{ Cain }Now that Georgie is living with us again, preparing the proposal is proving to be much more complicated than we had planned when she was still living in the palace. But even so, I prefer to have her sleep in my arms every night, even if we have to lie to her in the mornings. Sometimes.For example, today. We had to tell her we would be spending the day in Fox, but we actually only spent a few hours and then we came to pick up the ring we had made just for her.… along with some extra items to make the proposal cheesier than cheese. So now we’re basically all ready to propose to our mate, but of course, Asheron is making everything difficult.“No, that’s a bad idea,” he says, to the third idea I put on the table. “Trust me, Pul. My idea is way better… we just have to wait until the main house is demolished, then we’ll take her to the site and do it there. In the grounds of our future palace.” “Huh?” I ask, slowing down my walking to look at him before we reach his car in the
The next day, I am finally allowed to meet my own pack. It’s been a long time since I felt nervous about speaking in front of a lot of people, but I’ve never had to speak in front of people who are rebelling and who hate us, so I’m not the calmest I’ve ever been. I worry more than usual about my appearance and once I’m happy with my matching tweed set and perfectly straight hair, we start our journey to Fox.Cain and Asheron look just as nervous as I am, so I’m expecting to see a disaster when we arrive at Fox. I hate having this kind of prejudice, but packs outside the council don’t have the money to improve as much as they could, so they are usually… ugly. So I’m one hundred percent expecting to see a the pack in shambles when we enter the territory, but it’s actually not bad.It’s not bad at all.First, the territory is set in a vast forest and the first thing I see when we arrive is green, big, beautiful living trees, so I’m already in love with this place. But then, I see clean
{Georgette}When I first receive the news about my fated mate’s death, my brain doesn't seem to process the information correctly. I know that because the first thing I do is smile politely."Okay," I reply without letting my smile fade. My father approaches me and I allow him to hug my shoulders, but my brain is still working a million miles per second trying to understand, "W-what happened?""Asheron was at the front of the fight with the Sebdio Pack," the representative informs me, his voice pained and his eyes sad, just like his scent, "He died in battle."Asheron died.Asheron, the Alpha of the Blues pack, my fated mate, is dead. He died in battle, even though one day he promised me that would never, ever happen. I should have known he had no way of promising me something like that, but I was too young and foolish.I believed him."Thank you very much for coming to the palace to deliver the bad news, Aaron," my father responds, "Please convey our sincerest condolences to the Blu
"I'm dying to see you!" I shout at my computer, unable to hide my excitement, "I know this isn't what you wanted and we're both really mad at Justin, but I'm so happy he did what he did because that means I finally get to see you.""Oh, don't even fucking mention him right now," Cain growls and I can see him lowering his phone as he starts to climb onto his jet. I wait a few seconds until he's settled and then I can see his beautiful face on the screen again. So, so beautiful, "But I'm also really happy, Georgie. I've missed you so fucking much. And I'm going to need all your help figuring out how the hell to become a damn prince.""Well, first rule: no swearing," I scold him playfully, and he rolls his eyes dramatically, falling back into his seat, "You'll get used to it, like me. Even though it fucking sucks.""Well, at least I know I won’t be bored, as long as you're with me," he says with a warm smile as he looks at me, "The jet is about to take off, Princess. I'll call you as soo
"Wait, you two..." Queen Jana comes closer to us and closes her eyes for a second. She has always been a bit of a witch just like her twin sister, "I can feel a bond. But you two...""Alright, I think this is something we need to discuss in private. King Eugene? Please, come with us," King Erik says to my father. My dad comes up behind me immediately, helping me walk to god knows where while my wolf keeps claiming that Cain is hers. Just like Asheron was hers. ‘But what does that fucking mean, you crazy wolf?!’ I yell at her inside my mind. She’s just repeating the same thing. Once I’m in a room with just Cain, his parents and my father, I can finally blink and think a little clearer. Cain seems to wake up from his trance too and he shakes his head."Why do I feel like... like Georgie is... mine? My wolf says she's my mate," he says, his scared eyes rising to my father and his. Everyone looks at him as if it's obvious, "But she already has a mate. Asheron. Hello? What am I missing h
“But... but..." Georgie shakes her head, her eyes filling with frustrated tears. By the way, she hasn't looked at me yet, "I am NOT ready for something like this. I haven't gotten over Ash yet, I don't want someone else."Ohhhkay. Noted. "I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Georgette, but life moves on,” my aunt says, lifting a hand to stroke Georgie’s face, “You are destined for happiness. The Moon Goddess wants you to be loved, you deserve it. And Cain's wolf will love you with all his might… He has loved you for a while now, actually.”Huh? "What does that mean?" I ask, frowning in annoyance and embarrassment. Why is she airing my business like that?"Your wolf loved her already, Cain. It's really straightforward, actually," she says with an eye roll, making me feel even more embarrassed because she’s right, "I know this must be confusing for both of you, but it's just life. You two can talk it out later, okay?”“Yes. Later. There's a hundred people waiting outside," my mom says, loo
I told my parents I would marry her someday and I begged my brother to teach me how to make her fall in love with me. Justin told me: 'she's already there, bro'. And I fucking believed him. I was about to make my move and have my first kiss with her... but then it all went to shit one day when the Blues pack showed up to our ball. My aunt Julia was standing with us when Alpha Asheron came to say hello. Then she shattered my little heart. "Wait, I feel something," she said, making everyone stop everything they were doing. She grabbed Alpha Asheron and Georgie's hands and did her witch thing for a few seconds, "There is a bond here. A fated mates bond."The whole room gasped in shock, but I don't think anyone felt as shocked as me. I started to shake my head in disbelief. Justin walked to us, his worried eyes directly on me."That's impossible. Georgie is only fifteen," I said, trying to grab her arm and pull her away from Asheron, but his heavy eyes fell on me with a warning on the
{ Georgette }This little shit.I hold his rebellious brown eyes for what seems like three years. He's drunk and angry at me, and why? Because I don't want to jump into another relationship after being with Asheron for five years? He should be a lot more understanding than this. "Cain, take it back," Queen Jana growls at him, sounding exactly like she did when we were kids and Cain did something wrong."No. I want the bond broken. And Georgette wants that, too," he says, pointing directly at me. Literally, he lifts his hand and points like a kid, "She wants it gone. Don't you, Georgette?"I don't think he has ever called me Georgette. Not even once."You do not speak for me, Cain. Fuck you," I spit out, my dad lifts his eyebrows in surprise."No, fuck you!" he shouts back, making me gasp in shock along with everyone else, "Fuck all of you! I'm moving back to New York. I don't want to deal with any of this."Oh, my god. I cover my face and take a deep breath. He's having a nervous bre
