Nicholus’s POV:

“So yeah, I have tightened the security around the borders and made all the arrangements in case we’re attacked again,” Ethan informed me of the military situation.

I nodded my head curtly and said tightly, "Very well. I want us to be fully prepared for any future attack."

Ethan assured me that he had taken matters into his own hands and I needed not to worry.

Nodding at him, I reached over the piled-up files on my desk and plucked out the blue one. It was a full-fledged plan and proposal by Alpha Maddox, King of the East, about to convince me to hand over the rights to manufacture BloodMoon Merlot to them.

As I read the contents of the file, Ethan leaned back in his chair and assessed me with careful eyes.

I was fully aware of his stare at me and even knew what was going on in his head. I waited for a few more minutes before grunting, "Say it, Ethan."

He straightened up, "Nothing to say, Alpha. I just have a question I'm really curious about."

"Ask away," I mum

    Ember's POV:I woke up to someone shaking my body vigorously. As soon as I peeked open an eye, a severe wave of headache split my skull into two.I winced in pain as I forced my eyes open and blinked several times to focus. Sophie was hovering over me with a deep frown on her face, "Oh, thank God you opened your damn eyes," her hand flew to her chest, "I thought that you went into a comma."I groaned while rubbing my forehead, "What happened?"She widened her eyes, "12 pm happened, Your Highness."All the grogginess vanished from my body as I abruptly sat up on the bed and screeched, "What? 12 pm? And I slept in?""Again," Sophie groaned.And then her eyes roamed all over my face and her frown deepened, "Are you okay, Ember?"She sat on the mattress beside me and said with worry, "You don't seem fine to me. You have gone so week in just a matter of few days. You sleep in every other day, don't have the energy to train, and I've noticed that you've even lost your appetite."I pinched m

    Ember's POV:Sophie and I stayed on the lawn for the next few hours and gossiped about all random things until she received a text from her mom, who asked her to run some errands.Sophie wanted me to tag along but I was feeling too tired to do anything productive. So I stayed behind and sprawled on the grass for a little longer.An hour later, I finally forced my legs to stand up and return to the castle.Walking through the corridors, I was about to take a turn toward the stairs when my eyes caught Damon playing chess in the hall. Something about him made me stop in my tracks and I couldn't help staring at him.He was playing alone, all by himself. He seemed so lonely at that moment that I got flashbacks of my own childhood before Sophie came into the picture. I used to be alone just like him.I remember vividly how I used to play all by myself. Being a princess, I was never short of toys but what fun do toys bring when you don't even have a friend to play with? Yup, that's why Sophi

    Ember's POV: "When did you come back?" I asked Sophie after seeing her sprawled on my bed. "Just a while ago. Where were you?" she inquired lazily. I made a beeline to the bed and flopped beside her, "Downstairs. I was playing chess with Damon." At that, she turned over and faced me, "Should I ask why?" She seemed confused. "Why do you sound so surprised?" I blurted out. Her eyebrow twitched higher, "Because the last I checked he was still a demonic soul traveled down from the deepest pit of Hell." Remembering our last encounter, I muttered tightly, "He still is." "And yet you seem to spend so much time with him lately," she stated while eyeing me. "First, you are overly exaggerating. Second, what point are you exactly trying to make here?" I jumped straight to the point. She heaved up on her elbow and asked abruptly, "Are you attracted to him? Do you like him?" I screeched out in shock, "What?!?! Like seriously, Sophie? How can you even think such a thing?" She shrugged no

    Ember’s POV:After breakfast, I met Sophie on the castle lawn and we took a stroll while talking about random things. And when she started telling me about the wedding preparations, I zoned out.My thoughts were all over the place. I still hadn’t allowed myself to ponder and analyze my decision to get married to Arnold Pierce. As far as I was concerned, he was the perfect candidate. And the fact that Father chose him and I agreed to it kind of gave me an upper hand in the situation.So, whenever a pair of pitch-black eyes full of darkness and demons haunted me in the dreams, I told myself that I was only doing what was necessary to do.I was getting married in about 3 days and the castle was brimming with preparations. Royal invites had already been sent to the invited families and prominent figures of the South.While Sophie was babbling about the bridesmaid dress, Anna sauntered over to us and bowed, “Your Highness, Ms. Tacy is looking for you.”I dipped my eyebrows, “What happened?

    Ember's POV:Two days before the wedding, Father invited Alpha Arnold Pierce for dinner. It was a formal meeting between Father, me, and Arnold where we disclosed to him how things would be after this marriage.Father relayed to him the plans for my coronation right after the wedding. Furthermore, he informed Arnold that his pack would be resolved and join with our pack. Arnold himself would lose the title and rank of Alpha.As he didn't belong to the Royal Family, he wouldn't be given the title and rank of King even after our marriage. He would only be bestowed with the title of Baron, the least one in the monarchy. It was necessary to make sure that he wouldn't have any significant power to cause any ruckus in my reign.Father made it clear to him that he wouldn't have any direct connection to the throne and wouldn't have any direct say in the political as well as social matters of the Empire. After Father, I would be the sole authority to make the decisions I deemed fit.To say in

    Ember’s POV:Rooting his feet on the ground, Damon leaned forward until he reached my eye level. Refusing to look him in the eyes, I jerked my head in the other direction because I still remembered how he insulted me and somehow forgot to apologize.Of course, the man didn't care about any of that.Tilting his head to the side, Damon said in a mocking tone, “Had a nice chitchat with your Prince Charming?”Tilting my head, I took in the gray clouds covering the sky, and huffed a loud sigh, “As usual, none of your business but of course, you never get that, right?”Damon clicked his tongue, “As your POTENTIAL friend, lemme tell you just for the record. He can promise you his sheer respect, loyalty, and affection but when it comes to ardent love and passionate devotion, he isn’t capable of that.”At that, my head flung toward him and I glared into his eyes, “You were eavesdropping,” I squinted my eyes, "You really have no concept of boundaries, right?"Straightening up, he simply shrugge

    Ember’s POV:My throat clogged at his confession and I swallowed the lump in my throat. I bit my bottom lip and wrapped my arms around me in a protective manner, “Why are you making things so complicated?” I asked in a small voice.His eyebrows drooped lower and his shoulders slouched as he whispered helplessly, “Is it that impossible for you to love me back? Do you really despise me to the point that you can’t even consider such a thing? What exactly have I ever done to deserve this much hatred from you?”Tears prickled at the back of my eyes, “I don’t hate you, Damon." I paused and took a shuddering breath, " I don't wanna hurt you but…” I shook my head vigorously, “But I…I can’t do it. It's impossible.”Another thunder growled in the sky, depicting Damon’s feelings and my turmoil. And then, all of a sudden, it started raining. Big, fat raindrops pattered on the ground.Stealing one last glance at him, I turned around and started sprinting toward the castle. My mind was a chaotic mes

    Ember’s POV:Suffocation was a small word. I was feeling so constricted in my own body that it felt like the whole world was crashing into me.I was grateful that Damon did not follow me this time or I would have exploded with rage. Maybe he too was too shocked at the revelation to show any other reaction.Entering the main door, I sped past the hall and whipped around the corner. Reaching the staircase, I took two at a time. If Ms. Tacy had been there she must have scolded me that such manners didn’t belong to a Princess let alone the future Queen but at that moment, her validation was the least of my concerns.Keeping my pace fast, I ran through the corridors and didn’t slow down until I got to my private wing. It was only when I reached my bedroom did I stop.I was panting heavily as I grabbed the doorknob and kicked it open. Slamming the door behind me, I sauntered to the table and gulped down the glass of water in one sip.Flopping on the couch, I grabbed my head and took deep br

    Ember's POV: When my mind processed everything and I came back to my senses, the first instinct was to comfort him but I resisted the urge to go after him. He was very angry and I didn't want to add fuel to his rage. Deciding to give him some time to cool off, I took off the bathrobe and changed into PJs. With slouched shoulders and a foul mood, I walked into the bedroom and flopped onto the bed. After such a hectic day, sleep kicked in the moment my body touched the mattress. The spot beside me was cold and empty. I missed his presence. I missed how he'd either spoon me or hug me. I missed sleeping to the sound of his heartbeat beside me. I forced my eyes open and decided to wait for him. I kept glancing at the clock. It struck 12, then 1, and then 2 before my already tired body couldn't take it anymore. With the thought of waking up in his arms, I finally drifted off to sleep. The next morning, I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. As soon as my eyes open

    Ember's POV: After showering, I tied the bathrobe around myself and tiptoed toward the closet room. I was going through my PJs when the hair on the back of my neck stood taller. That always happened when he was nearby. Would my body ever get used to his proximity? He was lingering at the doorway, waiting for me to acknowledge his presence and when I didn't, he let out a deep sigh, "For how long are you going to keep ignoring me?" Not making any attempt to answer him, I kept sifting through the clothes in the almirah, pretending to be busy deciding what to wear. All of a sudden, a chill ran down my spine as he came up beside me, too near that I could feel his hot breath on my cold skin as he said tightly, "I am talking to you, Ember." Yanking the random PJ set out, I snapped sharply, "And can't you see I'm not interested in talking to you?" Slamming the almirah door shut, I jerked around. Without bothering to cast him a glance, I just walked around him. But I had just taken a ste

    Ember's POV: During the entire ride, I kept my face toward the window, staring at the night lights as the car sped on the road. I could feel his unwavering stare boring holes in my back but I did nothing to acknowledge his presence. Apparently, the silent treatment was just not sitting right with him because he finally ended up opening our mindlink, "Are you okay?" I kept my face fixated on the window, too angry to answer him. How dare he behave like that? Carrying me over his shoulder as if I was some stubborn kid? And that too in front of everyone? Ridiculous! He waited for a few minutes and when I still didn't answer, he tried again, this some more gently, "Will you let me see your wounds? I need to make sure they're healing properly. I don't want them to catch any infection." Again, he was met with only silence. Was he not going to talk about how inappropriately he behaved or how rudely he talked to me? Maybe I was exaggerating but considering I'd never imagined him talking t

    Ember's POV: The world seemed to slow down around me but at the same time, everything felt to be happening in the fast motion, way too quick to process properly. In my peripheral vision, I saw a guard lunging forward but before he could even reach us, another rebel gripped him by the throat and yanked him away. I choked as the blood gushed out of my throat. With trembling hands, I managed to grip his wrist and tried to wriggle myself out of his death-like grip. But all my efforts were in vain. He was strong. Way too strong for me to take down. I tried to use my hypnotizing power on him but because of my weakening strength and loss of consciousness, I was unable to muster up the magic. Blood rushed to my ears and soon, all I could hear was a loud ringing and nothing else. Tears welled up in my eyes and my vision blurred. My eyes were fixated on the demonic, creepy smile stretched over his face as he relished in my misery. But the very next moment, I frowned slightly as I saw his

    Ember's POV:My mind was too shocked to register the sudden turn of events. I and Darius jerked our heads toward each other at the same moment and the next thing I heard was his ear-piercing scream, "Protect the Queen!"All of a sudden, someone gripped my wrist in a death-like grip. My gaze shot down to see fingers clasping around my wrist. I was just about to lift my gaze when my head whirled toward the door as the loud banging erupted in the air before someone yelled from the other side, "Open the damn door, Samuel." Someone else screamed, "How dare you invite the daughter of the enemy into your pack house? Are you declaring a war against us?"Samuel turned to his wife. He was no longer looking like a sweet old man I had a great time chatting with earlier. Instead, he looked every bit of a deadly warrior as he commanded Luna, "Take Queen and the girls to the safety bunkers. You must protect her at every cost, Carolina."The hold around my wrist instantly tightened before suddenly ya

    Ember's POV:Darius stayed by my side as we took a quick tour of the packhouse before settling in the living room. After a few minutes of talking about random things, a maid strolled inside with a rolling tray laden with a kettle, cups, and all sorts of desserts.“Aw, Carolina, you didn’t have to do so much. Only tea would have been enough,” I said with awe.She shook her head, “You requested us not to arrange for the lunch. Even though we wanted to but we decided to respect your request. So, please enjoy the tea.”Pouring the tea in the cup, the maid placed it on the table in front of me before picking a plate, “What desserts you want me to serve you, Your Highness?”Sliding forward, I grabbed the plate from her hand and smiled up at her, “It’s okay, dear. I’ll serve myself.”She went still for a moment before finally straightening up, “Sure, Your Highness.”My mouth watered as I greedily eyed all the pastries, donuts, custard pies, and fruit tarts. I was about to pick the chocolate

    Ember’s POV:As soon as I stepped out of the castle, I came to a sudden halt while gasping aloud.With wide eyes and a shocking voice, I screeched, “What the hell is happening here?” while pointing at dozens of black SUVs parked outside with almost half of the North army standing guard beside them, ready to hop in at their Alpha’s command.Nicholus raised his eyebrow as if there was nothing ridiculous going on, “I only agreed to this plan of yours because you agreed to go with high security, remember?”I sucked in a sharp breath, “I definitely didn’t think you were talking about this ‘high security,’” I groaned while waving my hand toward the guards.Nicholus took a deep breath and twisted his neck, “You refused to take me along with you. If I’m not going, then they’d all go instead.”I rubbed the back of my neck, already tired of discussing the matter for infinite times, and gritted out through clenched teeth, “In case you forgot, let me remind you again of the purpose of my visit.

    Ember's POV: The next morning, I woke up with Nicholus's arm wrapped around me. As I tried to wriggle out of his hold, he squirmed in his sleep and tightened his hold, "Mmhmm, where are you going?" I glanced over my shoulder at his adorable, groggy eyes he was squinting at me with. "I have to go," I replied. He groaned, unhappy with the answer, "No, don't go anywhere. Just stay here and give me morning cuddles."At that, I burst out laughing loudly, "People would call me crazy if I'd ever tell them that the ruthless alpha of the North just said those cheesy words to me."Moving his hand to my bottom, he spanked my ass playfully, "You naughty, little princess, why would you tell anyone about what happens in our bedroom?"I giggled under my breath, "Good thing that the room is soundproof or otherwise I wouldn't need to 'tell' them about what exactly happens in our bedroom."Snuggling closer, he licked my earlobe and whispered roughly, "Yeah, because your loud screams and hot moans wou

I just wanted to restore my energy to appear fresh and energetic while making my first public appearance.But despite everything from lighting the candles with soothing aromas to drinking the herbal tea, I was unable to find sleep. Hours passed and I still found myself tossing and turning on the bed as restlessness zinged inside me.There was a ball of nervousness inflating inside my belly as I thought about tomorrow. Even though after careful consideration, we've shortlisted the smallest and most welcoming pack for our first visit I just couldn't help thinking about the worst outcome.I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door creaking open. I glanced over my shoulder to find Nicholus closing the door behind him.As he turned around, a slight frown appeared between his brows, "Why are you still up? Is everything okay?" I caught a hint of worry in his voice as his eyes roamed over all over
