PHOENIX “Come on,” I stare at Prince Zanders with an eyebrow raised and he rolls his eyes. “What? I’m not going to kidnap you.” He pauses then chuckles. “Or did the mighty prince forbid you from hanging out with me?” my brows furrow and I immediately shake my head. I wouldn’t say prince Ezra forbade me from seeing his brother, he said he didn’t like me hanging out with him which is an entirely different thing. But is it really hanging out if no one sees? I shake that thought off and tell myself I’m acting suspicious, and this is akin to sneaking around. Wait, I don’t even owe the prince loyalty. He is engaged to be married and I have removed my hands from anything men till further notice. My wolf snickers in my head. She has been a little more active than usual, a little different than what I was used to. Not to mention, Prince Zanders also seems very comfortable leaning against the wall. Like this, he doesn’t seem like the prince or anything. Just any other guy. “I thought you

PHOENIXIt has been five days since the incident, that is what I’m choosing to call it, and things with Prince Ezra have been stiff to say the least. I couldn’t tell him about wanting my post to be changed, something told me it wouldn’t be the best time to go into a discussion like that. I was happy about it for one thing at least, since we rarely spoke to each other now, he never brought the kiss up and I just went on to pretend it never happened. So really, for that one thing, it was like a win-win situation for me.I got to know that he has a personal secretary who runs his schedule by him. I haven’t been late for the past few days, also a good thing so I haven’t had to see all of lady Gloria, unless it was absolutely necessary, she stayed off my back. Even for things I know she would have chastised me for before. That got me thinking maybe he spoke to her but I quickly got rid of those thoughts. It wouldn’t do me any good.“This is the prince’s lunch list.” I look up when I hear t

PHOENIX“I’m sorry,” I stare at prince ezra, wondering what that was for. He runs a hand through his dark hair and huffs out a breath. “About the other day, I didn’t mean to scare you like that.” he looks like he is struggling, with what? I can’t tell. “I…I don’t usually lose control, it is…I,” he shakes his head, probably deciding to change his mind about what he wanted to stay at first. “It is complicated. Just know that I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.”“Oh, you don’t have to apologize.” I don’t think the lycan Prince is supposed to apologize to his private maid. Though I don’t think he should stand with her too and make conversation but we’ve been doing that. I guess we should draw the line somewhere, this is what it is about.“No, I need to,” he shakes his head. My heart does something I don’t understand but I feel the need to make him feel better, I don’t like the expression on his face, he looks so much better when he is smiling, not when he looks trapped like this.“I made yo

EZRA   The past few days have been heaven and the only thing that can make it better is Phoenix’s wolf recognizing me as her mate. I’m not expecting it to happen so soon but I’m still a little disappointed when it doesn’t happen. It is complicated, I know. With how my days have been going, I actually do not want to rush everything.  The process of canceling the fated Banquet is underway and I’ve been more actively involved in the politics aspect of the kingdom than I usually am. That was mostly my father’s job, and quite honestly, I would say, I don’t really like it. I don’t hate it either. I love working toward making sure

PHOENIXEveryone is working, I don’t even know the right words to use to describe the scene in the palace right now but I guess chaotic will do quite well. I never thought I would be so glad to be walking up and down the stairs carrying a lot of things for decorations. The ball room has been transformed into something magical and I can’t even deny it, it looks great as hell.“It needs a little more white,” someone said from beside me. I grumble under my breath and move to the other side of the pillar to rest my back. Just because I’m glad being kept busy has kept my thoughts away doesn’t mean I’m particularly happy to be working.I’m staring at nothing in particular when a hand grabs my arm, I look up sharply, a little scared and meet the bright colored eyes. I move back, blinking a few times while I try to pin a name to the face staring back at me.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” The girl who couldn’t be older than me said. I nod and gently pull my arm back then rub it, she grab
