Alpha Zade's POVI stirred awake the next morning, greeted by the golden rays of sunlight that poured into the room, streaming through the slightly opened windows. The light danced on the walls, illuminating every corner of my room and pulling me gently from the remnants of sleep. I tried to get off the bed and that was when I realized the weight on me. At first, I was confused, but then, I realized that it was my beautiful mate. A soft smile tugged at my lips as I gazed down at her sleeping form. Lenora looked delicate in the pale morning light, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Her dark lashes fanned against her cheeks and her lips, slightly parted, seemed to invite me to pause and admire her. She was an angel, pure and heavenly, yet here she was, lying in my bed. She was mine and nothing can ever change that. How could anyone let her go? How could that brute, Axel, cast her aside so callously, as if she were nothing more than trash, broken too?? The thought of
Zade's POV I had barely settled into the throne chair when the heavy mahogany door creaked open, breaking the silence of the Grand Hall and my Beta walked in. I was about to inquire about the task I had assigned him, to bring forth all the she-warriors, when the door swung open and they marched in, one after the other, their boots echoing against the hard ground. My jaw tightened as my gaze swept over their faces and I remembered the disrespect they had shown to my mate, their Luna. The memory of her hurt expression flashed before my eyes and a surge of anger coursed through me. My fingers twitched, itching to wrap around the hilt of the dagger at my side. The thought of punishing them for their insolence, of watching the life drain from their eyes, was almost too tempting to resist. "Easy, man. Don't let your anger get the best of you," Nathan's voice cut through the haze of my rage. His words, though soft, carried an authority that even I couldn't ignore. It was as if he
Lenora's POV I woke to the sound of the door creaking open. My hands instinctively rubbed my eyes, brushing the fog of sleep. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the person who had just barged in. Standing in the doorway was a figure I hadn't expected to see. Ever! It was none other than Alpha Zade's brother. What's his nameâŠ.. I trailed off as I tried to recall it, but it was out of reach. âZariel,â Zoey whispered in my head and I nodded faintly, my heart pounding and racing with different questions. I thought Alpha Zade had told the guards never to allow him here. How had he gotten here without anyone noticing? The packâs security was supposed to be impenetrable, yet here he was, standing as if he owned the place. âLook who we have here,â Zariel drawled, his voice dripping with amusement. He stepped further into the room after closing the door behind him. My instincts screamed at me to move, to defend myself in case he had any plans to attack me. Therefore, I shot up
Lenora's POV âWhat the hell is going on here?â He repeated in a low but dangerous voice, each word dripping with barely contained rage. Before I could even open my mouth to defend myself, Zariel stepped forward, his smirk widening as if he had been waiting for this moment. âOh, brother, you are just in time,â he drawled. âYour little mate here was showing me how affectionate she can be. Isn't that right, sweetheart?â He turned to me, his eyes glinting with amusement. My blood boiled. âThat's a lie!â I snapped my voice trembling with anger. âZade, he's lying. He forced himself on me! I didn'tâŠ..â Zariel cut me off with a laugh. âDon't be shy, Lenora. You were practically begging for it. Isn't that why you called me here? To entertain you while your mate was busy playing the good and perfect Alpha?â I felt my stomach churned, bile rising in my throat. How could he twist the situation like this? How could he make it seem like I had wanted any of this? My hands clenched into
Zade's POVWith a scowl on my face, I walked in, following my Beta as he pushed open the heavy oak doors of the courtroom. The elders seated on the high-backed chairs, looked up at me. Then in unison, they rose from their seats. âGreetings, Alpha. Greetings Beta,â They chorused in unison but I didn't bother to acknowledge their greetings. Instead, my scowl deepened as I strode towards the throne chair. I sank into the chair, my fingers drumming against the armrest as I surveyed the room and their faces. âWhat brings you here?â I asked, my voice low and filled with an irritation that I wasn't even trying to hide. My raised eyebrows dared them to waste my time. Pedro, the council leader, stood, his aged frame trembling slightly as he cleared his throat. âGreetings, Your MajestyâŠ..â âSkip the formalities, Pedro.â I cut him off in a sharp tone. âGet to the point. Why are you all here?â I asked even though my Beta already told me their reasons for being here. He hesitated, his e
Zariel's POV With a proud smile on my face, I walked into Elder Pedro's house, hoping for nothing but good news. I wanted to hear that my brother had given up and agreed to step down from the throne, for me. But that smile on my face disappeared as soon as I saw how crestfallen the old man looked. âElder Pedro?â I called out, but there was no response from him. Instead he just sat there, looking so dejected, like someone who was mourning the loss of his loved one. Wait a minute! Did someone die? I thought to myself as I got closer to where he was. I waved my hands across his face and that was when he took notice of my presence. âZariel, what are you doing here?â He asked in a sharp tone and I creased my brows in confusion, as I wondered why he was sounding that way. He didn't sound like this earlier! âWhat's going on? Why do you look so broody?â I asked, but he hissed. âThat doesn't answer my question, Zariel. What are you doing here?â He slapped me and I had to stop myself fr
Zariel's POVâTalia?â I called out, my voice cutting through the quiet air of the cafĂ©. She spun around, her sharp eyes locking onto mine, brows lifting in a mix of irritation and curiosity. âYou are ten minutes late!â She hissed, her gaze darting to the delicate wristwatch on her wrist. âWell, well, well,â I clapped slowly, a smirk tugging at the corners of my lips as I slid into the seat across from her. âSeems like someone couldn't wait to see me,â My tone was light, teasing, but her eyes narrowed. She didn't look amused at all. âWhy did you call me here, Zariel?â She demanded. I leaned back, feigning nonchalance even though her patience was evident. âThis isnât a good way to talk to your brother-in-law,â I teased again, my smirk widening. She scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest.âCut the crap, Zariel. I donât have all day. What do you want?â I leaned forward, my elbows resting on the table, my gaze locking onto hers. âI want to help you,â I said, my voice dropping
Zade's POV âHow did it go?â My mother asked as soon as she saw me walk through the door. I couldn't even answer. I just walked straight to the couch and plop down. Her soft chuckle broke the silence. âJudging from the look on your face, I can tell that it didn't go well,â She said teasingly and I exhaled sharply. Fuck! Those old hags! They'll be the death of me. I should have just killed them, instead of letting them leave the courtroom alive.âThey want me to send Lenora away,â I said, my voice low and strained. âAll because she was once Axelâs mate. They are claiming that she could be a spy, working for Axelâ My mother's eyes narrowed and her lips tightened into a thin smile. âAnd what makes them think they have the right to tell you what to do, huh?â Her voice rose slightly. She crossed her arms over her chest, her protective instincts flaring. âSince when do they dictate who stays and who leaves in your pack?ââIt's Zariel,â I muttered, my jaw clenching. âHe's behind th
Lenora's Point Of View âI'll miss you.â I pouted as Zade got ready for his journey ahead. Today was a new day and hence the day he is going for the Alpha's Summit. I had expected that we'll spend the day alone, but who was I kidding? As much as I wanted him to stay with me, I could not stop him from leaving. His hand paused on the buttons of his suits as he came to sit on the bed beside me. âDo you want me to stay with you?â He asked, but I shook my head. âNo, Zade. I can't stop you from fulfilling your duty as Alpha.â I said in a soft but firm voice. No matter how much I wanted him to stay with me, I CAN'T stop him from leaving and I meant it. âAnd I want you to know that nothing is as important as you. I really don't mind changing my mind about attending the Summit and spending the day with you.â I know that he wasn't bluffing. But at the same time, I can't stop him from attending it, especially as it was an important event. One that will benefit him greatly. He might want
Princess Lara's Point Of View Slap!!! âDo you really think that you can run away from your fate?â My father growled as his hands landed on my face for the umpteenth time. I can't remember how I ended up here, but what I vividly remember was the fact that I was caught by my father's watch dogs just as I was trying to leave. Man, I had thought that no one had seen me when I was leaving, but I guess I was wrong. Someone had seen me and I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it was Morana. She must have noticed my disappearance and had alerted my father's guards to find me. âI wasn't trying to leave, father!â I hissed through gritted teeth. My cheeks burned from where he had slapped me, but I wasn't willing to let him know how much it affected me. I wasn't willing to let him see the pain in my eyes and it was because that bitch was with him. Like I always say, the last thing I wanted to do was to give her the satisfaction of seeing me hurt. She was even smirking like someone who
Lenora's POV He wanted me. With each pass of my hands, I grew rougher, edging closer to his cock, teasing him just enough to make him squirm. I wanted to feel him leap into my touch, to crave it. Slowly, I increased the pressure, until I finally wrapped my fist around him, feeling the heat radiating as he twitched in anticipation. His cock stiffened in my palm, and the dampness between my thighs mirrored the intensity of his growing need. My lips pressed against his neck in time with every stroke, tasting his skin as his breathing became ragged. I quickened my pace, my fingers curling tighter around his length. His moans deepened, growing louder with each squeeze, the tension building with every deliberate stroke.âFuck!!!â He jutted while he leaned into my touch. He seemed to want more, so I decided to give it. I pressed my hand against his sternum to steady him. âStay like this,â I whispered as he lay there on his back, cock standing to attention as if saluting me. His breathin
(Author's note- this chapter and the next is gonna be an erotic scenes. Please don't hesitate to skip if it's not your thing. Thanks and have a blessed Sunday) ******* Lenora's POV âI want you.â I whispered in Zade's ears as soon as we got to his penthouse, the one he had prepared for our honeymoon. I love the fact that we weren't spending our honeymoon at the pack house. At least we get to do whatever we want. A blush crept up my cheeks as I thought about my last words. âWhatever we wantâ. âWhat do you mean?â Zade asked, his brows furrowed slightly. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that he knew what I meant. He clearly wanted me to spell it out. Two can play this game after all. âIâm willing to show you what I mean.â I cooed, while my eyes narrowed in determination. Zade took a measured breath and looked me up and down. He knew what I meant, but I reworded it, just in case. âIn case you need a little clarificationâŠâ I pushed forward, so we were chest to chest, and I peered
Dear readers, I sincerely apologise for the duplicate chapters. It wasn't intentional. It was due to network congestion, and at the process, the chapter was duplicated, but I didn't realise it earlier. By the way, I've already emailed my Editor and once she's back from her holidays, she'll review it and it will be replaced. I am assuring you that once the chapter has been replaced, you wouldn't have to pay for it. It'll be replaced automatically. I am sorry once again for the confusion caused. Thanks for your understanding đ
Princess Lara's Point Of View It's either now or never. I can't let my father dictate my life for me. I have someone I love and I won't let him ship me like I'm some goods to a beast like Alpha Zade. âRelax, Lara. You shouldn't call him a beast yet. You haven't had any dealings with him.â Lyra said to me, but I rolled my eyes. âTrust me, Lyra, he's a beast. No one has ever come in contact with him and survived it. He is.â âWell, you wouldn't say that unless someone had. So relax. He might not even be as bad as you painted him.â âI don't care to know, Lyra. I can't get married to him. I have to leave.â âCome on, Lara, don't do something that you are gonna regret later.â she pleaded, but I turned deaf ears to her pleas and before I could help it, I bolted for the door. But that was the worst mistake I've ever made in my life, because the next minute, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it was my father. âYour MajestyâŠ.ââWhere do you think y
Talia's Point Of View I didnât know how long Iâd been out, but the sound of knocking jerked me awake. I sat up too fast, and a sharp pain shot through my head. Wincing, I grabbed my temples, in an effort to alleviate the pain, but it did nothing to help the pain. I gazed around the room trying to recall how I ended up here and almost immediately, the memories hit me like a wave. I gritted my teeth in anger. That bitch! She had come to my house some hours ago, and pretended to want to talk to me, yet she had drugged me and dragged me here. I'll never forgive her for this. I need to get out of here, but how? I quickly stared around the room, trying to find any object that I'll use to hit whoever comes in. Thanks, I found a hockey stick and very quickly, I hid it under the pillows. I don't care who is gonna come in, but I'll hit them. I don't care if it's gonna be Kathryn. After all, that bitch deserved to die. She has done more than enough already. She has hurt me more t

Princess Lara's Point Of View (6) Today is Alpha Zade's Mating ceremony? I couldn't believe my ears. No, I didn't want to believe it. âAre you sure about this, Sara?â âYes, my Princess. The news was published on the television. And it was announced by a verified Blog, therefore I have a feeling that it's true. Today is indeed his mating ceremony.â Wait a minute. Alpha Zade has a mate, yet he has decided to get married to me? Or did he not care about his mate's feelings? Did the poor woman, whoever she is, even have any idea that her mate was getting married to the Princess of Samaria Pack in the next full moon night? âWhat if she knows about it, yet she still agreed to it?â Lyra mumbled? âShe might love him and wouldn't mind. Don't you think so?â Goodness! I don't want to believe that she'll really agree to it. I took my attention back to Sara. âWho is the woman in question?â âHer name wasn't published, nor was her picture uploaded either.â She replied and I rolled my eyes. C
