Chapter 24 ~ NYSSA I wished the ground would open up and fucking swallow me. How was it possible that I always managed to get into the most embarrassing situations? In the span of one month, I’d been rejected by my mate, abandoned by another, and still managed to get
Chapter 23 ~ NYSSA I couldn’t speak. My wrist hurt from where he grabbed me and my legs shook so violently that I knew trying to push off the wall would result in me falling over on my ass. I’d gotten bored in my room after having dinner. I tried
Chapter 22 ~ ROWAN When Nyssa was being wheeled into the palace, she looked like a corpse. For a minute, I was transported back to many years ago. I was plagued with a familiar sight—an older looking woman with the same features as Nyssa. It was like staring in a
Chapter 21 ~ NYSSA To my surprise, Henry stepped back, but he turned to me. “Tell them you’re not going,” he told me. “They’re lycans. They’re big on consent. If you say no p> “Why would I?” I cut him off. “You left me out there to die. You ran
Chapter 20 ~ NYSSA “I apologize for the noise,” the nurse began but I wasn’t paying attention to her anymore. I forced myself into a sitting position, ignoring the pain that went up my spine. “Is that Aria p> “I don’t know her name but she’s the p> “King’s sister,”
Chapter 19 ~ NYSSA I’d never given much thought to how I’d die. Mostly because I always thought I’d live a long and fulfilled life. The only time I’d given thought to it, I’d assumed it would be in the pack house, surrounded by children I had with Henry. The
Chapter 18 ~ ROWAN I’d hoped that not bringing her here would prove better for my sanity, but I was wrong because with each passing second, I only thought about her more. The mating bond was the cruelest form of torture. It didn’t make me instantly like her which would
Chapter 17 ~ NYSSA I didn’t leave my house over the next two days. I couldn’t bring myself to face the inevitable mockery that I’d receive from the pack. After what happened, Alisa took it upon herself to tell everyone that would listen how my mate had abandoned me and
Chapter 16 ~ NYSSA The entire room went deathly quiet at my admission. No one dared to move or even breathe. They watched Henry, as if bracing themselves for his inevitable outburst. With each passing second, his cheeks grew darker and the vein on his forehead pulsed harder. “You can’t
Chapter 15 ~ROWAN “I’m surprised that you didn’t see her off,” Aria drawled as she made her way into my office. “I thought for sure that you’d be kissing her goodbye like some love sick fool p> I sent my sister a withering glare that would have sent most grown
Chapter 14 ~NYSSA I had no idea how to respond to that so I said nothing. We had the rest of our meal in complete silence. As soon as I was done eating, I hurried out of the dining room as fast as my legs could carry me. My chest
Chapter 13 ~ROWAN I stood in the middle of the throne room, staring at the large grandfather clock. It was time for dinner, and I’d invited Nyssa to join me, yet I was standing here, my body unwilling to move. “I hope you know what you’re doing,” my lycan said
Chapter 12 ~NYSSA “I want to go to my pack first,” I told Rowan. I was surprised at how steady my voice sounded considering the fact that my heart was hammering in my chest. “I’ve been here for days. I’ll spend the first two weeks at my pack p> “No,”
Chapter 11 ~NYSSA If looks could kill, I would be dead from the force of Henry’s glare. But I ignored him. He was the least of my worries right now. Instead, my gaze remained unwavering from the Lycan King. My mate. The man who was so different, yet so similar
Chapter 10 ~ ROWAN “Hold on. What the fuck is going on here? How do you know Nyssa?” Henry snapped, and his voice was filled with so much bite that I dragged my attention away from my mate to meet his gaze. “Of course I know Nyssa. It is only
Chapter 9 ~NYSSA I have a mate. One of the most beautiful man I had ever laid my eyes on was my mate. My heart quickened at the thought, but I wasn’t as excited as I wanted to be. The man’s monosyllabic, totally uninterested words rankled me and I didn’t
Chapter 8 ~ROWAN I stared at the woman walking towards me with her jaw slacked with surprise, and I knew. She was my mate. My heart quickened in my chest as the realisation settled heavily on me. My lips parted as I started to talk, but when she stepped closer
Chapter 7 ~NYSSA Stubborn idiot. Henry was such a stupid, stubborn man. I fought the urge to walk to his room and yell some sense into his stupid head. But I didn’t. A part of me liked to believe that he knew what he was doing, but deep down, I
Chapter 6 ~HENRY My phone buzzed on the bedside table, and I grabbed it immediately. As soon as I set eyes on the caller’s ID though, a small sigh slipped past my lips. I dropped the phone and listened to it ring out, but Alisa started to call me almost
Chapter 5 NYSSA “The king asked me to show you to the rooms you’ll be staying in as long as you’re in here,” the man who opened the door for us, presumably the butler, stated as the door closed behind us. Henry turned to face the man, a frown on
