Regina’s POVI woke up from slumber with a splitting headache and found myself in a back of a truck.The memory from before I passed out came back to me gradually. And I remembered. Nigel abducted me. He and Gavin knocked me over with a stick and took me away.I tried to sit up. And then I found that both of my hands and feet were tied up with ropes. There was also duct tape on my mouth, keeping me from crying out for help.I also got a bitter taste in my mouth. Probably wolfsbane. To prevent me from shifting.I used my knees and elbows to crawl forward and approached the truck's back door. The door rattled as the car drove forward and there was a crack between the doors.I narrowed my eyes and peeked through that narrow crack.We were driving down a freeway.It didn’t seem anywhere I had been to before. The roadsides were lined with brown and withered vegetation. Everything seemed bleak and deserted. There weren’t any buildings within my sight.I had no idea where we were going.For
Regina’s POVAfter my failed attempt to escape, Gavin and Nigel started to keep an even closer eye on me.They would take shifts watching me in the back while the other one drove the car upfront. The rope on my feet was changed to iron cuffs with a chain, which had one end anchored to the floor.And they kept the duct tape on my mouth the whole time in case I might cry for help. The only time I could have my mouth free was when I had my meals.I didn’t have any appetite. They suspected me of going on a hunger strike so Nigel forced me to eat with a dagger. My head would get dizzy every time I ate the food that they gave me. There might be wolfsbane or sedative in it.The restroom situation was also terrible.They wouldn’t let me get off the truck and use the toilet in the gas station. When I asked to go pee for the first time, Nigel gave me a bucket and asked me to do it in front of him.“Right here? In front of you? Can’t you at least give me some privacy?” I asked in disbelief after
Regina’s POVI didn’t know this man.But there was something about him—probably his large body figure and the way he stared at me right now—that told me that he was dangerous.We locked eyes for a few seconds before I turned on my heels and ran!Yet I didn’t make it a few feet far before a large hand caught the back of my collar and dragged me backward.A horrified scream almost escaped my mouth, but he clamped my mouth shut and warned me with a dark voice, “Quiet.”Fear and anger seized my heart. I was so close to escaping…And I could feel Gray’s presence nearby. Why! Why did God do this to me? This wasn’t fair!I struggled with all my might against that man’s iron grip. But he was too strong. He could easily have me restrained with one hand.Keeping me close to him, he heads back towards the waiting room and bumps right into Nigel coming out of the lady’s room.There was an irritated look on Nigel’s face. And that irritation was quickly replaced by shock when he saw us.“What the—”
Regina’s POVI had never met with Shadow Valley’s Alpha before.All I knew about this man was that he was an extraordinary pack leader. Under his reign, Shadow Valley pack grew rapidly in the past few years. Although it was still not as strong as Ever Moon Pack, it still got some worldwide recognition.As Hover and Nigel escorted me into the manor, I kept wondering why Shadow Valley’s Alpha wanted to meet me this urgently. He summoned me as soon as I arrived, as though he couldn’t wait for another night.Maybe he wanted to trade me for something.He would probably ask Grey to cede Ever Moon’s territory to Shadow Valley in exchange for me.If that was the case, I would rather he just killed me right now. I couldn’t bear with that kind of humiliation as Ever Moon’s princess.The room they brought me into was large and brightly lit, with a long table in the middle. This seemed like a dining hall.I took my seat by the table while waiting for the Alpha to show up. The wait was painful. Be
Regina’s POVAnger was pumping through my veins like hot lava.This man…Shadow Valley’s Alpha Torres…he thought of me as a birth machine! I was not even a human being in his eyes, just a fucking tool that could help him take Ever Moon Pack!With a furious roar, I went at Alpha Torres. But he stopped me easily with just one hand, and I was thrown to the ground.He was a strong Alpha. I didn’t stand a chance in front of him.My back hit the wooden floor harshly. I felt that all my organs were turned upside down inside of me. There was a rusty taste of blood in my mouth.“Forget it…”I raised my head shakily and glared at him in rage, my lips trembling.“I won’t let Nigel touch me…He won’t be able to lay a single finger on me! No baby. NO! You better give up on this stupid idea right now!”Alpha Torres looked down at me. There was even a hint of pity in his eyes.“Oh, darling. I know this is too much to take in. But just like I said…” he smiled, “…You don’t have a say in this.”“My broth
Regina’s POV“W—What princess? I don’t understand…”Melany stuttered in panic.“This is my daughter-in-law, Regina…She is no princess. Just a goddamn orphan that my son brought home a year ago…Maybe you had the wrong person, Sir Hover…”I breathed out a long sigh.I was suddenly tired of listening to Hover going over the same story that he told Angel a moment before, explaining to them that I had kept my identity a secret and that I was actually Ever Moon Pack’s Alpha’s sister.Honestly, what difference did that make?He could tell them that I was a princess all he wanted, and he could force them to respect me, but that didn’t change the fact that I was really just a prisoner here.“Hover…Don’t,” I muttered.He looked at me, “I can make her apologize to you, Princess Regina.”“Oh yeah?” I let out a sarcastic laugh, “But can you set me free? And give me my freedom back? A true princess doesn’t deserve to have her hands tied up behind her back.”He stood on his spot stiffly in silence.
Regina’s POVNigel slipped his hand into my shirt and worked it all the way up to cup my breast.My stomach swirled with disgust as he did that.I would rather be licked by a snake than have him touch me.“Look at me…” he breathed heavily with a grin, “I am fucking a godman princess… fate really treats me well…”No, you wouldn’t.I said icily internally.I wouldn’t let you have it.He bent down to kiss me on my lips. Yet I avoided him.“I want you to please me,” I said in a condescending sort of way. “With your tongue.”He froze.And then he burst out laughing abruptly, “Wow you really know how to boss people around, don’t you? But I have got to say…you look pretty hot like this.”He moved his hands to my jeans and undid the buttons.“Anything you want, Your Highness.” he grinned and buried his head between my legs.And that was the moment I had been waiting for.I abruptly lifted my legs off the bed and wrapped them around his neck and clamped! He parted his lips to gasp but I didn’t
Regina’s POV…Did I want to know?Did he even need to ask?!“YES!”I cried, half-anxious and half-excited, and grabbed Hover’s hand urgently, “How is he? How is Gray? Tell me!”I could still remember the way Gray looked at me when we last saw each other, the way his back gradually disappeared into the distance when he left for the border.We hadn’t had time to talk about that kiss yet.If I knew that it was my last chance, I wouldn’t agree to wait for him to come back to talk.Hover smiled faintly, “He is fine. Alpha Gray is still at the border. But I think that he has heard about the news of you missing.”“Then has he tried looking for me?” I asked eagerly.“No. Your mother let everyone believe that you eloped with Nigel.”…Connie.I clenched my fists angrily.I knew that she was behind that kidnap!I didn’t know why yet but apparently he wanted me gone.“Even so, Gray will come and find me.” I said firmly, “He knew that I had made up my mind to leave Nigel. He would see that there w
