FORTY
RYDER’S POV
How could she? How is it possible that she walked out of this palace without anyone seeing her? Unless someone aided her escape, and if I find out who did this, I would not have any mercy on them. If I find her, then she is going to be punished. Seems like I gave her too much liberty.
I should have known. For fuck’s sake how did I manage to allow her so much privilege around here? What if something bad happened to her? What if she was in danger right now? How would I live with myself if she harmed herself or if I eventually do not see her again?
I know for a fact that she is safe. If she was harmed or in some sort of trouble, I would have felt it. She left on her own. How could she do this? How? It feels like I would go crazy any minute if I do not see her, or even hear from her. I am mad and scared at the same time. This cannot be happening to me, not after Adeline.
What if she went

TIANA’S POVThe night seemed to be dragging for way too long, and I know exactly why. I returned back to the house when Layla went into a panic and was screaming my name alongside Luke barely thirty minutes after I left. She seemed overly surprised that I climbed down that window and she has spent the last one hour asking me how I managed to, but I can’t explain myself.We have been talking non-stop since she found me, but nothing we said could take my mind away from him. I try to find sleep but it wasn’t coming.“You are not okay,” Layla commented.“What?” I turned to her absentmindedly.“I have been talking to myself for the past ten minutes,” she says slowly “You don’t look okay,”I walked over to the window I had climbed down from and stared out. That walk was supposed to calm my nerves but it didn’t.&ldqu

The next day was a little bit of fun. We visited three neighboring packs in disguise, sneaking into two of them while the third pack granted us easy access because one of those on parole had been ‘struck by my beauty’ in his words.Layla told Lucas I was going to visit a relative nearby and we may not be back for a long time. He wasn’t too pleased to let us go at first but he eventually gave in. I don’t think he bought the lie though but I needed something to take me away from Day star, I needed something to keep me busy, other than hiding away in that house and wallowing away as thoughts of Ryder was the only thing on my mind. Even during our adventure, he still clouded my thoughts.My phone was still turned off, so I have not heard from Elsie since her call last night when I got here. I hoped she was fine and I miss her too, and I hope Ryder didn’t know she helped me with this.I was glad Layla was having fun too. We met a few peo
Royally Desired FORTY-THREE
“What do we do?” Layla asked in a voice I could barely recognize as hers. “Calm down,” I say in my own weird voice. I was scared, but mostly for Layla because I dragged her into this whole mess. Jordan was threatening to kill her and for all we know her family could be in trouble already. I wouldn’t put it past him to do anything rash, he sounded desperate and I remember the look in his eyes after he beat me up on the night he rejected me. He could have killed me if he wanted to and I thought he was going to, but he spared me and now I have dragged Layla into all of it. Layla was hardly ever scared of anything, but she looked terrified now and I know it is not just about Jordan’s threat but fear of what the prince would do to her. “Jordan is going to kill me. He almost beat me up the day he asked for your number and I refused to give it to him,” she says shakily “But even if I manage to escape his wrath, because after all my parents are respectable members of

RYDER’S POV “You look like a walking corpse,” My dad says mockingly. The scowl on my face deepened. “Stay away from this father,” I hissed. Typical of him to gloat at a time like this. Who would think that the werewolf king was a petty bastard? No one but me. I have not slept or eaten in days and I know I look like shit without him saying it. Food is the last thing on my mind, I just want to find her. A lot has happened to me in my lifetime but none was as scary as this. What if I never find her? what then would become of me? How long could I really survive without her? My wolf is slowing down, it’s funny how a woman can make the strongest wolf feel so powerless. Many times, I get angry, I dream of the many ways I would punish her and make her beg for my mercy, but right now, the fear is creeping in, and it outweighs the feeling of wanting to punish her. I have sent a message to all the packs in
Royally Desired FORTY-FIVE
TIANA’S POV No one dared walk out on the werewolf prince, but I did, and successfully must I add. I left, and is it safe to say I regret it already? What was I thinking? How long could I really keep up with this? Did he miss me as much as I miss him? does he have any regrets of his own? Like allowing that bitch Susan to come anywhere close to him, or why he held back information about his former mistress? Would things have gone better if he had just been open to me from the start? Was there even any possibility that he could be happy with me? that I could be something more than a prisoner to him? Did I do any good by running away or I just succeeded in ruining things entirely? What if he had plans to punish me forever for leaving? What if he wasn’t looking for me because he cared, but because he felt insulted and that was why he was ready to pay whoever finds me? So many questions, yet I didn’t have any answers. I want to go ba

Everything started to appear blur to me. One minute we both went into a panic and the next, Layla is turning back to Daystar pack, and then I must have zoned out for Moon goddess knows how long.I felt strong hands on my back, lifting me up, I’m not sure where we are or who the hands belonged to but they felt too comfortable, so I snuggled closer and allowed him sweep me off my feet to wherever he was taking me to. I couldn’t open my eyes, because I was too tired, and because his arms felt so right. It took me a number of seconds to register who those arms belonged to, and why I felt so comfortable in them.My eyes flung open and were instantly met with his. I sucked in my breath and held it for a little over a second. Green emerald eyes, the same that have hunted me for many weeks now. The memories of the first day I set my eyes on him come flooding back, and my wolf is on full alert, wagging her tail and panting.He is angry, so very angry, b
Royally Desired FORTY-SEVEN
Last time I saw Jordan was the day I was shipped out of Eclipse, and I remember the look on his face, almost like he didn’t want me to go, but I know better. He was one of the major reasons I left Eclipse pack. Yes, I lived a hard life there, but his rejection was enough to make me take that bold step to see Alpha Simon.Seeing him like this in this position, I knew without any reasonable doubt that I never felt anything for him. I was never drawn to him all these years until I found out he was my mate, and he was just my ticket to get away from Eclipse so I could meet my Prince.I rushed to where he was and I was just about two steps away from him when I felt someone grab me from behind, apparently one of the warriors that escorted the prince here.Ryder’s beast was hovering over Jordan, who seemed unconscious at the moment. He sniffed the bottle in Jordan’s hands while I tried to wriggle myself away the arms grabbing me, but again, I failed t

“Where are the others?” I snuggled closer to him on our ride back to the werewolf palace. I was exhausted, but excited at the same time. I can’t get over the fact that I have a wolf now and she is the prettiest thing ever. I have burned so much energy from my first shift and I just want to close my eyes and sleep, but I was still so worried for Layla.“They left,” he says shortly.“I dragged Layla into this and she only wanted to help. Please do not punish her. If you must punish anybody then it should be me,” I say faintly, but he doesn’t respond. Instead, he sniffs my hair and exhales softly.“What did Susan say to you?” He asked, a flash of anger in his voice.Oh, that tramp. I had almost forgotten about her. I frowned and sat upright as I remembered her mean words that led me here in the first place. I bit my lower lip and looked out the window. Now he was staring at me with one brow raised.
