THIRTY-SEVEN
“Who would have thought you were capable of gaining any weight!” Layla screamed and enveloped me in a tight hug. It’s been few weeks since I last saw her and it feels like forever.
She spins me around to check me out after releasing me from her rather tight hug, her eyes a little misty. It feels just like yesterday when she was comforting me and doing everything to convince me that Jayce’s death was not my fault. I feel less guilty about his death since I have been in the royal palace because there was no constant reminder of what happened and people at the royal palace didn’t look at me and see a killer.
“I missed you so much Layla,” I said and she hugged me again, dapping at her eyes.
“I miss you too. I can smell your wolf now,” she says excitedly and I nodded my head.
The potion I took was supposed to last an hour according to Elsie but it wore off after thirty minutes. “Yes Layla,” I nodded my head. There was a lot to catch up with but we needed t

RYDER’S POV The alpha of the Western wolves is worried sick, and scared to death that he has somehow managed to anger the royals again. My dad called me to his office to discuss why I had a change in mind after deploying some warriors to the western regions but I didn’t give him my main reason. I have been handling this case for the past eighteen months and I was making all the decisions and calling the shots. My dad could care less about the Western wolves. He inherited the hatred towards them from his own father, which I have been trying to curb. No matter how hard they tried to get in our good books, my dad was not someone that could easily be won over. Since the incident with Tiana, I have avoided him as much as I could which hasn’t been all that much, because I still had to attend these really long meetings with him present and his signature was still needed on a lot of things before they could pass. That

TIANA’S POV“Hey babe,” The lanky dude that had to be Layla’s boyfriend kissed her before pulling her into a tight hug.“I missed you so much,” Layla swooned, then turned to introduce me to him. “This is Tiana, my best friend. Tee, meet Luke, my boyfriend,” she says with a wide smile.Luke shook my hands a little awkwardly, I’m not sure why. “Layla tells me about you. It’s nice to finally meet you,” he says.“It’s nice to meet you too Luke. Layla has nothing but sweet things to say about you too,” I tell him and he smiled.Luke seems like a chilled guy, and a lot different than that player Logan. I can’t seem to figure out why he doesn’t feel so comfortable around me, or maybe it was just my imagination.Daystar pack is not as bad as people made them seem. They don’t like intruders no dou
Royally Desired FORTY
RYDER’S POVHow could she? How is it possible that she walked out of this palace without anyone seeing her? Unless someone aided her escape, and if I find out who did this, I would not have any mercy on them. If I find her, then she is going to be punished. Seems like I gave her too much liberty.I should have known. For fuck’s sake how did I manage to allow her so much privilege around here? What if something bad happened to her? What if she was in danger right now? How would I live with myself if she harmed herself or if I eventually do not see her again?I know for a fact that she is safe. If she was harmed or in some sort of trouble, I would have felt it. She left on her own. How could she do this? How? It feels like I would go crazy any minute if I do not see her, or even hear from her. I am mad and scared at the same time. This cannot be happening to me, not after Adeline.What if she went
Royally Desired FORTY-ONE
TIANA’S POVThe night seemed to be dragging for way too long, and I know exactly why. I returned back to the house when Layla went into a panic and was screaming my name alongside Luke barely thirty minutes after I left. She seemed overly surprised that I climbed down that window and she has spent the last one hour asking me how I managed to, but I can’t explain myself.We have been talking non-stop since she found me, but nothing we said could take my mind away from him. I try to find sleep but it wasn’t coming.“You are not okay,” Layla commented.“What?” I turned to her absentmindedly.“I have been talking to myself for the past ten minutes,” she says slowly “You don’t look okay,”I walked over to the window I had climbed down from and stared out. That walk was supposed to calm my nerves but it didn’t.&ldqu
Royally Desired FORTY-TWO
The next day was a little bit of fun. We visited three neighboring packs in disguise, sneaking into two of them while the third pack granted us easy access because one of those on parole had been ‘struck by my beauty’ in his words.Layla told Lucas I was going to visit a relative nearby and we may not be back for a long time. He wasn’t too pleased to let us go at first but he eventually gave in. I don’t think he bought the lie though but I needed something to take me away from Day star, I needed something to keep me busy, other than hiding away in that house and wallowing away as thoughts of Ryder was the only thing on my mind. Even during our adventure, he still clouded my thoughts.My phone was still turned off, so I have not heard from Elsie since her call last night when I got here. I hoped she was fine and I miss her too, and I hope Ryder didn’t know she helped me with this.I was glad Layla was having fun too. We met a few peo
Royally Desired FORTY-THREE
“What do we do?” Layla asked in a voice I could barely recognize as hers. “Calm down,” I say in my own weird voice. I was scared, but mostly for Layla because I dragged her into this whole mess. Jordan was threatening to kill her and for all we know her family could be in trouble already. I wouldn’t put it past him to do anything rash, he sounded desperate and I remember the look in his eyes after he beat me up on the night he rejected me. He could have killed me if he wanted to and I thought he was going to, but he spared me and now I have dragged Layla into all of it. Layla was hardly ever scared of anything, but she looked terrified now and I know it is not just about Jordan’s threat but fear of what the prince would do to her. “Jordan is going to kill me. He almost beat me up the day he asked for your number and I refused to give it to him,” she says shakily “But even if I manage to escape his wrath, because after all my parents are respectable members of
Royally Desired FORTY-FOUR
RYDER’S POV “You look like a walking corpse,” My dad says mockingly. The scowl on my face deepened. “Stay away from this father,” I hissed. Typical of him to gloat at a time like this. Who would think that the werewolf king was a petty bastard? No one but me. I have not slept or eaten in days and I know I look like shit without him saying it. Food is the last thing on my mind, I just want to find her. A lot has happened to me in my lifetime but none was as scary as this. What if I never find her? what then would become of me? How long could I really survive without her? My wolf is slowing down, it’s funny how a woman can make the strongest wolf feel so powerless. Many times, I get angry, I dream of the many ways I would punish her and make her beg for my mercy, but right now, the fear is creeping in, and it outweighs the feeling of wanting to punish her. I have sent a message to all the packs in
Royally Desired FORTY-FIVE
TIANA’S POV No one dared walk out on the werewolf prince, but I did, and successfully must I add. I left, and is it safe to say I regret it already? What was I thinking? How long could I really keep up with this? Did he miss me as much as I miss him? does he have any regrets of his own? Like allowing that bitch Susan to come anywhere close to him, or why he held back information about his former mistress? Would things have gone better if he had just been open to me from the start? Was there even any possibility that he could be happy with me? that I could be something more than a prisoner to him? Did I do any good by running away or I just succeeded in ruining things entirely? What if he had plans to punish me forever for leaving? What if he wasn’t looking for me because he cared, but because he felt insulted and that was why he was ready to pay whoever finds me? So many questions, yet I didn’t have any answers. I want to go ba
