Rayell POVI have been trapped in this dark, endless void for what feels like an eternity.Kai had trapped me in a cage. And when he did come back to remove me from the cage. I did not have the strength to even get out of it.My body was all covered with goo and slimes. And my breath was short.I knew I had only a short time to live. And all I could do is think of was callox.Thoughts of him were what made the whole torture bearable.It was the faint glow that made my spark not to die.Suddenly, a gentle voice whispers in my mind. “Lady Rayell.”I turned around. But nobody was there.The voice was a soft, melodious voice, unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.“Who is it?”“I’m Princess Diane from the Bluebird Village, and I have come to help you connect back to your lover.”Confusion filled me.“To callox?”“Yes.”“Why can’t I see you?”“That isn’t important. What is that I can get you to see your lover?”“Can you at free me from this torment instead?”“I’m afraid I can’t. The dama
RAYYEL’S POV"Dad, I am begging you, can you please don't go? I promise to be good and not disturb you, but please stay?" Tears fell in drops from my eyes as I pleaded in despair.My hands clenched on to his sleeves and I refused to let go.No.He can't leave me at the hands of that woman again.Not today.I really can't take it anymore."I have something important to do." He yanked his sleeves away from my hold and said to me in his usual calm tone while adjusting his tie without turning to look at me.it was so difficult to get this chance to be alone with him, but it seems it won't be of any use now.No way.I can't continue like this."Dad, please, You can't leave me at the hands of that woman, I beg of you." Distressed, I voiced out my inner thoughts and he gave me a sidelong glance with furrowed brows. "She is your Mother." He declared coldly and I shuddered at the ferocity of his voice.She was not my Mother.And she would never be my Mother."No....my Mother... died.
RAYELL’S POVThe sky was aglow with a radiant sunrise, like a warm golden blanket draping over the earth.The morning ray shone upon my face through my slightly opened window and I skellied my eyes open with difficulty.My head was banging and buzzing at the same time and I was pretty sure that my cheek would have swollen by now.If it was a normal she-wolf, she would have healed by now but my case was different.My physique was very frail and weak and whenever I get a wound, it would not heal on time like other wolves. So they find it interesting to inflict pain on me.It must also be the reason why I was looked down upon by the other she-wolves since I was young.Others, like Linda and the maids.They felt that I was inferior and there was nothing that I could do to change that fact, because I knew that they were right.My parents had tried to limit the ridicules and jests but when my Mom died, Dad stopped bothering about it and the ridicules increased and it became worse.I sta
RAYELL’S POVThe Alpha hummed at my Dad's statements and it confused me."Which day do you think is appropriate for the wedding?"Wedding?I looked at my Dad as he asked and my face changed drastically when it occurred to me.So, he asked me to accompany him so that he could match-make me and introduce me to the Alpha?My heart trembled at the realisation and I ran away from their presence. Dad's loud holler sounded behind me but I refused to turn back.How could he be this wicked?He was literally selling his only daughter away without battling an eyelid.Tears of disappointment rolled down my cheek as I ran, I could feel different gazes on my body but I do not care.And when I got to where Dad packed his car, I stopped.I had no choice but to wait for him, I do not know the way back home and our apartment was far to this place.Soon, Dad came out.He stared at me in rage and suddenly said, "You do not have a say in this matter, you will have to get married to the Alpha, whether
RAYELL.The Alpha smiled at my response and it helped me to relax my stiff shoulders. I had not even thought that this would be my decision at the end of the day.Agreeing to an arranged marriage. "You won't regret your decision, Rayyel." The Alpha said and I nodded at him, hoping it would be as he had said. But at the back of my mind, I already knew that it would not be so easy. It was the Alpha we were talkinv about, not some unknown commoner. The next minute, he called my Dad to come over, so that they could discuss about the mating date and the arrangements needed.I was caught off guard about the rapid procession of things, I had thought that the mating would only be in the next two months but I was wrong once again.My Dad came in not much longer and they started discussing, leaving me out of it and ignoring my presence.The Alpha would ask for my opinion once in a while but my Dad would protest with a strict voice."She would soon be your wife so she had to go with whateve
HENRY.Living with same girl under same roof for more than eight years is getting me choked, and i knew i had to get rid of her very soonHer mother was a very powerful omega and she was from a good family, her family was reputable in the pack but she fell in love with me first.I had never liked her because I knew that I could only become more powerful after marrying her, I had no choice but to accept.Then, I had to pretend to love her so that she would not leave me or complain to her family because it was only because of her that the Alpha acknowledged me.The power that came with being her husband was very addicting and I had to continue until she gave birth. Unfortunately, the child was not as powerful as her mother, Charlotte. Because of this reason, no one accepted her, even Charlotte's family looked down on her.The problem was that Charlotte cared for the girl a lot, I could only pretend support her and scold anybody that tried to bully her even though I was unwilling.Charlo
RAYELL.The mating was fixed and I needed to go by it regardless of whether It was advantageous for me or not. Every one of the arrangements was made by the Alpha and my Father, they didn't let me know some other thing other than the date of the marriage and mating custom.My crowning ceremony as the Luna of the pack was additionally around the same time.That was when I would be announced as the Luna of this pack, it felt unreal but I had no choice. I don't even know why Alpha Phoenix wanted me to be his mate, could he have an ulterior motive?Even if he does, there was nothing I could do, I needed the position of the Luna desperately. Although I do not know anything about the Alpha or the pack, I still had to get mated to him.Then, a knock sounded at my door and I quickly went to open it to see Linda and a middle-aged woman."Take her measurements." Linda told the woman calmly without sparing me a glance."Yes ma'am.""I would not want you to taint my image in the ceremony, so she
RAYELL’S POVThe morning sun rose skywards, shining upon the vast piece of land, it was the start of a new day.The day had finally came, I would be mated to the Alpha today and I would also have my coronation as the Luna, everything was on the same day.I stood still in front of the mirror and allowed the make-up artist and her subordinates to change my outlook. My eyes were droopy and sunken, due to lack of sleep.I was anxious and could not sleep well because of the events that would be hapoening today.Today would mark the begining and end of some things in my life and I could not help but be nervous.It was rare for Linda to allow me to use her room as I prepared, but I knew she was doing it so that people would not get the impression that she was a bad stepmother and was maltreating me.She would talk to the make-up artist about some trivial things and would compliment on my look once in while, portraying a perfect and nice step-mother. I was the only one that knew what I had go

Allen POVI had left the palace feeling very angry. I couldn’t believe just how selfish the king was.He had another chance to make everything right. And he was still just concerned about his lady!I should have advocated for him to be removed. We needed a Lycan king who would protect his pack. His kingdom.Not a weakling.Well, it seemed I would have to handle things on my own.The moon goddess had been furious at me, and that was cause she had to face queries with the higher-ups in the heavens.The weapon I had been working on to use against Kai had been a total failure.The number of wolves dying was increasing massively. I felt really stuck. I was going through some books to see if I could find anything that would help.But so far, it had just been useless.I was still scaling through the books when one of my servant boys came barging into my chambers.“My lord.” He greeted.“What is it? I told you I didn’t wish to be disturbed.”“I apologize. But there is a woman at the gate. S
Callox POVI waited for Allen in the royal halls. While the guards packed up the dead bodies on the floor.When Allen came in. He had a very very grim expression.“Good day. Sire.” He bowed.“How bad is it?”He sighed. “The moon goddess and the entire heaven are angry with us. At our way of defeating Kai. They wanted to wipe out the whole of the Lycan kingdom. But I had to plead that we are given some time before they do so.”“And did they answer?”“Yes. However it is a very short limited time of two weeks.”I sighed. As if life couldn’t get any more harder.“Rayell went crazed. I believe it's cause of Kai.”“You are right. She did go crazed cause of Kai. He has been triggered.”“How is this impossible? I thought you got rid of him?”“I subdued him. I was trying to form a sword that would finally exterminate him from her. However, I do not think it’s possible anymore.”“What do you mean?”“For Kai to be killed. Rayell is going to have to die.”That statement sounded like a death sente
Callox POVI have been searching for rayell for days now. And yet every one of my searches had proved abortive.And the more I couldn’t find her. The more I went crazier. I wondered what on earth I was to do with this information.I had started shouting and sleepless nights. My mind felt like it was in a jumbled state. Sometimes I end up wallowing in bed. And Crying about everything.In the meantime. I noticed my legs had gotten more responsive. And I was even able to stand.Which was quite a lot. The cure was indeed working.However, I didn’t feel happy about it, cause she wasn’t here to share in the joy with meLiam helped with my leg routine every morning. Teaching me how to get used to my legs and all.However, I didn’t care much about it. Cause It felt like life had suddenly become to difficult to live in. In her absence.I was dying of fear and worry as to whether she was fine or not.Or if she needed me! I also felt immense guilt for not being able to stand up and defend her l
Rayell POVI had been staying at the cottage house for three days now. And I was already tired of the routine living style.Wake up, shower, eat, read some books, take a nap. A stroll. Read. Nap. Dinner. Then it goes on to repeat the whole actions over an over again.It was truly exhausting. I spent most of the time thinking of callox. To the extent that I started seeing him everywhere in the house.I felt I was going crazy at some point.I sat in the balcony of the cottage home. Taking in the fresh breeze and keeping time with reading.I was lost in it till elara came with a tray of snacks.She dropped it, did her courtesy greeting, and left. It’s how our lives have been. No talking or relations beyond that of a maid and her Lady.It was exactly like I had asked her to do. I felt bad about it. But it was for the best.After the snacks. I went back into my room and took an eventful nap.When I opened my eyes I noticed how clouded the place was.And how the wind was howling in the di
Callox POVI was pacing in the hallways. Still angry over Marcus' declaration. I couldn’t believe he had done that to his granddaughter.He had been cool with the idea of us being together. So why did he do that?After his declaration, the council, as usual, declined Rayell, who was my Luna.Though her name had been cleared, she could be in the palace. But I doubted that would feel like good news to Rayell.I wondered how she would feel about this. It sure would hurt her that her only family had been against the idea of her being happy.I fisted my hands, awaiting him. The council members came out of the meeting room. When Marcus saw me, he swallowed hard. It took everything in me not to snap the life out of his neck.Years of respect and the sacrifices he made to the royal family. Was what Kept me from doing so.“What was that for?”He ignored me and kept walking away.“I am talking to you!” I retorted in an authoritative tone.Which had him stopping.“It was needed.”“You destroyed
Rayell POVAfter Callox left and I cried my eyes out, Marcus came knocking on the door,And I told him how desperate I was to leave, and he told me he understood. He brought Elara, my handmaiden, with who I had gotten close over the past few months.We had to change into maid's clothing so I could easily escape the palace floors, and then we entered through a tunnel.When we got outside, we noticed that Marcus arranged for the carriage and horses to take us to the supposed destination.I wondered if Callox would realize that I was gone early,I doubted it cause he probably would be too busy preparing to get married. Anger seeped through me.What happened to fighting for my cause? What happened to not getting married to anyone but me? Was he lying?I wondered who it was that he was getting married to, and somehow, I felt jealous that I wasn’t in her position, I didn’t have enough political gains to be worth being his wife.We arrived at the supposed destination, which was a little cot
Rayell POVImmediately after Lady Aria attacked me, I lost consciousness of myself for a while.However, when I finally regained it. It was for a short period. And that was to see my body fall to the floor.It grew eminently dark again when I finally opened my eyes.I noticed I was back in that desolate dream world. And this time, I was in a cage. My hands and legs were high-tied to a cage.I rattle against the cage. Trying to get out of the cage.But it was just too tight. “You are not getting released out of that.” Kai's voice echoed.“What have you done to me?”“You’ve been subdued. I told you it was going to happen sooner.”“Subdued? As in, you took over my consciousness?”“Yes, darling. Now, sleep tight. I have got some unfinished business. And when I do achieve it. I will do you a favour of killing you.” He said.“No! No! No!” I screamed. But it was too late. A mist came up. And soon, my eyes went blank.Kai POVWhen I finally woke up, I realised that I was in an infirmary.I co
Rayell POVI sat in the royal garden, enjoying the cool breeze that tainted my skin,A harsh reality to the turmoil I was facing deep inside. My mind was still reeling from the conversations I had with Callox just when I thought things were going fine for us.I had been painfully knocked out of my sweet life and reminded of the harsh reality of life. Callox said he was going to do his best not to get married to someone who wasn’t me, except I didn’t know how to feel about that cause there was a high chance that he was going to go against his wordsAnd I have no idea if I would be able to handle such a thing when it happens. Seeing him with another woman would surely break me.If only I hadn’t gotten myself involved with Dustin's games, then maybe I would be here planning my wedding and not here confused about the next step to take,I was still lost in my thoughts when I sighted lord Marcus at the far end of the garden. He was having some discussions with the lords,When he saw me, h
