Chapter 57 Mara POV 12... 13... 14... Ugh! I groaned restlessly titling in the other direction, somehow I couldn't get myself to sleep despite feeling tired and counting the ceiling wasn't working. Maybe it was because the moon ball was a few hours away and everyone was to be attendance, What was I going to say? Will they ask for a speech? Rhys didn't mention anything... Urgh! I groaned, kicking my legs underneath the sheets, my eyes still wide. Knock! Knock! came a gentle knock and a feminine voice I couldn't quite grasp what she said. With a sigh I threw the sheets off my body. “Come in,” I yelled, hoping whoever was on the other side would be able to calm my nerves. The door creaked open, and one of the maids stepped in. She carried a shopping bag in her hands. “This is for you, Miss Mara,” she said, holding the bag out to me. “What is it?” I asked, sitting up in bed and taking the bag. It was lighter than I expected. “I believe it’s a dress,” she replied, her smile wi

Chapter 58Rhys POV“Why is Mara's mind blocking me? I refused to make eye contact with black. I was swaying slightly where I was standing, my pulse rate was high.“What advice do I have from you?” I asked black to shift my weight from one foot to the other.“I suggest you give her a visit, then ask her why she is mind blocking you?” He replied, struggling a shoulder. I hum his words, I think that is a nice idea. With a swift, I left the office straight to her room.I took large strides to her room, hoping to meet her inside. My pace was fast, and before I knew it, I was already in front of her door.“Good morning Alpha” Duncan greeted me, I responded with a signal. Ignoring that, I gave him a questioning glaze which he understood.“Call Mara, so I can take her to the party” I said to him, turning backward. I don't really want to show my anxiety to him.His next words struck me hard, making me turn instantly.“I'm here to take her to the occasion hall” he declared.“ You didn't in

Chapter 59Mara's POVI waddled down to the ball banquet, with a pass smile, I could feel my pulse rate at high space. The view of the building was magnificent. Different types of balloons hung on the top of the buildings. It looked more gorgeous than it was the time after the destruction IT caused. What a nice job from Rhys! I sigh heavily. I looked up to see the fire balloon was sparkling, making its side of beatification to the hall. You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that great work was done to bring the hall into such shape. I chose to wear a jacket upon the gown which I was dressed in due to the cold out there, I would rather not shiver anymore. The weather was a bit nippy, so I decided to put on the jacket with the hunch to take it off while I get to the banquet entrance way. Duncan walks while I follow behind him. The environment sent a cold spill down my body, the faces of the wolves were bright and happy. There was peace at all, seeing the blissful faces of

Chapter 60Mara's POV I couldn't stand those words she said to me, how could my mom come to tell me that? Now Talia is better than me? I just have to leave’ I said to myself, I stood up even when my leg's drawback due to the weakness, I still drag it up.“I don't know, but I just don't want to speak to you again! I couldn't hold my tears where she sat staring rerunning at me, she wasn't remorse of what she said, she wanted me to plead her, but I am not ready for that presently, I just don't want the happiness in me few minutes ago she faded away so with that, hovering my shoulder I walked out from where she sat back to where I sat before I saw her. I sat on my chair, gulping down the bile on my throat blinking back tears a desperate attempt to stop myself from sobbing. How could I cry today, a day of happiness for everyone, especially me? Most of the people are still looking at me as if they were chatting something that has to do with me in the conversation, so I avoided all eye

Chapter 61Mara's POVMy eyes gawk on the floor studying nothing in exact as my head kept repeating each words he pronounced.I looked up at him seeing the smile he let across the lips I was describing within myself few minutes ago, my eyes bulging from its socket.I took them down trying hard to raise it back to where he stands, I wanted to bring myself to reality that he said those words to me, but my eyes are transfixed with horrors, unable to move away, no matter how much I wished to. Likewise, I pressed my lips together, making them all disappear, but I let it slack uncertain weather to breathe or screamed.Not only that, but I could feel my jaw trembled, making it hard for me to breathe.Furthermore, I watched my skin pale, losing my color as it was becoming chalk white.My finger was seeking onto what to hold, so I just grabbed the seat, hitting my button to it.I couldn't put my finger on how I feel about the announcement, as I am just struggling to figure out why Rhys has to

Chapter 62Rhys' POVI was stunned at her revelation but why didn't I see it to, if she was my second chance mate like she claimed she was I would have felt the bond to.After her rejection for a moment nothing happened, there was no break I couldn't even feel the bond everywhere was silent as Mara publicly humiliated me... At this point I was no longer seeing clearly all I could see was red!"So you are lying huh? I am not your second chance mate" I muttered through gritted teeth."No Rhys I-"I don't care!" I yelled cutting her off, more gazes were attracted at my outburst but I didn't care."I do not want to see you again" I spat and she gasped stepping back terrified. Her tears fell freely and I could read how much I hurt her but my anger overwhelmed me that there was no space to feel anything except the boiling anger that consumed me.She opened her mouth to speak but decided against or maybe she was to broken to form words whatever it was without a word she turned around and le

Chapter 63 Mara's POV As the words left my lips I was expecting the bond to break, or at least a sign I had made a connection but nothing happened, could I be mistaken that Rhy's was my second chance mate? I saw it happen I saw it! But it didn't matter since Rhy's mind was already made up and he told me he never wanted to see my face! How could he say those words easily like he was telling me the very time of day and not tearing my heart to shreds. I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't find my tongue tired of the humiliation and heartbreak I did the only thing I could... I stepped away from him my feet moved before my brain could register the thought. Tears streamed down my face, but I forced myself to stop crying. Crying wouldn't help. I had to keep moving, to get away from the hurt. “I knew it,” I muttered to myself between gasps. “I always knew he never loved me" I should have saw it coming that was why I didn't let myself fall for him but even as I said it,

Chapter 64Rhys' POVThe knocking wouldn’t stop. Each pound on the door was a hammer to my skull, sending waves of pain through my head. I groaned, burying my face in the pillow, trying to block it all out but the knocking persisted. “Go away!” I mumbled, my voice barely more than a croak.“Rhys, open up! It’s Duncan,” came the reply. I squinted at the sliver of light streaming through the curtains, each ray a needle in my eyes. What could Duncan possibly want at this hour? And why did my mouth taste like an ashtray?“Duncan, leave me alone!” I shouted, immediately regretting the effort as pain shot through my temples.There was a pause, and for a moment, I thought he might actually leave. But then the door creaked open, and there he was, standing in the doorway, looking annoyingly fresh and awake.“We don’t have time for this, Rhys. You’re already an hour late,” he said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.I blinked at him, trying to process his words. “Late for what

Rhys's eyes were locked onto Mara’s irises as she held onto her silver flowing dress, with a soft smile creased on her face as she walked down the stairs.He couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked, walking down the stairs, graced in her beautiful silver dress.She was truly breathtaking, with her long red hair wrapped around in long waves with a small ribbon placed right on top. Her well-defined juicy lips with the upper lip almost in the shape of a heart that lingered a sweet, caring smile painted with deep crimson lipstick, and her pinkish cheeks and small apart little freckles all came into view when she came up close to Rhys. The space between them slowly closed up as the music by the garden sort of increased when he grabbed her by the hand.“You…” Rhys stuttered, staring into her eyes unable to look away. He’d slowly gone lost in them. Just when she etched closer, he leaned forward whispering into her ears. “You look so beautiful,” He said, with a smile creaesd on

RHY’S POV I had my head lowered as I rummaged through the papers on my desk. I tried extremely hard to focus but the conversation from a couple of weeks ago with Yara, kept whirling in my head. “Go on,” My voice was short and my eyes never left the stack of papers. Ignoring the fact that I’d been on one paragraph for the last couple of hours. “We’ve already upped patrol on the border, but still no sign of her,” Dante spoke up, distressed all over his face as he stared back at me.“I'm open to more orders,” He added, as I leaned back in the chair keeping my eyes low.“We stay on the course, we stay scouting, we have to keep searching,” I said frustratingly.“We can't be sitting ducks, we have to do something—” I grimaced but then paused, the minute I realized I was beginning to over react.It had been a couple of months since she’d suddenly disappeared. A couple of months since we had dinner together and a couple of months since I’ve seen her smile.“Perhaps we could send out a few

"I thought our love was stronger.""I thought you loved me." "I was wrong."Talia's words sliced through my haze. "Rhys, I'm here for you."Her hand touched my shoulder. I shrugged it off.

Rhys povI couldn't shake off the feeling that Talia was involved in Mara's disappearance.Her manipulations knew no bounds. But what if she'd played me from the start?A sudden memory flashed in my mind.How Talia had approached me with Her offer."I can work as a double spy for you and Giovanni," she'd said."I'll feed him false information while keeping you informed."Her expression was somber. "I have something to tell you, Rhys," she'd said."About Giovanni?" I prompted.Talia nodded. "And my involvement," she saidI gestured for her to continue."It all started months ago," Talia began. "Giovanni approached me, charming and persuasive, He promised me wealth, status, and power.""And you believed him?" I asked.Talia's eyes dropped. "I did. I thought he could offer me more than you could, Rhys."More than I could? The words stung."But then I realized..." Talia's voice trailed off."Realized what?"
