Claiming Back His Throne 27|Meeting
I woke up in the morning with discomfort all over my body. I rarely get sick because I exercise regularly, maintain my diet, and rest well. It seemed like two nights of going too far on my four paws had made my body protest. My face was pale, so I covered it with makeup. I didn’t want to just lie in bed. There was a lot of work today. Besides, Wednesday was the day of the meeting with Maddox. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to find out the progress of the investigation into Axel’s pack. “The more I look at it, the more green color suits you,” Garrett teased. “Do you want your hair to be colored with green, too?” I glanced at his blonde hair, which was slightly darker than my original hair color. “It suits you, but doesn’t mean it suits me.” He stuck out his tongue. “The culprit will get her reward someday. If not from me, then from someone else.” I stood up and then approached Mom. “I’m leaving, Mom.” I kissed her cheek, then kissed Dad. “See you later, Dad.” Axel was waiti

[Axel] I chose the dungeon as the first place I went to, where they kept criminals. I knew the location because Devon had shown me. I didn’t expect all that information to be helpful to me in the end. It was a shame that our good relationship had come to this. I considered going in and confronting all the guards. But not many people knew I was alive and even survived the river. Maddox said the King ordered that my situation stayed a secret until the investigation was complete and the perpetrator was in custody. I let out a long sigh. Who knew when the King would solve this case? I waited so long to be able to meet him and tell him everything that happened that night. It would be better if the royal investigators interrogated Rory instead of me. I approached the nearest window and listened to the guards’ conversation. It was just chatter about how they were doing with their new partners. I moved to another window. There was also no information regarding their new captive or my stole
Claiming Back His Throne 29|Heat
[Cora]The second Axel let me go, I felt fire burn through my body. The heat. That was the reason why I woke up so weak in the morning. I thought it was because I ran back and forth to a distant place two nights in a row. It explained why I was sick, but Garrett was perfectly fine.I knew where my brother would take me. Thankfully, Axel came along and sat in the back seat with me. I couldn’t, or wouldn’t, refuse his embrace because I needed it so badly. The heat radiating throughout my body lessened every time I felt his touch.Arriving in the middle of the forest, the heat burning through my body became unbearable. I couldn’t control myself from kissing and caressing Axel’s icy body. Would I die from this heat?He helped take my clothes off and laid me down in the bathtub filled with water. The liquid could help reduce my body heat, but it didn’t have the same effect as his kiss. He even did me a favor by giving me as much water as possible. I gulped it greedily.‘Finish the mating,’

His blue eyes were getting darker, and he pulled me on his hard chest. “I know he’s your friend, but I don’t want to hear his name on your mouth when you’re half-naked.” He took a deep breath. “I can smell your arousal, and it drives me crazy to hear you mention another man’s name.” “I don’t—” I felt another heat wave, but before I knew it, he kissed me. “You must learn to obey, Cora. I don’t like my mate talking back every single time.” In one motion, he pulled my t-shirt over my head. I couldn’t reply because he kissed me and put his hands everywhere. We had days together, so I let him have me the way he wanted to. I was scared a little when he brought our bodies together because I was sore. Beyond my imagination, it was just a little sting followed by pleasurable sensations. It crept from my core to my whole body. The next day, we fought for domination. My curiosity won, and I wanted to explore his body. How could touches and kisses feel so wonderful? Was it because he was my ma
Claiming Back His Throne 31|Reason
[Axel]I pushed aside the nagging guilt of spending days making love to Cora. I deserved this. I deserved to be happy with my fiancee on her fertile period. I didn’t betray my pack. Instead, I saved our kind by reproducing.That was why I was not afraid of having children so soon. I would build Scarlett Sky Pack from scratch again. Slow but sure, we could restore everything, starting with my little family. I wanted to have as many children as possible and as many as Cora wanted.I would think about the funding later. I was sure the thief of my pack’s wealth could not spend all that money, jewelry, and securities in one night. Whatever’s left over, I could use to rebuild.Cora’s parents were pleased when I asked permission for their daughter to live with me. They also readily gave their blessing to my intention to marry her. After experiencing so many misfortunes, I couldn’t believe everything was going so smoothly to organize my future.Although the sound of the television and our con

After lunch, we walked to the guardhouse as usual. I took Cora’s right hand, where the engagement ring was. I played with it with my thumb. This costly ring I had to pay Garrett in installments. My situation without any money was very embarrassing.I had no other way to convince her that I meant it. This stubborn woman would rather die than mate with me at her most fertile time. A decision I couldn’t blame her for because I was the one who selfishly asked to break up if Ryder didn’t come back.But I did not regret everything that happened between us. Moon Goddess chose a great woman to be my partner. She was a second chance I never thought would be bestowed upon me. Therefore, I would take good care of her.“What’s wrong?” asked Cora, slowing down her pace.“What do you mean?” Did I accidentally say something out loud?“I feel your soul is in turmoil. Are you okay?” She watched me intently.“I’m just grateful for having you as my mate.” I released my grip and put my arm around her sho
Claiming Back His Throne 33|Announcements
[Cora]What a strange meeting. Uncle and Aunt had been okay with Aspen the previous day. But they seemed very tense during the discussion. Aspen voiced her opinions as usual, but her in-laws expressed their disapproval in front of us. They usually kept quiet even if their daughter-in-law’s opinion didn’t make sense.Something had happened, but I didn’t know what. What big mistake had Aspen made that made Uncle and Aunt look unhappy? It wasn’t easy to upset them because they were big-hearted couples, easily forgiving others’ shortcomings.The most beautiful thing that happened today was everyone was so kind to Axel. Orso knew something had happened to Axel’s wolf, but he promised to keep his mouth shut. Then, I was surprised by the news that Uncle Carwyn and Aunt Rhiannon shared.They were kind enough to help Axel rebuild his pack. Any amount of money in the world couldn’t repay that kindness. Their generosity touched me that my future husband would have his home again.When Uncle Carw
Claiming Back His Throne 34|Ambush
[Axel] My life was complete. Mating with Cora and receiving her parents’ blessing for our wedding changed my sorrow into rejoicing. I had nothing, not even my wolf anymore, but my mate accepted me unconditionally. His parents and siblings were also very kind to me. ‘Ryder, when are we going to meet? I need you now.’ It was not a surprise when I got no reply. I didn’t get it. How soon was his soon? It had been days since the last time he talked to me. How much longer would I have to wait? Amid the uncertainty, I was delighted when I heard Uncle Carwyn and Aunt Rhiannon offered to be my guardians as my parents’ representatives. I didn’t know what kindness they had given people during their lives, but they still looked after me even though they were gone. I promised in my heart to maintain a good relationship with Royal Blue like my parents had done. I had been close to Blood River because Devon always approached me whenever we met. The other alphas rarely reprimanded me. I regretted
