~Leticia's POV~
I don't understand why my brother insisted on my coming here. I scoffed as I watched them give the honorary speech about the said Alpha king who sat all mighty on his throne and had this forced smile on his face. I need to get out of here.I looked around but my brother was nowhere to be found. I shrugged and walked out from the crowd. I looked around and my legs took me towards the garden. As I was looking around and I bumped into something or rather someone."Ouch!" I winced as I held my forehead.I looked up at the person who stood before. He has his eyes glued on me like I was some support to his life."Mate!" He whispered and my eyes went wide open."You say?!" I gasped in shock and moved back a bit to take a proper look at him."You are my mate?" He said more like asking."I don't know what you are talking about and if you may excuse me, I am here to get fresh air and you seem to be blocking it." I said to him and turned away from him. Before I could take another step, he caught me by the hand. I stiffened as I felt kind of coy in his touch and gulped down nothing."Indecent body contact should be avoided between males and females." I said and jerked my hand away from his.He smirked. Like he fvcking smirk."You are not one teach me whether I should touch my mate or not." He said with his eyebrows furrowed."I am Legend Brendon." He introduced and I scoffed.Of course, Legend Brendon. He is the Alpha Prince as he was introduced earlier in the throne room."Your name?" He asked and I snorted before turning on my heels to walk away. Then I suddenly felt like I was being carried. He freaking carried me on his shoulders.What the hell?!"What are you doing? Drop me." I yelled, squirming against him."If you keep wriggling your ass like that in my face, I might as well mark you as mine now and make you the Crowned Luna Queen." He said, with his voice vibrating against my lap. I gave up hitting and allowed him to do whatever he wants. I thought if I was quiet he would drop and I will be able to use a spell to disappear but this guy who claimed to be my mate or whatsoever freaking carried me to his chambers if I am right. He walked into the place and dropped me on the bed.I opened my mouth to talk but he shushed me."Now, be a good girl and rest. I will not let you down escape. I will not lie to you, I am not that eager to have a mate but at the same time, I need my mate so that as soon as I take the throne, I will not be questioned or be forced to take an action I will regret. It's my father's day, I need to represent the future of the Werewolf world. So mate,. Even if you are yet to tell me your name, stay here. I will send for some maids to look after you. Don't try to run away." He warned and just like that he left. I sat down there.Wait, what did he use on me?Why didn't I use my spells on him?Wait, he can't be right. Right?!From what Ciara told me wolves are the one who get mated so why is the psycho saying I am his mate. He must have mistaken me for her. I stood up and adjusted my gown. I walked towards the door and tried to open it but it did not open.He... He even locked me in here. Arrant nonsense.I fumed as I tried to think of any spell to use but I can't seem to think. It's like there is this part of me that liked the way he brought me here.No.I shook my head. I can't be thinking about these stuffs. I still have Brian who I love so much.I guess I will have to wait for him to come.I used the chance to take a look at his room. A large mirror stood at one side of the room while his closet and something that looked like a bathing tub was there. Okay, I don't care about all these. I walked towards one of the windows and looked out. My lips stretched into a smile as I took in the sight. It was beautiful.The greenery sight was so amazing and alluring. Wow.This palace itself is so large. A creak from the door caught my attention. I don't why but I subconsciously went to hide behind one of the chairs that was there. I saw a man walk in with something that looked like a tray in his hands."Where did he leave that ring?" He mused as he looked through the drawer.Who is he by the way?He must be here to steal with the way he is searching for things in a hurry."Where the hell did that dummy of a prince put the ring?" He mused again but his head snapped up as he sniffed in the air. Instantly, he turned to me and our eyes locked. I stood up immediately into a defensive stance."Who are you?" We asked each other at the same time."I should be asking you that question." He said with a scoff."Well, you met me here." I retorted.He eyes from my head to toe."Legend must have brought you." He said and went back to looking for whatever ring he was looking for."Who are you?" I asked."Gael Marion." He replied."Ohh, that's good. So you called your prince a dummy." I said and I noticed him stop for a second before he recovered."He is my best friend. So it's normal." He said with a relatively forced smile. He gives off bad vibes.I can't trust him.He hissed out in annoyance and stood up."Enjoy your time in here." He said and exited the room. I scoffed and went to sit down on the bed. I don't even have my phone with me.I pouted sadly.~Legend's POV~
"Hey, guy." Gael called me as he walked into the hall. The party had almost ended and people were already going to their places. But as the Alpha Prince that I am, I am supposed to safely send them back and that is what I am doing before Gael interrupted me. I looked at him.
"You got a new chick without telling me?" He accused playfully and I fought the urge to roll my eyes. But wait, he went into my room.She must have escaped!"What were you doing in my room? And point of correction, she is not just a chick. She is my world." I said with a stern glare."Your world? Wait... Your mate!" He gasped.Dummy. Took so long for him to understand."But why did you have her locked in the room?" He asked."She wanted to escape." I said and he laughed out."And if you may excuse me, I need to make sure she did not escape." I said, walking away from him."Legend, this is .." My father's adviser's voice said but I tuned them all out as I walked out of the throne room.She was the only thing on my mind for now.Hope she does not escape or else I will kill Gael with my hands.~Legend's POV~I walked through the corridors as I quietly anticipate her to be there. At least."She does not have a wolf." Ryder's voice said in my head and I halt to a stop."What did you say?" I asked him."I tried trying to connect with her but.. ask what she is." He said and went to rest back. That's how he does. He leaves me to do all the work while he tells me bit by bit, putting me on suspense. I shook my head and walked into my chambers. I opened the lock and went in."Mate!" I called out."Mate!" She mimicked me and I chuckled low key."Tell me why you are being like this towards me?" I asked her."Because you must have mistaken me to be your mate. Like let me tell you, I don't have a wolf and besides I am a witch." She said and just like that I jerked back immediately.Impossible!What kind of shit is this?"You are my mate. I can feel it." Was all I could say to assure her."I don't know what to say because I have a fiance who I l
~Legend's POV~ "Hey, Legend. You can't keep doing this to yourself." Gael's voice said from behind the door. I hissed out and gulped down another bottle of alcohol. It's been a week since my father gave me that stupid options that left me dumbfounded. I could not even think of an escape answer for him. All I did was watch my mate leave from the window of my room. I sniffed in and took another sip. I had locked myself in and refused to attend the court meetings but one thing my dad does not know is that I was drinking. I belched and took another sip. I have missed her so much to the extent that I don't even think I can ever see her again. But why will dad put my life at jeopardy all because of his own mate?!I shook my head and tried to stand up but I slumped back on the floor. I winced slightly and checked my arm. Her bite mark was still there. The place she had bit me one week ago. I would say her teeth is quite sharp to the extent that they left a
~Leticia's POV~I stared at him as he zoomed off. Honestly, I was too dumbfounded to talk. Like he literally stakes his claim and I could not do anything. Okay, I agree. I am denying the bond. That is because I don't want to get all too attached to him. Like I notice the way Damien and Ciara always behave. Not to talk of how Leo and Rose do.Nah! I can't do that."So you know him?" Brian's voice came from behind me.Gosh, I have forgotten that he was even here. I turned to him and smiled."I should be the one asking you that question?" I said to him with a glare. He gulped down and looked away."So you were a wolf, like seriously? Wait, am I also your mate?" I asked him to be sure I am not between two guys."No, you are not." He said and my mind calmed down a bit. But wait?"Why?-""I lost my wolf already." He said and my eyebrows furrowed in pity."Hey, don't give me that look of pity. I am only with you because I love you but now that I fo
~Legend's POV~I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction."Things are about to get hot." Gael said and I chuckled.I know he does not like the way I did not tell him anything but I just can't."Let's get going." I said and we both stepped out of the room.As we walked the corridors of the palace, the maids and guards bowed in greetings. I released a deep breath and wore a stern face. Just as we got to the entrance of the throne room that announcer was about to alert them of my presence buy I raised my hand to shun him."The Alpha Prince..." He swallowed the rest of the word as I stepped into the room. Everyone turned their heads to towards me. And I stood all and mighty in the middle of the throne hall.My father and I shared this 'make sure what you want to say does not lead to your dethronement' kind of look and I almost snickered at him."Rest, father." I said through the mind link and he seemed to be taken aback. I looked around
~Melissa's POV~"Mother, I said I will love to leave this place." I groaned as I stared at her with annoyance. She was way too annoying. She would not let me leave this cage they call a coven.Mtcheww."Melissa, how many times will I tell you that you are going to be the keeper of this coven and that you should behave yourself and earn the other witches respect. But no, you don't. All you do is plan on how to escape this place." She said in annoyance as she plucked flowers from the stem."Mother, you can't understand. This place feels like a bondage to me. I mean, when I left this place. I was able to exercise my powers and explore it." I replied."But in here, all I can do is learn and learn and learn. Nothing else to do. I feel like I am suffocated in here." I said and slumped down on the seat."Once you unlock another level of your powers, I will give you a chance to explore the world." She said and I was suddenly elated."Really?" I asked her."Yes."
~Legend's POV~I walked into my chambers with my body filled with scratches and injuries. The maids my mother ordered were already waiting for me at the entrance of the bathroom. I got into bath tub and the warmth of the water hit my wounds which made me groan a little."Can we start, Alpha Prince?" One of the maids asked and I looked at her."Yes, you can." I said and closed my eyes. The way they kept rubbing and applying all sorts of ointment made me uncomfortable.I know you all must be wondering while I don't heal by myself. Well, like I said before it has to do with the incident which led to my father hating witches. I was only told the titbits of it. I can not tell the full story."We're done." They said and excused themselves. I stayed for sometime in the tub before getting up and exiting the bathroom.Then I heard heels clicking the floor and I knew it was my father's business adviser. Though, she is not a werewolf but she has been working for my father
~Legend's POV~"You don't need to take what your father said to heart, honey." My mother said in her lovely voice that would have made me soft if not for the situation at hand. I continued munching on my apple, ignoring her."Legend Ryder Brendon, don't you dare ignore me." She yelled at me but I turned around this time."Mother, if you were asked to choose between me and your mate's honor and reputation. Which would you choose?" I asked as I looked at her with this pained expression."I..." She stuttered. I held up my hands to her."I know your mate would always come first. He always did." I said to her."Please, Father and I are going to meet my to be crowned Luna Queen. I need to rest. You definitely don't want me to be dozing off while we are talking about such important issue, do you?" I asked with a faint smirk.She closed her eyes and opened it. "I will prepare something soft for you to eat." She said."Don't worry. I'm not hungry and besides, this
~Legend's POV~We drove through the woods as my father kept giving me directions and I could say it gives off this eerie feeling. It was already morning and the shrews won't stop creaking. We got to a place and it looked like a dead end."Are we going down there?" I asked my father as I took a deep look at it."Yes, we are." Was his simple reply. I looked at him scrutiny and gulped before driving again."Stop." My father said and I stopped instantly."Get down." He said again and I furrowed my eyebrows at the way he was ordering me.I begrudgingly stepped out of the car which he did also. "We will be going there in our wolf form." He said and I narrowed my eyes on me."Why? Why are we going there in our wolf form?" I asked, not getting what he meant.Like a whole Alpha King going to visit someone who is of lower class in his wolf form. That is utter disrespect. I mean, it's just like asking the Alpha King to pull off all his royal glory and pay respec
