(SIDE STORY)LUCIEN'S POV “The children are waiting for you, hurry.” She said, helping me into my hunting armor. I could do it myself but I let her. The tender feel of her fingers on my skin is something I would not get for some time so I had to enjoy it now.“Stop looking at me and focus on how you will be an amazing father in this hunt. The boys have been expecting you to take them for this for months now.” She admonished me but I found it lovely instead.“Yes, Luna,” I said, beaming lasciviously. She slapped my arm.“Focus on the boys.” She said again and I pretended like I was listening while waiting for her to turn around so I could ogle at her behind.She did and I enjoyed myself a little before she became self-conscious and looked at me. I smiled again like I was innocent of all the crimes her eyes charged me.She walked furiously towards me, grabbed me by the neck of my attire, and pulled my face close.“If the boys complain so much that you do not pay attention to them,
(SIDE STORY)LIAM'S POV I opened my eyes slowly, it was so bright and I could not open it too well. I turned to my side, and a little pain pierced me in the stomach. I was instantly alarmed and I struggled to sit up.Immediately I began to try it, and I felt a hand hold my back. The person helped me sit up and I looked to see who it was. The kid smiled at me and I recognized him instantly. He was the boy who put me in this situation.“Why are you here?” I almost yelled in surprise but the ache In my stomach stopped me.“I'm sorry about that. I came to be sure you are okay?” He said with concern in his voice.“Well am fine, you can see that so please go,” I said, upset. He was a reminder of my intense failure. Father told me I would fail and I did. It was such a piss-off.He stood up to go but turned to me again.“Why did you not dodge the attack? At least you should have used your hand. What were you doing when I came to you?” He asked with wonder in his voice.“Shifting of course
(SIDE STORY)LIAM'S POV “Father, I can hunt by myself, you don't have to pair me with him.” I spoke in hushed tones so the beta outside could not hear me talking.”“I thought you liked him. Anyways, you have to go in pairs and I don't want to put you together with someone I am not sure about. I don't want to do that to him either.”“But I am okay on my own,” I protested, fearing for my life to be left alone with that overly strong monster.“I know but hunting rules state that you must have a partner and frankly, you have not been in the company of anyone since you came here except of course, Kaife.” Father debunked my argument immediately. “I… I…” my words began to stutter, unable to picture the right words for this situation.“I guess I have to ask for Lucas since I cannot go alone“I will go with Lucas,” I muttered. He started laughing at me, probably wondering why I was willing to tag along with Lucas just to get away from Kaife. “Lucas is with the nobles, he is asked to c
LIAM'S POV My eyes were still looking away. I could hear him groaning in pain but I could not help him, I mean her. The gender switch was driving me mad.“Help me,” she managed to say.”I know, I know but I don't know how. You… I don't know how to treat a girl. Help me out here.”She started laughing and I was surprised by that. Upset too. “How can she be laughing in a situation like this?”“You should see your face now. You look like an idiot,” she said amidst groans. “It's funny you moron. You are… your own is that you are just so weird. How do I fix you?!” I yelled, still looking away.“Her chest is bare for the love of the goddess. Is she not even embarrassed?“I am, but somehow you are making my situation so funny.” “What the… how? Can you hear my thoughts? Since when?” I was astonished. I share mind links with Lucas alone. I didn't even have a father and mother, unlike Lucas.“Yes, I just heard it now though.” She coughed a little.“Forget that. You are dying!” I blurt
NATHANIEL'S POV “I should do what exactly?” I neared the man called Tristan so he could not forget I was the one going to the king's Palace.I still remembered the bet I made with him and I hoped he remembered too. He looked at me and instantly, I could tell that he did. “Here is how you infiltrate the palace.” He began and both me and Malcolm gave him rapt attention.“There is a food channel that goes into the palace. It is a hidden food channel because the king is Afraid of his enemies getting to him through there. Even me too, don't know how to get in there but I know where the laborers are picked up along with their luggage.”“Ok,” Malcolm urges him to continue.“The wolves who pick them up are skilled in two things - detecting malicious intent and magic of any kind.” He saved me a side glance.I smiled simply. That won't be a problem, I know how to handle that. Which Slyvia had taught Me.………. After I fully joined Malcolm, he took me out across the border Into a conqu
NATHANIEL'S POVIt wasn't long after I woke up, when everyone had gotten up too after the spell had worn off. Guess it's part of the process involved in getting the food to the palace. We checked the goods packed and began to arrange the goods carefully. The boat sailed for almost an hour and then it anchored. We carried all the goods across the border. Some giants stood in the middle of the pathway, the hefty ones threw us on their backs and went into the tree one by one. Immediately, they took me and crossed, the little effect the magic had on me wore off finally and I fully realized, we were in a cave, a deep and dark cave.I saw others being carried in the same manner too, they looked more worn out from the effect of the spell than I was but they seemed quite used to it. I kept silent, staying with them as we wheeled our cargo further into the dimly lit cave to meet those purchasing the merchandise. When we were at the half part of the cave they came into view, and I recogn
EMILY'S POV “My Alpha, you need to go to the chamber now, they are waiting for you, you don't have all the time to yourself.” She disengages from his warm embrace.“Yes, these are the moments that made me hate the throne and all those old men most. It's when they know I just came back from a journey, they would surface. They should not be coming for meetings at times like this you know. It's not exactly the fanciest thing.” He grumbled and I laughed. He always whined about the morning court processions anytime he just came back from a journey.He was sitting on the bed and I was standing in front of him. I bent over and he let me kiss him. He smiled when my lips left his.“You will regret that. After I deal with those old men, I will come back for you.” I turned and walked away, making sure he could see the way my hips moved. I went to the window and leaned on it, staring back at him with my big black eyes. He glared at me.“Don't tempt me, woman. I can damn everything and come af
EMILY” S POV “Are you Ethan’s son?”“Yes, my Luna.” He replied, bowing to me.“And you said your mother is an omega,” I asked him, it seemed so unbelievable to me that this was happening. “Yes, my Luna.”I scoffed, without noticing it. There was no way I could hold back my disdain and disgust for that bastard. So he couldn't continue the love affair he had with my friend, but he told me they were a match made in heaven.On our wedding day he left me for her, so in the end now, he didn’t marry her, he married an Omega just like me.My lips cracked and I began to laugh. It was too funny. The end of the asshole was just too amusing not to laugh.My eyes reverted to the boy who stared at me in bewilderment.“You still know where you live right?”He nodded in affirmation.“Good, because I wish to see your father and mother.”He knelt immediately.“My Luna, you need not, we are too small and humble for someone as great and elegant as you to grace us with your presence.”I smiled, of co
