Matthew POV.."Don't worry! Let me handle this!"That's the thing I could do for her at the moment. When I held her hand, she was trembling. I scented her fear, I had to wash that out. And that Sonia or Sefrim, she better had a valid justification for everything coz I was not going to give her clemency...that simple! "What will happen to us? To my parents? Are they going to punish us that much? Matthew, I'm really scared!" her voice stuttered and her body was shaking. I hugged her tight and stroked her back to calm her down. For now, I had to think of a way to settle this. I had a plan for the kingdom and it could benefit everyone. Yet, I couldn't tell them. I brushed her strands and stared deeply at her as I repeated what I told her earlier."You have to trust me. No matter what!" my palms cupped her face. I dropped soft kisses on her forehead. "Don't leave me!" I whispered in between our kisses and I saw her nod, constantly.When suddenly, my father

Matthew POV..I couldn't get off my head Riona's expression when she was thrown away like a rug doll in the air. Especially when she fell unconsciously to the floor. For me, death was a light punishment for this w!tch. "Go ahead, Anicia! Look at her past. The kingdom needs to know who killed their former queen!" I called out for Riona's mom's attention when I saw she was hesitating. "Yes, Prince Matthew!" she sauntered to Wayna's side, knelt, and held her head when she was now in front of her. That w!tch struggled hard to escape from Anicia's tight clasp but where could she possibly go at the moment? She was stuck on that cracked floor. As Anicia focused, she shut her eyes and gnashed her teeth. Wayna began wailing. The ground shook. The Imperial chandelier on the ceiling blinked. The walls began to break.The council and the betas were petrified, they held their chairs' armrests tight while a whisper-yell escaped from their lips. "What's happening? Wha

Riona POV..After a few days of resting, I had finally regained my strength. But I woke up in a different environment. I was in the place where I was born and raised. I was lying on the new bed, staring at the new walls and ceiling. I was covered with the softest duvet I have ever had. My head was buried in the fluffiest pillow I had ever felt. The first question that my mouth muttered was..."Where really am I?"Yes! I was not sure if this was my own room in our small house in our small village. As I slowly got up and sat on the edge of the bed, I looked down at the shiny wooden floor. The old flooring was gone. As I kept on scanning the room, a painting on the wall caught my sight. That was my first painting. A pup lifting his head to the round bright moon on top of a hill. I was 5 when I drew that scene I witnessed at midnight. The pup was so dominant in its stance, that at first glance I could guess its position in the pack. Whether it was the son of a beta or the prince in the k

Riona POV.."Cancel it!" I heard him respond to the flirt condescendingly. "You said you wanna talk to me. What are you waiting for?" then he shifted his domineering voice to me. He narrowed his eyes at the hand pressing on my waist, believe it I heard a growl inside him."I wanna speak to you in private!" I hurriedly answered before his wolf would surpass and might attack Hamil at any moment. And yes, he never spoke any words. He grabbed my hand and dragged me out in that awkward little crowd."Matthew, where are you going?" the flirt shouted and was about to follow us but I saw Hamil catch her hand when I glanced over my shoulder."The Alpha King is going to speak with the Chosen Maiden. They need privacy!" he also warned her but the flirt was clouded with arrogance and maybe...jealousy!"What?! No! She's no longer that. Prince Victor isn't longer the Alpha King so there's no more ~""The Chosen Maiden is written in our book. That can't be just erased. I can accompany you to the se

Matthew POV..Darn this! Ruling the kingdom wasn't that easy. Even if I was the president of Prince Monarch, ruling a strong pack was totally different. Especially since some were still loyal to my predecessor.Speaking of him, my half-brother, I hadn't seen him since the simple announcement of my reign. Erro told me he stayed on the east-west border with his loyal subjects, Aram, Draco, and the twins, Zenith and Zenia. Uncle Baron took his spies Ava, Virgo, and Caspian away to the north border to guard the kingdom. I was left here with Erro, my father, and Fillian. Due to the descending of the moon goddess, the war had stopped for a while. But one day for sure, they would just attack us like thieves at night.I got up from my seat and took a step toward the arch-shaped window in my study room. Outside were some of my soldiers marching and training while others were patrolling the area. My shoulders lifted as I inhaled the fresh air coming from the mountain trees and exhaled it rel
