Sophie batted her eyes when she heard Nicholas' proposal. She was caught off guard because he did it when she didn't expect it. After years of living together in the palace, raising the children together, and basically acted as family without the title of husband and wife and never being intimate with each other, she had gotten so used to Nicholas' presence around her. In the beginning, she thought Nicholas would try to get back together with her under the excuse that the children needed a father after…

After Sophie read the bedtime story for Anne and Jack, she realized her son was already sleeping on the bed with his mouth wide open. His big body dominated the bed that was meant for one person and pushed the petite Anne almost to the edge of the bed. This sight made Sophie shake her head. She thought Jack was adorable. His personality came out more prominently now that he could express his feelings with facial expressions and words. "Gosh, Jack... you shouldn't have taken that much space. Now your…

Sophie hugged Jack so tightly that the big boy felt squeezed. He pouted his lips and complained that he couldn't breathe. "Gosh... I am so sorry," said Sophie apologetically. She chuckled and let go of Jack from her embrace. She took a good look at the boy, and suddenly, her eyes were brimming with tears. Jack was truly Leland's copycat. The boy looked like the mini and more adorable version of Leland. his body type, his hair, his face, and his eyes, all reminded her of her mate. Gosh... this made…

"Why did you promise something like that?" Sophie whispered to Nicholas disapprovingly. She was always paranoid when it came to her children's safety. She wanted the children to have friends their age, but she didn't want to compromise their security. Maybe after they were older and bigger... it would be okay. Right now, Luciel and Jan were almost twelve. They grew up to be two handsome teenagers, but they were still not old enough to be let out in the world. "It's time," said Nicholas patiently. "We…

Sophie smiled when she heard Nicholas' words. She could see how much the man doted on her children, even ones that were not his. She felt grateful for his graciousness for accepting them all and not even making any difference in how he treated the children. How long had Leland gone? Sometimes, Sophie tried to ask Max to find news about Leland - to see if he heard anything from among the lycan communities. There was nothing. She didn't want to ask Nicholas because she was embarrassed. Since she knew…

The children were understandably happy when they heard that they were all moving back to the palace. Sophie was surprised to know that they didn't make any comments or ask for any explanation about her change of heart. She was already worried about letting them know about the dangers lurking around them and the fact that their teacher, Catherine, was not the person they thought she was. Sophie didn't want them to feel worried. So, their easily accepting to move back to live with Nicholas gave her…

Seeing Sophie looking so upset, Nicholas decided to change the subject. "Until we can find out more about who they are and why they did what they did, can I please beg you to stay close to me? It pains me to think that you and the children could be targeted by the enemy, whoever they are, and I am not there to protect you all," he said with a pleading tone. Nicholas looked at Sophie with concern filling his eyes. Sophie could see how the man was worried sick about her and her children. This…

After dinner was over, Nicholas waited at the dining table until his mother and the children went out of the dining room, carrying their little siblings in their arms. They knew Nicholas wanted to talk to Sophie about something important. Once the servants closed the door and left, Nicholas got up and turned to Sophie. He looked at the woman carefully and studied her expression. "How well do you know Catherine?" he asked her. Sophie looked at Nicholas and wondered if anything bad had happened to…

Nicholas sometimes felt sad for his mother. As he grew older and understood more about what happened between his parents, he could have more sympathy for both his mother and father. He could feel his mother's suffering, but at the same time, he also couldn't blame his father. Both just tried to do what was best in their condition. It was not ideal but there was nothing they could do. The heart wants what it wants. "Will you join us to attend the festival?" the queen asked Nicholas with a beaming…

When Nicholas shared his concern with Noel, the former royal lycan hunter captain agreed with him. There had been no significant progress with Armeria and they had slowly lowered their guard from the possibility of open war. Nicholas assumed this was due to the lack of leadership in that kingdom. He heard that the previous human king had died in his captivity during Alpha Elias' reign of terror and he didn't leave any surviving children to avenge his death and take over power from their invaders. The…
