The commotion drew Martin out of his thoughts. He was worried about Cisca, he hadn't seen her since the previous day. No one seemed to know where she was. Taking a long stride to see what was happening. He met his mother outside his room. She was not a morning person. Therefore her presence was a little shocking. It was still quite early."Hey mom." he greeted. With a bright smile, she responded "Morning son, how are you doing today?""I'm good." He answered warily. She seemed to be in high spirits and he tried to figure out what could possibly be the cause. There was nothing interesting going on in the pack that could warrant her excitement. "Forgive my manners, please come in." He added quickly.He noticed her shoulders were relaxed today as she walked into his room.Queen Nicky scanned the room. Martin left his room unchanged since he was a child. The only difference is that it is not as untidy as it used to be. He was no longer that playful and boisterous boy when he was youn
Queen Alexia moved to the window. Her eyes were blood shot. She was sleep deprived and finding it difficult to sleep at night.What could be the cause of her nightmare? She had been eating upstairs for two days. Her presence would soon be required by the king.The last one really scared her. It felt so real. It was messing with her mind. She had to tell somebody about her dream. Stiles wasn't around. She She called Sylvia to prepare a bath for her. She had to come out of this room. It contributed to sucking her energy.She wore one of her favorite gowns, powdered her face, sprayed some perfume to go with before going to face the king. She took a walk to the king's chamber.The guards at the door refused to grant her access. They said the king didn't want to be disturbed. This provoked her. They looked at themselves secretly when they told her. She knew they were hiding something. They expected an outburst but she gave them a polite smile, and turned back to her room. It shocked Sylvi
"Alright alright, Your highness " he stood and raised his hands in mock surrender, bowing in exaggeration.She smiled at his antics. He was fun to be with. His eyes crinkled shone with mirth.He felt a leap in his heart as he watched her. He liked being around her. He wasn't sure their pairing would acceptable but there wasn't harm in trying. Their case could be an exception.Reagan let out a cough that broke their stare and they looked at the intruder."I brought breakfast princess" Reagan stood on the other side of the door. She wiggled her brows at their smiles on the duo faces.Reagan had the decency to give a sheepish smile, and a guilty look.Ah! Of all times for a friend to show up. "Good morning Prince Martin." Staring playfully at Cisca.Cisca laughed mimicking a polished lady "That's great, peasant.""I had to persuade this big baby to eat." Martin complained.Cisca saw Reagan's inquisitive eyes widen, and she groaned. Reagan loved dotting on her. She knew it mustn't have
I didn't ogle him, he's married." Amelia defended herself. Now she could see that he's truly delusional and I reasonable.He was trying to project his failure on her instead of owning up.She couldn't wait to see his angry face when they got home and heard that Alden was able to get positive results about the hunt. She smiled inwardly.He scoffed at her. "If you could do it to my brother then you can do it to me too."There was a time that his words pierced her, made her cry even. But she was past that stage now."Maybe the problem is not me" she egged him on. With a hidden smile, she watched him almost tear his hair outShe knew his problem now. He had inferiority complex and was always striving to be better than everyone else to make himself look better. He would be the death of himself one of these days.She entered the car and he instructed the driver to drive off.Meanwhile, Alden and Brendan were called down for dinner.They went downstairs to join their hosts. The Alpha and Lun
I'm fine." She replied. She looked pale and jumpy like she had seen a ghost.He felt her stiffen and her eyes widened at the sight of someone.Martin was curious as to why she looked that way. What could she have seen?He followed her gaze but he didn't see what she was looking at.She tried to calm her nerves. She wasn't aware that Alden visited the water quarters. Infact it was rare to see the nobles visit the omegas quarters. That was why she asked Martin that question earlier.Seeing him in flesh and blood, staring at her hugging another man made her feel guilty.The intensity of his gaze made her feel like she was cheating on him which was ridiculous given that they weren't even in good terms. He hadn't acknowledged their bond.All the same she felt that way. She should have guessed. Ezra was unusually excited that morning but she didn't pay attention to her.She gave Martin a rue smile as she saw the concern in his
Cisca hurried down to her quarters. Luckily, it was still open.She entered into her room but was shocked to see Alden. He looked angry. How long had he been waiting for her?Was she in trouble? Why did she keep forgetting to lock her door?It disturbed her that he kept staring at her intensely. Did he know that she went to see Martin?"Where are you coming from?" He asked her. He studied her, she looked fidgety."I-- I went out." She managed to utter.Something caught his eye. A shiny hairpin. It looked expensive. Could Melissa have been right about Cisca and Martin being in a relationship?She was scared of him. He could tell from the stiffness of her shoulders. There was no trace of smile on her face.She was sporting one when she was talking to Martin earlier.Did she prefer someone in her age bracket?Damn it! He was jealous of his brother. Something t
Alden couldn't sleep. At the crack of dawn, he went to the dungeon. It was so that he could speak with Brendan without hindrance.The guards opened the gate for him and ushered him to where Brendan was.He assessed the dungeon. It reeked of cigar and ashes. The ceilings were almost dropping. The last time he was here was 10 years ago.Brendan was without clothes, bound and crouched like a criminal.They disrespected his instruction. He cocked his head. They understood and left them alone."Why did she frame you?" He asked.Brendan refused to talk. Maybe Brendan had a secret? He thought.After a while, with his head bowed. He confessed."I did it.""Care to repeat that?" He asked. Alden wanted to believe he didn't hear well."Yes, I did." He looked down ashamedly."Do you understand the consequences of this allegation?" He asked."Yes." He said somber.Alden squi
Sylvia pushed the door of the pub open and met silence.....Surprisingly, there wasn't any customer.Expecting Mr Rudolph, she met a weird looking man. He was dressed like a shaman smiling weirdly. His hair was shaggy, like it had seen better days. She felt like little red riding hood entering a lair.Where was Mr Rudolph? She wondered.She heard the clanging of cups coming from the kitchen.Anyway, she needed to collect what Queen Alexia sent her.Dipping his hand into his bag, the man stretched the parcel towards her. She collected it, stuffed it into her pocket. and turned wordlessly.She shuddered as she hurrried back to the palace. She could still feel the chills.Apart from the palace drama, Stiles set out to the Blood Moon pack.He needed everything he had in his arsenal to convince Alpha Jaxon. He was hard hearted.He strategy was to persu
