Series 

“Aarya, what happened?” the panicked voice of my best friend called out. 

I turned to see Sophia rushing over to me with a terrified look on her face. She sat down next to me, and I watched as her eyes trailed over me, as if she was checking that I was okay.“I have no idea what is wrong with my wolf. She was so angry that I nearly shifted. I had to get out of there.” I sighed. 

“What? Your wolf has never been like that,” Sophia exclaimed. 

“I know, I know. That‘s why I‘m so confused. She seems to be calm now though,” I replied. 

Sophia looked at me warily. “Are you sure you want to go back inside? If your wolf is acting weird, maybe you should go back.” 

I shook my head. “No, I can‘t do that. I came here with Carter, and it looks bad on the pack if I leave, I feel fine now.” 

Standing up, I smiled to prove my point, Sophia was still weary as we walked toward the palace. In all honesty, so was I, but I didn‘t want to worry anyone. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

As soon as we entered the palace, Carter rushed over to me and looked at me to see if I was hurt. 

“Are you okay? You‘re not hurt?” Carter looked worried. 

I smiled and shook my head “I‘m fine, Carter, honestly. I just needed – some fresh air. I feel a lot better now.“. 

Carter looked at me unconvinced but nodded his head nevertheless, Sophia cleared her throat. “I need to go to Luke. The king will be arriving soon. Carter, look after Aarya.” 

She walked away, and I turned to Carter, who was holding hands with Diya. I smirked. 

“Wow, mates with my cousin, hey?” 

“She‘s my mate, your luna now,” Carter said smugly. 

“Before she‘s my luna, she is my cousin, dumbass,” I replied. r 

“That‘s true, I am,” Diya responded, smiling at me. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

“Hey, you‘re meant to be on my side,” Carter protested. 

“Sisters before misters.” I stuck my tongue out. 

“You two are arguing like children,” Niya laughed. 

“It‘s your sister. She started it.” Carter rolled his eyes. 

“And that is something that a child would say. Take responsibility for your actions.” I raised my eyebrows. 

“Whatever,” Carter mumbled, causing us three to laugh. 

I stuck by Carter and my cousins. We didn‘t spend long talking as the crowds quieted down. I glanced up and saw a lycan standing there, waiting for silence. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

Above us was a balcony with two thrones; this would be where the king and Savanah would be sitting, 

For some reason that didn‘t sit well with me or my wolf. I didn‘t want to risk my wolf going crazy, so I quickly thought about something else. 

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming here today, On behalf of the king, I welcome you to the Lycan Ball. I hope this will be an enjoyable evening for you all. Very shortly, the king will be joining us, and he will be accompanied this evening by Savanah Willows.” 

I watched as the man tried not to cringe after saying Savanah‘s name. 

My eyes found Sophia and Luke, who also looked super uncomfortable. My wolf suddenly stirred again, the anger building up. 

Oh no, not again. The king was coming, I couldn‘t afford to lose control. 

To distract myself. I found Hunter and Lana, who were holding hands, and I watched as Hunter kissed Lana on the cheek. 

Even though I hated seeing that, it was the only think that distracted my wolf, so she calmed down. 

“I can‘t wait to see the king,” Diya gushed One 

“The king has a certain aura about him that makes everyone want a glance of him,” Carter said. 

A certain aura? Maybe my wolf desperately wanted to see the king then? No, that didn‘t add up. I was certain I was going to go crazy before this night was over. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

There was no time to dwell on that fact as everyone suddenly went quiet yet again. Guards came and stood on the sides. 

The king was coming. 

I clutched Niya‘s hand just as the announcer shouted, “Introducing his Royal Highness, King Adonis Dimitri Grey, accompanied by Savanah Willows.” 

I watched in awe as the king confidently walked past the announcer Everyone bowed, and I followed suit, my eyes glancing up to see his dark brown hair that was styled to perfection. 

He nodded to the crowd and sat down on his throne, his cape pooling around him. 

My gaze snapped to Savanah, who was behind the king. She was about to sit down on the second throne but was stopped by the king. 

I watched as Savanah‘s face dropped slightly as the king motioned for a guard. The guard escorted her to stand next to the king instead. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

My eyes found their way to the king‘s hair again, and I found myself thinking what it would be like to run my hands through it. 

My eyes widened, and I tore my gaze away. Jeez, Aarya, stop thinking dangerous thoughts, it won‘t end well. 

Instead, I looked at my shoes. That was a safe bet, couldn’t do anything to embarrass myself by looking at my shoes. 

“OMG, look what the king is doing?” Niya whispered to me. 

No, Aarya, don‘t look, I told myself. Don‘t do it, you‘ll regret it. 

Urgh, damn it, I couldn‘t help myself. I glanced up to see the king sniffing the air. 

Well, that was not what I expected to see. What in the world was he doing? Savanah was looking at him weirdly, but the king clearly didn‘t care. 

In a split second, his hazel eyes connected with mine, and I gasped. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

Holy shit, I had never seen eyes that beautiful before. I was lost in them, 

The king quickly stood up, causing me to jump out of my trance. Oh no, please tell me this wasn‘t happening. 

My wolf was jumping up and down, and I knew exactly what that meant, but that didn‘t mean I wanted it. 

As the king stood up, the crowd began to push past me as they went toward him. Clearly they thought he was going to greet them. His hazel eyes never lost mine, his gaze was firmly locked onto me.
