I wouldn't expect that after a year, the pain was still there in my heart. The thought about Jace and I as siblings is not still clear to me.“I couldn't believe it too, Emerald. Jace believed Damon's words.” I uttered.Emerald went in front of me after she heard my statements.“You mean, you didn't believe it?”I walked near the window and looked outside of the Kingdom. It was dark outside and I am sure that at any moment the ball will start. Luxurious cars kept on coming into our place. I know that many visitors are there to attend this annual celebration of the Southeast Kingdom.And I was wondering if Jace was here. It's been a year since I last saw him.“Does he look the same, Emerald?”I asked her and that made her chuckle.“You mean, Alpha Jace? Well, he looks more attractive now. He used to spend time exercising and training.”A smile formed on my lips. I could already visualize Jace in my mind. Even if I didn't see him, I could still visualize his face in my mind.“What about
Time had stopped for a moment. My mind hangs into the air while staring at Joshua. All the words that escape from him don't seem to appear in my head. I couldn't believe I would hear that.“We… We are not related? You mean, Jace and I were not siblings? The three of us are not related to each other?” I asked and Joshua nodded his head.“Yes we are not, Margaux, and thanks for this result. I found out that we are not really related to each other.”Tears started falling from my eyes when I just realized what Joshua told me. My legs trembled and without Joshua's help, I knew I already collapsed to the ground. I am happy and emotional at the same time because after a year, I just found out that Jace and I were not siblings.“This news made my day, Joshua. I never stop praying each day that I could get any evidence to prove that me and my mate were not really siblings. It seems like the moon goddess already heard me.”I was getting emotional for this wonderful news that I have learned from
The priceless reaction from Luke made me chuckle. He can't believe what he hears from me. I know this is unexpected to hear. “I don't understand." Luke said. I let out a deep breath before I responded to him. I'd love to explain everything that I know to my brother but I am really out of time. “Luke, I have to go. I needed to see Jace as soon as possible.” Luke didn't stop me when I ran away from him. He has not recovered yet from what I said, so I think that's the reason he hasn't been able to stop me. Meanwhile, I just continued running through where the ball was being done. As I was getting near the place, my heart's beats were starting to be quick. I just can't wait to find my mate and tell him everything that I found out. “How would you tell him about it, Margaux?” My wolf started to communicate with me but I just disregarded her. I don't want to distract myself from finding my mate. As I entered the palace's hall, the dazzling lights met my eyes. The joyous faces of the
It's too painful to think that the one I loved had found another woman for him to love. The man who once owned me and the man who once loved me would never be mine. He's already taken with another man and it hurts so bad. I don't know how I would move on from this.I don't know what to feel and don't know what to do. Jace was mine. We are destined mates but seeing how happy he was earlier made me think of something. Something that I realized to give him. His happiness.Even if it hurts, I will let him go. I won't tell him that we are not related to each other. I would make him believe that we are really siblings. Jace deserves to be happy and I deserve to suffer.“I love him that much and I will do everything for him to be happy. Even if it hurts, I will accept the truth that he's already been taken to someone else and that I don't own him anymore.”Luke and Emerald were worried about me as they looked at me. I know what they are thinking and before they could react, I already spoke.
Jace's POVAfter the ball in the southeast kingdom, we go home tiredly. I sat on the couch and removed my tie so I could breathe. The events earlier made me so tired. I didn't expect that I would see Margaux after a year. I thought our paths wouldn't cross because someone told me that she's not attending the annual celebration even though she's a queen. But I was wrong. Something happened earlier, which made her come.I thought after a year of not seeing her, my feelings would be gone. And for that year, I kept reminding myself that Margaux was my sister. We are not for each other and whatever happened before should be forgotten.I thought the feelings had gone away when I met Criselda but I was definitely wrong. The moment I saw her face earlier, the spark was there. I wanted to hug her but I controlled myself.But what really bothers me now was about what Margaux had said. She mentioned earlier that she has proof that we are not siblings.What if it's true? What if, Damon just lied
Today is not a usual day here in the southeast kingdom. Everyone was preparing for the surprise visit that Damon would be about to do here in the pack. All the werewolves living here, men and women were trained how to fight. This is a preparation in case Damon would dare to attack us. I want everyone to be prepared so they can protect themselves.I was in my room, watching everyone from above. It's been a day since Jace and I last saw each other. The events from last time were still fresh in my mind. I can't forget it, especially when Jace proposed to her new girl.While I was thinking about that, I let out a deep breath to remove him from my mind. I don't want to think of him. This is now the time for me to forget about Jace as well as forgetting the love I felt for him. He was engaged with somebody else. Someone that I know would definitely love him.And it's not me.My head turned at the door of my room when I suddenly heard three knocks from it. I furrowed my brows and walked thro
The image of Jace wouldn't leave my head as we walked through the forest. I have no idea why he still stayed even after Justin and the other guards pushed him away. He even brought my brother and I can't believe that Luke would be there with him.“Why is it that Jace was still there, Justin? I guess you already shoved him away.” I uttered, which made him sigh.“Yes, I did, and I really thought that he left. But it seems like Jace doesn't want to give up.”His words made me confused, therefore, I stopped from walking. I face him to ask something.“And what made him think of not giving up, Justin? What does it mean?” I asked, so he sighed.“He wanted to talk to you, Margaux. Alpha Jace told me that there's something the two of you must talk about.”I just shook my head from what he told me.“I am not interested in what he wanted to tell me. And I don't even care if he already found out the truth that we are not really related to each other.” I said and Justin didn't speak. He just liste
Walking out was the least thing that I could do to be away from Jace. Staying beside him would worsen the situation, so I have decided to leave. I know that Jace won't get rid of me. But whatever he says, I wouldn't listen to it anymore.“Margaux, please.”Jace followed me. This Alpha has no plan of getting rid of me. He really wanted to disturb my mission.“I am on my mission, Jace. My people are dependent on me, so I have no time talking shit with you. Do you understand?”Jace just looked at me while his eyes were pleading me. But I never allow him to convince me. I didn't mind his begs because I had no time to talk to him and knowing that some of the werewolves were in danger.“I am willing to wait until you want to talk to me, Margaux. But please let me help you. Don't push me away because I am a great help to you and with your mission.”I looked at him as he mentioned those words. The way he looked at me now, I could feel the sincerity in his eyes. Jace was serious about helping
