Rayell POVI spent the rest of the evening getting acquainted with Elara the new server girl, she was a lot more fun than I expected, she’s from the house of Sargasso, an ex-noble family, According to her, her ancestors lost their nobility due to their punishment for going against the laws, but they let them keep name, She was quite chatty, another trait I liked, for she seemed to help take my mind off my sad guilted thoughts,After we chatted, I made her promise to come see me tomorrow, which she agreed, she left, and I was truly grateful for the distractions, it hadn’t lasted long, for Callox came back shortly, and I was gushed with all my sickening thoughts,I truly hated it, for I was always excited to see Callox, and I still am,Just that the guilt and pain exceeded my excitement, and when he looked at me, I felt he would find out what happened and then cast me away for it,He gave me a weak smile, proceeding to the bed,“Hey”, he said, his gaze softening, I smiled at him,“He
Rayell POVI was pacing the room to and fro, my lips were in incessant biting as a result of the turmoil in my nerves. Callox had gone downstairs to attend to some matter, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I still couldn't shake off the feeling that he suspected something. Although He hadn't pressured me about anything this morning, the silence still felt deafening.As I turned to pace again, my gaze fell on the bed where we had slept together just hours before. My mind raced with memories of our intimate moments, now tainted by my secrets. My heart felt like a stone, heavy with the gravity of my guilt, and worse I was still confused about the step to take,I wasn’t going to find the guys who molested me sooner than Callox was,Which leads to the final solution,Telling him the truth…., I however was too scared, but weighing my options, the less death-threatening option was to tell him what happened,Easier said than done, aye…The sound of footsteps outside my door drew me away f
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

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
