Today had been a particularly hectic day for him.He was twenty-two and unlike before, he now had many more princely responsibilities than before.It also meant that people including his private guards seemed to enjoy sticking to him harder than glue with the excuse of protecting him from harm. The same excuse his father, the king used to try to monitor every one of his movements. Still, with the artifact in his hands, it was almost impossible for anyone to see him, which was why he was now racing through the forest with lightning speed, with hopes that Hurai hadn’t been waiting long for him.It was already afternoon and the sun was up in the sky, and unlike other times when he was the one who usually waited for her, he couldn’t help but feel a little dissatisfied at being late.Karl had been to the forest enough times to be familiar with it. So even as he ran at full speed in the direction of his usual spot with Hurai, it was easy for him to notice that something was wrong the close

At that moment, Hurai felt like Kal said something but was trying to communicate something entirely different to her. But no matter how much she tried to figure out what it was she couldn’t.Still, that didn’t in any way stop the red blush that rushed to her cheeks from Kal standing a breath away from her, close enough to steal her first kiss.One she felt she was supposed to have with her mate, the moment her wolf matured and made itself known.“Kal…” Hurai spoke calling out his name not knowing what else to do, since pushing him away didn’t work and pressing herself into the tree wasn’t an option.“Please…if I’m late in getting back to the palace I’m going to get in trouble. I’m sure you also need to get back,” Hurai told him becoming increasingly anxious and worried about how much time she had spent in the forest.“Fine…” Kal sighed in a very low and miserable tone which he used as he continued to speak, taking one step back to show how genuine he was being.“Since this is our last

Sitting in the Grand hall were two sides facing each other, each group on one side of the hall.On the left side was the Werewolf race, consisting of King Horansi, Darun, his son sat on his left and three of the closest council members sat on the king’s right side.On the right side of the hall was King Locan, sitting directly opposite King Horansi. To his left sat Geran with Kal sitting on his right. The two Council members they brought along sat beside Kal, as the guards stood attentively behind each of them.Kal had been paying extra attention to every member of Hurai’s family he had met since he was introduced to them. Fera, her twin sister was easy to understand and might even be easy to manipulate but her brother Darun was the hardest person to figure out.He barely said anything while his father spoke but he could tell that he was listening with rapt attention to every word.“Is he smart or is he just acting smart?” Kal wondered, throwing a quick look to his left, where his brot

Hurai had been in her room when she heard a heavy knock on her door only to discover that she had been summoned by the king.Not dragging her feet at all, she got to the throne room five minutes later, slightly surprised to see her sister already standing there in front of their father the king.King Horansi, sat comfortably on the throne with a relaxed expression on his face as he looked down at his two daughters standing just beneath the stairs that led to his throne.Apart from his daughters, and the various guards around the throne room, everyone else had been sent out including the council members who usually insisted on clinging to the king all day long.Seeing as it was already late in the evening, King Horansi had no issues ending the session for the day, in order to have a few minutes left with his daughters before he had to return to his room.“Careena is going to be mad at me,” he thought to himself gesturing Hurai and Fera closer to him and to the seats on either side of hi

The man in front of Darun was dressed in a white robe that barely covered his chest as he sat firmly on the ground, and even though his face was mostly obscured in the darkness, the small tinge of light reflecting from the inside of the house on his body, was enough for Darun to admire the deeply outlined muscles on his arms and chests, which was a big contrast to Darin’s body regardless of how often he exercised.“Come here…” Darun heard the young man in front of him order as he continued to beckon towards him with his left hand.Darun stood there without moving a single muscle almost as if he was frozen in place.“I’m only here to enquire if you could share some of your food with me,” Darun said, not taking even a single step closer to the man in front of him.The only reason he still continued to stay was simply because the young man in front of him, seemed a little tipsy which meant that the distinct wolf smell on his body would most likely be the last thing he would notice.“Food?
