"I...I didn't judge him."The prince stuttered for the first time in his entire life.He's used to ordering people around without anyone making him stammer. However, this time he did because the old lady asked him the most difficult question that anyone has ever asked him."I'm just trying to be cautious grandma."He paused and a small smile found its way to his lips. It was silent inside the big room. Grandma stared at the young man with a raised eyebrow as he tried to defend himself."That's what your father did, he didn't give Alessandra a chance to show him that she was worthy to be his son's destined mate."There was bitterness in her voice as she explained to the young man so that he would understand better.The memories clouded in his head. The memories that he didn't want to remember.The king didn't give Alessandra even a single minute to great him.All he didn't was say hurtful words to him.Ace could feel the pain that he had tried to ignore so many times. He bit the inside o
On the old mansion's balcony,stood a man with a faraway face. His hands were dipped in his pocket and he leaned on the cold concrete pillar for support.It seemed like the whole world had lost meaning to him, leaving him with no choice but to drown in sorrow.Grandma looked at the young man with a sad face when she walked to the balcony."Unable to sleep?"She asked with slightly raised eyebrows.She had just came from Alessandra's room after she was sure that the poor was soundly asleep.The Lycan prince heaved a slow sigh and turned around,a lame smile on his lips. He wished he could sleep silently when he left his mate's room.But how could he do so when all he saw was her mate's terrified face whenever he closed his eyes."Yes, it's hard for me to close my eyes and and sleep soundly after what happened."He admitted with a small nod."It has always been that way."The old lady paused and inhaled sharply. It was silent for a brief moment on the balcony.A deep frown settled on the Pri
The mates didn't talk that much. They just kept quiet and basked in each other's warm embrace.Ace's strong arms were wrapped around Alessandra, she laid her head on his chest as she listened to his uneven heartbeat.Even though Ales didn't want to admit the damn truth. She had missed his touch so much.Amelia was so happy to feel her mate after being away from him for such a long time.The wait was finally over.Those long nights of staring at the moon blankly and cursing it was long gone."Feeling sleepy?"The Lycan prince asked when he realised that his mate was finding it hard to open her eyes."Yes,"Alessandra answered with a cracked voice. It reminded her of the day she fell asleep in his arms when they met for the first time."Close your eyes and get some sleep. I know you're exhauste."He leaned forward and whispered in her ear. His warm breath fanned her neck which made Alessandra tremble slightly."I want to dream about the angels.I don't want the nightmare to come back again."
"Don't pretend that you don't know what's going on grandma."The prince said with a raised brow.He knew the old lady was just pretending to play dumb because it was embarrassing. Ace has never been embarrassed in his life like that."Pretend what? I don't know what you're talking about young man."She had an innocent face like a small kid.Ace knew he would never win against her. He just smiled and shook his head in disbelief."You're really something, grandma."A chuckle slipped from his lips."We're on good terms now."He said with a broad smiles.It reminded him of the previous night. He allowed himself to look vulnerable for once. He let out all the pain that he had been caging for years.Only one person was allowed to see that weak side of him,his mate."I feel so good, grandma, "Ace confessed. He had a dreamy face.He looked like a teenager who had just fallen in love."I'm glad that you settled the difference between you two."She paused and a small smile found its way to her lips.
"I still remember so vividly when someone didn't want to hear anything to do with mates,"Joseph joked.Alessandra rolled her eyes when she heard his words.It was true that she didn't want to hear anything to do with it. However, things have now changed because they're on good terms."I still remember too. She almost killed me one day when I mentioned that name."Hannah chipped in."Can you two just stop it?"Ales pretended to be serious."Despite everything...I'm so happy that you finally realised that staying away from your mate won't do you any good."Joseph said. He recalled how Ales yelled at him when he tried to explain to him that she needed to talk things out with his mate.The rogue knew how it really felt because he has been there."You look more healthy."Hannah joked which made Alessandra snort. She knew they were saying the truth."And what happened to you, Joseph?"Ales asked with a raised eyebrow.She decided to brush off the topic because she knew the two individuals won't
"What if we lose the fight in the end?"Alessandra asked with a worried voice.The mere thought of it made her whole world shake. Whenever she recalled what she went through for the past month,her skin crawled, she didn't want to experience it once again."If that ever happens..."The Lycan prince paused and ran his fingers through his jet hair, holding onto it so tightly as if his entire life belonged to it."What about we just forget about all our struggles and enjoy the slim calmness and peace that we have right now?"The Lycan prince raised his eyebrows as a small smile found its way to his lips. He didn't want to imagine what would happen in the future.He wanted to live in the moment and forget about what the future held. One thing was for sure,the prince knew that their future held darkness and bitterness.He leaned forward and locked their lips. He kissed her so deeply and passionately, her lips were soft just like the first day they kissed.Alessandra decided to bury all the f
Alessandra and Ace teased each other to no end. The cold and distant Lycan prince was long gone and he was replaced with a soft-hearted prince.The version which no one in Alvannia kingdom new that existed.The only people who saw that side of him were the ones who were close to him.How could he be cold-hearted and distant when his mate was around? The prince couldn't help but tease Alessandra. He liked how she reacted to his teases.Her cheeks flushed into seven different shades and she would roll her brown hazel eyes which Ace loved so much.After a few minutes of talking, Alessandra walked back to her room and took a warm bath.The bath was rich with herbs to help her relax her body, the Lycan king is a monster under the sheets.It was not like Alessandra was complaining or something, she liked it last night. She enjoyed every single second of it, the first night was awesome.When she was done taking a bath and everything, she walked out of her room and descended the grand staircase
Alessandra frowned since she didn't know what the hell Ace was talking about."A traitor?"She arched her brow in confusion."Yes, a traitor because you did what your mother asked you not to do behind her back."He chuckled and Ales rolled her eyes playfully." I think we're both traitors."She shrugged her shoulders and a mischievous smile crept at the corner of her lips.The Lycan prince tried to think deeply, searching for what made him a traitor. However, he couldn't find one."How?"He asked."You're fucking with your father's enemy behind his back."Alessandra laughed out loud.The Prince's eyes widened for a second because he didn't see it coming. He shook his head in disbelief because he was rendered speechless."Damn it! How stupid of me."He mumbled under his breath.He has always been smart, everyone knows about it. However, this time he was outsmarted by his mate who couldn't stop laughing at him.The prince grabbed his mate's hand and pulled her close to him. He made Alessandra
