Naya's POV I have just finished taking my shower when one of the servants comes to inform me that my teacher has come. Yes, I might be married to the Alpha, but that doesn't mean that I am still a highschool kid that needs to finish school soon. I grab my things and walk downstairs. There is Miss Dallas, looking around with bewilderment in her eyes. She jumps up as soon as she sees me and I almost break down when she opens up her arms to me. She hugs me very tightly and I hear myself sobbing quietly. It's been so long since anyone hugged me and I have been dying for a hug for a very long time. “I'm so happy for you, Naya.” She whispers. “I know that you have always been a promising child. Look at what you have achieved.” I want to remind her that I haven't done anything. I just somehow got mated to the Alpha and I want to tell her that this is not as nice as she thinks. This is hell. I sit down and she sits close to me. Taking out the books from her bag. “So, Mrs Bloodton,”
Naya's POV Immediately after my mother slapped me, I burst into tears. I have been fighting so many demons for long, trying to keep my sanity, but my mother slapping me has shattered everything holding me together. I was yearning for a hug, I have missed my mother so much, but the first thing that she does is slap me?! Her lips are thinly pressed together and her right hand is held in a loose fist. “How dare you? How dare you become so disrespectful to your mother-in-law? Have you no manners?! Have I not been a good mother to you?” I cry even harder. I look at the door and there is Luna Bloodton, leaning against the frame with a satisfied look on her face. I fall on my knees and cry into my hands. It's obvious that she was very hurt by the outburst from me refusing to take their family name and she has called my mother to back her up. My mother has never hit me before, no. I have been disciplined many times, but she has never hit me in my life. We were too close and she never
Naya's POV My plan is very simple, and I am to kick start it before Erus returns from one of his never ending trips. I felt terrible because from the night he took my virginity, he jetted off to another part of the country, but I am grateful because it has given me the time to brood over myself. Erus and his mother didn't think much of me at all. I am supposed to be like an expensive doll on a shelf, an accessory that was quickly forgotten almost immediately after purchase. The Bloodton family is a trap and I need to get myself out as soon as possible. I don't know how I am going to get out without putting my mother and I in danger, but I know what the first step is going to be. I have to take it. It's hard. I have had sex only once in my life and I am too scared to even try to reminisce about what happened that night. I am cringy and shy when it comes to the topic of sex, but for my plan, I have to become a pro at intimacy and all things sex. I wake up in the morning, my brai
Naya's POV Three days, that's how long it took for Sherry to turn me into a classic whore. It's hard for Sherry, because she has to verbally instruct and describe everything for me. It's cringy for me, but I try my best and I think I have done my best. The day that Erus is supposed to come back, I wake up very early in the morning and take a two hour bath, the longest I have ever had in my life. I wash every inch and corner of my body and make sure my hair is in the best shape it has been. I remove every hair from my legs, arms, and by privates. I don't know what Erus' preference is, but Sherry said men usually like it when women aren't hairy like a wild animal. After everything, I go through the closest and find myself in two outfits. One that I am going to wear during the day, and another when he comes back at night– more intimate and appealing for him. I go downstairs to see the servants working, cleaning every corner of the house. Turns out that I'm not the only one who is
Erus' POV It's a fifteen hours flight and all I want is just to go to bed. Imagine my surprise when I find my young wife sleeping with her head on the dining table. Naya. I have been thinking about her since the moment that I traveled weeks ago. The last time I saw her was about two weeks ago, after our wedding night. I don't know who told her that it's a good idea to stay awake around this ungodly hour, but I tell her to go to bed. I see her face fall, but I don't care. She shouldn't be awake, I know it's because of me, but I don't want that. “We have taken your stuff up to the room,” my driver, Jeff, says. “Thank you,” I nod as I go upstairs. I am undoing my cuffs. The first thing I do when I get into the room is to jump into the shower. The water feels great, I am so glad to be back home for a few days of rest. I don't check on my mum, because I know that she is going to be asleep by now. I put on my pajama pants and without a shirt, I go to sleep. I have a weird sleeping
Naya's POV His eyes turn dark with anger and he is looking at me as if he wants to kill me. His hands are firmly around my waist, but I still won't move. This is my plan and if he doesn't accept my request, we are going to be here for a long time. I know he is close to coming, Sherry described it would be like for a man when he is just about to get to climax and all the signs are being displayed by Erus. He looks very mad at me right now and I know that he can overpower me and take what he wants, but where is the fun in that? “Is this a joke, Naya?” He asks, blowing out hot air. “Tell me that I can keep my name,” I repeat myself. “that I will remain Naya Woods for as long as I remain in your house and am your wife.” He shuts his eyes and grimaces from the frustration. It is funny to see the alpha in this situation, it's kind of pleasuring to have such a strong man under my thumb. “You have no idea what you are doing, Naya–” I shut him up by moving a little and stopping almost
Naya's POV I am so happy that I have Erus on my side now. I can manipulate his mother by making her think I am the most faithful wife, and I can also have Erus under my thumb. That's the only way that this house can be tolerable for me. Until I am able to get out of here. I left my bedroom today with a very happy smile on my face. Fillipia smiles when I greet her and she allows me to help her make breakfast for Erus. If I thought that Luna Bloodton was picky with her food, Erus is ten times worse. Fillipia works with breath stilling precision and after she is done, she wipes the corner of the plates with great care. All this to prepare a meal for Erus that there is a seventy percent chance that he might not eat. If he rejects the food, they will return it to the kitchen and decide on who is going to eat it. Then they will go through the same process again in the evening… She pours a cup of expensive tea. Tea that cost more than my mother's yearly income. She tells me how t
Erus' POV I know that Naya will leave my room and cry and cry about what I have said to her, but I don't feel sorry for her. She has started to become too comfortable and I am not alright with that. The fact that she and I somehow got entangled into a mate bond doesn't mean shit to me. She is still a third class citizen in my city and it's annoying enough to be associated with her. What's the saying? No amount of water can make a pig clean enough to be king. Just after she has left, Fillipia knock on my door and comes in. She knows what she has done, so she immediately falls to her knees with her hands clasps in front of her. “Alpha, I am gravely sorry. Your wife, she–” “Naya.” I correct her with a growl. “Naya,” she nods as she takes the correction. “She insisted on helping and I was sure that she is just excited to be of service to you, just like any of us. I should have sought proper permission first. I apologize, my lord.” I don't look at her, I am glued to the scr
I wake up the next morning feeling like a block of cement was dropped on me. My entire body is weak with pain, and I wince as I turn around in the bed. I catch a glimpse of the clock and it sends me rolling and tumbling out of bed. I overslept! Jordan will be late for school, I will be late for work, and this is going to be the worst thing ever for me! “Jordan! Jordan, honey, you are going to be late for school!” I rush to her bedroom, but when I open the door, she is not in her bed! I forgot that she slept with Erus in the living room. I rush down, hoping to find both of them sleeping, but they are not there. I rush to the kitchen, to the other rooms, but she is nowhere to be found. Did someone come in the middle of the night and take my daughter?! The head servant Grace comes in from the quarters. “Good morning, madame, you look so troubled.” “I can't find my child!” I tell her, holding my hand over my head. “I overslept, she is going to be late for school–” “The Alpha too

Naya's POV I found have fall, my heart is still beating from what would have been a fatal fall that would have put me in bed for a few weeks. But he caught me. And he is staring at me with his eyebrows furrowed. “Careful, you almost slipped there.” He murmurs. I stand up straight and push my hair away from my face. “Yeah, thank you for catching me.” “Maybe I should have allowed you to fall.” He says and I'm taken aback. “Maybe that's the only way you would catch a break and allow the servants to do their jobs.” “Ha.” I give a short laugh. It's not a joke, I know that he could have allowed me to fall(he is very capable of doing that), but thank the gods that he didn't. He puts his head back against the sink and I rinse his hair for the final time. I run my fingers through his hair and the glitter is gone. I smile, I am proud of myself. I take a towel and dries his shirt. His jacket is off and his sleeves as been rolled up. I did a great job with keeping his shirt dry. He waits
Naya's POV This is not right, that's the only thing that keeps going through my mind as I watch my stuff get moved into the Bloodton mansion. I refuse to go into Luna Bloodton's bedroom, and I refuse to answer the servants when they ask if there is anything they could do for me. Did he just kick his mother out of the family house because of me?! And gave the house to me?! His father is surely rolling in his grave! I pretend that everything is well at work. Jordan is very happy with the huge house, but not me. How can I be happy? I come back from work and I suddenly cease my breath once I see his car up in the parking space. A servant girl rushes to me bows many times. “Good evening, madame–” “No, you may not have my bag!” I hiss at her. I refuse to open the door until she turns red with embarrassment and leaves. I will never be used to being served by people. I refuse to be used to it! After she has left, I take my bag and go to the front door. I am about to open the door whe
Erus' POV No, I am not moving in with Jordan and Naya, even though I am giving them this big ass house that used to belong to my mother. I can't believe what she did, and I can't believe that Naya couldn't even tell me the truth. I used to blame her for keeping Jordan from me, but I didn't expect my mother to be the reason. I don't feel bad for sending her to the countryside for the rest of her life. If she wasn't my mother, I would have sentenced her to death for what she did to Jordan and Naya. I'm in my office, Brandon walks in with some files. He quietly bows to me as he drops them in front of him. I know what they are, so I stop what I am doing, and I start to sign the papers. “How did you know about the situation with my mother and Naya?” I ask without looking up. Brandon clears his throat. “Just a few days, sir. I told you as soon as I knew,” The anger boils even more in my chest. “She told you, but she couldn't tell me?!” “I think it's because she was scared of you,
Naya's POV “Please, Erus! You know that I can't survive in the countryside. I belong here, in the city, ruling next to you as Luna. Please, don't do this to me, my son.” She pleads. “You are lucky that I'm not killing you.” He huffs.Brandon walks into the kitchen and bows to Erus, and even the former Luna, who is crying defeated on the ground. This was his doing. I told him that I was scared to tell Erus, but he told me that he was going to take care of it. And he did…“Mrs Bloodton, the vehicle is waiting for you.” Brandon says. I see her heart shatter. She is no longer Luna…“Please, Erus, don't do this to your mother. It's still me, remember how long it took me to give birth to you. I almost lost my life trying to give life to you.” “It's either this, or public humiliation, followed by death.” He tells her coldly. “Either way, it's up to you.” She knows that no matter how hard she cries, he is not going to listen to her. His father trained him well..She stands up to her fee
Naya's POV I have never seen so much confusion and fear on the face of the Luna. How can someone be scared of her son to the extent that she starts to shiver? He hasn't said another word, he is just leaning against the door and watching her with his painfully cold eyes. “I'm still waiting,” he says. “I mean, I have all day.” She laughs nervously and looks at her son. “Erus, you know that I was only joking, I didn't mean any of what I said–” “It's Alpha to you.” He corrects her. “I mean, you of all people should know that, you are my mother.” I have never heard him speak to her in such a tone. If it wasn't obvious before, it is that she is now in alot of trouble. “Alpha, can we go to my room? I promise you that it's not what it sounds like.” “You tried to kill my child and you are telling me that it isn't what it sounds like? Answer me!” He roars to the extent that I feel my own bones rattle with fear. His mother immediately goes down on her knees and shut her eyes. “Erus,
Naya's POV I guess she thinks that she is the winner right now. Shs won, didn't she? I try to take my daughter and flee far away from her, but we are now in the same house that I hate with all of me. We all sit at the dining table and Luna Bloodton has made Jordan sit next to her. She is talking to Jordan about everything, and they are laughing together. I hold my fork too firmly. I can't eat, I can just hold my breath and pray for all of this to be over. Erus doesn't even look at me. He is busy eating his food. Jordan can't cut up the stakes in front of her, so Luna Bloodton tries to help her. “I can't do it, Luna, don't worry.” I say. I pull the plate before she can even change her mind. I feel her eyes on me, but I don't look up. I pull the knife back and forth, pretending that the piece of meat is Luna Bloodton's heart. “But why did you pull it like that?” Luna Bloodton asks. “Huh?” I look up. “Why did you pull back the plate as if I was planning on poisoning my own gr
Naya's POV As soon as I see those stone walls of the Bloodton mansion, my blood runs cold. In the past years, I have only seen this place in my nightmares. Luna Bloodton would tie me up in my pink bedroom, and she would cut me open with a dagger while I scream. She would take a bloody baby Jordan, and throw her out of the window. Those nightmares traumatized me so much, and I knew how long it took for me to get that fear out of me. Coming back here doesn't help me at all. “Is this a palace, Daddy?” Jordan asks with curiosity. “I guess you can say that, my love. This is your family's home.” He answers. I wish he wouldn't say that, but I am not looking to start any kind of trouble with Erus right now. Once he eases the car into the parking space, he turns off the engine. I see the main door of the house, but my feet won't move. “We won't be there for long, so I expect you to be on your best behavior.” He tells me with a small voice. I nod with a dry throat. What else can I do
