Aurelia's POVMy ears perked up at that and I gave her my full attention. Emma didn't seem to be lying and that sparked something in my heart. She whispered the directions in my ears and when she was done, she began to walk away."Well then, I'll be on my way. His majesty must be in a really bad mood. Only you can stop it, Aurelia," Emma waved at me as she walked away and soon she disappeared from sight.Bad mood? I knew it. I had only seen his back today but the way he hastened in his steps with Andre and Emma behind him wearing serious faces, I could tell that something was up.Quickly, I made my way to him with the directions she gave and it led me to a hallway I had never entered before. I could hear voices and it became louder and louder with each step I took."Your Highness please calm down," I could make out Andre's voice and it was filled with so much fright that caused my legs to tremble but I didn't stop walking.The next thing I heard was the sound of things crashing onto t

Liam's POV "I could still call the healers to check on you, your Highness," Emma tore through my thoughts with those words and I frowned at her. I had been in such a beautiful place in my head; one where my mate was in my arms and her eyes were filled with desire for me. "Do I look less than fine?" I asked her as we walked in my City under the warm afternoon. Every now and then, the pack members and shop owners would bow their heads in greeting when they held my gaze. I had decided to take a stroll around the market today. Behind me were my guards and maids while Emma walked beside me. "No, your Highness. But then again, you could be in pain and no one would know," she sounded worried and a tad mad. "What happened yesterday, your Highness? Andre wouldn't tell me anything-" "That's good then," I sighed and looked around and I stopped when something caught my attention. I squinted my eyes at the accessories displayed and from the corner of my eyes, I noticed the shop owner jerked i

Aurelia's POVI glanced at the hairpin and different thoughts raced through my mind. What sort of privilege had he given me? I was yet to hear his name from Andre and Emma. Or did they only speak his real name when they were alone?I didn't know why I was desperately trying to feel less special by what seemed like the King's foreign and novel kindness towards me. I didn't want to bear these special feelings in my heart only to be let down later.I stayed that way for a while, pondering on the king's actions and soon I fell asleep. I awoke to a knock on the door later that evening and was informed by one of the guards by my door that the King had invited me to dinner."What time is it?"I glanced at the wall clock and almost passed out. I was ten minutes late already.I hurried out of bed and into the bathroom to freshen up in under five minutes. I grabbed my hairpin from my dresser and placed it on the right side of my hair, pulling it up.I dashed out of my room and the guards walke

Aurelia's POVHis words fell on my shoulders causing them to drop heavily. It took a lot of willpower for me to get back on my feet but I couldn't hold back the tears that dropped."She was sent away from the pack when Norton realised that he wasn't the only one she was seeing," the spy continued in such a strong and bold voice that held so much conviction.How could anyone lie with their hearts this much? If I didn't know myself so much, I would've believed his words. The conviction in his voice almost had me fooled."She had also been sleeping with other men, your Highness."I backed up against the wall as his words kept pouring and pouring. I fisted my shirt as I wanted nothing more than to step out and defend myself. I had never been with Norton in that way much less any man but here I stood, defenceless as I had to listen to my reputation get dragged in the mud and gutters.My mate's silence was louder in my ears and deep down, I waited for his reaction. He was definitely buying

Liam's POVI gripped the papers hard as I read the words with speed in my mind. My legs bounced under the table with impatience and my butt wanted nothing more than to jump out of this chair.I missed her hair scattered on my chest every morning and how she sighed in her sleep with a smile crossing her lips."How many more are left?" I looked over my desk and felt my blood boil at the tons of work to review and approve."C-Calm down, your Highness. You only just got here," Emma replied with an alarming tone.I didn't want to believe her but she was right. I've only sat here for twenty minutes yet it felt like two hours had passed.Being away from her made the seconds go by slowly."You've been postponing your duties for three days. Getting a hold of you is almost impossible. I guess you've been occupied with something else,"I glanced at her from the corner of my eyes and met with her suspicious gaze. She stared into my eyes for a while and I saw her gulp. I could tell there was somet
