Alpha's Mate: The Villainess Chapter 28
Just a dream?It was the first thought that came to mind as soon as I opened my eyes. The sun was already at its peak; the room was already bright and toasty and nobody bothered to wake me. I was hungry, but still too weak to get up. I raised my hand to ring the bell on the headboard when I noticed the bandage on my palm. It was as if a dam burst and the memories came flooding in. I sat up, panting, eyes wide in fear and grasping at my neck where I was sure the werewolf bit me. Nothing. Not even a scratch.What happened?I swept my eyes around the room, looking for signs of the beast, but there were none. Jasper, however, was in the corner of the room, near the door, with his arms folded across his chest. His hair was down and he was looking at the floor, his face serious.“You’re awake?” a voice said, and I flinched, turning my head towards Henry, who was sitting in a chair beside the bed. He was hunched over, his elbows resting on his thighs, his gaze fixed on the carpeted floor. My

“Do you know what this is?”Where did he get that? I racked my brain, trying to recall whether I had hidden the vial or simply left it lying around, but my memory was foggy.“I’ve never seen that in my life,” I said. I felt guilty all of a sudden. Scared.“Jay?” The king turned to his friend, ignoring me.“That’s a vial of peace aster concentrate,” Jasper said, finally looking up and staring at me. His eyes were burning gold with fury and it sent chills down my spine. “It’s extremely powerful. A drop is enough to knock a person out for an hour.”“And what will it do if a person has a weak heart?” Henry asked again. “Or old?”“It will kill them.”I felt my heart drop to my stomach. Does that mean...? No... that can’t be. How would I know it was going to happen? I also did not know Dame Geneviève had a weak heart. Yes, she was old, but she was as strong as an ox! I just saw her chop a bunch of firewood the day before.“I underestimated you, Selina.” Henry looked at me like he wanted to

It was exactly what Jasper said. One week after the lockdown was lifted, Henry returned to school, and I had the chance to talk to him again. He apologized for accusing me of mur*der, but I could tell he was still blaming me for his governess’ death. He wasn’t openly angry, but he had this look. It made me angry and scared that he was sighing and distant like he doesn't want to deal with me, like he was tired of me. Which made me lash out at him. I hit him where it would hurt him most: his precious friends. I reminded him of what they were, insulted them, calling them by every name in the book just to get a reaction out of him.He closed his eyes tight for a few seconds before looking at me again.“I’m sorry you feel that way,” Henry had told me. “However, the occults ARE human. It’s just that the cards they were dealing with differed from yours. And werewolves do not know what they’re doing when they shift. They have no choice. They are sick. No one can stop me from helping sick peop

“Just when I thought we were finally getting somewhere,” Jasper muttered, shaking his head.“What?” I leaned away from him, disgusted. “Ew! I’ll never see you as anything other than the monster that you are.”I didn’t have to filter my words with him any longer and I was glad about that.Jasper smirked, dropping the pie on the plate carelessly. “I stopped liking you the moment I found out you were Henry’s fiancée; I don’t pursue girls in relationships.”“Wow, doing the bare minimum,” I sneered. “What do you want from me, a medal?”“All I’m saying is that I thought after that day in Ulrich, we’d finally be at least civil.”“I am civil.” I cocked my head to the side, folding my arms to my chest.Jasper let out a short, mirthless laugh, looking down at the plate in front of him before standing up.“Well, thanks for the snack,” he said as he grabbed the half-eaten pie and raised it in front of me as if in salute before taking another bite. “Good luck getting back with Henry.”“We’re still

“Selina, Henry, what is happening here?” Camilla asked, concerned.“Mother,” Henry said before inhaling a calming breath. “Selina and I broke up.”My jaw slacked in shock, and so did the empress’. Frederick and Jet appeared to be surprised, but their reactions were sketchy. Did they know?“What?” The Empress Regent choked out after a while. “But Henry...”“You don’t have to worry about anything, mother,” the king said, straightening his stance. “I am going to talk to King Saul to formally end the engagement. I’m confident he’ll understand.”I balled my fists in anger. I briefly wondered where the king got the audacity to break up with me and the balls to talk to my father about it.“Selina,” Henry turned to me, all formal. “You can stay here for as long as you like, but we need to be clear about—”“Screw you!”It was everyone’s turn to be shocked, except Jasper, who appeared to be amused for a second before pulling on a serious face. It was uncouth of me to curse, but it took everythi

Jade“You’ll get what you deserve, you conniving little bitch.”I saw hatred in the princess’ eyes. I felt her anger radiating through her body. I wasn’t scared of her or anything, but why was she taking it out on me? I didn’t do anything to her. It wasn’t me who betrayed her.‘Do you still like me?’I heard ‘that’ person’s voice echoing on my mind again and I realized... that what I said wasn’t true at all. I betrayed her, too._____A few nights ago...“Do you still like me?”I had looked up from my favorite microscope, almost breaking my neck and dizzy from the whiplash because of how fast I turned to the boy who spoke. I was in my lab just like always, when Henry stormed in, breathless but determined.“W-what?” I had almost choked on my own air. It was the first time he spoke to me about liking him.“You told me before,” Henry had said, blushing bright red. “Before you came here for your undergrad. You said you liked me.”“Y-your majesty—““Henry,” he reminded me firmly.“Henry,”

Jade“Mother, I would like to ask permission to end Selina and I’s engagement.”“Absolutely not.” Empress Camilla finally said a few seconds later, fanning herself. She was clearly freaking out. “I couldn’t believe you even considered this. Henry, what are you thinking?”Henry squeezed my hand tight, drawing strength from me. “I love Jade and—”“No, I will not allow this,” the empress said firmly. She looked at me next. There was sorrow in her kind eyes, and her voice was soft. “Jade, honey, you’re great. My entire family is indebted to you and yours. I have nothing against you, but you and Henry really can’t be together. I’m sorry.”I expected it. Her apology was sincere, but it didn’t soften the blow. Her words of disapproval still hurt.I nodded and let go of Henry’s hand. He attempted to hold me again, but I clasped my hands behind me.“I would like to speak to my son alone, please. Everyone.”“No.” The king clenched his fists. “Jade is my family, and I want her to stay. Whatever

I let out a blood-curdling scream.“It’s alright, my princess,” Clifford tried to reassure me with a soothing voice as he approached me, but his actions had the opposite effect on me. “Do not be afraid, it’s–”Before he could finish speaking, a shadow leaped in front of me and tackled the butler to the ground with a growl. It was Jasper. They fought over the knife before the duke knocked Clifford out with a punch to the face, dislocating his jaw.“Freddy!” Bridgette screamed. Everyone rushed towards the prince, and they pushed me out of the way. I landed on my behind, the grass cushioning the fall, still too stunned to care.“Are you okay?” I heard Jasper ask. He knelt in front of me. I gazed at him and the hand he offered, still wide-eyed. “Selina, are you hurt?”I shook my head no. I was trembling like a leaf in the wind. I didn't even realize I was crying until the duke put an arm around me, pulling me close to his chest. “It’s alright. It’s over now.”It was strange. Even though h

Someone was standing by the window.The drawing room was dark, but I could see their silhouette thanks to the moonlight shining through the mesh curtains. They appeared to be looking out of the window, their back turned towards me. My heart thumping in my chest, I stepped back in an attempt to escape, only to be stopped by a familiar male voice.“You’re here…” The person finally looked at me. They were wearing a turquoise and gold suit. A royal butler.“Clifford?” I squinted to see the man properly, my eyes adjusting in the dark. He was… smiling. It was unusual, but not unwelcome. “It’s late. What are you still doing here?”“I noticed you were not here after His Majesty’s visit. Where were you?”I closed the door behind me and walked towards my bedroom. “I just went out for a walk. You can go back now.”“Oh, alright. Good night, my princess,” he said, a soft lilt in his voice. “Sweet dreams.”I raised my eyebrows at that. He never smiles or croons. The butler was always professional a

Thank the Rozen Maiden, Jasper was already hard. I don't know what I'd do if he wasn't.He smelled like mint soap and tasted nothing in particular. Like clean skin.“What are you doing?” the Lycan exclaimed, horrified. He shoved me, causing me to fall off the bed. I assumed he didn't intend to do that, as he quickly rushed to my side, visibly concerned. “I'm sorry!”I didn't move from my spot. I hurt my back when I hit the floor, but my pride and dignity hurt even worse.He was right. What was I doing, coming to his room and pouncing on him like that? I have no shame left in me. I couldn’t believe I’d stooped so low.“Hey, are you okay?” the duke asked, and I turned away from him, ignoring him completely. “Don't just lie in there. The floor's cold.”“Leave me alone.”“Selina...”I breathed deeply before opening my mouth and screaming at the top of my lungs.“Alright! Fine! Fine!” Jasper yelled through my screams, stepping back and covering his ears. “Fine, I'll leave you alone, jeez.”

I ran upstairs to the third floor of the Lyall Palace, where the guests’ bedchambers were located. As soon as I reached the door at the end of the halfway, I pounded my fist on the sturdy wood. I don’t care if it’s the middle of the night; I need to speak with the occupant of the room.“Princess Selina?” a voice came from behind me. I turned to see Jasper peeking out from an open door across the hall. He looked dumbfounded to see me. “What are you doing here?”I could ask him the same thing because I know that’s not his assigned bedchamber. I walked towards him and his expression turned into a deep concern. The duke stepped out of the room, closing the door behind him.He looked ridiculous in his silk pajamas and nightcap.“You can't be here,” he said, his eyes combing the dimly lit hallway for signs of life. “What if other people–”I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him down to crash my lips into his.When Henry said I could not have a lover while he had one, he failed to co

“Your Royal Highness,” Clifford's voice called from outside my door. I scowled and turned towards it. What was it this time? “His Majesty is here to see you.”“The king?”“Yes, miss.”My eyes almost popped open in shock. Henry never visited me in my room, especially at night, because he was wary of the rumors it might create. What does he want?“Shall I tell His Majesty that you’re indisposed?”“No, let him…” I glanced at the table and noticed the vial of period blood was still there.In my panic, I grabbed it so that I could hide it on the couch again. However, it slipped from my hand and rolled under the table.“Argh!” I tried to reach it, but it was so far away from my hand.“Your Royal Highness?”“Just a minute!” I tried to use my foot, but the vial rolled under the other couch and near the fireplace. Spilling small amounts of thick liquid in its wake. I forgot to put its lid on.The door swung open, and I dived to snatch the vial and, before I could decide against it, threw it in

“I’ve seen the written accord; I have studied it ever since they displayed it in the Museum for all to see. It doesn’t say anything about that.”I narrowed my eyes at the glasses girl, “Are you saying my father lied?” “N-no! I’m saying he’s mistaken, Your Royal Highness.” Nervously, she passed around folders containing graphs, charts, and pictures showcasing ancient texts alongside their modern translations. “I mean, I can’t blame His Majesty, the accord is very old. But… as you can see in your copies, the translation clearly says ‘a child sired by Wilhelm’s blood’ … so, it could be anyone of them, not just the king.”“You mean the spare?” Julian interjected, eyebrows furrowing.“It doesn't matter who is sitting on the throne now,” the girl said, adjusting her glasses that were slipping down her nose. “Even if he has just a drop of the first emperor's blood, he will still be considered eligible. The person Princess Selina decides to marry will inherit both the throne and the title al

My heart had been pounding so hard on my chest when the heathens pushed me into the back of a car and made me lie on my back. It was where they gagged me and tied up my hands and feet. They drove the car for a while, driving through a couple of tunnels and a train crossing and a lot of humps and when they finally stopped, I couldn’t hear the hustle and bustle of the city. All the sounds I could make out were the occasional chirping of crickets, rustling of leaves, and the squelching of our feet against the soft, wet grass when they got me out of the car.The people who took me dragged me carefully inside a building and made me sit on a cushioned couch. The place smelled like rotten wood, stagnant water and dust. By the time my kidnappers pulled the bag off my head, I was already calm and collected. My security team always told me that in an event that I was taken, I needed to preserve my voice and strength. I must not encourage the kidnappers to hurt me, which I didn’t. Aside from the

Jade was talking animatedly to another student while smoothing out the pink poster on the wall. I walked towards the elevator a few feet from them, ignoring them, intending to ride the elevator to go to my class. A few other students were intrigued by the new poster and flocked to the female Lycan, listening to what she had to say.Jade’s soft-spoken voice was loud and clear while she explained to the group the importance of having a ‘well-woman exam’ at least once a year. Her words seemed to be filled with genuine concern and compassion for her fellow women, which made me huff. Where was that concern and compassion when she stole Henry from me?I pressed the button on the elevator again, willing for it to go down faster, but it was stuck on the fifth floor for some d amned reason. With a huff, I turned on my heels, and walked towards the stairs, but Jade’s words stopped me in my tracks.“Me?” She was smiling warmly while looking at the group of students in front of her. “As a matter

“I'm infertile?” I was thankful for the face mask I was wearing because it muffled my loud voice a bit and it helped to not shower the good doctor with spittle when I shouted. After a few days of holding it off because of my pride, I went back to Doctor Ortega’s clinic and endured all of the tests she wanted to do. I had a lot of terrible scenarios in my head during and a few days after the tests, but I never imagined that one. Given the doctor's concern, I thought I was dying. The final result was even worse. To say I was shocked was an understatement. “That's—no, it can't be!” As the future empress, it was my responsibility to have children. If I don't get to have that… I'll be useless. If Henry knew this— “I didn't say that,” the brown-haired doctor said, frowning a little. “I said you have polycystic ovary syndrome, Mary.” “Same difference.” I folded my arms on my chest. “I’ve heard of that condition. I won’t get pregnant if I have it.” “Why would that matter to you? I thou
