“Is Hope all dressed up?” I was standing in front of the mirror, watching the hairdresser set my hairstyle with a diamond crown on my head. My wedding dress was designed for royalty; it was a long white dress decorated with white gemstones for a Luna Queen. It was way heavier than I thought it would be, but it was all fine. At least better than wearing a mask like others. Vanessa was my bride’s maid and wearing a peach pink long gown, looking all elegant too.
“Everything is ready. I will just have to go out and receive that as*hole,” as she mentioned Desmond, my mood changed. I didn’t want the wedding to be all about him but it was the one last war that I needed to win.
“I am so sorry,” she instantly acknowledged what she has done but I don’t blame her. In fact, I have more to speak to her about.
“Nessa! Can you bring Rick here?” I requested to see him after dismissing everybody else.

The after-party started right away but we had our own little fun planned. I saw Nessa walking behind Desmond, who was angrily trying to get away from her. The two stopped after she held his hand and stopped him from leaving.Silas, Rick, and I had followed them but didn’t come forward to announce our presence. They were standing near the trees to talk, while we stayed behind the bushes to wait for them.“I thought you said he was going to reject her?” he yelled at Nessa, not realizing he was outing himself.“I was wrong! But why does it seem like you are so mad about this?” she inquired, feeling confident once she noticed we were there to help us if he tries to do anything.“I am not mad; it is just--- I was worried for the poor girl the whole night. You got me worried for nothing,” he shouted once he couldn’t come up with an explanation to his behavior.“It doesn’t seem like that though,&
When your luck is bad, you find an excuse to screw yourself over, no matter how careful you are. The morning breeze wasn’t very fresh and calming that day. It felt like a million needles were inserted into my muscles. I pulled my skirt down unintentionally when the wind caused my skin to shiver. I tried changing sides, but the sore part of my body was the only part I could stay lying down on. "Ehh!" My lips let out a sigh of pain when I closed my arms on my chest. "Umm!" I groaned, forcing my eyelids open. The very first thing in the view was not the windchimes by my window that I usually wake up to. It was a window of a building on a crumbled plaster wall. It took me a second, but I somehow managed to acknowledge that I wasn’t in my comfortable king-sized bed, but on a goddamn road. "What the heck!" the shock made me pull my body up, so I was sitting and look around at the surroundings. "I slept here." I asked myself out of disbelief. I slept on a street with a dumpster. I began t
I hadn’t been able to process through the turn of events after finding out that The Alpha King was my mate.I wish I could just stop there without adding that my mate tossed me out of the car after stealing my virginity in the most uncomfortable way possible.“I am only 18!” I complained, sitting on the stool and watching my image in the dressing table’s mirror. I was basically a few months over 18 but the Alpha’s kids were not allowed to lose their virginity before they have found their mate and have marked each other.It’s been a few days and I wasn’t able to get a hold of Mr. Silas Charming or anyone from his pack. I just needed a moment to speak to him and ask him did he not feel the mate bond?“Ugh!” covering my face in my hands, I let my lips heave a sigh of exhaustion. My pack was celebrating Roxanne Whitlock’s 19th birthday today and obviously, I didn’t get the invite. I
“Huh! I have told him million times that a rouge’s daughter will always be a rouge. She will scar his reputation someday but he never listened to me,” Tessa was growling and hitting my head repeatedly after she had blasted the bomb on me. It had been a few hours that I passed out after getting the news and woke up way later to her scolding me again.I am pregnant?“Just wait till I tell your father how big of a nasty dirt you are to his name,” she grabbed the test to sprint out and tell dad everything. For a moment, I couldn’t decide if I should follow her and beg her to not do that or just tell her some crazy story about how I got pregnant?“Please wait!” I almost tripped on the table, rushing before her and closing the door to block her from leaving, “please don’t do this. Dad has always loved me and supported me, he will be so disappointed, please!” I begged when her eyes glare at me for preven
The next few days were weird; I was pregnant without any care. I had to pretend like everything was fine by dancing around and doing my normal routine stuff. There were times when I threw up in the school but thankfully, Esa was there to come up with an excuse. I have not told her about my pregnancy, she just thought I was having digestion problems.“Rick Wards!” I mumbled in my mouth, scrolling through his profile on my laptop. He was the Royal Beta of the Reckless Growlers Pack, the Alpha King Silas Charming’s Royal Beta.‘We should contact him,’ I whispered to Icy,‘Do you think he will care?’ she asked back, her agitation had been on the rise now. He was our mate and had got us pregnant, now he needs to come here and mark us so that we can live a respectful life before the truth about my pregnancy hits the news.‘He has to, we are his mate,’ I comforted her with the idea of the true mates not being
She hadn’t said a word and left my room like she had seen a ghost. I don’t even care if she believed me or not, it just gave me a bit of satisfaction to think she won’t be able to hurt me or my child if the Alpha King himself accepts me and marks me. Nobody would know if he had marked me before getting me pregnant or after us mating, so it will be a win-win situation for us.I didn’t do anything afterward and fell asleep right away only to wake up in the morning at my stomach growling.‘Our baby needs food and good rest,’ Icy spoke to me when I was getting ready for breakfast.‘I know, just two minutes,’ I replied, applying lipstick and checking my image one last time in the mirror.‘Octavia! You can’t act like that with a baby in your womb. Your first priority should be the baby,’ she argued back again. I know I was pregnant but what do I do now? I cannot stop living so I have to take care
"You want me to abort the baby?" I was surprised that my father even suggested something like that."You want to keep this baby?" the looking father gave me was enough evidence that he wouldn't ever allow it.It wasn't even about being a pregnant teen anymore, this was my and my mate's baby, I cannot abandon our baby."Thi---s is my mate's baby," I stuttered while placing a hand on my belly. Although they can't see it now, I can already feel the presence inside me."I cannot believe you had this in you this entire time and I didn't see it," it was my father saying those words for me. There was only one person who had made me believe in myself ever since I started understanding things and that same person wasn't even ready to hear me or understand me.
"What is she doing here?" my father was the first one to volunteer to question my existence. I espied everybody getting on their feet to witness the arrival of a girl, who was not supposed to be present among them.I have quickly passed a glance around to see the Alpha King Silas Charming accompanied by Rick Wards, who was the Royal Beta of him.Silas was breathtaking, I could not believe I have made a baby with him let alone having him as my mate.
The after-party started right away but we had our own little fun planned. I saw Nessa walking behind Desmond, who was angrily trying to get away from her. The two stopped after she held his hand and stopped him from leaving.Silas, Rick, and I had followed them but didn’t come forward to announce our presence.

“The question is where is he hiding and why?” Rick was the one to question since everybody else was just silently sitting around the phone and looking at his caller ID.We have called Silas home, who hadn’t sat down ever since he had found out about Desmond contacting Vanessa. He was breathing like a bull and walking back and forth around us.“Because I took everything back from him,” Silas muttered whilst not stopping. At this rate, he would have traveled the world even if he had taken breaks. He had been working up his poor feet like that would solve the problem.“When?” Rick inquired, stealing eyes from us because he knew even I wasn’t told anything about what happened to Desmond.“Okay!” Silas gave a little rest to his crazy walk and took a deep breath in to speak up, “after I made him rich, I attempted to contact him back again,” he finished as if he knew there will be some quest
It's been a few days and we were busy preparing for the wedding. Hope was the happiest one and so was I, Silas had proven to be a completely different person from the past.Tomorrow was the wedding and we were still busy sorting out office work, but at least we were trying. The masquerade wedding was Hope’s idea, she wanted to dress up like a princess and wear a mask just like the rest of the guests and pretend it to be a fairy tale. Silas and I would be the only ones to not wear a mask. I didn’t interrupt her because I was happy with whatever made her happy.He was the one helping me and Hope with everything. Rick has returned and taken his status as the Royal Beta of the pack.I would join the office with Silas every day to not be just a home at staying Luna Queen because I have spent years learning to fight so I couldn’t just throw it all away."I was working on these files about the borders when the whole insane Roxanne thing happene
Silas slowly walked towards the bench and sat down on the bench with me. His strong and refreshing scent hit my nostrils and I smiled a little. “What?” he politely asked, feeling awkward due to my reaction. I responded to him, I only shook my head and we both went silent for the next minute. "I can't believe you went through so much," Silas and I were sitting with our eyes stuck in space while my father and Rick were in the mansion. "It was all worth it, that nightmare helped me understand something," I lowered my face to focus on my fingers to distract myself from looking at him and melting right away before I could even say anything else. "Before going to that cabin, I didn't accept your marriage proposal because I held so much resentment towards you that I couldn't see past the truth," I started talking and spilling what I had been keeping in my heart for too long. The good thing was that he was silently listening to me without adding anyth
Tessa had stabbed her own daughter in haste when she thought she was attacking me. Everybody was now silent at the outcome of Roxanne’s jealousy of me."Roxanne!" Tessa's body shuddered when Roxanne collapsed on the floor without any delay.Silas wrapped his arm around me and covered Hope with his other arm as we watched Tessa get on net knees and cry like a wounded she-wolf.Hope was sobbing while not being able to pull away from me."My daughter!" she screamed, holding her daughter's dead body in her lap and shedding tears. Now she understood what it is like to see someone you love so much in pain?“Roxanne! Wake up. I didn’t mean to,” she was bawling her eyes and screaming, her voice was going to haunt us forever.“Hope! Look at me,” I got on my knees to cup Hope’s face in my hands, “we will leave now, okay?” I wanted to take her out of here so that she doesn’t have to listen to
“Octavia!” Silas smiled while I expected him to be mad at me, to yell at me. I bet Roxanne had shown him the video and probably made it seem like I have run away from him but he still smiled in contentment.“Silas!” after so many years of suffering and accusing each other either under the control of some stupid blue rose or by misconception, saying his name didn’t only contain tears in my eyes but also love for him.“My Octavia!” he corrected himself and my heart skipped a beat, everything turned blurry while his image stayed bright in my view.I can only thank the nightmare to make me forget the past and move on, I was desperate to accept Silas and get accepted by him. our moment of reunion was interrupted once I acknowledged the person behind him was equally shocked to see me.“Rick!” Silas looked shocked and it definitely took him a moment to recognize him.“You are back!” Roxanne
“So do you remember losing from me,” I smirked weakly because I don’t even know what she was capable of. I watched her show her face and I realized I wasn’t wrong.She was probably in her 50s but looked way older than her real age because of all the animosity she had carried in herself throughout the years.“And I was right! You do have all the qualities of your mother. Beautiful, smart, and a bi***!” she grunted, appearing in front of us with her lips blaring hate. The light stuck in her hand was now tossed to the side without any concern of anything catching fire.She was wearing a black dress and holding a silver knife in her hand. I know she had come to either shove us back in there or just finish us.“You wasted your years to get back to my mother and this was your master plan?” I scoffed to annoy her, getting a rise out of your enemy helps you in distracting them. Anger and rage do not work for everyon
“You call it a mistake?” I closed my eyes to calm my nerves down. Rick’s gentle touch around my wrist helped me hold my emotions in for now.“That was all her fault, she was being too reluctant to someone who truly loved her,” Mavi raised her voice in defense of her son, she was the reason her son never understood the fine line between right and wrong.“He forced himself on her out of rage after she passed out. Instead of being understanding of his frustration, she told Abel about it and cried a river to make my son look like a monster. She didn’t even think twice that her friend made a mistake and oh! She shouldn’t have drank anything if she was such a pure soul. That stupid bond they shared made Abel to give the power of punishment to the hands of Martha, who asked my son for an open battle without any powers. She fu*king killed my son because her ego was too big,” she finished and I urged to throw up. There
