JoyeThe day was moving much more slower than it usually does. Kaelan had left the house before I woke up, and once again I had to spend breakfast by myself. I didn't judge him, he was the Lycan king, and a huge businessman, he was a very busy man. As always, I spent most of my time reading and doing well to increase my vocabulary and my knowledge about everything. Things were going pretty well until I got tired of reading and eventually got bored. Although the mansion was massive and all, there was absolutely no fun thing to do here. Mary was the only person I could hold some sort of conversation with, and even at that she was always too formal. I knew that as long as Kaelan was king and I was soon to be queen, developing a casual relationship with anybody around would be very difficult. With Kaelan's policy and act, they would all be terrified of speaking to me in any informal way. It was exhausting and annoying, but I had to learn to live with it. I was already getting used to i
KaelanYesterday was nothing short of hectic. The heat of the preparations was mostly felt the previous night. But after a successful night, today was finally here, the ball night and possibly our mating ritual.It was evening, barely sundown, but people had already begun flocking in but in mild numbers for now. The event would not properly start until the next three hours. And it would hold until dawn the next day. I had decided to get some rest and be refreshed before the event. But now I was awake, fully rejuvenated, and ready to get the events started.I got down from my bed and took a quick shower before heading over to Joye's room. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that she was nervous and probably scared. It was okay for her to be nervous. This was her first major occasion in this kingdom, and she was yet to be fully adapted. Then there was also the problem of her not fitting in, I understood fully the situation she was in, and that was why it was necessary to give her a con
JoyeI collapsed onto my bed the moment I reached my room and wrapped my pillow over my head. I was beginning to think I was cursed, or was fate just toying with me? Why must everyone I love eventually turn to hate me? I thought Kaelan would be different, I prayed that he'd be different, but that wasn't happening. The sparks in his eyes were gone, and just a few moments ago they had been replaced with rage towards me. He hated me now and that was for sure. I spent the next half an hour sulking into my pillow and blaming myself for everything. From the start, I was never good enough for the Lycan king. I had no idea why I genuinely thought that this whole thing, our union, was going to work out. I was once again going too far with my imagination. Jerking up the instant I felt a presence by my side, I came face to face with Kaelan. He was seated by my bedside, and although he wore a sad expression, I wasn't ready to forgive him just yet. "What do you want?" I asked as I wiped away t
KaelanAlthough things were going relatively well between I and Joye, I still felt the need to make a grand gesture, just to make things a bit better between us. "What's up with you and Joye?" Aiden asked as we both walked through the halls of the company. We had a meeting with one of the shareholders today and were currently heading towards the conference room."Does it seem like something is up with us?" I returned. I wasn't the type that spoke publicly about a personal relationship, but I knew Aiden had caught up to the recent happenings. Throughout the week I hadn't been myself, so noticing our issues would not be that difficult. "You've barely spoken for almost a week now, and you seemed down for a while. But you seem to be fine now, have you resolved the issue?""You seem very invested in my relationship with Joye, could it be you have an eye for my queen?" I teased. "Of course not, I'm only looking out for you, my lord," Aiden replied. At this point, it was useless trying to
JoyeA week had passed now since our trip to the countryside, and things were moving smoothly for the time being. My relationship with Kaelan had grown significantly, and I now had the freedom to leave the mansion and tour around the kingdom anytime I liked. Life was getting a lot better and easier, and I honestly couldn't ask for anything more. Rising from the bed, I sauntered towards the refrigerator to grab myself a bottle of water. It was the break of dawn, and for some reason, I had woken up earlier than always. Maybe it was because of the happy thoughts that were constantly popping up in my head, vivid dreams, and unending streams of reverie. It didn't matter, now that I was awake I wanted to be close to Kaelan as soon as possible. Without waiting for Mary or any of the other maids, I entered the bathroom and prepared my bath. A warm bath to compensate for the cold weather. Winter was coming soon, it was already more than obvious. After having my bath, I dressed up in the fir
JoyeI stared at Kaelan in shock, perplexed and devoid of the right words to speak. Surely he wasn't being serious about this, maybe I heard incorrectly. "You're leaving for another trip so soon?!" I asked for clarification, but his answers remained the same. "Unfortunately yes, but I'll be back soon I promise." He reassured, but I wasn't listening. It wasn't a matter of him returning soon or later, I just didn't want him to go at all. "Are you sure I can't come along? I swear I won't be a hindrance." I pleaded, but the likeliness that I was coming along were rather slim. This time it was just more than just a business trip, it seemed as though this trip concerned Kaelan, and Kaelan alone. There was no way I was coming along this time, the disappointed expression on his face said it all."I'm sorry, but I can't take you along with me this time. It might be a dangerous trip, and I don't want your life to be put at risk." His hand stroke my chin gently, and with his thumb he wiped aw
JoyeIt's been three days now, and Kaelan was supposed to return home today. It was already evening and was drawing closer to Nightfall, yet there was no sign of Kaelan. I wasn't worried though, I knew he was alright. I just didn't want to be believe or think that for some reason Kaelan has decided to extend his trip.It wasn't likely, if there were any sudden changes Kaelan would have informed me by now. Maybe his flight was delayed, or maybe he was somewhere in the city, stuck in traffic. Whatever the reason was I really couldn't care less, I just wanted Kaelan by my side as soon as possible. Although we were frequently in touch with each other these past days, I still felt lonely, and my thoughts wouldn't stop harassing me. Ever since my trip to the country side, and after hearing the words of that elder I couldn't get it out of mind. He had referred to me as "The chosen one," and it has been bothering me ever since. He didn't explain his words, and I hadn't asked of the meaning
JoyeI was first to wake, and I sat up by the bedside, While Kaelan lay naked beside me. He was fast asleep, but the throbbing in my head wouldn't allow me to get a decent rest. Maybe it was the effects that came after your first experience, I didn't know, so I really couldn't be sure. Or maybe it was because I had fallen asleep and had skipped dinner last night. It was a mild one, not something to be worried about.Sauntering towards the refrigerator, I took out a bottle of water and gulped down its content. Taking a look at the clock by my side I discovered that it was still two hours to the break of dawn. I needed to get back to bed, and back to sleep.As I settled on the bed once more, my eyes fell on Kaelan's perfect naked body, and in came the memories of last night's experience. How we were lost in the depths of our desire, filled with passion, and overwhelmed with pleasure. Last night had been perfect, and I couldn't begin to imagine just how good it would be when we get marri
