XAVIER'S POV"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a mate named Crystal Thorne, " I paused, sucking in a deep breath as I allowed my gaze to travel to the eager crowd, "Although she's an omega and was once a slave, I claimed her as my mate because I saw a potential in her. "Because I what? Did you see a potential? You got to be kidding me! I quickly pressed my lips together as I stifled a chuckle. That was a good joke. I wasn't exactly sure that I had claimed Crystal Thorne as my mate because I cared enough to look out for her potential. Well, aside from the video that was in my possession, she was an intriguing subject. But I was never really into her or anything. I had to do what I could for the throne. There was no way in hell I would allow my half-brother, Leo to get the upper hand here. Now that he was without a mate after rejecting Crystal, I had to swoop in and use that to my advantage. "Potential?" Luna Aurora pressed with curiosity knitting at her brows as she bored he

XAVIER'S POVMy eyes must be playing a trick on me."I'm present." She announced as she carefully made her way to the stage with the help of a maid. The crowd was mesmerised by her beauty as they gawked at her as she walked carefully to the stage.She wore a classic royal blue dress with a transparent floral design at the hem and the back of the dress that slightly exposed her back. The sassy blue shade was both traditional and Victorian-inspired, creating a perfect balance between elegance and boldness. The dress narrowed around her waist, snatching her small waist perfectly before it expanded and fell to the ground, hiding her feet.Her brown dark hair was pulled up, and some wayward strands of her hair spilled out, enhancing the mild smoky makeup she swore. The clipped silver earrings and necklace she wore accentuated her ash-coloured pupils. Her full crimson lips glistened with lip gloss. Her cheeks flushed, and her full long lashes fluttered with emabrrsmemet as she approached.

CRYSTAL'S POV"You need to look hot, Crystal. Dress to impress...make him beg for your attention. And thank me later." Emily's words rang through my head again and at once my lips quivered.After she made that suggestion, something inside of me spurred me on. And I knew that deep down I had to act fast and make use of the function as an opportunity. Phew! Trust me I was scared and shy as fuck! I wasn't exactly sure if showing up at the function unannounced was worth it or if I would likely get myself into trouble. Plus, I knew that the likes of Alicia and Luna Rachael and of course, Leo were going to be present. And yet...I had to remind myself vigorously that I needed to show up now. What was comforting me was the fact that I was going to meet Xavier and that he would, for the first time, see me thoughtfully dressed. I put in so much effort to look like this. While Emily dressed me at my inner chambers, my thoughts had been saturated by one man who had lately been my centre of

CRYSTAL'S POV"I don't mean to dig up the ugly past, but do you remember all those hurtful words that Alicia Evans used to tell us when she bullied us?"Alicia Evans was a sly and calculating bitch. The Queen of Bully, as some may call her, derived great joy from making other people's lives miserable. Bullying people lower in rank than hers was a part-time hobby. As the daughter of an Alpha of a neighbouring Pack, she was held with care and respect. But she only reciprocated that respect to people on par or higher than her in rank. Whereas, the likes of us, the omegas, and worst of all, slaves were not even regarded as humans. She looked down on us with disdain and disgust and would not even hesitate to make our lives a living hell.It was on one of these occasions that she had blatantly insulted Emily. Since then, Emily had never looked at herself the same; she had hated herself so much that she attempted suicide on multiple occasions: "Emily is your name is that right?" Alicia's br

XAVIER'S POVIt has roughly been almost an hour of intense questioning. I was sure by now that the guests were really tired. Could we just carry on with the party already and call it a night? I understood that I wanted to fight my demons, but my knees were beginning to buckle, and I just wanted to go to bed already. I was feeling extremely drowsy. Yeah... as if sleeping right away was on my agenda for the night. I gulped as her familiar floral scent wafted through the air and tingled my nostrils. Instantly, an image of her pale body beneath mine flashed in my mind.I gritted out as my dick cramped in my pants again.Shit! What was her motive for making me react like this? Why was my body suddenly attuned to hers? Was it because of the sexy, elegant blue dress she was clad in? Or her glistening lips? Or the mild makeup that blushed her cheeks? Or the way she fluttered her long, thick lashes? Or the way she pouted her full crimson lips?fuck! Now that I was close to her, I could ca

LEO'S POVXavier Fernández, my half-older brother whom I detested with so much passion and everything within me, was against whatever he stood for. When was he going to stop taking everything that belonged to me? Crystal Thorne was mine. I got to her first so why the fuck must it be a contest as to who got her first?Granted, I fucking rejected her. I mean, it wasn't my fault, right? Who in their right senses would have thought that Crystal Thorne, an Omega and who was once a slave, would be Xavier's mate? An Alpha of the revered Blood Moon Pack at that?! How was that possible?Initially, the plan was to exterminate Crystal Thorne from the face of the earth after the unprecedented incident on the morning of the royal ball; when I was making out with her and Alicia had taken the video. We could have used that video to our advantage and used Crystal as our puppet but Xavier, without warning, came into the picture, and now everything was ruined.He made quite the show today as well. He

LEO'S POV "Even so, I couldn't care less. That doesn't mean she belongs to this pack, Ivan. You seemed to be in support of her, but why is that so?" My mother spat as her eyes gleamed with anger.Luna Aurora rolled her eyes as she puffed out an exasperated sigh.Elder Ivan shook his head as if he was embarrassed on my mother's behalf."Please, Luna Rachael, I'm not in the mood for one of your sentimental rants this night. Might I remind you that you singlehandedly carried out all the preparations for this function without consulting me first, knowing fully well that I was the leader of the elders' Council? Rather, you disrespected me, which in turn means disrespecting the entire Blood Moon Pack. Your actions bode consequences, Luna Rachael." He berated firmly as he fixed his intense gaze on my mother.Luna Rachael scoffed and waved him off."You dare not speak to you in that manner, Ivan! I am the Luna of the revered Blood Moon Pack, and you will pay me some respects!" She squealed

CRYSTAL'S POVAfter Luna Rachael made the announcement, some guests started exiting the hall while some remained, eating and drinking. Luna Aurora approached us and this was the first time I was seeing her up close.Her silky shiny black hair riddled with strands of white hair made her look uniquely beautiful. Her eyes gleamed with interest as she studied me."Looking at you closely, I can see why Xavier was tempted to choose an Omega as his mate." She said with an appreciative smile.I gulped as I glanced to my side to meet the intense gaze of his deep brown eyes staring right back at me. I quickly averted my gaze as my heart hammered against my chest at a rapid rate, causing my cheeks to heat."Thank you for your kind words, Luna Aurora," I muttered. I didn't know how to react to compliments very well. We were regarded as slaves and tools after all. I hadn't a clue what to say. I hope I said the right word.She chuckled."You're welcome, Crystal." She said warmly."Elder Ivan, c

LEO'S POVOh shit! This wasn't good! Crystal was going to be kidnapped. What if I was already too late. I didn't exactly hear everything that they said. But I knew something was off, and I was already too late by the time I got to Xavier's chambers. I came just in time to see two men clad in black clothes and a mask covering their faces, carrying Crystal after drugging her. They put her in a horse-drawn carriage.I tried to follow the carriage as discreetly as I could until they stopped at a cavern beneath a high mountain.Damn it, but even if I wanted to rescue her , I was outnumbered.There was no way I could make it at this rare. I would just end up getting myself killed.Then what do I do at this rate? This was a matter of life and death. Crystal was in dire danger. My mother and crazy girlfriend had completely gone bonkers! I needed to get Crystal out of there as fast as possible before things got out of hand.I had no idea what exactly the two women wanted to do to Crystal. H

CRYSTAL'S POV It's has been a lonely evening....a lonely day, in fact. Xavier was hardly around. He had been very busy with having ceaseless meetings with his uncle, and tonight, he had mentioned earlier that he won't be available until later in the night or early in the morning so I shouldn't wait up for him.I puffed out a deep sigh. He had been very busy these past few weeks. I heard the coronation was drawing to a close. No wonder the discreet meetings with his uncle have risen. He had been working so hard with little time to rest. I hoped he was doing okay? I had insisted earlier that he took today's off, but he wouldn't listen.I slid out of bed and headed to the balcony for the view and to get some fresh air. Maybe that would help me relax and sleep better. Lately, I've been finding it somewhat hard to fall asleep easier.I also wonder if Martin was doing alright ever since he went exiled. At any rate, it was way better than remaining here. Alicia would have made life a livi

ALICIA'S POV Shit! Shit! Shit! As if things couldn't get any worse than it already was!Three days had passed, and I didn't hear a single word from Martin anymore. I had instructed Lucas to check on him in his quarters, but he was nowhere to be found. He didn't even report to work the following morning. So I had Lucas go to his bakcksmith shop discreetly to find out if he was there. But he wasn't....infact, until now we had no idea where he would have run off to.It's been a week and not a single word. What could have happened? If he had exposed my plans to Crystal or Xavier, I would have known by now. But something was strange. What did Martin do? He probably ran off somewhere. He was a spy, after all. It was easier for him to adapt.But damn it! I didn't expect my plans to be ruined. I invested so much into this, and yet I have nothing to show for it! What the hell was happening?! Did Crystal do or say to him? What really went down? I wouldn't be able to know when she tells me

CRYSTAL'S POVI was such a fool! How come I didn't realise that Alicia had been playing a trick on me all these while?! Xavier and Emily, my best friend, warned me, and yet I didn't listen because I wanted to give Alicia the benefit of the doubt for once. I had hoped that something good was going to come out of our friendship after she supposedly rescued me that day. Rescued? But come to think of it though...now that Martin had exposed the truth, what if Emily had been right that the whole idea about Alicia randomly showing up that day and most especially in the nick of time to save me, sounded so thought out and planned. What if Alicia also had a hand in that as well? She had insisted that Xavier get me a new bodyguard because she had been plotting to bring one here herself, which was Martin. How come I didn't see that coming?! I was so blinded to the fact that Alicia was turning a new leaf and wanted the best for me. What a fool I had been! Now, thanks to the moon goddess for swa

MARTIN'S POV A video?! Why does this sound so familiar. "What?! What did Leo do to you if you don't mind my asking? Did he-""No!" She blurted out before I could finish. I didn't want to complete that statement in the first place, silently hoping it wasn't true ."No, he didn't! I'm glad he didn't." She said shakily, and I couldn't help but feel the pain seared through my chest, watching how hurt she looked.She must have been through a lot. I wondered what really went down that day...Thankfully, Leo didn't rape her as I thought. She paused and sucked in several deep breaths before she continued:"He tried to have sex with me but I'm glad it didn't go through....so a video was made and I was threatened that the video would go public if I didn't do as I was told. I had no choice. Before I could gather my thoughts together, I ran out. I was mortified, broken, and scared to death. "She paused as she bit her bottom lip frantically before she continued again."I wanted to run away an

MARTIN'S POV I resumed work the following day as usual, but this time, it was different. The emotions writhing inside of me were relentless. What do I do? I was restless, and I couldn't even concentrate on my job.I think the moment of truth was finally here, and for the first time, I was going to follow my heart to hell with the consequences. I would rather voice out the truth that will set me free than bottling up all these lies and guilt nibbling at me steadily.As usual, we met for her morning run, and when we slowed down for a break, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to tell her the truth. At this rate, what was even the point of hiding the truth?! It was utterly useless because I quit! I wouldn't stand by, fold my hands, and watch as an innocent, young lady's life was torn apart, and I had a hand in her destruction. No! I wouldn't be able to live with myself after that. I would blame myself for as long as i lived! So instead, why didn't I try to make things right?G

MARTIN'S POV I sucked in a deep breath as I swallowed.She arched her brows diametrically at me as she peered up at me, eyeing me closely.I cleared my throat."What brings you to this crappy side of the royal palace. It was rare seeing you here at this hour. This place doesn't suit your fancy, my lady." I said, with a sly smile curling up at the corner of my lips with an intent to taut her.She rolled her eyes as she moaned in exasperation."Oh for fuck's sake, Xavier drop the stupid formalities and step aside!" My eyes widened slightly as curiosity creased my brows.Don't tell me she was planning to step inside my shithole of a room!"Um...what on earth are you planning to do, Alicia?" I dipped lower as I whispered fiercely, looking both ways to ensure that no one was within earshot and in sight.She waved me off and pushed past me as she entered my tiny room. But the good part was that she didn't have to duck her head like me.I puffed out a deep sigh of resignation. There was

MARTIN'S POV Days passed by like a blur and then weeks and before I realised what was happening, two months had gone by. And in all of those times, a day didn't pass without my mind being preoccupied by the thoughts of Crystal Thorne, the lady whom I served under. The lady I had sworn to protect with my life. And you know what? I would gladly lay down my life for her. No one deserved that, but Crystal Thorne! Where on earth has she been all these while?! If only I had been a little earlier, we could have ended up together. Hopefully..... Well, at least, she wouldn't have had the opportunity of even crossing paths with Alpha Xavier Fernández. If only I had come into her life earlier. Maybe she didn't have to suffer. We could have run off somewhere and started a new life as a couple who shared a somewhat similar past. But was it too late?Maybe it wasn't too late after all.... how else could the both of us have met anyway?! Crystal Thorne had been locked up within the four walls of t

MARTIN'S POV"I'm sorry once again, Crystal," I said again when we were outside alone and after we had jogged around the open fields of the royal palace.She shook her head frantically."It alright, Martin. It is fine. I understand that you're still trying to find your feet," she paused as she shot me a rueful smile."You know, I used to be like you when I first started my job. I was confused and scared. I wasn't sure about what to do. I was so clueless like a fawn parted from its mother."I smiled warmly at her as I listened to her.I couldn't help but admire her beauty. She was indeed breathtaking. On top of that, she was a strong young lady who had survived a lot. I owe her some respect for that!"Thank you for understanding, Crystal," I said gently, shooting her a wide grin.She was not only empathetic to my plight, she was gentle and nice towards me.I wish to know more about her, and it had been eating deep at me. The curiosity to know what lies in the deepest recess of her he
