"How are you feeling?" Lorenzo asked Naya as he sat on the edge of the bed.Naya kept her head low. "I'm feeling better." Lorenzo smiled. "That's good. Oh, I almost forgot. I brought this from the kitchen."Naya received a small box. She opened it and was a bit surprised. She couldn't be mistaken; these were almonds. Almonds were quite rare because the trees that produced them were picky about the soil they grew in. Even in the Light Shadow Pack, there was only one almond tree, and only the royal family could eat its nuts when it bore fruit. She looked at the almond with narrowed eyes. Was Lorenzo being kind to her, or was he testing whether she truly came from the Light Shadow Pack? Keeping a neutral expression while feeling cold inside, Naya lowered her head to Lorenzo. "I can't accept these.""Why not? Don't you eat these kinds of nuts?" Lorenzo asked. He took one out and started munching. "See, they're very delicious. Here, have one too." He picked up another almond and offer

Hot breathing, heart racing. Naya felt her head getting dizzier the minute her mouth wrapped around Kael’s standing proud erection. It had gotten bigger than before, its length and width making Naya wonder how she had taken it down there for a number of times she failed to count anymore. Kael’s musky scent permeated in the air, numbing her senses further as she took his entire length. A deep, guttural moan escaped Kael’s lips. He grabbed a bunch of Naya’s hair as he controlled his own body not to thrust forward. “I won’t do anything but watch,” he declared, his teasing an agonizing sound to Naya’s already soaking entrance. “If you want my praises, you need to do better.” Naya was a prideful woman. So she quickly adjusted her position and with the courage she gathered and the knowledge she remembered from their past encounters, she slowly bobbed down, taking more of Kael’s length. A heavy glint of lust flashed through his green eyes. Smirking, he lifted Naya’s head just enough to

Naya stared at the mirror, seeing her face with the aftermath of what transpired last night evident all over her body. Edith might have been too innocent to notice but if others saw it, they would easily know what happened.She let out a long sigh.It wasn’t supposed to happen. A full-blooded beta like her wasn’t supposed to go into heat, yet, she did.Was it because of that prince – Kael? Because he was a full-blooded alpha?Naya’s sight landed on the marking on her neck. Kael had bitten her too hard that the markings looked like they were done by animals in the forest.Naya’s eyes narrowed. Prince Kael. Like Alpha Prince Lorenzo, he was also a son of the alpha in this pack. They both had extraordinary powers considering they were full-blooded alphas. This world only had a few of them, mostly being descendants of the Alpha himself. They excelled in many things including physical combats, battle strategies, and more. Even towards their mates, they could also be aggressive.Fated mates

The number of tree nuts in each pack varied according to their location. Some packs had only a few that could only be counted by hand, while there were some that surpassed that number, with one pack never being short of it in terms of supply.Grizel walked to the other servants carrying two baskets filled with their packs’ special treats, mostly made out of nuts from different trees.Leah, her companion, immediately noticed her. “Grizel! Are you here to help us deliver these food supplies to Alpha’s pack house?”Grizel smiled, “Oh, no. I just came to drop by these baskets. I’m going to see Sir Jed.”“Eh, again? I thought he said Alpha Prince Kael can’t accept visitors yet. Wait, don’t tell me, the food you were preparing earlier was for him?” Leah uttered with a gasp.Grizel didn’t hide the fact at all. She cleared her throat and proudly said, “What’s wrong with sending good food to him? Sir Jed said it’s fine.”Leah shook her head, “You’re truly mad.”“Whatever. Just take these baske

Kael was sitting on his bed with his eyes shut when he suddenly felt something was amiss. He opened his eyes, tilted his head, and his eyes narrowed. Almost at the same time, the door he was staring at opened.“Alpha Prince! There’s something you need to know,” Jed hurriedly said while closing the door.A sigh escaped Kael’s mouth. He playfully leaned his head back and closed his eyes as though he was meditating.“Hm, what is it?” he asked his assistant.Jed approached him closer, making sure nobody else would hear what he had to say.“A report came from the East. They found more rogues,” Jed exclaimed.Kael’s eyes remained closed and his arms crossed in a relaxed manner.“Oh, rogues,” Kael uttered. Then he smirked, “They keep coming when there’s an event, don’t they? I wonder what the elders feel right now. Should we head out and check?”Jed shook his head, his face twisting in frustration and urgency, “No, Alpha Prince! This isn’t the time for that. General Argus has made his claim
