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
Naya's POVI'm no longer a virgin. Erus did his thing with me and left me alone, wrapped in his bloodstained sheet. I was very ashamed of myself and cried, but some servants came into the room, took me back to mine, and cleaned me up. It has been one of the most disturbing in my life and I wonder if Erus hates me now because he left the room after he was done and I've not seen him since that day. Luna Bloodton has surprisingly got off my back too. She is not there to tell me me that I've gotten bloated, and I'm afraid, she never came to ask me if I did something wrong to piss her son off. I've been in my bed, depression eating me away. I can't bring myself to tell Sherry what happened, and I desperately want to call my mother, but I know that is just going to be putting both of us into trouble. The door of my bedroom suddenly opens with a big bang and Luna Bloodton walks in majestically. I struggle to stand up because of the slight pain I still feel between my legs. I bow to her
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 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
Erus' POV At eight o'clock sharp, I succeeded in clearing my schedule and I drive myself to Naya's house. Brandon was supposed to send a driver to pick them and take them to my mother's house, but I have decided to do that myself. I haven't been to my mum's in a long time, and maybe we can all be reunited there for the first time in seven years…I can see the light from Jordan's window. I thought that Naya would take her and run away, but that's not the case. She wouldn't even dare, she knows that I can find her, even if she decides to hide in the deepest hole. With a rose in my hand, I walk towards the door and knock on it softly. Naya opens the door. Her hair is made, a red flower dress is what she has on, and some simple sandals. She doesn't have any makeup on. If not for her red dress, one would have thought that she is going for a funeral. We stare at each other for a second without saying a word to each other. “I don't appreciate you doing this. I'm not interested in b
Naya's POV It's like I died and returned in a blink of an eye. Of all the people in the world, Erus wants my daughter to meet with his witch of a mother? How can I allow that? When she was the one who ordered the servants to kill Jordan and I. She hated Jordan from the very moment that she was born, and now he wants Luna Bloodton to see her? Brandon reads the panic in my face and he leans forward slowly. “Miss Naya, you are not saying anything…” “No.” I shake my head. “Jordan won't be seeing anyone, not that heartless Luna Bloodton.” “Please, don't say that.” He sighs.“I don't want to see that woman, you have no idea how horribly she treated me seven years ago. Jordan is not going to see her!” “Please, Naya, listen to me. Not as your husband – I mean, Erus' assistant, but as your friend. If anyone knows Erus well, it's me, and I know without a fact that even if you try to keep Jordan away, he is only going to snatch her from you.” He says. “Please, don't give him a reason to
Nays's POV I can't believe that I am being asked this. This is what I hate and I am going to warn Pat never to ask me something like this. As I turn to her, she already has her hand raised to my face. “Yes, I know it's a weird question, but you're my closest friend here, and you shouldn't feel uncomfortable with me. Plus, I'm a lesbian, if that means anything.” I roll my eyes and sigh. “You are a very weird girl, Pat. I don't even know what to do with you.” I try walking away, but she follows me around like a velcro pet. “Are you living with him? Do you have servants waiting on you like a princess? Oh my God, does this mean that you are going to be the next Luna after Luna Bloodton?!” She gasps and holds her hand over her mouth. “Shut up, Pat, seriously.” I hiss at her. “Someone is going to hear you and we will both be in trouble!” “I, maybe, but you, you are never going to get into trouble again! Did you see the way the Alpha walked in to save you the other day? You practical
Nays's POV I have a very eventful morning, I have to go do some chores, and I also have to get Jordan ready for school, before getting myself ready for work. After I am done, I drive Jordan to school and I keep my eyes wide open and my ears on the ground. Even though the blog post has disappeared from the news, I am still paranoid. When I get to Jordan's school, I don't let her out of the car immediately. I look around, making sure that no one is behaving strangely because they know my secret now. “Mum, I have to go now! I don't want to be late!” Jordan whines. “Okay, Jordan. You can go, but if anything strange happens in school today, you ask your teacher to give me a call, okay?” I tell her, holding her by the shoulders. She smirks like the carefree child that she is. “Something strange like what, mummy?” “I don't know baby, maybe if your classmates start to talk about your Daddy?” “But you told me not to speak about him in school.” She frowns. “Exactly, baby. So, if they
