~Nicholas~“Nico,I don't want you to go any closer to Fernando.Who knows what he might try to do to you?”She became more worried.“He is not someone to be trusted,son.If he killed his biological dad and blood brother,what can he possibly do to you?He never wanted you even before he knew that you existed because you were an illegitimate child.”Mom paused to and heaved a deep sigh.I could feel the bitterness in her her voice with each word that escaped her lips.“He only acknowledged your existence because he lost his whole family that he valued so much.If not that,he would have never cared about you.I know him too well.He is only concerned if he has somethings to gain from it.He only wants to use you,son.I want you to be smart and never allow yourself to be used like a puppet.”My grip on the coffee cup tightened as my mother's words added up to the hate that I harboured inside my heart towards Fernando.I placed the cup of coffee that I was holding in my hands on the counter then I wa
~Amara~The day that we had been waiting for for such a long time was finally here.It took Dad and his men another two weeks of sweat, sleepless nights and non-stop hard work to come this far.The workload was overwhelming and I had to step in to help out in any way that I could.Nico,Luke and I helped in taking care of the pack reports and other paperwork every single day after coming from campus.Helping out with the paperwork and the kingdom's activities gave me more time to spend with Nico since we worked together.Even though it was exhausting,I was happy that I worked close to my mate.Dad created some little time to spend with Patricia and she appreciated it even though it was not that much time.Everything back in campus was going smoothly.Sandra never fought me back whenever I asked her to do something and gave me the respect that I deserved.No one respected her since she lost all the respect when Dad took over Lakeside pack and her standards lowered from being the Beta's daug
~Amara~“Sure,”I nodded and held onto his arm and we left my room.We descended the grand staircase carefully and Nico checked on me just to make sure that I was doing alright.He was being a doting mate and I liked it whenever he pampered me.Our parents were ready and waiting for us on the ground floor,”Princess,you look so beautiful.”Dad complimented me and I flashed him a smile.“You look good too,Dad.”He smiled and we hugged.Despite Dad's happy face,I could see the dark circles on his eyes since I was standing too close to him.I was glad that he would finally get some rest because he was done with building the kingdom.“Your hard work has finally paid of,Dad.The sleepless night was not all in vain because you're going to receive your flowers today.”My lips curved into a smile.I have never been proud of my Dad as I was at the moment.Patricia looked beautiful too,her green eyes stood out and the make-up artist did a great job.As we were still talking,the door opened and Dad's Beta
~Luke~“Son,are you looking for someone?”I turned to look at my Dad when I heard his voice and felt him tap my shoulder.“Not...really.”I shrugged nonchalantly,”I'm looking for a campus friend.He told me that he would attend our king's crowning ceremony.He is an Alpha's son from the west.”I explained to Dad and he nodded in understanding.I didn't want Dad to know my intention because I wanted it to be a surprise.“Okay,let me know if you find your campus friend.Incase you don't,let me know so that I can ask if he attended the ceremony.”I nodded at Dad's words and my lips curved into a smile.“Excuse me son,I need to talk to Alpha's and Beta's from other packs.We need to discuss some pack and kingdom welfare.”Dad explained to me and I nodded in understanding.I felt guilty for lying to him but put on a straight face.Her scent became stronger with each passing second and I couldn't help but inhale deeply.It was one of the sweetest scents that I have ever smelled and it awakened all th
~Luke~My wolf howled in my head when I saw the mark on my mate's neck.I felt a thought someone was squeezing my heart into a tiny ball and it was becoming hard for me to breath.I couldn't explain how I was really feeling…all the dreams that I had about my fated mate crumbled on my feet.Why was the universe so mean to me?Why did it take away everything from me? Why? I couldn't help but ask myself so many question.I was happy that I had finally found my mate after looking for her for months,not knowing that she was already claimed by someone else.My wolf howled in my head as he fought for release.I know how much he was wounded…It had always been my wolf's wish to find his mate and that is why we never gave up in searching for her until we found her.However,it seemed as though she was not ours anymore.She belonged to someone else who was holding her hand so tightly, rubbing it in my face so that I could see.I clenched my hand into a tight fist when I looked at their intertwined h
~Luke~“I have been looking for you for months, Arabella.I had sleepless nights thinking about my fated mate,you.”I ran my fingers through my short hair in frustration.“I never stopped looking for you until I felt your presence minutes ago.”I paused and heaved a deep sigh.“I thought that you were looking for me too.I thought that you wanted to find me so badly the same way I did.I thought that you were waiting for me too, Arabella.”The corner of my lips curved into a bitter smile.“I think I was too paranoid and only build castles in my head.”I shook my head in disbelief.“Do you have any idea how many times I almost gave up searching for you but I kept on going?”Arabella didn't respond to my question.“There is no a single day that I gave up on you,on us.I had a feeling that one day I would find you.I had a feeling that we will find our way to each other's arms even though it looked impossible sometimes.”I paused and heaved another deep sigh.It took me a lot of courage to speak up a
~Luke~More tears flowed when she finally reached the end of her sad story.“No! I'm not going to allow that to happen to you,mate. You're not going to be one of those harem women because you don't deserve it.”I pulled her into my arms and patted her back soothingly.Arabella clung onto me as though she didn't want to let go.My wolf howled in my head,I knew he could feel the pain that our mate was going through and so did I.I didn't know what I was going to do to stop the bastard from taking Arabella as his mistress but,one thing was certain!There was no way that I was going to allow my mate to be taken away from me after all the struggles that I went through to find her.I had sleepless nights thinking if I would ever find her.Sometimes I would accompany Dad to other packs whenever Alpha Abraham asked him to take care of the pack matters on his behalf just to look for my mate.How was I supposed to let go so easily after going through all this to be with her?I had thought that she w
~Luke~“You...haven't found her yet?I can help you look for her if that is the case.”Amara said and put on a small smile.I heaved a deep sigh and ran my fingers through my hair.“I already found her,”I said and Amara creased her eyebrows in confusion as she looked around.“And…where is she?”She asked hesitantly.It was quiet as I recalled watching my mate walk away holding hands with someone else and I fisted my hands.“She is someone else's already.”Amara's eyes widened into saucers when she heard my words.“What?You mean she is claimed by someone else?”She asked and I nodded.“You’re going to let her go just like that after going through everything to find her?You are going to let whoever claimed her to have her just like that ?”Amara asked countless questions and I didn't know what to tell her.Amara has watched me go through a lot of struggles just in the name of “looking for my fated mate”.My heart twisted at the thought of it and I clenched my hand into a tight fist.“Aren't you
