MANDY'S POV Last night I had fallen asleep in a relieved mood, confident that Fibi was just an accident victim. I believed that my husband would send her on her way once she got better. This morning, I got a rude awakening, literally.My eyes flew open when something hit my head suddenly. I found myself on the floor. I was still trying to regain my senses when he flung the question at me: “Who are you? What did you do? Your scent is so repelling right now, you are not my mate!”That woke me up properly. “Huh?” I muttered. I rubbed my eyes with my fingers, hoping this would just turn out to be a bad dream.“Who the fuck are you? Because you're certainly not my mate. My real mate is downstairs right now. And she's more beautiful than you are.” He bellowed at me.Bloody hell. How could I have forgotten this part of the spell? Even Father didn't remember to warn me about this. Sebastian sounded like someone whose eyes just became open. And indeed, that's what just happened. He could now
FIBI'S POV I felt totally fine when I woke up, just a little groggy. But the essence of roasted coconut and fresh orange juice, filled the air all around me. It was the only thing I was breathing in.I turned to the man beside me. Isn't this Alpha Sebastian, our alpha in Sea Stone Pack? I wondered to myself. However the aura that surrounded us would not even let me concentrate on that thought.“Mate?” I mused aloud, at the same time when he declared it. Next thing, he charged out of the room. At first, my mind was upside down, understanding nothing. What just happened? Why did he leave suddenly? What a strange way to meet one's mate. And a strange mate too.But of course, I concluded in my mind, he would run away from me. My whole life had been one misfortune after the other, why should I expect differently in this case?I got up and went to the door, but two guards were there and refused to let me leave.“What's going on here?” I asked. “Am I a prisoner?”“No, this is just for your
FIBI'S POV“He’s here … Fibi… Fibi.. he’s here … get out of there … Fibi!” My mother was frantic, her voice sounding like a scared little child who was about to be caught stealing meat from her mother's pot.I jumped down from the bed at once and rushed out with her, to greet my father who just returned from wherever he went. I mean, it isn't as if he has a job. It's not that we fear him, we only fear the beatings and molestation we get from him on a daily basis.And if we delay one minute in welcoming him back home, he would beat us mercilessly again. While running to the main entrance door to meet with him, my eyes fell on the blue bruise close to my mother's left eye, and I almost burst into tears.“Leave the sentiment and add more speed to your feet Fibi!” My mother was agitated. I grunted loudly. “I regret having a father like him!” I muttered under my breath. I dared not say it out loud because we were already close to the door.“Welcome back… welcome …” My mother greeted him f
FIBI'S POV All through the journey with my father, I was scared and I kept wondering where we were going. His words cut through my musings. “You know you are not my child, right?” I froze in my seat. I was finally hearing the truth I suspected but tried to evade. No father would treat his child like my father treated me.My mother's earlier warning seeped into my brain. I then realized why she was worried enough to ask me to run.He turned away from the road before us, to spare me a glance. Then he broke into a long mocking laughter. It was like a knife had been plunged deep into my heart.“Your mother didn’t tell you? That bitch ... prostitute. She had you out of rape, my dear. Infact six men raped her and we don’t even know which of them is the father. When she became pregnant, I asked her to get rid of you but she refused. I ...”It was too much for me and I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I found myself shrieking like a wounded lion before bursting into pained tears.My father sto
DIEGO'S POV"She’s all yours now, my queen. The wedding process can begin. I will be here to make sure she gets married immediately.” The man's eager words drew my rage to him. He is too greedy and I felt like kicking him in the cock. What a shithole for a father! My own father would have died protecting me! “Mother, I don’t believe in all the moon goddess prophecy shit. Get these people ... these things ... out of my house.” I barked at my mother.Then she gave me that look, that one look that always melts my determination and resolution. “Mother, don’t do that please, I told you already, no woman is worth it. And she doesn’t seem to like me as well… right?” I turned to the girl kneeling before me.She nodded her head aggressively at once, agreeing with me. I didn’t know what to believe, maybe she really doesn’t want me or she’s pretending. A girl of her standard, in fact any girl at all, would jump at me.I rolled my eyes and looked back at my mother, but she still had that sweet a
FIBI'S POV“Leave her.” The voice was calm but commanding. It could only be one person: Elder Queen Diana, Alpha Diego's mother.Both my new maids and Ethan withdrew from me in immediate obedience. With a flick of her wrist, she dismissed them totally and they all dispersed as she came to sit beside me.She took my hands in hers while my tears kept flowing unchecked. She sighed.“Child, I'm sorry it had to be this way, but trust me, it's the best way.” She began.“You see, my son wasn't always this way. But there's only so much tragedy, betrayal and bitterness that a soul can take before it turns dark. Deep inside, the sweet soul I birthed is still there, but only a special she-wolf can get him out again.”I bawled harder at her words. I couldn't understand my place in all of this and why I had to be sold into a union I never asked for. She patted my back as tenderly as one would do to an infant. “Cry out all the tears you need to shed, my darling. Because after this, you're going to
DIEGO'S POV I pulled myself up from my custom-made bathtub and unto my wheelchair which I had left right beside the bathtub. Three years ago, I'd had my bathroom remodeled to better suit my needs. The bathtub was high enough that I could lower myself into it and also raise myself out of it, with the support of my arms.I flexed those arms now as I reached for the towel. I trained hard to keep fit and also strengthen all my other muscles. If my legs were going to be useless to me, at least my arms can become strong enough to support my weight whenever I need that.Simply tossing the towel over my lower body, I wheeled myself out the door. Then I stopped in my tracks.Who the hell is that on my bed? I wondered. My eyes were already seeing red before I got close enough to see her clearly.I swallowed. Hard. I fought it with my mind but my manhood had a mind of its own. It stood at attention under the towel, as if it was saluting the mouth-watering sight in front of me, throbbing almost
FIBI'S POV A knock on the door woke me up. I stretched contentedly. That must be the soundest sleep I'd ever had in my adult life. Due to the awkwardness of last night, I had tossed around at first, but this mattress was definitely not made for tossing around. It was so inviting and soothing that I lost all consciousness until this morning.Suddenly my brain came awake and I bolted upright, remembering what woke me up. Was he back? How would I face him this time? Surely he would still be in a sour mood because of yesterday.I gave a big sigh of relief when I opened the door and saw the elder queen.“Good morning, Mother.” I beamed.“Well well well, someone is radiant this morning. Did he finally come around and show you what the Leo Santos wolves are made of?” Diana grinned.A burst of red stained my cheeks. I was more mortified that I even understood that she was talking about sex.I replied shyly, “Mother, he didn't even sleep here. He gave me a death glare and stormed out immedia
