Prince Harad's POV StillAs we drove past the restaurant, we caught a glimpse inside. Fortunately, the girls were already at work.Alpha Dimitri wouldn't dare do anything to them with so many people around, so we proceeded to the hotel to get our affairs in order. Walter had already emailed the manager that we were renting the penthouse immediately. When we entered the lobby, he was already waiting for us. The penthouse is very expensive and only billionaires can afford it. It is no surprise that the manager personally deals with the tenants. "Mr. Godfrey, Ambrose, welcome to our hotel," the jovial man greets us. "I'm Micha, the manager of this establishment. I received an email from you, were you interested in the penthouse? Come, let's take a look." He shakes our hands and leads us to the elevator.As the doors close behind us, he provides a detailed explanation of the hotel's history. It turns out that his parents are minor shareholders,
Hybrid Xanna's POV The restaurant is brimming with frenzied activity today.Cissy and I haven't been able to get a moment to catch up yet. Harad's interrogation continues to churn in my thoughts, as Cissy and I unintentionally disclosed more about our past than we intended. They were very inquisitive about what had happened, even hinted being obligated to report it to the King. But we have little need for that.Once we have delivered the box, we can find a pack and settle there permanently. Cissy is right, dwelling on what cannot be undone would only inflict wounds upon ourselves. No pack will want to accommodate us for fear of Crescent Moon. We may be forced to leave America for another remote pack in Latin America or Europe. I don't really like that idea, I want to stay here, where everything is familiar to me. And then my mind gravitates towards Herod.Goddess, My heart is ablaze with an all-consuming love for my mate,
Hybrid Xanna's POV again Cissy's eyes widen in disbelief as she gazes at me, utterly dumbfounded.Despite being aware of my inherently bold nature, she clearly underestimated the response I would offer. Suppressing a giggle behind my hand, her hilariously contorted face only adds to the amusement of this situation. She blinked a few times before she gradually regained her composure."Have the toys lost their charm?" she inquired with surprise etched on her face. "I still vividly remember witnessing you having quite a blast with them. And it wasn't even that long ago.” I know she teases me, we always have a lot of fun with the toys we bought a year ago when our sexual feelings reached their peak. Our hormones ran rampant, flooding us with desires and amorous thoughts, and we found the perfect solution to this. "No complaints. But now that I've met my mate, it all feels different,” I refuted her. “He is
Prince Harad's POV After we arrive, we proceed to unload the car and carefully position each item in our roomy walk-in closet. Each of us has his own bedroom, which suits me perfectly. Once we have arranged all this, we decide to notify the King about what details we have gathered regarding the pack's disappearance. As we anticipate our meeting, we convene at a table in the vast open terrace and revel in the picturesque landscape. The sun has already retreated beyond the horizon, leaving behind an early evening breeze that delivers refreshing gusts of air. Walter opens his laptop and when the Palace emblem pops up on the screen, we wait for the King to accept this virtual conference call. “Walter!” the King calls out excitedly with a booming voice as soon as he appears on the screen. “I am delighted to witness that you have successfully located my sons. From what I can perceive they look healthy and well, hopefully, they behaved well in Crescent Moon too.” I roll my eyes, the Ki
A mysterious vehicle creeps towards the back of Stan's Fast Food where the apartments are located.It is the same luxurious vehicle that caused quite a stir in the restaurant parking lot hours ago due to its imposing design and exorbitant price tag. At the wheel sits a beautiful woman with her eyes squinting as she intently examines her surroundings. She behaves haughtily and is clearly of high rank. It has been ages since she last took the wheel, so she is no longer skilled at driving. Tonight, she's on a special mission and doesn't want any snoopers around; thus, she gives leave to her driver. Ultimately, she cautiously halts at the entrance of Cissy and Xanna's residence.“I think this is the right place," she asserted to her fellow passengers. “Our informant said their apartment is on this side. We can't be wrong, as there are only two in proximity and it's quite apparent that this one is newly constructed." Another woman in the vehicle taps a
Alpha Female Ciciane's POVThe Alpha Females were true to their word. After several hours, our SUV arrived at the entrance, and we were able to load up all of our belongings. It was quite disheartening to accept money from those with my parents and pack's blood on their hands, but I knew I needed to stay rational. With a car and money, I can complete my mother's assignment faster.We don't have to waste any more time now, if everything goes as planned, we should be in the Kingdom within three days. Our only concern is gaining entry into the Palace since it's not easily accessible to ordinary werewolves like us. In addition, I was constantly fearing that Xanna would give in to temptation and still have sex with her mate. His wolf would immediately know that she was his mate, as the pull would cancel out all other influences. And then I too would have to confess that Harad is my mate, that we are the females they chased on th
Prince Harad's POVThe piercing jangle of a bell abruptly wakes me from my much-needed sleep.I wonder who that might be, there is hardly anyone who knows about our presence here. And with our subdued aura, not a single werewolf in this area is able to recognize us.Even Cissy and Xanna don't know where we live yet. Last night I told Cissy that we rented a penthouse but did not provide any further details. Herod and I had promised our girls a date but were forced to postpone it after the King summoned us to find our mate. So we went back to that mysterious cave in the forest in the hope that our mates had returned there and we could find a fresher scent or any clue that could put us on their trail. And again we were disappointed, it was clear that they never went back.However, we did not give up, we scoured the area again, we noticed some scents here and there but none of them proved to be from our mates. Exhausted and dejected, we interrogated every soul that crossed
Prince Harad's POV stillWe leave the penthouse in the women's lavish vehicle.They have come well-prepared, their spacious vehicle is capable of comfortably accommodating six people, three of whom are robustly built men. As I sink into the back seat, I observe the proceedings, this seems perfectly set up to me.With Shiri behind the wheel, we zoomed towards a bustling pub nestled in the heart of town, roughly twenty minutes from Stan's eatery. To be honest, I was hoping we'd go there and I'd be able to catch a glimpse of Cissy or even pull her aside for a chat.We are currently seated on the terrace in a VIP corner with prime views of the bustling street. In front of me, there is a large table filled with all sorts of delicacies being served. But my appetite just can't get going, damn, this feels like cheating, not on my unknown mate, but rather on my stunning girlfriend. I turn my gaze outward and scan over the crowd as it moves along, probably to get to work on time. But
