Naya's POVI have never experienced something like this. I am so conscious of my bare body and I have suffered from body dysmorphia and I hate being naked in front of everyone. She doesn't mind that I'm shaking terribly, she keeps her eyes on me and even shakes her head as she amuses herself with the sight of me. “You haven't answered my question, girl. Don't you know that it's rude for you to keep your Luna waiting for your answer?” This is a very personal question and I wish I am in a proper state to answer it. Perhaps we can discuss this at a more proper setting, but she is not giving me that chance. She wants the answer now. “Are you a Virgin, Naya?” “I– I don't know.” I shiver. “What are you? Dumb?” She barks at me. “It's a simple question! Yes or no! Don't waste my damn time!” I shut my eyes, but I can hear my own teeth chattering with fear. Do I have to live with this woman till when?She comes into the shower, my heart is thumping more than ever. She turns on the water
Naya's POVLuna Bloodton is not happy because she wanted to deal with Marcus very well, but I intervened and ruined everything. Her idea of a punishment for me was to invite the family doctor to give me a thorough examination in her office. I was asked to take a bath prior to the doctor's arrival and as soon as the doctor came, I was asked to lay on the table table as my privates were touched and examined. After the most excruciating ten minutes of my life, the doctor is done and declares me to be a virgin. It doesn't change anything for Luna Bloodton, she just shrugs as if she had expected me to be a virgin the whole time. I am ordered to go to my room. Two days, it's been five days since I have moved into the Bloodton mansion and it has been some of the craziest days of my life. I am having different kinds of lessons as Luna Bloodton is trying her best to shape me into a wide for her son. Before he comes back from this trip of his. My legs are shaved. My eyebrows plucked. My
Naya's POVI tear up as soon as I see my mother sitting in front. I have never seen her shoulder so relaxed, I have never seen her eyes so bright. The wrinkle of worry that used to like her face for as long as I could remember is no longer there. She is dressed in a navy blue dress and from the mere shininess of the material, I can tell it's expensive. Just because I am now engaged to Alpha Erus, my mother's life has gotten drastically better. I didn’t reject it. Just for my mother, I am glad that I made that sacrifice. She looks at me and I can see the smile through her eyes. She can't even wave at me and I can't do nothing more than smile at her a little. There are over five guards protecting Luna Bloodton and I. I wish I can stand up and go to give my mother a hug. I love this new life for her. For both of us. After the meeting has started, Luna Bloodton stands up to her feet and everyone does the same too. “Ladies and gentlemen of the Moonclaw pack, The Luna, Lady Bloodton!
Erus’ POVNaya Emily Woods. That's the name that was on the file that my investigator submitted to me. I wanted to know everything about her after I met her at the restaurant. My mother wanted me to speak to her, get to know her better, but I wasn't in the mood that day. I was still pissed off that the old seer pointed at this random girl at my father's funeral meeting and declared that she was my mate. I didn't like that, she was not my type at all. She was in casual jeans that seemed to have lost their color from too much washing. Her shoes were falling apart and I was wondering how she even got in, in the first place. She was pretty, innocent and pretty, but she wasn't my type of girl. I liked the sophisticated city girls that went to top universities and studied mentally exhausting courses. I liked lawyers, doctors, rocket scientists, business women, not a bloody teenager. My mother tried to convince me that she could change her into someone that I would fall in love with, bu
Naya's POVNo?! Did he just say no?! He is not going to allow me to go and hug my mother? What is this? Have I totally sold myself and the life I lived before just because I'm getting married to him?! “Alpha, you don't understand. It's not going to take more than five minutes.” I put my hands together. “Look at her, she's so broken. I just need a little time to tell her that I love her and still think of her. I'm all she has in this world–” “Naya quit acting like a child and don't get the Alpha angry! Your mother will be fine, now wipe your tears!” Luna Bloodton shouts. “There are many conditions to you marrying into this prestigious family and you will obey every one of them!” I look into Alpha Erus’ face. I don't expect him to be as heartless as his mother, I expect him to be more understanding, be more humane to me, but no. Maybe I have forgotten that he is the alpha and this is just a duty to him. This man almost got me killed by placing a bounty on my head! How stupid am I t
Erus’ POVThe church bell rings in the chapel. I'm dressed in my black suit and I'm on my phone, catching up on business calls. I'm going to get married in minutes, but that doesn't mean that my businesses should suffer. I can't believe that I am going on with this. I can't believe that I ma getting married to a girl that I got to know in less than a month. For some reason, my mother is very excited for this. She doesn't like Naya, she thinks that Naya is too low for me to marry, but she strongly believes in the goddess’ will. So, she has managed to trick herself into being excited for this wedding, I mean, it's another reason for her to dress up and layer her neck with diamonds. I'm in the church and the priest is standing a few feet away from us. He doesn't even do as much as breathe, he is that scared. He is one of the humans that live in the city with us. It's normal, they live by the rules and we don't run into any kind of problems with them. They attend churches and go ab
Naya's POVAs soon as a girl becomes more conscious of her life and knows about sex and all, she will keep thinking about how it's going to be on her wedding nights. I wasn't one of the girls that boys confess their crush to, I wasn't one of those girls that got chocolate and flowers on Valentine's days, but I keep thinking about my wedding night. I used to close my eyes at night and imagined how it would play out for me. I imagined kissing this faceless man that was my husband and my imagination turned into dust when we got to the bed….Today is my wedding night. Erus hasn't gotten to the house since we came back from the church. It's hard for me to believe that I have just gotten married, it barely took thirty minutes and Erus went for a meeting right after. His mother thrusted a half glass of wine at me and ordered me to go refreshed afterwards. She refused to allow me to eat, even though I was getting dinner and the fangs of hunger were biting into my stomach. She said that
Erus' POV Blood. Before I bring myself to stop and take a look at her, that's when I realize what I have done. She is a virgin, I never had expected her to be one, I never imagined it at all. I was very young when I had sex for the first time and I never even thought that people waited this long being a virgin. She was covered in my sheet, crying her eyes out because of the pain that I inflicted on her by breaking her hymen. I don't even have the words to say to her, I just leave the room after putting a robe on myself. I meet some of the servants by the stairs, but they turn around and run away before I even get to them. They can see the anger on my face. I am looking for my mother and I have found her on the patio, having wine time with some of her rich friends. “Can you believe that the girl doesn't even know how to operate the television? She is that dumb!” She cracks and they laugh too. They are talking about Naya. They are talking so much shit about her. As so
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
