Berrilyl's POV

Liah's eyes gleamed with determination as she explained our escape plan. "We need to pass through the slave quarters secretly. We slaves are usually exhausted after a long day's work and sleep soundly. Even if someone wakes up, they'll be too tired to follow us or raise an alarm."

I nodded, my heart racing with anticipation. "Okay, what's the next step?"

"You follow me to the garden ahead," Liah whispered.

"What's the plan when we get here?"

Liah smiled mischievously. "That is where we make our escape."

I frowned, confused. "The garden? But how?"

Liah chuckled. "You'd be surprised. The garden stretches all the way to the outskirts of an urban city."

My eyes widened in amazement. "We can reach the city through the garden? That's incredible!"

Liah nodded. "I know, right? It's the perfect escape route."

I turned to her, curiosity getting the better of me. "So, why haven't you escaped before now?"

Liah's expression turned sombre, and she looked down at her feet. "I was sca

    Berrilyl's POVWe ran past the guards, our feet pounding the ground in unison. For a moment, I believed we would actually make it. But the guards were too strong, too fast. They quickly gave chase, their shouts and footsteps closing in on us.I wished for the moon goddess to help make the right thing happen as I ran.After what felt like an eternity, we were finally caught by the guards. They grabbed us roughly, holding us in a tight grip. I struggled against them, but it was no use. We were trapped, and our bid for freedom had been lost forever.I tried to wolf out and maybe I could still fight but I was too weak, all my strength was gone. I've not been eating good food since. I looked at Liah and she looked at me terrified, I felt so bad for her. She would have been sleeping if not for me going to pressurize her into telling me about the exit and, convincing her to come."Aren't you the one the Alpha wants to marry?" The guard holding me asked."No, I'm the one the Alpha is forcing

    Berrilyl's POVI couldn't believe he would give me her head as a wedding gift. It was the worst thing ever. I thought maybe I had a wrong impression about him when he was talking with Jake but I realized I was mistaken.What was I even thinking? A heartless person like him would never even flinch or feel anything after doing something as heinous as this. I was horrified by the sight. Even if he wanted to kill her, I didn't know why he had to kill her that way. The way she looked at me before she died was registered in my brain. I couldn't think properly seeing her whom I assured that everything was going to be okay no matter what lay on the floor headless.After discussing something with Jake, he looked at me and asked "Are you going to take your gift or not?""Nooo!" I screamed with rage."That's a very good decision. Guards grab her. It's time for her next punishment" he grinned at me and immediately two guards grabbed me and started dragging me as I was defiant to follow them."Wha

    Cage's POVIt was not surprising to me at all that she was trying to run away from me. I knew she would resort to such stupidity and of all the people she wanted to run away with, she chose Liah. She loved walking herself into danger with the kind of people she moved with. Maybe it was just a repercussion catching up on her for all the things she had done before. I thanked the moon goddess for everything she did. I was so lucky to be like this after everything that had happened to me before.I saw the presence of sunlight peeking through the windows casting a golden glow. I decided to go and pay her a visit to the cell she was in. She spent her night trying to run away from me and in the end it was useless, I bet she must be regretting not going to sleep and most of all, she would be feeling bad for Liah who wasn't even worth it. She was also so in love with that pretentious thing named Owens, whom she was still doing everything for even though he was dead. She was so stupid and naiv

    Cage's POV "Stop your lies," Berrilyl said. "You're just trying to make me feel bad and guilty for what I did not do. You want me to think I'm like you but I'm not" Berrilyl protested."You're like that in a way. It's not my fault you forgot them all. It's your doing" I replied but I knew it would change nothing. She wouldn't believe me. She'd keep thinking I was making stories and trying to instigate her against her brother. My heart still ached that she chose to forget. She chose to forget us and everyone who suffered because of her but I'd make her pay for what she did."Sir, William sent a message" Jake said and from his countenance, I could see that the message wasn't gonna be okay."Read it out," I said."I'm sorry I might not be able to come to your wedding, I have an appointment with an important client this month and will be travelling out. I've already bought the tickets. I'm sorry. I can come after I'm done. I'd visit you and your husband. You know I value you so much but

    Cage's POVHer words were so unexpected. The way she decided to handle the situation was quite different. She normally does everything just so she can protect that stupid dead body but this time, I guess her brain was developing from doing things for idiots like Owens who didn't deserve it one bit.I was annoyed that she had stopped typing the message to her brother and dared to oppose me but somewhere in me, I was quite happy that Owens's influence on her had reduced to a great extent. It wasn't as intense as it was before.I took the phone from her hand and laughed while reading what she typed. "Wow, I love how much you love me" I grinned."Don't worry, I would surely do what I want with their bodies. I would use them to my satisfaction especially now that you've said it" I said.I took the phone and started typing the message. "He might suspect what you write because there would surely be a difference between the way we write," she said."Don't worry, your fiance knows what to wr

    Berrilyl's POVIt was quite surprising that he changed from his usual mean ways to a sudden flirt. The most annoying thing was that I was blushing as he said that. My heart skipped a beat which made me shocked. It was unusual. It was rare. I didn't get what was happening. Perhaps, the method he used in finding everything about me was what he was now using to' me."What is wrong with you? You can't speak. That means I was correct'' he grinned and said with anger ''Get this into your head. You're with me only out of punishment. Whatever you are thinking in that head of yours that's making you blush is in your dreams. It's never going to happen. You're just a slave. You don't deserve a second chance. You and I can never be together"He said and I looked at him surprised, one second he was grinning, and the next he was angry. I just couldn't understand him and his mood swings."You were the one trying to pair us together and now you're going against it like I even want to stay with you""

    Berrilyl's POVIt was so disgusting and irritating. I wanted to vomit the food I ate before, only that I was in need of food so much that I didn't want to puke. I reached out to the water near me and was about to drink it but I started imagining that he made them rinse the finger in it to give me. I took it up and smelled it but I didn't smell anything unusual so I gurgled the water in my cheeks and spat it out.But seeing his finger made me want to sink myself to the floor for not suspecting anything. I was stupid to stop examining the food and eating it because of its very welcoming aroma. When in fact, it was the reason I ended up eating the finger. They had made it smell so lovely to hide the smell of that rotten finger. It was like if care wasn't taken this place would become a horror movie for me. I would become haunted by my dead husband's body part by Cage. I pushed the food away from me and stared at it with disgust. It was very annoying and I wished I could appear in the pl

    Berrilyl's POV "Follow me and stop staring," Cage said. With anger" he groaned. I was just wondering in my mind what was with him. He was such a damn idiotic and annoying person who liked to boss around. I wondered what was so bad in admiring something. I scoffed and followed him. My heart couldn't stop beating with joy as I saw him enter through the gate to the magnificent palace. I followed him on with happiness. It was the nicest thing that had happened to me since I came here. It was the best place I had been to since I had been here. Every other place made me feel like I was in ancient times. It was crazy how it was as if the pack was divided into three, the residential area, the palace and the punishment area but I wasn't even sure that was all. I never knew it was this big and nice. I never thought he was the Alpha to these plenty of people. I thought I was in a small pack that was in need of control, and capturing my brother was a way of trying to expand his pack or be in c

    Cage's POVThe instant the scream from Berrilyl reached my ears, my heart contracted in a way it shouldn't have. My body had moved well before my brain kicked in and I turned sharply in the direction of her voice. I caught her running toward me, a look of concern twisting her face, along with something else, it was fear.In That split second, the distraction almost cost me my life.A rogue caught me out of focus and charged at me, his blade was aimed right at my exposed side; I barely had time to react. Instinct kicked in, and I twisted my body in time, the blade grazing across my ribs instead of burying into my flesh. The pain was sharp, but I pushed it aside, countering it with a vicious strike that sent the rogue stumbling back.I hadn't had a chance to finish him off.Berrilyl was too close now, too close."What are you doing?!" I snapped at her, latching onto her arm and yanking her behind me. My grip was firm as my heart still hammered in my chest from the near miss.The rogue

    Cage's POVTonight, the air is weighted with unvoiced challenge. I sit at the far edge of Mansion's yard, my body bent and tensed on guard. The torches from behind the stone walls seemed to threaten and would violently hang, casting malicious shadowing alongside me in silence. Miliano stood on my right-hand side, still as a ghoulish smile stretched his tanned skin from nose to neck end."Bring the secret guard and surround the Mansion," I ordered, having my voice drop steady, emotionless when inside me chaos brewed.Miliano nodded profoundly. "Aye." And with that, he turned on his heel and motioned for the men we had trained in secret to take their position. They shifted like ghosts and moved into their positions, efficient but silent; slipping into darkness as if they were spawned from it.Just as we were going to make our move, I felt it, the unnatural shift in the air, followed by the distant yet unmistakable sound of approaching footsteps. Lots of them. My instincts screamed a war

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 121

    Berrilyl's POV I was sitting in my room, my mind spinning from everything Cage had shown me earlier. The pictures, the messages, the so-called evidence. I couldn’t make sense of it. My thoughts were all jumbled, and no matter how hard I tried to push them away, they kept coming back.How could Owen—someone I thought I knew—do something like that? He wouldn’t cheat on me, especially not with someone like that young mistress. And how does Cage have all this evidence? The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. It just didn’t add up. But I had no answers, and all I could do was try to sleep and hope my mind would stop racing.I was lost in thought until my eyes started closing up. As soon as I started to drift off, the loud sound of an alarm shattered the silence. My eyes shot open, heart racing. The sound was so harsh, so urgent. Then came the footsteps—the hurried thud of boots across the floor, the sound of people running. My mind couldn’t catch up to what was happening,

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 120

    Berrilyl's POVI couldn't believe that Cage could still fabricate evidence to fool me. All along, I knew he was clever and knew how to play the game-twisting realities to his advantage-but never did I think he would go that far. It was using my emotions, trust, and vulnerability to his advantage, and it seemed in the worst possible way-a betrayal.I stood there, frozen in absolute disbelief as Cage laid before me what felt like a mountain of photographs, messages, and documents. Overwhelmingly, each bit of "evidence" that he had in his hands seemed to lead me further down the path on which I really did not want to tread. How could he do it? How could he lie to me so in my face, knowing how much I love Owen?A rage bubbled in my chest, and I couldn't hold it inside anymore. "You're lying!" I screamed, my voice cracking. The words tasted bitter in my mouth, but they needed to be said. There was no other way. "You're just trying to manipulate me, Cage. You think I'll believe this garbage

    Cage's POVThe next day, I made a maid bring Berrilyl to my chambers. As she entered, I was relieved to see that her complexion was better. The dad's circles under her had faded, and her skin had regained some of its natural glow.I felt glad that she was finally out of being a public slave, even though it was me who turned her into one. The humility from that young mistress annoyed me and it was time to make her pay and maybe make Berrilyl hate her more.But I didn't show my relief; I remained in my usual stoic expression, not wanting to give away concern for her well-being. I had specifically ordered the kitchen not to disturb Berrilyl for a few days, and to just deliver her meals at the appropriate time. She had to gain her strength before she would be able to do anything. I wanted her to rest. What I put her through was hard, not only for her. It was also hard for me to keep her there but sometimes I convinced myself that she deserved it. As u looked at her, I could see the ex

    Cage's POVI was sitting in my room, lost in thought when a guard burst in. His was distorted, and I could tell from his exasperation that he had run all the way here."Sir, Beta Milano and his group have returned", he said, but his voice was laced with a sense of urgency that baffled me."What is it?" I asked, my mind already racing with possibilities; I hope it wasn't true."Sir, he and his group are injured" the guard replied, his voice tight with concern. "They're in the infirmary"I didn't hesitate. I rushed to the infirmary with my heart pounding in my chest. I just hoped that whatever happened wasn't so severe and he was still okay.When I arrived, I was met with a scene of chaos. Most of the warriors were injured, some more seriously than the others, but I didn't see any dead bodies, so I was thankful, although I wasn't sure.Milano himself was lying on a bed, his face pale and drawn. His injuries and those of other warriors were been taken care of.I rushed to his side, my mi

    Berrilyl's POVI watched him go, storming off heavily in anger and frustration. I hesitated a moment before stepping from behind the screen of shadows. Talia stood there, her back to me, but I could see her shoulders quivering a bit."You're not even going to ask how long I've been standing there?" I said, stepping closer. My voice was calm, teasing even, but my words didn't weigh quite as much as usual.Talia didn't flinch. She didn't turn around in surprise as I had anticipated.I already knew you were there, she said in a low voice.That threw me off. Talia was never anything but sharp-tongued, always ready with either an acid comment or a glare to dismiss with. Now, however, her voice came soft and unreadable, and her face finally turned toward me. But what was surprising was tears in her eyes, swimming at the edges, threatening to spill, she kept blinking over and over again trying to push them away.For whatever reason, that expression in that pose got through. Sympathy, perhaps

    Berrilyl's POVI wasn't eavesdropping not this time, anyway and I certainly wasn't trying to spy on them. Curiosity held me firmly in my hiding place, though, when Jake's voice started rising in frustration."Talia," he started, his words tight with frustration, "Why have you been avoiding me? What have I done to treat you like the monster that makes you shun me?Talia hesitated. Not seeing her face, I could sense her uneasiness at the long silence that followed. She always faltered in confrontation."It's not that, Jake," she said finally, barely above a whisper. "I'm not avoiding you because you've done anything wrong. I just don't want to. The others to misunderstand."Jake scoffed. “Misunderstand what, exactly? That we’re friends? That we’ve known each other for some time now? Is that something to be ashamed of now?”His frustration was palpable, and it wasn’t hard to see why. Jake had always been a straightforward kind of man, someone who spoke his mind without worrying about jud

    Berrilyl's POV However Cage told me to freshen up and eat, telling me that I stank. And for a moment, I didn't quite understand why he would say such a thing. Did he think I smelled this badly? It wasn't as if I had a choice. I had no proper means of washing and grooming, not in that cage. But the very thought of him thinking that way, of him envisioning me in such a state, shook something within me like embarrassment I couldn't get rid of.I dragged my aching body to my room despite my weakness. I had no other choice. I couldn't let him think I was some filthy, uncaring prisoner who didn't even take care of herself. That was one thing I could control, at least personal dignity. Even if everything else was slipping through my fingers, I could still manage to freshen up, even if it took every last ounce of strength I had left.I went into the bathroom, locking the door behind me. The mirror above the sink showed a reflection I barely recognized. My face was pale, hollowed, and streake
