Prescott’s POV“In five days. Eruba.” I read out the bloodied letter once again, the content of the letter was insignificant but the name inscribed on it made my stomach churn. I felt my bones snapping, my heart was racing as I glanced around the foyer. Searching for the shadowy figure.It was certain, that the figure I saw was a rogue, rogues were there in the Villa. They were nearer than I had thought.“Rogues are in the Villa! Rogues are here! My people are in danger!” I howled angrily, my head spun around, checking for whoever threw the paper but I couldn't see anyone.Even if I didn't catch a glimpse of the intruder, one thing I knew was, someone was there with me. Someone was there, I could feel the presence. No scent was detected in the air, but I could feel that eerie feeling.With a lightning-fast movement, I snapped my head and saw a shadowy figure darting through the darkness at the opposite artery. My senses heightened, and I sped after the figure with my claws outstretche
Nova’s POV “Hey, I need to check out something outside. Please hold on for me, and please, let's do this again when I come back. Save the last dance for me.” Prescott smiled, his sparkling white set of teeth shining brightly under the lightbulb. I nodded my head, taking a step backwards as he made his way out of the dance floor. I smiled to myself, feeling proud the man of the nation was mine; my husband and my mate.I turned on my heels, looking back at the crowd on the dance floor. Couples were twirling around each other, their faces alight with joy. Their happiness was infectious, a warmth spreading through my chest as I watched them dance with some much joy on their faces. As I left the dance floor, I scanned the crowd for my parents, my gaze darting from one face to the next. I was so focused on finding them that I didn't see the person in front of me until it was too late. I bumped into them, crashing into their chest and stumbling back. They reached out to steady me, their h
Rezso’s POV A grin spread across my face as I stood by the door, a wine bottle in hand, waiting for Dixon to arrive from the banquet hall. The anticipation of his arrival was making me go giddy, like a kid waiting for his mother's return.Dixon had asked for us to meet in his apartment on the night of the banquet, I left the banquet hall earlier to compose myself and perhaps prepare myself while waiting for him. I did not know what he had planned for us, but whatever it was, I trusted Dixon with everything in me, and I was surely ready to do anything with him.“Oh,” I breathed out, rubbing my cold palm against the bottle of wine in my hand. I was surely feeling nervous but the excitement of being with Dixon overpowered the nervousness I was feeling.“I can't wait to see the look on his face when he saw me.” My heart was racing, and I could feel the warmth of the smile spreading across my cheeks. Just then, the sound of a pair of boots, hitting hard against the marble floor, followed
Prescott’s POV “She'll be fine, the Queen will be fine.” Wharton groaned, a note of frustration in his voice. “Just stop pacing back and forth and sit down so we can figure things out.” His tone was irked, but I could see the pain etched on his face as he pressed his hand to his wound. It was clear that he was trying to comfort me, but it was difficult for him to maintain his stillness. I felt bad for being the soul behind his wound, but my wife matters most.“Prescott, please… She'll be fine.” Wharton groaned out for the umpteen times as I continued pacing back and forth.My fingers curled into a tight fist upon hearing that. I scoffed, marching towards Wharton who was sitting quietly on the couch in my office with his palm on his chest.I leaned forward, my gaze burning into his eyes. I grabbed the edge of the couch he was sitting on, caging him in between my arms.“She’ll be fine, you say?” I scoffed, my mind was running wild as I stared at the confused look on my Beta’s face.He
Prescott’s PovWe all gathered around the large table in my office. I leaned forward, resting my hands on the table, with my fingers intertwined. Taking a deep breath, I began to explain what had happened to the Queen, and the issue with the rogue. I didn't expect them to be upset, but I was surprised by Aunt Velvena's reaction. Her eyes widened in shock upon hearing what had been happening, and she adjusted in her seat, her hand going to her mouth. “You can't be serious,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.“I fear the matter at hand won't permit me to joke around, don't you think?” I heaved a sigh, grabbing my head in both palms.Aunt Velvena's reaction was swift and intense. She shot up from her seat, her palm pressed to her chest as if she could feel her heart pounding against her hand. “You mean to tell me that all of this has been going on, and no one bothered to tell me?” Her voice was sharp, her eyes flashing with anger as she shot me a deadly glare. “I'm practically like
Nova's POV A sudden splash of cold water jolted me out of my stupor, and I let out a gasp of surprise. The water dripped down my chin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. I was dazed, my brain struggling to process what had just happened. Where had the water come from? And who had thrown it at me?“Hmph,” I grunted as the icy cold water splashed against my face for the second time. I was confused and disoriented, unsure of where the water had come from.I dragged my eyes open but I couldn't see a thing, it was so dark in the room that I couldn't catch a glimpse of where I was.“Shayna?” I tried calling out to my maid, but I couldn't hear a reply from a soul, other than my voice that echoed through the dark room.“Oh,” I gasped in surprise when I felt my butt sting and I tried getting up from whatever I was sitting on, but I couldn't stand up to my feet because it seemed like I had been tied to the seat.“What is the meaning of this?” I cried out, struggling to break free from t
Prescott’s POV“Piece by piece; that's how I'll send her to you,”My eyes went wide and my breath caught in my throat as I read the words on the paper. I could feel my heart racing as I grasped the bottle in my trembling hands. With shaking fingers, I slowly unscrewed the lid and held my breath as I peered inside.I felt a knot of dread forming in my stomach as I saw what was inside the bottle. I held the bottle in my palm, my hands were trembling and I feared the bottle might end up slipping out of my hand as I stared into the bottle with my marring with tears.“What is it? What is there in the bottle?” they all asked, their faces filled with confusion and curiosity. They stood in a huddle, their eyes fixed on me as they waited for an explanation. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words got stuck in my throat. My mind was racing, trying to make sense of what I had found.“Is that not… A toe?” Wharton gasped behind me, I gasped, throwing the bottle on the table, moving back a bit wi
Rezso’s POV I was walking in the garden, I had just gotten out of duty and I decided to take a walk in the garden where everything seemed to be at peace.Watching the morning breeze hit gently against the flowers, making petals fall to the grassy floor, causing the garden to be filled with different scents of the flowers.I smiled when a particular scent hit my nostrils, reminding me of her Highness, the Queen. I moved my nose, sniffing in the floral scents that smelled like Her Highness.A smile tugged at my lips, remembering my first time with her, right in the garden. How she smiled brightly even though her mind seemed to be bothered.“She’s such an amazing person, smiling when her world seemed to be crumbling down at her feet.” I chuckled, my cheeks heated up as I smiled at the thought of the Queen in my head.“Why am I even blushing?” I whined, my palms going to my cheeks as I tried to wipe out whatever reddish stuff that must have found its way to my cheeks.It was true that I
