INICIAR SESIÓNReuben's POVShe didn't reply to my text?I stared at my phone for a few seconds, waiting for the screen to light up with a response that never came.I frowned as I looked at the last message I had sent her.I scoffed quietly. "Still playing hard to get, huh?"I dropped my phone on the bed and ran a hand through my hair.I couldn't believe I had actually stayed here this long.I had abandoned my business, postponed meetings, rearranged my schedule, and practically wasted days simply because I wanted to have a moment alone with her.And for what?She barely even gave me a chance.Every time I tried to get through to her, Nolan somehow managed to appear and pull her attention back to him.It was becoming ridiculous.I should have known it was a stupid idea to abandon my business and remain here just because I wanted a moment with her.I picked up my phone again and immediately called my assistant.He answered after a few rings."Yes, sir?""Rebook my flight."There was a short pause on
Ronnie's POVI leaned against Nolan's chest, listening to the sound of his racing heart beneath my ear. I don't know why that sound suddenly made me feel calmer, but it did. Maybe it was because there was something comforting about being held by him like this, especially after the thoughts that had been running through my mind since I read Reuben's messages.For a few seconds, I simply stayed there without saying anything.I could feel Nolan's arms around me, holding me securely against him, and I found myself wondering what exactly was going on inside his head.That was the one thing I hated about him.I could read everyone else's mind, but I couldn't read his.The Lycans had the gift of hiding their thoughts, unlike werewolves whose thoughts were usually left bare for someone like me to pick up without much effort.But what confused me was the fact that I could still read some of them.I could read Kim's thoughts.I could see things that had happened to him before, things he had nev
Nolan’s POVI had been on a call since we left the palace, discussing some matters with one of the officials who was supposed to be at the dinner tonight. There were still a few things that needed to be settled before we arrived, so I was paying more attention to the conversation than anything else around me.Every now and then, I glanced at Ronnie.She was sitting beside me quietly, looking out through the window. At first, I didn’t think anything of it because she had been unusually quiet since we got into the car, but I assumed she was simply thinking about the dinner.I continued with the call.Then I glanced at her again.This time, something felt different.She was staring down at her phone, and there was a strange expression on her face. Her complexion looked slightly pale, and I noticed the way she swallowed hard as though whatever she had just read had suddenly made her uncomfortable.I frowned slightly.She remained like that for a few seconds before locking her phone and pl
Ronnie's POVI remained in Nolan's room for a few seconds after he finally left, simply standing there and watching him disappear through the door with the widest smile on my face. I couldn't even help it because that man was just a lot. I shook my head slowly as I stared at the closed door, still trying to understand how Nolan had suddenly become this romantic.I slowly turned around and looked around his room again, and for some reason, everything felt different now. Maybe it was because of what had just happened between us, or maybe it was because I was finally starting to see another side of him that I had never really allowed myself to notice before.My eyes eventually landed on the picture of me in his room, and I stared at it for a while. It still felt strange seeing my own face displayed so prominently in his room, especially considering how things between us had started.I walked closer to the picture and stared at myself for a while.How did I even get here?How did the same
Ronnie’s POVBreakfast finally came to an end, and I honestly couldn’t wait to get out of that dining room.It wasn’t that anything bad had happened, but there had been so many eyes on me throughout the entire meal that I was beginning to feel like I had become the main attraction in the palace.I had expected people to stare when I walked in looking like that, but I didn’t expect it to continue throughout breakfast.Every time I lifted my head, I caught someone looking at me.Some people quickly looked away whenever our eyes met, while others didn’t even bother hiding it.At some point, I simply decided to ignore everyone and focus on my food.There was no point allowing their reactions to ruin my breakfast.Besides, I had chosen the hairstyle myself.I had wanted to see what everyone would think, and now that I had gotten exactly the reaction I expected, I couldn’t start complaining about it.When everyone finally started getting up from the table, I released a quiet breath of relie
Nolan’s POV“You always know how to grab my attention every single time, don’t you?”I sent the words through the mind link as Ronnie finally sat down beside me at the dining table.I had been watching her since the moment she walked into the room, and honestly, I didn’t even know how long I had been staring.From the moment she appeared at the entrance, something inside me had gone completely still.I had seen Ronnie in so many different ways since she came back to the palace.But this?This was different.She looked like the Queen.Not like a woman trying to adjust to being one.Not like someone who had been forced into a position she never asked for.She simply looked like she belonged here.And somehow, that realization made my chest feel strangely warm.“What kind of a Goddess are you, Ronnie?”I couldn’t help thinking as I continued admiring her.The hairstyle alone had changed her entire appearance, but it wasn’t only the hairstyle.It was the way she carried herself.The way s
Ronnie's POV For a moment, the silence in the room was so thick I could hear my own heart pounding. I stared at Elisha, searching his face for something, anything. Just anything that looked like the man I thought I loved.I waited for the apology.Waited for him to say, Ronnie, I’m sorry. This isn
Ronnie’s POV“No way I’m letting you walk out of a million-dollar desk because of that Asshole of a mate,” Jessie screamed, running down the stairs to stop me.“Language, Jessie!” I yelled.“But you worked so hard for this, Ronnie, why do you always have to dump your dreams to make sure that you’re
Ronnie’s POV“Two hours?” Jessie blurted out. “What the heck are you supposed to do with two hours? I mean, that’s not even enough time to pack your clothes and handbags.”Jessie kept on ranting. Her tone remained sharp as ever. She even looked more frustrated than I was in this weird-ass situation
Ronnie's POVI didn’t know how long it would be till I finally collapsed. My breath was stuck.Every part of my body had gone still.My eyes locked with his, one of his hands on my chin and the other on my waist to steady me.“All rise!” He said, finally.Everyone looked up, words falling out from
