Re:zero Royal Candidates Novels & Stories

“You need to give up the wishful thinking, brother. The throne needs stability. You cannot offer us that.” My eyes trailed over to his. “Yet here you are, threatened by the mere mention of my being given a chance. How stable does that sound to you?” His fists clenched on the table and I ignored him, turning my attention back to father. “Pack codex, section C. Every one of royal blood is eligible to contend for rulership should they find a mate and bear an heir.” His eyes glowed with anger this time. “Fine. But only when you find a true mate. Someone who accepts you.” His eyes moved over me and the chair I was restricted to. “All of you.”

Amelia never left the village before, so she had no idea about the current affairs happening in the capital or palace. But Faiz knew everything, despite always being in the dirt. “Coronation ceremony? Is Prince Ezra going to be the new king? Seems legit since he's the only suitable candidate.” Faiz tried to guess since he was the only candidate for the throne. Prince Ezra was the only suitable candidate. And if it is not him, the current king also has a son and a daughter. There was no further information in the notice, no mention of whose coronation and mating ritual ceremony it was.

I am utterly in awe of the beautiful creature in front of me. “Our mate.” Rohan mutters dreamily. “Our queen.” I agree.

"What about me? She is engaged to me anyway." Rebekkah and Ayesha both shook their heads before Ayesha explained. "They don't want just anyone. They want someone who sees the throne as they do. A possession of power, that gives them control over the island. They wouldn't risk you coming in and having different opinions on the matter." "They need someone malleable." Rebekkah supplied. "Somone they can control to make sure the throne continues to serve them even after they have vacated." "So negotiating is out of the deal."

She challenged me for my role and that is how we ended up here. "The first round will be with weapons and on your fighting skills that also includes defending. This is not about who is going to be a good mate to Zander, it is about who can be the best queen for our kingdom. Who can give the real meaning to the status of queen ". Aiden emphasised on the last part when my opponent peered after hearing about the end prize which was none other than Caroline ,my previous Alpha's daughter . I shook my head internally. If this is the future of the kingdom then goddess bless them.

* Prince Vincent * The coronation is done, and now we have gathered around as a family. Alpha Zero as the witness of the event, together with my heavily pregnant Aunt Jasmin is seated on my left side of the table. While on my right sits Asley and Beta Derek then Alex and Calib are seated opposite them. The wolves of the Royal pack are still full of life even when it's past midnight.

Her mouth went agape as she heard what the theme was. A compatibility test? She smugly smiled as she stared at Maia, who was sadly bowing her head down. The moon might really be on their side now. “Each of the candidates will be holding the King’s hand for ten seconds. The king’s eyes should turn into a lighter shade, and so as the candidate. If that happens, then, the next Luna Queen will be decided.” Arlan ended up reading the paper he was holding. “Now, may I call in the candidate from the Night Walker Pack, Miss Maia Landers.” Arlan seriously called her.

I didn't pay attention to the three but I stayed still in my seat,waiting for that moment when the last Alpha has to move forward and greet the King and the Queen. Alpha Zero of the North, is the last in line. "Congratulations King Alpha Jack! An heir at last. Thank you for inviting me tonight." He's deep manly voice is distinctive enough to my sensitive hearing. I turned my head away, I felt that I might spill out myself if I would look at him. "The pleasure is all mine Alpha Zero." "By the way, my King. I'd like to remind you of the favor you asked. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't agree."

“Father, I will not see Ava diminished. I love her, and I will take no other wife. If I marry, it will be her and her alone.” A heavy silence fell. “Ethan,” the King said slowly, disappointment hardening his voice, “do you understand the weight of what you are saying?” The Queen’s gaze moved to Ava, cool and unamused. The daughter of a minor clerk aspiring to become the lawful wife of the heir apparent bordered on absurdity. The King looked between his son and me before speaking with deliberate restraint. “Today is Hazel’s choosing,” he said coldly. “As for whatever… understanding you believe you have formed, it may be discussed another day. ”

“Right. Sure. Except… I happen to like this small, coastal town. I love this cove and the views. I can’t really afford to live here, but I’m willing to make concessions.” This has him perking up. “That’s precisely what I was hoping you would say. What you’re in need of is cash flow. What I’m in need of is a surrogate. For the royal heir,” he repeats. He rests an elbow on the table between us. Leans forward. Stares into my eyes again as he slowly extends his hand toward me and his fingertips graze my temple while he brushes away a plump, blonde curl that’s escaped my low ponytail. My breath catches in my throat. My nipples tighten behind the cups of my bra. My skin tingles.
