NORAI sat quietly in my chambers as the events of the past few months slipped in and out of my memory while I gently caressed my already bulging baby bump, even though it wasn't that noticeable.I understood that Horace would get upset about Rodriguez claiming the throne in his absence, but what I never expected was that he would dare to kill him on the spot.It had already been four months, but it still gave me chills whenever I remembered it. What was I expecting? If he could dare to strangle me, then who is Rodriguez?Right there on the spot, I was glad Gavner had nothing to do with it... otherwise, I had no idea what I would have done.For the past week, Daciana has been growing tired, and I knew it was because of the child I was carrying inside of me.I didn't believe Daciana when she said my thoughts were bothering her because she always found a way to make me do things in her own way. The way she wanted it to be.Placing my elbow in my lap as I cupped my jaw, I hiccuped, then i
CANDRAI couldn't believe Rodriguez was dead. Somehow I felt Horace was keeping me by his side for a reason.Not just because he wanted to, I was certain that he had an ulterior motive, which made me more scared and worried.He was pretending to take me in and keep me by his side. Somehow, I was supposed to be happy to get him back.It was more like I was always on the winning side, but...What exactly is my fate?The fact that Nora still remained in the castle after Horace made a public statement to the elders about him not recognising herI expected her to throw a fist at Horace or try to explain herself to him, but she didn't make a move.She didn't bother to explain herself; it was more like she was less concerned about it.But now I have no idea what to do with Horace. As I paced around the balcony, I thought of coming clean to Horace and asking him why he took me back.I would never like a miserable death for myself; that would be a disaster.Angelica was lucky not to be among th
CANDRAI couldn't believe my ears when Horace told me that reclaiming Nora was a mistake and a result of his recklessness.Now that I have peace of mind, I can go around flaunting myself the way I want to, and no one can object to that.The thought of teaching Nora a lesson so she knows who the boss is was on my mind.Initially, she thought she had hit the jackpot, but right now, that's not the case because I got to climb back to the position I was in.I took a lot of risks to get to where I am, and I won't let anyone drag me down for the second time.I had just followed Horace to his study room. He had quite a pile of jobs to take care of.Which made me wonder what Rodriguez had been doing ever since he ascended the position.What did he think it meant to become an Alpha?Rodriguez was just lagging around and not doing anything other than harassing some maidens.At one point, I wondered what the future of Midnight Prowler's pack would have been if Horace hadn't returned.He walked int
GAVNERI had no idea what was going on, but I felt the uneasiness coming from Nora. I had just left her some hours ago to shower and have lunch.I knew she wouldn't just feel pain without anyone harassing her, and I wondered why she wasn't fighting back.But I tried to put myself in her shoes, and I understand her. She's getting weak these days. Probably because of the child growing inside of her, it seemed like the child was drawing all her energy.I hurriedly got up from my king-sized bed and headed straight to her chambers. Surprisingly, the door was wide open, and I was hearing a threatening voice from the inside.Rushing in just to see Candra push Nora down to the couch, I had no idea how crazy I was, but I stood back for a while, waiting to know if Nora was going to act back.But she didn't. She allowed Nora to have her way with her, and that pissed me off.All these while I've been making sure she was okay, I even told Sarah to watch over her and make sure she showers and has a
NORAIt's been weeks since I overheard Horace and Gavner's conversation, and I have been trying to get over what I heard.Queen Shiba had sent for me some minutes ago to discuss the affairs of the castle. I almost told her that the Luna title didn't belong to me anymore and that it was now in the hands of Candra, but when I remembered what Queen Shiba had told me months ago, I didn't make the mistake of telling her that what was mine had been taken away.Strolling through the stairs as my shoes made a clicking sound on the marbled floor, I heard people laughing close to me.Looking up, I realized I was close to Horace's study room, and the sounds I was hearing were coming from there.I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I had to take a peek at what was going on and what was funny. It had been a long time since I saw Horace laughing, and it made me wonder how he looked with a smile on his face—with the same face he glared at me with when he tried to strangle me.I was walking carefully
NORAAs Lilith's words sank into my head, It made me wonder what I was even doing in the castle.Horace had indirectly rejected me... is this how I'm going to keep getting rejected?I was tired of everything going on in my life, and if I could ask for anything, it would be a happy life, not this."Are you sure about this?" Sarah asked.I knew she was worried about me, but I needed to act. I made a choice, and even though it didn't sit well with Gavner, I was ready for whatever was going to happen later on.I nodded my head as Sarah made my hair, fixing some accessories on it. It wasn't really necessary, but maybe she wanted me to look exceptionally great out there."I have no other choice... I'd rather get this done before it's too late," I said, sucking on my lower lip as I lowered my head."I'm rooting for you!" Sarah assured me as a smile appeared on her face, lifting my spirits.I smiled back at her.Silently, I prayed that everything would go smoothly. I didn't want things to go w
HORACEI climbed into the couch in my study room, wondering why Nora did that.I had also suspected that something was going on between the two of them, but I had no idea what it was. Nora gave me her word that she didn't have any lingering feelings for Gavner, and months later, she announced her pregnancy to the court members.Was she aware of how that made me feel? I was sick and tired of pretending not to know her.I would be lying if I said I wasn't surprised when she accepted my rejection.How did she know that I said our mating was mere formality? Did Candra tell her? Because I clearly don't trust that bitch one bit!Or did she maybe overhear me telling Gavner?I was well aware that Gavner wanted to take her away from me, but I had no idea he would replace my mark and plant his seeds inside her.Goodness! My head was spinning.All because of the actions my mother took... I'm suffering the consequences of her actions... the choice she made is ruining my life.I already feel disgus
GAVNERI couldn't bear what Lilith had just told me... how could Horace try to do such a thing again?I only forgave him the first time he tried because I thought it was a reflex."Damn!" I screamed in my room as I stood up from the bed.I rushed into the bathroom to have a quick shower because Horace would have to give me answers.Why would he try to take out her heart?Nora couldn't tell me about it because she was scared of how I would react, which made Lilith walk up to me.I promised her that I wouldn't act up, but now I feel guilty just lying on my bed, knowing fully well that Horace tried to hurt my woman.It is my responsibility to deal with anyone who tries such things on my wife.Turning on the shower, I shut my eyes, allowing the water to cascade down my body. I tried to know if it would calm me down, but nothing was happening... I was still upset about it.I wasn't even sure I showered up nicely... All I knew was that I hurriedly put on my clothes and rushed out of my room.
