I made my way to the part of the forest where Godfrey had disappeared to. I don't know if he was still there but I wanted to try my luck. It was far better walking in the dark forest late at night than sleeping in the same bed with Thomas."Godfrey!" I whispered-yelled but didn't get any reply. "Godfrey* I called out a little louder as I went deeper into the forest. I knew I wasn't supposed to do this but I really wanted to know if he was okay'Or have your ride' Leslie hissed and I rolled my eyes at her. 'I am not some unreasonable sex-craving creature, I know Godfrey is hurt, so I won't let him ride me,' I smirk appeared on my lips as I said, 'I'll ride him instead,' Leslie, my wolf, and I kept talking for a long time before I finally gave up and went back to the pack house. Godfrey must have gone to bed. When I got back to our room, I was so exhausted that I fell on the bed, and within minutes, I was in dreamland.****I stepped out of the pack house only to find Pamela, Thomas
When I thought the ride to the Under pack was bad, the ride back was worse. Nathan was asked to follow us and protect us with his life. Like I can't protect myself. Joana and I were uncomfortable throughout the ride. My dream to fuck Godfrey along the way couldn't come to pass. Nathan is a bone in the throat and I wish Godfrey was as crazy as Joana. We would have all ganged up and killed the bastard. Why do I feel he is so happy that he was coming with us back to the pack? What's interesting about sitting in a carriage with two women who hate you with passion? The journey suddenly became so long, making me wonder if this wasn't the same routine we had passed through while we were going. The journey was silent, no one spoke to the other, not even Joana and I until we finally made it to the pack. Seeing the castle from afar, I was the happiest. If not I didn't want to ruin this gown of mine, I would have quickly transformed and run to the castle without their slow horse's help. Whe
The next morning came as fast as lightning and I couldn't be more excited. I had racked my brain for ways to get Godfrey to finally give in to my seduction. I walked into the bathroom with a towel in my hand as I continued to think of how to go about my plan. It isn't going to be like the other day that my plans got ruined, I won't let that happen today. "Joana!" I called from the bathroom, I sat in the small pool in the bathroom. She came running in,"What is it? I'm preparing your clothes," Joana said but I waved my hand, gesturing her to stop."How about we go on a picnic!" I asked and her eyes glowed. "Wow, Georgi, that's so sweet of you. Thank you so much, I'll ask the maids to get some—""Huh, the picnic is for me and Godfrey," I said to her and she frowned. Her fingers formed a fist while I burst into laughter. I was laughing so hard at her, that I didn't have plans of taking her on a picnic. In fact, until Godfrey finally agrees to be with me, no one is having fun! "So wha
"My queen!" The two maids bowed their heads, shocked written all over their faces. I could see their hands brushing their skirts, arranging them properly. My heart clenched, my throat tightened as I tried to swallow. My fingers clenched the basket of fruits in my hand. Was Godfrey sleeping with the maids?Why haven't I ever thought of it before? He could be receiving love elsewhere and that is why he doesn't want to have anything to do with me. After all, the servant's quarters are different and far from my chambers. "Where…" My words failed me. Clearing my throat and acting like I wasn't affected even though I was, my eyes darkened as I asked again, "Where are you both coming from? And what the hell are you both doing in the male's quarters?" "We… we are sorry, my queen," they bowed their lousy heads that I so wanted to knock. How dare they touch what belongs to me!!!"I asked you a question! I do not want your stupid apology. What the hell are you both doing in the male servant
When we got to the stable, I was smiling like a clown as I watched him go check on the horse. He seems to have noticed that I wasn't telling the truth about the horse being in labor right from time."I think she lost the baby," I pressed my lips together when he didn't stop staring at me. He shook his head before saying,"The horse wasn't pregnant, my queen. It's male," I bit my tongue and chuckled, walking over to where he stood beside the horse, I asked,"You know that very well, why did you come along with me?" His fingers were caressing the horse and I wished for a moment there if I could be that horse. He didn't reply to my question for a while. I watched him keenly before saying again,"Godfrey," "My queen, can we not do this? I am not interested. I don't even like you," "Lies!" I spat out. My eyes shot daggers at him as I reminded him, "It was this same place that you confessed not being able to stop thinking about me. I know you like me, Godfrey. I know it." My hand found
My mouth twitched, and my eyes darkened as I stared at Godfrey. What the hell is wrong with this boy?!? I was about to yell at him when I heard footsteps from behind, I turned around to find Nathan coming out of the woods. "Nathan," "My lady," he had a smile on his face and I frowned. What was he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be sleeping?"What… how…" "I came in search of you when I couldn't find you in the castle. What are you doing here in the woods all by yourself?" All by myself? I turned back only to find the spot where Godfrey had stood a while ago empty. Where did he disappear to?"I… I… I came to get some fresh air." His brows raised as he came forward to where I stood, he picked up some stones and began to disturb the water with them. "You've been getting a lot of fresh air lately. Are you sure you aren't expecting?" My once-searching eyes moved to Nathan with a deep frown on my face. What is with this idiot? First of all, he came here to disturb my moment with G
“Are you sure, Georgi? We can't afford to get caught” Joana eyed me and I rolled my eyes. “You're speaking like if I get caught then you'll face the punishment. Do not worry, Godfrey left before he could see us” I replied confidently before adding, “I think,” “You think?” Joana cocked her head, her lips twitched and I chuckled before standing up from the bed. I didn't want to think about my uncountable failures in trying to seduce Godfrey. Making my way into the bathroom, I went to have a cool bath, soaking myself in the mini pool.“But how come Nathan didn't sleep?” Joana asked, disrupting my thoughts. I glared at her, at least my thoughts were where I could drown myself in yet she came to disturb me. “Maybe he has been taking an antidote for the TanTan that it no longer affects him or maybe you didn't put it in his food—” “I swear I did,” Joana cut me off, making me shrug. We will never know but I have learnt my lesson. To be extra careful. And because Leslie was as interested
Godfrey's POVI didn't know whether to bless the moon goddess for sending Beta Nathan at that moment or not. That woman was such a seductress and for the second time, I was falling for her tricks again. I knew what I was supposed to do and what not yet I followed her. I don't know why I still find it hard to refuse her. She had so much impact on me that I cannot explain. And that's to Draco, my wolf who had signaled me of someone coming. With great speed, I had pushed Queen Goergina away from me like she was some plague. I didn't know what I would have done if I had been found in that position with the queen of Firedon. My head would have been hung in the center of the pack square. I didn't even give her an opportunity to speak as I rushed into the woods leaving her there. Hiding behind a tree far away from her, I stood there listening to their conversation. She wouldn't have been able to save us. She can't. Beta Nathan was keeping a watch on her, following the instructions of Alp
GODFREY'S POV. It was so hot in the room I was given, they should have at least given me a comforting room since today was going to be my last day breathing. I tried to sleep but the thought of how I would be brutally killed, the pain, the blood gushing from my beheaded head was the only thing that clouded my mind, even Draco seemed restless. I got up from the bed, pacing around for a while but it didn't seem to cure the insomnia, so I decided to take a walk in this new environment. I got out of the door, my legs shivering in fear, I shouldn't be seen walking around in the palace especially when I was just a guest, but it was not going to make any difference, I was going to die tomorrow so what could be the worse thing that could happen if I am caught. I walked through the hallway, the place was very quiet, the moonlight flittering through the window casting eerie shadows on the floor. Sentinels were not walking around like our pack, it seemed like this place was more peaceful t
GEORGINA'S POV. The royal carriage moved through the woods, the sound of the horses’ hooves in the dirt path. I sat by the window, looking out at the trees and wildflowers. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting golden patterns on the ground. Birds sang, and the gentle rustling of the wind filled the air. The beauty of nature offered some comfort, but it couldn’t take away the pain in my heart. Tomorrow, Godfrey would die. I tried so many times to reassure myself that Godfrey would not die, but deep down, I knew that Godfrey would die. I focused on the view outside, hoping it could distract me, even for a moment. The king sat across from me, looking relaxed, I could only smolder at him with resentment, if anything happens to Godfrey which I am sure he would die, I swear I would make sure Ashely's life in the palace also becomes unbearable. Pamela sat beside him, talking cheerfully, She spoke about the men she would meet and used her charm on them, her tone confident and p
Godfrey's pov. I rushed out of the queen's room, holding my tears as possible as I could as soon as I got to a corner, I went down on my knees and I let the tears flow down freely. “I hope you can forgive me, my queen,” I cried. If I don't fight, I would be putting the queen in more danger, beta Nathan would stop at nothing to make sure he ruins my life and it could also ruin the queen. Sam was right, there was a reason the queen's men stayed hidden. I staggered to my room, at least if I am going to die tomorrow, I should get a good night's sleep, the last sleep that I could wake up from. I got to my room, I met David pacing around the room, he turned to me immediately after I walked in. “Hey what Godfrey, how are you doing?” He asked. “Were you able to talk to the king?”I shook my head as I sat on my bed. “I have decided to go to the fight, I will be traveling first thing tomorrow morning.”“My goodness, Godfrey, this isn't possible,” he said sitting down beside me, tears bri
GEORGINA'S POV. “Wait,” my jaws dropped open in shock, as I shook my head in disbelief. What was Godfrey talking about? Was my ears failing me or did Godfrey actually say that he was participating in the fight? “Are you crazy?” I snapped, my voice echoing loudly in the hallway. “Godfrey, why would you decide to kill yourself when I am on the verge of hanging myself trying to protect you.”“My queen,” he bowed. “Please, I want you to believe in me, I can do this.*I scoffed loudly shaking my head in disagreement, my blood boiling through my veins, if one could taste anger and frustration with their tongues, it would be what I was tasting right now… a sour taste filled with blood. “Godfrey,” I called, trying to calm myself down, but it was clear I was doing a terrible job of calming myself down. “My queen,” he answered, his head still bowed. Joana tugged my gown repeatedly, I turned to her angrily. “What?” I snapped. She gestured to me to look in a direction, my drama was already
GEORGINA'S POV. “Can you ask your maid to leave us for a moment?” I asked Thomas, my fist clenched In anger. Why was I getting angry? I knew about his affair and I was already way over it, could it be that his boldness to be fucking his mistress in broad daylight while he sent Godfrey to an early grave? Or was it his lack of patience that he was just with me a couple of minutes ago, who was I kidding? He left Pamela's party to go fuck his mistress. “Of course,” he responded, turning to her. “Ashley, please excuse us for a moment.”“Yes my king,” she bows and turns to me. “My queen, would you need something?” She asked. I bit my lips to stop myself from responding rudely. “I'm fine, I just want to talk to the king.”“Okay,” she smiled walking out. Joana tugged my gown, I glanced at her over my shoulder. “Do you want me to stay?” She whispered. I shook my head. “Unfortunately I would be fine.”She nodded without saying another word she walked out. I waited till I heard the door
GODFREY'S POV. “Fuck,” I screamed as soon as I got to my room. What the hell just happened? What in the world just happened to me? Did I just agree to fight a monster to prove my innocence? Is this how far Beta Nathan wants to go just to destroy me? Is this because I killed his favorite sentinel or was it something more? Was it because of the queen? I am not even part of the queen's men…at least not fully. “What am I going to do?” I asked rhetorically burying my face in my palm. It is definitely not too late to consider running away. What have I gotten myself into? I rushed to my bed, picking up the few clothes I had, I had to make a run for it. David walked in, his eyes widened like he had just seen a ghost. “What are you doing?” He asked still standing by the door. “Me?” I asked, sweat dripping off my face. “what are you talking about?”“Should I be worried about the fact that you are acting like there are more than just the two of us here or I should be scared or something th
GEORGINA'S POV. I jerked up from my chair my fist clenched in anger, I can't believe Godfrey would choose to fight that monster. Thomas was a proud man, that I was well aware of, but why was he willing to sacrifice Godfrey's life for some silly games? Beta Nathan must have done this, he is surely the cause of this. He falsely praised Godfrey for the talent…what talent? Godfrey can't even kill a mouse right now…well he did kill the wolf that attacked me the other time but Godfrey can't fight that monster. Could this be the revenge Nathan spoke about?“Well why don't you go and keep practicing,” Thomas laughed. Godfrey bowed one last time before he walked out. Beta Nathan quietly bowed to the king and turned to me. “My lady, you have indeed been a blessing to this kingdom, I must say that I have a lot to learn from you,” he said with a sly smile before bowing his head in respect.“Yes, I am very lucky to have her,” Thomas added. “And it is my regret that I have someone as despica
GODFREY'S POV.I was out practicing with some other men, holding a long wooden stick for training. We had been practicing for some time, working on our moves, everyone just wanted to get ready for the test.“Godfrey,” gamma Israel called, I raised my head to his direction, Gamma Israel was coming toward me. I stopped and looked at him, waiting for him to speak.He stopped in my front. “Beta Nathan wants to see you, it's very important, you should go and see him now, or he would get angry.”I was out training with some of the other men, practicing different moves with a wooden stick. Just as I was getting into a rhythm, I saw Gamma Israel heading over, a serious look on his face. I lowered my stick and waited for him.I nodded. “Understood.” I dropped the stick on the ground and turned to leave.What does Beta Nathan want to discuss with me? I hope he is not planning to do anything that could kill me or get me in trouble?Just as I neared his office, I ran into Joana. She looked surpri
GEORGINA'S POV. The morning outside was bright and full of life. Sunlight streamed in through the window, filling the room with a warm glow. The sky was a clear, light blue with no clouds in sight. Birds chirped happily, their songs drifting into the room and adding to the peaceful silence. A gentle breeze moved the leaves on the trees, making them shimmer in the sunlight. As I sat quietly on my bed. The fresh, light scent of morning air came through the open window. I had just finished taking my bath, resting on bed with a cup of tea. The door gently opened revealing Joana who walked in with a tray of biscuits. “Morning Georgi,” she greeted with a smile. “I could say your morning is good, you must have had Godfrey at your side last night.”I flickered my eyes in her direction. “He didn't come last night,” I revealed. “Why didn't he come?” She asked her brows furrowed in curiosity. “That reminds me I didn't see him at the party last night after you both came back, he slipped a
