DAVIEN~~Not to be impatient, but when can the Battle of Alphas happen, Your Majesties?Of course, he had to ask now. I could smell his impatience on him even though I had been keeping my distance. I could feel his hot glare each time he thought I was looking at him. I guess we were both impatient… I mean, I had been glaring at him too.Jarrett was impatiently waiting to duel with me so he could kill me. At least, that was his belief, but I wouldn’t let that happen because I had been waiting impatiently to kill him. After last night, I didn’t have any reason to hold back.Plus, he was never a great father to me anyway; therefore, we didn’t have the connection that would have made me think twice when I got to the point where I snapped his neck, breaking it like a twig.I expected Katie’s parents to respond instantly, but for some reason, they took their sweet time, eyes shifting between themselves and Katie. It was obvious that they were discussing it through the mind link, and I co
Princess Katie Anne~~“Katie!”Elora’s excited, high-pitched scream brought a smile to my face despite the kind of night I had with my moody mate. My parents' car was still on the move when I heard Elora’s voice, and as soon as the car was parked, my baby sister jumped out, running towards me with her open arms.“Oh, my Lora,” I muttered after I picked her up, holding her tightly to myself. “Gosh, I have missed you.”“Don’t get me started, Katie,” Elora breathed with obvious relief, her small arms snaking around my neck. “I had to make mom and dad bring me with them even though they refused the first thirty times I made a kind request.”Knowing how insistent she can be, I laughed as I tried to imagine her pestering our parents. My laughter soon faded as my parents walked up to me, showing off the affection I had missed seeing in their eyes.“Hey, my Princess,” my dad muttered, his emotions almost choking him as he wrapped his arms around Elora and me.The hug was meant for me, but
Princess Katie Anne~~“What kind of a mother are you?” I was too angry to care about respecting the woman sobbing before me.After listening to her and seeing how she handled the situation with Davien, who has been open to giving her another chance, I felt immense gratitude for my parents. For my mom, especially, because I have seen her sacrifice her happiness for me and my siblings many times.My mom would do anything for us, even if it means she has to live with the fact that we, or more precisely, I, hate her.“You don’t understand, and I don’t expect you to, Princess Katie,” Luna Cynthia muttered, wiping her wet face as she added, “Your life is so perfect. You have powerful parents, excellent siblings, and you also didn’t have to choose between two men—”“Are you kidding me?” I chuckled, disbelief clouding my senses. “My family was literally torn apart because of this realm. My ancestors still haven't reclaimed their ancestral land because it no longer feels like home, and have
DAVIEN~~I didn’t know what to think of her—the woman who gave birth to me. She gave me life, but she was involved in taking my father’s life. As her eyes glistened with emotions I could decipher, I held my breath, anxiously waiting to hear her say my dad’s name for the first time in my life.Eventually, after minutes of silence and harsh breaths from my mom, she chimed, “Brennan. His name was Brennan.”The unfamiliarity that came with hearing that name broke my heart because that was supposed to be my dad’s name, yet it didn’t ring a bell. All my life, I had never known any Brennan. Not once was he mentioned around me.“That’s because they tried to keep him buried,” Dolf spat within me, his rage as hot as Katie’s, even though he was sitting quietly beside me. “Trust me, you wouldn’t have found out you had a different dad if Damien didn’t let it slip. She would have let you die during that duel without knowing why you were treated differently all your life.”I swallowed the rage th
Princess Katie Anne~~Although I was against the idea of trusting Luna Cynthia and going with her to stay in her family’s mansion that has been deserted, Davien begged me to give her a chance because he needed to talk to her privately.Yes, my mate wanted to know more about his late dad and also hear from the horse’s mouth, AKA, his mom.It’s been three days since the last duel, and with the help of Nova, Jade, and a few loyal servants to Luna Cynthia, we were able to retrieve our belongings from the Alpha mansion, move them to the old building, clean it up, and get comfortable.It’s been three days of trying to be civil with Davien’s mom and also three days of her avoiding telling my mate what he was longing to hear. If she were a decent woman, I would have considered her feelings and thought she was hurting.I thought she was avoiding the past because she regretted or missed Davien’s dad.However, I couldn’t see past the heartless woman who chose to be Luna over fighting for a ma
Princess Katie Anne ~~ “Then so be it. I, Davien, challenge Alpha Jarrett, the current Alpha of Black Fur Pack, to the Battle of Alphas.” Pride coursed through me as I watched and heard my mate utter those words with undiluted confidence. I was proud of him because he stood strong even after discovering that his whole life had been a lie. He stood strong. But at the same time, I saw how he trembled due to weakness. He was exhausted from fighting Damien and emotionally drained. I would be, too, if I found out that the dad I knew wasn’t my father and had, in fact, killed my biological father before I was born. I would be jaded, too, if I were in his shoes. If I were being sincere, I was scared for him in that moment. I was worried sick as the audience roared, gossiping about the truth just revealed and Davien’s audacity to challenge Alpha Jarrett, even though he could barely stand without falling on his face. Quickly, I shook off the shock zapping through me and put a seal on a
