Alaric’s POVI’ve always hated mornings. To me, mornings were just the beginning of a horrible day. But this morning felt different, and I could feel it the instant I woke up and the first thing that came to my mind was her, My Princess.The events of last night replayed in my head. After I had left her in the room, I had called for one of the women who would kill to lay with me and spend a long night with her, one that I didn’t enjoy because I kept thinking of her. A smile crept to my lips, taking my last thought off my head and a new one. It was a new morning, one to taunt my Princess and keep trying to get her inside my bed. I stood up from the bed and rang the bell. The maids immediately swept into the room while I went to bathe. The moment I was done and dressed, the room was sparkling clean, making it look like no one had ever used it.That was one thing I enjoyed out of all the perks of being the Alpha. I loved my space clean, and they brought out the best of it. I grinned in
Audrey’s POV“Lock the door.” I heard him say. I gulped down instantly, roaming through my head, wondering what Alaric could do to me. I started imagining his hand on me, his voice in my ears, but everything was shut down as he breezed past me, closing the door and coming to slam me against it.He was so close, his lips so close, his breath fanning against my face. I stared deepinto his eyes, not wanting to bow down to any effect he might be thinking he hason me.“Audrey…” he staggered to say, blinking away from me and to my chest.“Why?”I bore the same look on my face at his question. He has acted so stupid and irrational, and I would not give in to whatever he had to say. Calling me out in front of the maids, making me look like I was just a thing for him and forAsher. Nope, I inhaled sharply. I was not going to give in.How he looked up at me next made all my resolve break, our eyes meeting instantly. His black orbs were soft as if pleading with me. His lips were quivering as h
Audrey’s PovI didn't know if i packed my clothes from the floor, or if i wore them myself, all i knew was that i was fully clothed when i got back to the room, with a hole in my stomach from lack of energy, a deep sensation crawling in my stomach, down to my thighs wanting more of Alaric to fill me up. His words rang in my head again as I slumped to the bed. “Only I, princess, can satisfy you that way.” he said before walking away.That was not entirely true. Or even true at all. How dare he say something like that? with just two times of having sex, and him being the first person i've had sex with. I scoffed out at the thought of it. I have not even touched Asher to know that. What if Asher was better than him? What if instead of what I feel with Alaric, I feel more of it with Asher? “I don’t think Asher wants to touch you that way,” My wolf mindlinked me.“Well, you don't know it. I’m his mate, there’s no way he won’t want to touch me. If Alaric is wanting to touch me, I don't s
Asher's POVI thought the kiss would work. Leaning to kiss the back of her fingers, I thought fingers would work. But at least I got a sweet smile from her. As I led her to the table, only one thought stayed in my mind, and that was that she was gorgeous. The desire I've seen in Alaric's eyes, everything was starting to make sense. I could sense her nervousness, but I could not say anything to stop that, so I didn't bother. With a sweet smile plastered to my face, I pulled out the chair for her as she took her seat before walking to mine. I had figured she might be hungry since Alaric cut the breakfast short, and I didn't see her eating much last night, so I set this up. I had just some hours to spare this morning since my pack meeting won't happen till afterward, and I've decided to get to know her. After all her loving speech, this was the least I could do for her."Well, I figured you might be hungry, so why not prepare this?" I said, meeting her eyes and hoping to lighten up th
Audrey’s POVThe devil was here. It was like anytime I thought of him or wanted to think of him, his face magically pops up and we’re seeing each other. His black hair was done in the same way Asher’s own was, his eyes staring straight at me as he sat down on the same seat Asher just stood up from.“Princess, if you had told me there was going to be an occasion where you'd dress up as beautiful like this, I would have gone in to…”“Why are you here, Alaric?” I cut him off, rolling my eyes at him as I leaned back into my chair.His eyes scanned the entire garden before resting back on me, “Isn’t it obvious? My mate is here and I'm here to watch her.”Irritation and annoyance coiled my guts up, making me jerk my chair backwards as I stood up. “You are not my mate, Alaric. And you would never be my mate. It would kill both my wolf and I to accept you as my mate.” I had not taken more than three steps when I felt his hand pull me backwards, causing me to roll towards him and land on his
Audrey’s PovAfter discovering that I’m a slut for Alaric and just a princess to Asher, my evening went as sour and sweet as possible. A part of me kept thinking and rewinding to the kinds of stuff I wanted Alaric to try on me, up to the extent I communicated to my wolf about things that one could try when having sex. And sour because of what i should be doing with Asher instead. Asher has always been my dream man and will always be my dream man. And guilt killed me inside that i preferred Alaric more than him when it comes to bodily stuff.“Maybe it’s just because you’ve not tried anything with him. It has always been with the devil.” my wolf mindlinked me.“Why is he not as charming as Alaric with words? Why can’t he be as sweet as Alaric regarding everything?”“But I thought Alaric was the devil and annoying one?”“YES!” I growled out, jerking off the bed with my eyes wide before a deep sigh passed away from my mouth. I let my shoulders slump with a tired pout in my mouth before
Alaric’s PovMornings, like always, are my most hated thing, and even Princess could not fix that after the last stunt that happened the previous morning and the disappointed look on her face as I left her room last night. This happened after I said one bad thing about my dear, reasonable, happy brother. I automatically became the bad and unbelievable person, or even in people’s minds, one who might be wishing his brother bad or jealous of him.After wearing the last piece of my lazy clothing, my hair ruffled, and my face scrunched up in total disgust, it is evident that I had not used any of my strength in this morning's preparation. My stomach grumbling reminded me of my wrong decision last night, angrily going to bed without eating after discovering my dear good brother and Princess slayed me. I left an empty table without any announcement of us not having dinner together, making me wake up hungrily.After a deep sigh and my wolf growling at me out of my thoughts, I strolled casu
Audrey’s Pov.“Fuck!” I yelled, slamming the book shut and throwing it across the room. I stood up from the bed, my feet moving swiftly to the mirror as I stared at my tired and irritated face. I folded my hands underneath my breast, taking in my full expression. It was just mid-afternoon, and it looked like the longest day of my life. After breakfast, I returned to this room with the butterflies and suspicions embedded in my stomach. While Asher had already been lovely to me throughout breakfast, there had been a pit of warning in my stomach with the way Alaric stood up and disappeared when it was obvious that he had been waiting for me to get to the table. And when I asked Asher, he replied, “He’s just throwing a fit of jealousy. Do not mind him.”Even though he had said those words to me last night, and they had annoyed me madly, a part of me still did not like the angry Alaric.“Well, flirty Alaric is more fun.” My wolf chided.I growled under my breath, pulling my black hair to
