The Lycan Prince’s Mistress

Riya slowly eased into wakefulness and realized with gratitude that her back was resting on a proper bed, she was very glad to know that she was laying on my own bed and it had all been a dream.She lay motionless for a minute, a relived smile on her face before she turned to her side and hugged the pillow to herself with a satisfied sigh. She had been so afraid to wake up and now she could only be thankful that everything had been a dream, that she was in her bed and not some bed of grass in an unknown forest. She refused to even contemplate the wild dreams that had plagued her sleep last night, she just pushed them to the back of her mind and silently swore that she would no longer be engaging in any werewolf movie marathons with her housemates.As was usual with her she struggled with getting out of bed, and wished once more that she had parents who could cater to her financially so that she did not have to get up for work every morning but she knew that it was either go to work an

“I hear there is a troublemaker among this crop of maidens, she has to be careful or she won’t be selected and you will have to dump her in the Royal harem.” a tall slender blonde young man said as he lay sprawled on a seat chugging down some wine in a gold chalice. “I can’t say that I blame her, if I was being forced to be picked like funiture by some prince I did not know I too would be belligerent.” a tall young man with dark hair who looked more muscular than his counterpart answered as he stood in front of the window and looked out at the horizon. “…maybe there will be something exciting to look forward to, who wants a woman that’s programmed to do your bidding?” “That is just silly. Any maiden would be lucky to be considered by you The Mighty Prince Caine.” the blonde man insisted. “I still think that it is a ridiculous tradition, I am supposed to be mourning the loss of my father, not getting entertained by a bunch of witless werewolves who aspire to a life of leisure.” Ca

The guards took Riya back to her room and went back out. she noticed that Isolde was gone and she wondered where she was gone, she went to the door and tried to open it and saw that it was locked, no surprise. Isolde was surprised that she had been brought back to her room, she expected to be taken to some dark musty dungeon underneath the building where she would have to spend the rest of her days. Riya swore at the gardener who had betrayed her. he was a terrible person, if he had not been able to help her escape how hard would it have been for him to look the other way while she went about on her escape but no, he had to stop her from running. she hoped that she never saw him again because if she did she would have to give him a satisfactory kick in the nuts, the jerk! She was relieved but she was also anxious because there was bound to be a punishment of some sort and she wondered what it would be. the door flew open without a knock and a beautiful middle aged woman in a flowing

After a tedious couple of hours spent learning how to apply make up on themselves Madam Naomi announced that they were finished with the day’s lessons and the girls could retire to their rooms and rest before dinner.“All except Riya can leave immediately, you will stay behind while the rest of the girls leave.” Madam Naomi stated.Chatter immediately broke out as girls glanced at Riya on their way out, some with pity and some were celebrating her downfall with smirks, they were glad at the thought of the competition being picked off.“Good luck.” Isolde whispered and tugged on Riya’s fingers before leaving.“There is no amount of luck that will help the wretch, she needs to be sent away so that she does not taint the rest of us and ruin our chances.” Willow hissed maliciously and bumped against Riya again before walking by.This time Riya was too preoccupied with her fate to care about Willow’s antics, she just wanted to know why she was being singled and left behind, granted she had

“Caine, where have you been? at this point you are going to be very late.” Theo complained as the door opened and when he saw his cousin dressed in casual linen pants and a matching shirt he stuttered in shock. “Wh wwait why are you dressed like that? Surely this is not how you are going to present yourself to the candidates. I am aware that you feel that they are underneath you but you do not have a choice.”“I am not going.” Caine said as he sat in an armchair and crossed his legs.“Not going?! What do you mean you are not going? In the first place tell where are you coming from?” Theo shrieked.“I am coming from my mother’s spot.” Caine explained and Theo’s face narrowed in confusion.“I thought that you went in the morning already, when did you start going twice in a day?”“I ran into one of the candidates today. Well, she ran into me if we are being factu
