When they came to the end of a broad hallway with bright lighting, Xandar started with the first portrait. Unlike what Lucianne and everyone else learned in school, the Lycan in this first portrait was actually more influential than the King at that time.
Xandar explained that the plump woman with auburn curls in the picture was the late King’s sister, who has offered the King back then loads of ideas on how to detect if foreign species, such as vampires or human hunters enter their territories. In school, credit for such revolutionary ideas were given to the King, not his sister. She wasn’t even his second-in-command because of the sexist laws which forbade such an appointment at that time.
The second one was a man with a thick moustache and beard, and his eyes, to Lucianne’s surprise, were painted onyx. Xand
Rosalie and Prince Reagan's story...what do you think? Loved it? Drop a few Gems! Rather the history be different? Let me know by commenting :)
Xandar looked at the ground in guilt for a moment before meeting his mate’s black orbs as he said, “Because they hid it, Lucy. The Claws hid it. They shared a good relationship with Reagan’s parents, so they ordered historians to write Rosalie off completely. The first Claw King…used his Authority to compel them to do it. With his Authority, he compelled the rest of the Kingdom to never speak about Rosalie ever again.” “Portraits and any written work documenting her life story was burnt. The only reason a part of her has been successfully incorporated into a school idiom was because linguists were clever enough to work their way around the King’s Authority and subtly…inserted her and Reagan into something that lived on, transcending lifetimes and generations.” “But if everything about her is gone, how is it that this portrait exi
When they were having dinner at a restaurant, Lucianne’s phone was suddenly bombarded with ‘breaking news’. Xandar was going to ask if everything was okay until his own phone started buzzing like his mate’s just did.Xandar reached for her hand and held it tight as he read the first headline: Ministers’ Lawyers DENIES the Validity of Corruption Charges.After tapping into it, the short article read: In a hearing of the charges against the ministers, the presiding judge concluded that, due to the very conflicting version of events given by the prosecution and the defence, the matter should proceed with trial for a detailed examination of evidence. Evidence had been exchanged between the parties as part of due process.The defence, upo
Lucianne woke up a few minutes before her 4 a.m. alarm with Xandar’s arm circled loosely around her abdomen. Very carefully, she pulled her shirt up her chest and over her head, trying not to alert her mate when she did it. After that, she slowly slipped off her shorts, and all that was left to do was to wait for her alarm to ring. When it did, her body stretched over to the nightstand as usual, and Xandar’s hand on her abdomen tugged her back into bed like it always did. On a usual morning, if his hand made contact with her bare skin, it would instinctively rise up her body a little to find the hem of her shirt before pulling it back down to cover her abdomen. This morning, however, when his hand tried looking for the hem, he ended up feeling Lucianne’s bare breast instead. He took a sharp breath to wake up, and Lucianne turned
Lucianne moved closer to Xandar, and with her doe-eyes, she asked in a shy whisper, “Can we do it again?” The concern in Xandar’s eyes vanished, replaced by a flirtatious, cocky smirk. Just as he was about to turn Lucianne for her back to face the bed, she turned him instead. And her small body lay on his as she kissed him deeply on his lips. His arms roamed her body, trailing down her small back and spending time squeezing her booty as she pecked kisses on his face, neck and his rising-and-falling chest. The area between her buttocks started teasing his hardened tool, moving up and down the erected length before she nuzzled his chin and moved to his lips. Xandar pecked a light kiss on her nose before he cupped her cheek and whispered, “I want you, Lucy. I need you. Please.”
Xandar and Lucianne reached Xandar’s villa fifteen minutes before the others were bound to arrive to get Xandar’s home office ready for the meeting. They pulled out a whiteboard on a roller stand from the small supply room in the office. After locking the rollers when the board was right in front of the round table where they were going to sit for the meeting, Lucianne uncapped a black marker before starting to scribble points to note on the rogue situation. Xandar didn’t even look at the board. His eyes twinkled with love and admiration for his remarkable mate as he leaned against the meeting table. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CUZ!” Christian exclaimed as the Duke barged in with an excited smile with his Duchess. After exchanging hugs, Christian took out a long black box w
With Lucianne’s check-up after the infertility poison, the false sexual harassment allegations and the need to fill up the ministrial positions, Xandar had completely forgot to tell Christian about how he couldn’t emit the King’s Authority back in Forest Gloom.Lucianne gave his hand a gentle squeeze to encourage him as he began, “For some reason, when we stood face-to-face with the rogues the other night, I couldn’t…channel the Authority onto them. It felt like there was a block.”Zeke then muttered, “That means it’s like if we try to use the Alpha Authority on non-pack members. There’d be a block.”Christian asked in dismay, “How is that even possible? The King’s Authority works on all werewolve
The Duke suggested, “I’ll mind-link Annie, and we’ll see if you can find your way in.”Lucianne seemed uncomfortable when she asked the Duke and Duchess, “Are you sure?”Annie scoffed as she said, “Lucy, what’s there to be unsure about? You’ve only ever looked out for us. We’ll give it a go if you want to.”Lucianne still felt it to be wrong as she took a breath and muttered a reluctant ‘okay’. Their eyes started to glaze over, and Lucianne tried her best to enter their link. After a whole minute of failed attempts, she gave up. Everyone was a little disappointed but they couldn’t blame Lucianne for not being able to do it. She could already do more than every single one of them.
The King was touched. His late parents would throw an unnecessary birthday party where he had to mingle with people he didn’t even want to meet, let alone speak to. And when he reached a marital age, his mother had the annoying habit of introducing him to every eligible and ‘acceptable’ bachelorette at these parties. When his parents both passed, Xandar immediately did away with the parties, and celebrated it with Christian and Annie instead. Although it was a much smaller celebration compared to what his parents did for him, he preferred spending the day with the people he loved and was close to as opposed to guests he had to constantly watch his tongue, attitude and temper around. Lucianne wanted to help the wolves set up the food but everyone just pushed her away, asking her to ‘sit and wait’ while the rest of them did i
