I'm stuck. I can't move. He is too close for comfort. And he is weirdly staring at me too. He is staring at me like I'm an exhibition.When I saw him approaching, I immediately lowered my head and started to beg for forgiveness, "Forgive me, your Highness, I didn't mean to annoy you, I was only trying to..." I paused my speech when I saw him stop in front of me; curious to see what he looked like, I lifted my head up and moved my gaze to his face. I expected to see an ordinary-looking man or a very good-looking male wolf, but nothing could have prepared me for the very thing I saw. Nothing could have prepared me for this. For him. For his looks.He looks... A gasp left my lips, and before I could control myself, I found my legs pulling me to the ground once again. A second gasp left my lips once I had landed on the floor.Moon goddess! He looks... He looks terrifying. His looks are not ordinary. He doesn't look like the rest of us.His eyes are strange; they have different colors.One
I'm on my way home right now, and I can't stop crying. It's difficult to believe this. I'm finding it hard to believe everything Her Majesty just told me.How is this possible? How come no one told me until now? How did my father hide something this important from me? How did he manage to keep it from me all these years? He watched me suffer. He watched me getting insulted and abused by his wife and his daughter for not having a wolf, and he didn't dare try to defend me for one day?He watched me wallow in pain; he watched me depressed over the fact that I didn't have a wolf. How dare he? How could my father do this to me? How could a man do that to his own daughter?He knew that I was not at fault. He knew what the fault was, but he watched me suffer.I can't believe this. I won't really believe it until I see him. I need to confirm this with him first.Why is my mother a Scarlet? Scarlets are special, rare beings. Scarlets are direct descendants of the moon goddess.Most Scarlets do
After regaining her composure, my stepmother charged at me again; she grabbed my hair and started pulling it."I don't care, bitch! I don't care what becomes of me; I must put you in your place; I must put you where you belong. I might as well kill you and go to jail. Yes, I better kill you now. I'll face the punishment. I don't care what happens to me; I'll surely kill you. I'll kill you; I'll destroy you." As she tries hard to pull out my entire hair, I look for every possible means to stop her.I attempted to grasp her hands, but her fingers became entangled in my thick hair. I tried to reach for her hair and also pull it out, but I was not tall enough to reach her short hair. And she's holding me in a way that makes it impossible for me to fight back. She is pressing me down; she's putting all her weight on me, but I refuse to give in.I refuse to fall to the floor. If she succeeds in taking me down, then she'll take full advantage of it. And who knows what she might do? She might
Writer's POVFlashback to the ballroom incident.The king was taking a walk in his private garden when Beta Waylen came in from the back; he paid his respects to the king and then stood behind him.A few seconds passed between them before the king spoke up; he asked, "What did she say?""She said not to worry, your Highness," Beta Waylen immediately responded."Not to worry? So she'll keep the competition open?" The king asked, but it was more of a statement."She has faith," Beta Waylen said."Hmm, faith. What do you think?""Your Highness, I also believe it's a good idea.""Hmm.""Her majesty is growing more anxious. S's a parent after all," Beta Waylen stated, but his words sounded funny to the king.He smirked and briefly glanced at his beta, "What do you know about that topic? You're just as clueless as I am."Beta Waylen also smirked, "I think I have more knowledge.""Really? Indulge me, I'm willing to learn," he chuckled, and Beta Waylen shook his head as he tried to hold back
Writer's POV Flashback to Sarah's second visit to the palace.The king was reading a file in his room when a knock came to the door, followed by a push. The door opened, and Beta Waylen walked in."Your Highness called," Beta Waylen bowed."Yes, she'll be here soon; when she comes, bring her to me," without looking away from the file, the king said to him."I will," Beta Waylen said, bowing respectfully and turning to leave. He paused at the door and then returned his focus to the king."Are you okay? Do you need her for anything?" He inquired, his concern for the king's health evident.Hearing this question, the king stopped what he was doing and replied, "No, I think I miss her.""What?! You miss her?" Before he could stop himself, Beta Waylen let out a loud exclamation. When he regained control of his emotion, he lowered his head and apologized, "Forgive me, your grace, that wasn't my intention," he explained."You don't need to apologize; I can tell exactly how you feel. And hone
As Rowan struggled to come up with an answer, Beatrice couldn't hide the visible anger she felt. How on earth? Why is this happening? Why would Sarah become a permanent member of the royal family? This implies that the royal family would treat Sarah with respect throughout her lifetime. No. This is wrong. This is not right. This shouldn't be happening.Genesis is the only she-wolf fitted for the king.After pondering over the question for some seconds, Rowan rose to his feet and answered, "I don't think I can accept the bride price. Forgive me, Your Majesty," he lowered his head and apologized. What? What is he saying? Beatrice scoffed, Is he refusing this great offer? I thought he loved his daughter. Does he not love her enough? What a fool! How can he reject such a life-changing offer? Well, I support his decision for his daughter. I fully support him. I don't want her to become a permanent member of the royal family either. Beatrice secretly thought to herself."You can't accept
Two weeks later Sarah's POVI am standing in front of the king's room with a tray of fruits, waiting for him to notice me. I've been doing this daily since I came into the palace, bringing a tray filled with different fruits to him. I've heard that he loves it and prefers fruits to real food, so I made it my duty to bring it to him every day.Just like yesterday and every other day, I'm waiting for him to open the door. The door is kind of strange; it doesn't open unless the king allows it. The only time I can enter his room is when he wants it, but why is it taking longer today?I've been standing here for more than ten minutes. Is he out? Is he asleep? But he is not the type to take a nap at noon. I've heard he barely sleeps.He is awake most nights and works during the day. He can't possibly be asleep, right?Should I knock on the door? Or should I just walk away? I'm confused.No, maybe I should wait. Yes, I'll wait five more minutes; he loves his fruits. He doesn't go a day with
The day Genesis apologized and begged to be my escort, I easily agreed to her request, not because I liked her. This was not because I had forgiven her, but rather because I needed to maintain a close relationship with her. In order to achieve my goals concerning her and my stepmother, I need to keep her really close.I need to make her believe that I have forgiven her. I need to give her the impression of a fool. I need to make her think that I'm a fool. I've been acting foolishly, allowing her to have her way. I let her come to my quarters, I let her into my chambers, and I give her access to some of my fits. I've been working towards achieving my goal; I can't let my anger ruin things now.I should apologize."I... I... I am sorry, big sister, I..." Shocked by my outburst, Genesis struggled to apologize."No, no, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I shouldn't yell at you, Genesis; I'm at fault; forgive me." I drew closer to her and also apologized.A big smile appeared on her face, and
A scream left my lips the moment he bit into my skin. I shook and wriggled my body in an attempt to escape from his tight grip, but his hold only became stronger. He is a Lycan prince; I have no chance against him. Even if he were a werewolf, I still wouldn't have any chance. He is too strong. They are too strong, and I'm too weak. My blood is the only strong thing I possess, nothing more. I only hope that His Highness receives the message and comes to my rescue. I hope he gets here before I die; I don't want to die. I don't want to be eaten. I hope I get rescued pretty soon.After tearing a part of my skin, he sucked on my blood and let out a loud, satisfied growl. "You taste so delicious. Everything about you tastes delicious.""I bet even your pussy will taste wonderful, right? What do you say? I should also get a taste, shouldn't I?" He smiled and quickly loosened his towel, then he forced me to face the wall. After this, he came behind me and lifted my night robes."You're not
Sarah's POV "What are you doing, sir? I didn't mean to knock on your door; please let me out," I shouted as I watched the male Lycan lock the door."Sir! Sir, please let me out. I made a mistake. I was searching for the werewolf King's room, not this one," I started to explain when the male paid deaf ears. "I made a terrible mistake, so please let me out.""Wait here." After locking the door, he faced me and said."No, I need to leave; please open the door." The minute he backed away, I rushed to the door and started pulling the handle, but no matter how hard I pulled, the door remained locked."Sir, let me out; I'll apologize properly tomorrow morning. I didn't mean to knock on your door.""You're already here, wait," he mumbled before walking into a room.Why should I wait? I don't know who he is. He might be a Lycan prince, but I don't really know him. Why did he pull me into his room? I need to get out of this room before he returns. I don't care what he says. After making up my
Writer's POV Same Day—EveningAfter receiving a response, Brielle opened Beta Waylen's door and entered his room."You asked to see me, sir," she said."Yes, what is your mistress up to?" Waylen inquired. "Nothing much; she's been reading; she also watches TV. There's a show she particularly enjoys," Brielle responded."Good, what else does she do?" He asked."Nothing.""She didn't tell you anything?" "I don't understand.""Tell me everything she told you; I want to hear it.""I... I don't understand, sir," Brielle said, confused. Why was she asking her such questions? "It's the king's command; he wants to know how she really feels about this place," Beta Waylen explained."She didn't say much, but she's quite bored; she wants me close.""What else did she say?""Nothing else, sir.""You're lying; you were with her all day. She must have said many things to you.""She only complained about the rude Lycan princess, that's all," Brielle added. His questions were beginning to annoy h
"Leave," he said."Yes, leave; you heard him," Vee groaned. "You have no place here; you should have never followed him here. You made a big mistake by showing your ugly face here.""I'm referring to you; leave," the king spoke again."Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to disobey your king? Or do you want me to help push you out of..." Vee was screaming into Sarah's face when Beta Waylen came in and stood behind her."The king wants you to leave," he stated."You are mistaken. His Grace wants her to leave and...""Please, Princess, kindly honor His Highness's request and leave.""You must be out of your damn mind! Out of your mind!" When she realized what was happening, she yelled into Beta Waylen's face before storming out of the room."You will pay for this embarrassment; I'll make sure you regret this." After exiting the room, she said out loud and disappeared.What is wrong with her? Why is she behaving like a total bitch? I'm sure she understood the king the first time but play
What is she doing besides his Highness? How come she's with him? And they seem to be working together. I was still standing at the door and didn't realize when both of their attention fell on me."What are you standing there? Get in," the king's voice broke into my thoughts."Who is she, your Grace?" Vee immediately threw the question to the king after his words."You don't need to know," he groaned, then moved his attention to Beta Waylen.He stared at Beta Waylen for a while before Beta Waylen backed away. I assume they just spoke to each other through their mind link. "Come on in," he repeated after he was done with Beta Waylen" "Tell me why you're here.""She's a she-wolf; she doesn't seem like your type, Your Grace. Why did you bring her here? I'm curious," Vee spoke up again, but I decided to ignore her. I can't just keep standing here. I need to speak.After clearing my throat, I fixed my gaze on the king. "I'll come back when you're less busy; I didn't know you would be this
It's been five minutes since Brielle came into my room. She arrived while I was still in the bathroom; I had to quickly put on some clothes. Brielle doesn't look too good. I want to ask her a lot of questions but can't bring myself to focus. Whenever I try to raise a question, I recall my moments with His Highness. How I kept touching myself with his fingers. This is terrible; it's bad. I want to forget that moment, even if it's for an hour. I want to know more about Brielle's experience.I need to calm down. After my short breathing exercises, I turned my attention to Brielle, who was sitting on one of the sofas in the room."Brielle," I called."Brielle," I called again after not getting a reply. She's deep in thought. What is she thinking about so deeply?"Brielle!" I called a third time, raising my voice higher and drawing her attention. "Yes," she jumped, "yes, Mistress." She turned her attention to me."What is up with you? What did they do to you? Have you been maltreated or
I didn't mean any harm when I hugged him; I definitely wasn't expecting him to react too well considering the type of person he was, but the way he reacted greatly shocked me. After I threw my body on his and held him tight, I felt him hesitate for five seconds; after the five seconds were up, he grabbed me and held me tight. He wrapped his large arms around my body, put his nose to my neck, and sniffed deeply. "You shouldn't have done that," he whispered, his voice coming out very husky and harsh, and then, within the next second, he released me from his grip and took two steps away from me.But before he stepped away, I had already noticed something different about him. His body. I noticed how his body hardened under my hold and how his heartbeat increased. I also didn't fail to notice how the mood in the room changed."Your Highness," I called, taking a step closer."You need to stay away from me, Sarah." He took three steps back, creating a bigger gap between us."Your Highness,"
It's been three days since we arrived here. Three fucking days of loneliness. Beta Waylen has refused to take me to the king. Every time I asked, he would tell me that the king was busy. He also refused to take me to the servants' quarters to see Brielle. When I asked him to bring Brielle to me, he also refused that request. He said it was not yet time. He asked me to wait till the weekend. Well, today is Saturday. He has assured me that I'll be able to see the king in the dining room today.He said it was mandatory for everyone, both guests and royal members, to eat together at the table. It was mandatory. It was the rule over here."What about Brielle? Will I see her today?" I asked him. He promised to bring her to me after breakfast today. Breakfast is at 10:00am today. It's a few minutes until 10:00am. I am anxiously waiting."Will I see the king's children in the dining room?" I remember asking him this question, and he nodded positively. "They'll be there," his answer was short
We had barely dug into our meals before the temperature in the room suddenly dropped to minus zero degrees. A lady in a white flowing gown walked into the room with a smug look on her face. Who is she? Why does she walk in as if she owns the place? For some reason, I don't feel good about her. It turns out I'm not the only one who feels disturbed by the lady's presence, judging from the expression I see on that princess's face."Hey, she's the one I told you of; I didn't expect her to actually show up," she drew closer and whispered to me.Oh, she's the 'Vee.' The lady who wants to be His Highness's woman.Well, she's not bad-looking, nor is she too beautiful. She's tall and slim, with long hair that surpasses her shoulder length. She has a sharp nose, dark eyes, and high cheekbones and exudes a high-class aura. "You started without me; it's not fair." She walked to the Lycan king and kissed him on his cheek."Hi, Dad, you look younger today; it doesn't seem like you're aging at all
