At the PalaceOnce again, a crowd is gathered in front of the Palace. The news broke through the Kingdom that the Queen went into labor. Everyone is waiting with bated breath for the moment when the Royals will appear on the huge front balcony with the Crown Princes to show. It is a scramble to get to the front to catch the first glimpse of the twins. And then the door opens, Midnight Moon's Luna steps out.She talks to the King-Father and Mother, but no one can hear her words despite them deploying their Lycan hearing. The Queen's parents stand there, too. And then tears of joy roll down the cheeks of the Royals, they hug each other and thank the Moon Goddess. All eyes are strictly on the high rankings of the Palace. To everyone's relief, the door opens again.King Jasper takes the three women back inside. And then the women emerge with the pups. No one dares to breathe with excitement and fear of missing the magical moment. And yes, here
Secretary Eric's POV This is my chance!She refuses to participate in the festivities surrounding the birth of the Crown Princes, Jasper's sons. Jealousy is smeared all over her face. Jealous of her sister's happiness. This false cat I am going to tame, I have great plans for her. She has nothing to fear, in not too long, she will upgrade from an extended to a close Royal family member. Maybe not at her sister's rank, but she will not be insignificant at all.I keep in the background and follow her with my eyes.She previously did not join her family in attending the Kings and Queen's reception. When the commotion broke out in the banquet hall, she just numbly walked into the garden. She had absolutely no interest in her sister's crying that could be heard. Perfect timing. I kick out my cigarette and follow her. She sits down on a garden bench, cursing and swearing as she clenches her fists. "My lady, is something bothering you?" I ask as I approach her l
My knot is stuck deep in my mate's core when I hear an urgent knock at my front door.I sigh deeply and wonder which fucker picked this very time to molest my entry. Ivor knows that I am unreachable for the time being and he must see to the urgent matters. Now that the pups are safely born, all the Royals are concentrated in the Palace with top security. Is his little mate so boring that he must adjourn to my door? I let out a spiteful growl and look at my exhausted mate lying quietly beneath me. It will be a while before my knot subdue. For two days, we locked ourselves in my apartment.It was sex, sleeping and eating. The kitchen delivered our meals, which we used in my kitchen. After a refreshing bath, we were back in bed for yet another round of hours of sex, as only werewolves can. We took turns mating in human and wolf form, and I must say these were the most wonderful days of my life. Already on our first adventure, we marked each other. Rachel is now overjoyed t
Queen Rain's POV We sit in the Palace garden with our pups, enjoying the nice weather. The boys are growing steadily, it always amazes me when I consider that they are only two weeks old. But they act like two-month-old babies, already smiling broadly and playing with the music boxes hanging above their crib. And they are definitely bigger than the children their age I see on the Internet. At first, I thought it was because of their feeding and wanted only to breastfeed them, no extras. But Jasper explained to me that Lycan pups have faster development than humans or normal werewolves. Anyway, I am proud of my sons, they are healthy and growing like cabbage. Jasper sits next to me with the eldest in his arms. The young man adores his father, sensing Jasper close by is enough for him to stretch his arms out and babble a lot. Fortunately, Jasper makes lots of time to be with them. And then there is the rest of the family, who spoil both boys beyond measure. With so many grandparents,
King Jasper's POVRain is still asleep after our night full of passion. I smile as I look at her, my mate, my heart.She's insecure about her figure that just can't get rid of that baby fat. But she doesn't know how sexy she looks now with her full hips. I hope from tonight she won't worry about that. My lips graced her and gave her everything she craved. I showed her how she could excite me with the slightest touch. She is now the mother of my pups and that makes her that much more special in my life. The boys are amazing, the youngest has his mother's raven black hair, while the oldest oddly has inherited my brown-blonde locks. But the difference stops there, as far as their facial features are concerned, they are identical. My spitting image. Slowly I detach myself from Rain's embrace.I grab my sweater from the floor and put it against her face so my scent stays around her. Standing next to the bed, I put my jeans back on and go into the walk-in clos
Frustrated, I tap my nails on the tabletop.I'm just wasting my time here. The Sages are not taking us seriously, my Lycan is on edge. Over the last few weeks, I have been able to sense his strength, but I won't know how great it is until I rip the heads of the three men in front of me. They do not understand that I am capable of anything to protect my family. This whole Kingdom can be stolen from me, I'll just take Rain and my boys back to our pack. It is not that we are homeless or dependent on these weighty titles. Elder Nicolas hears us with an expressionless face.The others also show little of their thinking. I need to know their stance to decide my next move. I want to prevent Rain from knowing about Ralph's infidelity and rejecting him against the Moon Goddess' decision. And a rejection in the Royal family will have an unparalleled impact on the werewolf packs and on Ralph himself, especially if the reason becomes known to all. In the worst-cas
King Ralph's POV I keep a low profile.I still can't believe this happened to me. Never did I think of cheating on Saray, there was no woman attractive enough in my eyes to share the bed with. Saray is everything to me, for months I have waited for the moment of our physical love. Even now I get all kinds of visions of how that will all come about, the way I'll drive her crazy between under me. We were supposed to make arrangements the day after her coronation and I knew that night she would be mine. But she went into labor and that Jasper treated me like nothing. He made sure everyone around was aware that the pups were his, was unwilling to share the moment of their birth with me and just forced me into the background of it all. I stood in the maternity room against the wall as if I didn't belong there. No one involved me in the birth of the Crown Princes. The pain went deep, the Moon Goddess indicated to everyone that I would never have
At The OracleFour men stand in front of the Moon Goddess Oracle with their eyes firmly closed.They have been standing there meditating for about an hour. A crucial moment in the Kingdom has arrived, and they ask Selene for guidance. The Oracle has told them to wait until the Moon Goddess has heard several parties. The ancient Lycans are also consulted; not long after, she will relay her mission to the Sages. Yes, Elder Antony of Storm Forest has been added to the Sages of the Kingdom.He carries the history of the new inhabitants to the Kingdom. History will determine the present but no one in the room dares to make a prediction. It is waiting for Selene's word. All four know that the circumstances in the Palace are explosive. The King having committed adultery with a warrior and Eric's rejection of his second chance mate and sudden mating with the Queen's sister have heated up tempers considerably. In addition, intelligence reported to the Sages that E
