He started running immediately. I sat on his back, held onto his back, and closed my eyes because looking at the trees and the speed at which we were passing them was making me lightheaded. He ran for a few minutes, then put me down. He shifted back and grabbed his shirt and shoes from me."Is that how Lycans look when they shift?""You could not allow me to finish tying my shoes before you ask another question.""Come on, you like my questions." I smiled, trying to look seductive."No, I do not like it. That was a half-shift. Don't wolves half-shift?""They do, but I haven't seen a Lycan shift before, So I want to spot all the differences.""Spot them in the morning. Now come on."He walked for about two minutes and stopped at the tall Golden Gate. It was thrown open as soon as we moved closer. There was a huge mansion in the middle of the houses; it was really beautiful; the pillars were golden in color; and PALAST DER TOTEN SEELEN was written in front of it with a picture of a huge
The two hours were one of the longest of my life. I was taught to walk like a lady in the royal court and how to bow to the king and queen.How to know the ranks of each Lycan—the ones to bow to and the ones that would bow to me, How to talk, and even how to laugh. I was to refer to the queen as my queen, and even when she says to call her Elizabeth, I would still call her Queen Elizabeth. For the king, He is referred to as My King and nothing else. If Prince Kingsley is here, then I may call him Prince Kingsley. I should bow to the elders and the people in power that will be sitting on the two sides beside the throne. The people facing the throne would bow to me, But as soon as I am named as Reagan's mate, I only bow for the Royal family and no one else. I was taught how to answer to the King and queen and speak only when spoken to. She also told me that a female Lycan is referred to as an eresthai in case I overheard it.I begged her to tell me what to expect, but she said that only
I would have given her applause because her plan was so good that if I had not known, she might have escaped, but unfortunately, I already know. Lycans are more intelligent than wolves and humans, and I also trust my instincts, which never lead me astray. They ate at an African restaurant, then Kelly decided to leave like their plan was. I already told her to let her go anywhere she wanted because I had a plan for her.When she got out of her taxi, She turned to do something on her phone. Brian stopped in front of her and told her to get in."Why?""If you want to see your friend again, you would..." Brian didn't even finish, and she had already entered the car. I guess they would do anything for each other."Hello, Kelly Alexandria Pitt," I said to her.She shuddered, then tried to put on a brave face and say, "Where is Alix?""On the highway getting to this place, so you both can escape together to Europe."Her facade cracked, and then I could feel her shaking. "I don't know what you
I snatched my hand and stormed off outside the palace grounds. I couldn't believe that asshole; he thinks that everything is about him. I decided to walk down a rocky road I saw because only one person was walking down there, and I desired some peace.As I walked down, I spotted a river. I quickly took off my shoes and walked a little bit into it. I guess the moon goddess knew how I felt and directed me here. I was basking in the evening sun and breathing the fresh air from the stream when I heard someone coming closer. I turned to the person, and it turned out to be a handsome blonde. I averted my eyes, minding my business, and also praying that he wouldn't start trying to make a conversation, but alas, he did."Hey, beautiful." He came closer, then inhaled my scent. "You smell like a wolf, not a Lycan."I still didn't answer. He came closer and then looked at my face."Prince Reagan's mate, I am so sorry to bother you." He walked past me and started to jump and kick water. He looked
"Whose life are you risking? What did you do?"He shook his head and said, "It doesn't work like that; I can't tell you. But imagine me doing something so bad so I can have you here even though it is risky; would you forgive me?"I didn't want to be here in the beginning, but now that I am, I do not think I want to leave anymore. My heart would not let me, even though he was annoying, but I wanted to explore the feelings between us."I would, As long as you are careful enough not to harm all the people we care about. I wouldn't leave unless you did something so unforgivable by all standards."He still didn't smile. "Not only is this unforgivable but selfish too, but I got what I wanted anyway, And I won't put an end to it.""Reagan, you aren't making any sense; who did you hurt? Is it Kelly?" I said I was suddenly afraid.He moved closer, then pulled me into his arms. He was so warm that I could feel the heat sipping from his body. This very handsome Lycan was mine, So I hugged him tig
"Where are you?" I asked her."At the club with Amelia, How was your dinner?""Not so good; Reagan's mom was the absolute worst.""Look, I got to go, Alix. Talk to you later. I am so happy for you."The line went dead. I couldn't believe what was happening. My Best Friend and I have drifted apart. We were both in a new phase of our lives, but I was kind of sad because I missed my confidant.I decided to soak in the tub instead of the shower because I needed to think some things over. I was just lying there when I felt arms over me. I already knew who it was, I shifted a bit and he slid into the tub, my back on his front. He kissed my back, then started massaging my shoulders, then whispered in my ear,"What are you thinking?"I moaned, then leaned into his touch. "A few things. When are you going to tell me that you are going back to New York tomorrow?""This afternoon, but you stormed off, and I didn't see you till this evening."I scoffed and said, "Fine, blame it on that; your famil
"My name is Ana, and I will be lecturing you on a few things as you transition from a wolf to an eresthai; those that were given birth to as an errsthai have been taught those things. Let's start by introducing ourselves; I will go first."She cleared her throat, then started, "My name is Ana Robinson, and my father is Elder Isa Robinson. This is the first time I am teaching a class, and I am here because the Queen wanted me to lecture the princess. I hope we all got along."I clapped, and then the blonde, beautiful girl introduced herself next until it got to me."My name is Alix Stone, from the midnight pack. My father is the late Alpha Kish Stone. It is so nice to meet you all," I finished, then sat down.I now understand why Reagan told me that I needed all my strength because I soon became bored out of my mind."What did I just say, Alix?"I raised my head and said, "You were explaining how to conduct ourselves in public.""No, I am done with that topic; I am explaining how to get
I nodded, then picked up a pin. She snatched it from my hand but then gave it back. When she looked into my curious face, She laughed."I just wanted to see how fast you are."I nodded, then found another pin I liked better."Do you think I should take this and leave this one?"No," She answered quickly, then slowly. "The first one looks great on you. I have one too; maybe we could twin with them."I nodded. Now I understand her obsession with me buying the pin. She picked another one with beautiful stones, and we attached it to our hair. When we tried to pay, the trader refused, saying it was a gift to the princess, but we finally got her to take her money.Our next stop was at the museum when we stopped at the door and Ana showed them a card, which they took after reading. They opened the door and closed it as soon as we were inside."What was that?""The card? It's from the Queen, telling them to let us in here."Don't they let people in?""No, I was only in here once, and it was wi
