Sophie batted her eyes and smiled. She noticed Lily's expression and was wondering what was in the girl's mind. "What are you thinking?" she asked with a chuckle. Lily was embarrassed to be caught staring and quickly laughed it off. She would not tell Sophie that she was impressed to see Sophie had two very impressive men as her mates. She was the king's wife and also the Alpha's mate. From what Lily gathered, Sophie's and Nicholas's relationship didn't end well because they didn't meet even after…

The hunting party went so well and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. This was Nicholas' first time hunting as a lycan and he enjoyed it very much. For once in his life, he felt like he belonged. As everyone shifted into their wolf forms and started running to chase after the prey, he felt a surge of adrenaline in his veins. So, this was how it felt, to be free and comfortable in his own skin, he thought in amusement. He was in awe when he saw his sons' wolf forms. They really looked like him. Luciel…
-
Nicholas was very happy with the visit. He wished he could stay longer but he understood that it was not his place. Being allowed to meet Luciel and Jan today was already a good thing. So, he shouldn't push his luck. Perhaps, if they could maintain this civil interaction, and Leland no longer felt threatened about his presence, he could talk about taking the kids to the palace and introduce them to his side of the family. He could already imagine his mother's happiness and excitement to see the boys…

"I understand now," Nicholas finally nodded and he smiled again, albeit bitterly. He patted Luciel's shoulder and praised him. "You are really smart." Luciel shrugged. "It's not that hard to guess. We know our father's name. It's the same as yours. Plus, we do look so much alike. I'd be dumb if I can't make that connection." Nicholas was in awe when he heard Luciel explain his conclusion. He didn't expect the boy to be this smart. "Aren't you six? How come you are so smart?" he commented. "Six years…

Lily immediately assumed that they were his children. But still, she needed to make sure. So she pulled Lucas' hand closer to her and then she tiptoed to ask him in a whisper. "Lucas, are they.. his sons?" The Beta nodded. His face suddenly felt hot when Lily spoke in his ear and her breath tickled his skin. For a moment he was dazed and his grip on her arm loosened. Lily furrowed her brows in confusion and asked again, "But, aren't they the Alpha's sons?" Lucas nodded. "That's also right." He didn't…

"Can I be honest with you?" Sophie looked at Leland sincerely. The Alpha nodded. He could feel what she wanted to say, but he gladly still listened to her. He knew his decision to allow Nicholas to come and visit his sons made her feel really happy and her happiness rubbed off on him. Sophie cleared her throat. She touched his cheek and caress it gently. "I am really proud of you. You showed empathy and support to another man that you don't even like because you think it's what's best for Luciel and…

Sophie thought about how Leland and Nicholas had so much in common, from the perspective of an outsider. The men themselves might be too blinded by their jealousy to realize that. She could see that both men didn't have a good relationship with their fathers, but both were good fathers themselves. They both were also good leaders who took their responsibility seriously but deep inside they were not interested in power. Looking at her mate, Sophie secretly thought that Leland and Nicholas could actually…
-
"Oh..." Sophie tried to keep her expression flat. She was curious to know what was the conversation about but she didn't want to look very interested. She was giving consideration to her mate's feelings. Leland must not think that Sophie wanted to know things about Nicholas. "I think we need to sit down and talk about this," Leland said gently. He looked at her deeply, as if trying to find assurance that she loved him more than she loved Nicholas. "I might have misunderstood his family and...…

Nicholas batted his eyes in confusion. He still needed to wrap his head around what just happened. So, did Leland accept his proposal for peace, or did this mean he also gave Nicholas the opportunity to have a relationship with his children? He looked at Lucas with furrowed brows. "Come again?" "My Alpha invited you to tea tomorrow afternoon in our castle," Lucas repeated what he said. His eyes looked annoyed that the king seemed to need to be told twice. He was not dumb, was he? The truth was, after…

Nicholas smiled, "To tell you the truth, I don't care about power. I inherited the throne from my father and I see it as more of a burden than a privilege. However, now that I found out I have two sons, I want to make Riga a better place for them. They are the reasons why I am doing all these, trying to make peace between our two races, to ensure they would have the right to the throne... if they wish for it." Leland realized Nicholas was a good father and his heart was in the right place. This man before…
