Giving a gagging sound, she continues, “That sounds awful in my mouth. I will just stick to calling your disgusting name.” The owner of the voice finally stepped forward from the shadows of her… I don’t know what to call them… subordinates… maybe. It did not surprise me to see who it was. “Lady Anya.” “Please hold your greetings. Keep it to yourself. I’m not here for that, and I don’t need it.” She stopped a few feet away from me, looked me up and down as though disgusted by what she was seeing before she resumed her walk, but this time encircling us as she speaks. “By now I know you must have guessed what was going on here and who among your maids is my little birdie. At first, I thought she wouldn’t be able to carry out the task, but she proved me wrong and did it even beyond my expectation brilliantly. I mean, she did it effortlessly that she could fool you and Prince Zeid, which is a surprise for me because he hardly
I nodded in response to him and said "Yes I'm perfectly alright. You know your sister, Princess Alexa is quite right whenever she calls you a worrywart." Raising his brows at me, "Meaning..." "Meaning you worry too much. You need to learn to tone it down a little, my dear handsome mate." I said brushing imaginary dust off his shoulders. "Is that so, Mi Amore?" he grabs me by my waist and drew me closer to him till we were standing chest to chest with no gap between us. "Yes my Prince." I patted his chest aware of the attention we were drawing to ourselves. I mean we weren't the only ones there. Several werewolves were there including my guards, the ones he brought along with him, and unfortunately, lady Anya, who was looking at us with hate-filled eyes. He noticed my discomfort and released me before turning to look at Lady Anya. "Who do we have here? Lady Anya, It's a pleasure to see you gracing us with your presence onc
I walk out of the hall and made my way straight towards the direction of my mate. "Not so fast bro. I know you are worried about my sister-in-law, but Mother has requested your audience and is expecting you at the moment." I knew at this moment my wish to get to my mate's side as soon as possible was just wishful thinking. Coming to a stop I eyed him with annoyance, "Where's Mother?" Raising his hands defensively, "Hey bro, don't take it out on me, I'm just a messenger here." Feeling slightly frustrated, I pinched the middle of my eyebrows and repeated my question, "where is Mother?" "She's in her private library, and bro I..." No longer interested in what he had to say, I turned and made my way towards my mother's chamber where her private library was located. On getting there, I knocked once to make my presence known before entering the library and saw her sitting in her favorite place be
It was so sudden that it gave me a scare. I kept quiet for a while and try to listen in on my environment if I would hear them again but after waiting for some time and I heard nothing, I concluded that maybe I was the one hearing things. "Good. Let those that are around gather at the assembly hall. I will join them in a while." After a while, I heard my mate's voice again. I tried following the sound of his voice while calling out to him this time around but came to a stop when I once again heard the giggling of the pups which got me stopping in my track and tried to listen attentively to know where the voices are coming from. "Hello!!! Who is there? Is anyone there?" I called out in the direction their sounds were coming from. No one but their laughter which started fading answered me. In order not to miss their sounds, I redirected my steps towards the path their laughter was coming from and started trailing it befor
"Are you being serious right now, Alexa? is this a prank you want to pull on me?" I asked her just to be sure I heard her right."Oh come on Ash, this isn't something that I will jest about. All that I said are the result of the tests Mother carried out on you herself just so we are sure of what we are dealing with here."'If that is true Ash, then there's nothing to be worried about here.' Aura finally spoke but I wasn't sure what she was getting at here.'What do you mean Aura?''What I mean is that we will have birthed our pups before the enemy begins their attacks hopefully, depending on our fast they grow, therefore we won't have to be on bed rest by the time the war begins and we also won't have to worry much about putting their lives in danger. Besides we will be able to be of help when the war starts.'Lost in thought, I felt my mate flex his hold on my hand, drawing me out of my thoughts."Mi Amore, you don't need to be
I turned around and gave Alexa a tight hug while whispering "thank you" repeatedly to her ears. "Hehehe, alright alright Ash, don't get all emotional on me now." She patted me on the back before releasing me and taking a step back. "You look astounding naturally all I did was just to heighten your look." "Notwithstanding, thank you, Alexa." I turned towards Lyra also and said, "Thank you Lyra, I appreciate your assisting me also." "Y...your Highness" She became teary when she heard my words, "It... it's my duty, your highness." "Still, I want you to know I appreciate you." I smiled at her. nodding her head as the tears flowed down her face, "T... thank you, your highness." "Fine. Whatever pleases you. Can we go now? It's time to present yourself to everyone." Alexa drags me out of the chamber excitedly commenting on how many werewolves came to the palace just to catch a glimpse of me, even if it's from afar. I try to ca
Patting my hand that held his, he said through the mind link, “Smile Mi Amore.” He didn’t have to tell me twice before I did so. A minute later, they all came to their feet and an elderly man clothed in a formal morning dress. The Morning Dress ensemble comprises a cutaway tailcoat, striped trousers, a turndown collar shirt, a waistcoat, and a bowtie. The Morning coat is a black single-breasted coat with a single-button closure and a peaked lapel, which were beautifully decorated with golden embroidery. From his outfit and aura, you could tell that he is of noble lineage. The moment he stepped forward and my eyes locked on him, I felt strangely unsettled. There was something about him that bugs me to beware of him. To stay far away from him. When he was just a few steps away from us, I unconsciously took a step back away from him, which had him stopping in his track. A surprise a
My mate raised his free hand that wasn't holding me, at the people to indicate that they should resume their bustling. We continued our walk towards the high table that was specifically placed for the Royal family, on a high podium at the center, facing the ballroom. The Queen, Pince Brice, and surprisingly Princess Alexa were already seated there, leaving two empty seats at the center of the table, that I presume to be ours, unoccupied. I wonder how Alexa got there before us, without coming out through the way we did. But I guess that's an obvious thing to know as various entrances are leading to the ballroom. Just below the podium to the right, the Alphas and their mate sat at a table. While opposite their table, to the left of the podium, sat some fashionably dressed werewolves, that look so different from the rest of the crowd. Following these two tables, were scattered smaller ones across the room, where the rest of those
