Roxanne's POV:
I have reached home at midnight and was welcomed by my mother at the doorstep.“Take her stuff back to her room,” mother ordered the guards, eyeing them to not delay. I had been holding my tears in for hours ever since I sat down in the car but once I had to step back into my house, I felt back to being zero.“It is all over?” I asked my mom in tears, rushing in her arms to cry on her chest. I was a loser to achieve everything and then lose it.“It is not. You still have one last plan, the plan we worked on all these years,” My mother patted my back to comfort me. “It was bound to happen. I cannot believe you have ruined your daughter’s life like that,” father has heard about my arrival and even when he was a little late to receive me at the door, he made sure the first thing he does is to taunt mother. I broke the hug and looked his way with mist-covered eRoxanne's POV:Flashback:I haven’t been able to think about anything else after Rick told me that he knew we were mates. I didn’t stay behind to have a word with him, instead, I rushed past him like a mad woman and took the car back home.“Roxanne!” my mother must have seen me as I sprinted inside the mansion; panting and nervously pinching my fingers.“What happened? You went to see Silas, did he say something?” she stopped me in the hallway and made me look at her face to answer her.“I--- I met--- my mate there,” as soon as those words escaped my lips, a smile covered my mother’s lips.“What? you are happy?” I slapped her hand off of mine and stepped back from her. I was shocked to see her happy because I didn’t want any other mate, I only wanted Silas even if he loses the crown or his business.“My silly daughter!&rdquo
Octavia’s POV:I had been in the cabin for a whole day now and the man hadn’t spoken a word ever since. I believe he had some food on his corner but he didn’t do much of it. He would hardly move after hours, making me think he had lost all these hopes of ever getting out of here.“You know!” I cleared my throat as I rested my head back against the wall, “I have a little daughter who might be crying sick for me,” just the thought of Hope being in pain and missing me shook my heart inside my chest.I waited for him to say something but he didn’t utter a word, “I know you have been here for a very long time and you must have tried to escape in the beginning and all the failed attempts had made you think you can never leave this place, but that isn’t true. We must keep trying and get the heck out of here before we lose our mind completely,” I kept talking in hopes of him responding to
"You are the Royal Beta?" I was still in shock that I have found who I aimed to look for before Roxanne trapped me here."The! That is a good start," he let out a little laugh but it was covered with sadness. I couldn’t imagine living like this and he survived so many years, talk about a real warrior.I thought it was time that I too tell him who I was. I am pretty sure he remembers me from the great dinner where I accused his alpha King of slipping something in my drink and getting me pregnant."Rick! It's me, Octavia!" as soon as I introduced myself, he moved completely behind the curtain. I could only imagine his surprise; Roxanne hadn’t only caged him but her own sister as well."What?" He let out a gasp filled with shock as he decided to come forward and show himself to me.Finally, he removed the curtain and watched my face in shock. I was surprised to see him, he was much weaker and thin with a long beard and long hair. He was ba
After telling him everything about the Blue Rose, I was waiting for Rick’s reaction. Maybe he will scream, angrily or cry for thinking Silas never cared about him. So I waited, and waited!“Rick?” I asked him after he didn’t respond for the first few minutes, “Rick! What are you thinking?” I was beginning to worry now that his eyes were stuck in space and every little emotion had escaped his face.“Hm?” he shook his head, finally coming out of his thoughts and answering me.“What are you thinking?” I asked, fixating my eyes on his face.“About what?” he cocked his face to the right and asked me in bewilderment.“Rick! I told you about the Blue Rose, Silas was under some spell of the Blue Rose. She used it on me but I remember bits and pieces of her telling me things and I followed her words without any thoughts of my own,” I stated everything and found him los
“Okay, I will do that but what about you two? How long have you been stuck here for?” she asked in a concerning voice. I passed a glance to Rick, who looked lost as if he had no idea what was happening.“Some years for him and probably a few days for me,” I replied, hoping I could see the woman helping us.“That is brutal, who even does that?” she looked shocked that somebody had managed to cage the two powerful creatures after the Alpha King.“Have you two eaten anything?” she asked in worry, making me shake my head as if she could see me.“I haven’t,” I replied, “I have filled the bottle with the water from the well but it tastes bitter,” I recalled the taste and cringed instantly.“It is pure water,” she said, “eat the apple or you will start getting detached from your wolf,” as she said those words, my eyes landed on Rick. So he had stopped eat
I felt his hands tightly wrapped around my face as he tried deepening the kiss. I didn’t let him go past two seconds as this is how much time it took me to react.“Rick!” I pushed him back and the next thing know, I slapped him to the ground.“Argh!’ he gurgled blood out, passing out the very moment he hit the ground.“UGH! you fool,” I shouted at him, slapping my forehead and then cleaning my lips, “Why am I even angry at him? It is not like he remembers anything. He just thinks I am some savior, who is trying to save him,” I grunted as I got on my feet and shook my head.‘Yet you slapped the poor guy,’ Thank goodness, Icy spoke.‘Icy! Where the heck have you been?’ I asked in shock, ‘You know how badly I needed you?’ I groaned, watching Rick and not knowing how to help him now.‘Well, I have been caged in silver chains so definitely it was going
I fell asleep after I heard Silas’ voice, he had arrived for us and now there was no fear left in my heart. I started waking up after a few hours and found myself in a bed.“Ahmm!” I yawned, stretching my arms around and looking in the direction of the window that was the only source of the light coming into the room. The room seemed pretty small but familiar, I frowned when I turned my side and watched the other side of the room, it looked empty too.“Where am I?” I tried to speak but my voice was pretty rough, even coughing a little didn’t help. I don’t remember Silas’ bedroom looking like this, then what exactly was this place and why did it look so familiar?“AHHH!” as my brain picked up what this place was, I let out a gasp and jumped out of the bed in fright. My body felt numerous needles stuck to it as I looked around and focused on the walls.“It is our old house,” I ran into
After our argument, he stormed out of the room and I didn’t follow him either. He hadn’t done a very good job for me to try to convince him that it wasn’t like what Roxanne had pictured my runaway to be. The fact that he took his anger out on my poor daughter was making me go crazy. If only I could get out of here and leave him, I would do it but I know I can’t do this alone, he has to step up and bring my daughter back to me.After hours of angrily strolling across the room, I decided to go out of the bedroom and look for Rick. It will be a very tricky situation to see him and even communicate with him when Silas thinks we cheated on him but I didn’t care what Silas wants anymore. he had let me down so he had no place to question me.The apartment seemed just as we have left it. The markings near the door that Hope used to make us do to check if she has grown brought tears to my eyes.I didn’t know Desmond wanted Hope more th
