Lahat ng Kabanata ng Double Mate For The Princess: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Chapter 62Zara's POV"I'm his son," took so long to register in my head. I'm his son. For the longest time since we met, silence brewed between us. The sound of the morning wind, calm and occasionally strong, overtook the silence. I looked away from him now, unable to imagine how someone so perfect could come from someone so flawed but then again, on closer inspection, the resemblance was uncanny. They had the same blue eyes that drew me in. The same facial structure that made you doubt God's fairness to other people. They stood at about the same height. The few differences between them were his long, blonde hair and the visible fact that he was younger. "How?" I tried not to sound betrayed by this shocking revelation but I think my voice failed me. "How are you his son?"Despite the imposing resemblance, Xavier was at least twenty and Alpha Damon looked too young to have a child that age. I guess I was just looking for a reason not to believe that they were related. I was look

Chapter 64Xavier's POVJust as I turned to leave the moulded chair where I sat with my mate, the gates of the compound opened, its two metal arms swung apart and a familiar golden carriage appeared from the other side of it. The customary horn was blown, alerting all inside that we were graced by royalty. My heart sank at the sound of those horns. I immediately felt under the weather as a sudden cold gripped me. The inevitable had come. The time was now. Zara paused at the scene too. One carriage left the house but two returned. The second, from it's majestic look, belonged to none other than the affluent Alpha of the Crescent moon pack, Alpha Alken, Riana's father. "You should go in," I said to Zara, eager that she leave. For some reason I did not want her to see me with Riana. We just had a connection, I could not compromise that.After Zara left, I slipped away too. I was not too hasty to meet the princess or her father. The time would come, I kept telling myself but procrastin

Chapter 66Xavier's POVI appreciated the timely intervention from Kraken. No better time than the present. I wanted him back but he could not have come back in a better way or at a better time."What took you so long man?" I did not know when the question escaped my mind. I meant it like, "thank you for saving me from this uncomfortable spot," but from the look of things, I guess it was interpreted differently, like maybe, "I've missed you."I did miss Kraken, his friendly face was always a delight to see. It was like looking upon an impossible mix between the graceful aunt Rose and her elegant features and the giant and straightforward beta Hugh. "It was a hard one man. Those rebel jackals are a handful. I'll tell you all about it later," he paused and made a teasing face that suggested that he thought he had overstayed your welcome. He had not. I pulled the tall man by his arm, shaking him in a friendly manner. "I think I'll hear about that story now."It should have been weird t

Chapter 68Zara's POVRushing out of the room, the ringing sound in my ear persisted. A side of my cheek ached from the slap. Tears rolled down my eyes, shielding part of my vision but I was sure I saw Xavier standing somewhere around the kitchen, by the stairway.I hurried to the kitchen to get Alpha Damon's food, forcing myself to look away from Xavier. I did not want him to see him like I was and I did not want to keep Alpha Damon waiting any longer so as much as I would have loved to talk to him, the choice was not mine.I said nothing to the enraged Alpha as I left the food at his table. Alpha Damon's chambers was huge, the living area where he ate was faced away from the door that led out. While he ate, I used the opportunity to sneak out after wiping tears from my face with my bare hands. I knew sneaking out was risky, beyond risky, it could get me thrown in the dungeons but I did it anyways. I was a fool like that. I had only one mission in my head- to see Xavier, to talk to

Chapter 70Zara's POVI forced a look of determination as I stared into Xavier's vast blue eyes. I hoped he did not see through me, through my forced bravado.Alcohol? It was one of the things that I was banned from doing by my father and had never thought of trying it, even with the restriction. Restrictions foster curiosity and curiosity breeds want, a strange desire to do something just to know what it feels like.In my case, alcohol never bred any kind of curiosity within me. I was just fine not having any at all and I was sure I would not try it until Xavier asked.There was something about the way words twirled in his mouth and danced around his tongue, something about the way the light in his eyes flickered rapidly that made it impossible to say no to his requests. Even when his defeated words came, "I guess it does not have to be alcohol," a go ahead to refuse his offer, I went ahead to bring the thought back into the conversation. "I want alcohol," I said to him. Was I lyin
