Currently, the royal family was having dinner together with their beloved guest Lady Karenina from Hauntingen. She had stayed in the capital for several months now and the queen was very fond of her. So, she was often invited to dinner at the royal palace. "How is Uncle Joseph by the way?" Nicholas asked his mother. His words caught the queen who looked shocked at her son's sudden question. "Um, pardon me, your grace, but who is Uncle Joseph?" Karenina batted her eyelashes innocently. She thought the…

"What?!" Sophie looked at him in surprise and yet before Leland could say anything else, the midwife already approached her and was cradling the two lycan pups in her arms. She gently placed them in Sophie's arms. As soon as she caught sight of her babies, Sophie felt tears prick her eyes. These lycan pups had the same exact color as Nicholas' hair and she felt her love grow in this moment for her two children. "Oh… they can't still open their eyes either huh?" Sophie lovingly held her babies in her…

Leland didn't think that he'd find a way to grow closer with Sophie, but he apparently did. The man realized that it was only possible, somehow, by the loss of Sophie's husband. It was obvious that his gain was her loss. His happiness was her pain. This reality made him feel awful. He was not responsible for Nicholas's death, but Leland knew he was only lucky because the other man, his competition, was gone. He could take the place by Sophie's side by tricking her into thinking he was marrying her for…

Note: Thank you, Maude Fluckiger dear, for gifting a spacecraft to this book yesterday. I really have no more words to express my gratitude... T_T. I hope you feel better and everything becomes well. x . . ___________________ This particular evening, Sophie suddenly woke up at midnight. She was feeling uncomfortable all over her body. Her back was sore, her tummy felt bloated and she was getting a headache. She got up from bed and went to the table near the window to get water. After she drank a cup…

In the end, they didn't say anything and just spent the time together on the picnic in silence. Sophie was worried she would say the wrong things; Leland didn't know how to start a conversation. He didn't really have anything to ask her about because he knew what she thought or felt. He could feel it as her mate. He knew she was worried about the missing money pouch, thinking Duke Romanov would be upset if he knew she was careless and lost the money he gave her. Of course, he didn't feel that way, and…

Leland and Sophie made their way out of the sea of the people and eventually ended up in a more isolated area outside of the town. If there was anything that Sophie learned was that she didn't exactly need to be with a lot of people. She was actually being more sympathetic to the duke's earlier comment that he didn't like crowds. So, after the man purchased a basket of different food and even a blanket upon her request, they ended up sitting behind a tree away from the rest. "I expected that the two of…

Note: Thank you, Despina, for gifting a castle to this book yesterday! xx . . _____________________ "Would you like to eat something else, Dinah?" Sophie held out a meat skewer to the maid who was surprised that their Luna was eating so ravenously. The two of them had been eating so much food that even the female lycan was satisfied and satiated. "No, I'm full, ma'am." Dinah laughed a little and shook her head. She looked at Sophie curiously. "I'm surprised that you're eating more than me. It's like…

Duke Romanov was now technically her husband and just being around him made Sophie feel a tad more nervous than she had ever been with other people. It could be because she had been intimate with him. She knew what it felt like to be lying beneath the man while she was in bed with him, how his taut muscles had been… Sophie felt her face suddenly flush. She didn't want to admit it aloud but when she did look at him, she realized how outstanding his physique was. Sophie didn't want to compare it to…

Sophie cleared her throat and said honestly, "I am just a bit confused if I am still needed or not." Leland nodded slightly. "You are. Don't worry about it. I am just not in a hurry." Sophie looked up at the man's side profile and tried to read him. Unfortunately, she didn't know him well enough to understand him. He was still an enigma for her. "Very well…" She couldn't argue and finally just accepted his words. They stood still on the balcony watching the view outside. The moon was bright and the…

Leland took Sophie to the balcony in his study not to talk with her or anything, but to let her have a fresh breath of air and relax. This was one of the things that he actually liked to do even when he was still in the pack. There were countless stars out in the dark night sky and a chilly breeze blew past them. It was actually quite beautiful. Sophie hadn't exactly expected that the two of them would be going out of the castle so she ended up feeling a bit cold and exposed to the winds. However,…
