Roy. We've been moving around in circles and still end up in front of a big empty cave. I’ve gone inside and searched everywhere but there’s no sign of the magical staff or anyone practicing sorcery. I growl in frustration as we step out of the woods for the umpteenth time and find ourselves in the same spot. This shit has been happening for hours and I've had it up to here. “Are you sure this is the location?” I ask Lillith who looks confused as she looks at the map in her hands. She nods. “I’m sure. The locator is showing that it’s in this cave. Maybe we didn’t look properly.” My eyebrows crease. “If it is as powerful as you said it is, do you think the one who had it can leave it behind carelessly?” I question and something snaps in my mind as unease settles within me. “Wait... last time you said they were trying to stop you from locating it. Don’t you think it’s suspicious that you suddenly found its location? Why was it easy this time around?” Her eyes widen into

Tatiana. I fidget in my seat under his leering gaze but I don't look away, not wanting to look submissive or scared. “Why do you want to wipe out the Lycans? What have they done to you?” I ask, ignoring his last sentence about getting me pregnant. He’s crazy if he thinks a forced bond will make me give myself to him. Benjamin picks up the glass of wine on the table and takes a sip, smirking. “You may have grown up as a sheltered Princess but everyone out here knew about Roy. The Lycan Prince who was slowly growing his army of Lycans so he can come back and grab the throne. They were only rumours but I knew there was no smoke without fire. And when Lyson confirmed it when he first shifted and left for the Lycan pack, I knew I had to do something to prevent Roy from getting something I’ve always wanted.” He pats Lyson on his shoulder with a proud look on his face. “Thanks to my brother, I Knew Roy’s every move. I created an illusion of myself with the magical staff so I wasn’t the

Tatiana. I didn’t expect to find my father in that state. The news of the male pup not being his must have broken him. My heart clenched thinking he used to be proud of me being his only daughter but was it all a front he put up so he could control me however he wanted? Silent tears flow down my cheeks as Roy hugs me protectively. I tremble, sniffling and he holds me closer. “I’m sorry, my love. I really wish you didn’t see that.” He whispers and I shake my head. “It’s not your fault. I’m just disappointed in him is all…” I sigh, wrapping my arms around his waist. Thank goddess I met him… he’s my anchor in all the chaos that has been happening recently in my life threatening to sink me to the bottom. His support means the world to me. I remember when he took me as his slave to threaten my father. At that moment, I thought I was doomed and my life would be hell but he didn’t treat me badly. He even let me stay in his personal space, sleeping on his bed… He washed me tenderly wh

Tatiana. Just like I thought, there was an uprising. The werewolves didn’t easily accept that they would be ruled by a Lycan from now onwards. They were afraid but they could also do nothing about it. It’s easy to bully one Lycan but an army of them? They stood no chance so they hid in their homes like a plague had infested the Kingdom. It had to take weeks of us going around the kingdom, educating them about how there’s really not much difference between us. We are all shifters with a wolf spirit. I had to tell my story over and over again and they were fascinated to know that I had two beasts co-existing within me. Talking wasn’t enough so we came up with events that could make everyone interact with one another and from there, the werewolves realised on their own how barbaric their actions were because the people they shunned were just like them. The apprehension is still there seeing as Lycans are much bigger and stronger than werewolves but I love how they are all open

Tatiana. Twenty months later. Time flies. More so if you have little ones running around and they keep growing when all you want is for them to remain adorable babies with squishy cheeks. Our pups grew quickly. Now they are like little tornados wreaking havoc in the castle and they have everyone wrapped around their little fingers. Life has been perfect. Of course, we’ve had some issues with rogues attacking packs or some werewolves finding faults with Lycans but in the end, we resolve the conflicts and everything returns to normal. The Kingdom has flourished since we took over. I became part of the council much to the elder’s annoyance saying it was not a place for a woman. But I don’t need to be a man to contribute to matters of the kingdom. My Alpha defended me of course. That man is very supportive and come what may, I know he has my back. Since the numbers were not even, I made Elyn join the council too. Females were tired of being sidelined. We demanded to be treate
