Jace's POV"What's going on outside?" I asked Collins, the newly elected head of the private guards. "I think it's an ongoing protest led by a woman." He replied back. "I'll have a look. I'll be back in a jiffy." Slamming the door shut, I lowered my head on the table as the feeling of loneliness crept into my mind. Life wasn't as fun as it used to be. Many months ago, I was battling with how to win Nina's heart since I had a very strong competitor - Derek. It worsened when the case of Amara was brought up. Nonetheless, life was more fun then than it now was. I cracked my knuckles as different thoughts ran through my mind. Memories of how father used to berate me, and make Aiden look like the good guy, and how I wished I could actually make it to the top someday. Who knew I would be the one to order for my brother's arrest? Who knew father's death would pave the way for a seamless reign?The door opened, disrupting my thoughts. Collins was back. There was a look of dissatisfaction o

Chapter 233Nina's POV"Are you leaving?" Jace's voice pierced the air as I spun to face him. "You're awake," I murmured. "And oh, yes, I'm leaving. Good morning, Jace." He patted the bed, inviting me to return to him as he hesitantly sat up on the bed. "Won't you at least appreciate me?""Appreciate you? For what?" I retorted. "The way you entered the room and forced me to rescind the order to arrest your brother is exhausting. Even though that happened, I agreed to have a good time with you all through the night. Didn't you enjoy all of me in you, love?" He said, his tone laced with seduction. Memories returned to mind as a small smile tugged at my lips. I quickly covered it up with a scoff as I walked back to meet him in bed. "Jace, you're the best guy in bed. No one debates that. We've been in bed for long hours. I don't feel so good right now. Can I take a short break?""I think that's a more polite way to walk out on me," he said with a forced smile. "You can have a short br

Nina's POV“I can’t wait to see my baby,” Jace whispered into my ear. “The wolves can’t wait to welcome their next ruler. They can’t wait to cheer you on!”A small smile tugged at my lips as I exhaled, sitting up on the bed. “I can’t wait either, Jace.”“Where are you going?” His voice grew closer as I felt the cold contact of his hands on the back of my neck.“I’ve got tasks to handle, Jace.” I slowly spun to face him. “By evening, there’ll be enough time to have a proper chat with you.”“You’ve got subordinates. Order them to handle the tasks. I need your attention at the moment. The tasks or Jace—what’s it gonna be?” He asked, his eyes fixed on my face.I drew a long breath before throwing myself back into his arms.“Now that’s my baby!”“We don’t have to be so worried when there are so many people willing to get the tasks done,” Jace continued. “Can’t you see how good our economy is now?”“It’s much better now compared to the regime of your father and that of Derek,” I whispered b

Aiden's POVIf my father were alive, I would have asked him to tell me who placed a curse on me.Jace and I fought hard to gain the Alpha seat, but I never won the fight, not even with Derek. All along, I trusted Derek to make it work, but instead, he forced his way to the throne and got demoted within a few days, dashing my hopes of ruling my own people.I did not just lose a father. I lost a dad. I lost a solid foundation, and my heart could not ache any more. With my head buried on my knees, I cursed under my breath.“Nothing will ever make Jace and me friends again,” I cursed, my heart and mind agreeing to make it immediately effective.I would rather remain locked in this cell for the rest of my life than be released on the condition of being friends with Jace once again. He is the worst thing that has ever happened or will ever happen to me.A tear rolled down my chin as reality dawned on me. Everything I desired to have, including but not limited to the Alpha seat, Nina’s full

Nina's POV “I don't want to talk to either of you. Get out of my sight!” Jace yelled at us, but we managed to enter the room he had gone into. His pupils dilated as he spun to face us again. “Didn’t I just tell y’all to get out of my sight?” He pressed. He definitely heard everything we discussed. He must have felt left behind or betrayed. “The hands cannot say to the legs, ‘Get out of the body because I am mad at you.’ Can they?” I responded quickly. He scoffed under his breath, offering a wry smile. “Would you let me leave the room if you wouldn’t?” Jace shot back, his eyes filled with determination. “This is not how your reign is going to last, Jace. Be angry, but not for a long time,” I cautioned, and that seemed to catch his attention. He cracked his knuckles as he responded, his voice dropping. “Are you giving me orders and advice on how to rule my people?” “Yes, I’m doing that,” I said, stepping closer to him. “Kick me out of the room, and I’ll know you’re being serious
