It took me less than fifteen minutes to take my bath and get into the night wear he provided. I don’t feel too comfortable in it because it is a little transparent and made my nipples more pronounced. After a second look in the mirror, I decide to wear a bra underneath, Something I have never done in my life. Bra’s are not really my thing and they make me super uncomfortable, especially at night, but I had to use it tonight. Prince Ryder says he would be back in fifteen minutes and I wouldn’t want him seeing me like that. Hopefully when he goes, I get to take it off.
Exactly fifteen minutes later, there’s a knock on the door and I’m scared at first but then I figured Prince Ryder would not knock before entering his room. I open the door and find a young girl carrying a tray, and a smile on her face. I already had a lot to eat earlier on and I am nowhere close to hungry but I accept the tray anyway and thank her. She doesn’t say a word, she
I didn’t expect him to be so gentle with me, I did not think my tears would touch him so much, but they did, and when he held me close and patted me like that, I felt better immediately and I shivered as the electric currents and sparks from his touch passed through every corner of my body.“Don’t cry, ” he says softly and I start to push him away from me, but it feels like I’m pushing against a rock. He doesn’t release me so easily at first but after a while, he finally let’s go.“Can I go? Please? I just want to be with my friends-” I start to say but his eyes darken again and I begin to feel his anger.“Go to bed, now, ” He says pointing at the bed. With the look on his face, I know there is no getting out of this for me. I could cry all night or protest but he isn’t going to let me out of this room. I sighed and resolved myself to my fate. Then slowly, I climb on the bed and get beneath
RYDER’S POVShe is so innocent, sweet yet stubborn, and she has her way of getting on my nerves quickly. Yes, she is equally annoying. She seems like she would derive pleasure in disobeying my orders but I would not take that from her. The mere thought of it made a scowl cross my face. Louis and Elsie look up at me, both raising their brows.We just finished having breakfast and we are seated at the balcony. I still have a few minutes before getting on with the business for today, so I decided to spend the time with my siblings while my mate was still sound asleep in my room.My mate. It’s hard to take in, it’s almost unbelievable but it’s exciting at the same time. I don’t know much about her but I intend to find out. She doesn’t seem like one to talk about her past life much. It had taken her a moment to even voice out her age. Eclipse pack is not one of the largest packs and a
TIANA’S POV“Miss Aldridge, Your highness asked that we delivered these to you,” A frail looking girl carrying a hand full of clothes drops them on the bed, and another girl follow behind her.“Thank you,” I mouthed to them and they smiled genuinely. “Wait,” I quickly stop them before they leave. “I was wondering if you knew Rose?” They shook their heads simultaneously “Nora?” They look at each other and shook their heads again. Then I just sigh and wave them off.When they left, I go to inspect the clothes they brought for me. Expensive clothes. Each one had a label on them indicating they had just been bought and I gushed over how beautiful the dresses are and the price tag on them. I don’t think Prince Ryder picked out these outfits for me, they looked really girly and classy, something a lady would pick. Anyway, Mr. Scary t
“What are you all doing here anyway?” I ask, glancing around the room.“Come, ” Sadie pulls my hands and start to lead me outside, the other two following behind us. I can’t begin to describe how big and beautiful the werewolf palace is. This particular building is not as big as Prince Ryder’s and it was divided into several beautiful sections. It is about two stories tall and I want to explore more areas but I don’t have much time. I want to spend the hour catching up with them and telling them about my own experience too. I also need to speak to Layla.When we exited the room, they take me to a much smaller area, it’s like a mini parlor with awards and medals scattered all around and about six single chairs.“I think the best thing that happened to us was coming here, ” Rose commented, taking the first sit and I followed suit. Sadie took the chair close
I’d barely spent five minutes with the girls when I start to feel funny. I notice a change in the atmosphere and then there’s that fluttering in my stomach accompanied with excitement as well as dread and my wolf is back and panting in my head. She had never spoken to me or showed her presence except when we are with our mate and I knew he was approaching. I start to panic, and the girls immediately noticed. I inhaled his sweet scent just two seconds before the door bursts open and he’s standing there, glaring at us, at me in particular, his presence filling the room, causing the girls to bare their necks to him. I stared at the floor because I couldn’t bear to look at his face. The deep scowl on his face and anger radiating from him made me wish I could disappear. Behind him is his bodyguard Mr. Scary and then I hear the click of heels on the hard floor and I didn’t bother to look because I already knew who it belonged to. “Ryder!” Princess Elsie exclaimed b
I stared at the bulk of clothes I had gotten. I and Elsie spent a lot of time shopping for dresses that I don’t think are necessary. I know having dinner with the royal family is a big deal but I ended up buying too many clothes that I could wear for another two months without a repeat and Elsie made me do it. I haven’t had so many clothes all my life and the fact that every penny I spent was from the prince’s credit card made me worry.Elsie assured me that he wouldn’t mind and might not even notice. She even added that he would be pleased if I looked good always. I doubt if anything I did would please Prince Ryder but I didn’t voice out my thoughts.What I didn’t like however, was the fact that each item I bought were carried to the Prince’s room. I also found out that a portion of his closet had been cleared out for me and I’m not sure under whose orders. Elsie did not see anything wrong in it and I didn’t want t
I remember Elsie telling me to get used to having my meals at the royal table but right now, I don’t think it’s possible to get used to it. The king sat at the head of the table, scrutinizing and glaring at me like some leech he would like to end it’s life. His domineering presence and piercing gaze made me want to bolt from the dining hall and never be seen again. It was not so bad at first when he didn’t respond to my greeting because Elsie had told me not to expect a response. To his right is Prince Louis, and across from him is Prince Ryder who I am seated next to, then opposite me is Princess Elsie who was occasionally casting apologetic looks in my direction. Next to Elsie is a dark-haired man who introduced himself as Adrian and Ryder’s beta. He looked friendly to me and I took an instant liking to him because he wasn’t as scary looking as the other prince’s on the table. A long line of nobles and royals are also at the table. Some of them I have seen
Once we were inside his room, he slammed the door shut loudly and let out a low, frustrated growl. I was a little scared to go close to him in this mood, so I stood with my back to the door and just watched him pace the room until his anger started to deflate. “You had a mate before me?” He asked with irritation. How convenient of him to act like I committed a crime when his father just listed his women and told me how unbefitting I was to be his son’s mate to my face. “Yes,” I swallowed as I remembered Jordan for the nth time today and he looked angry for a second but his anger is short-lived and his eyes grow soft and then all the anger was gone instantly. “What happened?” He asked me. I looked away because it’s something I never discussed with anyone. I wanted everything that had to do with Eclipse pack buried forever. When I didn’t respond immediately, I felt his anger brewing again. “He didn’t want me,” when I said it, I realized I felt nothing b
