Loraine’s PovI watched them look at me with disgust and I could tell from the way they were looking at me what kind of things they were thinking about.Especially Pauline and Penelope, who were clearly telling me that I don’t deserve and not fit to be the Alpha King’s mate. No matter what kind of gaze they would look at me, that doesn’t change the fact that I am the Alpha King’s mate.“Come on, let’s start and end this.” Pauline calmly says while looking at the shaman, urging her to do what her task is.The shaman smiled and then before she opened her eyes, she spoke. “Just some pre-cautions that I would like to say before we begin, it’s not that I have always succeeded since the first time I succeeded, the two couples who had broken off their marks had gone mad. One became delirious and became intellectually challenged, while the other one was sick to the point that its body was like a skeleton.”I couldn’t help but shiver at her words. Even grandma’s eyes were shaking, and she coul
Loraine’s PovI gritted my teeth and endured the churning feeling around my stomach. I could still taste the iron in my mouth and despite that my head was throbbing as if it was pulsating, I still managed to push through without looking back.‘Loraine, come back!’ I could hear the cold voice that the Alpha King had commanded, talking to me using a mind-link, but I didn’t care about it nor listen to him.I walked even faster and didn’t look back at him despite the burning sensation throughout my body. Hah, it really seemed that the larger the mark is, the more one would suffer if they rejected their fated partner. Now, it would be I who would suffer from it.But despite that I suffered from it, I don’t regret what I did.When I went back to the maid’s quarter, I could feel the gaze as they gazed at me but the pain that I felt made me not care about it.“Loraine, what happened to you?!” It was none other than Anna who asked as she guided me back to my room after seeing that I was alread
Loraine’s Pov“Is that all that you wanted to say to me?” I asked, while looking at the shaman.The shaman smiled and shook his head. “Child, if you keep on running away from fate, it won’t do you any good. If you are suffering right now from rejecting the bond you have with your mate, trust me, you will feel worse later. It is the same as the moon goddess punishing you for rejecting what she had prepared for you.”I couldn’t help but laugh at her words. So, she was here just to convince me to undo the rejection. But no matter how much I would suffer; I had already rejected him and there is no need for me to take back the words that I uttered right in front of the Alpha King and his loved ones.If I did undo my rejection, if I took back what I had said earlier, how is it different from eating my own words?Prideful? No. I just want to get out of a place that doesn’t serve me.I looked at the shaman and let out a mocking laugh. “You haven’t seen the way that they look at me earlier. Yo
Loraine’s PovI gritted my teeth, and hardly open eyes, I glared at him, who really went inside the window as I instructed him to do instead of making a scene by breaking my door. Who knows what others might say about me again? It’s not just throwing rotten eggs at me, but also throwing darts and knives.Damn it! Just what the hell does he want from me? My body? I don’t have anything to offer him other than my body.If I gave him my body, would he leave me alone after tasting it?Fuck. What the hell am I thinking right now? The pain rushing through my body made me think of such things.“Just what the hell do you want from me, Aaron?” I helplessly said while there were some traces of tiredness in my voice.Aaron’s figure appeared in front of me and he was holding a paperbag. He didn’t say anything and got something from his paperbag.I looked at him who unscrewed the small bottle that had a suspicious color, and he gave it to me.“Are you planning to kill me?” I asked while sneering at
THIRD PERSON’S POVAfter making sure that Loraine had finally slept peacefully, and it seemed that the medicine had kicked in, Aaron let out a sigh of relief and his hand reached out, caressing Loraine’s face before he stood up.Before he left, he took one glance at Loraine and made sure that she wasn’t suffering from the pain right then.Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart that Loraine had rejected him as his mate, he felt relief that it really didn’t have an effect, especially that his bond with Loraine was too strong, and the mark on his back was proof of it.Loraine belongs to him.His gaze deepened and darkened. “It seems that I have to start cleaning the mess that I made.”He looked at Loraine again, slightly bent down and brushed his lips against hers as he softly whispered in her ears, “Just wait for me, okay? I will soon clean up all the mess that I made and won’t ever think of entertaining another man other than me.”After that, he left Loraine’s room and went back t

Loraine’s PovIn the middle of the night, I couldn’t help but furrow, especially as I felt there was something wrong in my surroundings. More like I had become sensitive to the presence of a living being and I couldn’t properly sleep because I was tired from the laborious work as a servant here in this pack, plus the fact that I felt someone was watching me.However, I couldn’t sense a murderous intent coming from this person, so my body was on alert, ready to attack this person if he emitted even a dust of murderous intent.Damn it, I really wanted to sleep but if I, didn’t open my eyes right now and let this person stare at me, he might burn a hole in my body.“Just what do you want?” I hoarsely asked with my eyes closed.I sensed that man slowly enter my room through the window, and just by the way he walked towards my direction, I could already guess who it was, so I didn’t bother to open my eyes to see him.“Who was it?” He coldly asked, and I felt the heaviness on my bed.I felt
Loraine’s PovI stretched my body as soon as I woke up. When I looked at the clock, it was already one in the afternoon, making me freeze.Damn it! So that’s why the quality of my sleep was good, and I felt refreshed all over because it was already late!Ahhh! My work!I hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower and do all my morning routine before I went out to ask for the head maid, sorry.While I was walking to find her, I encountered my fellow maids… well, it wasn’t that surprising given that they also worked here, so of course, no matter where I went, if I were there in the pack, I would see them and hear their mocks.“Woah, did you oversleep, or did you run away from your responsibilities again?” It was Tasha, the one who loved to make fun of me.I let out a heavy sigh and scratched the back of my head as I looked at her with pity without saying anything, making her tremble from anger and her cheeks reddening.“What the hell are you looking at me like you for?!” She angril
