Royally Not Ready Novels & Stories

I felt my jaw tighten, but I did not interrupt him. Ryan turned fully toward me now. “Tell me, Reinaldo—what do you have to offer that I don’t?” I lifted my chin. “My service.” Ryan laughed openly. “Service?” He shook his head. “That’s not enough anymore. We are not choosing a knight. We are choosing a future king.” He took another step, invading my space. “You married in haste. Your wife carries no child. Your household is wrapped in tragedy and unresolved bloodshed.” His voice dropped. “And everyone here knows it.”

Johan's words struck King Alexander to the core. “Wedding …gowns.” King Alexander repeated before his chest filled with fire. “Those sons of a bitches.”King Alexander racked his hair as if this couldn’t be any worse. “She hasn’t ascended yet, and they- Have you heard anything else? Like who?” Johan shook his head. “No announcements, but they might be waiting till afterward.” “After the coronation, huh?” King Alexander shook his head. He stuck between feeling sick to his stomach and screaming.

They had been elated with the fact that the Royal blood had not extincted as they had thought. According to the oldest of the elders, he said they had hoped and waited to see if the missing princess had survived. But they had specifically said they could not proclaim us kings until the Royal Diamond is aligned once again and the dome of protection is secure over the new palace. Roy had informed them that we were ready when I got out of coma. They had promised to be with us the next day. 'It is a good thing that I will be free at last to live my life and go wherever I want,' mum said smiling at Raven's mum.

They didn’t deserve the honor. Plain white shirt, half-unbuttoned, sleeves rolled high. Loose gray slacks that hung low on my hips. I ruffled my hair with wet fingers until it fell wild, put on the royal ring (black iron and wolf bone), and looked in the mirror. The monster stared back. Calm. Controlled. Smiling. Perfect. Thomas’s voice slid into my mind, crisp and formal. “It’s time, Your Majesty. She’s ready.” I left the study without looking back.

“But that’s not all.” “It isn’t? What else is there?” “Your coronation is a couple of days away, and you still aren’t ready,” he said. The Beta’s coronation would happen first, then the Alpha’s. I had waited for that moment. “I am, Dad. I’m ready.” “You’re not,” he interjected, a stern look overshadowing his face. I didn’t understand. I had done everything required of an Alpha’s son. I was ready. “You’re not, and you know this.”

Ela said. Not with eagerness. Eagerness would have been the wrong register and Ela had never used the wrong register for things that mattered. She said it with the quiet factual certainty of someone who had done the work and who knew the work was done and who was stating a condition of readiness rather than asking permission. Mara held the document.

He gave me a once-over, minutely showed a pleased smile, and then waited for me to stand on his left before commenting, “You look ready.” “Ready for what?” I lifted a brow just as I sat on a wide pillow. “Like a new wife ready for her first night with her husband,” he answered. I immediately choked. “Well, they made me wear this.” His eyes studied my whole being once again, and then he made a low hum from deep within his chest. He shifted to the leader’s side and then signaled something with his hand. The man leaned a little, giving Lucien his ready ear. “Albert, come to my kingdom one day. I’ll reward you for this specialized hospitality.”

“Kady, we’re not engaged yet, and let me be honest with you, this engagement may not happen. So don’t let your hopes up.” Her gaze was steady on my face, glaring at me. “You can’t postpone the engagement. It’s been arranged for years. And we’re getting married whether you like it or not.” “Lower your voice down,” I said calmly, even if I was raging inside. I was a prince, and she wouldn’t dare raise my voice at me or ordered. “I’m a prince if you’ve forgotten that. There, maybe an arrangement, but you were just among those candidates. And if I say I won’t choose you, and I don’t wanna marry you, my father would respect that. Keep that in mind. You may start searching from your book club.”

My heart though, it was doing the absolute most. “ My uncle has had his eye on the crown for centuries. He played the long game since he saw that I was not favoured in the royal court. He will make a move but unluckily for him too, he is away as of now which brings me to this conversation. I need to mate tonight so that I could crown myself and my queen by morning. My uncle will rush back for father’s funeral but I will have already taken the throne.” The prince finished and I could already feel myself panicking but I was trying to stay calm. The room was getting smaller and hotter, his face began shifting. I was panicking hard and when that happened, I got on defense. My fist clenched, rea
