The look on the maids’ faces made me want to laugh. They seemed stunned, as if I’d told them to slap themselves. I’d never personally invited anyone into my chambers before.

Not like this.

I ignored their shock and entered first. A second later, I heard her footsteps follow.

The doors closed behind us, and the room went quiet. My chambers felt smaller with her there, but this was exactly what I wanted.

She stopped several feet away, posture straig

  • The Lycan Prince Maid   Chapter 122

    POV: GinaI did not really spend the night in my old room; I had thought no one would notice, but apparently becoming a royal representative between the Bears and the Lycans had truly upgraded my status.So, my treatment was also upgraded. Now I even had a maid assigned to me.Her face was unfamiliar, since I was not that accustomed to meeting all of the serving maids even when I was a prince.Comfort and luxury are truly how I would describe my new space in the palace, but strangely I felt unwelcome as compared to Maren’s old hut.By night, I had my dinner, a sumptuous spread that I had only had a bit of when I was eating with Prince Caleb in the past.But that was not the only new thing; now I can boldly say I have a meeting with the King of Lycans.This morning after my breakfast, a guard requested to see me.“Princess Gina, the king requests your presence. Once you are ready, I am to lead you there,” he stated respectfully.Even though I had seen him before, I still needed to be s

  • The Lycan Prince Maid   Chapter 121

    POV: CalebI requested a formal audience, which I know surprised my mother, so she had no choice but to agree with any objection.By midmorning, I was standing in my father's study with both my parents seated, the doors closed to prevent any interruption."I know why you're here," my mother said before I even said my first word."Then let me say it anyway. I would rather you hear it directly than assume my current thoughts."She inclined her head, permission granted, though her expression remained carefully composed."I intend to declare Gina my chosen mate formally," I said. "Not privately, nor as a rumor which court whispers are usually about, then everyone pretends not to know. It will be public, with whatever ceremony that it requires, as soon as it can be properly arranged.""Caleb—""I'm not asking for permission," I continued, before she could redirect the conversation the way she usually managed to. "I'm informing you, out of respect for my parents, before it becomes public kn

  • The Lycan Prince Maid   Chapter 120

    POV: GinaThe formal audience took place in the throne hall an hour after our arrival, once the courtyard crowd had been dispersed. The alliance's leaders — Thorne, Maren, Dessa, alongside Caleb, Lena, and myself — had been given time to wash the road from our clothes, if not fully from our bones."You'll want to stand at the front," Lucien told me, before the doors opened. "Not behind Caleb. Beside him.""Is that the usual custom?""No," he said, his tone filled with an underlying humor. "That's precisely why I'm suggesting it."The hall itself was fuller than I had ever seen it; there were nobles, council members, and the guards lining the walls. They were all watching with an intensity that made the earlier courtyard crowd feel almost restrained by comparison.Lucien addressed the room from the dais, his voice carrying easily across the space. "Weeks ago, I encountered a young woman in the royal forest, in the depths of night, standing among wards that have lain dormant for generat

    POV: GinaWe reached the border of Lycan territory on the ninth day.I felt it before I saw it — some old, familiar tension settling back into my shoulders the moment the terrain changed from wild mountain into carefully maintained road.I guess we are back to civilization."Word's already gone ahead of us," Lena said, riding up beside me. "My scouts confirmed it this morning. The whole palace knows a bear army is approaching with the maid at its center.""That's not exactly the story I would have chosen to precede me," I replied."No, but it's the one you've got, so we work with it." She studied me, an appraising gaze in her expression. "How are you feeling? Genuinely."I considered the question honestly before answering. "Strange. Like I'm about to walk through a door I've walked through a hundred times, except I'm not the same person who walked through it the first time.""You're not," she agreed. "Own it, d

  • The Lycan Prince Maid   Chapter 118

    POV: CalebWe could not leave in three days as planned; the bears had not left their territory for that long. So, the logistics of moving a bear army through unfamiliar territory extended the planning till day five.By the time we finally broke camp on the sixth morning, the whole procession stretched further than I had expected — Thorne's warriors, Lena's escort, Dessa serving as formal liaison, Maren riding near the rear with her old, watchful patience that never seemed to fully rest."To think after everything, our journey back home would be uneventful," Keith said, falling into step beside my horse."Don't tempt fate.""Fate's already had plenty of material to work with lately. I doubt one optimistic comment tips the balance."He was wrong, as it turned out, by the second day.The ambush came at dusk, near a narrow pass where the terrain forced our team on a walk narrower than any of us liked. They were Fabian's men, obviously a scouting party; still, they were organized and disci

    Old Brenna performed the rite at dusk, in the same clearing where the trial forest met the open ground; the whole settlement gathered in a loose circle around us.“This is not a crown,” she said, her voice carrying clearly despite its age-worn roughness.“We do not make princesses of strangers, however much their arrival matches old dreams.What we offer is recognition — that this woman stood before our council with honesty instead of ambition, that her visions have already proven true, and that our people owe her the standing of an ally.”She pressed a small, carved stone into my palm. It had a warm, smooth surface that I suspected had been worn by generations of hands before mine.“Carry this,” she said. “Wherever you travel from here, it marks you as one this land has chosen to trust. That trust is not given lightly, and it is not easily revoked.”I closed my hand around it, my throat

    Caleb POVMy mother strong-armed me to this soirée of hers; she spends the huge palace resources just to create a fantasy meeting of me meeting an aristocratic lady of choice.I got tired of coming since it was always the same set of people with the Lycan males' usual groveling and the females' thei

    Opportunities truly come, just that only the prepared get to use them.My desire to escape didn’t match up with the preparedness that I needed, but I didn’t know that then.“The palace will host a soirée tonight, it’s the Queen’s orders. Every maid is expected to help.”“Even me?” I asked, eyebrows

    “The most important rule is never to address or initiate a talk with the royals.You are at the bottom of the hierarchy, and you should act like that.If a royal member orders something, you provide it.Never look a royal in the eyes or else meet the consequences.”"You will learn the rest as you w

    “Chief steward, apologies for keeping you waiting. I’m glad you honored our pack!”I heard my so-called father say as he approached a wiry-looking man with gaunt but stern features. His stance showed he was probably someone to be respected, especially with the way my father was currying favor towar
