Zehra looked at herself in the mirror; seeing her face with blood on it, she almost cried. She was the reason why Cade took someone's life. Before that, countless deaths from her kingdom happened because of her, too. When will it end? Why did Cade keep on killing people? Did he like killing them, or was it just another deadly obsession?There were too many questions, and yet they will remain unanswered. She stood up, groaning in pain a little. She stripped her clothes off and went for a hot bath. There was a red bruise on her stomach from the punch of that man who almost raped her. Sighing softly, she got into the hot water, wanting to feel better than she felt right now. After taking a bath, Zehra sat on her bed-no, his bed, wearing her light pink gown that ended on her ankles. Her hair was wet and curly. When she sat, she pulled her legs to her face, thinking about everything that happened. "My lady," Ember entered, worried about the look of her lady. "Are you tired? Did you eat
Zehra's face paled as tears dropped from her eyes. She was scared of Cade doing what he said to her. The pain of being disrespectful is too much for her to bear. Zehra is a she-wolf who was highly respected not because she was a princess but because the Northern Wolf respected women. They are equal to men regardless of their rank. "This Alpha is too much, Zehra!" her wolf commented. "How dare he treat us like this!""This man is a rumored murderer. He's ruthless. He can have what he wants, even killing a whole kingdom just to obtain what he wants," Zehra agreed. "If only our mate-"Zehra and her wolf's small talk interrupted when Cade gripped the sleeve of her light nightgown and yanked it down. The soft cloth yielded to him, ripping down slowly. The nightgown ripped and fell down, leaving her arms bare. Zehra had a thin white slip, which was sleeveless, that ended on her mid-thigh, revealing hints of her cleavage and her long legs.The moment Cade's eyes made contact with the col
"This is against Lord Fenrir's principle, Cade," came a voice as Cade turned to face Suzane, Letisha's sister who married Cade's father's brother and lost her title as the former Queen. Suzane married her real mate after the King's death, her husband. Cade stretched as his servant removed his armor. He then turned his attention to his mother. "You wouldn't be my mother if you didn't question, would you?" he replied. "You got what you wanted," Suzanne spoke as she circled in. "And now what?" she asked, her eyes peering at him. "I'll claim her as mine in front of Lord Fenrir and the people." He spoke like it was the most obvious thing possible. "You will, but one of your consorts. Nethaira is already their Queen; you can't just throw her away. People had come to like her," Suzanne said. A cold chuckle left Cade's lips as he bent down, dismissing his servant. "Was that a statement or a question? Because as far as I remember, I am not six, and you are not the Queen of this Kingdo
Zehra's heart beat so loud. She was just reading the sacred book of Wolf Code by her elders to calm her heart from uneasy thoughts clouding her. She closed it gently, her heartbeat rising as she took in his rugged warrior look. His face was tanned with a layer of sweat and dirt, his eyes cold and dark. Cade's long hair was running wild like the fierce mane of a lion instead of the wolf he was. And the sword that hung from his torso scared Zehra the most. She heard a lot about Cade. Despite being a werewolf, he loved to use his sword rather than his teeth and claws. He loved chopping bodies and severing heads with that sword of his. Cade leaned down, and his lips pressed to Zehra's neck. She felt her body stiffen as her breathing grew. "You can't…can't touch me like this. It is a sin for both of us," Zehra said, trying to push him away from her. A deep chuckle rumbled on Cade's throat as she felt his soft lips replaced by his teeth. He started to suck and bite the place just above
"It's nice to meet you finally," Lorkan said, giving Zehra a charming smile. Cade's eyes narrowed at his gesture. He clenched his fits in anger as a million thoughts passed his mind. Lorkan has a bubbly personality despite being ruthless like him in a battle. He can easily make any she-wolf fall for him. And this idea made Cade very angry. Cade has always been possessive and has always been controlling. It was in his nature, and it was something people around him had to live with him. Being controlling, his people became loyal to him, whether out of respect or fear. It didn't matter as long as they were devoted to him. And being possessive, he never let any enemy breathe near his territory or things he loved so much. Zehra passed a small smile to everybody as she sat, looking around at the food. All of it was pure meat since they were werewolves, something she was not used to seeing at home. Although she loves meat, she also adores seafood and craves it right now.The maid served
"You can't touch me like this," Zehra remarked, freeing her hand from the man, ending the flow of tingles. She isn't aware of what those tingles were for. It wasn't like the tingles you got when you were electrified, but some good tingles and every part of her body wanting it. Zehra has been told that Northern wolves could only meet their mates by a strong, unique scent they can only smell. Whatever those tingles meant scared her. "My apologies, my lady," the man spoke, letting go almost immediately. Zehra sighed in relief as she turned to face him. "I didn't mean to offend you in any way," the man said with a warm smile and heartwarming dimples. "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Argus."Zehra eyed him carefully. She thought that maybe Argus was Cade's twin brother or something since she could see the same resemblances and probably the age. "You are his twin or something?" she asked him. "No, we're not twins but half-brothers," he answered, correcting what she said. "Whatever.
Zehra decided to forget what the Queen and the King's Mother told her. Didn't they realize she was here not because she wanted it but because it was Cade who forcefully took her? The ruthless King has to use violence just to make their kingdom surrender. And Cade won't stop until he gets what he wants. And those women probably thought she liked it, too. To hell with them. There was a knock on her door, and Zehra held back her breath, wondering who it was. Was it the Queen? She breathed deeply, calming herself before opening the door to find Argus standing outside. His warm brown eyes met hers, and his lips curled up in a smile. "Uhm, the cook told me you missed the dessert, and I thought you wanted to try it," he said, offering her the tray with a silver plate covered with a silver cover.Zehra took the tray, offered him a smile, and muttered a thank you. "That is my favorite dessert. I hope it'll suit your taste, Princess," Argus added.Zehra smiled at her before closing her d
Zehra shifted her weight as her eyes began to flutter open for daily prayer to the Moon Goddess. She rubbed her eyes, sighing softly, and felt so sleepy right now, and maybe she could sleep more until Ember came to wake her up.It was not a childish act, but she was sleepy, and Ember would definitely come to wake her, so in a way, it was a really logical idea to get more sleep. Pulling the blanket over her, Zehra turned to her right and closed her eyes before freezing. "Someone was breathing! Someone was next to me!" She panicked. She almost had a heart attack when she opened her eyes before screaming loudly. "Goddess! What kind of dream is this?" "This is not a dream. Now stop screaming and go to sleep," Cade, who woke up by a screaming coming from Zehra, said. He didn't like the ringing in his ears."No! This is wrong! You have wife and -"Cade shut her up by pulling her to his chest. Zehra wanted to push him away because it felt so wrong, and yet, and yet, it seemed so right.
