"Witches are just like lycans and humans. There are good and bad people among them," Leland explained as a matter of factly. His words made Sophie smile sheepishly. She knew he was right and immediately regretted asking the question. Of all people, she should know better that there were good and bad people in all races and clans. She was half human and half lycan who was raised among humans and witnessed how they misunderstood lycans and considered them as monsters. On the other hand, now that she lived…

The presence of a female guest in the castle became an unusual sight, but Leland had known Katherine from six years ago when she was hired to tutor Sophie to do bookkeeping, so he was not wary about her. Back then, he already had Duncan investigate Katherine's background before she was hired. He knew Katherine was a lowly witch who loved studying human knowledge more than magic. She also helped Sophie a lot when she grew up in Hastings and taught her many things. In addition to that, Katherine also…

Sophie felt so happy with Katherine's presence. She always felt deep gratitude for the teacher and wished she could someday pay back the kindness that Katherine had shown her. Now, the opportunity came. Sophie was no longer the poor orphan. She had a good life and as Leland always said, his wealth was hers too. So, she was at liberty to gift Katherine whatever she wanted to give. After hugging and asking each other how they were, Sophie led Katherine into the manor. Sophie talked at length about their…

Lily kept looking at Nicholas, while she continued walking, waiting for his reply. She was so focused on him that she didn't notice there were steps in front of her. "Agh!" She fell just as her foot slipped on the edge of the stairs. Luckily, Nicholas who was nearby moved spontaneously to hold her so she didn't fall to the floor. When she saw Nicholas' face so close to hers, Lily was mesmerized again and her heart suddenly beat faster. "Are you okay?" Nicholas asked after helping the girl to her…

"Oh, I see," said Lily after her father finished explaining. She then looked at Nicholas. "So Your Majesty want to make peace with us since you need our strength to fight the Obsidian Sand Pack?" Lily's words sounded like accusations that Nicholas' real intention in bringing them to peace was because Nicholas wanted to take advantage of them. Nicholas smiled and tried to respond calmly to Lily's words. The girl looked smart. "Not taking advantage but we need each other." "Then His Majesty just wants us…

All the lycans from Red Moon who saw Nicholas turned into a huge grey wolf were shocked. It turned out that the king was really a lycan and the aura he gave off was that of an Alpha. "Grr… I'm not here to fight," Nicholas said as he dodged Alpha Rad's claw swing but Rad didn't listen to him at all and continued to attack. Rad jumped and slammed his claws at Nicholas but Nicholas caught Rad's wrist then quickly turned his body and threw Rad up, toppling two trees that were standing in a row. "Grr… I…

Nicholas knew that bringing about this peace required a lot of effort and the road to getting there was also very difficult because the enmity between the kingdom and the lycans had been going on for more than twenty years. In that period of time, there had been many battles that had taken place and it had taken so many lives that the fire of hatred in the hearts of both sides continued to burn. Even so, Nicholas did not want to give up and he would keep trying. The plan to bring about peace was not only…

"You're hurting me..." Eloise whispered with a choked voice. "Oh, am I?" Elias raised a brow and loosened his grip on her arm. "I am sorry, wifey. I got too carried away." He apologized for his outburst, however, his expression didn't change. It was hard to know whether he was truly sorry for, hurting her or not. Eloise stepped back and massaged her pained arm and scoffed. "Please leave me alone." "Why is that?" Elias crossed his arms on his chest. "I am your mate. I have the right to be here by your…

Nicholas kept himself busy after he returned from Hauntingen. He spent the next few weeks in the capital to find ways to change the way things were done in Riga. He had met with the higher officials and the nobles in the capital, and most of them understood him and supported him. However, the people of Riga, the commoners had been brainwashed for decades to hate lycans and consider them as monsters, the enemy. These people didn't understand that politics changed and the royal family's stance toward the…

Note: Thank you, dear Jess R 7437, for gifting a castle to this book yesterday. Wow, you read SO FAST!! . . . __________________________ "Your Majesty, you are so wise and gracious," Karenina wiped her fake tears and hugged Nicholas. "I don't want anything in this world, but I just want to continue seeing Her Majesty the queen. Thank you." Nicholas reflexively stepped back when Karenina hugged him, so the girl only touched air. "Very well. I am glad we have an agreement," he said casually. "I…
