The story of a bastard prince turned Alpha King and his fake mate. To the world, it’s a fairytale of a prince and a maid. In reality, it’s a sham. Killian is known as the bastard prince, a murderer believed to have killed his brother for the throne. Cold and merciless, Killian firmly believes only fools love but on a whim, he announces a random maid as his mate to avoid a political marriage. Then his beliefs begin to change. Carrot is fleeing her abusive mate who, not only rejected her, but also tried to kill her and then sold her off to an old, perverted Alpha. She runs to the capital and renames herself Amethyst. Working as a palace maid, she is scrubbing the ground one day when the Alpha Prince takes one look at her and declares her his mate. A lie. In public, Killian dotes on Amethyst but in private, he ignores her existence. He crowns her as his queen and they continue their fake relationship until their lies unravel as the truth. They are true mates. Can Amethyst open her heart to a man who disregarded her from the start? They may be true mates but with a woman deadset on having Killian, a disgraced dowager queen determined to avenge her son and the awakening of Amethyst’s hybrid powers, how long can their relationship last?

The days were getting colder but not to the point of needing a scarf. “Take my jacket. Your face looks pale.” He was about to take off his jacket but I could not keep mute any longer. “Killian, we are adult wolves,” I reminded him. Only children who hadn’t shifted suffered from colds. “Let’s go inside.” I stretched out my hand to him and he took it without a moment of hesitation. My body warmed from head to toe. The palace would be in turmoil now and it may even fan the rumours of me being an evil witch but for now, that was not our concern. When Killian said he needed a break, I feared he wanted to quit it all and gallop into the sunset but he meant a literal break, not giving up. He decided yesterday that we needed a break and so here we were. I gazed at the villa overseeing the beach and shook my head, remembering Luciano’s Haven. “Killian, I am a fo
“There’s trouble.” It was Victoria that first alerted me to the dangers ahead.“What is it?” I asked, half-heartedly listening to what she had to say. There were stacks of invitations on my desk, newspapers I had no time to look through and tea that had long gone cold.“It’s your – Hawke,” she paused. “He’s up to something dangerous,” she said. I continued to nod as I inspected the budget for the last quarter of the year. “Amethyst!” She exclaimed and I snapped out of number-land.“What is it?” I raised my head. It was the first time I paid proper attention to her since she entered the office without knocking. “When did you get here?” I stretched my arms over my head and bent my neck this way and that.“Hawke is up to something!” she exclaimed, her eyes fiery.“When isn’t he up to something?” I fought down a snort. Killian had people on him so if he made a move, they would report it in time.“No – No, this time, I feel it’s no joke! He’s up to something!” She looked frantically aroun
“It’s no secret that I was the family eyesore,” he muttered with the same dry chuckle as earlier. “My father hated me, after all, it was easier for him to blame me than it was to blame himself. He wanted to get rid of me and Scarlett gave him the opportunity to.” I knew he had a history with Scarlett but I did not know how deep or how painful said history was and when I found out, I wished I had hit the useless wench a bit more. I even wanted to storm her cell and slam her face into a wall – multiple times, until she bled, but I held myself back. “There was nothing likeable about her but I did not particularly hate her either way. She was someone who did not exist in my mind or heart, except for the times when she barged into the palace and made a fuss as if it was hers already.” I felt him bury his nose in my hair and take a whiff. I hoped it didn’t stink. “Well, it happened when I was fifteen.” His muscles stiffened and I pretended not to notice. “By then, she had become infatuate
Two days later, we attended the trial again but this time, Scarlett was escorted in after we were all seated. We heard from the poison experts as soon as the session started and the verdict was as predicted. The poison could not be identified but it proved deadly when tested and it was the same as the substance found in my cup a while back.“What does all this have to do with me?” Scarlett exclaimed. Unlike her appearance the other day, today, she looked pale and haggard. Dark circles decorated her eyes and her haughty gaze was nowhere to be found.“Alpha Scarlett Hawke, have you forgotten why you are here?” The judge growled at her and she looked on the verge of growling right back.“But I am innocent!” Indignation rang in her tone.“The evidence says otherwise, doesn’t it?” He exclaimed.“Why would you believe a jealous omega and a dangerous witch over me?” She demanded. “Have you forgotten who I am?” Her eyes found her father in the crowd. “I am Scarlett Hawke. Do you think my fath
My mother returned to her coven for a while and three days later, a bottle similar to the vanishing bottle arrived. I went to Killian with it and in a few days, a trial was ready. Before the Hawkes knew what hit them, the entire kingdom had heard the name Scarlett Hawke; the evil woman who tried to kill the Luna Queen using a deadly poison. It was because I used her method against her – driving public opinion against her before the magistrate sent her a letter to inform her of the trial. “Is everything set?” Killian asked and I nodded with a smile in an attempt to hide my jitters. This would be the first time we attacked Hawke and despite how well we hid our move and planned, there was still a chance things would blow up in our faces. “Don’t be nervous,” my mate said as he took my hand, squeezing it in his large one. “It will be fine.” “I hope so,” I muttered. “Shall I just end this?” He contemplated and I shook my head. No matter how much Killian was accused of abusing his power
I was not happy. In fact, I was closer to being angry than happy. The first thing I did the next morning after my unfortunate meeting with Hawke and then running into Scarlett who accused me of ripping her family apart, was to kick the Hawkes out of the palace.In the neatest writing I could use despite my hands shaking with anger, I wrote an eviction notice. The palace was under my control so I could easily kick out unwanted guests but I wondered if they would go without making a fuss. “Please, deliver this to Hawke and his daughter.” I handed Ian, the first guard I ever had, the letter. He had gone on a long vacation but now, he was back.“I can take it.” Jack went to snatch the letter from him but he moved faster than she did. “You punk. Give it to me.” She kicked his shin.“Jack,” I growled and she paused. “Let Ian be.” I missed the gloating smile he gave her as he left with the letter.“Why do you need an extra guard?” She complained. She had asked me this question at least fift
Yet again, people gathered around me and not for the first time, I wondered why I always caused so much drama. Phantom wolves attacked us and panic choked me into oblivion. Surprisingly, I was out for two days after that. When I opened my eyes, I saw my mate peering down at me with a gaunt face. I may just be the death of this man.“It looks like illusion magic,” my mother said. Killian pinched the bridge of his nose, pacing the room.“So there really weren’t any wolves?” I asked and she nodded.“Your fears invoked them.” I closed my eyes in both embarrassment and dread.When the oracle asked about my awakening the other day, I thought little it as I assumed my dreams were enough for a hybrid but now, this. What kind of awakening brought my fears to life? Was this a gift or a curse?“Illusion,” Killian muttered. “It sounds dangerous.”“It is,” Victoria said. “If you are not careful, you can be sucked into the illusions your mind creates and it – well – it is capable of destroying a p
Unfortunately, I could not get the oracle to curse Hawke as curses often last until the third generation which meant that if she cursed him, myself and my kids would also be cursed. It was truly unfortunate.“How did the issue with the priests go?” I asked as Ella poured tea.“It is all good. Cleaning up the corruption infiltrating the holy temple gave me something to do. They have started a fast that will last until they are free of sin.” Just a fast?“How long will it take them to be free of sin?” I asked and she blinked.“All their lives, of course. Who in this world is free of sin?” She asked and I recoiled.A fast – for life? Didn’t people call that starving to death?“From tomorrow, we can proceed with your plan to restore faith in the king’s blessing. I will be going on a tour of the kingdom to spread the word.”“You – You would do all that for us?” I asked, my heart warm.“We are friends so I can do that much.” She gave a tiny shrug. “Also, I will be spreading the goddess’ mes
