2024-02-05 01:30:49My blood turned to ice in my veins as I listened to his words.
“That isn’t good, right?”
Caspian sighed. “No, it’s not. She tried to convince me to break off the marriage.”
“Wait, is that all?”
He looked shocked. “What do you mean?”
“I assumed she would want to have me killed off, but if all she is asking is to call off the marriage, isn’t that better?” It certainly was to me. So, why did he look so disappointed?
“Is that really what you would want?” he asked.
I bit my lip. “Well, I’d rather not die. If that is my only other option, would you not do the same?”
He rushed to answer. “I would never want to put you in harm's way, but…” he paused. “I couldn’t bring myself to agree. I told my mother I refused to call off the marriage. I-I’m sorry, Aurora.”
“Why are you apo

The Alpha King's Beloved Twenty-Two
By the time I was woken up by Caspian, we had reached a small town called Pretrinos Toichos, which translated to Rock Wall, as the entire town was surrounded by a large naturally formed canyon that protected them from the outside world. It was a small town but seemed to flourish with many different types of creatures, all bustling and running about as we entered what looked to be a marketplace. “Let’s see if there is an inn we can stay at. Stay here, I’ll look around,” Rosalyn said. We seated ourselves on a bench outside a small flower shop, the aromatic smell overpowering. Caspian kept sniffling and sneezing around them. “Come on, let’s go over there, she can still see us,” I said and walked him over to the blacksmith where there was another bench. “You folks clearly aren’t from around here. What brings you to Petrinos?” the gruff and burly man asked as he beat an axe with a hammer, straightening out the piping-hot han

“What in the world is a Draknol?” I shrieked.“Well, it would be that thing. A hard armoured beetle with 10 legs and razor-sharp teeth that carry some of the realm's deadliest poison. These things are so massive, the common folk here hunt them to make homes out of.”I stared at her in shock. “They hunt them for homes?”“We will probably be passing through one of the towns, you’ll get to see for yourself. Now, Caspian, can you handle that thing?” she cried out.“Are you crazy? Even if I shifted, I’d barely be half the size of it!”“Don’t be a coward! Its teeth are too small to penetrate through your fur if you shift, so come on! Fight for your wife,” she cackled almost, and it worried me the slightest.“That thing is twice his size,” I said.She scoffed. “I’ve seen him fight bigger.”“What, when?”“During the Alpha Trials, how do you think he became King?”I always assumed it was because it ran in the family. Was that not how it usually worked?“It usually runs in the family, if the fa

Come the next morning, we were ready to set off again. Rosalyn was saying goodbye to her daughter before she left, while Caspian and I loaded up the carriage with her things, though he wouldn’t let me lift a finger.“Ready to go? It’s going to be a long journey where we’re going,” Rosalyn said.“How come? Won’t we arrive there once we cross the portal?”She shook her head. “We will only land in Elven territory, but to get to Silvershire, it will take about 2 days journey by carriage.”2 days even by carriage. This realm had to be massive. I was even more excited now to see it. I was seeing so many amazing things I never thought I’d get the chance to see.All because I agreed to be sold off to the Alpha King. Who would’ve thought a supposed death sentence would be the best thing to happen to me? Mostly because of Caspian, he made it all possible with how charming and kind he had been since the day I entered the palace.“You said the place we’re going is Silvershire. Why is it named tha
The Alpha King's Beloved Nineteen
As we had expected, the Queen Mother seemed delighted by the idea of us going away for a few days, despite her having already revealed that she knows who and what I really am. You would think someone like that would want to keep her enemies close, but since she is also being monitored by her subjects and staff, she can only do underhanded tricks in the meantime.Without Caspian being there, she could have had more influence over the staff and plot a bigger attempt on my life for when we got back. But we would expect that much, and I was going to be on high alert until this situation was dealt with entirely. She must’ve figured out already that poison wouldn’t do much against me, which could only mean she was going to up her game.Carlak would be our eyes and ears while we were away, but that only made me concerned for his wellbeing. The Queen Mother didn’t strike me as the kind of person who forgave easily, especially to a member of staff. Carlak is Caspian’s most entrusted servant, s

Caspian wasn’t kidding. Warlocks had magical powers that they often embedded into physical items, like crystals. Each crystal acted as a conduit of some sort, and they all performed different things.What we needed was one that recorded real-time moments with the ability for it to be stored and played back. If we caught his mother in the act of trying to kill me, we could prove her wicked ways and have her title and power removed at the very least. Then, she would no longer be a threat to me or Caspian.He could finally be the King I knew he could be, without the oppression of his mother.The only problem was the relationship between Warlocks and Werewolves, or the non-existent thereof. There was no chance they would allow us anywhere near their territory, let alone a favour as big as that.“If there is no way they would lend us a stone, why are we entertaining the idea?” I asked Caspian over dinner that night.“We may have someone of use, it is said that there are trade alliances bet

Caspian was shocked and pulled back. “Are you sure?”“We are married, it is only natural.”He sighed. “I want you to want this, Aurora.”“I wouldn’t be capable of touching you if this wasn’t what I wanted,” I pointed out.“Fair enough, but I am being too rash. You are still recovering; I can wait until you are feeling better.”I almost wanted to argue back that I was feeling perfectly fine, but with the combined heat from his body and the soothing calmness of his presence, I soon fell asleep again.When I awoke, Caspian was still there as promised and was still fast asleep. I no longer felt like lying down and had somewhat of an appetite now, but with how dark it was outside, I assumed Carlak wouldn’t be up right now, and I didn’t want to wake Caspian.So instead, I lay there and took the opportunity to admire him while he slept. He looked so peaceful and gentle, it was a stark comparison to the cold look he usually carried in his eyes, but I bet even if he were to open his eyes at th
