“As you can see, I have enough company. But since you’re already here, answer me this. How long are you people planning to keep us here?” She settled the brush on the bed beside her and patted Trey’s head softly. He got up from the chair and quickly clutched the bedsheets, pulling himself up onto the bed. He then crawled into his mother’s lap and stuffed his face in her clothes. “Do you really think after imprisoning us like this, I’ll even consider staying in this stupid place? I want to speak to the Queen. I refuse to be treated this way!”“Oh, your mother?”“The Queen.”“Why are you even fretting?” He eased off the wall and stepped closer so he could clutch the bars. The sleeves of his oversized shirt rolled up his arms. “The results from the test has already been announced, so rest assured that you’re safe.”“That is not the point!” Her lips pressed into a thin line as she swallowed, “I said I want to leave! I swear to God if you people keep me here like this---"He cut her off wi
At the back of the palace and in the midst of the dark forest, four necks were trapped on something similar to a guillotine. Their hands were tied behind their backs and their mouths were stuffed with cloths thanks to the two women of the four who had been screaming at the top of their lungs. A large sharp blade hung over their heads and all that was left…was for Prince Damian to trigger it.It was not even a day after the test results came in, when the Queen had them brought in as prisoners. At first, they were kept in the far part of the dungeon where they were given no food nor water. No excuses were taken and no questions were asked, but a decree was made: Justin, Patrice, Kira and Wyatt were to be set to die and their pack imprisoned.Like anyone else would, they all feared for their lives but it was already clear that they would not be given a chance.Wyatt expected this, and without the knowledge of his pack, he had planned to take his family and run. But even before he could t
“Now why the fuck would you yap about that? Shouldn’t you be keeping the informant’s identity private? You fucking mutt ruining shit.”“Ah…” Damian’s eyes glinted, “Were you supposed to be the instigator plus the knight in shining armor? Is that it?” He laughed. “You’re a funny one, brother. I’ve always admired your lunacy.”Denise sucked in a breath as her stomach twisted in disgust. Why was she even surprised? She should’ve known…after all, this was Kain. Everything must’ve been some sort of sick game for him. She remembered it clearly when he said he’d make her need him and she had made the mistake of ignoring those words…But was this really what he meant by that? Putting her in a position where she was helpless?The Queen and her sons were no different either. She must look like a fool in front of them….But that was okay, everything was okay because it all just served as fuel to her hatred. She wanted them to pay, each and every one of them…so much that it felt like it would make
Wyatt’s bleeding lips were sealed tightly together and his eyes had not lifted to meet Denise’s for even a second. With things as they were, he couldn’t help but wish…she had just let him die. “Hey.” Damian’s eyes narrowed, as his fingers pressed into Wyatt’s back, nails sinking deep enough to draw blood. “At least pretend you’re grateful.” Clenching his jaw, Wyatt reluctantly lowered his head even further and leaned over, bowing briefly. He kept his mouth shut but the intense feeling of Damian’s glare digging into his skull made his lips reluctantly slide apart, “Thank…” He swallowed his remaining pride, “Thank you…” “Good!” Damian grinned, pleased. “Now then, I’ll escort you four back to---” “No.” Denise glared at him from over the Queen’s shoulder, a clear sign of deep opposition to his words. “Ah… Though I understand your worries, I’m a bit offended. I would let my brother do the honors instead since he has a much better reputation, but he has a special case as you can s
It had been days after Denise accepted her place as one of the royals. Her house arrest was lifted, and Jaxson was appointed officially as her main guard. She made sure the Queen discarded any possibility of him being punished for deserting the palace, and she had also gotten her word that Wyatt's pack would not be harmed henceforth. And so her worries of them being in danger dissipated, but at the same time, she knew she had only created leverage for them to use against her if she ever tried to leave. Now that she was complying, she had been moved to a room on a higher floor, with Jaxson’s directly beside hers. Upon her request, no one approached her, not even maids and certainly not Kain. Food, clothes and every other necessity were carried in by Jaxson exclusively. Throughout that time, Denise didn’t bother setting a foot outside the palace. It wasn’t that she was prohibited, but she had already been made aware that if she wanted to step out or even enter the garden at the back,
Have you ever stopped to wonder...how easily one's life could fall apart? Well, in Denise Vera's case...a single night was all it took for everything she had ever known to crumble to pieces...The breeze was cold when Denise sat just outside a small cabin, rocking her chair back and forth while slowly sewing her fiancé’s dress shirt. Her black hair was in a messy bundle cascading down her back and her pink lips parted slightly to let out a breath as soft moans from inside scratched against her eardrums. "Ahhh, Aiden!!~" "Ohhh~" “Harder~”Aiden......was her fiancé... A month ago, she was sold off to him. Before then, she lived with her family, but could she really call it a family? Her father; the Alpha did not want her. No, none of them wanted her. In a pack where shifting on a fullmoon was sacred, a she-wolf who could not control her wolf was an abomination...and Denise was just that, the abomination. The first time she shifted was the full moon of her ninth birthday...that day
Denise leaned against a tree near the cabin, watching Marcy and Aiden who were exchanging their goodbyes in front of the door. The place was deep in the pack's woods, somewhere Aiden seemed to own. Every time he met with Marcy or any other girl, he would always bring them there...and unfortunately, he'd also have Denise tag along. Rather than her who he was to marry, he found pleasure in other women. He had never been interested in her as a woman, instead Aiden only cared about her appearance. For that, she was a bit relieved. "So, in two days...this place? I'll call you if anything changes, yeah?" Marcy gave him a shrug, noisily smacking her lips together as she chewed on a gum she dug up from somewhere inside. "Whatever.""Are you upset?" Aiden frowned, hands drifting up under the dress shirt she had just slipped on and riding straight up to her breasts, cupping them. He leaned his head against her shoulder, a sly grin on his lips as his tongue travelled across her neck, "How sh
Raina; her wolf, had never spoken in years. And now, when she finally decided to speak, her first words were ‘MATE’. It was safe to say, Denise was astounded. If anyone were to really listen, they’d definitely hear her heartbeat loud and clear! The handsome man standing before her had his rock-hard stare pinned to her form and his bulked muscles coupled with his towering height made him as intimidating as anyone could get. Raina was saying HE was her mate? When was the last time she’d even heard of fated mates? Werewolves had long disregarded the wishes of their goddess and took fate into their own hands. No waiting. No hoping. None of that. Their mates were whomever they chose. There were only a few who actually managed to meet and mark their fated partners…very few.That was why Denise couldn’t believe it. Her fated mate? Why would the moon goddess bless her with a mate? Was this her way of saying that she could finally find happiness? Was this truly a sign that her suffering was
