Unexpected Encounter Lisa's POV "Okay," he muttered sadly. "Don't be sad. You can always visit me," I let out. "Really? Can I?" He purred. "Yes. My quarters are just a few blocks from this place." I told him where I lived, and he promised to come see me. "Nice meeting you, Keen." I waved my hand and quickly left. "You're back, my lady?" Linda asked me immediately after I stepped inside the room. She began sniffing my body. "What's wrong?" I inquired. "Why are you sniffing me?" "You smell different, my lady," she stated. "This scent isn't yours." She sniffed again, closely inspecting my clothes. "It's familiar, but I can't quite place where I smell this scent." She stepped back, wearing a thoughtful expression. "I know," I replied, removing my clothes. "It doesn't belong to my brother," she blurted out. I laughed at how serious she was. "I know," I muttered. "I met a wolf." "A wolf?" she asked. "How did that happen?" "It happened by accident," I replied, unsure how to expl

Unveiling secretsLisa's stance.Without hesitation, I punched him in the face. “What have you done to him? Who do you think you are to harm him?” My anger surged as I confronted the scumbag in front of me. If only I had known, I wouldn’t have dragged Keen into this. “You hit me,” he protested, holding his cheek. “And I will hit you again.” With that, I pushed him aside and dashed out in search of Keen. “Keen, where are you?” I called out desperately, scanning my surroundings in vain. Collapsing to the ground, I wept uncontrollably, my tears mingling with the turmoil in my heart. Amidst my anguish, a growl echoed behind me. I turned to find Keen standing there. Relief flooded through me, and I rushed to his side. “Keen.” “Why are you crying? What’s wrong?” Keen’s concern was evident as he embraced me. “I thought you were dead. I thought that he killed you.” “Who?” he asked. “That bastard!” I spat, my fury barely contained. “I don’t understand you.” “I mean the king,” I whis

Peace King Alexander's stance "You shouldn't have done this, Alex," Keen said through our linked minds. "Why are you provoking me and touching my bottom line?" "Keen, I did nothing wrong. You should know that I do not support your silly plays," I fired back at my wolf. "Do you think if you push me deep within you, I won't be able to save Maria? She's the only woman I love, and I won't stand by and let her be bullied." "You crossed the line, and I won't sit and watch you maltreat my mate as well." I tried talking to Keen, but he ignored me. I also hadn't seen my mate. I didn't know what was going on with her. I missed her. I left the office with her on my mind. With a heavy heart, I sat in my chair and started working. Tomorrow, Lycan King Beta could arrive to sign the peace pact. It was time for the Lycans and wolves to be at peace. I should be the one to be there, but due to Maria's poor health, I had to beg the King to send his beta. Lycans were stronger and faster than wolves,

She's dead. Lisa. I stood there, watching him take his vow. I didn't feel hurt, like the other day when I was introduced as a maid to his people. I didn't ask to be brought here, and I have no interest in being his wife or mate. All I want right now is my freedom. ~Flashback~ "My lady, are you seriously going to the meeting?" Linda asked me. I was rummaging through my closet to find clothes to put on. I needed to dress beautifully. More beautiful than that bitch. "Yes. Do I have a choice, Linda?" I hissed. "He threatens me with my mother's life. He vows to kill her. I have no choice but to heed his command." "I know. Allow me to dress you up." I picked out the clothes I wanted to wear. Linda beautifully styled my hair and clipped it with a gorgeous hair clip. I stood in front of the mirror. This was my first time trying hard to look good. "Thank you, Linda. I love my appearance." Together with Linda, we left for the pack hall. Everywhere was full of his pack members. In their mi

The Queen’s Machinations Maria’s POV I was frustrated to see Alex being lenient with Lisa. My anxiety grew day by day. If I didn’t act quickly, Lisa would take my mate away from me. I started tossing and turning in bed, trying to come up with the perfect plan to get rid of her once and for all. “Why are you not sleeping, my queen?” Miranda asked. She was my most trusted maid, and she helped me handle all the dirty work. “Miranda, I am scared,” I whispered, biting my nails. “I’m scared that she’s going to snatch my mate from me.” She stared at me for a moment before speaking. “I understand you. We did our best to eliminate her. I framed her for you, hoping the king would take care of it, but he didn’t. I know she’s a tough one to deal with, my queen.” “She’s so annoying,” I spat. “I need to get rid of her if I want to be the queen.” “I know what to do,” she said, whispering her plan into my ear. “I love it,” I beamed. “Thank you so much, Miranda.” The following morning, we both
