Honestly, you guys aren't motivating me enough. No comments no review. Just unlocking of chapter quietly which doesn't feel good but sigh... Thanks for reading though 💝 I just hope you guys would quit being quiet and rather drop some comments, review or gem.
Sapphire's POV.One Month Later, Outside Aunt Karissa's mansion…“Mr. Adams, please let me go. I will be back before you know it. I need to get something urgent from a close by shop for the project that's coming up tomorrow."“But ma'am, Madam Blue Rose would be mad at me if she calls the home line, and you're not here…” I cut him off as I clasp my hands together, forming a puppy dog eyes as I pouted my lips. “I beg you, Mr. Adams. The shop would close late, so I still have some time to get it. If I don't get it now, I doubt if they would open early in the morning. Plus I have early morning lectures tomorrow, which of course, the project we'd be having will get introduced to us by Professor Kaiser. I will be back home in less than five minutes,” I pleaded, trying to persuade him and he released a defeated heavy sigh.“Fine then. You can get it but make sure to be back home in exactly five minutes. I wouldn't want Madam Blue Rose to get mad at me for letting you out at night,” Butler
I swallowed hard, my lips dried and my face white as I struggled to regain myself, thoughts and voice back. I couldn't let them take me. I couldn't let them capture me because who knows what they had installed for me? Who knows what they planned to do to me if I don't find a way to escape here. My lips trembled once Jeremy started pulling me from behind him, his grip on my slender arm never breaking as he took me to Jaguar “W-what, do you want from me? Why are you here? Let go off my arm, Jeremy!” I managed to speak, twisting my arm to break free from him, but he didn't even budge!He scoffed, “What did you think? That we would forget? We would forget the damned pain your fucking ass knight in shining armor inflicted on us all because of you? You must be dreaming if that was what you thought.” “Stop it, Jeremy! I didn't do anything to you guys in the first place. You guys were the ones who tried to harass me, so Cameron only tried to help me. You wouldn't have been beaten up so ba
Sapphire's POV. The werewolf hot, rank breath washed over me, and I felt a primal instinct to back away, to flee from this monstrous creature. But my feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move as I was in shock! I didn't know such creatures existed on earth~in reality. Yes, I had read stories and novels of such mythical creatures, but I had believed they were not real. I believed that they were just fairy tales~fictions written In books. So seeing Jaguar shift into a werewolf means that everything I read about them~~~everything, every one of it was true but at the same it was challenging to digest as I staggered backward, away from the terrifying creature, my lips trembled as I set my hand forward to stop it, gulping. “S-stay away. Stay… away~from me, Jaguar,” I stammered, terrified and taking several steps away from it. Jaguar growled louder at me this time, his fierce glaring down at me like a predator and his four paws taking slow but long strides towards me as I backed aw
Aleric Dolce POV. Sapphire sat frozen to the ground, unable to move. Her eyes were filled with conflicting emotions as she stared back at me, stunned and too traumatized by everything she had experience, dark mascara streaked across her cheeks. She wasn't meant to see this. The existence of werewolves were meant to be hidden in secrets away from the eyes and ears of every human. But those drunk baboons were too foolish, too stupid and horny that they had to transform into a wolf to have their way with her. It was against the rules of this Pack for any werewolf to molest a woman, not to talk of shifting into a wolf before the eyes of a human, so I was left with no other choice than to do the necessary as the future Alpha of the Lykoria Pack and also fulfilling my responsibility of protecting my mate, which was to brutally kill them in the worse way possible for trying to have their way with my mate and for also traumatizing her after shifting into a creature she was never meant t
Sapphire's POV. Aleric's nod crushed my hopes. “Yes, they are. Your friends are the Gamma's children.” I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. “What?!” I exclaimed, my voice barely above a whisper. Just then, a sudden thud hit the rooftop and I whipped my head to the sound in an instant. “What was that?” I gasped, my heart racing with multiple thoughts. I couldn't believe that I had been kept in the shadows for so long not knowing how much my life was in danger by being surrounded by so many supernatural beings I had thought only existed in books. Aleric sighed tiredly, showing his exhaustion as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He spoke quietly, “I know what you're doing, dude. But quit at it. She's been frightened enough now. I wouldn't want her to pass out in my penthouse.” My heart still thumping fast with my hairs standing on my skin, my y brows furrowed, confused about who he was talking to, “Who are you talking to? Do you know what made that sound?” I inquired, moving cl
Sapphire's POV. “No, ma'am. There’s been a change of plans. Madame Blue Rose has returned home early and has been asking for you.” The air seemed to leave my lungs, and I felt a sinking sensation in my stomach as my heart dropped! 'Oh No! What excuse am I going to give to her for taking so much time to get home?' A sudden horn of a motorcycle pierced into my ears and I jerked, turning to Aleric with frightened eyes. “I am counting on you, Sapphire. Don't let us down,” Aleric said on a serious note and a gulp ran down my throat nervously. I gave a slight nod of both understanding and assurance and Aleric gave me a full smile, patting my head twice before making a swift turn onto the street, riding off into the night on his wolf bike as the engines roared louder. I turned to Butler Adams who was staring at Aleric who had already ridden into the distance. “Who is he? You didn't tell me you've got a boyfriend at college already, Phire.” My cheeks flushed pink hue as I waved it
Lisa's POV. Sapphire dragged me down into the Janitor's room and slammed the door shut behind her quietly then locked it up with the keys. "Why did you bring me here? What's wrong that you had to pull me all the way from the class just to speak to me privately here?" I inquired, curious. But Sapphire had her arms crossed over her chest as she leaned onto the door, glaring hard at me. "What? Why are you glaring?" I was confused. "Quit the pretense, Lisa. I know about everything you've been hiding from me for so long. So you don't need to put on a clueless act anymore," My heart hit pit bottom the moment she said those words. What did she mean by that? "How could you? I thought we were friends and that as friends, we shouldn't hide anything from each other. But it's been so fucking long since we knew each other, yet you didn't bother to let me know? Do you really see me as someone who is untrustworthy that you can't tell your secrets to because I won't keep it within myself
Sapphire's POV.I and Lisa tumbled to the ground as I fell on her, and the door came crashing open as it slammed against the wall."What the heck are you girls doing in here?!" The cleaner gasped, eyes wide open and our worse fear of she thinking wrongly of our sexuality seemed to be coming true. "And on top of each other too? Don't tell me you girls were...""No no no, it's nothing like that," I interjected, my heart hammering in my ribs as I got up from Lisa's body who was groaning underneath my weight. "We weren't doing anything of that sort. We only came here to catch up.. like have a conversation."She crossed her arms with her brows arched, "A conversation? In the Janitor's room..?" She asked with a disbelieving laugh. "Do I look like a kid to you? I know what I saw kiddo. You were making out with her!" Lisa shoved me aside, moving me behind her back as she came forward, "Don't misinterpret things here, ma'am. We aren't lesbians. And if we were making out, you would have caught
Aleric Dolce POV. "It’s none of my concern if I’m your mate or not, but I’ll tell you this now: I, Sapphire Walters, reject you, Alpha Aleric Dolce, as my fated mate. And I choose Kaiser Dolce as my Chosen Mate!" A sharp, searing pain hit my chest as I stumbled backward. It felt as though my entire world was crashing down, the weight of it suffocating me. My heart clenched in agony, and my wolf howled in torment within me. Breathing became an impossible task, each inhale a struggle. I had been afraid of rejecting her, but in the end, it was I who had been rejected. I had hurt her so deeply, and now, this was the price I was paying.I could barely speak, my throat tight, the rejection still echoing in my mind. I looked at Sapphire, my heart breaking with the unbearable weight of her gaze as she turned to to me, her eyes devoid of any trace of warmth or love. The disgust in them was unmistakable. With a cold indifference, she helped him up and began to walk toward the exit.I couldn’
Aleric Dolce POV.I felt like I was drowning in guilt, and no word could even begin to describe how deeply it cut. What I did to Sapphire, I knew it was wrong, but I had no choice. I had to do it—even though it would rip her apart. The ache in my chest intensified every time I thought about her tears after the announcement of my wedding date. It was even worse when I saw Kaisar sitting across from her at the same table, acting like the perfect hero, while I—what was I? A villain? Someone who’d only caused her pain?I was suffocating under the weight of my own mistakes, every one of them stacking up until it felt like I was going mad. The truth was, I had no idea how to get out of this mess, caught between the trap my cousin had set for me and the one I had set for myself.It was all part of his plan. Kaisar had manipulated me, used me as a pawn to get what he wanted, and now, somehow, he had dragged Sapphire into his schemes. I had warned her, told her to stay away, but she hadn’t lis
Sapphire's POV."Searching for someone?" The familiar voice snapped me right out of my thoughts. I turned and saw professor Kaiser drawing out a sit as he sat down opposite me at the table. "Not at all," I lied with a fake smile. "Just looking around." "Oh okay, I see. The party will begin soon and—" his eyes moved behind me. "Here they come, the best awaited and newest soon to be couple!" He announced, laughing and I looked over my shoulder to see who it was.I saw some rich looking people walking into the hall with full elegance. They seemed to have similar traits and appearance with lady Marinette, especially the stunning woman at the front whom was dressed impeccably in a shimmering green dress that complimented her emerald green eyes.. I guessed that she must be Lady Marinette's mother while the rest could also be her family.Right after them was Lady Marinette, walking graciously into the hall through the door, putting on a similar dress like her mum as she also took a table s
Sapphire's POV. The next morning, by the time I woke up, I found myself stark naked under the sheets but the previous wild night we had together never left my mind as I smiled softly with my cheeks all tainted red.My first night was taken by the man I had always yearned for it all felt like heaven on earth whenever I remember the painful but sweet feeling that sent an adrenaline of pleasures through my whole body as I convulsed before blacking out, feeling tired. The smile I had on my lips grew wider as I turned to the other side of the bed, planning on kissing him a Good Morning on his lips but when I checked, Aleric was— "He is gone?" I thought aloud, my gaze scanning the whole room. It felt like a dream but his touch, the kiss, the promises he made in my ear— I knew it was all real. I sat up on my bed, my back against the headboard, "It couldn't be a dream," I whispered, restlessly raking my hands through my hair. "It just can't be! He was here, I am sure I saw him. I felt and
Sapphire's POV.His face turned really sour."It's painful, isn't it?" I chuckled, walking up to him with my arms folded across my chest. "That's how I felt when you—" "Enough!" He growled, frightening me as I took a step back away from him. He threw the cheque at my face and I gasped at his action, "Take this cheque, pack your things and leave this Pack if you don't want to see the other side of me, Sapphire!" He threatened. He pointed to the cheque that fell lightly like a feather on the tiled floor as he added, "Right there is more than a hundred thousand US dollars on the floor. It should be enough for you to restart your life elsewhere and make a name for yourself. But the last thing I want to do is seeing you and that THING you call your lover together again! I've warned you, Sapphire, so it's best for you to heed to my warnings." I laughed, a bitter smile playing on my lips as I took a step closer to him and I asked. "What do you take me for, Aleric? A slut? A Gold digger t
Sapphire's POV.By the time we got home and I went into my bedroom, I found Lisa seated on my bed. She seemed to be lost in deep thoughts as she subconsciously scribbled on her notebook.I walked in and placed my bag on the bedside table but she was yet to notice my presence. She looked so pale and her hair needed to get done in a saloon. "Hey, what are you thinking about?" I asked, sitting beside her on the edge of the bed and she suddenly bolted like she had been snapped out of her lost thoughts with her eyes opened."When did you get in?" She breathed, picking up her notebook that had fallen on the floor."Erm, few seconds ago? But definitely not up to a minute." I answered with a gentle smile that slowly turned into concern. "But what's wrong with you? You look pale and unhealthy, like something's really bothering your mind and it's deeply affecting your wellbeing, Lisa. I've been noticing this for a while but I decided to keep quiet. But I can't anymore."She sighed, a forced sm
Sapphire's POV.I ran back into the ballroom where I sighted Aunt Karissa's gaze scanning worriedly around the place. She looked disturbed. The moment her gaze met mine, a look of relief washed over her features as she sprinted up to me. She grabbed my arms. "Where have you been, Phire? I thought you said you wanted to be in the ballroom to watch the engagement ceremony, so why did you go off?" She scolded and my gaze dropped to my feet."I am sorry, Aunt," I muttered. "I felt the need to get some ventilation because I was suffocating in here. That's why I had to go into the garden," I whispered, unable to look into her eyes because half of what I said was a lie.It was a truth that I went to the garden for some fresh air because I was suffocating but it wasn't really due to lack of air, it was because I felt my heart breaking into pieces once again and I couldn't watch Aleric getting engaged to someone else after everything we had together, it felt so fucking unbearable to watch so
Sapphire's POV. My breath seized at the mention of my name and that all too familiar voice I've gotten used to over time. Slowly raising my gaze up to the owner of that familiar voice, my eyes widened to see my professor standing before me with a thin smile hanging on his lips as he wiped away my tears. "Professor Kaiser?" I muttered inaudibly but he heard it as his smile grew wider. "What are you doing here at the Packhouse?" He chuckled, "what else if not attending the same asshole's engagement who had broken your heart? " I blinked repeatedly, not understanding how he found out about what happened between Aleric and I but then it made sense that he must have heard about it from the rumors that were spreading around college. "Here, you can keep this," he handed me his hankie and I hesitantly accepted it. "Th-thank you," I murmured in a stutter and he took a seat beside me on the swing without my consent. "No need to thank me, Sapphire. You know you shouldn't waste thos
Sapphire's POV.He continued, his voice full of pride, “My son has far exceeded my expectations, and I am honored to bring to the stage the new Alpha King of our Pack, who will be getting engaged today to the most beautiful young lady, the Alpha's daughter of the Night Crawlers Pack, and my son’s future wife—Lady Marinette!” The spotlight shifted to a couple making their way onto the stage, their arms wrapped around each other in an intimate, almost romantic embrace.There they were: Lady Marinette and the Alpha King—Aleric. I stood frozen, unable to process what was happening.'Aleric was the current Alpha of the Pack? And he was about to get engaged to Lady Marinette?' My mind raced, the shock sinking deep into my bones. I couldn’t make sense of it.'Why didn't he tell me?' The thought was like a jolt. 'Why didn’t he tell me he was from the Royal Family and would one day lead the Pack? Why didn’t he tell me the truth about who he was?' The realization hit me like a tidal wave, and b
