Human realm. King Finn. “How are you, mate?” I asked as I walked into her room. I tried to kiss her, but she refused. What had I done to her to keep rejecting me? “Good morning, King Finn,” she greeted me politely. She bowed her head in total respect. “What has come over you, mate?” I asked, pulling her closer. “Why are you treating me like this?” “How? What do you mean?” She asked, as if she didn’t know what I was talking about. “I don’t understand you.” “Have I done something to upset you?" I asked, trying to be gentle. It had been days since I brought her here, and she hadn’t allowed me to kiss or sleep with her. I thought mates were supposed to be inseparable, but she was different. Was she afraid of me because I killed my soldier? “You did nothing. Let me go.” “We should talk.” I tried to touch her again, but she yanked my hands away. “We have nothing to talk about, Your Majesty,” she replied firmly. “Was it because I killed him? Are you scared of me because of that?” S
Torn between duty and her.King Finn I stepped into my private elevator and pressed the button for my office. As the elevator ascended, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. I had worked hard to get to where I was, and now I was the CEO of a successful company. The doors opened to my spacious corner office.“Scott, call the manager for me,” I instructed, opening my office door. “Yes, sir.” I took my seat, and Daniel stood beside me.“Daniel, you can take your seat.” “I’m okay, sir.”“Sir!” I laughed. “So fast!”“We’re already in the human realm. I should address you as ‘sir’ since we are here.” “Okay.” A knock came on the door. “Come in.” Scott came in with Rita. “Sir, you called me.” “Rita, I need you to call all the members together. I need to address them.” “Yes, sir,” she said before walking out. “Will you be here for some time, your majesty?” Scott asked. “No. I have a mate now,” I replied. “I need to finish this soon to go meet her. I hate keeping her waiting.”
You're not fit to be his queen.Lisa’s POV. “My lady, why are you treating King Finn like this?” Linda asked. “I don’t understand. He’s your fated mate; you should be kind to him.” “Linda,” I sighed. I wished she could understand the turmoil I endured in Alexander’s hands. “I don’t want to get involved with anyone again.” “My lady!" Linda implored, holding my hand. “I understand your ex-mate treated you poorly, but I don’t want you to mistreat him. I can sense that he is in love with you. He truly loves you.” I gazed at her in disbelief. “Linda, that won’t be possible. I’m sorry.” Not admitting that I wasn’t drawn to him would be a lie. I felt a pull towards him, but the fear of getting entangled with anyone again, especially a Lycan king, held me back. “You should reconsider your decision.” “It’s okay, Linda. I don’t want to be enslaved again or bonded to anyone in my life. I detest anything associated with mates,” I muttered. “You should understand me.” Despite his kindness to
The spy.King Finn. I woke up quickly, took a bath, and got dressed. Today was the day I finally got to see that traitor. I stood in front of the mirror, combed my hair, and once I was satisfied with my appearance, I opened the door and walked out. “My king, good morning to you,” Daniel greeted me. “Good morning, Daniel,” I replied with a smile that reflected the excitement I felt inside. I was looking forward to reuniting with my beloved. Today was the day I would return to the kingdom, back to the one I had missed so much. The thought of her, the mere idea of being in her presence again, stirred a profound sense of happiness within me. I had yearned for this day, the day when the distance would collapse, and I could hold her in my arms once more. “I can see that you’re happy,” Daniel remarked, sensing the joy emanating from me as we exchanged pleasantries.“Of course, why won’t I be happy, Beta?” I responded, happiness evident in my voice. “I will get to see her. I know she mus
The Hunt.King Finn.We walked out of my office. “Scott, I will be back when you find that girl.” I needed to see the girl everyone was praising. “Yes, sir.” I got into the car, and Daniel drove back home. “You’re back, sir. I thought you said you would be leaving today.” I stepped out of the car and straightened my clothes neatly.“Yes, we will be leaving now.” Daniel parked the car, and we headed to where the portal was. After stepping inside the portal, the portal immediately teleported us back to our realm. It’s good to be back. “How do I look, Daniel?” I inquired. “Do I appear presentable? I’m about to visit my woman, so I want to make a good impression.” “Yes, Your Majesty. You look so good.” “Really?” “Yes, sir.” “Thank you. I need to go see my queen,” I said, hurrying back inside the palace. “You should wait for me, your majesty.” “Do not follow me.” “I knocked on her door but received no response. After a brief pause, I knocked again, hesitating to enter without he
The human realm.Lisa’s POV.I had nowhere else to go but the old house where I lived with my mother.“We’re here, Linda,” I announced, opening the door of our home. As we entered the old house, memories flooded back, and the dusty atmosphere indicated the passage of time. It took us several hours to clean up.“Goodness, I am so tired,” I complained, lying on my bed.“Is this the place you live with your mother, my lady?” Linda asked.“Yes,” I replied. “And you should stop calling me my lady. I want you to call me Lisa.”“No. I can’t do that, my lady. It would be so rude of me if I called you that.”“Look here, Linda; this is a different world from where we came from. This is a different realm, and we need to blend in like humans. So calling me by my given name will make you one instead of my lady.”She stared at me before speaking. “Okay. I’ll stop calling you that, but I will add ma’am to your name.”“Gosh! How can I make you understand?”“My lady.”“Linda, this is not the werewolf
Back to work.Lisa:“Who’s there?” I asked.“Open this damn door, girl.”“What?” I quickly opened the door. It was Janet.“Good to see you again,” she said, pulling me in for a hug. “Where have you been, girl?”“Janet. It’s been a long time.”“Sister, do you know who she is?” Linda asked.“Yes, she’s my friend.” I led Janet to the sofa. “Sit.”She stared at me as if she were just seeing me. “Where have you been, Lisa?” she asked again.“I went for a vacation,” I told her, lying through my teeth. I didn’t know how to tell her about werewolves and Lycan stuff.“Really?” She stood on her feet. “Where’s your mom?”“My mom?” I looked down. My mother, my best friend. “She’s gone, Jane.”“Gone to where?”“I mean, she’s dead.”“What! Oh, my goodness. How? When? I’m so sorry, Lisa.” Janet tried to comfort me.“Are you okay?” She asked.“I am. It’s been a while since she died. I’m okay, even if it’s going to take me a long time to forget about her death,” I replied. “I’m sure she is fine over t
Meeting him.Lisa.“I know you can’t know him since you’re not the team leader of the department,” he said. “Come with me; I will take you to see him. He’s the one directing the company on behalf of the big boss.” He led me to somewhere I had never been before. I had worked for this company for two years without knowing we had a place like this."Please say something nice about me in front of him; I would be grateful if you could.""Okay." Forget it. I would believe that he had changed for the better. He knocked on the door.“Come in." I heard the voice behind the door. Mr. Peter walked in with me.“Good afternoon, sir,” he said, greeting him with respect.“Good morning, sir,” I greeted him. I couldn’t help but stare at the stranger in front of me. My heart raced. My body tensed and trembled in fear. I was filled with a sense of dread and uncertainty. Was he the Lycan king? He looked exactly like him. I needed to leave here. I backed away.“Hey, what’s wrong?” he asked, standing up fr
