Ember's POV:

After training, I returned to my room, took a quick shower, and dashed down the stairs to arrive on time to have dinner with family.

When I reached the dining hall, everyone was already seated there and waiting for me.

"Sorry, I got late," I excused while handing Milo to the maid.

"It's okay, we've just arrived," Luna said sweetly.

As I sat down, Darius groaned dramatically, "Couldn't you hear my poor, empty stomach grumbling all the way through your room?"

I rolled my eyes, "Oh, please, I literally saw you indulging in chocolate cake just an hour ago."

He popped out his bottom lip, "That was just a teeny tiny piece."

Ethan huffed from beside him, "You ate half of the damn cake, Darius."

As they started their bickering session, Nicholus whispered beside me, "How was the training today?"

I saw Luna gestured at the maids to start serving the dinner before turning my attention back to Nicholus, "It was good. Usual stuff."

He nodded and started staring at his plate

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 226

    Ember's POV: Three days later, we were getting ready to go to the South. Nicholus wore a jet-black suit with a white crisp shirt and a black tie. I couldn't decide what to wear. I didn't want to wear anything royal that would associate me with the North. I mean, what would be the point of this visit then? I tried to go for a look that would be a mixture of North and South representatives but that would be too much. I didn't want to give out any signals and I knew I would be assessed from head to toe.At last and as usual, Luna came to my rescue and suggested me wear a neutral-colored dress. She said it would show my neutral take on the matter and wouldn't provoke any tension between the two states.So, I decided to go for a beige color gown that looked elegant and simple at the same time.I was getting ready when I heard a knock on the door. Nicholus opened the door and Darius's voice poured inside, "Where's Ember? I need her urgently."I sauntered outside the closet and saw him stan

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 225

    Ember's POV: At last. After ten days of waiting. We received the letter from the South. As soon as Nicholus mindlinked me, the book I was reading fell from my hands and thudded on the floor. Picking it from trembling hands, I discarded it on the table and dashed out of the room. My heart was thudding loudly in my ribcage. Taking a sharp turn, I entered the corridor and saw Ethan and Darius coming from the other side. We all rushed into the office where Nicholus was sitting with a letter in front of him on the desk. He was eyeing it as if it was a ticking time bomb. My heart lurched up my throat as I recognized the leather binding. As the North placed their letters in the cylindrical box, the South wrapped its Royal Parchment in the leather binding. Lunging forward, I wrapped my fingers around the leather and picked it up. My heart did a quick flip-flop. After so many months, I was holding something from the South. Closing my eyes, I lifted it to my nose and took a deep

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 224

    Ember's POV:It's been three days since the letter was sent to the South.Three days and there was not even a whisper of response.Three days of heart-wrenching silence. No one discussed the delay but all of us were constantly thinking about it. No one said a word but tried to give hope to each other with eyes.I was going crazy while wondering about Father's reaction. Was he surprised to receive a word from the North? Was he furious? Did he even read that? What if he refused to read it? I just hoped he didn't simply throw that away. He wouldn't do that, right? But honestly, I knew my Father and there was a high chance that he did exactly that...My train of thought halted as someone shook my shoulder. I whipped my head to see Darius standing in front of me.His eyebrows were dipped, "What are you so lost in?"I shook my head, "No, nothing."Staring at me with assessing eyes, he sat beside me in the gazebo, "I know you are thinking about the letter."My frown deepened, "How do you kno

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 223

    Ember's POV: Today, after breakfast, Nicholus called for a meeting. I was strolling on the lawn with Luna when I received the mindlink. By the time I entered his office, Darius and Ethan were already seated there. The air seemed thick with tension. They were talking. They were engrossed in their own thoughts. I made my way toward the desk and Ethan shot up from his chair, offering me to sit down on his spot. I was just about to refuse but he was already on his way to bring another one closer to the desk. Mumbling thanks to him, I settled on the chair beside Darius who was sitting with a stiff posture. Turning his gaze to me, he shook his head in disappointment, "I can't believe you guys were cooking this behind my back. Why was I not involved?" he complained. I tried to explain, "We were just discussing it on and off. Nicholus needed me to say yes before he could finalize anything. But as soon as I agreed, we involved you guys." He deadpanned, "Exactly my point." I sto

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 222

    Ember's POV:It had been one week since Nicholus and I had that conversation. He must have expected that I'd agree right because he seemed baffled when I asked him to give me some time to think.Such decisions cannot be taken in the heat of the moment. And at that time, I was an emotional, heartbroken mess so I didn't wanna take a decision I won't be able to live up to.Last night, I was standing in the balcony, gazing the stars twinkling in the sky. I sniffed him before I heard him.Looking over my shoulder, I saw him making his way into the balcony.Making a beeline in my direction, he wrapped his arms around my belly and hugged my from behind, "I love coming to you after a long and hectic day."I placed my hand over his on my belly, "Indeed, the favorite time of the day."We stayed there, just like that, lost in each other's embrace, wrapped in each other's warmth.Staring up at the moon, I hummed, "Nicholus?"He kissed me at the spot between my neck and shoulder, sending tingles a

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 221

    Ember's POV: With tears on the brink of my eyelashes, I dashed through the corridors and went straight into my bedroom. Slamming the door shut, I stumbled toward the bed and flopped down. For a long minute, I kept sitting on the edge, clutching the bedsheet, and staring at the wall ahead with so many things going on in my mind and emotions in my body. My vision blurred and that's when I felt hot tears spilling out of my eyes. My shoulders shook as my low weeping turned into ugly sobs. Slowly, I lay on the mattress and buried my face in the pillow. Why? Why did he have to do this? Why did he hate me so damn much? Lucas? Really? He chose him to rule the empire that was his pride? What was he thinking? Did he really believe that Lucas was worthy to rule the South? That dumbwit clown had no sense of how to rule. He was never meant to be the King and hence was never trained to be one. He never made any political appearance. He never interacted with the people of the South. Was Fat
