Avery’s pov;Today was the day. My wedding day. Or rather, Noreen’s wedding day. But who could tell the difference anymore? The woman they all believed to be Noreen was me, and I was the one slipping into the elegant lace dress, the one donning the elaborate headdress that symbolized union with an A
I noticed as the guards that stepped aside for her to meet us. “she — she’s an imposter!” She cried and I stepped back as if i was scared. I allowed my gaze to dart between Noreen and Harold, trying to look as bewildered as he did.“She’s impersonating me!”“I’m Noreen, please you have to believe
Noreen’s pov;My eyelids fluttered opened and I furrowed my brows, staying still for a while as I thought about the events of the past few days.But my mind was blank and I was in pain.“My lady!” A young girl entered the room, the bowl of water she was holding, crashing to the ground upon seeing me
That means the dead person was Avery, the real Avery Crestwood, the lady of this household.“Are you okay my lady? You look pale.”I forced a smile. “Of course I’m fine. I’m just surprised is all.”She nodded. “We all were. Thank the goddess that it was discovered just in time…”“I need to sleep!” I
Noreen’s pov;My father…Avery’s father, rather had promised to speak to the Alpha, but I had to stay at the family’s house until the approval was given.Given everything that had happened with the Crestwoods, I didn’t think that he was going to agree quickly, but I was counting on that.About two da
“Please,” I added.She chuckled as she turned around and brought out a bottle of wine,she brought out two glasses.“Here,” she said,handing over one of the glasses to me.I hesitated and she sighed. “You’d better take it or I’ll be forced to believe that you don’t wish me well,” she said and I clenc
Noreen’s pov;I was getting used to the witch being the Luna, seeing my face on someone else every morning!I totally avoided any interaction with her and finally got the Alpha to promise to not stop looking for Kai.Apparently, I had escaped being punished because She had begged on my behalf, stati
“And she is your Luna!,you made her that!,you called her your mate!,” I exclaimed.How dare he try to keep me in this house,where that evil witch was.I chuckled. “You’re right,you can’t convince me to stay,” I bit out firmly and moved towards the door.“You do know I care about you, right?” he said
“Happy Anniversary!” Everyone in the room yelled as soon as they walked inside.“Aunt Queen!” Little Noreen ran towards Queen Noreen and She held her mid ways, hugging her. She was going to be three years in two months, but she was so smart that Noreen used to tell Candace that it was because she wa
Epilogue;Third person’s pov;Epilogue;Third person Pov;Three years laterAlpha king Harold and Queen Noreen both flung the covers over their heads and giggled as they breathed hard.“That was amazing,” She breathed out and giggled as she gazed into his eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.““Why?”“
“How touching,” I sneered, taking a slow step closer.Harold pulled her closer, away from me.“The dutiful mate protecting her cursed Alpha. Tell me, Noreen, does it feel good to play queen?”She didn’t reply. Instead, she clenched her fist tightly. “Leave now, Ian, while you still can.”I chuckled
Ian’s pov;I hadn’t heard from my mother in a long time, which was weird, considering the fact that we’ve been exchanging letters for a while now.I was glad that she understood me, glad that she had even helped me secretely.I was surprised when I heard that she was responsible for what happened t
Ian chuckled darkly as his eyes gleamed with hatred. "I’ve spent too long in your shadows, watching you take everything that should’ve been mine. The pack, the throne... even her." His gaze lingered on me and he smiled. I felt a wave of disgust. "You’ll never have any of it," Harold snapped. "Your
Noreen’s pov;The Name day and My coronation ceremony were moved to a later date and it was then that the Alpha revealed to me that he had seen a sorcerer who could break the hex, we didn’t need Ian to do that.We both agreed to have the both ceremonies after the curse had been broken, that way, it
There was also the precision with which it was executed... this wasn’t random. Someone inside the mansion had done this. Someone close to us. But who?Then my mind went back to the night I had seen someone who looked like Ian slip out of the Queen’s room.The thought that she could have been resp
Alpha Harold’s pov;I could hear the music from downstairs and could imagine the excitement on everyone’s faces. It was my son’s name day and although I couldn’t be there, I was celebrating on my own.I had promised Noreen that I was going to celebrate on my own, with a glass of wine and that was ex
Queen Margery joined us. “Do you think it’s related to the letter?” I had confided in her about the letter and she had told me to ignore it as it could be a prank.According to her, if anyone wants to take your son, they wouldn’t announce it.“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” I replied.Norman an
