Alpha Female Ciciane's POVWith the assistance of my maid, Katrina, I applied the finishing touches to my makeup.I am filled with excitement about my night out with Harad. He spent the whole day with me and the pups. Together we journeyed to the lavish shopping mall of the Kingdom where we bought new clothes for the twins as well as some toys. Our boys had a great time in the playground with their peers. They were so lively and happy, their affectionate smile captured so many hearts. I breathed a sigh of relief when all eyes were calmly observing them so they weren't overwhelmed by the attention they were receiving. When we got back to the Palace, they promptly fell asleep from exhaustion.They now rest like angels in their crib and I am confident they will sleep soundly throughout the night. Katrina kindly volunteered to keep an eye on them, this maid adores the Princes and takes every opportunity to be with them. “Princess, you look amazing. No one w

Still Alpha Female Ciciane's POV The wonderful atmosphere between Harad and me has been irreversibly shattered due to the arrival of Eon.Harad once-vibrant demeanor is now eerily still, his eyes are on alert. I feel an intense inner turmoil in him and that weighs heavily upon my heart. When our dinner is served, we eat without exchanging any words. Though he has chosen my favorite Italian dishes, I'm unable to enjoy them fully. The blame solely falls on my shoulders. I was well aware that a discussion with Eon regarding our mate bond should have taken place long ago. Yet I continuously postponed it without regard for its significance. It is hardly surprising then that he chose his moment to appear, what happened was his premeditated plan! Damn Eon! And his last comment, expressing his desire to father a son with me, was deliberately chosen. It was an attempt to lure Harad out of his tent. My mate's protective nature over me is widely known. The implication be

In Crescent Moon… “To be honest, I am perplexed as to why you are still here. Shiri would undoubtedly have done a better job than you. Barren Luna." A derisive sneer is heard from behind Luna Taylor who is busy putting together the menu for the week with Oriya. At her back is Arbel, the pest of the packhouse and Beta Yuval's ex-mate. Without any purpose, Arbel strolls into the packhouse, waiting for a chance to validate her presence. As long as Yuval has not decided what to do with her yet, she remains safe from being thrown into prison cells. “At least I have every right to be here,” Taylor retorted with a hint of sarcasm. "Unlike the despicable routine of glaring at my ex-mate and his better half flaunting their passionate bond every single day and swooning over the arrival of their little one. At least I am of some use to the Alpha.” “That's exactly where

Luna Taylor's POV AgainAnd then she was gone, just through a door leading to the garden. Doron, the midwife, had a pup with her that I recognized positively as one of Cissy's twins. Hadn't Harad mentioned earlier that she had refused to hire a nanny? Or perhaps Doron is simply the friend whom she trusts solely with caring for her pups? Frowning, I look in the direction where the two have disappeared.Doron's behavior is very peculiar, why didn't she just walk over to greet me? Maybe I should ask Cissy to explain. “Do you know the nanny?” Walter inquired next to me. “She was employed by the King and Queen to care for the Crown Prince. Xanne is occupied with her own work and this nanny has proved invaluable. The boy adores her.” My jaws hang agape in complete astonishment as I gaze upon the man.“Are you saying that the pup I just saw at Doron's is Xanne's? That is not possible! That's Cissy's son. And I am so certain of it

Still Luna Taylor's POV "You were standing here the whole time and heard everything."This is not a question, but rather an observation made by Harad. Darn it! He must have known the entire time that I was listening in on his conversation with Xanne – those Lycan genes!To my surprise, he takes me by the hand and drags me with him to the elevator. We descend in silence to the main floor where he walks with broad steps to the business quarters. I know that I am expected to follow him. After being caught red-handed, I'm not in a favorable position to turn him against me.When we reach his office, he holds the door open for me.After entering the room, he takes off his tie abruptly and throws it onto his desk before facing me.“Taylor, it's not what you think,” he began, pouring himself a glass of Scotch. “I am in the middle of hot water and can only keep everything on track with the right tact. But my main concern is Cissy. I want to protect her. Any str
