I slowly stretched my arms as I woke up, feeling lightheaded. I can’t remember when the last time I had a good night’s sleep was. As I slowly opened my eyes, I was welcomed by the blue, clear sky from the glass wall of the hotel that I’m in. It has been y habit for quite some time now. I’d go out to a local bar where no one could recognize me. I’d use an elixir that my mage c**ktailed for me to hide my prominent, long silver hair. It usually only lasted until morning, so I’d make it a point to wake up before the woman I’d slept with the previous night does.
But this morning was different; my bed was cold and empty the moment I opened my eyes. If not for the red stain on the sheet, I’d probably think that it was all just a dream.
“Who the hell is that woman, and what did she do to me?” I mumbled to myself.
I’m not the kind of person who sleeps deeply, I often wake up at the slightest sign of movement in my bed. Last night, I vividly remember holding her close, my arms wrapped around her tiny waist. So, it seemed impossible that she could have slipped. away without me noticing.
I reached for my phone, the screen flickering to life as I powered it on. It was a routine I followed, always careful to cover my tracks whenever I ventured outside. In less than fifteen minutes, a faint knock echoed through the stillness of my hotel room.
I paused, and my senses heightened as I cautiously approached the door. With every fiber of my being on alert, I carefully checked for any signs of danger before I even considered opening it.
“Good morning, Your Highness,” Scott, my beta, greeted me with a respectful nod.
“Find out everything that you can about the woman I slept with last night. Go to the bar and check all the cameras to see if she or anybody at the club put something in my drink,” I instructed him firmly.
“I’ll be right on it, Your Highness,” he answered promptly. “If you don’t mind me asking, is there something wrong that happened last night?” He asked with genuine curiosity.
“I slept soundly last night. The woman I was with managed to sneak out without my noticing. And we both know that it’s almost impossible to happen unless she does. something to me. Investigate her and figure out who she is working for,” I explained, my voice tinged with suspicion.
“I’ll have my men look into it urgently, Your Highness,” he assured me. “What about

your new bride, Your Highness? What are you planning to do with her?” Scott asked.
I almost forgot that today will be the day that the Moonlake Crest pack is going to send. their tribute. It has been a long-running tradition for Alpha within the territory of the royal family to send their daughters as a tribute to
among the land. In return, they’re going to be re re the peace and unity of packs
and protected by the royal
family in any case of danger, attacks from rogue wolves, and other threats. If they don’t submit, it will clearly mean a revolt against the royal lycan, which will eventually lead to the annihilation of their pack. Everyone was afraid to go against the Lycan king because that would only mean one thing to them: death.
1 never agreed to this, but tradition is tradition. I have no other choice but to live with it. I’ve accepted every bride they sent and fulfilled my duty until any of them could provide me with an heir. But all these years, no one has ever conceived an heir to the throne. It’s always been the pressing matter at hand.
“Do everything as usual. I have more important matters to take care of than to babysit a brat from another pack. Let Jane handle everything.” I ordered.
“Yes, Your Highness. I’ll inform Her Highness to make the necessary arrangements,” he answered. “Shall I also tell her to prepare the new bride for the first consumation?” he added.
“That won’t be necessary. I don’t think I’ll be coming home for the time being. I received a report about the series of rogue wolf attacks in the south. I’d like to see for myself and investigate who’s the real reason behind the attacks,” I said..
“Okay, Your Highness. I’ll ask the men to prepare for our departure.”
“On the contrary, I want you to stay here and look after everything while I’m gone. I can handle this alone,” I ordered him.
“As you wish, Your Highness,” he said, slowly bowing his head as a confirmation. “I’ll prepare the car now. We’ll be waiting outside, he added before taking his leave.
Once I finally got my much-needed silence after Scott left, I headed straight to the shower. As I made my way towards the bathroom, I caught a glimpse of the bed and the red stain on its sheet. And just like a movie, every steamy scene that happened last night on that same bed replayed clearly in my memories.
can still remember the feeling of her soft skin against my palm. Her warm breath was brushing against my ear as she moans loudly at my every stroke. The taste of her sweet juices on my tongue still lingers today. I was feeling a little disappointed when I woke up without her beside me. I have this sudden urge within me to claim her, own her, and ravish her again until she begs me to stop. And just with those thoughts alone, it was

more than enough to awaken my desire and set my body on fire, just like she id last night. I can’t help but chuckle as I stare at my growing excitement.
“I need a cold shower, I mumble to myself before I continue to walk to the bathroom.
