Juliana's pov:My heart sank as my throat jumped inside my stomach within a twinkle of an eye. I had my eyes popped out of their socket, he gritted his teeth in anger not paying attention to my sudden behavior. His full scrutiny was focused on his mother, his facial expression doesn't even seem to flatter her, and she still has her no-nonsense look on. "He is the king," I didn't care about the bickering going on between Ryan and his mother, I pondered on the issue that still has me restless. The idea of Ryan being the king fears me and getting close to him is one scary thing because it will surely lead to my doom. He is not good for me and I know that whatever I feel for him is lust and nothing serious. His mother was right, I am nothing and don't exist and that's how I want my stay here to be like. I want to be invisible to the extent that no one will have any idea that I exist.He was angry to the extent of letting his Lycan out, the elderly men shifted to the other standpoint wit

Ryan's pov:I stomped back and forth on my bedroom floor, waiting for Liam to come. I can feel the rage rising with each step, no matter what I do or think the anger was still there. The pain that my mother caused and the idea of not knowing how to woo my mate. Counting to ten……. Or taking a deep breath, still, nothing happens. I can't just come to terms. I thought that finding my mate could make me happy but no! It had me confused and worried. I have been inside my room for days now, thinking about how to go about this whole thing. Liam wasn't at fault, I shouldn't have raised my voice at him…….. He didn't do anything bad for wanting to check up on me, it was all my fault, I couldn't have left her there but at the same time, I didn't know how to explain to her that we are mates! Without sounding stupid. My mom won't approve of us being mated to each other, she will request rejection and with how terrified and scared Ashley was that day. She won't think twice before giving in, I just

Juliana's pov:Everyone is in the kitchen, slicing, and helping with the cooking. I feel weak and exhausted and the grumbling sounds that my stomach was making weren't helping at all. I still haven't put anything in my stomach at all since I woke up. Margaret didn't even care. The girl that I bumped into the previous day kept carrying her shoulders and walking like she won the place. I ignored her and focused more on what I was doing. I was so busy that I didn't even notice that Aria was calling for my scrutiny."Hmm….. Any problem?" I raised my eyebrow at her."Nothing just wanted to know how you are feeling today," she said with a chipped tone."I never remembered telling you that I was sick before," I seemed confused."Come on!" She laughed. "I was asking how you are feeling today, how was your night, and so on?" She smiled."Ohh!!" I mumbled with my head lowered looking embarrassed."Come on, is nothing, and beside………" Ashley!!!" Aria didn't get to finish before we both froze, n

I ran inside my room, closing the door behind me. I released a hard breath with my hands placed on my chest, my heart kept heaving up and down. What just happened in there? Why was Ryan sniffing and hugging me from behind? I asked myself with confusion in my tone.He even went to the extent of telling me to wait for him, I am afraid. Not like I don't want him, my whole body craves his touch. The sudden retreating of his hand makes my body feel cold. I yearned to be beside him which is still strange to me. He is the only thing that I got to think about every damn time. The image of him engraved on my head is too impossible to erase. I want his hand all over me, his warm breath tickling me, and his luscious plump lips on my body. Smooching and leaving hot sensitive kisses from my neck down to my breasts, nipping and sucking them.I want him quietly spanking and pinching my ass, then slowly moving his blessed hand upwards, stopping at my breast, and taking my hard nipple into his savory

Walking through the staircases with a bag of fruits that Margaret has requested her to bring into the kitchen, this is the fruits that will be given to the guests today. Despite how heavy those fruits were, Juliana kept pulling through. With faint breath, she was dragging the fruits with her to the kitchen. The erratic beating of her heart clouded her ears and senses, which made her fail to notice that Aria was calling her or even around her.She jerked up with a nervous look as she felt someone tap her shoulder twice. "You!..... You scared me," Juliana voiced with a throbbing heart."Sorry I couldn't have touched you but…."But," Juliana's eyes caressed in confusion."I have called you for hours now without any response from your side," Aria uttered."You have called me?" Juliana said with doubt. "If you called, I should have heard you," "I called several times," Aria maintained."Fine, let me assume that you truly called, so why are you calling me?" She asked blankly."Come on, Ash
