CHAPTERDaphine POV"What is going on?" I questioned in shock as soon as I'd left Rory's room. "Why had he treated me that way?""Thinking about this alone is giving me headache" Jasmine retorted."Let's just go into Ray's room. We have to win him over before Emily does as the pack alpha has ordered""Was Rex right?" I worried. "Are Rory and Ray no longer interested in me?""Snap out of it, girl!" Jasmine scolded. "They can't just stop being attracted to us all of a sudden. Something must be causing this."Nodding my head, I agreed with Jasmine. I decided to take Jasmine's advice and made my way to Ray's room antsy and restless.Standing Infront of his room, I adjusted my clothes and hair before rapping lightly on the door. "Ray, it's Daphine. Can I come in?" No response. I rapped on it yet again. "Ray?""For goddess sake, what is wrong with these men?!" Jasmine growled. "Just break down the door already""Shut it!" I shouted. "I'm already antsy and you're not helping!""Daphine, Is
Daphine povThe bed tonight was softer, more comfortable and lulling me into sinking deeper and burying my face into my pillow. The tears cascaded with so much speed that equated to the pain in my heart. I bit my lips to prevent any sound from escaping as I cried harder. My shoulders shook and I let myself go. The tears weren't going to stop soon and I wasn't going to try to stop either. Perhaps after sobbing, it would relieve me of the pain I was feeling, of the hurt that settled heavily in my heart.Thinking of Ray, all I saw was blankness, a blank future with Ray. There was no way I would experience the happiness I deserve with him. Despite the fact that I was their mate they never ceased to hurt me. No matter how hard my wishful heart thought, I failed to paint that future with Ray. It was a useless attempt that made a whimper escape me. I further dug into my pillow wallowing in self pity.There was only one person I was confident had my back and it was Rex. I tossed to the far
DAPHINE POVAfter successfully pulling myself together and not letting Ella see through what was brewing in my mind. We headed towards the dining table where Ella began setting the table.It was just me and the Rory's new girl who Ella told me her name. Celine, I couldn't deny that the name was as beautiful as she was but I was inwardly cursing her manners. From the way she looked down at the food Ella had laid down, I could tell I didn't like her. The aroma was compelling, it wafted through my nostril and almost made me forget her existence.Almost. Because the instance we both dug in, I moaned at the exquisite taste soundly but a loud hiss interrupted me. To my side, Celine had her fork mid air with the most disgusting expression I had ever seen. "You burnt the onions." Celine complaints.I made to butt in and point out to her that it was just perfect, deeply fried and it was responsible for the rich taste of the breakfast. But Celine didn't let me, she reached for the glass of wate
DAPHINE POVThere was no one in the garden, it was why I chose the spot. Peaceful and lonely enough to cry. I curled myself into a ball and pulled my knees to my chest. The flowers appeared dull, though they beamed under the early morning sun but to me, they were mocking me for my plight, for what I found myself into. My head was pounding, from the dissipating headache of earlier and the one my crying was causing.I kept my head against my knee cap and cried to my heart content. I was wallowing in self pity, if I wasn't this way, would they have treated me any less? For the first time in my life I suddenly wished I was an Omega. Perhaps, then I would have being blessed with a fated mate. I wonder what that would look like, would I be happy? Devoid of this sinking and painful feeling? Of heartbreaks and degradations? It would be nice but since I wasn't, I tightened my arms and cried even harder.Life wasn't fair, I didn't deserve this. What have I done? Who did I wrong to be punished
CHAPTERRex POVI looked up and noticed the man staring down at me in confusion. He rushed over to Ivory's side, who was still subconscious."She has no life." His words fueled my anxiety. Did I do anything wrong? Did I cast the wrong spell? Did he give me the right book? Several questions kept flying through my head. However one main thing reminded constant in my subconscious thoughts; I had possessed strange energy."Listen, we need to do something, I need to help her. It is obvious the Bishap book didn't help." I pleaded to the man, whose name I am yet to discover."I have someone that could perfectly explain the whole situation. I am merely a library keeper, who knows all the books here." Staring at Ivory's lifeless body, I couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty. Even in her subconscious state, she was still very perfect."Lead me to this person you talk about, I beg you." I watched as he rushed over to his counter, pulled up a pen and a paper and scribbled something unto the p
CHAPTERDaphine POVThe world was quiet for some moment, till my ears began to pick up whispers. I couldn't comprehend what was happening. The whispers increased and after a while, I heard a slight giggle, followed by a groan of frustration.Right before I could open my eyes to comprehend what was happening, a bright light illuminated my face and at that moment, I used my hand as a shield to protect my face. "Happy Birthday!" I smiled, seeing the people that had gathered in my room with several birthday presents. Slowly I got up from the bed as they urged me to snuff out the candle. It was my eighteenth birthday and I had almost forgotten about it. My family were the best and seeing their happy faces light up my day. I cut through the cake and tasted it, feeling it's goodness."So Ivory, what is your birthday wish?" My beloved sister Rachel asked. She is the life of the house and always had a means to make everyone feel good about themselves."I haven't really thought about anyone."
CHAPTERRex POVThe world stopped almost the second I laid eyes on the young maiden right before me. There was something about her that pulled me close, but I couldn't lay hands to it. At her left hand, I noticed a dagger and it was apparent she was up to no good. Her pale body, coupled with her long nails gave me the hint that she was a witch."What do you want from me?" I pulled my riffles and aimed it directly at her. She had her hands up in the air, her eyes still holding signs of recognition."What is strange is that I have seen you before and this scene several times." Her statement caught me off guard. I perfectly understood the fact that witches were magical creatures, but I never knew they could speak parables as well."What are you talking about." She was about to explain, when a bright light flashed across the tunnel, almost blinding my vision."Good Job Mr. Taylor, we will take it from here." Adjusting my eyesight to the light, several men had surrounded the tunnel, all wi
Chapter Rex POVI was lost in her eyes, the moment she came out of the woods. I wondered if she was ever stalking me."What are you doing here.. Especially with a dagger in your hands." She dropped her dagger and seemed to be contemplating about something. On a closer look to her demeanor, I noticed she was a little moody; almost in the same manner as someone who was sulking."None of your business." She indicated placing the dagger back into her cloak and attempting to leave."It would have been none of my business initially, but considering I saved your life from the witch hunters, I think I deserve some credits." I revealed with a smile up on my face. She literally rolled her eyes at me, walking casually over to my side with a look of no emotion laced up on her face."Listen to me human, I don't want to have anything to do with your creature and indeed I am truly grateful for your help, which is why I am showing mercy. I had the intention of slitting that throat of yours, the mome
