Susan looked at Ivan, trying to hide her irritation. She decided that if he wasn't a prince, she would probably have called him an idiot to his face, but since he was a prince, she had to refrain from saying it out loud. Her father looked at her for a moment without saying a word. He knew his kids, and he knew how sharp they both were, especially Susan, who could be very mischievous. What he was trying to figure out now was if Ivan's allegation had anything to do with the reason she was saying she wanted…

Luciana's parents sat down, and since everyone in the room had occupied all the seats, Luciana had to stand, which made her anxiety ten times worse. It made her feel like a criminal awaiting judgment. "Your daughter has been disrespectful to her husband," the Queen started, without beating around the bush. Her eyes went to Luciana's parents, who looked at each other in concern before they turned to look at their daughter, who simply stood there with her head down. Thinking that the queen had overheard…

Alvin kept a safe distance between himself and Alicia as he followed her. Thankfully, she didn't stray too far from her chamber. She stopped along the passageway and turned to him. "You were with Harold early this morning, am I right?" Alicia asked, and Alvin, who had been trying to come up with all the possible questions she could ask him, almost blinked in surprise since he hadn't been expecting that particular question. "Yes, my lady," he said with a bow. "Around what time precisely?" She asked, and…

Alicia looked at Harold like he was crazy before scoffing loudly. "Why the hell would I be jealous?!" She asked him in disbelief and marched to her chamber, opening the door forcefully and was about to slam it when he pushed it open and entered, before closing the door behind him. "What?!" She snapped at him, wondering why he was still following her. Wasn't he eager to get away just now? "Care to explain why you have this wild attitude right now if it's not jealousy?" He said calmly while spreading his…

Alvin almost rolled his eyes at the scene before him. Of all the guests, why did he have to be assigned to the Queen's family? The mother and daughter just wouldn't stop fawning over each other, and it didn't help that the said daughter was someone he wanted to get away from. He didn't know what she was thinking in her head, but the last thing he wanted was to be associated with her in any way. He still could not wrap his head around the fact that she thought he fancied her. That was the strangest thing…

When the first guest arrived, Ivan was quick to assign the Queen's bodyguard to lead them to their chamber. Since he was one of the most important people in the country, it was only normal that he would assign their person to lead him instead of letting Harold do that. Seeing how Harold was nonchalant about the whole thing made his blood boil. He had expected Harold to try and prove to the guests that he was worthy of the throne by being nice to them, but he didn't seem to mind, which made Ivan feel angry…

Alicia found Tyra first, looking out a window dejectedly. "What is wrong?" Tyra flinched, having not expected someone to suddenly come behind her. When she realized it was Alicia, she sighed in relief. The ever nosy Alicia looked out the window, looking for what Tyra had been intensely staring at. "What were you looking at?" "Nothing. I was just thinking." "About what?" Alicia asked, concerned. "Nothing." Tyra managed a smile and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Where are you off…

By the time Alicia got to her chamber, Paulina was already waiting for her there. Alicia smiled at her, thinking that Paulina always took her duties too seriously. "Good morning, milady," Paulina greeted with a smile of her own as she watched her mistress curiously. Two things were on her mind. First, she had come early to check on her mistress after hearing the rumours of her fight with Prince Ivan the previous night. She had rushed down to her chamber before the bells were rung to see if she was fine,…

Alicia struggled between the amusement she was feeling at his jealous reaction and the surprise that she was actually feeling the need to explain to him in the first place. "You don't have to worry though. It wasn't this body. So rest assured—" "It's not the body that matters," Harold muttered irritably. For a moment, he considered just leaving the room to go sleep outside. He had the feeling that after having his entire bones broken just for his wolf to take over, he would feel better. "Then what…

Unedited. As Harold lay on his side of the bed, he wondered why she did not put a pillow between them to demarcate their sides of the bed like she had done the previous night. Did she even realize just how much she was beginning to let down her guard around him with each passing day? He mused. Not that he didn't want her to. He was actually glad that she was gradually getting accustomed to being with him, whether or not she knew it. He wondered what she was thinking about and why she was so unusually…
