“Happy Anniversary!” Everyone in the room yelled as soon as they walked inside.“Aunt Queen!” Little Noreen ran towards Queen Noreen and She held her mid ways, hugging her. She was going to be three years in two months, but she was so smart that Noreen used to tell Candace that it was because she wa

Epilogue;Third person’s pov;Epilogue;Third person Pov;Three years laterAlpha king Harold and Queen Noreen both flung the covers over their heads and giggled as they breathed hard.“That was amazing,” She breathed out and giggled as she gazed into his eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.““Why?”“

“How touching,” I sneered, taking a slow step closer.Harold pulled her closer, away from me.“The dutiful mate protecting her cursed Alpha. Tell me, Noreen, does it feel good to play queen?”She didn’t reply. Instead, she clenched her fist tightly. “Leave now, Ian, while you still can.”I chuckled

Ian’s pov;I hadn’t heard from my mother in a long time, which was weird, considering the fact that we’ve been exchanging letters for a while now.I was glad that she understood me, glad that she had even helped me secretely.I was surprised when I heard that she was responsible for what happened t

Ian chuckled darkly as his eyes gleamed with hatred. "I’ve spent too long in your shadows, watching you take everything that should’ve been mine. The pack, the throne... even her." His gaze lingered on me and he smiled. I felt a wave of disgust. "You’ll never have any of it," Harold snapped. "Your

Noreen’s pov;The Name day and My coronation ceremony were moved to a later date and it was then that the Alpha revealed to me that he had seen a sorcerer who could break the hex, we didn’t need Ian to do that.We both agreed to have the both ceremonies after the curse had been broken, that way, it

The carriage screeched to a stop as we stopped in front of the manor. The gruelling two day journey had finally come to an end.I looked at the manor that had served as my humiliation ground, as the not so nice memories came to my forefront. I rubbed my arms together for warmth. Not to act unbothered, but I was very worried.How were they going to welcome me?With open arms or with scorned eyes?I couldn't tell.Caden glanced at me. “Are you ready?”He was much better than he had been the previous day. “You know you have me here.” He continued and I nodded. If I was a bit confused before, I wasn't anymore.He got out of his side, came down to open my own part of the door.We had stopped at the entrance of the village, to avoid the attention of some nosy pack members.Sophia came down, carrying my bag and hers, and together we walked to the gate.The gate looked the same.But I was not the same. I was not the same Aria Stonemore who had left, clothes torn and humiliated before almos

ARIA'S POV“They're here.” I said to no one in particular but it was too late. We were already surrounded.I knew my guts had been correct. They had been trying to test us, to see all the manpower we had and we had given them just that.And now? Now we had nothing to use as leverage.A masked man, one who I supposed was their leader, stepped forward. “We see you are still just as stubborn, Aria.” He said. His voice was disguised and his smell was tainted with something I couldn't place. Somehow, he still smelt familiar.“What do you want?” Caden asked. His voice was strong, devoid of fear.“You have been ignoring all the warnings that have been given to you in times past.” The leader continued, totally ignoring Caden and facing me.He waved his hands and his men advanced. The carriage door had been locked from the inside, but we knew that it was just a matter of time till they got to us.“Do you trust me?” Caden asked, his eyes looking into mine.I nodded, unsure of what to say. Of co

ARIA'S POV“Am I supposed to pack this as well?” Sophia asked with a slight frown. I knew I was putting her through a lot of stress but somehow I couldn't help it.We were going back to the pack I'd been humiliated almost all my life. And when I meant “we,” I meant Caden, Sophia and I.Sophia was still an option. I didn't know if we had space in the carriage to contain her.I sighed. “I think we should carry it as well.”It was going to be hard to make a choice on all the elegant dresses, Caden had gotten for me.And somehow, to be truthful, I wasn't in a fix on what type of dress to actually choose. I wanted them to know that the Aria Stonemore who had left, humiliated by almost all the pack, laughed at by the visitors who had come far and wide as a result of Alpha Talon's humiliation and the Aria Stonemore who had returned were completely different persons.I hadn't gained all of my self confidence but at the same time, I wasn't that awkward young girl who had been bullied by master

ARIA'S POVThe world felt thinner lately.The news had filtered to me. Caden's position as the leader of the pack was being threatened all because of me. I felt really guilty. Sophia had said that the elders had been dissatisfied with Caden's performance in the pack for a while and were just using me as a font to push him out. I'd also heard that he had stood his ground. According to the news that had gotten to me, Caden had said that he wasn't going to choose between his Luna and his pack. I couldn’t sleep.Not when Caden's position felt threatened in the pack. “Are you sure you can stay alone, my lady?” Sophia asked and I nodded. “I can.” I tried to reassure her. But could I? Not really.“Goodnight, my lady.” Sophia said bowing slightly before leaving the room. The night was going to be a long one, and I wasn't sure I had the mental capacity to stand it. ****I couldn't sleep. Everytime I closed my eyes, I saw them. The crying voices, the severed heads and the bloodied bodi

ARIA'S POVThe whispers had not stopped at all. Not one bit. Tongues had been wagging and I could sense the fear among the servants.Some of them were bold enough to make their whispers louder than normal. Some of them no longer looked me in the eyes.I was on my way to the dining hall to have breakfast when I passed by a guard.He bowed. But his bow was not one of deference. He was wary. The maids hovered round the room but immediately dispersed the moment they sighted me.I felt all alone. Even Maria who'd look at me, without bringing her eyes down hurriedly scurried out after serving breakfast.Caden had left the manor in a hurry, saying something in the sense that he needed to work on something at the pack.And so, I was all alone in the dining room.I looked up at Sophia. “Did…did I wake up with horns on my head?”She smiled. “No, my lady. It's just that they're a lot terrified.”I paused. The teacup mid way into my mouth. “How did they know?”She giggled. “News travels fast

ARIA'S POVI was dried up, but still very much energized. I really had powers. Training was not yet over. I really wanted it to be over so I would return to the manor and celebrate. I needed to. “Are you done resting?” Dylan asked. Caden had already returned to his duties. I nodded. “That's good, cause we still have to continue.” He said, standing up and motioning for us to go into the forest. “From what I've gathered, we still have a lot of work to do. And because we don't know what your powers are, we have to try out almost all the things.” I was confused. “Can't we just focus on the water for now?” I asked. He shook his head. “I'm using Paria's template for you, Aria. She was good with the water and she was also good with the sword. So I need to confirm if that's the same thing for you so we can know where to actually concentrate more on.” This was the longest Dylan had said to me since the beginning of the training. I nodded in understanding and together, we made our way
