Chapter 29 Lydia’s POV “What are you doing here?” Darwin growled as his eyes narrowed suspiciously. “I don’t know what you mean. Am I now banned from roaming about the palace?” I stood upright and patted my hair down while avoiding his eyes. “Lydia,” He sighed in exasperation and pinched the bridge of his nose “You’re in front of Freya’s room. She’s in solitary confinement, so yes for you to be here, you must have a reason. What is it?” Freya’s room? I looked back in confusion. “Your little race landed us in front of his daughter’s room." Drusilla snickered as I crossed my arms and turned back to Darwin. “So? Am I forbidden from visiting Freya? What if I wanted to get to know my new daughter better?” “Lydia!” Darwin leaned in, and pressed one hand against the door behind my head. “You don't even like her and we haven’t done the wedding." “Yet,” I swallowed as I watched his eyes switch color briefly. He was so close, I dropped my hands and could feel his breath on my face.

Lydia’s POVI stared in silence for a few seconds before I chuckled.“Yeah, fat chance of a maid getting involved with another supernatural,”“Lydia, I’m serious,” Lily sighed.“I am too,” I dropped the brush and stared at my reflection in the mirror “There’s no way my mum was involved with another supernatural. Besides, which supernatural would I be?”“A witch? A vampire? A fairy?” I chuckled as I shook the ridiculous motion from my head. “I don’t have a scrap of magic or the slightest desire for blood.“How do you explain your powers?” I walked out of the closet, suddenly frustrated and tired of the conversation.“Which powers Lil? Which powers? This is just a glitch in the system. Maybe because I’m mated to the rogue king or maybe the moon goddess made a mistake,” I turned around and sighed, “Have you considered that? Something this inconsequential doesn’t make me special."“Lydia, you have other abilities,” Lily said softly but I could tell her resolve was waning.“Yet none of t

Lydia’s POVWait what?! Amari and Lily are mates?!I watched silently in surprise as Amari walked towards Lily with moony eyes.He stopped in front of her and slowly raised his hand to tuck a piece of hair behind her ear.“Good day Your majesty. Bye Lydia,” Lily rushed out as she jerked back from Amari’s touch and bolted from the room.“Lily! Wait!” I tried to run after her but was held back by a strong arm around my waist.“Let me go!” I snapped at Darwin.“No,” he shook his head and inclined it in Amari’s direction “Look,”I paused and looked to realise Amari had run after Lily.“Oh,” I sighed and relaxed against Darwin “That was unexpected,”He chuckled and Drusilla protested as he let go of me.“Yeah, I didn’t expect that too. But I’m glad Amari has found his mate.”“Hmmm” I hummed and moved towards the vanity. I stood in front of the mirror watching as Darwin moved closer to me, yet I jumped as his hands encircled my waist and his chin rested on my head.I took in shaky breaths

Chapter 35Darwin’s POV“Your Majesty,” The air hostess bowed as she unlocked my seat belt. “We’ve arrived,”“Thank you,” I gave her a nod as I got to my feet and followed behind her out of the jet.As I walked down unto the roof of the Lycan’s palace, the loud sound of the Jet’s rotating blades made me cringe and I squinted as the wind from the blade made my hair whip about.“Wclmme yur mmjssy” A man dressed in a suit bowed before me but I could barely hear him over the sound of the Jet’s blades.The sound of the Jet’s blades dimmed as he led me away from the roof down into the building.****“No. Going to the ball would be a bad idea. Lorcan can not know we’re working together,” Dimitri shook his head lightly as he stopped tapping with his pen and waited for my reply.“Look.” I sighed in irritation “It’s a masked ball. A masked ball,” I repeated for emphasis.“You would be there to help but your face would be masked. Because—““It’s a masked ball,” Dimitri chuckled “I heard you the

Chapter 37Lydia’s POV“Ly, do you know what this means?” Lily’s voice was excited as her hands laced through me.“Hold on, hold on,” I said to her as I shook my head in confusion. “What do you mean, Fae blood? How then did Alpha Mike and the alphas before him make the elixir? There were all werewolves so this doesn’t make any sense."“FFfffe immmmrtallll,” Wilson droned as his head lolled backward and a snore escaped him.“No.” I shook my head hysterically as I put my hands through the cell door bars and took hold of Wilson’s shirt. “No no no no no no. Wake up!” I shook Wilson angrily. “Wake up!”“Lydia, let him be." I vaguely heard Lily’s pleading voice but I was too absorbed in waking Wilson up to make sense of my surroundings.“Wake up and give me an explanation right now!” I snapped as I cracked a slap across Wilson’s face but his eyes only fluttered open for a second before they closed right back.“Wake up Dammit!” I raised my palm to slap him again when a screech froze me.“WH
