Cage's POV

I stood at the window as the breeze blew, touching my skin. It was supposed to make me feel cool, but for some obvious reason, I was angry, staying by the window side watching as the young mistress, her figure poised and full of arrogance, did her new routine, which was to taunt Berrilyl every single chance she got.

She had been staying here for some days now, but she behaved like she was a goddess that had superiority over every single thing on earth, whereas she was nothing as far as I was concerned.

Owning a little bit of power and money doesn't make one goddess and never will, so everything she was doing was just to satisfy herself and make herself look invisible, and she looked the opposite in my eyes.

I knew her motives; they were as clear as crystal to me. All she was doing was to get my attention. It was a game she played, a dance of manipulation and calculated charm, but I was no fool.

The last time I saw her, I had made sure not to talk long with her noticing th

    Cage's POVI fisted my hands as I watched Grace leave the study, her feet echoing down the hall. The door clicked shut behind her, but the tension in my chest refused to dissipate. My words hung in the air, weighted and cutting."You'll be working in the kitchen for a few days. I don't need you here."Her face had crumpled, shock and disbelief warring on it as though I'd just struck her. Still, the cadence of her voice rang out in my head."Why do you treat me this way? Is it because of Berrilyl?"I hadn't answered. Not because I didn't have an answer, but because to voice it aloud would confirm a truth she already suspected. A truth I wasn't ready to face. So instead, I'd held my silence, letting her walk away with her questions unanswered.The broad windows of the study felt stifling now, and the light from noon was spilling across the floor. I paced to the window, pressing my palm flat against the cool glass. The ache behind my ribs tightened.Am I being too harsh?I should have be

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 98

    Author's POV The silence of the kitchen was cut only by the soft crackling of dying embers in the hearth. The shadows on the stone walls wavered and fluttered lightly, dancing to the flickers of the dying flames, a little more minute with every second.Talia crept across the cool tile floor, her bare feet silent as she moved toward the pantry shelves. Her pulse hammered in her ears, while the silence somehow made every creak of wood and rustle of fabric louder. The weight of her guilt sat heavy upon her chest, pressing down like an invisible hand.She hadn't spoken to Berrilyl since, since that day. Since the words, she wished she could take back, cruel and thoughtless, had left her lips.It had been easier, then, to let the others believe what they wanted. To act like Berrilyl deserved the cold stares and whispers behind her back. But now, in the quiet solitude of the kitchen, all Talia could think about was how hollow it felt.And how wrong that was.Berrilyl didn't deserve this. S

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 99

    Berrilyl's POV The next day, I was falling apart. It wasn't just the exhaustion anymore. My whole body ached, but it was more than that. I felt defeated like some unbearable weight rested on me. The stares of the people around me constantly made me so uncomfortable. I hated it, every single look was a judgment to which I could not turn my back. It seemed like everyone was watching me, and I lacked the strength to prevent them from making me feel insignificant.It wasn't just the physical strain; it was the mental and emotional impact that truly wore me out. I felt drained, and it seemed like the world was enclosing around me. I attempted to overlook it, attempted to move past it, but it was difficult. There were days when I felt like shouting and asking everyone to just let me be. But I couldn't. I was too weak for that.It was the buns Talia would slip me from time to time that kept me going, however small. Small mercies that kept on coming so I would not lose myself in those moment

  • FATED TO UNWANTED MATE    Chapter 100

    Author's POV The day had already been frustrating for Grace. She'd been in the kitchen all morning, working hard, but her mood had only worsened. Her thoughts were a mess, tangled in confusion and anger. She had hoped that her efforts would be noticed, but instead, she was punished and sent to work in the kitchen like a common servant. And now, to make matters worse, something as small as a plate breaking made her snap.The maid, who had let the plate fall to the ground, stood dumb, while her mistress was already in a flare-up. Instinctively, Grace raised her hand and gave the girl a resounding slap across her face. The slapping sound went through the kitchen, and the girl instantly hung her head, too scared even to utter a word."Get out!" Grace hissed, heedless of the consequences. The maid quickly gathered the pieces of the broken plate and scurried away, leaving Grace standing in the middle of the kitchen, her anger still simmering.The other maids in the kitchen did not even dar

    Cage's POVI was in my study room thinking about Grace. We had somehow made this place better together. She and her mother helped me when I needed it. She had always been good, loved and very nice to everyone around me but it was as if she was turning into the opposite."Sir", Jake said, bringing me out of my thoughts as he came in with his face looking quite serious. I just wished that what he wanted to tell me was useful and not some useless news. The Young mistress had been treating Berrilyl badly and decided to stay in the palace when she must surely have better things to do. Even though she seemed interested in me. It was still strange because most people wouldn't even want to meet me. After all, I seemed too intimidating or too ruthless for them, so because of that, the way that Alpha's sister was behaving was unusual, I needed great information about them.It was the last thing I thought I would be doing but I needed to get things done. She and her brother seemed very suspic

    Cage's POV"I should capture them?" He asked again to be sure."Yes. Please do" I replied.I knew he was so surprised but it didn't matter. It was just perfect. I couldn't wait to see her face when she saw my engagement present for her. It would be nice to see her reaction after finding out that her darling Owens was nothing but a cheater. The man whom she thought was madly in love with her was just using her, and the lovely fact about it was that I would not only be saying facts but providing her with proof.Jake saw the deadly smirk on my face and quickly went away. When he left I couldn't help but smile at the way he was walking.While I was busy imagining how Berrilyl's face would look when the truth is brought to her eyes and how she'd know that the loser whom she said I was was far better than her husband who was nothing but whom she thought was the greatest of all men, someone came in and diverted me from my thoughts. At first, I wanted to get annoyed with the person who cam

    Cage's POV The sun had not even begun to set, yet I called Miliano into the room. The air was thick with anticipation, and I could feel the weight of my decision weighing strongly on me. It was long overdue, yet as much as I wasn't sure where this would lead, I couldn't help but feel this was an appropriate move.Miliano," I began, my voice firm, yet urgent. He could tell already that something serious was coming. "I need you to do something important for me. I want you to select a few of the warriors of the Pack and train them in secret. Prepare them for emergencies.He listened intently without interrupting, but his sharp gaze showed that he was already working on it in his head. “It’s a good idea,” he replied thoughtfully. “Your trump cards are few. The Pack is strong, yes, but there’s always room for improvement. If something unexpected happens, we’ll need more options. I’ll begin immediately.”I could see the resolution in his eyes: he never wavered when strategy and loyalty we

    Cage's POVThat night, Grace came to serve me dinner. For the past few days, I have been avoiding her, keeping a distance from her, but here she was standing in front of me with a tray of food. Her eyes were begging, and her hands were slightly trembling as she set the dishes down on the table."I know I made a mistake," she said, soft, almost in quivering voice tones. "Please, I am sorry. Please take me back. I am not bearing it. I will not let that happen between us."The stare just took the moment at Grace mixed with frustration and a tinge of pity. She had always been like my sister, and now she made things so different in that respect. She had hurt me, but again I couldn't go on being hard on her for all eternity. I tried to keep myself aloof, tried shutting my eyes to the pain of my heart at her vision, but finding her in this helpless state, I just couldn't be cold anymore.But this was different; the way she had acted and treated him in recent times was a bit hard to ignore.

    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

    Berrilyl's POVI wasn't Cage's pack.Five years ago, I had arrived as a lost, wounded wolf with no memory, a stranger to the life they provided. I had woken up in an unfamiliar bed, the scent of herbs thick in the air, my body rattled and shuddering with my injuries.The first thing I remembered seeing was him.Cage.Even then, he had been powerful, his presence overpowering. His golden eyes had looked at me with curiosity, but there had been something more. concern, maybe, or wariness. He had saved me, but he had been wary, as if he knew that my arrival wasn't as innocent as it seemed.I had clung to the emptiness in my mind, pretending that I didn't know myself. That I wasn't the daughter of the Pierce blood. That I wasn't the princess of an unfriendly pack.That I wasn't a spy.But I had been.And Cage had been the target.I had been sent in to get inside his pack, to gain his trust, and to report back to my brother, William. It had been a simple mission. One that I had carried out

    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
