Weston and Skye are my babies. They're so precious to me.
ISABELLEI smirked to myself. Things are going according to plan. "Princess Isabelle," a person I didn't know went over to shake my hand. It was a commoner, and she had a pathetic smile on their face. I held in the urge to grimace as I looked at her filthy hands. I gently removed my hand away from her and took a step back. "Congratulations on the engagement party, princess," she said, despite looking confused as to why I wasn't shaking her hand. "I hope the marriage between you and Alpha Enzo can bring good things to us, commoners, too."I faked a smile and merely nodded my head. I didn't want to interact with such people. Besides, the marriage is for me, not for the commoners. The night progressed, and Keilah was still nowhere in sight. I looked toward Enzo and saw him still wandering his eyes around. Unfortunately for him, Keilah's not going to come. She adores me way too much to defy my words. I knew she wouldn't dare take away what was supposed to be mine. The time for the
KEILAHI blinked my eyes open in surprise after he said those words. It feels like I'm dreaming. It felt even more like a dream when he suddenly held onto my hand and gently let me face the crowd. "I'm sure you're all wondering who this beautiful woman is," he started off. I took a sharp intake of breath as he started tracing smooth circles on the back of my hand with his thumb. "She's the love of my life."The crowd gasped, and I also felt my family's gazes burning holes in the back of my head. Yet somehow, I felt at ease. At that moment, I felt like this is what I'd been waiting for in my entire life. "And she's the woman I'm going to marry."Now that—I didn't expect that. He shifted his position suddenly, and the crowd became even noisier. He held onto my hand, and from his position, I could tell that he was kneeling. "Keilah," he said my name with such love and adoration that it made me want to cry. "I know that I may not have made the best impression, but I promise to be

I'm still not a hundred percent convinced that all of this is happening, but it is. Enzo is kissing me like his life depended on it. He confessed his love to me this night. He asked me to marry him! Heck, everything is just unbelievable. Yet everything was real. I still remember the last time he kissed me, and it felt nothing like this. Although it already felt quite good when he was kissing me without any emotions, the feeling of his kiss that was filled with love and heat overwhelmed me to the core. He was taking the lead, yet I was determined to take the lead on this one. I slid my tongue against the roof of his mouth, earning a deep groan from him. It made me feel more satisfied, so I decided to do the action once more. However, I quickly stopped when he bit onto my tong
SKYE I hummed quietly to myself as I scrubbed the dirty tiles of the maid's quarters' shared bathroom. It's been two weeks since my aunt brought me here, and although things are still not good, I guess it's better than being sold as a prostitute by my parents. My aunt, Cathy, isn't the best person on the planet, but I feel like I owe her quite a bit for bringing me away from my family. I was so preoccupied with my thoughts when I suddenly felt a cold and wet sensation on my legs. I let out a small gasp and lifted my head to look at the culprit who kicked the bucket of dirty water, letting it spill on the floor I just cleaned. "Oops," some of the maids said, chuckling as they walked away. I opened my mouth to retaliate but closed it right away when I didn't get the courage to respond. I just let out a small sigh and continued cleaning once again—all of my hard work for the past hour going down the drain. I was in the middle of cleaning when I smelled the familiar scent of
KEILAH I was afraid to turn around since I already knew who it is. The events during Isabelle and I's sixteenth birthday flashed back in my mind, and the pain came back like a bucket of cold water. "Damn," I heard him whisper. "Who brought such a pretty chick into this kingdom?" I froze in my spot as I felt him walking closer and closer to where I was. For some reason, my shoes felt like they were glued to the same spot. And although I wanted to leave, I couldn't I felt his presence right in front of me now, and I held my breath as his gaze roamed around my face and my body. "Fuck, you're really pretty," he said. He took a step forward and tucked my hair behind my ears. I instantly felt the sparks they keep talking about whenever you meet your mate. However, they didn't feel as good as people described them to be. It made me feel anxious. I didn't like it. I took a step back and wrapped my arms around my body. "I'm Miles, by the way," he said in a cocky voice. "I'm a
SKYEIt hasn't been long since I've been at the Elixir kingdom, and it's honestly already been the best days of my life. I haven't done much at all. And that in itself is already a blessing—considering I've been working like a slave my entire life. I still remember the time when I used to live with my adoptive parents. They would leave me without any food for days, yet now, I was given so much food that I could practically swim in it. "Skye," someone suddenly said, causing me to look in their direction. I pursed my lips together and wanted to run away after seeing him. There's only one problem with me living here. Him. Matthew. "You were here," he joyfully said, nudging my shoulder with his. I let out a small gasp as I felt the warmth of his body. It didn't feel like the sparks you would feel with your mate, but it still felt really good. He looked at me with a concerned look on his face. "Sorry," he apologized. "Did I do it too hard?"I quickly shook my head and gave him
KEILAH He greeted me with silence. If I recall, Enzo and I are the same age, so it wouldn't be that strange to find out that he had already met his mate. "Have you?" I repeated, growing more and more curious since he wasn't answering the question. He cleared his throat but still did not answer my question. Just then, his phone rang, and he quickly answered it. "Matthew," he said through the phone. "Yeah, I'm coming." He hummed and groaned in annoyance before speaking once more. "I know. I'll be down in a bit." He turned off the phone and gently squeezed my hand. "I need to head out for a bit, okay? We're going hunting later in the afternoon, so I have to be there for the preparations." I frowned since he still did not answer my question but eventually nodded my head. He held onto my nape and gently brought me closer to him to place a kiss on my forehead. "I'll be back in the evening. You can hang out with Skye while I'm away, okay? And Weston and Marilyn are also just down
ENZO Matthew and I shifted back into our human forms and quickly got dressed in some shorts. We looked at the meat that we hunted and frowned when I noticed the small quantity. "Don't you think this looks lesser than what we usually hunt?" he asked with a frown on his face. "It's definitely lesser," I agreed. "This isn't even half of the meat that we hunted for the past few months. This is barely enough to feed everyone in the castle. Not to mention, we also have to dispatch some to the commoner’s grounds.” "Hmm," Matthew hummed. "What's going to happen now?" I sighed and massaged the bridge of my nose. "I'll just buy some from the next kingdoms, but this shouldn't go on for a long time. We need to find the reason why our resources are currently depleting. We can't starve our people." "You're right," he said. "This only started after you came back from the Belmont kingdom. Do you think they have something to do with this?" he asked. I clicked my tongue and eventually shook my
