Chapter 83The following days were pure bliss as Alucard officially announced that he and I were together again. My mate had thrown a party to celebrate it even though he was busy preparing for his upcoming diplomatic mission."Let's have a toast, everyone. I can finally be with my mate after many years of being apart from her," Alucard said with a smile and looked at me lovingly. "For so long, I have been longing for her. My beloved, my dollface, my only love, Faustina Miles Bellwood."My heart was about to burst at how he told them without batting an eye how he was so in love with me. I couldn't help but smile and give him a peck kiss on his cheek. For a moment, I saw a small frown on his lips, only to learn his feelings that he didn't like me doing a simple kiss. He wanted more... a wild one.I cupped his cheek and tiptoed to whisper in his ear. "Behave, and you shall be rewarded, pudding."I heard his soft gasp before he cleared his throat, and his eyes glowed in lust for a secon
Chapter 84A few days before Alucard's departure, we had already settled on the setup after I handed him out the jewelry he needed for his diplomatic mission. I let Alucard rummage through the guest list while I was busy handling some clients in the jewelry shop. "Tell our artisans they need to settle the polishing date for Countess Urson's jewelry, Expert," I ordered my assistant as we went to my study room. "Then..." I paused when I opened the door and saw Alucard holding a parchment and reading it before I turned to Expert. "That's all. And bring some refreshments for us."He bowed his head. "Your wish is my command, Your Serene Grace."Nodding, I watched him leave before turning my attention to Alucard, who was creasing his forehead. "Since when did you arrive, pudding?" I asked and approached him to give him a peck on his lips. "What are you reading..." I couldn't help but pause when I looked at the parchment he was looking at. My stomach flipped as I gulped when I realized he w
Chapter 85As soon as we learned of Simone's arrival, Luciana, Lumiere, and Liutrich ran out of the mansion to greet him, who had just exited the carriage. "Prince Simone! Prince Simone!"The beaming voices of my pups echoed throughout the garden as Simone's lips the moment he saw my triplets. "My, my. You three have grown up!" he exclaimed and knelt before spreading his arms to welcome them.My triplets giggled and hugged him so tight. "We missed you, Prince Simone!" I couldn't help smiling when Simone hugged them. "I missed the three of you. It's been a while!" he said before turning to the coachman. "And, of course, I have brought presents to all of you." Then, he turned to me. That was the time I curtsied. "Greetings, Your Highness, Grand Prince Simone!"Simone shook his head. "Oh, spare with formalities, Faustina." He grinned and opened his arms. "How are you?"I looked at his open arms and just smiled, not daring to take a step to be hugged by him. I caught his face contorted
Chapter 86I felt disheartened when Alucard left. As much as I didn't feel like entertaining Simone right now, I had to since my pups were already with him. It was good that they were there, so I still had ample time to recollect myself while thinking about how to coax Alucard. "Yay! I have more books!" Liutrich exclaimed, his eyes glistening excitedly as he looked up at me. "Mommy, I will start reading them today!"Smiling, I caressed his hair as I nodded. "Summon our butlers to help you display your new books." Then, I turned to Luciana and Lumiere, who were busy with the presents they received from Simone. "You are spoiling them again, Simone..." I heaved out a sigh when he chuckled."I don't see them often, Faustina," he said, looking brightly at how they liked their presents. "Thank you, though, for inviting me to their birthday party. My apologies if my arrival is all of a sudden. I also have a business to attend here in the Sowinski Kingdom.""I see. I understand." Smiling, I
Chapter 87 "I see that the five of you are improving your studies," I praised the Ironwood siblings, who had proven their worth that they could be helpful for my triplets. "I hope you will continue this phase along with your siblings, Cedric." Cedric smiled and gently bowed his head along with his siblings: Gavriel, Lysander, Percival, and Elysia. "We are happy for your praise, Madam Faustina. I wish to show our gratitude by being filial to our duties." His words brought satisfaction to me. "Alright, you may return to your quarters and rest. Thank you for today." As they nodded and left, it relieved me that they were easy to handle at their age. I also made sure that they were living comfortably. I knew that even though they lost their parents, I was trying to supervise them properly. I also had my head butler to handle them. "Expert, do I still have a schedule today?" I asked, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Attending the tea party of Marchioness Archer is your last schedule
Chapter 88"How about our children, dollface? Did they know that we are going to eat together?"Alucard asked me questions when I prepared our food here in the Luna Queen's garden. Alucard brought me here when I told him I wanted us to picnic. However, our children were left in the mansion.He watched my movements even though some of him wanted to help me, but I insisted that I serve him just as he served me. "Indeed, yes," I replied and glanced at him. "And I want to be with you alone. We haven't been spending much time with each other these days. So... I missed you, pudding." Those words that came out of my mouth made me want to be buried six feet below the ground from embarrassment. I wanted to be vocal with my feelings as much as possible to reassure Alucard, since we needed to communicate to avoid misunderstanding. My wolf agreed with my resolve. And both of us had been longing for our pudding since he was busy for his departure, and we had this misunderstanding these past few
Chapter 89Alucard"There," I muttered with conviction as I finally put a seal on the envelope with my letter inside before looking at Elijah. "Now, dispatch one of my elite knights to deliver this to Faustina, Elijah. I want her to receive my letter as soon as possible. Understand?" The smile plastered on my lips couldn't be erased as soon as Elijah hesitantly reached for it. He looked at the letter first before looking at me worriedly. "Your Royal Highness, you're already engaged to Lady Charity, yet you're exchanging letters with Lady Faustina..." Elijah emphasized, sighing. "You haven't even informed your mate about your engagement..."My mood shifted as fast as the lightning bolt upon the realization. I pursed my lips into a thin line, looking away."I know that..." This made me massage my temple since Elijah made me slap the reality. "I plan to end my engagement soon, so I can be with Faustina."The statement I uttered caused Elijah to gasp in horror. I didn't have to look at
Chapter 90AlucardMy back straightened upon the mere mention of my beloved mate. I could even feel my heart dropping to the pit of my stomach as I met his frigid gaze before I caught his hand where he was waving the letters I had received from Faustina.My eyes widened in horror. "Where did you get them?"My voice was so thunderous that it felt like it had shaken the whole study room. I could even feel the blood draining to my feet, questioning what was happening."You are not planning to end your engagement with Charity just because of this woman you met," he said in finality.I was initially dumbfounded, still processing his words, until my expression changed into disbelief. "She has a name. Her name is Faustina, Father."I didn't know how he got those letters from Faustina since I kept them in my citadel, but I already guessed that he had some suspicions about my behavior ever since I returned.I remember that incident where I wandered alone in the forest without having my elite k
