VENUSDaisy has a thoughtful look on her face before she replies. “Well, there are other packs who attack the royal pack to take over it. Sometimes, other kingdoms send spies or terrorists. There has been a rift between Eroz and our kingdom after Luna Mallory was arrested in the Silver Fang pack.” My eyes widen. That’s right. Mallory is the royal princess of Eroz. Of course her family won’t stay still after learning that their daughter was arrested. Did they send men to attack Maya? But why her? I remember Maya asking me to go shopping with her. Maybe she wasn’t the target. I was. It makes sense. Hypothetically, the men were informed that a pregnant royal woman was at the shopping mall. Since both Maya and I are pregnant, they thought Maya was the target. That’s why they attacked her. But why will one of the attackers place the blame on Rowan? I return home, thinking about the incident. The investigation will begin soon so I am hoping they’ll find something that will stop every
VENUS“Calm down, Thane. Blaming the King for a false accusation is a crime.” Nana warns him. Thane scoffs. “We found one of the men who attacked my wife. Turns out it was a royal warrior. After a few punches, he revealed the person who sent him.” He gives Rowan a bloodshot stare. My blood turns cold. The man who was interrogated took Rowan’s name? But why? Rowan narrows his eyes. “He’s lying. I have no intention to hurt your wife.” Thane starts laughing humorlessly. “Oh really? Yesterday, you literally threatened her just because she pushed your fiance. Sounds like you have enough motivation to hurt her.” The people around the table are shocked to hear it. “Is it true, Your Grace? Did you threaten Lady Maya?” Gerald asks with a look of disbelief. “It was a simple warning. She caused harm to Venus so I warned her that next time there will be consequences. That’s all.” Rowan says flatly. “Oh, but you didn’t wait for the next time, did you?” Thane accuses him. “You decided you’d
VENUSMaya blinks a few times and her face falls. “But I planned so many things. Can’t you postpone those affairs for today?” she asks. “I’m afraid not.” Her face turns hard. “Your Grace, are you avoiding me on purpose?” she asks. “You’re acting quite rude with me for no reason at all.” I narrow my eyes. “Bold of you to say that when you paid the waiter at my banquet to ruin my dress.” Panic flares across her eyes. “W-what? M-me? I..” she looks at Juhi. Juhi steps forward. “Your Grace, please refrain from putting such a huge blame on Her Highness. Just because you don’t like her doesn't mean you get to spread false rumors.” “False?” Daisy raises a brow. “The waiter was interrogated by the king. He confessed that it was Lady Maya who paid him to spill wine on Lady Venus’s dress.” Juhi’s eyes widen and Maya’s face turns pale. “H-he must be lying. He’s trying to frame me!” Maya yells, losing her composure. She grabs hold of my shoulders. “Please believe me, Your Grace. I wouldn’t
VENUS“It’s nothing to worry about but a premature bond between your wolf and pup can cause complications when you shift before your pregnancy.” My heart leaps into my throat. “What?!” “When you shift, your body goes through a lot of physical and hormonal changes. Usually, it’s not a big deal. But when a life is growing inside you, the rearrangement of the bones and the changes in hormones will affect the embryo’s development. It’s like when you rearrange a room, you have to move things around. Too much movement or pressure on your womb during that shift can cause complications.” My face turns pale. “W-will my pup be in danger?” “Don’t worry. These complications tend to happen in unshifted pregnant women so we can handle it. All you need to do is keep a nurse around you. Usually it's difficult to predict when you’ll shift so keeping one around will help you during that circumstance. Also tell someone to contact me as soon as you prepare for shifting. In case you don’t shift, there
VENUSAlex suddenly appears beside us. "Impressive." He glances toward Nana. "I think you finally have competition."Nana raises an eyebrow. "Competition? For what?""For delivering insults."Several people laugh. Nana immediately punches Alex in the stomach.Alex doubles over. "Ow!"The old woman looks completely unbothered. "And where were you all this while?""I was…working." Alex groans while clutching his stomach."You still have so much strength left in you, old woman. I’ll tell the King to assign you a position in the military."I smile on hearing their banter. The tension that had suffocated the ballroom earlier has completely disappeared.I glance across the room. Maya's smile looks strained. Beside her, Thane looks ready to strangle someone.Good.I reach for a glass of champagne from a passing tray. Then gently tap the side with a spoon.The ballroom slowly quiets and everyone turns toward me.I take a steady breath and smile. "My name is Venus Donovan. I come from the Iron
VENUSMy heart skips. One glance is all it takes for his eyes to widen slightly. His gaze finally lifts to mine. "I don’t have any words to describe what I see."My heart does an embarrassing little flip.Sid groans. "Get a room." The two women immediately walk ahead, leaving me with him. I look back at Rowan. “You were waiting for me?” He hums. “I wondered if you’re okay so I came to check.” "What if I wasn't fine and decided to not attend the party?" I ask quietly.He raises a brow and his answer comes without hesitation. "Then I'd stop the banquet." His hand finds mine. "I don't care about the banquet." His thumb brushes gently against my skin. "I care about you."Warmth spreads through my chest. The reason I had the courage to not give up is because of him. I know he won’t leave me alone in all of this and even if no one stands for me, he will. I squeeze his hand. “Let’s go.” We walk back toward the ballroom. The doors open and conversation in the hall dies instantly. A colle
ROWANVenus stares at me with a mix of anticipation and fear. She wonders what I’m about to say. I’m sure she has asked herself this question often : Why do I care so much about her? I don’t blame her. My actions would leave anyone perplexed. At times I wonder what I’m doing or why. Asgard shakes
VENUSWe go for two more rounds, Rowan bending my body into different positions until my body goes limp. I fall asleep almost the moment my head hits the pillow.When I open my eyes, pale morning light spills across the room, and my body feels heavy and drained, like I’ve run for miles in my sleep.
VENUSWhen I open my eyes, the first thing I see is the full moon shining in the inky night sky. Cold air makes my body shiver. I bolt upright, my head pounding as I take in my surroundings. I'm lying on the forest floor, my vision blurred and hazy. I try to stand, but my legs feel weak and shaky
VENUSWhen I open the door, Bronze is standing right outside, an envelope clutched in his hand.The moment his eyes land on me, his brows lift sharply. His jaw tightens, like he’s noticed something he doesn’t like.“Are you with someone right now?” he asks, his voice suddenly serious.My heart stut
