GRINDA she kept stealing glances at him, he had this dark and sexy aura around him, and at the same time, he seemed to be vulnerable.Grinda bit the tip of her tongue and looked away from his piercing gaze. He was there when she woke up about an hour ago, and although she woke up to meet two young women in the room where she slept, Regulus was also there.He sat beside her and was glaring at her, immediately she woke up all the memories flowed like water without any restriction into her brain, she immediately knew what was happening.“So you mean, this tattoo means … I… er… I’m your mate, do we belong together?” she asked him again for the sixth time that morning, Regulus smiled and nodded in approval, still sitting opposite her on his bed.Grinda looked him over and over again, what's not to like about him, he's very handsome and rich! She giggled shyly as the thought slammed unconsciously into her, she quickly comported herself, and she caught him grinning seductively back at her.
CASPIAN Pulling his rough shirt over her chest, he glared in disgust as she chattered away, her voice was giving him a headache, his wolf sneered at him but he wouldn’t give in to his jest. The level of irritation he was feeling right now was poisonous to his soul, he knew that and she need to leave his sight before he hurt her, his whole body didn’t want to see her, they crave his fire! His rabbit… like he always calls her. Even after spending the whole night with his special whore, Joan wasn’t able to satisfy his burning desire, he thought about Tahlia all through, even when he was inside his whore.The tactics used to work before, at least he was able to survive those three years with his whores, the pain and frustration of not being able o reach or take her away since he found her to be his mate, he would vent them on his numerous who’re but now it seems to fail.“When am I seeing you again… tonight.. come to me” he heard her annoying voice again, she was twisting in the bed an
TAHLIA The two best friends could not get enough of each other, they kept on chatting and gisting. It’s over an hour now since they’ve seen each other and everything and everyone seems toEvaporate as they kept chatting away.Grinda was crying like a baby at first when she saw the unbelievably beautiful state that her friend was in, “you! Tahlia.. see your shiny crown… it’s made of real diamonds…” she touched it playfully and screamed dramatically. “Who would have thought you could be this happy?”Grinda asked in amazement, even after one hour of meeting each other, she still couldn’t keep her eyes off her friend.“Tahlia sincerely, there’s something about the mate stuff… your skin is glowing and the aura is so different… it’s like you’ve superpowers…! Tahlia almost spits out the drinks she just gulped, she dropped the almost filled glass cup of iced juice to join the other spread of delicious menu on the big expensive looking table and laughed at her friend's dramatic observation,
QUILLIONQuillion watched with a big smile and pride when he finally saw his little and adorable sister rush towards him with her arm widely opened, she almost fell from the stairs as she headed straight for him, the hug was very tight and she almost pushed him to the ground, but he was expecting it so he stood firmly and caught her.“Quillion!.., I can’t believe my eyes... it’s you!” she exclaimed, pinching his skin playfully, she rushed out of his warm hug and kissed him on the left chin, this caused Caspian to intrude into their family meeting, he cleared his throat very loudly and everyone immediately turned to him.Quillion bowed slightly, his smile stillIntact as he greeted his sister's new mate, he turned to greet Katherine too, it was then Tahlia noticed the little crowd that had gathered around them in the big entrance hall.Still holding her brother's hand, she dragged him Toward Katherine for a proper introduction, “First and foremost, Quillion you need to thank the prince
QUINCY “You cannot wear that… that annoying-looking coat, take one from the closet…, that’s why they gave us clothes … see, the wardrobe is filled with them, you fool!” Quincy shouted at her mate, who in turn glared and looked at her from head to toe in irritation and flung the coat at her with more force than necessary.He slumped on the bed and looked angrily at Quincy, he was fuming badly but he had no choice but to do her bidding all because of his love for her, “this plan is quack and it would get us in trouble … I promise you that”Quincy laughed hysterically at his comment but didn’t say anything more, she stood in front of the mirror and kept painting her face with the expensive makeup that was given to her, she chased all the maids away, telling them she could do her makeup by herself.In actual fact she had come with some love portions and was applying them to her face even as she used the makeup, she didn’t want anyone to know about that part of the plan, including her mat
CASPIAN He didn’t like her glare one bit and she looked so worried and anxious! She should be sitting side by side with him but since she joined them in the hall, looking all hot and sexy in her very tight and too short sumptuous glittery light blue stripe gown, she had been pacing the whole hall.Caspian followed her with his eyes everywhere as she moved from one corner to the other, he watched as she walked up to her sister and shared some very heated moments with her.He got jealous at once, she should be seated right close to him, without thinking, he blurted out loudly for everyone to hear, “he will join us soon… now! Let’s move into the order of the day”, the room grew silent immediately, as expected but what he wasn’t expecting was the suspicious and cold glance that was swung to his direction from Tahlia.She froze at first, like she was in deep thought, then she pursed her lips, before making her way to her seat, “finally” caspian thought to himself, he just wanted her situa
CASPIAN He dragged her gently away from the crowd and they walked together briskly far away from the hall where the party was now back in full gear. Once they were alone in a secluded room, he shut the door firmly behind them.“I swear to you… before you start yelling, I didn’t have anything to do with this, we reconciled this afternoon and he went to his room to get prepared for your rite” caspian explained at once, rushing out all the words, hoping she would believe him.She sighed and stumped her heels on the well-decorated floor, “so what are you implying? I asked Sam to check his room just now and he isn’t there… she informed me, that’s why I have been looking all around the hall… I swear if you had anything to do…”Caspian grunts in annoyance… “Let’s leave all this threat and look for him, something doesn’t feel right… also I wouldn’t hurt your brother and lie about it, you know me too well, I’m not scared of anybody.Tahlia thought about what he just said and seemed to agree w
CHAPTER 27 WITCH ABODE TAHLIA The whole place was filled with an unbearable smelly stench. On a normal day, Tahlia would have closed her nose so as not to breathe in such a disgusting smell but She couldn’t as She needed to breathe. “You will get used to it, don’t worry…also you won’t have to stay here for long, I need you for a special ritual” a weak and old voice whispered into her ears, Tahlia quickly turned in the direction of the voice and met with a haggard and scary looking old woman, she wasn’t alone after all!. The old woman was barely standing and even with a wooden stick she still looked like she was squatting, all her hair was almost gone and her teeth were nothing to say about, very disgusting and irritating, her skin was dry and looked like she had sores all over her body.The old woman watched with interest as Tahlia kept assessing her, without warning the old woman burst into laughter, it didn’t sound like she was laughing, her laughter sounded like very low cough
ALPHA CASPIAN POV Grinda and Tahlia shot out of their sitting position immediately the Lycan king walked into Grinda’s house, he couldn’t enter her bedroom so they had enough time to rush out of the balcony to meet with him.“I looked for you in your chambers and you weren’t there, I knew immmediately that you had come here after I warned you not to” that was the first thing the Lycan king spat at his wife; Tahlia.“I… I’m sorry, we couldn’t stay away from each other without knowing that we are fine… please … don’t punish me” she begged, clasping her hands tighter, the fear grew on her face and body at every second that passed.“It’s okay …. Go back to your apartment … I want to speak with Grinda … you should rest, don’t walk around yet” he responded, forcing his wolf to stay calm.Alpha Caspian was frowning but it was not because he was angry this time, it was because his wolf and darkness were forcing him to get mad at his wife again, and he didn’t want to, especially agter seeing
TAHLIA’s POV Immediately Grinda heard about Tahlia’s recovery she sent her maid to sneak in a letter to Sam, knowing fully well that Sam would deliver the message without getting caught; she loves Tahlia so much that she will happily take the burn if she even gets caught. “Don’t tell me to calm down … I haven’t seen my girl for days now, I’m worried… I can’t believe her husband would do that to her!” Grinda yelled angrily at the guard standing by the door.Beta Regulus; hee mate, had placed the young warrior there to keep her indoors and grounded as her punishment but she had successfully turned him into her gossip partner. Grinda had been fidgeting since her maid went on the crucial and risky errand, she would get caught, including the fact that she hadn't seen Tahlia for days now, all she knows is that Tahlia is better and back to her chambers.The young warrior rolled his eyes at her playfully, definitely enjoying the discussion, he quickly opened the door to stretch his head in
TAHLIA POV The queen mother wouldn’t leave Tahlia's bed side, she had been lying there for a few weeks now and it was getting worrisome, the king as well was distracted but had to be strong for his pack people's sake.“Take it easy…. Just rest your back here, finally you can be discharged .., ohoooo, my dear…. Welcome back” she beamed at Tahlia who smiled widely back at her.But almost immediately her smile waned away and a Worrisome frown replaced it, the queen mother already knew the cause of the immediate change in demeanour, Tahlia had remembered why she’s still in the hospital.“How’s Grinda … how’s she, hope she’s fine? …I totally forgot, please I would like to see her” the doctor who had just unplugged the drip from her hand gave the queen mother a knowing look who in turn gestured for the doctor to excuse them.Same with Sam and her other maid who had been with her for the past week, Sam in particular wouldn’t stop worrying, “you need to reduce the volume of your voice … and
QUINCY POV.“We started talking a few days ago and I’m getting out of here soon… I only came to tell you, maybe you will be interested in coming with me…'' Quincy was whispering in a hushed tone to Pascal but he was practically ignoring her intentionally and Quincy despised it when she’s not taken seriously.“I really appreciate your thinking and thoughts … but pleasseeeeeee… for the love of the moon goddess, you both should leave me out of this and I will advise you as well, stay away from Joan… you are still alive and breathing in this prison … that woman will make life terrible for you” he said back in response to the excited joan.His response affected her mood because when she spoke next there was no smile on her lips or excitement on her face anymore, “what’s wrong with you… ?.. aren’t you smart enough to beat a woman to her game…?… well if you think Joan can screw Me…, ask my sister if you are lucky enough to get out of here” she spat back at him.Anger and pride mixed toget
QUINCY The sound of pascal arrival jerked Quincy up and she jumped up from her slumber at once, there’s nothing much to do in the prison aside from sleep and eat the cold and unsatisfactory food brought to her and do menial labour and hard work which always wears her out.She looked out from her cage door and sighted Pascal briefly before he was pushed into his cage, although she didn’t know him on a personal level she had seen him with Katherine in the meeting hall when her father came to plead on her behalf.“How could you hurt your mate like that…?….” She didn’t wait to listen to the remaining conversation, that’s all she needed to lighten up the fire of her hopes, she knew she could as well use the dangling opportunity in front of her.She waited and leaned in her eyes closer to listen to more of their conversation, they didn’t know she was listening but her prison cage is right beside pascal, “I’m sure he doesn’t know me…. Hmmm it will be very difficult to get him on my side” Qu
PASCAL“I…. I… didn’t do it …. Joan! Why will you accuse me of all these!” I spat back at her, my eyes squinting at her, I was trying to give her our special code sign to cover up for me and I will in return help her.But I guess I had become useless to her, she eyed me furiously and looked away, tapping her foot restlessly onAlpha Caspian’s expensive tiled floor.Katherine had said her own part of the story and left me in a tight corner, same with Joan. The two women were smart and I wish I could lie effortlessly in the Alpha face like Joan Isdoing right now, so I strengthened my resolve and moved closer to the Alpha.“I didn't do all of these things Alpha caspian… Joan is a pretentious liar … I…” the guard who moved swiftly behind me forced me on my kneel before I could catch my breath, cutting off the lies coming out of my mouth.“You are dead!” Joan mouthed at me, instantly I knew I’m in trouble, I shook my head at my self pitifully, I couldn’t even dare look at Alpha Caspian, he
JOAN’s POV It was so easy for joan to deny all the allegations because Grinda and Tahlia weren’t there, Grinda was busy serving her punishment of being locked inside her apartment by her husband, He didn’t whip her like Alpha Caspian did to his wife. While Tahlia is fighting for her dear life, they were exactly where she wanted them to be and if all she had to do is sacrifice one foolish lamb to save her ass, she would do it over and over again.Alpha caspian was sweating prufeously under the cold weather, two air conditioner are in his office, yet he was panting and wet all over his black shirt, he haven’t stop pacing around his magnificent office since he summoned her few minute ago, it was begining to make her eyes turn, katherine sat there on a red leather couch, her eye fixed on the ground.“I didn’t do all of these things and you know it katherine, you are just jealous that your brother wouldn’t send me away and because he loves me, aren’t you Tahlia’s friend? Joan spat at kat
KATHERINE POV“Mother….she’s not waking up, she’s not breathing … please do something” Katherine was howling at the top of her voice, hitting her head fiercely with her hands like it could revive Tahlia.Her mother was by her side at once, eyeing her suspiciously, she had been doing since they all converged in Alpha Caspians’ chamber.“Mother, don't look at me like that… I swear it wasn’t my fault . Ohooo, I should have fought hard for them, I was pushed to the corner by that witch… it’s Joan's mother” Katherine found herself spitting out to her suspicious mother.“What does that joan has to do with what’s Happening to the luna of this pack? How can she hurt the queen…what have you girls done to annoy the Alpha? Ohoooo you girls want to killl me right? and … and where is grinda? I haven’t seen her. Queen Elaine kept shooting questions to the already disoriented and muddled katherine.Katherine was visibly shivering, from the corner of her eyes she sighted Pascal in her brother's tre
ALPHA CASPIANThe seventeenth whip tore through her back and he winced internally. He had been counting to distract himself, his heart hard and unforgiving as ever but her hurt and scream were getting to him every second.“Ahaaaaaaaa… I’m so…. Sorr…. Ahaaaaaa!” she screamed loudly again as the next one hit her hard, Alpha Caspian had ordered his guards to keep hitting her until he was satisfied.Of course he wasn't satisfied with seeing other people touch his mate, let alone hurt her but his demon was out and nobody could stop him now, not even his mother.“You slut! I will teach you how to stay in your place, have been soooo lenient with you, how dare you go out at midnight to the club! Without my knowledge!!” he barked again at her, his eyes never leaving her bloody and injured body. Grinda knelt beside her friend, wailing bitterly as she held her dangling legs and comforted her, as a gift to his best friend and Beta he didn't punish Grinda himself, instead he left that to him to d
