Mag-log inSeth's POV:I stood by with a glass in hand, watching the horrendous show of my king dancing with such a lowly creature. To top it off, my son decided to make of show of tangoing with that woman as well. The way in which they interacted with one another, whispers began to circulate. I slowly strode around the room, my eyes fixated on the duo. "They look rather good together.""Who is that human?""Do she have some sort of relationship with the king?"I listened with great irritation to the conversations that began to spin around the rumor mill. My fingers tightened around the thin glass stem that sat between them. Lucius looked a little too chummy with the girl for my liking. I looked over. Prince Cersai stood as still as a statue, never allowing his gaze to slip away from them, arms tight around himself. I frowned.Why even allow this to happen?My gaze filtered up to the king and princess. They watched the duo dance as well, casually talking, all while keeping a lazy eye on my son.
Connor's POV:Anxiously, I waited. Everything was finally coming together, but my anxiety won't ease until I have my prize in my hands. It all seemed to be happening quickly, which gave me pause. I received a call from my trackers yesterday night, and it ended with a video call from someone very unexpected.Flashback...I was in my office late, going over a few particulars. I was slowly trying to expand my territory. After giving up a piece of my land all those years ago in order to have a claw in Blackcresent, I was beginning to feel as though I gave it up for nothing. That was until I saw her. From that moment, all my future endeavors revolved around and included her. I'm a man that can wait, especially when in that patience my reward is great. A knock came from my office door. I responded haphazardly, never tearing my gaze from the papers on my desk."Come in."I heard the door creak open. Footsteps approached my desk. I knew it was my beta. Only he has the authorization to interru
Kwen's POV:My gaze slipped away from the girl I've come to know as Nina, back to the king. He looked down at me, concerned written all over his face. I took a deep breath."I don't believe those families dabbled with dark magic. I would smell it, but they don't smell clean. That's the only way I can put it for now."Julian nodded, not looking around anymore. Neither of us wanted to draw attention. We continued to sway for a bit longer. As we moved, a faint smile found its way to my lips."What's the smile for?"Julian asked, mirroring my joy. I broke out into a smile, looking up at him."I never thought I'd get a dance like this.""A dance like what?"He asked. My eyes found their way to my dad, my smile falling some."When I was meant to be hidden away from the world, if there was some sort of gathering at the pack house, I would sneak to the hall, usually from the outside garden, and watch everyone inside. People would join hands and dance around. It was all so elegant. Beautiful.
Kwen's POV:It took a bit, but I was finally ready to head to the gathering. The women looked at me in awe, gasping and clutching imaginary pearls."You are incredibly stunning!"One gasped out, as the other 2 nodded their heads in agreement. I smiled, rising to my feet. I walked over to the full body mirror, and was shocked myself. I looked damn goodt!!"Damn."I whispered out. The women giggled. One scurried behind me and began pushing me towards the door."Go. Go! You're already late as is.""Have fun."The last one said to me, wiggling her brows. I laughed as I exited. I walked the halls and began to head towards where the gathering was meant to be held. I noticed people were still filtering in. I ducked off behind a wall, peeking round the corner. I saw many faces. One thing I can definitely give to these supernatural beings, they be sexy as fuck!! I mean, I love a good beast, all brute and bulky. But some of these lean, muscular men, with sharp and soft features, and hair silkie
Julian's POV: I sat upon my throne, looking out on the people. Alpha Brandon and most of his people has already arrived. Many were welcoming, while some looked at the new comers in suspicion. Although I loved seeing and participating in the festivities with my people, I couldn't fully enjoy. My mind was elsewhere. Seth has felt slighted by my resistance in forcing Ismelda into a mates bond with his son. I was more willing to do so before meeting Kwen, but I could not ignore her warnings. The fire in her eyes when it came to protecting my child, even from me, told me many things. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Leddy was not wrong in her assessment. Kwen moves and talks with the wisdom of a person double, even triple her years. I've heard a fraction of Kwen's life, and I can see the pain behind her eyes when she speaks on what she knows from experience. As much as I'd like to have a better understanding of her myself, I know whatever she tells me would break my heart. A ge
Kwen's POV: It was late morning when I finally woke up. Truthfully, I was awakened due to a knock coming from my door. I begrudgingly slid out of bed, and zombie walked to the door. Fucking Cersai and Regin are gonna get cussed the fuck out for this! Halo purred in my head. 'It hurts so good.' 'Speak for yourself, hoe.' I retorted. She snorted. 'I was.' Halo clapped back. I snickered. I keep forgetting we damn near the same person. My hand turned the handle, then stopped. I looked down. I was completely naked. I rolled my eyes. Oh, come on. I snatched the blanket off the bed, and rushed to the door. I opened it, and to my suprise, I see the king, himself. "Thank God I grabbed the blanket, otherwise, this would've been 10x more awkward." I said, being 100% serious and not serious at the same time. Again, the king's cheeks lit up in a fine shade of pink, looking away. "Pa-pardon me. I know it's rather rude to show up unannounced." I shrugged with a smile. "It's all good.
Brandon's POV:I was at a lost for words. I watched the entire scene play out in front of me, yet I still couldn't believe it. Voices grew loud. Prince Cersai rose to his feet in anger, almost rushing his way over towards Sierra. His beta and gamma held him back. I watched the emotionless faces of
Brandon's POV:I watched as Sierra left the room crying. I have never felt more like a failure in my life than in that moment. I have absolutely failed all of my children, in one way or another, and I can't seem to fix it. Kwen's words weighed on my mind.Is that how she saw me?Was that who I was?
Sierra's POV:My eyes glanced at my daddy. He hasn't looked back at me since that girl left. I was pissed that no one came to my defense with her threatening me so publicly. I don't get it!! I've always been defended, and she'd be mocked and ridiculed. Now, no one even bothers to look my way. I've
Cersai's POV:It's been a hard couple of weeks. Since Kwen has come back from her mystery adventure, where she brought back Miza and Melody, and James's parents have returned, Kwen has been preoccupied with training. I've barely been able to see her. It's beginning to affect Reign and I. She trains
