Royally Not Ready Novels & Stories

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.”

One in human form, the other one a beast standing proudly like he owned the world. Silence ensued while they assessed each other. 'I've been tasked to bring you home.' The Royal Beta broke the silence first then he bowed low. His dark gaze was on the ground. 'Who by?' 'Our people.' He looked up to level his gaze with his king. "The kingdom is in a dire strait, min kung." The grit and growl that followed the voice were filled with uncertainty. And disappointment. It means both of them were still mateless. At least his beta could shift. He on the other hand...

“From the heir himself. I am not at liberty to debate the request. Only to deliver it.” “She’s not ready,” Callum said, rising now too. He wasn’t as loud as Ingrid, not as visibly furious, but there was a coiled intensity in him that made my heart lurch. The kind of quiet that was always more dangerous than shouting. “She’s barely had a chance to breathe since the Ball, and now you expect her to answer some sudden royal summons like it’s nothing?” His voice dropped lower. “That’s not how this works.”

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.”

As the scandal dissipated, love and trust prevailed. Our royal marriage was approaching, and with it, the promise of a new beginning full of love, happiness and growth. Giovanna: Prince Alexander, we went through many challenges, but our love was strengthened with every obstacle overcome. I am ready to walk by your side in our royal wedding, knowing that we will face any adversity together. Prince Alexander: Giovanna, you are my strength and my inspiration. No scandal or obstacle can shake the love we share. We are ready to celebrate our wedding and start a new phase of our journey together.

I smiled at them. “I’m okay. Don’t worry about me,” I told them. I didn’t feel sleepy despite not having enough sleep and having tired eyes, but I felt like I was preparing myself for later. I’m sure that Mom will be announcing it, but I still can’t believe it’s true. It’s been scientifically confirmed. Noah is King Ricardo and Queen Josephine’s missing son, Noah is Prince Brylle Wilhem.
