Liam's POVI tucked Aurelia in bed and sat by her side for a few minutes. I stared at her as she slept peacefully. She sighed in her sleep and moved closer towards me.I smiled and touched her hair, enjoying how her face lifted with a content smile. She looked satisfied and worn out at the same time.After a while, I got up and started to head out. I stepped out into the night and saw the female warrior that was part of the trio that saved Aurelia. As soon as our eyes met, she lowered her head."Your Highness," she greeted."Mira, was it?" I asked, unsure of her name."Yes, your Highness," she retorted, her eyes looking everywhere but me."Guard her. You're not to report to me. You're simply to protect her from any threat you sniff around her," I ordered. "The other two," I trailed off, thinking for a while."They are good warriors, your Highness. They would do anything to protect Miss Aurelia. They care for her but they know their boundaries." I wasn't the least pleased by her words
Aurelia's POV"Really?" I stared at them in shock. "All three of you?"Mira nodded, "He told me last night after dropping you in your room.""B-But he said,'' I trailed off and decided to drop it. I didn't know what the king was thinking but it was clear that he finally trusted me. "I suppose you're not keeping tabs on me?" I tried, hoping to not be disappointed."Tabs on you?" Hunter scoffed. "His highness gave us one order: to eliminate anything that smells like a threat around you."I sighed in relief and breathed in the wonderful smell of freedom even as only the sweet smell of pancakes filled my nose as that was what I was having for breakfast. I was in the dining room alone with my personal bodyguards and two maids standing at a distance. My thoughts were purely occupied with Liam and I blushed when I thought of yesterday.Our love making was passionate again and I couldn't get it out of my head."Ahem!'' Carlos cleared his throat and I lifted my head, staring at all three of th
Aurelia's POV"That bitch!" Mira grounded on her teeth with anger.Hunter turned to face me with his cheek red, bleeding a little and a smile on his lips, "Don't look at me like that."I blinked at the tears that I didn't know had rolled down my cheeks and I wiped them away quickly."Are we allowed to kill anyone that makes her cry too?" Hunter turned to Mira who shook her head."Ah man! I look forward to tearing off that Bitch's head!" Carlos groaned."I'm sorry, it's all my fault-""You can't be responsible for other people's terrible attitude, now can you?" Besides, I'm fine. You're more important." He grinned."Your nose is red, Aurelia. Sorry for the delay, we'll get some ice."We returned to my room and Mira left with Carlos to get some ice. Hunter stood beside my door with his eyes staring into the distance.The blood had stopped and the injury had closed. That was a relief."That woman," Hunter glanced at me. "Emma, is she a friend of yours?"I nodded, "She is. I'm sorry. She'
Aurelia's POVI spent the rest of the day with my friends. It felt really good to address them like that. We spoke at length about whatever came to mind and I found myself smiling much more than I would on a normal day. My chest area felt free and light like I had just offloaded a year's worth of responsibility and problems.The revelation of Emma's attitude was behind me and I tried not to think of how much she had taken advantage of my kindness and used me-- all for what? To make me fall on the wrath of Liam. It was still hard to believe that she would go that far.It was hard not to try to tie my kidnapping to her but somehow, I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. No one was allowed to be that evil. No one.I exhaled as I sat on my bed. It was evening already and my friends were outside, guarding me from whatever danger that lurked. Mira would be taking the first watch while Hunter and Carlos would take turns.Liam was busy all day so I couldn't get to see him. I had a
Liam's POV"The border after Purple Sun City is bubbly with lots of activities these days, your highness," Elder Thelma drew my attention to her. She was with her cup of tea so early in the morning.Sometimes, I wondered if my elders don't get tired of morning meetings. I had a mate to go back to but here I was, trying my hardest to remaining calm and composed like I had all the time in the world."I hear their Alpha has a bone to pick with that other thing that keeps buzzing everywhere," Elder Lucas chipped in."Norton, you mean?" Elder Thelma helped and he nodded. She sighed, "Ay ay, why are the young ones of this generation always making trouble? It's a good thing our King is more matured and cannot even be compared in the same sentence with those things.""Adrian, I hear that's his name, should be of age to have a Luna. Maybe he'll just end up picking whatever comes to mind," Elder Elfreda spoke.Morning meetings usually went like this. They would gossip and have me sit through it
Liam's POVI stared at Emma with a blank expression on my face while hers looked at me with expectations, desperation as the tears continued to pour. She sniffed and rubbed her face on her arm."I know you don't feel the same way," she said after a while when she figured I wasn't going to respond to her. "I know that and I can't deceive myself but," she took a step forward. "Aurelia is not ready to be queen. She can never do it the way I would-""She'll do it differently," I replied out of impulse. "She'll do it in her own way.""I don't think you understand, your Highness," she tried again. "You cannot force her to love the City. I love the City and would do anything to protect it-""She risked her life to save warriors that were competing in the sacred woods. A woman as kind hearted as that- ready to even sacrifice her own life for people she barely knows- does not need to grow into loving something," I defended. "She sees the need to protect everything. That is a woman worthy to be
Emma's POV"You have such a lovely girl, Louise," the queen praised with a smile as she stared at me hiding behind my mother with my doll in my hand. She was a beautiful woman with long dark hair touching her waist. Her smile was lazy and tired and her eyes looked like she could use some sleep.That was the first time I met the queen. I had escorted my mother to the Castle for the first time in my life. I ended up wandering away from their presence as they talked and laughed about things I didn't understand.I looked over the Castle with wide eyes, marvelling at everything I saw. I had never been to a place this beautiful and sparkly before. I noticed a door was open and I slipped through it. The room was twice as wide as the queens and there was a nice scent that lingered.There was a boy sitting on a chair with his back turned to me. He was in dark blue robes. The colour matched his dark hair and the nape of his neck was so fair. I didn't know how long I stared at the beautiful sigh
Aurelia's POV"You are going to be queen!" Mira squealed so much that I winced with my hands over my ears. My cheeks hurt as I had been smiling so much. Who knew Mira could produce this much excitement?"Congratulations to you both," Hunter gave a thumbs up. "You'll do fine as queen."I wasn't so certain about that. In fact, I wasn't sure at all. I knew nothing about being queen. But Hunter assured me that the King would take care of it. I knew that. I could totally rely on Liam.I had been so uncomfortable under their stare. They placed so much expectations of me in their eyes that I feared jumping down from it to my own trust in myself, would break my back. I didn't want to let them down but I also didn't want to feel too pressured."You two are a perfect couple," Renee chipped in. She had come along to serve me lunch when she heard the news. Her eyes were wide with excitement as everyone was caught in the jubilating spirit."You're the ice to the Lycan King's fierceness," she said
