Emory walked into the room as I was coming out of the bathroom where I went to clean myself up and I welcomed him with a bright smile. “Hey, you are here” I waved as I walked to my bed.

My heart beating so loud it could break out of its ribcage.

I had no choice to come over since you didn’t show up. We agreed to meet today but you didn’t come” he responded and it dawned on me that I had forgotten our meeting, thanks to the ugly situation I found myself.

I palmed my forehead as I muttered “I had forgotten totally” with my eyes closed but he told me it was okay.

What a sweet gentleman my groom was, he didn’t deserve these lies and deceit.

He only came to check up on me to see if I was fine. “Since you are fine, I will be on my way because I have to attend to something” he announced and headed for the door to take his leave.

I rushed to hold his hand making him look back in shock. My eyes were trembling with fear but I quickly sealed it off with a smile.

You love me dearly right?” I asked and he smiled back before patting my hair, “You didn’t know that all these while?” he answered and that was the reply I wanted, he did love me dearly.

Are you sure you are fine? There is nothing you want to tell me?” he asked once again and I shook my head, “There is nothing going on with me, I am only tired a little bit” I replied firmly and he took my words for it, he left.

I decided to brush it off like nothing happened.

I just need to pretend” was what I kept telling myself, the marriage is in few days so I just have to push through.

Even though I was weighed down with the guilt of what I was about to do, I kept a straight face. Everything went by as normal, I returned to my normal self and did everything to cover up the fact that I was hurting.

It will soon pass” I assured myself

I didn’t step a foot out of my house ever since that day, I lied to my mother that I didn’t want to get tanned by the sun and I was on strict skincare whenever she scolded me about going out and she had no choice but to leave me alone at some point.

My plans were becoming perfect and it seemed like nothing would disrupt it until the night prior to my wedding.

I was informed that Emory was around at the front of the house and I ran to meet him happily. “You couldn’t wait till tomorrow? Do you love me that much?” I blabbered as I rushed to meet and hug him but he drew back to avoid me, making me puzzled.

I stuttered “Did I perhaps do… do some.. something wrong? Why are you avoiding me?” and a loud scoff came from him, my heart beating furiously, did he by chance find out? I was hoping it was not so but why else would he avoid me like that.

I slowly looked into his eyes and was met with saddest and darkest look I have ever seen him wear. Something about the glare in his eyes was screaming betrayal, a disdainful look etched on his face as his forehead folded into a frown. There was no need for anyone to tell me, he found out already.

That bastard called Ansel.

He growled so loud “Where you planning to hide it from me all along? You wanted to marry me with that huge secret? Did I even mean anything to you? How dare you?” and everywhere shook.

His eyes were flashing between red and silver as he fumed.

I have never seen him that angry, he kept beating the tree beside us to unleash his anger and I covered my mouth when he delivered a huge blow on one of the branches making it shatter into pieces.

He was mad beyond what I could imagine.

My eyes quivered as I trembled in fear, my feet felt weak but I managed to drag it and ran to his side to hold him by the waist.

The sudden jab on my hand sent me flying backwards, I landed hard on my behind and groaned in pain but he wasn’t even concerned about my wellbeing.

He turned to me with watery eyes and clutched his hand at chest, “Freya, it shouldn’t have been you, you shouldn’t have done this to me. I really loved and cared for you, I don’t deserve this kind of treatment from you” he cried and my heart wrinkled.

I made the man I love cry!

I pleaded with water falling from my eyes “Emory.. Please let me explain but he kicked the air in anger, “So you can lie to me again? I can never believe anything that comes out of your mouth!” he bellowed and I went on my knees immediately, rubbing my palms together in a pleading manner.

I cried “Please you just have to listen to me. I promise to tell you nothing but the truth” but he only shook his head.

You should have told me yourself before I found out. You should have opened up to me. I didn’t have to hear it from Ansel! He told me by himself! How you have been sleeping with him but you were pretending to be what? A virgin! Spare me that trash!. You are nothing but a slut, now I see the reason why you have been trying to force yourself on me” he lashed out and my knees went weak, they buckled and couldn’t support me any longer, I fell on the ground.

He added “My coming here today is to inform you never to show up for the wedding, I will not tell anyone the reason but do not ever step your feet in the venue if you don’t want everyone to find out what you have done” and I rushed to clutch his ankle, I could not bear the news he just broke to me.

I begged desperately “Emory please don’t do this to me. I am very sorry” but he just kicked my hands off his ankle and left.

He declared for the last time “Don’t show up at the wedding, for your own good” and went out of my sight.

I wanted to run after him but I was too weak to even stand properly, everything was happening at a speed of light. My whole world that was always full of light with Emory turned dark in a split second, everything went downhill.

I locked myself in my room, crying profusely. My wolf was getting disturbed and concerned at the extent of my tears. She kept rumbling and was restless but I didn’t give her a chance to take over, that was her way of comforting me but I know she would turn things into a mess if she dare come out, she would tear Ansel apart and that would be another scenario, it would be a disgrace on my end at the end of the day.

I should just die! Why am I living? I don’t have any hope. I cannot let my family bear this shame” I cried to myself and stood up to search for any poison I might see or a knife that is sharp enough to get rid of myself within a short period of time.

I was searching through the kitchen to find anything when my wolf, Bea shouted at me. “Why will you kill yourself? Are you that crazy? Will your death make you marry him? It was never your fault” she howled at me and I argued, “I should just die for all these to end, what am I supposed to say to my parents tomorrow?”.

“What happened to running away? You should run away. We will figure out what to do when we get somewhere but for now, we have to run away” Bea suggested and my brain clicked.

I never thought of that.

I didn’t waste any time before I packed a small bag and dashed out of the house. I didn’t even wait to check on my sleeping parents, I ran endlessly till I entered the thick forest outskirt the pack.

Bea took over and raced deep into the forest for hours, I didn’t eat much that day so she eventually got tired and had to shift back to continue the journey.

I am so hungry I could die” I muttered, taking a slow breath to conserve my energy.

I looked around to see if I would find anything to eat and finally saw a pawpaw tree standing in the forest. With joy, I plucked and munch on it hungrily not even noticing anything, I was so famished.

By the time I was able to figure out what was happening in my environment, I was already surrounded by soldiers. My heart skipped a bit at their presence and was looking for means to escape when they all bowed.

My Princess” they greeted in unison and the pawpaw slid off my hand in shock and confusion.

    I cannot deny that I am not exhausted with all these new faces but I began to adapt faster than I had thought I would. The strange face that barged into my room without courtesy was apparently my elder brother. How can a brother be so full of spite? Well that’s because he’s my step-brother.With the way I and Bea scanned him, he was a bitter and wicked person to the princess so they didn’t get along. He must have been happy that she was lost but now that she came back, he failed at hiding his bitterness of her return. I could deduce immediately that he’s someone I need to beware of, with the look on his face, he’s an enemy of the lost princess.“You are really back” he blurt with a scoff that expressed bitterness.My eyes rolled unintentionally at the absurdity of his first sentence to someone who was lost and I didn’t know when “What is it? Are you not happy that your plan didn’t work?” flew out of my mouth and he raised his brows to counter my claim.Did I say something I shouldn’t

She even went to visit Aria and Anais in order to interview them if Freya had discussed anything about running away or voiced her displeasure for the wedding she was supposed to have with Emory.“She had never discussed running away with us. She was all happy and grinning about the wedding when she was telling us about it so there was no displeasure she expressed about it. Even when we told her that she was being too obvious about it, she only said that was because she was happy getting married to the one she loves and will continue to love till her last breathe” Anais explained.Aria supported the claim by narrating how she told her about the thrill of living as Emory’s wife, the respect and how she will be able to support him officially from behind since she will be his wife by then. “She had never f

    “You need to get ready for the party my princess” he announced and I scrunched my nose in disgust. So annoying! I stood up and turned to face him, I could not bear the fact that he was around me. He is just like a shadow to me and would not budge from my side no matter how harsh I was to him. I understand that he is my mate but then he should have other things he’s attending to, why is he always in my chambers every moment of the day? “And if I don’t feel like going? You cannot force me to a party that I don’t want to attend” I protested with my hands in akimbo as I rolled my eyes at the same time. He silently motioned to the maids and they rushed to my side, “We are sorry my princess but you need to get prepared” they told me and I was still about to ask if they were on my side or that of our annoying handsome man when they grabbed each hand and pulled me to the mirror where they began to attend to my hair and face. “What are you both doing? I don’t want to go anywhere so leave me

    Emory was busy sulking alone in his room after the second round of soldiers came back from the search and brought him the news of no hope. He paced up and down the room as the memories they had both shared flowed through his mind, he was weighed down with sadness and he knew that with the continuous news of no hope, he might never get to see his beloved mate anymore. Everything was tiring to him and nothing interested him anymore, he could see the last night they saw together vividly in his head. She had cried her heart out in front of him while pleading for mercy but he was too livid to hear anything from her. She did break the entire trust he had in her, he was disappointed in her secret that he had found out. He didn’t even mean all the things he had said to her but he regretted every bit of it because he couldn’t stop blaming himself about how it might have led to her disappearance. “I shouldn’t have pushed her away that night, I shouldn’t have been so harsh to her like that.

I watched every performances in happiness and I enjoyed everything was being displayed so much that I was carried away in the atmosphere, I didn’t even realize that Remy was staring at me from the side of his father. He kept staring and stealing glances at regular intervals but I didn’t notice until I turned to the side to check the people in the hall once again and our eyes met. I mouthed a “Why are you looking me?” towards him but he just bowed instead and faced the troop in front making me wonder why he was looking in the first place. The performances were finished and the Alpha rose up to welcome everyone at the gathering. “This is just a way of appreciating the moon goddess who had brought my princess back in peace, hale and hearty back to the palace. Also, this is to thank everyone who had helped t

They quickly opened the duvet and I finally dropped her on the bed, a deep sigh escaped my throat as I stared at the drunk princess who was busy nibbling on her tongue as if she was scratching it. With my hands in Akimbo, I kept staring at her while wondering why she took on such a crazy challenge when she didn’t even have to. It is not a new thing that her brother, Bain always put her in a difficult situation but she had never behaved this recklessly and when did she started drinking this well? From what I could remember, she has a little tolerance for alcohol. “Make sure you prepare a warm honey water for her when she wakes up and also change her clothes. Also wipe her neck and face with wet towels so she won’t reek hard in the morning” I instructed her maids and they bowed to the order before they rushed out to carry what I asked of them.

He couldn’t process the reason why he would have it and tried to give excuses that it might have been a souvenir he received from the passing human merchants at the border but I was not convinced. It was too many to be tagged as a souvenir and I was sure there was something else fishy going on. He had too much pointing at him to be pure.“I think we need to include the Prince at this time. He needs to know what’s happening in the pack so we can all prepare” I suggested to Remy who in turn told me to calm down and find a solid evidence before taking a step since it involves the Alpha’s uncle“You know Julia also told me about the vampire plan. We have to alert the appropriate quarters as soon as possible. This fight cannot be won if fought silently” I insisted and right there, the Prince walked in on us“What f

From their talk, it was evident that he was now the acting Beta in place of his father and his governance was a bit ruthless.After telling the story of how I ran away and what happened between me and Ansel, their jaws were on the floor. They could not believe Emory could do all I had said because of how he pretended to love me unconditionally but actually had another plan for me.“You son of the devil! How could you do that her?” my mother growled and charged at Ansel who didn’t avoid her even though he could since he saw her coming.
