*Abi POV*

I feel like screaming my lungs out the moment Omario leaves me, but my lungs feel like they have been punched really hard. I pant continuously to force the air into my lungs because I can’t breathe.

What did you expect Abi? He is the prince for heaven’s sake!

No amount of scolding myself makes the dull aching pain in my heart better.

A few days ago, Omario was a hot, kind and engaged prince, who was helping me. I did not even think of him as anything more, but that kiss and those videos he made me watch and commanded that I think of him like that, sent my mind to places I did not even know existed. Now being told that Terrence is my mate seems to have turned a screw in my head I can’t undo.

I am still bathing in self pity when I get summoned by Brenda. I drag myself out of the bed to her wing in the castle. Alpha Theo is laying lazily on the couch in the lounge when I arrive.

“My number one enemy,” he sneers and a slap lands on my left cheek. I turn to find Brenda glarin

    *Omario POV*Titan increases pace and climbs up the hill against the wind. This is harder against the resists but Terrence accepts the challenge and is right behind him, but Loyd is left a few meters away. He is gonna have to train harder to keep up because I don’t suppose this pace is going to slow down in the future. Titan is right on the top of the hill when the feeling starts and he turns right back, almost crushing into Terrence. “This woman can’t stay safe for a minute!” I complain to Titan“We are meant to protect her and here we are,” Titan responds. I don’t know why I expected anything else from him. “Whoa!” Terrence exclaims leaping over Titan and turning around in a spectacular spin. So smooth!“Whats going on?” Loyd asks when we dash past him again. “Dashing off to save your mate?” Terrence links. This is not supposed to happen. He is in my head and completely shut Loyd out. Rufus can look into souls and read minds, but not this.“Stop reading me, and get out of my he

    *Abi POV* Brenda’s dogs turn out to be adorable darlings. I was sure that they will tear me into pieces when they ran towards me, but all they did is lick the blood I spit on the floor and wang their cute tails, like Titan does when he wants to play. It turns out that they actually like playing and being bathed too. I think I am a dog person because after twenty minutes I don’t mind when they grab my feet or arms. I am not terrified of these supposedly vicious dogs. A few giggles and running around, I have forgotten about Omario and the dull pain that still lingers on my chest. I am still playing with the dogs and they are pulling me into different directions when Omario matches in. Olivia and Loyd stand on the other side of the gate and watch us. “Abi, do you have any idea how… what are you doing here?” Omario yells with his whole face trembling. I look at him, confused. He looks very angry for some reason. I have never seen him like this. “Answer me! Do you have any idea how stu

    *Omario POV*Abi is exhausted and drifts off to sleep immediately after her bath. I would be exhausted too if I had to do all the chores she did today. One thing is clear, Titan was right that I need to get her out of here. I tried my best but I can’t protect her. There are just too many people to look out for now and I can’t be with her every minute of the day. I also can’t keep her in my chambers like a prisoner. There’s also the part of me that seems to have a brain of its own. Like how the fuck did I end up bathing her? What happened to the self control I prided myself of?I watch her sleep, so thin, persecuted, yet so peaceful. I am so glad that we have talked and the weird pain on my chest is gone. I, however can’t explain a lot of things anymore. I don’t even know what I know now. I need to speak to my mother about the mate bond, but first I need to set Oli straight. She and Loyd are sitting in the balcony when I arrive. “Rio. I am sorry for the way I reacted earlier. I..” O

    *Omario POV*“But….” Brenda tries to object. The witch still wants Abi to serve her, but she does not complete her sentence because dad is suddenly on the couch, crouching in pain.Mother must be doing the deed. This bond is something else. “Are you okay dad?” I keep a straight face and feign concern. This is another reason I came here. He turns to different directions as if trying to find a comfortable spot. His facial expression reflects the pain he is in, with sweat dripping down his brow.“Nala… fuck!” he curses and winces. I frown and do my best to keep a straight face. Dad is now holding his chest, then his tummy before getting up and taking a few steps towards the door. “Take a seat, Dad. I will get the physician.”“No, take me to Nala.”I look at him with a confused expression, but he does not explain himself. “You are not okay, Dad. Please take a seat,”I plead like a concerned son. Brenda rushes to his side and tugs on his shirt. “Omario is right. Take a seat and let th

    *Abi POV*It’s Thursday morning when I wake up to find Omario smiling at me. That smile literally takes my breath away. “Morning sleepy head.”I look suspiciously at him. He is definitely up to something. but I can’t quite figure out what. With Terrence gone, I don’t have anyone to search what he is up to. I can’t even ask Teresa because he won’t let me return to the servants quarters. Apparently he does not trust any other servant around me besides Terrence. Since the dog incident, he has become very protective of me and I don’t know what to make of it. “Stop overthinking things. I have something for you,” he says and pushes a bag towards me. I sit up and open it and my heart sinks. I hate turning him down when he is just being kind. “I really appreciate your help but I told you that I am not…”“It’s the castle’s new servant’s uniform,”he interjects. I shake my head and take out four cotton dresses, tekkies and tracksuits. They look simple and very comfortable. The Lilly town k

    *Omario POV*I arrive at the castle before dad and his folks return. The idiots are probably still chasing the rogue scent Terrence sent out. I am not worried about Terrence. With his speed, I am pretty sure that he is back in Palmland by now. “Still waiting?” I ask Rufus, whom I find waiting in the courtyard. He probably waited for the hunting party to return until he came out here to investigate. “Thank you, Your Majesty,” he says and bows respectfully in front of me. His response take me by surprise but I keep a straight face. “For what exactly?”He smiles at me and I suddenly feel bare. “Now I won’t be involved in persecuting an innocent girl. I will forever be grateful to you.”I look at him with mixed feelings. He knows too much. All this information make me vulnerable and his a liability. “You have earned my trust and loyalty. Anything I know, I will take to my grave. You have my word, Your Majesty,” he vows, reading through me. At least he is not in my head like my Gamma

    *Omario POV*Two weeks later, my parents and I having breakfast. It feels like we are a family for once in my entire life. “This is nice. You two like this,”I say with a huge grin. I am twenty-two years old, I have seen too much of dad’s cruelty to be naive but I would still love yearn for a good, normal and loving family. “You mean me not getting any?”dad sneers. I guess he does not feel the same. “Get over it and no one is stopping you from getting a divorce!” mom snaps while glaring at him. He complains about not sleeping around like it’s his basic human right and mom does not take his crap these days. “You have mom,” I suggest. Surely this can’t be too bad considering they both spent half the morning in bed together. “The sex is great but your mom is too weak! Her goodness and sympathy is too suffocating. Can you believe that she is on my case about handing Brenda to Blake? How weak can you get?” he sneers with a disgust written all over his face. “Brenda is horrible and y

    *Omario POV*Four months later….“Missing the sunlight?” Terrence asks when he finds me staring at the sunset. He returned from Palmland three months ago and him and I have gotten even closer. “What?”“Thin as a skeleton but a million dollar smile that lights up the castle,” he teases. He is still convinced that Abi is my mate and I have stopped arguing with him on it. “I hope that she is okay,”I confess. He is the only person I can talk to about her. I could try to find out how she is but that would be too risky. With Pious always lingering around, I am pretty sure that one of his missions is to find her. “She is a fighter. Of course she is okay.” I don’t know if Terrence is trying to convince me or himself, but I hope he is right. “Are you okay?” The concern on his voice is unmistakable. He is almost a brother I never had, but an irritating one at times. I shrug my shoulders. I just feel down a lot lately. With Brenda back in the castle, dad is completely under her spell and m

    *Omario POV*A day later, Luna Sarah bids us farewell to return to her pack. She and my mother have had very long conversations. Our warriors will accompany her all the way. With the sceptre on her hand and determination to make her pack better, I have no doubt that she will just be fine. The whole nation is fussing about our pup, I don’t know how many times I have seen his name on ships, billboards and television adverts. Having Terrence, Duncan and Loyd around has made my job so much easier. I get to spend a lot of time with my mate and pup, knowing that everything is taken care off. Abi is also thrilled to have mother back. The two of them spend hours giggling, it warms my heart to see them so happy. Two months later, mother and Terrence’s pup is born and my cocky friend is now worse and insists on being addressed as father Alpha.

    *Omario POV*Rufus keeps my eyes open. Alpha C’s face is priceless when Dire’s razor sharp teeth sink into his neck. His lifeless body is thrown into the floor like the useless piece of garbage he was. Olivia’s wolf must have deemed the scene too much to witness because she is now in her human form. I don’t feel the least sympathetic as she holds her chest and screams in horror as the disgusting stolen bond fades. “His Highness is slipping away. I can’t hold him back anymore!” It is the first time I hear Rufus so distressed. I guess the prophet really did love me. Dire growls at Olivia, who shrinks and trembles. Shaking his head, he shifts, hurries towards me and kneels in front of me. “Leave his eyes alone,” Terrence commands. “He will surely die!” Rufus cries but Terrence laughs at him. “No, he won’t.” He sounds so certain but I am not so pessimistic. “Unless he is an idiot, then he will,” he adds. I guess the time away has not done much to change his cocky attitude. “Liste

    *Omario POV*“We need the pup to keep Omario in check. Cut it out, give it to me and kill her,” Alpha C instructs while I am on my knees begging for them to spare my mate. Him and Olivia have been this back and forth trying to come up with the best way to kill Abi while keeping themselves safe. Olivia shakes her head. “If I do that, then she will shift into that fire monster. You were there when she killed everyone in a flash. She has to die before the pup is born or we are as good as dead.”Alpha C sighs. “You are right. What can I do without you?”Olivia giggles and sticks her tongue down the old man’s throat. It’s a disgusting sight but the least of my worries right now. My mate is groaning with labour pains while her life hangs by a thread. “How about I will kill her and quickly cut out the pup before it dies?” she suggests. I have to agree that is the best strategy for them, but really deadly for Abi. She won’t shift and risk killing our pup, but that hands her right into ene

    *Omario POV*I know when Duncan leads me to the secure study that whatever this royal visitor has to say must be really serious and sensitive.“Alpha Omario,”Luna Sarah of the Palmland pack bows respectfully the moment I walk in. “To what do I owe this visit?”She will have to forgive my lack of hospitality. I really don’t have the patience nor the time. My mate is in excruciating pain, I should be by her side. She must have read my mind because she immediately explains herself. “I am sorry to arrive unannounced, but this is urgent. Clement and that seductress you exchanged your father’s horses for are coming to overthrow you.”I can feel her anger when she utters the seductress. My curiosity is already piqued. The Clement she is referring to is famously known as Alpha C of the Palmland pack. He was dad’s friend, that’s why I had suggested he gave him the horses when he wanted them killed. Those are the same horses Terrence bought back a few months back in exchange for Olivia. “Al

    *Omario POV*We are preparing to visit the families of the dead elders when Rufus arrives. I can tell from his expression that it’s not good news. Taking a stroll in the garden to get away from eavesdroppers and my mate, he quietly follows. I stop right in the middle. “Speak.”“The vision is now clear, Your Highness.”I already guessed that it was about that. “Proceed.”“It is not good news, My Lord.”“I have gathered that much. I need to know.”“Very soon, you will be faced with a difficult choice. The kingdom for your mate and heir.”My heart sinks, Abi might not approve but it’s a clear choice for me. He reads through me and proceeds. “It’s not that easy and clear, Your Highness. You will also have to choose between your heir and your mate.”“No!”“I am sorry, Your Highness.”“I can not make that choice, ever.” I am saying this more to myself than to Rufus. He sighs and looks away from me. A cold chill goes down my spine. This can’t be good.“What?”I still need to know as mu

    *Omario POV*It’s been just over eight months since Terrence and Mom left. They do call from time to time, they even send photos of them all over the world, but it’s not the same. We really miss them. Teresa and her mate Duncan, have really proved themselves as worthy Betas. Besides the elders who don’t seem to agree with any of our decisions, our people are happy and our kingdom is really thriving. “Good morning, Omar,” my puffy, almost hundred kilograms mate says with a yawn the moment she opens her eyes. She stretches her arms and tries to get off the bed. I catch her just on time, bringing her back to the bed. I really believed that pregnant women got tired a lot, until I met her. She is heavily pregnant with swollen feet but I swear she has more energy than most people. “Morning Beautiful. Where do you think you are going?”She looks at me with the same cute disapproving expression. “For the hundredth time, Omar, I am pregnant, not sick. The doctors told you that.”I can’t h

We spoke the whole night about it, it’s now time to put it into practice. Terrence gets out of the car and I immediately sense something strange and powerful about him. I can feel his majestic wolf demanding submission from mine. This can’t be good. Abi narrows her eyes before turning to me. “Something is different about him.”I nod my head. “I feel him too.”“It’s happening, isn’t it?”“I don’t know, Babe, but we will find out soon enough.”“Your Highnesses,” Terrence bows with a huge grin on his face before hugging Abi longer than he usually does. “Watch it,” I warn and feel Titan growl inside. Terrence laughs, letting go of Abi and embracing me very tight. “What’s wrong with you?” Terrence is acting very strange even for him. He is already squeezing my mother by the time I recollect myself and rea

    *Abi POV*An hour after everyone has left, Omario is still hoovering over my tummy, whispering sweet nothings to his foetus. I still can’t get myself to maintain eye contact with him when he lifts up his head. I don’t even see him shift into Titan until I feel the soft fur against my skin. My heart suddenly dances and my soul is at peace when my big fluffy smile-keeper jumps to my arms and licks my face. I can’t stop giggling as I run my hands through his soft fur. I don’t think I have been this happy since he and Omario left. He slightly backs away and looks at me as if trying to recall something. His eyes are suddenly filled with sadness. “T?” his sudden change terrifies me. Nothing and no one else gets to him, except me. He only looks like this when I did something hurtful. “You tried to reject us,” he reminds me. I close my eyes, wishing I could take back that day. “I was angry and stupid. I’m so sorry.” I don’t even know how to explain myself. I have to learn to deal with

Another bout of nausea hits me, sending me flying to the toilet. I hardly sleep these days. If I am not cursing my mate, I am throwing up everything. I am just glad that seems to be early morning and evenings when I am alone. The last thing I need is everyone fussing over me. As is, Mother Luna Nala is fussing enough. She is even insisting on cooking all my food. I appreciate all her support and the love she is showering me with.Unlike Terrence, who openly tells me that I am overreacting, she has never even once blamed me for anything. “You know what this means, right?” Nina links. I ignore her, gag and throw up some more. “Abi,” Nina calls me, impatiently. “Yes, Nina, I know,” I snap. “He gets to walk and be with his childhood love while I…”“He would be here if we didn’t threaten to kill Olivia and her pup,” my stupid w
