~Ramon~

A sharp whistle broke through the air, coming to an abrupt halt when a smack landed at the back of the whistler's head, causing him to choke.

"Quit catcalling, would ya, Brent?"

"What the— Jake!" Brent spoke in between coughs, his face turning beet red, his hand massaging at his chest, veins making themselves known on his forehead—causing the leaving girls, who he was catcalling, to burst out in giggles so hard his face burned another shade darker in shame.

He threw a glare at the grinning Jake in anger, his hands fisted by his side, and I knew that was my cue. I took a step forward, separating the both of them.

"Alright guys, cut it out," if not, the next second fists would fly and a brawl would happen.

"Arrgh!" He let out a growl of frustration. "Ramon, at least let me at him. He's always doing this—ruining my show."

Jake shook his head. "You know you've got a mate, Brent, and that's unfair. I'm just halting a future disaster."

Brent took another step forward, his chest pres

  • His Captive, His Mate, His Queen    Chapter 43: It's Too Late Too Regret

    ~Ramon~For the first time, I couldn't recognise the man seated before me. I shook my head, repulsion twisting my stomach into tangles. I wanted to throw up.But I managed to squeeze out, "Do you know what he wanted to use her for?"For the first time, my father averted his gaze, and that's how I knew it could never be something good.Yes, there was peace without her, but the price of that peace was bought with her suffering — it was too expensive."No, no," I shook my head. The world spun. I staggered backwards, holding onto the wall to steady myself. 'How would she have felt? Betrayed? Angry?' I couldn't imagine. The hollowness in my heart throbbed.Father stood up, his chair screeched backwards."Ramon, don't look at me like that. It was necessary at that point. Prince Radu gave us things in exchange for it.""You traded a wolf for gifts, Father. How do you sound so okay with that? Are her parents e

    ~Alessandro~Huu. I exhaled, the air turning white before my eyes."If there's nothing else, we would take our leave," I thundered, tugging on our entwined arms. I walked away, a pattering of footsteps followed after me."How do you do that?" a breathy voice asked. I eyed her from the corner of my eyes, cheeks flushed, eyes sparkling with an unusual vitality—She looked different? Somehow? But I shoved the question away, instead answering her."Do what?" I slowed my pace, while she slowed down from her trot to a walk. As we walked side by side, her shoulder occasionally touched my elbow."Like… make all of them listen to you… and respect you, sometimes even if the elders don't seem to love it—" she cut off her words, sneaking a look at my face."Continue." That was all I had to say before she continued."I'm trying to do that, but I freeze up, a-and…" trying to find the right words, she looked around."You can't think, or it comes out the opposite of what you imagined?" I inserted, ve

    ~Ioana~A hand slipped into mine.My jaw dropped open in shock, my head snapped to the left, staring at him with my eyes wide open. What—what is he doing?Everything else faded away—the chatters, the murmurs, the bone-piercing stares all went away—until it was only me and him, hazel on gold, his hands in mine. Complicated emotions went through his eyes.He sighed. "Stage fright?" he scoffed softly. "It would be a shame if you embarrass me as my mate. Don’t think too much." His hand gripped mine tightly, pulling me forward. I stumbled after him, my heels clacking against the floor. Heat crept up my cheeks.How could he say something like that? He halted before the railing, staring down at the crowd, his face emotionless, giving only a nod of greeting to the elders."Prince." Elder Thalvorn gave a curt nod, while Elder Caldren inserted sharply by the side, "We thought you would be too busy to grace us with your presence after all…" He smiled snarkily, his chin jutting out, joy spilling

    ~Ioana~"Queen, you're here just in time. We were about to break the news to our citizens, and I'm sure they'll want to hear you speak to them," Elder Caldren drawled, eyeing my trembling self with skepticism.Elder Caldren coughed. "Leader," he whispered to Elder Thalvorn standing beside him. Gaining his attention, he stated, "The people are waiting, sir.""That's true, we can't keep them waiting anymore," he concurred. Then, in a loud voice, he addressed the puzzled crowd. "People of the New Moon Kingdom! The time may seem—very scarcely do we call meetings like this in a short span of time since our last meeting—the coronation. But if our memory serves us well, you would remember that on the night of the coronation, something spectacular occurred."Immediately he mentioned this, like a spark being ignited, discussions detonated through the crowd. Everyone was whispering, hands flying in the air, wildly gesturing, eyes bright like the stars. Elder Thalvorn waited for some minutes, bu

  • His Captive, His Mate, His Queen    Chapter 38: Public Humilation

    ~Ioana~One: I had gotten nowhere, like a raft on a turbulent sea. I could capsize at any time andTwo: Both Elder Thalvorn and Elder Caldren wanted to strike at Alessandro, he had always been the target and… perhaps I wasn’t taken seriously from the start.No wonder they had that strange smile in their eyes, something that couldn't be covered up.Elder Ysara’s words flashed through my mind, “Puppet ruler.”An awful picture of me bowing my head to Elder Thalvorn ran through my mind, causing a shiver to zap through me.By the time I came back to my senses, I was in my room. I looked out the window; a blanket of darkness greeted me."Madame, are you awake?" a familiar voice came from beyond the door."I am. Come in, Vivian," I ordered, my voice hoarse. I coughed lightly as the door softly creaked open and chocolate-brown hair popped in. Holding a tray, she walked in, lightly pushing the door with the tip of her toe. Watching as it shut, she turned."Oh my! Your Majesty! Please rest!" Pl
