Cage's POV

The tension in the room was unbearable. Berrilyl’s breaths were still shallow, barely a whisper of life left in her. I had already exhausted every option, and the constant cycle of physicians entering and leaving with nothing but grim faces was starting to wear on me. The weight of helplessness pressed down on my chest.

I didn’t know what to do anymore. The fear was suffocating, gnawing at my insides, and no matter how hard I tried to control it, it was consuming me. I couldn’t lose her. I couldn’t lose Berrilyl. The thought of her slipping away from me, of her dying without ever knowing how much I needed her—how much I still cared—was a pain I couldn’t bear.

I didn’t care if anyone thought I was overreacting. I didn’t care if my actions seemed desperate or irrational. None of it mattered. Not now. All I could think about was her, lying there, her skin turning blue, her breaths shallow and barely there. It felt like time was running out, and I had no way to stop it.

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 60

    Cage's POV The room was silent but for the sound of Berrilyl's light breathing. The physician leaned over her, placing a small pill between her lips, and coaxed her to swallow. Her body quivered, yet lay still. Her face was pale, damp with sweat. "She's stable for the time being," the physician said, breaking the silence. “The pill will help neutralize some of the poison, but her body is still under attack. I’ll need to prepare a bath with these herbs.” She pulled a bundle of dried green leaves from his bag, their sharp, earthy scent filling the air. “You’ll need to wash her body thoroughly. The toxins can seep through the skin, and this will help draw them out.”I nodded, glancing down at Berrilyl's fragile form. The weight of responsibility pressed against my chest. "What do I need to do?"The physician handed me the herbs, herinstructions clear but grim. "Boil these in water and let it cool to lukewarm. Use the solution to bathe her completely. It's critical to cover every inch o

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 61

    Cage's POVI watched Berrilyl being locked in her fragile lifeless state for three days. She lay so still, her chest rising in shallow breaths so light that I'd lean in to make certain she was alive.The pills the physician had prescribed seemed to do little, if anything, to help her. I crushed them into powder every day, dissolved them in water, and fed her with painstaking care. But with each dose, my hope dwindled further.Her hair, which was heavy and shining, now had broken even with the simple touch of fingers. And her skin was pale as it had acquired that uncanny blue tint, jeering at my efforts. With every passing hour, this felt like a knife, twisting in my chest and grimly reminding me of my helplessness.For the first time in so many years, I had become really scared.I lay awake, staring at the ceiling as my mind whirred with memories. How could I? Every time I shut my eyes, I saw her, her sharp eyes ablaze with hatred, words that cut into me like shards of glass. Now, tho

    Cage's POV"Cage I don't just understand what is going on with you anymore. You've been the best person in the world, and you've been very nice to me but all of a sudden you've changed. You've changed to start caring about your enemy" She said in a very sad voice that would have broken my heart but it didn't seem to matter to me. I didn't feel bad for her but instead, I pitied Berrilyl."It's like you have turned upside down. You aren't yourself anymore. You're like a strange Cage. A Cage that has turned so different" she said.What she said hit me hard. I didn't pay attention to what she at first but I looked at myself and looked at Berrilyl. I had told myself that I'd never have anything to do with Berrilyl anymore and I would make her pay for every single incident that happened. My determination to make sure that I get my revenge on her and her brother was still the same but I couldn't just sit back and watch her die as much as I hated her or as much as I wanted to take my revenge

    Cage’s POVBerrilyl wasn’t fully awake. Her eyes fluttered open now and then, but she didn’t seem aware of her surroundings. The coughing, though—it didn’t stop. Each rasping sound sent a jolt through me, and I felt utterly powerless.She needed water.I grabbed a cup and filled it quickly, kneeling beside her bed. “Berrilyl,” I said softly, trying to rouse her. Her head lolled to the side, her lips dry and cracked.“Come on,” I murmured. “Just a little.”Carefully, I brought the cup to her lips and tilted it. She coughed again, the sound harsh and grating and most of the water dribbled down her chin. Some of it splashed onto my shirt, soaking through to my skin, but I didn’t care. My focus was entirely on her.Her breathing hitched as she tried to swallow, and I adjusted the angle of the cup, holding her head steady with my other hand. Slowly, she managed to take a sip, then another. I didn’t stop until the cup was empty.Grace was still in the room—I could feel her presence behind m

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 64

    Cage's POVI stood still, my gaze on Berrilyl with a heaviness which refused to lift off me. The moment she slumped from her futile effort to stand, her action hit me. I didn't say anything, neither for her defense nor even more accusations, and that felt heavier than all the words I could have said at the time.Berrilyl had always been strong, proud even, and seeing her like this was. unnerving. A voice in my head whispered that somehow I had failed her, even if I didn't fully understand how.Grace stepped forward. "You know, Berrilyl," she said, her voice cool, "you have yourself to blame for this.I went rigid. The things Grace said were so cruelly, unnecessarily, and I did nothing to correct her because my mind was too knotted up in guilt and confusion to do much of anything.Berrilyl, however, fixed Grace with a ferocity in her stare that belied her current state. "You. snake," she spat, the voice raw and shaking. "You think you've won, don't you?Grace raised an eyebrow and cros

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 65

    Cage's POVI sat beside Berrilyl's bed, watching her shallow breaths between conscious and unconscious. So fragile she looked, so opposite to the firecracker I'd grown to know. I reached to adjust the damp cloth on her forehead, and just that second, her breathing hitched and her body tensed, then went completely limp."Berrilyl!" I called, my hand clawing at my chest. I leaned in, shaking her lightly, but she didn't respond.Fear surged through me as I yelled for help. The door burst open and Talia rushed in with the physician hot on her heels. The woman moved swiftly to Berrilyl's side, checking her pulse and examining her with a calm efficiency that I envied."She'll be fine," the physician said after a few moments in a voice firm. "She's exhausted and weak, but her body is fighting the poison. She just needs rest."The relief that swept over me was almost overwhelming; my knees threatened to buckle as I took a step back, leaning against the wall. For the first time in days, it fin

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 66

    Cage's POVThe weight of Grace’s cold indifference lingered in my mind. Despite knowing Berrilyl had poisoned my meal, she didn’t seem the least bit affected by the fact that Berrilyl had nearly died. Her calm, calculated demeanour left a bitter taste in my mouth, one I couldn’t ignore.For years, I had seen Grace as a kind, gentle soul—someone who had my best interests at heart. But her reaction, or lack thereof, to Berrilyl’s suffering, made me question everything. If she was capable of such callousness, what else was she hiding?That night, as we finished dinner, Grace moved to follow me to my chambers as she always did. Her steps were light and measured, her soft voice calling out my name.“Cage, wait,” she said, her tone laced with concern.I stopped but didn’t turn to face her. The thoughts swirling in my mind made it impossible to meet her gaze.“You should rest tonight,” I said, my voice colder than I intended.“Rest?” she repeated, confusion evident in her tone. “I thought we

    Berrilyl's POVThe cold, steel doors creaked open, and the guards entered with their usual impassive expressions, their boots echoing heavily against the stone floor. I had no choice but to follow them. They didn’t speak, but the glances they exchanged told me everything I needed to know. I was nothing more than an object to be moved around, controlled and confined. They had no mercy, no care for who I was, just a job to do.They led me down dark corridors, the light from the torches flickering on the walls, casting eerie shadows that danced around me like specters. My thoughts were jumbled, racing as I tried to comprehend what was happening. I had been betrayed by Cage, and now I was being punished for something I hadn’t even done. I had only tried to protect myself, to survive in this cruel game of manipulation and deceit, but it seemed that no matter how hard I fought, I was destined to lose.As we reached the door of the room where they planned to lock me up, I could hear the faint

    Berrilyl's POVTo my surprise, I heard that my brother's pack was left with no alpha and it had been taken over by some group of greedy wolves. The best part of it was that his Luna wife and the others were taken as concubine under the current leader apart from his wife Lucia who had gone earlier with some people of the pack who believed of in her and some of the slaves in the palace that agreed to help her escape. All the slaves he captured had been set free by Lucia but the ones who stayed due to greedy reason were now all under their new leader.In my opinion, Lucia was very lucky she could escape with some of the people I knew were righteous. The rest of them that I even had as friends were all sleeping with Owens behind my back so I didn't care what happened to them since they didn't bother deceiving me or hurting my feelings. They enjoyed my brother and Owens so they could also enjoy the aftermath. I just felt bad a little since I had many memories there but soon I realized t

    Berrilyl's POV"Are you still in love with that idiot after everything he put you through?" William asked but I ignored him. What I needed was a way that I could make Cage forgive me for everything that I did. For every single thing that happened between us that I ruined, the people that died and leaving his face like that. There were just too many when I thought of it, and I didn't know how exactly I was going to make him forgive me. I figured out that I'd continue to try no matter what. He was the only true love I ever had."You are thinking about him. Aren't you?" William said looking at me with anger and frustration."Of course I am. Why not?""Really Sis? He punished you. Killed Owens. Turned you into a public slave, allowed people to mistreat you like you were nothing!""Yes, I know. And Owens's death was caused by Cage, and to me, it's a good thing because you knew that bastard was cheating on me, and you encouraged me to get married to him, and with what I did, I kinda deser

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 167

    Cage's POVI arrived on the scene to witness something that I had not expected: William, cold and firm, was denying Berrilyl. The words coming out of his mouth were so bitter, as if he had no second thought, no remorse about what he was telling her. His eyes, which were usually so cold, were colder, harder than ever. He gazed at her as a stranger, as a failure, as something that could be discarded. There was no sympathy on his face, only complete disinterest.Berrilyl was before him, her own face twisted and pale with feeling. I could observe the shame and remorse reflected in her eyes.I remained in the entrance, observing them, trying to comprehend what I was seeing. A part of me that continued to resent her. The lies, the hypocrisy, that she had been an accomplice to so much pain. But part of me felt sympathy for her. She was also used, duped by the man she loved more than anyone. I was torn at the time, between my anger at her for what she'd done, and the sense that she was a vict

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 166

    Berrilyl's POVI remained silent at the doorway, concealed in the darkness, ensuring I didn't make any noise. Williams was completely unaware that I was present, hearing everything he said. I didn’t want him to realize I was concealed just behind the door, listening in on what he was saying. My heart pounded while I remained frozen, wishing he wouldn’t see me because I wanted to listen to what he had to say.My heart ached as I listened to the betrayal, the secrets I never could have dreamed of. William's calm, assured tone now trembled with something evil. He spoke of manipulation, and plots to destroy us, and I was only beginning to understand the depth of the lies he had convinced me with. My Alpha, my brother, whom I had thought I could trust and at one point in time even suspected would never desert me, was the architect of my agony.Cage's men were standing in front of me and turned to look at me with their blank faces. It was time. I had heard enough. They had come to drag me fr

    Berrilyl's POVI stood there in shock, my eyes fixed on Cage's. My heart was pounding within me, my head spinning from what he'd told me. He'd been so serious, as if he knew so for certain, speaking of something from my past that I didn't remember myself.I didn't believe him, I just didn't want to do that.I couldn't get the words I'd heard him say out of my head.It was William, my brother whom he had raised up, who guarded me, and who had always cared for me. Cage, however, abducted me, he enslaved me, and now he expected me to embrace his reality?I clenched my fists tight, biting the nails of my palms as I spun around and ran towards my room.I needed to get my head together.The moment I closed the door behind me, I inhaled deeply and my chest tightened in rage. My emotions were all tangled up, but one thing was for sure, I just couldn't believe Cage.I jumped at the knock at the door. My body hardened. Had Cage returned?I hesitated and crept toward the door, slowly opening it

    Berrilyl's POVWhen I regained my consciousness I looked around and found myself in a very dark place that I could at first hardly see a thing. I tried raising my hands and felt severe pain; I was wounded in different places; it was so painful, and some were deep.Despite that I knew I had to get out of where I was, so I mustered all the courage in me to crawl out of the damn dark room and started shouting for help. My voice wasn't as loud as usual but I did my best to sound loud."Hahaha, oh my! See who's on the floor behaving like a snail. Who's in charge now? You disgusting asshole" I heard a voice say but couldn't clearly identify it."Does your head still hurt? I mean, does your body hurt? I remember throwing you in here, and it made a very loud thud," the man said again, and I realized it was none other than Cain. He had come back to take revenge on me. It became clear to me that all my crawling and shouting was useless and trying to run away from him was hardly going to be im

    Cage's POV If someone had helped William escape from the hidden dungeon and find a way out of here, it either meant that he had brought someone with him who we didn't capture and was sneaking around then saw the perfect opportunity to let him go or we had a spy among us.The thought of having a spy in our midst left me dumbfounded. The spy must have known our pack so we'll that the hidden dungeon wasn't only unhidden but could be operated by whoever the spy was.Was I this careless to have never figured it out? When the spies were killed all of a sudden, I should have known there was still more to it, but I blamed Berrilyl since she always had more than one way of communicating with her brother, and I was caught up in so many problems that I forgot to investigate such a dangerous attempt further.Even if he had a someone with him who we didn't capture, there was no way the person would have got through the guards, the security system was tight which meant the only way he could escape

    Cage's POVI wasn't that intoxicated. I was just tipsy. I knew where I was and what I was doing, still. But even with the alcohol in my system, I could feel my mind slipping, becoming less clear, less sharp. The edges of my world blurred, and everything felt a little lighter and easier to deal with.With that said, I didn't attack Berrilyl. She had already left, and something made me know it was not yet time to follow her. She was angry and scared. I could see that from her eyes as she turned her back on me. But she needed space, and I knew that if I followed her, things would just get worse. It was not the first time Berrilyl had left me, and I knew it would not be the last. So I simply released her.I did what I always did whenever I had to focus on other things instead. I took a hold of the mask again. It was more about obscuring my mind, and my emotions rather than hiding my face. My feelings. My thoughts. The mask gave me a feeling of control and detachment. Wearing it, I felt so

    Berrilyl's POVIt was a day to my engagement already, and I had decided to carry out my plan. I had prepared for days now on how to escape, but the only way out that I could think of was to get rid of Cage. It was the last thing I could think of to save myself from getting married to him, and tonight I was going to carry out my plan.The night was calm as I walked down the halls of the mansion. There was just the soft thud of my steps against the quiet. My heart was racing, and I felt this crazy mix of fear and resolve. Was I going to do it? I stood before Cage's door.My mind was telling me that this was what I needed to do, but my body was tense and unsure. I'd never been more nervous in my life. I'd practiced this moment so many times in my mind, but now that it was here, it wasn't quite the same. Still, I could not go back. I had to move forward.I pushed the door inward slowly, as quietly as possible. The room was black except for the feeble flickering of candle flames at the ed
