FIFTY-SEVEN
My hands were shaky when I was done dressing. I stood in the mirror, trying to give myself a little pep talk but nothing seemed to be working. I know I didn’t need the king to arrive at the table before me, that would be disrespectful, and I was hoping to make a good second impression since our first encounter didn’t go too well.
I hooked my earring and stepped out. Thomas was already waiting at the door to escort me, so we made our way to the royal castle, my heart banging in my chest as we drew closer.
I wasn’t going to let Thomas or any other person see how scared I was so I kept my chin up until we got to the dining table. I still remember the last time I was here and how much things have changed in such a such time, like I had a wolf now that I could dialogue with.
I almost squealed in excitement when I saw Elsie at the table seated next to a gentleman. I rushed to hug her and she was equally as excited to see me.
“Come sit he

RYDER’S POV I slammed my fists into the wall in anger as I stared down at the scape goats that were chained in the warehouse. It was early in the morning, we spent the whole night battling those bloody rogues but I didn’t feel tired at all. I wanted answers. One of them had killed himself already before we got to the warehouse. I’m still unaware of how he got a knife and ended his life, and I was mad at those that were supposed to guard them for allowing something like that slip right through their fingers. I picked up the gang leader by his collar and lifted him up with my left hand, his legs trembling underneath him and his lips quivering with large droplets of sweat running down his face. “Who the fuck sent you and what is your aim, you moron,” I questioned him for the second time but his quivering lips would not let him form a single word, so I smashed my fists into his face real hard, and blood tri
Royally Desired FIFTY-NINE
I paced the lengths of the warehouse, throwing my fists into walls occasionally and cursing. I have learnt a lot in the past few hours than I have learnt in almost two years since I have been on this case.All these killings was connected to the death of Jayce walker, whose killer we are still unsure of, but without a doubt, the killings within the western wolves was a movement that the alpha of Eclipse pack started in other to get justice for the death of his son and find out who was behind his death. He got help from the rogue king who would do anything to cause harm to werewolves and their packs, hence the involvement of magic.It made sense how Jordan had been able to get his hands on the potion he intended to use to kill me. The moron should have known that mere magic couldn’t take down the alpha prince, but he is just as naïve and clueless as his father who thinks killing innocent alpha’s was the right move to take to avenge the death of his son.

TIANA’S POV “Stop following me,” I screamed at Thomas. It wasn’t my imagination, he flinched, but that didn’t stop him. “You must return back to Prince Ryder’s room-” he was saying, but I didn’t let him finish. “I know that, and I am not running, so can you just quit following me?” I boomed. “I still like my head on my neck. Prince Ryder would not hesitate to separate the two if he found out that I left you on your own,” he complained. I grit my teeth in anger. I haven’t returned back to Ryder’s house since I left the king’s palace, because I wanted to be far away from anything that reminded me of him, and it was so hard to get rid of Thomas but I desperately want to go on a run. My wolf wanted out of this body, it was the only thing that could calm me down or make me feel a little bit better, but a part of me knew that if I shifted, Thomas’s wolf would be right behind mine and I didn’t wa
Royally Desired SIXTY-ONE
RYDER’S POVOnly a fool would play pranks with the most powerful werewolf on earth and think he would go free, and Leo just proved how foolish he is. Going the extra mile to get the most powerful spell that could turn him into that beast was a waste of time, and summoning all those rogues didn’t do him any good either. I spat at his lifeless body before climbing into my vehicle to begin our journey back to the place.I’m exhausted, and still in a pretty bad mood because no one had a clue where the stupid Simeon was. He couldn’t have gotten so far, and it wouldn’t be long before I find him, I know. Still, I was mad that those I put in charge had let him out of their sight. Morons. Seems like these fucking warriors cannot do anything right these days.If Leo had not been so foolish to try and conquer me, he would have been on the run just like his brother. So, his aim for killing Jayce was because he thought the alpha se
Royally Desired SIXTY-TWO
TIANA’S POVI definitely felt better after that run, but my mind was still clogged with so many questions about how Adeline died, thus making it difficult for me to fall asleep. I don’t feel that fear of my mate being in danger anymore like I had felt earlier in the day, and I was relieved mostly.It was still quite early in the evening, and even though the king said I should make a habit of having my meals at the royal table, I don’t think I would be doing that again. I walked out on him, and that was disrespect on my path, but certainly he didn’t think I would sit back and take all of that, did he?I never thought of the possibility of Ryder hurting me, but after my recent findings, I find myself doubting if he would put an end to my life if he had to. I tried to force myself to sleep, especially because I didn’t get much sleep the night before, but it wouldn’t come, and I woul
Royally Desired SIXTY-THREE
RYDER’S POVI can’t tell her that I was on the look out for her father yet, at least not until I find him and hear his own side of the story, just so I don’t get her hopes up. I felt how happy she was knowing the Hughes were safe, and I would do anything to make her happy now, including telling her the truth about Adeline, and whatever happens to Eclipse pack from here was totally up to her. She deserved that, especially after all she had gone through while she was there.After I told her all she needed to know about her former pack and the death of Jayce Walker, I needed to see Elsie. So, I sent a mind link to her to meet me in my office at the royal castle. I hate to leave my mate but I needed to address some issues with Elsie, and I needed to do that now.Elsie is stubborn and headstrong like our mother, and it was hard to forgive her for what she did. She knows all I had to deal with in my past relationship, y
Royally Desired SIXTY-FOUR
The night was a little fast. From having that lengthy conversation with Elsie to finally wrapping up a few issues on the case, and then going back to my room to find Tiana sound asleep. I crawled into bed with her, trying to be as quiet as I could so I don’t wake her up, and I was up very early in the morning before she woke and got ready for the day. I had a place set up for the Hughes and they would be here from now on, lucky for them. The fate of the other members of Eclipse pack now rested in the hands of my mate. I walked to Louis’s office to find him there already. “You skipped breakfast,” he says “Not like it’s anything new, but father was hoping to see you,” he had a smug smile on his face. I shrugged. “I don’t care about him,” I say dryly. “The family I brought to the palace would be meeting with the other royals soon, they helped us with information remember? And knowing how much Tiana adores them, it only makes sense to bring them here,” I
Royally Desired SIXTY-FIVE
TIANA’S POVIs it just me or is everyone suddenly avoiding me since Ryder got back? I’m probably overthinking things and maybe Elsie is just busy but I haven’t seen Layla and the other girls either, and this new body guard is worse than Thomas. Despite not liking Thomas at the beginning, I would choose him over this new bodyguard.I was tired honestly, and I wanted to join the others training. I don’t always have to rely on any prince charming to come to my rescue whenever I was in danger, especially now that I had my wolf. I haven’t trained since I got to this place, and that wasn’t good for me. Werewolves needed training, and I was no exception, no matter how strong my wolf appeared.I haven’t seen Ryder since his revelation when he got back. I thought I felt him climb into bed with me the night before but he must have left before I woke up because I could still perceive
