"Which deal?"Sophia asked with creased eyebrows.It was silent for a brief moment in the flower garden, Ace pressed his lips into a thin line and a heavy sigh escaped his lips."What about we fight for our mates?"Her eyes widened when the words escaped the Prince's lips. She couldn't believe what she had just heard."How is that even possible?"A deep frown settled on her features as she asked the question.Ace couldn't blame her because he knew all her hopes crashed into tiny pieces the day she was caught escaping Greenwood kingdom and her partner got locked in the dungeon."We need to pretend that we have agreed to get married."Ace paused and ran his finger through his jet hair.The idea didn't make any sense to Ace because he hated anyone who pretended. However, the table turned because he was the one who was pretending now."Pretending to be engaged will buy us time to prepare everything without rushing."Ace waved his hand in the air as he tried to explain everything to her.Sophia

Standing on the balcony with a faraway look,Ace closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh. It was not easy for the Lycan prince to explain everything to Monalisa.Compared to Ales's aunt, Lisa was so stubborn to understand the simple explanation that he gave. Ace knew she was doing it on purpose, to punish him for whatever he had done.Since he had promised himself not to give up that easily. Ace explained the same thing over and over again so that it could get into her thick skull.For the first time in his entire life, he was patient with whatever he was doing. Normally, Ace couldn't let himself repeat whatever he had said more than twice, Alexander and his men knew it better.Talking about Alexander, he laughed at the Lycan prince each time he called him and grumbled in frustration.Alexander explained to Ace that he needed to be patient if he wanted to get back together with his mate.Ace can't have it his way like so many times that he has had almost everything his way because he's

Birds sang melodiously as they welcomed the new day. The orange sun rays shone on plants as the sun rose from the east. The air was fresh and the day was very promising.Outside the old mansion at the door, stood a man. His pitch-black hair was a mess and there were dark circles under hid eyes caused by lack of enough sleep for weeks.He sucked in the cold breeze and exhaled heavily to calm his nerves. He had been standing at the door for almost ten minutes now because his hand was heavy like lead.He didn't have the strength to raise it and knock on the door."Damn it!"Ace closed his eyes in frustration and cursed under his breath for the tenth time. He couldn't believe that it was too hard for him to knock on the wooden door as he had thought.Raking his already messy hair in frustration,he held his breath and knocked on the wooden door and waited patiently for a response from inside.The door clicked open and an old lady materialised from behind the door.Grandma looked at the Lyc

The Lycan prince hid behind the white pillar almost immediately when he saw his mate turn around to stare at the balcony.He was glad that Alessandra was able to sense his presence. It meant that the mark bond was so strong.The corner of his lips curved into a smile when the idea crossed his mind."Let's go to our mate."Liam groaned as he tried his best to break free so that he could run to Alessandra as fast as possible."Calm down boy."Ace said and a sigh escaped his lips. He hated the fact that he hid from his mate just to make sure that she didn't see him.What annoyed him the most was the man who was around Alessandra. From his little knowledge of observing people's behaviour.Ace could tell that they were really good friends and he didn't like the idea of anyone being any close to her.He heaved a frustrated sigh and walked away from the balcony. He descended the grand staircase with a faraway look.A deep frown settled on the old lady's face when she saw the man's dark face. S

On the old mansion's balcony,stood a man with a faraway face. His hands were dipped in his pocket and he leaned on the cold concrete pillar for support.It seemed like the whole world had lost meaning to him, leaving him with no choice but to drown in sorrow.Grandma looked at the young man with a sad face when she walked to the balcony."Unable to sleep?"She asked with slightly raised eyebrows.She had just came from Alessandra's room after she was sure that the poor was soundly asleep.The Lycan prince heaved a slow sigh and turned around,a lame smile on his lips. He wished he could sleep silently when he left his mate's room.But how could he do so when all he saw was her mate's terrified face whenever he closed his eyes."Yes, it's hard for me to close my eyes and and sleep soundly after what happened."He admitted with a small nod."It has always been that way."The old lady paused and inhaled sharply. It was silent for a brief moment on the balcony.A deep frown settled on the Pri
