Chapter 11. Trust.

Alonso Corleone.After the events that occurred the day before, I couldn’t sleep at all. Therefore, I spent that valuable time tirelessly fucking my little mate.I didn’t want her to notice that I didn’t want to talk. Communication was something I had always struggled with. I wasn’t always good at it and often ended up screwing up even more. So I did what I did best: dodge.The next morning, I got up before the sun came up. I had many things to do if I wanted to finish Wilma’s mask.Sixteen years ago, when she tried to kidnap Maddison, along with the former King Harry’s beta, Wilma was sentenced to life in prison for her crimes.For ten years, Wilma showed good behavior and requested a reduction in her sentence, which was accepted and, a year ago, she was released on parole.Warren believed his sister had been rehabilitated from the brainwashing that the former king, his father, had carried out on her, but, apparently, the rotten fruit had no salvation.The queen never agreed with the

Chapter 12. First shift.

Maddison Spencer-Bennett. I woke up in an empty bed. I looked around, but my hot mate was not with me. And I must admit, I was a little disappointed. But there I saw the note. I picked it up and read it, making me smile with each line. I sighed and fell onto the bed, holding the note to my chest. “You are so horny, woman! Now, we will have to suffer in the night!” I frowned and said, “What are you talking about, Kallie?” “That you were so horny and angry at the same time, that you heard nothing I screamed! I told you that you won’t let yourself be marked until after the shift… But you never listen!” “I still don’t understand, Kallie.” She growled in frustration and stormed off to the far reaches of my mind, leaving me with unanswered questions. I put that conversation aside, so that it wouldn’t affect my excellent mood. It had been years since I felt so happy and complete. Knock, knock, knock. “Come in!” I shouted, still dreaming, awake with the unforgettable night that Alons

Chapter 13. Suicune.

Maddison Spencer-Bennett.“Until we meet again, Suicune, goddess of the north wind. I told you I would find you again… mate.”Suicune? What the fuck was he talking about? Who was Suicune?As if they had heard my thoughts, a melodious feminine voice said, “I thought you were dead, Sokaris. What will it take to get rid of you? Damn Greek trash!”I opened my eyes wide as I understood that whoever said those words was none other than Selene.“Nice to see you too, Selene. You look old. Too much work?” He said, mocking the Moon Goddess.“Not as old as you, Sokaris. Have you been waiting for your soulmate for a long time? How sad that she doesn’t recognize you.” She said in a sarcastic tone, which was strange to hear coming from her.Usually, Selene was the demurest and composed of the three, but… I think she had a lot of history with this man.Soulmate? What the fuck was Selene talking about? What had they been doing without us knowing?“Kallie, do you have any idea what they’re talking abo

Chapter 14. A warning.

Maddison Spencer-Bennett.I held my breath... I opened my eyes wide and looked for the owner of that voice, which had multiple unexpected effects on me, but to no avail... He was not here.As I sighed in disappointment, believing it was an invention of my creative brain, I heard him say, “Do not look for me within those four walls, my goddess. Whenever you want to listen to me, blow in the cardinal point of the south and you will talk to me.”“How are you in my head? Is it a mental link?”“Hmm… in a way, yes, it is. Mental links only work within a small range of distance. The compass rose will allow you to count on any of us at any time you need it.”I frowned and said, “Us? What are you talking about?”As I heard him smile, he said, “I know I’m not the only one, my goddess. But it’s a price I’m willing to pay to have you with me again. I can share you, as long as I never separate from you again. I have waited for you for centuries, Suicune.”I sighed again. “Maddison.”“What do you m

Chapter 15. Family matters.

Maddison Spencer-Bennett.I stared at Alonso with wide eyes. I dried my hand and quickly took the phone from his hands.“Alice?”“Princess! I have tried to contact you, but to no avail. Have you seen your calendar?”I frowned and cursed myself for being careless. I sighed and said, “I haven’t seen it.”“You should come to my office as soon as possible. You know contraceptive injections are very effective, as long as they are given on time. It’s been three months since the last one.”“I totally understand, Alice. Because my first shift was last night and because of royal protocol, I cannot go out. Can you come to the palace? This is something that worries me a lot.”“No problem, princess. I’ll be there at noon.”“Thank you very much, Alice. See you at noon.” And without further ado, we both cut off communication.I looked up, and there was Alonso’s, waiting for some kind of explanation. I sighed and calmly said, “Can I finish showering?”He frowned and said, “I’ll wait outside.”I nodd

Chapter 16. Attack.

Maddison Spencer-Bennett.I frowned, confused. What the hell was she doing here? Who invited her? Why are Mom and Alonso in defensive mode? What is she planning now?As I am so clear that, if my Aunt Wilma is here, nothing good will come. I still have memories of when I was five years old, and she helped with my kidnapping.Although I don’t remember that she was the one who invaded the cabin I was in, I remember vividly that she came to my room to see me.I remember, as if it were yesterday, her words… “I will never allow you to be the queen, brat... You are nothing.”Therefore, I have never been happy that she exists, breathes or is simply alive.I crossed my arms and said, “Aunt Wilma…Who let you out of the hole you call home?”Her eyes widened, and she said, “Emma, is this how you raised this insolent brat? Without an iota of respect for their elders?”I smiled ironically. “Respect is earned, Wilma… Or don’t you remember what you told me when I was a little girl and Ezra kidnappe

Chapter 17. Queen's Guard Tournament.

Maddison Spencer-Bennett.For a second, I felt like I was dead. A sharp pain invaded my entire body, while a piercing sound overwhelmed my ears.I tried to get back up, with great difficulty, while I saw Alonso was trying to tell me something. I could see his lips moving, but I heard nothing. That completely disoriented me.As I opened and closed my eyes many times, hoping that my orientation would return, but to no avail. Since I couldn’t react, Alonso took me in his arms and carried me to another place.I looked around and everyone was running everywhere, while a large, dense curtain of dust and debris invaded us. What a few minutes ago was the inauguration of a new orphanage became a scene from a war movie.Suddenly, the sound came back.“Madison! Please little one, do you hear me?” Alonso shouted, totally desperate.I put a hand on his shoulder and in a whisper just said, “Yes, I hear you.”“Oh, thank you Goddess!” He smiled as he kissed my forehead.As I looked to my right again,

Chapter 18. The Celestial Chest.

Third-Person Point of ViewTwo weeks later…“Ladies and gentlemen! We warmly welcome you to this live broadcast from the royal gardens…” Thomas Coleman, the rising star of television, announced enthusiastically during his live coverage while the palace staff watched from the royal kitchen.The truth was that after the explosion, information about the tournament had finally been released, and for the first time in weeks, the royal family had been granted a brief respite from the relentless public scrutiny. The announcement had been received far better than anyone had ever imagined.From that day forward, the three great covens of the sorcerer society gathered to conjure the Celestial Chest, sealing its magic so that no one could corrupt or tamper with it. The ritual alone took an entire week to complete.Then the alphas arrived.One by one, they walked through the palace gardens, placing their names inside the Celestial Chest, each secretly hoping to be chosen. Every alpha, accompanied

Chapter 19. The Inaugural Ball

Maddison Spencer-BennettThe day had finally arrived. The day they had spent weeks preparing for.Everything had to be perfect.Today, I would finally meet the twenty candidates chosen by the Celestial Chest. My heart sank into my chest the moment I realized Sokaris' name wasn't on the list.Mom had told me that in her dreams, he was standing beside me, competing for the throne. So I don't understand. Where the hell is he?I sighed as I sat on my bed, still wrapped in nothing but a towel, absentmindedly caressing the mark on my wrist. Bringing it to my lips, I gently blew across it.The lights flickered.Then Sokaris' deep, velvety voice invaded my senses. "I thought you didn't love me anymore, Suicune... It's been many days since you last called for me."Thousands of butterflies erupted inside my stomach at the sound of his voice, and a shiver raced down my spine."Do you know what's happening here, Sokaris?" I asked without wasting a second.I needed to understand why his name hadn'

Chapter 20. The Night Comes to an End

Maddison Spencer-BennettIt took only a single second for me to want him completely. But deep down, I knew perfectly well that I neither should nor could trust him.The man had a reputation that preceded him. I understood I had to be careful.No matter how tempting he was, no matter how much I desired him, I couldn't allow myself to surrender to his charms—which were impossible to ignore.He was like the sweetest candy, silently begging to be tasted. Six-foot-three of solid muscle. Broad chest, large hands… Everything about him was enormous.Standing beside him made me feel impossibly small. Focus, Maddie!I took a deep breath, breathing in the scent of wood, whiskey, and tobacco. His scent pierced straight through my soul, refusing to let me ever forget it. It imprinted itself onto me as though it had always been part of who I was...I simply didn’t know it yet. The mate bond settled into both our souls, locking perfectly into place. What the hell am I supposed to do now?I'm so scre
