RONA'S POVIt has been one week since Richard went to the war front, yet there's no news of his return or impending victory.I have tried reaching out to the gamma in charge of internal affairs of the empire and castle, Liam Davis, to no avail.Am I worried about him?Nah! Impossible! It can't be!But I need to act like a caring and devoted wife now, shouldn't I?I walked downstairs and three guards immediately followed me, to my surprise."What's wrong?" I asked, turning to them."The emperor ordered that we escort and protect you wherever you go," one of them quickly explained.I frowned and nodded.He was probably worried that his niece would try to attack me again.I sighed and turned towards the entrance."I heard you were asking about the palace that belongs to gamma Liam Davis" the first guard said again."That's right, I went to the administrative quarters but I didn't find him" I quickly answered."There's a palanquin waiting outside. Your retinue will carry you there. Or do
RONA'S POVLiam always had a reputation of being cold.Richard and his three closest aides are always known for their cold arrogance, dominance and strength.However, his temperament is the coldest of them all.He's an introverted warrior and I have never seen him smile, no one has."It's Lord Liam Davis to you, not Liam!" He said coldly, looking up at me.I smiled calmly."And why do I need to address you by that title?" I asked with a calm smile, going to sit before the zither.I began to calmly play it while waiting for his answer."I'm Lord Liam Davis of the northern fortress, king of blue moon territories and the commander of the emperor's heaven's mandate armies. Address me properly and don't embarrass yourself" he said haughtily, in that characteristically cold way of his.I smiled again and stopped playing the zither, maintaining my smile."I'm the emperor's woman. You serve my husband, so why do I need to be servile before you?" I asked coldly, watching him clench his fist an
MEDIEVAL WOLFDOM; FLAME BLOOD WOLF PACK. PRINCESS RONA CAMPBELL'S POV Tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday when I will finally shift. Well, I was pretty much excited. There are some rare bloodlines that shift at fifteen or less, but mine was not that privileged. I didn't mind it though, our wolves were very powerful. Besides, no matter the age at which you awaken your wolf, the mate function and bond remains dormant till eighteen. So why the hurry? I heard lots of people screaming. Smoke was choking me, almost as if something was burning. I was probably having a nightmare. I rolled on the bed as I tried to separate the noise from my dreams, from reality. However I couldn't. People kept crying and screaming. I began to cough severely, making me force my eyes open. The smoke was not from my nightmare, our castle was on fire! "Princess wake up!" I heard my mom shout, running into my room. The sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes, and I quickly sat up in alarm. My r
RONA'S POV I was blinded by pain and wanted nothing more than to rush the evil emperor and face him myself. The fact that his men were looking for my mother and I to kill us too, meant nothing to me. My mom dashed into a secret corridor, dragging me along. She was still crying profusely. However, tears never clouded her reasoning, unlike me that's plain confused. My legs were still shaking in horror and I couldn't stop crying. "You will go to your mate's pack to take refuge, I'm sure he will hide and protect you. That's the only option now" my mom whispered, as we entered the tunnel. Mate? What mate? Since when did I have a mate? "Which mate?" I asked my mom, still shivering as she dragged me along. "Alpha Kenzo Stewart of Raven pack is your mate. It has been long we found out, but we blocked you from feeling the mate bond, according to the priestess's directions. However, Kenzo knew you were his mate and tried to claim you. He felt the mate bond during your father's birthd
"Why will the goddess give us such a mate?" My wolf wailed in my mind. "I Alpha Kenzo Stewart, reject you princess Rona Campbell as my mate!" He said coldly. I staggered as pain blinded me. "Now get her for me!" He ordered his men. "In your dreams!" I howled as my wolf took over. My mind went blank immediately, while she took over my consciousness. What I realized next was me back on my horse, escaping in a haste. "Ara, how did you do it? How did we escape?" I asked. A series of memories flashed before me, and I saw her transform and tear the person behind us apart with her claws, before jumping over the blockades, all in a few minutes. She also sprayed something on them that momentarily blinded them, before mounting the horse. "Thank goodness your mom packed the delirious powder for us!" She said, as I increased my pace. Tears dripped down my face at Kenzo's betrayal. Even though I didn't know his identity as my mate, we had gotten close in the past few months, and I regar
RONA'S POV "Princess, princess. Princess wake up already, stop scaring us" I heard someone calling out to me. My head felt woozy as I opened my eyes. "Thank goodness" I saw a young girl, kneeling over me. What the fuck? Where am I? I sat up and looked around. There were men dressed in guards' apparels and armor, in addition to some girls in costly maid apparel. It's obvious that they came from a very rich kingdom or pack. I looked around and saw a body of water stretching as far as the eyes could see. Wait, I fell into water? How did I end up here? Why are they calling me princess? I looked up at them. They all looked pissed off at me and resentful. As if they're being forced to do a chore they hate very much. "Princess, this is becoming too much. The Alpha king is pissed off at you. We had to search for hours before we found you floating at the lake. What if you had gotten washed into the sea before we arrived? You keep throwing silly tantrums! I wonder why you keep re
I found myself walking down a dark stairwell. I came into an abandoned garden and entered a cave. I immediately stopped in my tracks when I saw the source of the attraction. There before me, lay a girl that looks exactly like me, seemingly dead. She was dressed in white silk, almost the same design with the one I wore when I got washed up here. "Wow! You indeed look exactly like me" I heard a voice say. I looked towards the voice and gasped. The girl was standing there with a cute smile. However, her body looked semi transparent. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm princess Erica Miller, daughter of Alpha king Harvey Miller, of the ice flame territories. Wow, what's your name?" She asked. "Rona," I whispered. "Our names have almost the same meaning. Please help me to resurrect. I have been calling for help to no avail. The only one that could hear me was you, because we share a connection. If you help me, I will give your wolf my ice crystal, to stabilize its condition. I will also
CHAPTER SIX EMPEROR RICHARD'S POV I watched the expressions on Erica's face flicker and change into a plethora of different emotions. She had been very happy and excited. However, the moment she looked up at me, her expression was replaced with fear and disgust. Despite my effort to reassure her, she was still staring at me in horror. I passed my mask silently to my Beta and reached for her. However, she took a step back, avoiding my touch. My eyes narrowed in confusion and I angrily caught her arm. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you look so scared of me? What the hell is the fucking problem?" I yelled at her. "Your mask is scary. Let go of me, you look scary" she wailed. I looked at the mask in my Beta's hand in confusion. What is so scary about my golden mask? I sighed. She's a little girl who has always stayed locked up in her father's castle. Things that don't mean a thing to me can probably frighten her. I sighed as the realization that I just got myself
