamma. " Don't overexert yourself, Luna." He reminded, a layer of worry evident in his voice as he took a step back, creating some distance between him and the rogues. Yes. Unlike the bet
Sabrina. " Kill them, and dispose of their bodies. " I instructed, my voice hard and cold, leaving no room for doubt or hope. And the two rogues, they looked at me with hard gazes, their eyes blank, empty, devoid of any hope. They didn't even waste their time begging for mercy. They knew h
Sabrina. " Because I have evidence. " He declared, his voice, an echo of confidence and disgust. And the way he looked at me? His eyes were filled with so much hatred, that for a moment, self-doubt surged within me, accompanied by a gentle ache in my heart. I almost couldn't believe that
