DIANA'S POV
I woke up late and tired in the morning with a strong headache and aching body but after having a refreshing bath in a bathtub filled with nice rose fragrance, I felt a lot better before I changed into a royal blue off-shoulder mini gown and packed my hair in a messy bun as I always do when I'm at home.
I stepped out of my bedroom and met Stella waiting for me in my living room with my definition of a perfect breakfast.
"Scrambled eggs and Smoked salmon for breakfast! Is that a bribe?" I inquired excitedly.
"Yes. And I will feel blessed if you accept it." Stella replied.
Her violet eyes looking pitifully at me were too beautiful to ignore and I also felt guilty for being so rude to her.
"Sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to be so rude." I apologized as I sat on my chair and allowed the aroma of the food to take away my breath.
"No need to be sorry, my princess. I crossed the line." Stella replied.
"You sure did," I muttered to myself and just then, Aiden entered the room.
"Hey ladies!" He exclaimed in such excitement but was surprised by our reaction as I continued devouring my special breakfast while Stella just folded her arms and stared at him.
Aiden was my favorite cousin and also my best friend and even though he was already in his early twenties, he still behaves like a teenager most of the time and just like now.
"Okay... it's obvious no one missed me." He frowned as he found himself a seat beside me and wrapped his arms around my tender shoulder but my body temperature didn't allow him to keep his hand there for long.
"Girl, your body burning hot." He exclaimed but I didn't want to dwell on that and rather I changed the topic to something I know Aiden would love - Women!
Whenever he is this excited, he must have definitely found a new girl that catches his fantasy.
"You seem so lively today, what's the secret?" I asked, funnily with a mouthful of smoked salmon. I didn't want to be too forward as it would ruin the mood.
"I got a new girlfriend." He exclaimed.
I knew it. Ocean blue eyes just like mine, a protruding nose complimenting his thin lips and a sturdy body, average height, Aiden was indeed a die for, at least, for the palace maidens.
"Oh really? A new palace maid?" Stella and I chorused since we already knew that was what he would say.
"What about Elena? How can you love many women at a time?" I asked.
"Yeah…really. You know, I want to be serious with Elena but she would never agree to date me because I'm your cousin and we're so close." He replied, frowning a little. "By the way, you both don't think I can keep a lady right?" He asked, his face lightened up before grabbing a piece of my scrambled egg into his mouth.
I furrowed my brows at him hoping he'd drop it down but it was too late because he was already munching it happily.
"Well...you've never acted like someone who could keep one." Stella let out.
"Don't touch my food again!" I warned sternly for the love of it but I know Aiden is not the type that listens to anyone well except for the King and his father who is my uncle.
"Well...Elena told me she loves you but dating is not for her kind. I'm not sure what she meant but…" Aiden's manic laughter made me stop talking and a frown crept into my face.
"You don't believe me! Elena and I chat casually sometimes!" I explained but that silly look of disbelief will never leave his face as long as we keep talking about Elena so I decided to rest my case.
Aside from Aiden, the whole campus will never believe Elena and I do talk casually with the way we always quarrel in college.
"Ok, what about your new maid girlfriend?" I asked, changing the topic.
"Yeah...I was with her all day yesterday." He stated in a muffled voice that got me suspicious. Aiden can't hide his emotions from me.
"What's wrong?" I inquired.
"Well...I unintentionally hurt her yesterday. I made love with her roughly without knowing it was her first time." He explained, causing an awkward change in my face as my cheeks flushed but only Stella noticed this.
"Were you...not going to make love to her if you knew it was her first time?" I managed to ask.
"Maybe! I really don't like being the first with someone I don't truly love but at least, I would have been more gentle with her." He answered. "She was only scared of telling me because she thought I might find her rude...how naive of her." He scoffed as a soft giggle escaped his lips. He looked so happy talking about her for someone who isn't so sure of his feelings.
"But...did you have sex with her all day? Why were you with her all day?" I asked again.
"Of course not, we made love two nights ago after having helped you with opening your gifts but when we woke up in the morning, I found out she was in so much pain because of the sex so I had to make her stay in my room and also stay with her to prevent her from working throughout that day." He explained and I became uncomfortable as I listened to him narrate his story.
The maid and I had something so similar but she was treated much better than I was.
"T-that's…so caring of you." I managed to say with trembling lips.
Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes until it was hard not to notice the pain in my clear blue eyes.
My lower lip jutted out as I tried to withhold the cry that was making my throat ache but when I couldn't hold it any longer, I stood up and ran out of my room into the passageway of my chambers
"What's wrong with you?" Aiden shouted after me but there was no reply from me. I didn't have a reply to that question because what is wrong with me is just too embarrassing to tell.
I didn't know what or who to blame last night on.
If I didn't feel intimidated by Elena's G-string gift to me yesterday, maybe I wouldn't have gone this far but then Prince Kurt gifted me an erotic fantasy book which I was reading before Louis came into my room.
In the end, all this is just an excuse. What pushed me to Louis was divine. It was definitely beyond natural and I will find it out no matter what it takes.
I paced about the front of my Chambers, still trying to figure out what to do next. Even if I acted too cheaply, Louis had no right whatsoever to treat me like trash. Even a maid was pampered after her first night. Why did my own have to be so fucking different?
"I think it's best to confront him," I mumbled to myself and then I wiped off the tears on my cheeks with my right palm before heading towards Louis's apartment.
Getting into his apartment was a piece of cake and as I went in, I saw the whole room empty and dark and I switched on the light.
For a moment I forgot he was staff here and shouldn't be lazing around by this time.
I assume he will definitely be by father's side now so instead of just leaving the room, I decided to take a look at the beautiful interior of his room and go through Louis's stuff.
His apartment was very decent. For just a knight, his living room was about 12' x 18', three various sizes of couch filled the room perfectly and the flat-screen TV which I doubt he uses was situated at the southeast corner of the room.
I trespassed into his bedroom which had a medium-sized bed and a small table beside it. His room was squeaky clean so I began to wonder what time he takes to clean this up. It's rare to see men doing house chores.
I couldn't help but imagine how sexy he'd look if he was half-naked with his big muscles and hairy chest as he cleaned his room.
The sound of uneven footsteps walking towards me tugged me off my fantasies and that strong manly scent of his creased my nose. I attempted to run but before I could, I felt a wet, manly hand hold my left arm firmly to himself and I could tell who it was as that unbearable lustful desire struck me again...but thanks to the unbearable pain I felt on my arm, my stupid thoughts slowly fade off.
"Uhmmm...I swear I-I...didn't touch anything." I stuttered as I tried to explain to him but his grip on my arm only tightened and the pain became even more unbearable that I had to complain, "You're hurting me, Louis." I managed to say as I tapped Louis's wet hand which was holding firmly onto mine.
Louis hesitated before he turned me around to face him and finally let go of my hand.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?" He lashed out, his eyes shooting daggers at me.
"I-I...uhmmmm…" I couldn't make a single sentence as I stared at Louis's bare body which was dripping wet with water indicating he just had a shower.
His towel hung perfectly on his waistline giving highlight to huge maleness. When his hair is not packed in a high bun, they are found laying on his broad shoulders just like now only that they were also dripping wet just like his chest hair was.
He didn't have facial hair but its traces were still visible and I assume he put in a lot of work to shave that off. I might have probably asked for his hand in marriage if he didn't shave them off.
Fuck! Why does this man have to perfectly fit my dream man? All my pain seems to fade away anytime I'm lost in his world.
"I asked a question, Princess." He scolded, tugging me off my Dreamland.
"Can…can you at least put something on?" I managed to ask as an unbearable force seemed to pull me towards him, making me want him with an urge that shocked me.
I know I fantasize about him but he's not the first. I've always been like this with every handsome man I set my eyes on but with him, it was different.
He walked closer to me forcing me to walk backward until I was forced to halt as I stumbled upon the bedboard and fell on Louis's bed.
Louis only stopped walking towards me when he came right in front of the bedboard.
My breath quickened and my heart throbbed furiously in my chest that I had to hold onto it with my hand as I thought it might fall off.
Just when I thought I finally had my heart in control, he bent over to my height and traced his hand on my pale face, making my heart jump to my throat.
This isn't the first time I'm been touched by him but it still feels new every moment.
I shuddered at his touch and as the water from his body dripped on me, I shivered and couldn't prevent tiny goosebumps from revealing themselves on my skin.
For a brief moment, I swear I saw flashes of lust in his eyes but as quickly as it came, it disappeared and he stood up to his feet again, his ever stern gaze returning to him.
"Get out of my room now!" He lashed out, his back turned against me.
I didn't know whether he expected me to just run off at the sound of his harsh voice but I'm definitely not leaving this place just like that.
I stood up to my feet and wrapped my hands around his waist, stroking every part of his body my hands could touch.
I thought I might not succeed today until he turned around and kissed my lips passionately, making me moan to the kiss.
The heat from his body so close to mine made me feel lascivious and with the dark cocoa scent his mouth gave off, I could tell he had coffee just before I came. His body felt warm as I traced my hands down his it.
Slowly the pace of our kiss became faster and filled with so much lust as we craved each other's arousing touch.
Tonight was definitely different from last night and even though I swore I wouldn't do this again, I just became helpless when he was by my side.
It soon went from kissing to making out then, it began to progress even more as our minds were clouded with desires and longing to be closer and closer.
I let out a pleasurable moan as he lifted me from the floor and had my legs wrapped around him as we laid back on his bed, fully ready to spend the rest of our night together.
Hi guys! This is my first shot at werewolf royal romance. How has the story being? Let me know in the comment section. Thanks for taking out time to read my book.
NICHOLAS' POV I woke up quite early the next morning and met Diana still fast asleep and still very naked I had to cover her up with the blanket. I couldn't help staring into her beautiful face and I was tempted to touch it. "She's such a sleeping beauty, right?" Louis asked and I quickly withdrew my hand which was on its way to touching her face. "I don't know what you're talking about." I retorted before I hastily stood up and hurried to the washroom. I quickly washed up and changed into my work outfit which was a pair of black Jean trousers and a black leather T-shirt in the form of a jacket. Ever since the king left the palace, my workload increased as I had to guide his Chambers personally and prevent anyone including the princess from going in since I was the only one in the palace who knew about his travel. Just as I was putting on my black sneakers, my phone which was just beside Diana started buzzing off and I hurriedly ran to pick it up hoping it wouldn't wake her
DIANA'S POV As I tried to talk, I felt a huge lump in my throat making me remain speechless. My heart has never ached like it was right now probably because I've never imagined being rejected in such an embarrassing manner. Maybe it was too late but it finally dawned on me that sex is not love. I have always gotten whatever I wanted in life which made me delusional about making him mine but like Samantha always says, "You will never have everything you want!" Even though we are not always on good terms, I think she told me the truth but it took me too long to realize it. In the end, Louis was not to blame at all, after all, he already made himself clear to me all along, it just took her this long and painful route to find out just how much he hates me. My legs felt so heavy that it took me almost 10 minutes to walk a 7-meter distance from Louis's room to the door. The journey to my Chambers was definitely long but I still wish I don't ever get to reach there. I walked very
NICHOLAS POV A dark cloud seemed to hover around me after she left my apartment. For some reason, I felt empty again. "You miss her don't you?" Louis asked, provoking me. "Why will I miss her? Louis if you don't have anything more important to say fuck off my mind!" I scolded, scaring Louis away. My eyes fell on the coffee she made for me and I picked it up again and had a sip but it suddenly tasted very bad. I didn't know if it was my taste buds that had suddenly gone bad or it was the coffee or something else but all I know is that it was too bad for me to drink so I threw it out. "What was that about?" I heard Ava's voice and then I remembered I was on a video call with her. "It's nothing you should concern yourself about," I replied hoping she'd end the topic. "You had sex with her again?" She asked angrily. "I told you it's not something to concern yourself with!" I yelled but Ava was used to my yelling now. It didn't matter to her how much I yelled, she would conti
DIANA'S POV Just when I thought I could finally have a good night's sleep, a loud, heart-wrenching howl came, followed by a sudden power outage. I was startled as this was the first time I was hearing an actual howl and witnessing a power outage but the only person that came to mind was Louis. I began to feel very uncomfortable and no matter how I tried to stop myself from thinking about him, it just proved impossible. I became more restless by the passing minute as the urge to see him increased. Even though he always says hurtful things to me, I still cared a great deal about him. In the end, my subconsciousness won over me and I took to my heels again, making my way out of my chambers and down to his. The guards outside my chamber were quite startled by the howl and they tried to restrict my movement but I was just too adamant about checking up on him so I ordered them out of my way and hurried off to his room. His room was dark as expected since there was a power outa
NICHOLAS ' POV It took me almost 10 minutes of sitting in the bathtub before I could finally let the water rush out of the tap. Last night was just the tip of the iceberg compared to the miserable nights of my life. Apart from the pain of losing my father at the young age of 10, I spent my tenth birthday and most of my later life in a dark underground dungeon and for that reason, I am extremely terrified of darkness. When I was not locked up in the dungeon by my stepmom for petty theft, I was sent to undergo harsh training deep inside the forest where many rogues who were banished by my father resided. At some point, I was even given away to one of them but luck was on my side to have had my mate at age 13. Even though Dad had died before I got my wolf, he had trained me to prepare for this because as he had rightfully guessed my wolf was extremely aggressive. He made audio recordings that I could listen to as if he knew he won't be there when I have my wolf. The creaky sound
CHAPTER TEN DIANA'S POV My nose picked up an oddly pleasant yet thick scent and a rush of air gushed into my throat making me almost choke on it if not that I quickly opened my mouth and let it out. I jerked off for a while before my eyes slowly opened on their own. I noticed I was the only one in the room and I crawled on all four, my nose leading me to the scent I perceived. "There it is," I whispered with so much delight as I rushed towards a bowl filled with a red thick drink just beside the bathtub It was only after I gulped down the whole thing that I noticed my fingers had turned into long, sharp claws and my teeth, into fangs and when I saw my reflection In the water inside the bathtub, my eyes were no longer an ocean blue again but light honey. "Help…" I screamed at the top of my voice before I noticed Louis standing by the door. "L...Louis, W-what's...h-happening to me? What have you done to me?" I asked with trembling lips. Louis walked closer and bent down to my
CHAPTER ELEVEN NICHOLAS' POV "Leave my room as soon as you have transformed..." I could barely complete my statement when my phone buzzed in my pocket and I quickly reached out to check what it was. "You didn't let me finish what I had to say yesterday but it's important. I think that woman knows what you look like. I heard her say the last time she saw you was in Jutland and the last time you went there was just a few days before you arrived in Sweden. I thought I should let you know." I read the text I received from Karen to myself. How come she knows me? Ever since I became the pack leader and also the King of Denmark, I have never held an official coronation and therefore most people outside my packhouse don't know my face. I have always kept myself outside social Media because ever since I was a child, I've always prepared for my revenge, and had my face been on the internet, I wouldn't have been able to go this far with my plans and the hatred my stepmom harbored for me he
NICHOLAS' POV "What is it that Diana desperately wants to hide and you're helping her to?" He asked again. "Is that the first thing you should ask after finding out who I am?" I replied before slowly turning to meet his gaze. His shoulder stooped as he dropped his head and stared blankly at his feet which were hiding within a white sneakers. It took him a while before he could raise his head again and when he did, his eyes were puffy. "I'm sorry, Nicholas. I forsook you and...and…" He paused as a heart wrenching cough disturbed him which he used his white handkerchief to cover. "You shouldn't be sorry because it doesn't matter now. I'm all grown up now and I know the exact punishment to give a betrayer and a murderer. I expected him to understand what my words meant and without doubt, I knew he understood well but his reaction proved otherwise. "Let's sit up first, our drinks will be here soon." He suggested, chuckling as he walked up the three stairwells made of stone and
