By the time Anna jolted awake, she found she was in Myron’s arms. She was no longer in the castle, the smell of blood and sweat wasn’t in the air. Instead, the air was fresh and the sun was shining into the room through the curtains bathing the two of them that were hugging on the bed with light magnifying their features. Anna felt her heavy breathing calm down as she lay in his arms in a docile manner, he seemed to calm her down in ways she could not explain. She wanted to push him away after all, both of them were people with mates of their own, but she knew she couldn’t. She felt safe in his arms and that was what she needed to feel more than any other thing right now even if it wasn’t the arms of her mate. She let out a sigh, her breath calming but then she remembered her nightmare again and was about to pull away, just as she tried to push him away she suddenly felt something wet tickle down her hand. She frowned wondering why there was sweat on his chest this early in the morn
Anna sat in front of the mirror and waited for the makeup artist to add finishing touches to her face and hair so she could put on the dress that had arrived a few hours earlier. Anna had commissioned her dress to a popular designer under Erika’s instigation, despite being a princess by birth, it was the first time she had ever owned one of those pretty gowns that were worn to occasions like this and she couldn’t wait to see what it would look like when she wore it.While her sister had a full closet of dinner dresses and heels of various lengths which she was not allowed to touch or go near, her own wardrobes were filled with pants, your everyday dresses, crop tops, and boots. They were all of limited edition but they were not the type of clothes she could wear to a ball comfortably, so when Erika had made that suggestion, even though she didn’t want them to spend so much money she had to agree to it. In the end, Erika didn’t let her know how much the dress cost.When her father arri
Myron stood at the base of the stairs patiently as he waited to escort Anna to the ball, compared to a few hours ago when the king had arrived, he was now in a tuxedo, and his hair was slicked backward giving one a full view of his enchanting face.He felt kind of nervous, they were going to appear today in front of the representative of the whole realms as mates, after this night, there was truly no going back. He has to accept her as mate and Luna along with the thousands of envoys in the realm. After all, the king was here to endorse her and give her his support as her father. Even though he and her had done a good job in the past few days posing as one loving couple, this night was everything. They had to ensure the envoys believed he was in love with her as she was with him so that their pack standing would be good, but was this the only reason he was eager to do this? Hell no, he was seizing the opportunity to claim his right over her and call her his. Myron wasn’t a fool, eve
Myron and Anna walked into the hall where the party was now in full swing under the probing gaze of the crowd and just like all the other guests, their first move was to approach the king to say their greetings. Myron, however, was surprised by what he saw, Anna wasn’t bluffing when she said she could decorate. Brightly colored drapes lined up the walls of the hall and ran across the edges of the four large chandeliers in the hall, whose light had been changed from warm yellow light to shrilling white lights, the white light from the chandeliers illuminated the hall making it look flashy. On the right side of the hall was a large table filled with drinks, food, snacks, and all sorts of assortments, while a line of servers stood next to the wine bar, filled the empty wine glasses, and served the thirsty guests. On the top right corner in front, a band was present and they were busy playing a piece of slow music, which was enticing and calming, while on the platform where Myron alway
“Ladies and gentlemen,” King Herman called the attention of everyone a few seconds after the music stopped and they all looked at him with rapt attention. “On behalf of my family and the entire kingdom which you all have come to represent, I would like to say thank you to everyone present at this royal ball. I know the news of the change of venue came as a shock to many and many feared for their safety due to the various rogues incident that has been plaguing our realm but still, you all honored my invitation, I am grateful for your support.” He slightly raised the wine glass in his hand to all the guests as he greeted them. “I organized this ball mainly to make a very important announcement. As most of you know, I have a daughter, one that I cherish and adore so much and have kept hidden from the realm and its people for her safety. Anna?” He looked in her direction.“Please come up here, darling.” The king called and everyone followed his gaze, staring at Anna and making way for h
Anna finally let out a sigh of relief when she saw the guard place Myron in his bed. After he fainted on her, she pushed him off her after mustering all her strength, but that was not where her misery ended. There was no guard on site so she had to practically drag him to the door of the mansion, bearing his weight all on her own until she finally found this guard who came to her aid.“Can you ask the cooks to prepare him something for the hangover?” She instructed the guard as she arranged the duvet that she had earlier used to cover him. She looked up when she noticed she didn’t get a response and the man didn’t leave only to see that the guard was giving her a weird look, she was confused.“Is there a problem?”“The Alpha does not need a hangover soup or anything, he would be fine after a few minutes of rest.” He informed her even though he was still confused as to why the princess, now turned heir, was so ignorant.“What do you mean? We might heal fast but alcohol is different,
“Did you really find your mate?” Archie asked Anna as he saw her out of the room, She stopped in her tracks and gave him a forced smile. In fact, she wasn’t really sure where she was with Collins, she knew she had no feelings for him, but he was also deliberately pushing her toward Myron instead of making an effort with them and Myron confessed to her... she was so confused about the whole thing right now.“Who is he?” Archie asked her and Anna looked at him. That question was the one thing she had wanted someone to ask her but now that Archie asked, she was reluctant to say it and she didn’t know why. Could it be that she was ashamed of Collins? True he was not as perfect as Myron but then he was not that bad, it’s just his indifference, “Why don’t we talk about him later? I need to go check up on Myron, he was pretty drunk earlier too.” She excused herself and hurried away after throwing him a fake smile.Archie stood in place and stared at her with a worried expression, all he co
A thousand miles from the Blood Moon pack, an off-road jeep drove at full speed past the ‘70m/hr.’ sign, the driver ignoring it despite traveling through the narrow road with lots of bends. Avi looked out the window of the passenger’s seat in which she sat staring at the pitch black greenery that surrounded the road, her mother behind the wheels. She had never come this far before in her life, she didn’t even know which territory this was or if the realm extended as far as here. She and her mother had been on a road ever since they left the pack three weeks ago in search of the witch, Sierra, which she wasn’t even sure they would find. Her mother had gotten a lot of clues from her acquaintance but even until now, there was no hope of finding the witch and all they had achieved on this journey was to go further and further away from the pack.Avi had a frown on her face. Right from the beginning, she had not been in support of this journey, she saw absolutely no reason for it, these
