“What? Pardon?" Nicklaus said unsure of what Derek meant. Why would a powerful alpha like him want his sister to become a second wife when she was one of the strongest Luna in the land."You know that my sister Rita likes you. I would of course like her to get married to someone who isn't already married, but I know she won't accept someone else than you.""Did she tell you that?""No, but I know my sister." Derek said. Nicklaus sighed, he already had enough problems on his plate and know he had to deal with yet another problem."I have a meeting to attend, think about what I said carefully." He said looking displeased himself before he left Nicklaus to stand alone there."Your highness, as your personal adviser I suggest you take princess Rita as your second wife." Dalton said who had been listening to their conversation."You need a friend at the moment, not another enemy. Besides taking her as your wife will help you even when you become the next alpha, I am sure her highness will
Nicklaus paced back and forth in the room as he waited for Tiana. He needed to speak to her today, be honest with her and tell her about the situation with Rita. That would be the right thing to do he thought.The smell of food interrupted his thought. He couldn't remember the last time he enjoyed food or sex. No wonder his demon was hungry to come out.A few maids came in with the breakfast and started serving. Now and then they would look his way and blush. He was used to maids ogling at him but this time something was off."Your Highness the breakfast is ready." A maid informed looking down as her cheeks turned red.Really what was wrong with these maids?"Yes, you may leave."They bowed and left giggling. Nicklaus continued with his pacing not giving a thought to why the behaved like that until Tiana came into the room. She was wearing a simple light pink gown and her hair was still wet from the bath. Oh, how he wanted to run his fingers through her hair.He quickly put his hands
“His highness is going to marry Rita?" He asked surprised. Tiana guess he didn't know about that."Yes. The king wants him to marry his sister in exchange for help.""Oh…but how can I help you?" he asked. Tiana wasn't sure how either but she wanted to stop this."Your highness I just want to tell you that if you stop this we could all die.""I know" Tiana said quickly. "I want to stop this without us dying, that's why I need your help." She hoped he could come up with something."There is only one way to stop this. It is to change Rita’s mind about the marriage."Tiana knew that was the safest way but she knew it wouldn't be easy because Rita would do anything to get Nicklaus."How can we change her mind?""That...we will have to think about." He said thoughtful."What about other allies? Is there someone else who can help his highness?" Tiana asked."No. You know prince Nicklaus has a reputation." He said. I knew what he meant.Speaking of reputation, Tiana still had to figure out wh
Tiana rubbed her eyes as she woke up. Strangely she slept well after such a long time. Could it be because Nicklaus was sleeping next to her?Tiana looked over at Nicklaus and found herself admiring his beauty again and wondering how someone can look as sinfully beautiful as he did.As usual she could only admire his beauty while his hypnotizing eyes were closed and again her naughty fingers itched to touch him. No, she wouldn't make the mistake of touching him again while he was asleep. she had embarrassed herself enough last time. '“Only his hair. I would only touch his hair,” Tiana convinced herself and slowly brought her fingers to touch his hair when he frowned. Was he waking up? His frowned got deeper and he mumbled something looking disturbed. Was he having a nightmare?"Nicklaus?" Tiana said carefully and tapped his shoulder but he didn't wake up."Who are you?" he hissed in his sleep."Nicklaus! Nicklaus! Wake up!" Tiana called shaking him slightly. His eyes shot open and he
“I... I was a bad wife, a useless one. Yes, I never gave anything to Nicklaus and there was nothing I could give him now either, on top of that because of my selfishness I could cause his death.Rita was right, I didn't even offer him my body and got angry when he went to someone else. I was indeed selfish. I didn't have the right to be angry when he never got angry with me for not sleeping with him. The only thing I have done so far is being scared or jealous.” Tiana lamented to herself. What Rita told her hurt her to the core.What really have she done for him? What great have she done so that she could tell him not to marry someone else because she was good enough? She couldn't say that because she wasn't. her kingdom could not even help her husband."My lady? Are you alright? You look very pale." The maid who was brushing her hair asked."I am alright." Tiana said."Should I bring dinner? Maybe you are hungry.""No, I am fine. I'll go to sleep."Tiana was running in the middle of
Nicklaus should feel relieved but he didn't. He was bothered, extremely bothered. Why wouldn't Tiana mind if he married Rita? Didn't she like him anymore?After she told him she didn't mind she had left him there, confused. Something was going on with her and he didn't know what. It made him nervous. He sighed in frustration."Is something bothering you?" Nicklaus asked."Any news?" Nicklaus asked in return ignoring his question. His youngest brothers Milton and Silla and l died. Milton killed Silla and then Milton got killed by Paul. That how twisted his family was they were true predators.Ezekiel might be sly and cruel but Paul was purely evil. He was the one who bullied Nicklaus the most when they were younger."I think Paul is working with Ezekiel. Ezekiel must have promised him something." Nicklaus already knew Ezekiel was using Paul and as soon as he is finished with him he could kill him, but Paul was probably thinking that he was the one using Ezekiel.Nicklaus knew that Ezek
Death doesn't knock on the door and waits to get invited. It usually comes unexpected and without permission takes what it came for.Tiana quickly placed herself in front of Nicklaus as if she could protect him from what was about to happen, but to her surprise nor did death knock on the door nor did it come. Instead several of Nicklaus’ men almost threw themselves in front of their feet."Your Highness, we apologize for our rudeness but please help us. The crown prince has taken our families as hostages." One of them said. Tiana looked worriedly at Nicklaus but he was calm as usual."Your Highness, I beg of you to let us go and save our families." another one pleaded. Dalton came into the room looking furious."What are you doing?" He yelled at the men. "Get up on your feet and apologize to his highness if you care to live.""It's fine Dalton." Nicklaus said calmly. "You may leave to save your families," he told the men.Tiana looked surprised at Nicklaus. He was about to let half of
"Who are you?" Tiana asked the maid who made the room look like heaven. It smelled so fresh, like flowers starting to bloom in the spring. Tiana could also smell the scent of cinnamon tea combined with something else she couldn't tell, but it smelled delicious."I am your new maid. My name is Reilla My Lady" she said curtsying."Where is previous maid?" Tiana asked. The maid she was assigned for was young nice girl whom she liked very much. She didn't want a new maid."She has been transferred to Princess Rita quartered, My Lady." The maid said.Rita. she was tired of hearing her name. Tiana signed, she took her robe off and sat at the table where the scent of the delicious tea was coming from."Would you like some tea, My Lady?" Reilla asked. Tiana couldn't say no because she really wanted to taste this tea and see if it tasted as delicious as it smelled."Yes please," Tiana said. Reilla poured her the tea and handed it to her with a smile."It will help you relax, My Lady." She said
