One hundred and EighteenUnknown POVWhile they all celebrated the death of the rogue king, the rogue king, very much not dead, chuckled lightly with his new side-kick."Those fools would have seen the body by now. I bet they've lowered their guard."His side-kick, also let out a chuckle, her heart pounding in delight. "That's what we want, isn't it? Although I doubt it's going to be that easy. Seth is a really smart man. He wouldn't let go that easily. Not after what I did."He barked out a laugh, taking a sip of booze.They might be in hiding, but In his new body, no one could recognise him. He loved it. In this new body, he could run and fight.He wasn't short and burly. He was tall and fit.And jealousy shot through him as his side-kick mentioned Seth with a wistful loom in her eye.He was hot now. She ought to admire him, not that pup Seth."He's not half as smart as you, my darling. Dont tell me you are still hung up on that asshole. He chose my ugly daughter over you. "He trai
One hundred and NineteenNaomi "So that's how I, you know, did it for the first time." Aubrey's face picked as she relayed the first time she and Connor had sex.It was hot, even Hazel seemed to think so as her cheeks tinted red.We were at the garden, eating fruits and getting to know eachother better.Hazel and Aubrey have so much in common it was surprising.They had the same birthmark, which was so odd. And apart from that, their preferences were also almost the same. The only difference was that they had almost opposite aesthetics.Aubrey was the pretty, cute lady you had no idea could claw your eyes out. She represented yellow, pink and all things girly, and always had a smile on.Hazel, on the other hand, had a dark aesthetic. Wore dark colours, especially red. Always had red lipstick on. Seductive but sweet, to only the people she cared about. She was also girly, but the other kind.And she would absolutely claw your eyes out.But that was the only difference in them. Their a
120NaomiAnger rushed through my veins at the sight of what was happening before me, and every excitement I felt ten seconds ago flew away as fast as it could.Violet was perched on Seth's desk , and Seth leaned back I'm his chair. They were not in anyway touching, but why was Seth laughing that hard with her?Why was she in this office? What is the bitch looking for? A case?Violet had always had a crush on Seth since she was young and I started doing jobs for their family. She always whined about him, and even on the day of the mating ball, she declared she was going to be mated to him.If not because she saw her mate early, I would have been at the receiving end of her wrath when she found out that I was his mate instead.Now she was back, and a huge part of me was unsettled. I hated it. I hated it so bad, especially because she has been acting so innocent and nice, one wouldn't know she put me through hell.She was up to something. I was sure of that.And Seth had no idea who sh
One hundred and twenty-oneNaomiViolet eyes were filled with fake tears as she lowered her head shamefully, while Seth's fingers worked expertly on my shoulders, easing the growing tension I was feeling away. I wanted to smack his hands off my body. I wanted to smack the tears off her face.It was all a game to her, and now, she has apologised for her wrong doings.But because she meant something to Seth longer than I have, I had no choice but to forgive her.But I would never. I would never ever- "Ah!" I hissed as I felt the kick once more in my belly.Seth's eyes furrowed in confusion as he twirled me around. "What's wrong? Who do I call? What should I do?"He fired and I let out a little laugh. "The baby kicked. You don't have to call anyone, Silly."His face transformed from confusion to pure joy as he touched my stomach excitedly. "Oh goddess, are you being serious, Naomi? My baby kicked?"I couldn't help but smile at his genuine excitement. "Yes, your baby kicked."Seth's e
SethThe more I worked, the more I had to do. I hated it, but it was my birthright.I craned my neck, and the tension in my shoulders released as I imagined Naomi's soft hands massaging the knots in my shoulders like she usually does, but that never lasts for long because her skirt would have been hiked up and I would have been knee deep into her.I ran a hand down my face in frustration. I hardly saw enough of her because of this work, and our vacation was still in my plans.I needed time alone with her, to take care of her.She wasn't heavy yet, but her belly was already swelling.Werewolf babies developed faster than humans, so she was well into the pregnancy.So she was getting cranky and having weird cravings. But because of how busy I was, Aubrey and Hazel had to take care of her, while I made Connor do some jobs here and there.And for Xander, I made him accompany Connor.I had plans, but they couldn't be in motion until I knew Xander could be completely trusted.Naomi trusted
Naomi "Cecil, what does the clock read?""Seven pm, your highness.""Then why is that asshole not here?!" I roared and Cecil, my maid flinched as the glass in my hand landed on the wall, shattering into pieces.I inhaled and exhaled as I stared at the now broken cup on the floor, while Cecil stood and stared right ahead, but I could see her looking at me in the corner of her eye.I've been angry all day. I had no idea why, but all day, I've been either irritated, or overwhelmed.Aubrey blamed it on the hormones. I blamed it on Seth.He has been locked up in his office, not giving me attention and working with that bitch, Violet, and when I asked him to have lunch with me, he promised to come.It has been hours, and he still wasn't here.Was Violet winning? Didn't he know what she was doing? It was all part of her plot, her plan and I felt stuck. I didn't have any idea what to do without seeming jealous.I paced back and forth in the room, frustration bubbling within me, coupled with
NaomiLight snoring drifted in and out of my ears, and my eyelids fluttered open, revealing a dimly lit room. The warmth of the covers cocooned me, and I slowly turned my head to find Seth still sound asleep beside me. His tousled hair and peaceful expression made my heart soften.But that feeling didn't last long as the events of yesterday rushed back to me. He really hurt me, I couldn't even think straight after that. I sighed, slipping out of the bed, careful not to wake him and wrapped myself in a robe and quietly left the room.The jug was empty, and a glass of water was what I needed, and I headed to the kitchen on our floor.I let out a relieved sigh as I met an empty kitchen, and I walked towards the fridge. Some kitchen staff often stayed back to make breakfast as early as they could for the Royal men, but I made sure to stop that when I became queen. The Royal men could wait for a few hours before having breakfast. There was no need to stop the ladies from having a good ni
One hundred and Twenty-FiveNaomiFuming, I left the kitchen, the sound of my feet in the floor echoing after me up until I reached the door to my room.I slipped in quietly, but I wasn't as discrete as I hoped I was as the light flickered om the minute I got inside, and Seth sat at the end of my dresser, with the light control in his hand.He crossed his hands over his biceps, and I had to stop myself at ogling at the body of a man that was my mate and not my husband, like I was informed this night.I didn't want her words to get to me, but she was right. He never asked me to get married to him. Maybe he doesn't see me as a wife.I looked into his eyes, trying to find my answers but they just studied me instead."Why are you up?" I asked, walking into the room as I pulled off my robe, and I sat on the bed, preparing to go back to sleep all while avoiding his piercing gaze.I was still mad at him. So I pretended not to care. I also tried my best to hide the fact that something was bot
