TIANA’S POV
“Miss Aldridge, Your highness asked that we delivered these to you,” A frail looking girl carrying a hand full of clothes drops them on the bed, and another girl follow behind her.
“Thank you,” I mouthed to them and they smiled genuinely. “Wait,” I quickly stop them before they leave. “I was wondering if you knew Rose?” They shook their heads simultaneously “Nora?” They look at each other and shook their heads again. Then I just sigh and wave them off.
When they left, I go to inspect the clothes they brought for me. Expensive clothes. Each one had a label on them indicating they had just been bought and I gushed over how beautiful the dresses are and the price tag on them. I don’t think Prince Ryder picked out these outfits for me, they looked really girly and classy, something a lady would pick. Anyway, Mr. Scary t

“What are you all doing here anyway?” I ask, glancing around the room.“Come, ” Sadie pulls my hands and start to lead me outside, the other two following behind us. I can’t begin to describe how big and beautiful the werewolf palace is. This particular building is not as big as Prince Ryder’s and it was divided into several beautiful sections. It is about two stories tall and I want to explore more areas but I don’t have much time. I want to spend the hour catching up with them and telling them about my own experience too. I also need to speak to Layla.When we exited the room, they take me to a much smaller area, it’s like a mini parlor with awards and medals scattered all around and about six single chairs.“I think the best thing that happened to us was coming here, ” Rose commented, taking the first sit and I followed suit. Sadie took the chair close

I’d barely spent five minutes with the girls when I start to feel funny. I notice a change in the atmosphere and then there’s that fluttering in my stomach accompanied with excitement as well as dread and my wolf is back and panting in my head. She had never spoken to me or showed her presence except when we are with our mate and I knew he was approaching. I start to panic, and the girls immediately noticed. I inhaled his sweet scent just two seconds before the door bursts open and he’s standing there, glaring at us, at me in particular, his presence filling the room, causing the girls to bare their necks to him. I stared at the floor because I couldn’t bear to look at his face. The deep scowl on his face and anger radiating from him made me wish I could disappear. Behind him is his bodyguard Mr. Scary and then I hear the click of heels on the hard floor and I didn’t bother to look because I already knew who it belonged to. “Ryder!” Princess Elsie exclaimed b

I stared at the bulk of clothes I had gotten. I and Elsie spent a lot of time shopping for dresses that I don’t think are necessary. I know having dinner with the royal family is a big deal but I ended up buying too many clothes that I could wear for another two months without a repeat and Elsie made me do it. I haven’t had so many clothes all my life and the fact that every penny I spent was from the prince’s credit card made me worry.Elsie assured me that he wouldn’t mind and might not even notice. She even added that he would be pleased if I looked good always. I doubt if anything I did would please Prince Ryder but I didn’t voice out my thoughts.What I didn’t like however, was the fact that each item I bought were carried to the Prince’s room. I also found out that a portion of his closet had been cleared out for me and I’m not sure under whose orders. Elsie did not see anything wrong in it and I didn’t want t

I remember Elsie telling me to get used to having my meals at the royal table but right now, I don’t think it’s possible to get used to it. The king sat at the head of the table, scrutinizing and glaring at me like some leech he would like to end it’s life. His domineering presence and piercing gaze made me want to bolt from the dining hall and never be seen again. It was not so bad at first when he didn’t respond to my greeting because Elsie had told me not to expect a response. To his right is Prince Louis, and across from him is Prince Ryder who I am seated next to, then opposite me is Princess Elsie who was occasionally casting apologetic looks in my direction. Next to Elsie is a dark-haired man who introduced himself as Adrian and Ryder’s beta. He looked friendly to me and I took an instant liking to him because he wasn’t as scary looking as the other prince’s on the table. A long line of nobles and royals are also at the table. Some of them I have seen

Once we were inside his room, he slammed the door shut loudly and let out a low, frustrated growl. I was a little scared to go close to him in this mood, so I stood with my back to the door and just watched him pace the room until his anger started to deflate. “You had a mate before me?” He asked with irritation. How convenient of him to act like I committed a crime when his father just listed his women and told me how unbefitting I was to be his son’s mate to my face. “Yes,” I swallowed as I remembered Jordan for the nth time today and he looked angry for a second but his anger is short-lived and his eyes grow soft and then all the anger was gone instantly. “What happened?” He asked me. I looked away because it’s something I never discussed with anyone. I wanted everything that had to do with Eclipse pack buried forever. When I didn’t respond immediately, I felt his anger brewing again. “He didn’t want me,” when I said it, I realized I felt nothing b

Ryder’s POVThe Red rock pack alpha was found dead a few minutes ago with the same note as all the others. The wound on his neck was targeted at the same spot to make their point and again, there was the same note.…justice or nothing.The western wolves which comprises of an aggregate of twenty four packs seem to be their major target. In the eastern regions, only one pack has been affected but the other twelve deaths have been within the western regions.Right now, news just got to me that the other packs within the western region are scared to death and they request more protection and stronger warriors to help guard their territories and leaders.The leader of the western wolves have been quiet all along but he sent a direct message this time, apparently scared for his own head. Coward. I don’t give a fuck about him, but I’m worried for the people. It seems like whoever is behind this have picked

Tiana’s POVI need to get him off my mind but that’s almost impossible with his scent all around me. That kiss was a bad idea, I should have protested but I couldn’t help myself, now it’s the only thing that has been on my mind and it left me craving for more. Shit. I’m in deep shit. It was difficult sleeping with him next to me but tonight, it seems even harder to fall asleep without him.I close my eyes and try to think of something else, anything but the arrogant prince that annoyed the hell out of me, but I can’t help myself whenever I’m around him. My eyes fling open when my phone starts blaring and I quickly rush to get it. Good thing Prince Ryder was not here, I had almost forgotten about the phone.I stared at the unknown number calling me, it didn’t look familiar and no one ever called me except Layla of course, so when I pick the call, I wait for the caller to speak first. It takes about ten

I started to feel uncomfortable in my sleep, someone was watching me. The realization, coupled with the fact that I’d had bad dreams all through the night jerked me awake and I gasped and sat upright. Strong hands held me tight and that’s when I realize Prince Ryder was seated right next to me, his emerald green eyes peering into my face. I’m not sure whether to feel relieved or not, but as usual, my body reacted to his touch and I stared at his palms on my exposed skin before looking back up to meet his gaze. He’s not in a good mood as I can see and I hope I hadn’t crossed the line again. Maybe he found out about the cell phone? Or did it have anything to do with the case he was working on? Whatever it is, I don’t like the look on his face. “What’s your relationship with Jordan?” He asked hoarsely. That question caused my heart to race even faster. I struggled to find my voice for a few seconds, and when I did, I didn’t even know what to say. That so
