EMILY'S POV Lucien returned to the room late after the contest questioning session. I was still tucking the boys in bed in their room when he returned so we didn't meet immediately after he entered the room.He was in the shower when I came in. My scent filled the room and he immediately called my name.“Emmy, you are late!”I huffed in astonishment.“I am late? So what about you, did you come early?” I mocked his words. He growled at me and it made me laugh.“Join me in the shower. I have a few things I want to tell you.” His words sounded like an order. “No, I already bathed.” I refused outrightly.“I already took my bath and I don't want to take another one. I will be waiting for you in bed.” I climbed the bed and rolled into the sheets, waiting for him. He was out of the bathroom after a few minutes. His towel was around his waist and his chest bare. I sat up in the bed, running my eyes around him. “Stop looking at me, I am too tired to handle you tonight.” He said, findi
EMILY’S POVWe entered the kitchen, like one of the maids since we were dressed like them. We joined the cooking. I wanted to wait for the gossiping to begin but Andy was a master in instigating gossip so she set it out immediately.“The lord's son is so hot now. The army had changed him, I want to marry him right now.” She giggled.“Oh, I thought I was the only one who noticed.” One of the maids took up the gossip immediately.“Oh now everyone wants to marry him. But nobody wanted him when he was goofing around. But the change was so fast. I could even bow.” Some of the ladies gasped. It was obvious to me now, that he was not behaving like he was doing now before. There are many changes in the way he behaves now.He had never cared about anyone even though he was jovial.I came closer for the gist masters to talk more.“I think the weirdest thing is that he helps Omega's now.” One of them said, “he used to hate them a lot. He even beat his mother for being an Omega.”“You can ima
ANDY'S POV“Are you sure you want to know?” My gaze fixed on him.“Yes,” he nodded.“Well, there is only one way. By grabbing some food in the local stores outside.” I took his hand, our fingers interlocked and took him out of the palace.We went to the famous food stall in the city. The queue in front of the restaurant is always long. Some sellers there had to start selling drinks and other things that go along with food so the customers of the restaurant would buy from them in case they were in a hurry.We stopped in front of the shop. And I asked him to wait for the food so I could go somewhere. He agreed and I left.I walked a bit far from the place. I initiated the mind link with the queen immediately.“My Luna, I have news for you?”“Yes, what is it?” She asked me, connecting to the link immediately.“I have indeed noticed strange things about him.”“What is it?” “He cannot shift, my queen but every soldier must shift before he is recruited. How can he not know how to shift and
LUCAS'S POV I saw the back of a man inside the hut, he was kneeling, and his clothes were that of the army. He was moving his hands and I was even more eager to see what he was doing.I slipped in and came close, tapping him on the back. He swung his hand behind him immediately, and I dodged, moving back. He rose from the ground turning to look at me, his eyes were alert and wide open.I didn't care though, I was more interested in the lady on the floor. She looked familiar. He was unbuttoning her clothes. Why would he do that? I came closer. The man blocked me immediately, he was giving me a surprised and confused stare. I summon up courage and speak.“Excuse me but that is my mother's bodyguard. I want to help her up if you don't mind.” “Who the hell are you?” He said to me, staring hard at me. I think he noticed the resemblance between my father and me, and he was frightened immediately.“You are the king's son,” he spoke with fear all over his voice.“Mhmm. Now can I help her up
TRISTAN'S POV “You want me to meet Lionel in his palace and get him to side with you? You are aware Lionel Is a greedier bastard than you are and he will never go against Lucien even though he has all those attributes.” I said, my brow raised. I was seriously finding his suggestion funny“Yes, I am aware, which is why you are important. Carry him along and make him see that Lucien has lost favor with you then fuel his desire to take Lucien down.” Malcom incited me with his sugar-coated tongue.“And later you will kill him and take his kingdom after taking Lucien's own.” he laid his plan out dryly.Malcolm let out his famous crafty smile. He patted me softly on the back.“Hey, I will leave Luna for you and a place for the two of you to enjoy life. I will even get you a magic trick that will make her never remember she met Lucien.” He gave me a thug on my apparel and eyed me like he was blurting out my desire.At that moment all I wanted was to slap him off his fangs and then murd
TRISTAN'S POVI know the piece of cloth is his. I shook my head in disgrace. This man was a shame to a wolf-man like me.“Come out, come out wherever you are,” I said, passing the closet.“Come out Lionel. You have been defeated. Come out now.” I kept moving away purposely. “Enough of the hide and seek,” I left where I was standing to a distance before I turned back and returned to the closet again.Tearing it open, the fat wolf king fell out, on the ground. I grabbed him immediately and dragged him into the extreme part of the room and opened the escape hatch.I looked him in the eyes. “Lionel, for the sake of our old friendship, I will give you a chance to leave but on one condition… Go to Lucien, and tell him that Tristan will come for him next.”The Alpha stared at me in horror, shivering underneath my skin, I forced him down the escape shaft and shut it tight.I breathed. I hope he gets to Lucien on time and tells him, so he can prepare because Malcolm is coming at him in full fo
TRISTAN'S POV “I will do it, I will do anything. If I don't allow you, they will come for me and still rape me before they kill me. I will still be touched by those monsters but with you, I know I won't be hurt that much. "She cut in before I could finish the statement. "Please take it easy on me, I am only nineteen. I don't know anything about this.” Her voice was strong, displaying her bravery but she was scared, that was one thing she could not hide. I felt guilty for what I was about to do but I could not think of any other solution.I took a deep breath and slowly climbed over her.“Just scream as much as you can and always look scared, and broken.”. I told her and she did just that. I kept her in the room the whole night. Her moans and pleas were so intense that Malcolm had to come by and tell me, I would kill her if I didn't take it easy. If I fancied her, I should keep her alive. Honestly, I did not expect that kind of talk from him at all but I was pleased, it meant he
LUCIEN'S POV "You mean to say that they told you he has made a lot of changes since he came to the palace? Drastic changes?” I tried to sum up all Emily was telling me.“Mhmm, the information is too little to work with,” I told her.“I know, I thought the same way too but this morning when they brought Andy back to the palace, she could not move then she suddenly woke up. She had forgotten everything about the mission and denied telling me anything about Abel. Instead, she said she must be drunk because yesterday she was in bed with Abel.”“In bed?” I was fixing my clothes in front of the giant mirror in the room, I turned to Emily, who sat on the bed watching me.“Yes, exactly. She said it shyly but she still said it anyway. I was as shocked as you are. I wondered what happened.”“It's strange. They were never that close, it's suspicious. Like he is not…”“Real.” Emily completed it exactly like I wanted to say.“He is so out of the ordinary. I don't know what to say but it is exac
