Ulrica’s POV“Don't tell me you're still sulking over the fact that your crush chose some cock over you?” I asked, my lips parting in disbelief as I watched Shayna continue to give everyone the cold shoulder. I couldn't help but burst out laughing - the whole situation was just too ridiculous. How could she be so upset over something so trivial? I mean, sure, getting rejected by your crush is never easy, but it's not like it's the end of the world. There are plenty of other fish in the sea! Everest groaned from where she sat, patting Shayna on the back. “Oh, please. That's rich coming from you.” she scoffed.“Don’t act all innocent. You chased after my cousin for years and didn't eventually get him. You shouldn't be acting all mighty, you know?”I had always known Everest to be a grumpy, no-nonsense type of lady - if you could even call her a “lady” with the way she acted. But I never expected her to be so fiercely protective of Shayna. I mean, when did they become best friends? The
Nova’s POV“Has she been given a name?” I asked, gazing down at my niece's tiny hand, her tiny fingers wrapped around my pinky. She was the most precious thing I had ever seen, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of love for her.Tamsyn shook her head, her eyes never leaving her daughter's face. “No, we haven't given her a name yet,” she said, her voice soft and full of wonder. “I was so sure it would be a boy, and I'd been planning to name him after his father. But now...I'm at a loss. I don't know what to name her.” She paused, her gaze shifting to meet mine. “I want her name to be perfect, to capture everything she is.”“What about Dahlia?” Prescott spoke up for the first time since we got to the pack and I had to turn around to stare at my husband from where he was standing at the far end of the room.“Dahlia?” I asked, not believing Prescott would want to take up the task of naming my niece. “Why Dahlia?” Tamsyn asked from where she was lying down on the hospital bed.Prescott
“The decision you make today will define your life tomorrow”Nova’s povThere has never been a time in my life where I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me than now. My eyes burnt with tears and my hands balled into a fist in anger and pain. Just a week ago, I was just a carefree young lady, living life like a normal young adult would, and today, here I was getting dressed in a fine signature wedding dress from the Lycan pack. A wedding dress that wasn't meant for me, but it was my fate to wear it.Every lady's dream was to get married to that one person they loved dearly but in my case, it wasn't a thing. I dreaded the thought of getting married to that bloodthirsty beast, and the thought of mating with him brought tears to my eyes.“Should I fix your makeup now, Princess?” Shayna, my maid asked for the second time and I moved my face to meet with her gaze. As I had thought, she had a faint smile on her face and I couldn't believe it.It seemed like I was the only one
”We all want to be seen as a hero, even though the things we do to help others escape their dilemma sometimes come back to haunt us”Nova’s povEvery parent's wish was to see the day they would be walking their children down the aisle, with smiles on their faces. Neither my parents would be walking me down the aisle, nor did they have that smile on their faces as they walked me out of my room.Mom mumbled a curse word as we spotted the Lycan king's men in our compound, waiting by their parked car with their cold gazes everywhere but on us.“Dad,” I suddenly called out to Dad making him abruptly stop on his track.“Yes, Princess?” he gulped down the guilty lump and I felt his nervous gaze on me.“Is there a thing you could do to stop me from going?” I knew there was nothing anyone could do to change the Lycan King’s will, but I couldn't help but ask that question.“Um,” he sighed and moved his hands to my shoulders. “I understand how you're feeling and I'm worrying about you, but I don'
Prescott’s povSitting behind this huge oak desk, examining different cases, from different packs was one thing I never enjoyed doing since I became the nation King.Aside from being the Lycan’s King, I was also the head King of the werewolves. My spices believed that the werewolves were our kind and they were too mild to lead on their own. I never believed that until I became the King after my father passed away. The werewolf wanted to prove to me that they were more than strong enough to rule their kind but I never ceased to prove to them how mild they were.Going through these files made me realise I was doing a good job in putting them in their places. Since I made the rules and gave severe punishment to the ones who broke the rules, there has been peace in the nation and I was grateful for that.A knock came on the door, I sighed and glanced at the wall clock to check if I had an appointment with anyone. But I wasn't expecting anyone until later.“Yes?” I grumbled, ushering whoe
Nova’s povA loud bang on the door was what woke me up from my sleep. I jumped off the bed seeing a shadow walked into my room and stopped right at the entrance.It was still dark and the light was off, only the dim light from the lamp was on, and it did nothing to let me have a proper look at the intruder that just entered my room.“Who is that?” I panicked in fear, I didn't know anyone here and I wondered how the person got passed the guard outside.“Shayna, is that you?” Shayna was taken to the maid's quarter the moment we got here, and I hadn't set my eyes on her since she left with the head maid.“Hello?”The light came on after the person switched on the light. I came face to face with the intruder and I felt my heart sank into my stomach.“The… The Lycan… King!” I gasped in shock, the look on his face was harder than when he came in the evening.He didn't say a word, neither did he move an inch. Standing there with his hard glare boring an invisible hole in my skin.“What… What
Nova’s povI trailed quietly behind the guards that were leading me to where I was going to meet my doom. After the Lycan king left hours ago, he had these two hefty men guard my door till the break of dawn making it impossible for me to escape.My body still ached from the bruises he left on me, I was been tortured by a Lycan which made it hard to heal quickly.My throat hurt so much but I couldn't do anything about it, since my hands were tied to my back.We got to the front of a huge double door and the guards stopped in front of the door. I need no one to tell me that we have got to where we were heading.“Go in!” One of the guards spoke up for the first time, I squinted my eyes, unable to believe that I would be going in all by myself.“Sorry? Won't you be going in with me?” I panicked in fear, I didn't know why but I preferred being with the deadly-looking guards to being in a room with the Lycan King, all by myself.The guard didn't say anything, instead, he opened the door and
Prescott’s povI stepped out of the room, after instructing Randale’s Princess to head to my room, I didn't know why I said that, but I wasn't thinking straight then.“Hey, summon the Elders to the courtroom,” I instructed Wharton, the Royal Beta through the mind link and I closed the link immediately I said that.I was going to do what they want and not the way they want it, if the elders disagree with me this time, then I would have no choice but to give them early retirement and rule the nation on my own.For the past few years, I have had enough of them, lecturing me on how to rule the nation because I was not a family man.“Give me a goddamn fucking break!” Wharton's hoarse voice howled through my mind and I looked around but couldn't find him anywhere.“Thought I closed the link?” I groaned, walking outside of the office building to where the courtroom was located in the inner part of the Royal walls.“Do I need your goddamn approval before I mind link with you?” I couldn't see
