Red POV
I walked down the pack house heading to the car. I already packed my stuff yesterday and the guards from the palace took it immediately. I have spent the remaining of my time sleeping and doing nothing.
“You packed all your loads. It’s almost like you are moving away,” Bryan said from behind me. I stopped in my tracks, turning around.
“Who knows? The king might actually fall in love with my dumped ass,” I said, shrugging my shoulders. He licked his lips. I looked at his face, pale skin. He is not that tall, he is not muscular, his hair is long and curly, none of his facial features stood out, boring brown eyes, straight nose, freckles, and normal shaped lips. What did I ever see of him? He is not even my type.
“Beauty is really in the eyes of the beholder,” I said, after giving him a long look. He sighed.
“I know I fucked us up and I reg…” I cut him off.
“You didn’t fuck us up. You helped me realize my potential. You helped me know my worth,” I said. He gave me a soft look, different from the evil one he gave me in that hallway.
“I’m sorry for what I did to you,” he said, looking down.
“You trusted me, loved me with your whole heart, stayed loyal to me, but I cruelly left you for a lady who is a core cheater. She is actually my mate Red, but I should have told you immediately I found out. I shouldn’t have done that,” he said. I crossed my arms, looking at him. I actually pitied him. Natalie is a bitch.
“The pup is not mine,” he said, chuckling. Honestly, I’m not surprised.
“I broke the bond, too. The moon goddess really watches all over us because she is now punishing me for my sins and I will take it wholeheartedly, but I hope you will forgive me,” he said, and I kept looking at him. He moved close to me, hugging me slightly. His flowery scent went up my nose, the scent I used to love so much. I would inhale it all night long. I moved back, blocking the memories that were coming back. He chuckled awkwardly.
“I will see you soon,” he said. I ignored him, walking away. I got to the car, and they were waiting for me, including alpha.
“I will be leaving now,” I said. He smiled.
“Make sure his majesty puts us in his good books,” he said. I rolled my eyes.
“You are already in his good books by selling me off,” I said, wearing black shades.
“Take care of yourself, old man,” I said, entering the car. He smiled, waving at me. Well, alpha and I fight all the time, but he is the closest thing I have to a father. I will miss the old man. The guards entered the car.
“Your seatbelt please,” the one in the driver's seat said. I nod my head using my seatbelt. Then I watched the car ride out with two SUVs in the front and in the back. I wondered why he sent three cars to pick me up. I can literally find my way to the palace myself.
“How far is the palace from here?” I asked.
“We will get there in the evening,” he replied. I nod my head, getting comfortable. I pressed the button on my side, separating myself from seeing the drivers. I’d rather sleep the journey off. I hate car rides or seating in one spot for too long. It’s exhausting.
“I love you,” Bryan’s soft voice rings in my head. I looked through the window and saw he was standing there. I kept looking at him as the car drove past my view. I sighed. He won’t love me if things went well between him and his mate. I don’t even have to worry about him. I have to worry about not getting myself killed in the palace. The Lycan king is not so merciful. Well, fuck me if he finds me out.
*******************
A soft knock on the window woke me up from my not so deep sleep. The car kept turning, driving through so many bumps and I felt so sick. I sat up, winding down.
“We are here,” the guard said from the opened window. I nod my head, opening the door. I came out, and I was standing in front of a prominent building. Wow, the palace is beautiful and the lights illuminating on it make it even more beautiful.
“My lady, welcome to the palace,” a woman in black-and-white clothing said.
“My name is Priscilla. I am the head maid of the palace. Hope the journey wasn’t too stressful,” she said, smiling politely. I looked at the other maids and they were dressed so formally, I looked out of place with my black sweatpants and baggy hoodie. I gulped, holding down my vomit.
“Is my lady okay?” she asked, taking a good look at me. I smiled.
“I’m fine, just a little carsick,” I said.
“Please, let us escort you to your room,” she said. I nod my head, adjusting my hoodie. I followed behind her, the maids behind me, and my mouth was hung open at the beauty of the palace. The beautiful animal statues, the quality of the bricks used, the beautiful fountain. This place is so calming and the air smelt like flowers. I could also get a faint smell of a bakery.
“Is there perhaps a garden or bakery nearby?” I asked.
“My lady has such a sensitive nose. Yes, there is a garden and the palace bakery not so far from here, about a 20-minute stroll,” she said. I nod my head; that explains the amazing fragrance mixed with aroma. I like this place so far. We entered through a door, and it led us to an outdoor hallway. I looked up, and I could see the full moon.
“It’s so pretty,” Aurora said, and honestly, I thought the same. We entered another door, and this was a mini-living room.
“This is one of the best guest quarters; there is a living room and kitchen in case you prefer to cook yourself, but his majesty prefers his guests eat what the palace maids cook to ease the stress. There is a room, a restroom, and a closet, all arranged for your comfort,” she said. And I looked around. This is beautiful and modern. The living room is not too big or small either; it is not decorated. There is a white couch that looks comfy, and in front of it is a low centre table and a TV hung on the wall. Then a big chandelier hangs on the wall; the only decoration here is the painting on the wall. I have to decorate this place to my taste; it is too basic.
“Do you need anything?” she asked.
“For now, I don’t,” I said. She smiled.
“The hallway leads to other guest quarters, and his majesty has a guest. Lady Yasmine stays here too in case you come across her, but there is a private balcony and a private jacuzzi in case you want to take a warm swim since the winter is fast approaching,” she said. I smiled, there is a jacuzzi? Perfect.
“Is my lady hungry or does she need anything?” she asked.
“No, I’m okay,” I said. She smiled.
“Your bags are in the closet; we will take our leave now. Please have a good night’s rest,” she said, bowing a bit. Then they all left. I sighed, bringing down my hood, then I locked the door.
“Okay, let’s check this place out,” I said, walking to the kitchen first. It’s a spacious kitchen. I opened the fridge, and it’s stocked. I opened all the cupboards, and they are fully stocked. I run my hand on the island tiles, so smooth.
“I guess his majesty is a stylish person,” I mumbled, walking to the room.
“Wow,” I said, my mouth opening.
“So huge,” I said, looking around. The room is so huge, a big round bed stayed in the middle of the room with white covers. Then beautiful flowers decorate the side of the bed.
“Wow,” I said, taking the teddy on the bed.
“So fluffy,” I squealed, jumping on the bed. I moaned; the bed and covers are so soft.
“I am going to get a good night’s sleep with the quality of this bed,” I said, lying down flat.
“Let’s not get too carried away; remember, he is our enemy,” Aurora said. I sighed, laying on the bed. I completely forgot; I can’t get distracted by these few little luxuries. Do what I can do and leave. It’s really that simple. I thought about getting comfortable, and with that, I was pulled into a deep sleep.
Red POVI walked behind the head maid and the other maids behind me as I followed them to the dining room. This is the first time I am meeting the Lycan King. I don’t know what he looks like, but I feel nervous. He is my king, after all, and I am about to deceive him. Will he figure my lies out? If he does, I am literally dead. Deceiving the king of werewolves, a Lycan, stronger and more powerful than us normal wolves. I would die a really painful death. I sighed, covering my head in nervousness. I didn’t even sleep well. I dreamt the king killed me, and I could no longer sleep. I have been paranoid all night; I just want to enter deep into the ground. They opened the door, and my breath got stuck in my throat as I entered the dining room.There were four people, three men and a woman. They all sat down at the table, looking elegant. I looked down at my outfit. A black hoodie, short sweatpants, and black fluffy slippers. Is that why Priscilia looked at me that way this morning? How ca
Red POVI walked behind the king, my eyes on his buttocks. Damn, he has a nice butt, hard and round; I wanted to grasp it. How can a man have such a nice butt? Oh goodness, me.“Ouch,” I groaned as I collided into his back. He turned around, and I bit my lips in nervousness. He had stopped walking, and I didn’t notice because I was staring at his buttocks. He looked down at me, and I chuckled nervously, moving on my toes. He shook his head.“We are here,” he said, and the guards opened the door.“No more messing up,” I whispered, and I followed him into the study. I looked around, and this place was so warm; it smells like lavender. There was a stack of books and files on the left, and in the middle of the room is a L-shaped office table with two chairs in front of it. There is a fine couch and centre table in the other corner of the room, along with a bar filled with surely very expensive wines. I gasped slowly as I saw the wine. Is that pure wine? The most expensive wine known to we
Red POVI walked down the hallways, heading to the dining room. Well, it was the next day, and yesterday I spent it shopping and getting to know Adrain. He is a funny person and march my energy, and he is just a wolf like me. He was really a breath of fresh air. The guards standing in front of the dining-room door gasped, staring at me. I smirked, clearing my throat, and they opened the door for me.“Thank you, gentlemen,” I said, entering the room. My heels clicked the floor as I walked in. Yasmine, Felix, and Adam turned their heads, and their eyes widened in shock. Well, I am wearing a white gown. The gown is long and a body hug, hugging all the beautiful curves I hide under my baggy clothes. The gown is armless, and what I love about the gown is that it’s transparent.The clothes inside are reaching my mild thighs, not too far from my ass. This gown is beautiful; I am looking sexy without showing much skin, compared to little Miss Yasmine, whose breasts are all out in the open. I
Red POV“Wow!” I exclaimed, looking at what was in front of me. It was a rope, 10 feet from the floor. Under the rope is a hot, burning fire, and above the rope is another rope to hold on to. All I have to do is pass the rope. That seems easy, right? Except it isn’t. Huge rocks are flying randomly, and I only have the rope to hold on to; if not, it would knock me down into the fire. Adrian was right; it’s not as easy as it seems; this is a death sentence.“There are rocks under the fire,” Aurora said. I looked at it well, and she was right—hot, burning rocks. I cleaned my sweaty hands; the fire is already making me sweat. Oh, now I get it. If my hand is sweaty, it would make me have a loose grip on the rope, falling me to doom. I looked at the field, and of course they were all staring at me, including the king. Adrian looked worried while everyone smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at them, standing up. I hold the rope, putting my toes on the other rope. I walked slowly on the rope, and
Red POVI smiled, limping to the dining room. It was the next day, and I felt much better. Aurora couldn’t heal me, as she was a bit weak herself. The silver knives weakened her, so we are both healing. I have a few cuts in my body, and they are taking their precious time to heal, but I don’t mind; what I mind is my knee. Priscilla put a cast on my leg because I can’t walk, and it’s annoying.“My lady, I already told his majesty that you won’t make it to the dining room; please let’s go back to the room,” Priscilla said, running after me. I smiled. I have been looking forward to this morning since he left my room, and I am not missing it for anything, not even for my knee.“I’m fine, Priscilla; I’ll see you later,” I said, not looking back at all. She sighed, mumbling, and the guards opened the doors for me. I smiled widely, limping towards them.“Good morning!” I yelled, smiling widely. They turned to me, looking at me like I was crazy.“What a beautiful morning, isn’t it your majest
Red POVIt’s been 3 days, and I have been in my room but haven’t stepped out once. I have been rethinking all the nonsense I did, and let’s just say I am ashamed of myself. I let myself lose control of my actions and acted like a child in a candy shop. I wanted to forever die in my room, but today his majesty asked for me, so I breathed out, standing in front of his study. I knocked on it softly.“Come in,” he said. My body shook hearing his voice, but before I got too excited, I tuned it down, breathing in. I opened the door and entered.“Good morning, your majesty,” I greeted as he sat behind his desk.“Seat,” he said. I nodded my head and took my seat in the chair.“I hope you’ve recovered fine,” he said. I looked away from his face.“Yes, your majesty,” I answered politely.“Good, we start our mission today. We are taking a trip to the academy; is there any question you would like to ask before we start our trip?” he asked. I thought about it.“Yes, your majesty,” I said.“Okay, a
Red POVI looked around the academy. I have never been here during the day, and it’s actually beautiful. Beautiful buildings, rogues walking everywhere, all smiles. I looked at them; they all seemed so happy but attacked innocent packs, killing every single one of them. Don’t they feel pity? They were all rescued too, after their packs were raided. Or were they forced to do it to those innocent packs? I definitely didn’t think of all this; when I got that list, I swung into action and killed everyone whose name was on the list. I am not even done, but I don’t think I want to continue; it would only land me in more trouble.“Your majesty,” a warrior said, coming to us.“Rodney,” he said, acknowledging him.“I’m happy you are here; it’s been a long time,” he said, and they shared a hug. I looked at them. Is he perhaps the leader of this place, or are they just close?“Felix,” he said, hugging him, and I watched them embrace with smiles on their faces.“Lady Yasmine, beautiful as ever,”
Red POVI looked away, brushing my hair. I felt like crying; standing here made my chest hurt. I am in love with a man who would never love me back. I shouldn’t have come to this place; it was a bad idea.“Are you okay?” he asked. I sighed.“Why did you bring me here, your majesty?” I asked.“You seem sad; I’m trying to cheer you up,” he said. I looked at him.“I don’t think his majesty does this for anybody,” I said. He nods his head.“Yes, you are right. I couldn't care less if anyone except my brother and my assistant is sad,” he said. That reminds me, I haven’t even met his assistant; she must mean so much to him.“So why me?” I asked. He smiled, looking at me.“You remind me of someone,” he said, and I could see the pain in his eyes. Is what Adrain says all true?“Who?” I asked. He gave me a long look, then looked away.“Someone I used to love,” he said. Used? I thought he still loved her, which is why he doesn’t want to move on.“Who was she to you?” I asked.“She was a lot of t
