ADDI AFOREMAN'S POVAs much as complementing to my personality, I really do not like meddling with other people's lives. I rather keep my mouth shut and continue living mine but this one...This is Caroline's life, my bestfriend's life that we are talking about. I do not think that I can stay silent with this.~~~"What's that on your hand?" I asked while looking at the crumpled paper. His expression does not seem so appropriate. He looks like someone who can murder someone anytime. His eyebrows were meeting between his upper nose space and the way his fist were balled in tight fist. He looked at me sharply. I tilted my body to look where he has come from. It was from Caroline's room. I look up on him. "What did you do in her room?"His gaze met mine. "Is it one of my responsibilities to tell you what is going on with my life? I do mot think so, Ms. Aforeman." Confirmed.Lexus is not in the mood, he has never called me by my surname and I do not remember this tone. "Oh, I see. How
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV"Lexus wants you.""But dad, we already cut ties and as far as I can remember, it was his choice to reject me. Why is he bothering me right now? I am trying to live my life."My dad blew a heavy sigh and my aunt just crossed her hands but then later on lifted a coffee. We all acted stress and worried about this. I look at my dad, helplessly. I know for a fact that Lexus negotiated with my dad with this matter and my dad must have been having a hard time getting in between me and his Alpha. "The alpha of this Kingdom is not officially married to his supposedly wife because his surname was not on her name."...shoot, how can I forget about that crazy rule. Once werewolves got married in this realm, it should be a must that the woman will carry her husband's surname because if not their marriage is considered to be weak and can be easily changed. I mustered the courage to utter words without stuttering. "Dad. He rejected me. I got bullied because people claime
LEXUS ARENDELLE.I heard that her father came back home. Uncle Arthuro. Uncle Arthuro is the adoptive father of Caroline. However, I never saw Uncle treated Caroline like anyone. He actually acknowledge her as his daughter. I wanted to propose something to him. I need to do something. It reaches me that Caroline's line of suitors are getting longer day by day and I cannot stand those guys trying to take a chance.Legally, I am still a single man but traditionally I am married to Hanna. Hanna and I are not really a couple but due to constant nagging of both our parents, we both agree to marry each other but made sure to set some boundaries between us. If I am single then Caroline can still be mine. Only thay we cannot be married instantly but can still be addressed as wife and husband. ....•••••••I look at the man, in front of me. It has been days and months ever since I last saw Uncle Arthuro. He lower his head..."Uncle, it is not necessary for you to do that because....." I put
HANNA ERICA CAVIAR'S POV Marriage is not something that I have prepared myself to be in but I was left with no other choice than to get married...worst of all is to a man I do not personally know. My dad is a successful businessman and it was his dream goal to marry me off ever since I told him that I have no plan on marrying someone. "He is a husband material. You just need to give it a try then see if it will work out." I cross my arms, stumping my feet impatiently as my dad stopped me from doing my horse riding just to take a look of someone's profile. "Dad..." I groaned then snatched the picture, a smile was suddenly plastered on my father's face as he kept on glancing at the paper I am holding. "I told you so many times that it is not my thing to be with a man for the rest of my life." My father brushed his hands against each other then pleaded using his eyes. I rolled my eyes then release a big sigh, surrendering to his desire. "Okay dad. I will try to meet him." I said
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POVThe event continued and every single one of it, Diana attended. I thought that after her fauled attempt to flirt with me and those scenarios she had gone through will make her hide herself for good.....but I was wrong. She even bugged me even harder."She is not here. U've been here for couple of days now and Caroline is not geree" I heard Diana said as she roll her fingers dip in her wine then licked it in front of me. "I do not care if she is around or not. As long as she is my Luna, I am okay with it." "I do not know what made you so into her. When I saw her, she seems to be so average. She is not even that pretty. You should just take me back, Knight." She said then placed her wine glass on the table. Her stares were sending me chills. The way she give the homder of the wine a tight grip as she drank its content in one long sip. How can she still give me this effect when I already found the person for me. Diana kept on insisting that I take her back
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV"Is there any meeting scheduled today?" I asked Samara, one of the maids here in our manor. She shook her head. "After the incident that happened on the event at the main palace, your suitors started to cancel their appointments one by one. Your auntie knew this already Ma'am." I tilt my head then boredly scratch the back of my neck. Of course, I should have expected that already. I don't know. I thought that I finally had it. I can escape Lexus once I found out who my mate is but I was wrong. "Okay, I will be in my room. Please do not send anything there. I will go down if I got hungry. Do not bring me anything today, got it?" I ordered. She nodded in response and I walked pass her. I walk a little wobbling to my room. I don't know but I haven't been outside for days now and I also stopped using my gadgets for a while. I need to do all these things just to make everything at peace. It has been days ever since I told Knight that we cannot continue whatever
DIANA ELIZABETH SPENCER'S POVI didn't know what to feel. Who to call or who to ask if what I am feeling is validatedAll I know is that...I totally lost him. I lost the person that I love years ago. It was supposedly us, becoming husband and wife but due to what I have done we had our break up. I know that cheating is not justifiable. I am aware that what I have done is so unethical, I cheated on Knight and he forgave me at first of that but I cheated again twice making it a decision already. We were rocky and Knight...He was very unstable. I couldn't keep up with his crazy transition of moods. One day he is super happy then the next day, he won't be talking to me but sti kays on our bed together. Our relationship had me confused. I questioned if the realtionship was still worth the risk because Knight seems like not a part of our own relationship together.I have felt like everything that Knight was doing was having some touches of manipulation but I love him that much to ignore
ADDI AFOREMAN'S POV'The number you have dialled is out of coverage area. Please try your call later.'What is this all about?I tap the number again and called it for atleast 3 times more only to hear...'The number you have dialled is out of coverage area. Please try your call later.''The number you have dialled is out of coverage area. Please try your call later.''The number you have dialled is out of coverage area. Please try your call later.'I consecutively heard the same response. I looked at my phone and the missed calls she had of me. "Where the fuck are you Caroline!" I look around the house the. stopped a maid who is passing by. "Hello. I've been coming back and forth for the oast 3 days here and no sign of Caroline. Did you guys knew where she went?" The maid shook her head as she hug the tray she is holding. "Young Master and the Master of the house packed and I think they went somewhere else but no one knew, even the sister of the Master.""Really? Does she not give
CAROLINE ESTER'S POVI thought life was over for me. "He took him." Hanna was crying on the floor. Those were the line that made me lose interest in escaping. "Lexus took Roi. I already created a plan to help you escape but he used the child to stop me from doing so." It felt like my only chance of escape crumpled. I took her hands and pressed it nervously. "I do not care about escaping. I just want you to make sure that my son is safe. Who knows what he can do."Lexus knew what he was doing that day. He even gave me an offer— a conditional one. I asked Hanna to go back and find my son.Why would I escape if my son is being held by him."You are free now. I am letting you go but once you step out of that cell, everything that you will left here, you can't take back." The sly smile on his face screams torment. "Do not do this to me. He is just a child.He deserves to be free from danger."I grab his feet. Without any force or sign of attempt to escape. I put my palms against each
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POV"What in the world is happening???!" I watch as the guards pin down Lexus. "What is this? Let go of me! I command!" He shouted. Dad stared at me. "I guess it's time that you knew the truth before that..." He motioned the guards to take him out. I had to take another seat when he walk towards me. Something felt wrong. "What is it?" "It is about Caroline." I nervously glance to him when he mentioned her name. I immediately raise my voice when he remained silent. "What the fuck? What was that and why are you mentioning her?" ..."I knew where she is." My eyes widened. "Y-You knew? Since when?" My head are spinning with thoughts as I wait for his lips to move and spit out words. He took a heavy sigh. "I cannot see you suffer more. Hear me out first. I thought that it would be a great way to keep you off her but I was wrong."For the first time, in front of him, I cried. Tears were streaming down my face and I can easily identify its reason. Betrayal. "I gav
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL 'S POV. "We have decided to consider potential alpha king aside from the Alpha Prince. We are always free to pick the best among the kingdoms and put him into trial to prove his worth." One of the council representatives spoken as he reads the roll paper that has the decision of the council as a whole. "I told you this would happen." My dad whispers, his face is cannot be painted. He listens attentively to the councils. I let a breath put of my lungs while my brows furrowed. "They can't do it that easily."The councils gathered today, upon hearing how the longing had weakened me.How come that this is my problem now?. Of only they gave her sudden disappearance some attention then maybe she would've not gone for this long. "We all knew that this is possible. An Alpha without his mate will suffer dismay, depression and temporary weakness." I stated. We sat on a long table with me on the end and my father on my side. The councils were distributed on the side seats."
LEXUS ARENDELLE'S POVI tap the long bar on my keyboard, the video froze into an image. "You sly bitch. I knew you would betray me anytime soon. Who are you calling to?" I zoom the photos of Hanna, tearing and talking to Caroline.I rotate my working chair to the side of my bed while a wine of glass is in between my fingers. I place the glass near my lips, shake it a little before slurping all its bitterness. I wipe off the excess. I put a CCTV on Caroline's room because I am aware of Hanna's fragility. I knew she would end up siding on her so called friend anytime soon. I managed to get her on my side. I put Diana in a good facility before the Issue of her and Hanna gets public and that is also another reason why Hanna follows me. My fist turned into ball. My jaw clenches alongside my tight grip over the wine class, which eventually broke into my hand. Now, I need to handle them one by one. "How can you disappoint me like this, Hanna. Your life would have been better if you st
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POVI felt lost.I feel like my world is crumbling on me. This is too heavy and I was never prepared for this. This is the type of pain that I cannot ease by just pretending that I am fine— I am not and I cannot be...not now—specifically not now.No matter how hard I try to locate her, to find her scent and to see her again— nothing worked. My life is literally on the edge with all the precrowning responsibilities, her disappearance and the idea of not being with her. •••••"What's the outside ruckus all about? Are they protesting again?" Addi spoke as she enters my office. She is carrying a red suitcase with her which she drops on the side chair on her way. Tyler kicks the bottles on the floor onto the side, compiling them with the others. "They are mad mad, bro. What the hell are you doing with your life?" Tyler looks around. I haven't clean my office yet and his eyes were screaming disgust as he roams his gaze, and he is so bad hiding it. I throw my hand in
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV. It felt like an asylum already. Everyday is the same as yesterday. These endless corridor and lonely room are enough to make my mind in chaos. My feet are getting numb and pale from the constant attempts of escape I had. It hurts to stand with it as much as it pains me internally to realize that I cannot stand on my own in the situation I am in. My life goes on and on with the same room and same setting. Everything sucks but I am keeping myself alive because I believe that someday I will break through this. Hanna visits me regularly. Despite being grateful for her doing my son good, I can't help but to wonder...Why can't she do anything about helping me escape?It has been years and she could have thought of something. ......I took a sigh, as I stare at her in disbelief. Hanna came here so often and tells me everything about outside and most of the time vents out. I find it so confusing how she still treats me as a friend but at the same time can keep up w
HANNA ERICA CAVIAR'S POV"Lex Roi. He is growing up looking like his father's image. Sooner or Later, things will be revealed. I guess it will be safer to come clean now." I sat on the bed, my heart was pounding hard as I release every words. Lexus won't like the idea. "Come clean? Huh?" He scoff, snarling at me for opening up the topic. Like how I expect he would react. He firmly pointed his finger at me as his eyes glares at me. He kept on walking back and forth, brushing his fingers through his hair and slapping his forehead with his palm. "I already receive a bad news. I do not need another problem from you. The King Alpha. He wants to have Caroline back." He gave out a sardonic scoff. "Like how dare he? We had an agreement. We are doing okay so what is his point.?. He can just have the child, as easy as how he gave him up." ....staring at him, almost with a blank expression. I can't help but to think about a particular question that I contemplated to ask. "Why did you do
KADE ARCHANGEL'S POV" Your son.......he was not doing his job and still not doing it right. After the disappearance of his Luna. He became too focus on finding her. This is a huge problem." I nodded, awkwardly rolling my tongue inside my mouth and biting it.The council had their gazes focused on me. I can feel the intensified glare some of them has on me. "The event he organized two years ago also went downhill. The amount of complaints about the event is becoming overwhelming. Alpha King, you know how much we respect you but this has to stop." My faces flushed red, hearing these. "I know that. I will talk with my son about this and will make sure that he will make his tasks done. By hook or by crook. " I motioned my secretary to come forward. "Schedule me a meeting woth Knight. Scoot it as soon as possible." He nodded and then bows his head down. "Don't you think, we need someone who has a heart for it?. I think it is time to reconsider applying the second way of choosing the ne
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV."Today is his birthday." I walk back and forth with the sound of the chain on my feet, rubbing against the floor. I kept glancing at the outside of my cell. Thumping my feet in anxious of waiting for them to arrive. The hour felt like moving in snail as I remain doing the same thing for minutes now— walking back and forth, with my hands clasping against each other. I run towards the cell and hold the bar frustratedly while my gaze are on the empty hallway. "LEXUSS!!! HANNNAA! GETTT ME OUT OF HEREE!!!" My voice echoed in the hallways, hopelessly, I swiftly bent my knees and hug myself. Almost 3 years and I am losing hope of ever getting freedom here. I only have one reason for fighting...."Mom." "Babyyy!!!" I stood, with my hands on the bar as the kid I bring into this world 2 years ago greeted me with a wide smile on his face. Hanna let go of his tiny hand and allowed him to run to me. "Uhm.Roi, Baby, wait for mom." She said, signaling my son to wait, ro
