تسجيل الدخولRonan POVThe dining hall had been full of laughter, and Flora was smiling beside Raphael as Gigi asked questions.Josie was laughing softly at something he said, and now, everyone was drinking, Rapahel had disappeared.I found him in the garden, concluding a call. The man moved through my castle like he had memorized every corner of it already.“Enjoying the view?” I asked. Raphael turned and didn't look surprised when I appeared.“I was wondering when you would come,” he said, and my eyes narrowed. “You were expecting me." I stated, a small smile touched his face.“Your Majesty, you have been watching me all evening.”I stepped closer.“Have I?” “Yes.” He didn’t sound offended, only amused.“You noticed.”“I notice many things.”The same words he had used at dinner, connections. Things others missed. I stopped a few feet away from him. “Then you noticed Liam.”The smile disappeared, only slightly, but I saw it.“What is?”“You didn’t ask why I was watching him.”My expression h
Ronan POV I had attended many important dinners, yet somehow my sister introducing her boyfriend made me feel more prepared for a battle than for a meal. Flora had been impossible to deal with all afternoon. "Try to be nice." "I am always nice." I gritted my teeth, and she stared at me, deadpan. "No, you're not. You literally killed someone in this very room last year," she reminded me, and I smirked. Alpha Arthur from the Yellow Moon pack. "He belittled Autumn and insulted our pack." I glanced around the room again; my wife wasn't back yet. After we left the headmistress's office, we separated and went back to our work, we didn't speak again. Rafe was desperate to see her again, as always. But she was taking her sweet time to come here. Someone coughed near me, and I glanced that way; Sadie was staring at me, her eyes sad. After what she did in the library, I've been keeping a distance from her. "Let me introduce you..." my sister said, rolling her eyes and pulling me aw
Josie pov The following morning, when I opened my eyes, the first thing that came into my mind was what happened in the library. "Liam!"I immediately got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. After doing my morning routine, I got dressed and rushed downstairs. "Liam?!" I asked the closest servant."Orchard luna. They are picking oranges and lemons for a cake recipe." She said, and I nodded, going to the orchard. I rushed across the courtyard into the orchard. I heard sounds of laughter and followed it.Liam was sitting on Kane’s shoulders, both of them trying to reach a lemon. "That's not fair. Now I'll lose since you're helping him." Flora complained, laughing.“You are taller than he is,” Kane said. “And I only picked three since I've been on his shoulders," Liam said. He was smiling from ear to ear. Yesterday, he’d been shaking so hard he couldn’t breathe, and today he was laughing and arguing with Flora. The doctor had examined Liam for almost an hour before declaring there
Josie POVI found Liam in the library hallway, sitting on the floor with a book open in his lap, he was happily. Since coming to the castle, he had discovered the library and decided it was his favorite place.“Liam?” I called, and his head lifted toward me; his eyes lit up.“Jo!”He jumped up, the book nearly falling from his hands.“I found this. It has stories and pictures of cartoons fighting.”“A comic book," I told him.He nodded excitedly. "Yes, a comic.""And I found a book full of Lycan kings, and Ronan was there too." He ran to the shelf and picked it out, showing me a picture of Ronan being crowned as king. In the picture, Ronan looked sad, though.“Was Ronan always a king?” Liam asked, with a frown on his face. “No.”“What was he before?”I smiled softly.“He was a boy just like you." I touched his nose, and he giggled, nodding. Before I could say anything else, a voice interrupted.“Liam.”The smile disappeared from his face, and I turned to see Sadie standing at the e
Josie POVRonan had barely spoken to me since we returned, and it hurt a little, especially after realizing that I was falling in love. I had tried so many times to ignore my feelings, my hurt, but I couldn't. We've been polite and professional when we meet and nothing else, only duty. It feels like I've lost him. “Luna?”I looked up from my files to a servant at the doorway.“The school headmistress has arrived.”I smiled and nodded.“Thank you. Please send him in.”I wanted to get Liam into the pack school. So far, he was adjusting well, but I needed him to feel like he was part of the pack.The school meeting went better than expected. The headmistress was kind, patient, and understanding, and agreed to interview Liam.“He’s intelligent,” the sharp woman told me after reviewing Liam’s assessments.“I know.” A small voice interrupted from beside me, and I stroked his hair with a smile.“Jo thinks I can do anything!”I looked down at Liam, he was trying very hard not to smile. He wa
Ronan POV“There is someone I want you to meet.”I gritted my teeth. I knew it was only a matter of time; Flora hadn't told me about her boyfriend, but I assumed she would sooner or later. The thought alone made every protective instinct rise.“Who?” I asked even though I already knew.“My boyfriend.”I stared at her.“You have a boyfriend?”She rolled her eyes. "Don't act dumb. I know Josie or Grandma told you about it." They did, but I wasn't going to rat out my sources, so I didn't confirm.“How long?”“A few months.”“Why hasn't he been introduced formally to us?” I gasped exaggeratedly. She shrugged. “I just wanted to be sure.”I nodded and took another sip of my drink, forcing myself to swallow.“Are you sure now?”Her eyes brightened "Yes! And he's ready to meet all of you now." "When?"“Next week.”"Please don't be too mean to him. Sometimes he says or does quirky things." "He's a weirdo?" "He's so cuteeeeeee..." I could see hearts in her eyes, and I shook my head; there w
