Liora's POV

“I thought we might take a tour this morning. We’re leaving the palace shortly to visit a small retreat my mother built high in the mountains to the south. It’s a quiet, beautiful place, and I want you to see it.” My mate says over breakfast.

I haven't for one single second stop thinking of all Lady Elenour told me last night. I didn't ask my mate why he would hide such things from me, but I have been trying to figure it out without accusing him. But I can't find a single reason he'd do that.

I push my plate aside. “I had a very illuminating conversation last night with Lady Eleanor." I tell.

His teacup pauses halfway to his lips but the calm in his eyes does not waver.

“Ah. Eleanor is rarely one to keep her thoughts private,” He says, finally taking a slow sip of his tea. “And what did she deem worthy of your attention?”

"What did you and her speak about the first night we arrived here?” I question instead of answering him.

She questions and bows to the Emporer."You gave my mate information I clearly asked you not to and now she's many questions." He chastises but lady Elenour doesn't look the least intimidated."I did what I thought necessary, your majesty. Forgive me if I went against your orders." She smiles.My mate is about to chastise her more but I cut him off."He wants to run," I blurt out to her. "He wants to let go of the throne. He wants to flee south and leave the Empire to prince Tedmold and Heather to run. If you can help change his mind, please.". "I had told you everything in hope that you would be able to convince him." she says her gaze returning to my mate. "You are choosing to abandon your people? To abandon what your

  • The Mate Lottery: I Won The Emporer    Price of Trust

    Liora's POVI make my way to the palace kitchen to get my glass of water. For some reason I am always thirsty after a meal involving meat or fries. And the meals here never miss either. I pour myself a full glass and take several sips before hearing some noise behind. I turn and see a figure standing in the dark. I lower the glass as my heart beat picks up spread. The figure steps into the light and I realize who it is. "Lady Elenour," "Yes, it's me. I came around hoping I'll get a chance to speak to you." She answers stepping into the light. "Shall I fetch the Emporer?" I ask."No...no. I was acctually hoping to speak to you privately." She tells.What would she wish to tell me privately. "Okay."“We need to talk in a more secure room. People come here all the time,” she responds.“Follow me.” She moves quickly, leading me away from the bright kitchen. We finally stop into the palace library.She turns to face me. “I am here to ask you about the wishes, Liora. The one you gifte

  • The Mate Lottery: I Won The Emporer    Inevitable Trouble

    Liora's povI pour a cup of hot tea for my mate while the morning breeze blows my hair over my face. Lordrin gently pulls it back before picking up his drink. I hated our first picnic, but I have finally grown to like eating outdoors of the palace.He scowls after tasting the tea. "That's the first bitter tea I have ever tasted," He comments with a laugh. I frown because I made the tea. I thought it was a good idea since I wanted him to have something made by me. So I made tea and baked our morning cake. I'm glad we are still enjoying our life despite the bad news that came through yesterday. "Oh dear, you have never cooked before, have you?" He asks after tasting the cake.Surely it cannot taste that bad.Even when I lived with my father, heather and her mother I never got the job of preparing food. Her mother despised me so much that the only tasks I got were those that involved cleaning their dirt. I rarely got into the kitchen."Yeah, it's really awful," I answer with a laugh af

  • The Mate Lottery: I Won The Emporer    The Rebellion

    Liora's POV"Hold tight!" My mate voice roars over the wind and my arms clamp tighter around his neck, my face buried into his shoulder. His massive wings propel us over the sun-drenched green hills.Despite my crushing fear of heights, he always finds a way to convince me to fly with him. But I'm grateful he does, it has been three months since the island of luck and our mate bond is stronger than ever. He has been nothing less than a loving mate. Now I feel like I have known him for a lifetime. He performs a breathtaking, dive, before pulling back up and my stomach flip. I let out a half-scream, half-laugh of pure terror."Don't worry," he chuckles, his chest vibrating against my ear. "I would never drop my future Empress."And then goes ahead to do it all over again."You like that, don't you?" he teases, hovering us thousands of feet above the world, which is now reduced to a beautiful, vast green tapestry below."No, I hate it! Take us down!" I wail.I know he wouldn't drop me b

    THREE MONTHS LATER Princess Heather's PovI silently eat my food while watching my father sip his wine like he has no interest in eating.He hasn't spoken a word to me since I came back to his pack. It's obvious that he is ashamed of me, every member of our pack is. Except my mother, of course. Her love is just as strong as it was the day I was born."Try the pancakes. Our daughter made them herself. She is practicing her cooking skills," she tells father."Of what use is her cooking skills when she has already been rejected and sent away by her mate?" he questions with a sneer. Mother shakes her head. "We should be thankful that his Majesty accepted her in the first place. He wanted the most precious of women. But our daughter managed to have him even if it were for a while. A love like that can never fully die. I'm sure if our daughter were to ask his Majesty for anything, he would definitely not denie her." she defends me. But my father still frowns. "That love is over. His Maje
