You are lucky to still be alive

Divya's POVI gave a tight-lipped smile in return before turning around and walking out of the room. I was still wondering what he meant as I stepped out into the grand hallway.I came to a stop in utter shock at the sight of the person standing with obvious high alert just a few feet away.The minute I stepped out, his gaze landed on me; I briefly saw him let out a sigh of relief before schooling his expression and walking towards me."Your Highness," he bowed at me as soon as he got close enough."H… How come you are here? What happened?" I stammered in shock at the sight of him standing before me.Instead of answering me, he gazed behind me.I didn't need to turn around to know what, or rather who, he was staring at. But I did anyway, out of curiosity, and Cassius was just right on my heel. I wondered why he would look at him instead of answering me."Princess, he was lurking in the shadows when I rescued you from the kidnappers." Cassius mentioned, stepping out of the king's study

Wow… she really has no respect for anyone.

I stopped walking at the sound of the voice and casually looked around to see if the comment was directed to our group. But there was no one else apart from us in the area, which confirms that the rude comment, if I may say, was truly directed to us.But why? What had we done to provoke such a reaction?Or did one of the maids do something to offend someone?After all, I wasn't the only one present. The maids and Lee were also present. Surely it couldn't be me who was being spoken to. And I know Lee would not have done such a thing since he was a foreigner here and would not want to cause any trouble.A lady dressed in a maid's outfit stepped out of the corner and walked over to us."Miss, are you talking to us?" Lee stepped before me in a protective manner and asked the lady."Miss Cara…""Miss Cara…""Miss Cara…"I raised a brow in surprise as the maids greeted her with a curtsy as she walked over. It was obvious that though she was also dressed in a maid uniform, she was of a highe

Who do you think you are to keep the queen waiting?

Lee's POVSoon enough, we got to the entrance of the queen's quarters, and I was stopped by the guards there to do a body search. I knew it was necessary, but it still made me uncomfortable. I felt as though I was being humiliated, especially not after the way the maid had just acted toward my lady, treating her with such disrespect. I felt so much annoyance as they patted me down and rifled through my cloth.Once they were done, I saw the way they smirked at me, as if reveling in my discomfort and powerlessness.My anger bubbled up inside of me, but I knew that showing it would only make things worse and put her in a spot where she could get more humiliated. It was obvious that the queen found her presence here disturbing and planned to make things difficult for her during our stay here. It was best to avoid drawing attention to her."Your Majesty, I've returned with her." The obnoxious maid called out to the closed door before us from beside us before giving us a nasty look. I gritt

Queen Seraphine's POVBy the time I got to my chambers, I could barely contain the rage that was building inside me. How could this be happening to me? How dare he talk to me in such a manner because of that bast**d child of his?I tried so much to contain my anger, but it was proving difficult as I walked down the corridor back to my chambers. It was more so, especially when everyone I came across looked at me with sympathy alongside their greetings.The news of her arrival had begun to spread like wildfire within the palace, and it was only a matter of time before it reached outside the palace walls to the ears of the entire kingdom.Immediately upon entering my chambers, Lady Elena, one of my ladies-in-waiting, rushed over to me, breathless with anticipation, to confirm the news from me.As it happens, it was not presently that I heard about the news of her arrival to the palace. I knew of her presence in the palace as soon as she was brought in. But because she was hidden within t

You have quite the tongue for a girl who lived amongst the barbarian

Divya's POVI had expected to be treated with malice and disrespect upon entering the queen's chambers, but this, this treatment, I had not expected.It's been about twenty minutes since I stepped into her chambers, and the queen has not even acknowledged my presence. In fact, as soon as I walked in, she turned her back and continued talking to the three ladies that were also in the chambers with her. They were deeply involved in the topic of their discussion, totally ignoring my presence as though I were invisible.The queen reclined on her lounge chair, while the ladies gathered around her in graceful positions, with embroidery hoops and jeweled fans in hand. From their conversation between themselves, I was able to gather the name and status of each of them.In fact, they were all noble women that held enough power in their hands to do as they pleased due to their families' standing and connections. They were also the queen's ladies-in-waiting, trusted advisors, and confidantes.Wh

a creature that shouldn’t exist walked into my territory and stole my mate

Her mocking words send my mind into turmoil, but I must stay composed. I must stay composed. I must not let her words get to me, no matter how much she enjoys it.The way she laughs and taunts me is unbearable, but what I could not take was the way she spoke of my werewolf heritage, mocking and belittling it as if it were a joke.“I find the barbarians, as you've called them, teach better than tutors, Your Majesty,” I said, smiling faintly. “With their sharp senses and attentiveness, one learns to see what others overlook.”A long silence. Then the queen rose, gliding toward me. Her perfume was intoxicating with scents of roses, steel, and something darker.She stopped beside my chair, her voice soft enough that only I heard:“Be careful what you see, child. The last who stared too closely at the sun was burned blind.”I met her gaze, not defiantly, but steadily, despite how I was feeling inside. “And yet, Your Majesty, the sun still rose the next day.” I know challenging her at this

my mate’s disappearance wasn’t what it seemed and had a hidden scheme involving it.

A cold silence fell.I straightened, barely able to contain the storm that was brewing within me.“You’re telling me a creature that shouldn’t exist walked into my territory and stole my mate.”“Well, we didn’t even know they still existed, Alpha.” Rowan tried explaining, but I cut him off.“Still?” My eyes snapped to Rowan. “What aren’t you saying?”Rowan hesitated, then bowed his head.“There are old legends—stories the elders whispered when we were young. Tales of changelings… beings who lived hidden from the world. Creatures that took the forms of others with frightening accuracy. But they were myths. Rumors. Nothing more.”“And yet one walked through my home.”“Changelings were said to be isolationists, sire. Reclusive. A species that despised contact with the outside world. They kept to themselves so fiercely that most believed they vanished centuries ago. They never interfered, never revealed themselves… until now.” Elric spoke up.My hands curled into fists as I battled with m

your majesty would be labelled a murderer.

The room fell into silence as I opened page after page of the file before me. “So you are telling me that this was not the first time these creatures made their first appearance on our territory.”“Yes, brother. From my investigation, one of them appeared in our territory twenty years ago on the night of the red blood moon.”A chair scraped sharply across the floor. Rowan muttered a curse under his breath. “I remember that night, Your Highness. The sudden explosion that took place at the border that night had thrown everyone into a state of despair because no one knew what had triggered it. The borders were in chaos. We suspected rogues, witches, and even traveling fae caravans. We even suspected neighboring packs. But not once did anyone speak of a different race.”“Well, that was because they never gave us reason to, Captain. The legends said changelings kept to themselves—secluded valleys, drowned cities, caves that mirrored faces in the walls. They hid from not just the wolves bu

you are intimidated by me.

“My lady, are you alright?” Lee rushed up to me as soon as I stepped out. I nodded my head in confirmation and stepped forward. “Yeah, I’m alright, Lee. Let’s get going.”I was already feeling exhausted from the emotional turmoil I had with the queen, and all I just wanted at the moment was to rest my head.I turned to the maids, believing they knew the way to my room. “Please show me to my assigned room.”“Yes, your highness.” They bowed and turned to lead the way.However, an arrogant voice stopped that from happening.“Wow, I didn’t know that privileges and titles meant for the royal family could be easily given to just anybody.”I stopped in place and looked up to see who it was that just spoke.Just ahead, closing in the distance between us, was a lady, rather young, probably younger than I was, and dressed in a luxurious outfit with an air of arrogance. Her gown was adorned with gold and rubies. A step behind her were two other young ladies with the same air of arrogance.They

Enjoy your stay while it lasts

I met her gaze. “You can believe whatever you want to believe. Your opinion about me doesn’t affect me in the slightest. However, I do know one thing for sure.“And what is that?”“You are afraid.”The laughter dies, and Althea’s eyes harden. “What do you mean? I afraid? Of what exactly? Please do tell me.”“Me. It seems, for some reason, you are intimidated by me.”She let out a short chuckle, “Hehe. Unbelievable. What makes you think that I, Althea Dragomir, am scared of you? Let me tell you something just to be clear. You are the one who should be afraid here. Not just of me, but of everyone. This palace devours those who are unwelcome and without protection.” She looked away from me and nodded toward Lee. “If you think that he will be able to protect you, then you are too naive. Even my father, the king, will have a hard time protecting you, much less him. That you were even able to come out of the queen’s bedchamber without a scratch, you should count yourself lucky.”I paused br
