I watched as Alpha Lothar stood up in all his majestic glory and began to walk slowly to where I was. My heart was beating fast, threatening to fly out of my chest. The whole place had gone silent and everyone was waiting for his reaction and verdict. No one has realized that we were mates. I should be thankful for that. I would silently be rejected again without anyone knowing about it. My breath caught in my throat and I could not breathe when he came to a stop in front of me. It was disrespectful of me to look him in the eyes. I was supposed to bow my head or something, but I couldn't look away. I looked up at the Alpha Lothar who was towering over me at six feet, five inches. He was more handsome up close. More handsome than when I had seen him from Azalea's window riding on a horseback or when he was still seated on his throne. He was the most handsome man I have ever laid eyes on. His green eyes held mine and I could not look away. My wolf was clamoring behind my mind where I
The first place my hand went to when I woke up was my neck. I had just woken up from a bad dream where I was executed. This time I did not see Paul and Anna. Instead, I saw that mysterious man who blew me a kiss while riding on a horseback. He was with another woman, and he was giving me a devilish smile as my head was cut off. I was gasping, there were tears in my eyes as I thanked the moon goddess that it had all been a dream. I was still alive and breathing. My neck was still attached to my head. My hands dropped from my neck to the bed, and I was shocked at how soft it was under my hand. The bed I've gotten familiar with after my reincarnation was a hard one. My eyes went to the bed and then the unfamiliar room. My face squeezed into a frown as I tried to remember how I got here. Then it all came rushing back to me, everything that happened after Azalea sent me back to my room. How I was accused by Piper of stealing Alpha Lothar's golden ring and how I found out that Alpha k
With each question he asked, he took a step towards me. I wanted to stand my ground and not move, but I couldn't stop myself from doing so. I moved back as he advanced until I was against the wall and had nowhere else to go. A sexy smirk was playing around his lips as he came to a stop in front of me. He was too close for my peace of mind. His heady scent of lemons wrapped around me, tantalizing my senses and all I wanted to do was lean over and bury my face in his chest, which I knew would be strong and muscular. I knew it would be a wrong idea to do so. He might not have rejected me, he might have announced to everyone that I was his mate but… "You must have really been overwhelmed by my handsomeness, that's why you fainted”. He was nodding with certainty as he reached out a hand to caress my face. I sucked in a sharp breath and fought hard not to press my face into his warm palm. My body was tingling with sparks as he caressed my face. "Yes, I was overwhelmed, but what about yo
Bang!! My sense, which had flown out of the window after Lothar took my lips in a plundering kiss, immediately returned at the sound of someone entering the room and slamming the door with a loud bang. I jerked and began to frantically shove at Lothar's shoulders to let go of me, but he only groaned a protest and continued to plunder my mouth with his wet and silky tongue. His hips continued to thrust against mine as he pushed his erection on me. My whole body was still flaming hot with heat, and I could feel a heavy wetness between my thighs. All I wanted to do was pull off my clothes and allow him to…. "What's going on here?”. I jerked out of the haze I had fallen into once more when I recognized who the voice belonged to. Of course, no one else would have had the mind to slam the door of the room the Alpha king was in, unless it was his beloved sister Azalea. Lothar's mouth and weight moved off my body, and as my eyes opened, I realized that Azalea was the one that dragged him
“I thought we were going for a stroll and would be walking?” I asked Azalea. How else are we going to see everywhere in the pack if we don't walk around?We were both standing outside, blocked by over fifty royal guards who looked scared of Azalea but still stubbornly insisting on us getting into the carriage and them following us about.Azalea brows were furrowed, and her arms crossed over her chest, “what's going on with all of you?"The one I assumed to be the leader stepped forward and bowed low, “We are sorry Queen Luna, but alpha king Lothar asked us to follow you and ensure your safety.” “ When did you start following me and down to ensure my safety?” Azalea asked, her face now morphing into an angry frown.The leader's eyes flicked to me before quickly returning to Azalea, “today,” he replied.Azalea must have noticed when he looked at me, even if it was for a second. She turned to look at me and the frown left her face, “oh, it's because of her, right?" The guard spared me
“There is something I need to tell you Angela” Azalea said immediately we returned to the palace after our strollI nodded before sitting on the edge of my bed. She joined me. I waited for her to tell me what she wanted to say, but she kept quiet for a while and when she finally spoke, what she said made me feel like I had been gutted.“You are not just Lothar's mate, you are his second chance mate”. My mouth dropped open at the same time that my eyes widened in shock. I could feel my ears ringing and I felt like I did not hear, and it was just my ears playing tricks on me. I felt my wolf roar in my head and raise her hackles.Azalea just told me that I was not just Lothar's mate but his second chance mate. Does that mean he has another mate somewhere? Why would he even have a second chance mate anyway? What happened to the first one? Did she die? Lothar did not in any way look like someone who has lost a mate to death. He has been so eager to claim me as his. He had told me that he
I was still processing everything Azalea told me hours after she left. I came back to earth when I heard a soft knock at the door. I knew that I wasn't Azalea as she just left and wouldn't knock if she was the one, nor was it Lothar, he wouldn't have knocked either.“Come in”. I called out and kept my eyes on the door as it was pushed open. Rosaline, my maid and another girl who was also wearing a maid's uniform like that of Rosaline's stepped in. The second girl was carrying a tray of food as I could perceive the delicious scent of meat from where I was sitting on the bed. My stomach grumbled loudly, and I grabbed it with my hands. My face blushed beet red in embarrassment when Rosaline gave me a kind smile as if she understood that I was really hungry and was not taking what happened to heart.The both of them bowed low before the second girl moved to drop the tray on the table in the room.“This is Isabella, your second maid.” Rosaline introduced the girl to me.My eyes went to her
My anxiety increased the next day, and it went a notch higher with each passing day until a week later. I had spent my days in boredom. Wake up, bath, eat, sit by the window and stare out. It was like this until Rosaline decided that I needed a bit of fresh air and showed me the palace garden, which I quickly fell in love with.The few maids I encountered on my way to the garden every day kept throwing me envious or nasty looks, but none of them dared to come close to me.I had had my breakfast alone in the morning before asking Rosaline to show me to the garden in the palace. I had a nice time there just walking around and inhaling the scent of the flowers. I spent the morning thinking about what to do with my life. I had no important thing I was doing in the palace since Alpha Lothar announced that I was his mate. I haven't seen him after that day we shared our first kiss, and I doubt I would. I kept telling myself that he was occupied with other things, and he would come, but it h
