Candice felt awash with satisfaction.

It felt good to put smiles on the face of someone.

She wished she could gift her more, but the Head of staff would not let it slide. He was in charge of the domestic funds and ran the house on a strict budget, only making adjustments if and when directly instructed by his Lord Alpha. She would definitely gift Everette, Jason, Jordan, and Sally a little token before she said goodbye to them forever.

"What are you intently thinking about?" Bernice asked.

"Nothing interesting," Candice murmured as she walked over to join her on the couch. She had donned a simple green dress, dotted with white polka dots.

"You have been frequently spacing out these days, tell me what's on your mind?"

"I-I just wish that my life wasn't so complicated. Like this was some sort of dream, I was not in a parallel universe. I would just wake up and everything would be back to normal," her voice was strained, with all the pent-up emotions raging within her.

    Two days later.5:30 pm.The Great Arena, Central City.Plane Woede.Candice peeped through the crack of the door.She had opened it just a tiny fraction, so she could see into the vast corridor. This place was the size of a standard Olympic stadium. It could seat a total of a hundred thousand people.She was the item for the great gathering, yet she was confined to a tiny change room, in the enclave of the small outpost that marked the stadium's back office. A small provision of rooms was where all the operations were carried out backstage, before showing it to the public.Where was Wayne?She gritted her teeth in anxiety as she felt the pressure settle in. It was nerve-wracking, pulse palpitating, and teeth clattering.Her stomach was knotted tight while her heart was racing. She was about to make a big entrance into the world of the werewolves and it was taking a toll on her self-confidence.She wondered why Wayne had been aloft, all through the number of days that led to this very

    "I am busy, what is it?" Wayne drawled, going to take a sit in the corner of the room."I have been trying to talk to you for over a week now, but you keep rebuffing me with the same response "I am busy, let's talk later," she mimicked.He let out an exasperated sigh "Okay, I do not have a lot of time right now. I am here, you may speak."You may speak.How annoying, like she needed his permission to speak or express herself. She was not here to beg his permission; she was here to cut a deal. A smooth negotiation at best, and a rough haggle at worst."I wanted to speak to you about something," she began.When he saw her pause, he waved her on impatiently."You actually owe me a wish and I am here to collect on it," she stated.She saw his eyes narrow in a suspicious appraisal, then he linked his fingers on his lap and cocked his head to the side "Go on."Unsure of what his body gesture signified, she went on "I want you to allow Everette to go into fabrics and designs, to go to fashio

    He had just stepped into a black tuxedo when a light knock rapped on his door.He didn't bother to ask; he knew who it was. Without waiting for an invitation, the door was pushed open and Rojan walked in."Good timing, come help me with my cufflinks," he held out his hands to Rojan."What will you do without me?" Rojan said with a grin as he approached him, he received the small box with the jade blue cufflinks and began to roll his sleeves. He was wearing an oxblood V-neck, long-sleeve flame print shirt with slim-fitted coffee brown trousers. His unruly red hair was perfectly parted and styled with the curls sleek with wax."You clean up nicely Rojan, one would think you are putting more effort into your looks for a certain lady," he teased."I always look good," Rojan countered, then went on "How about yourself? One would wonder why you refused to compliment your mate. Does her beauty scare you? Scared you will fall hopelessly for her?"Wayne let out a scoff "You wish,""Yet here we

    She began to descend the stairs slowly, taking a step at a time.Wayne did not know when or how he had moved. But he was at the bottom of the stairs, waiting to receive her. When she reached the last step, he stretched forth his hand, for the second time tonight.She took it, letting him guide her down and onto the floor.This simple gesture made his heart tighten with emotion, she was entrusting herself into his hands, following his lead. And it sat heavy in his chest what he planned to do to her.Regardless, he would not change his plans.He turned around and addressed the crowd "The party is hereby officially open, enjoy yourselves," he said and they all clapped enthusiastically.He led her to a table at the corner and poured her a glass of wine "Care for some?" he offered."Is it alcoholic?" she asked."Yes, but it is a sweet red wine and not the rum you dislike," he explained and then added, "You look great by the way."She eyed him suspiciously "Is that a compliment?""Could be,

    An alarm rang in his head.He hoped she had just excused herself to use the restroom, to adjust her make-up, or mingle with the crowd. Still, he could not shake off the feeling of unease that seemed to race up his spine."Excuse me," he quickly said to Kefas and his family as he hurried off.He went back to the table and looked around, but she was not within sight. Rojan drew up beside him, sensing his mood swing "Is everything alright?" he asked."I told her to wait here for me and I don't see her anymore," he said, his voice deepened with worry."I'll circle around the perimeter outside," Rojan offered, springing into action."Do that, I will check within the mansion," he agreed, then added, "Please keep it quiet."He did not want to spook the guests and disrupt the party. He would search for her discreetly, he needed to fully assess the situation before coming to a definite conclusion.He walked up the stairs to her room, it was empty. He checked his bedroom, his office, and the oth

    It was not unexpected though, he knew they would try to belittle her.It was how they were wired; the royal family were a tough set of people and it was no surprise they would act this way.In fact, he had expected it, but not tonight of all nights, it was her party after all. That was why his queen needed to be someone strong to match them aura for aura. Unless they would trouble her peace and trample upon her.He debated within himself if he should intervene in the situation and rescue her, but this was a woman's affair. Wouldn't it be bad for his image to be seen meddling?"Then where do I belong?" He heard Candice ask, continuing the conversation."Anywhere but here, you are a human. You should be in your world and not here!" Peniel said rudely."Because of you, our chances at becoming Luna have been destroyed," Sheila's voice rang out in anger."You stole it, what should have been ours," Lola accused her.The conversation was becoming heated and he was planning to step forward to

    Rojan walked into the vast compound of the house.He stood in the middle of the interlocked parking lot, with eyes scanning the environment.He was looking for anything that looked suspicious or out of place. Everything looked calm and in order. Over a hundred coaches were parked inside and outside the mansion's surroundings. This place was teeming with tight security, as various defense personnel, both government and private were on duty, securing the area.His attention was drawn to an area at the back, where he saw a cluster of people. He started in that direction, intent on investigating it. He had only walked a few strides when he heard a loud yell.He knew that voice.His stride broke into a mild run as he hastened toward them, his pulse had quickened. He was just a few meters away when he heard Bernice yell again "Woah!"He practically shoved apart two men standing in front of him to get his way into their midst. Once he had parted them, he examined the situation.Clear blue eye

    "What is wrong with you Rojan? Stop spoiling my fun," she muttered irritated."Forgive me Bernice, but I can't let you do it," he said with polite disapproval.She ran a frustrated hand through her hair "Why can't you just relax and have some fun? Why are you always uptight and unhappy, just like Wayne? No wonder you both are best friends, alike in every way. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together."He stowed the pipe away in the side of his trouser "I am not unhappy. Wayne and I are not unhappy. And you are wrong, we are two different people with individual personalities.""Then why is it so damn hard to get you to do anything fun. You won't date me, you won't sleep with me, you won't kiss me, you won't dance with me, you won't let me smoke opium or whatever it is called. Everything is so black and white with you; you are no fun." She stated unabashed.His already pale complexion flushed in amazement at her open declaration. She had no filter with her words. She

  • My Lord Alpha   Chapter 137: The Lost Princess

    Her heart pumped hard in her chest as she tore through the woods.Mists swirled all around giving her the perfect cover she needed, but the hurried sounds of her feet gave her position away.Yet, she could not dare stop.She could hear their footsteps, hot on her trail. Two pairs of legs ran after her. As a nymph she was fast, but as werewolves, they were faster.The clouds of mist that was a blessing was also a curse, because it obscured her view. It seemed the mists seemed to get denser the more she ran deep into the trees.She had no idea the direction she was taking. Beyond Sabine's house, she was not familiar with the landscape. She barely knew her way around this plane. Whenever they left the house, she was always in Sabine's company.Not that she had gone out much, she spent most of her time crying and sulking the early days of her arrival.If she was thinking properly, she should be heading in the direction of the town. But right now, her head was messed up and she just wanted

  • My Lord Alpha   Chapter 136: Run If You Can

    Bernice felt her knees grind against the scorching sand.She had been shoved to her knees while the sorceress ordered two of her men to go after Sabine.The place on her neck where the knife had pricked stung, one good thing about her newfound amortality was that the cut would heal without a scar. She hoped with all her heart that Sabine was able to leave.It was sad that she had been caught, but better one of them, than both of them."What is taking you so long? You can't even handle a girl?" Zipporah snapped from her position on the ground, where she stood gazing up at the house.One of the men said from within the house "The halfling is gone.""What?" Zipporah's face creased in a frown."I don't know, one minute she was here and the next she wasn't," the man replied."I think she escaped through a portal that I saw her create, when I was up there with them," the man that was holding her down on her knees, told Zipporah.At his words, Zipporah slapped him hard, across the face."Inc

    The third beetle flapped its wings and took flight, it snatched up one of the men and ascended up to the sky."Do something Zipporah, don't just stand there!" The man left on the ground to fight against the two beetles snapped at her."I am the one paying you, why should I do the work for you?" She yawned and put a hand to her mouth, looking bored."If we all get killed, of what good is your gold?" He retorted."Okay, I'll help you," she snorted and formed a large fireball in her hand and sent it to the sky to hit the beetle. The beetle lost its strength and began to fall to the ground.She made two more fireballs and threw one to each of the remaining beetles on the ground. They quivered and became weak.The beetle from the sky crashed to the ground a few meters away from the house clearing. Before it reached the ground, the man it was carrying had jumped to the side, allowing it to crash alone. The body shattered to pieces from the momentum of the crash.The two beetles left became

    Cracks and fissures fanned across the walls of the house.She heard the squeaks of her building and the entire house wobbled.Sabine crawled back from the window.What was that fey doing here?The last time she had seen her was at her castle and she had absconded, leaving everything behind when Wayne had come after her.No one heard from her since then, Wayne had searched for her continuously and then finally gave up when he realized she was hiding in his uncle's fortress. The one place he could not breach because of the spirit of the dragon.So far, she had stayed away from her. Not attempting anything, because she knew that Wayne was her close associate.What had given her the temerity and the boldness to come out of hiding and attack her, on her plane, in broad daylight?Judging from the fireballs she was using instead of explosives; she was still treading with caution.Though her house was tucked away in the woods, just a few hundred meters away from the main town settlement, the

    "Do you want to tell me what happened during your journey on planet Uranus?" Sabine probed.Bernice shook her head, no."But you should have known that Rojan is set on his principles. He has been that way for decades now," she said."I know," Bernice said and looked away, averting her eyes."You should have known he is righteously waiting for his fated mate," she added."I know," Bernice replied and wiped away a tear that slipped down her cheeks."Oh dear, why did you do this to yourself?" Sabine dropped her handbag and drew close to hug her."I thought I would be able to win him over, I thought I had a chance," Bernice cried as she hugged her tight "Now I know I will never compare to his mate. More so, now that I am a nymph.""Hey," Sabine drew back and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Don't feel bad for being a nymph. You are beautiful and the right man for you will love you no matter what you are.""I hate him, Sabine. I hate him so much for being so nice to me and making me fall fo

    "Don't touch that," Sabine said and collected her bones from Bernice."Okay, I was only looking at it," Bernice said and took a small meteorite rock from the counter."And don't touch that," Sabine said, grabbing the rock from her and returning it to its former position."Okay, okay, I won't touch anything," Bernice raised her palms to the air and retreated to the sitting room.Sabine let out a deep breath, feeling exasperated.Three weeks had passed since Bernice appeared in her house full of tears and looking all different.She had consoled her and agreed to help her. But Bernice was a handful. It was not easy trying to contain her excess energy.Sometimes, she felt like she was raising a toddler who was curious about life and wanted to try everything out.She was funny, outspoken and the life of a party. Her company was enjoyable and she was fun to be around. It would have been less stressful if she could learn her boundaries.Sabine's eyes flipped to her sitting in the living room

    Three weeks had passed by with her still locked up in this cell.It had been a hard time for her.After locking her up for seven days, Smeden only returned to bring food and water to her three times a day.On the Seventh day, he told her that his Lord had instructed him to ask if she had reconsidered her decision.She glared at him without answering, so he left.The next day, her food rations reduced significantly and it dropped to twice a day.She ate without complaining and slept most of the day or chatted with the Oomukade, whose name she now knew to be Luke.Once daily, she was let out of her cell and allowed to bathe and use the restroom for her needs. After which she was escorted back to her cell.While her body and hygiene remained clean, the rest of the dungeon stank. Most of the creatures here were not given the privilege of bathing and going to the restroom, so they just did their business in their cells, stinking up the entire place.On the fourteenth day, Smeden returned a

    She had just fooled herself once again.The truth of his words hit her like a slap across her face.There was no lie in what he had said, she ran away from something good to end up here, in this terrible situation.Wayne never treated her this way. If anything, he had saved her from being brought here a long time ago, he had saved her friend also.It was now she knew what he had done for her, the important role he played as her protector, her shield, her safe haven.The first contract he made her sign was an act of respect for her free will. Even when he could have easily forced his will on her. Despite deceiving her he had protected her, taken care of her, and tolerated her excesses.Yes, he had hurt her in the end. But he was not perfect, neither was she.She really wished she had confronted him with the second contract, she should have given him the benefit of the doubt and talked things out with him. Maybe he had his reasons for drawing up such a contract.Communication was key in

    "What?" He asked.She heard the irritation in his voice."No," she repeated, shaking her head."You will defy me, reject my offer, and deny me my desires?" he thundered as he swatted the nymphs away from him like flies.She bit her lower lip, unable to answer.He began to advance toward her, his face was hard as a rock and he was evidently pissed by her disobedience.She took a step backward and another. For each step he took toward her, she retreated. Fear made her skin crawl."I gave you a choice, to choose between comfort and captivity, out of the liberality of my heart. Yet you prove stubborn," his words dripped with anger.Her heart was in her mouth when she saw that her refusal had triggered him.What would he do to her? Surely, he would not kill her now, right?"Guards!" He yelled.In the blink of an eye, Smeden and another male appeared from around the corners and rushed to him."Take her and lock her up in the dungeons until she reconsiders my offer," he commanded.And just l
