Riley’s PovI laid back on the cold floor, finding it hard to sleep. Even though my mattress is all old and tattered, but, it’s better than. Sleeping on a cold floor.I couldn’t sleep as I kept tossing on the bare floor. This is really unbearable now. I sat up and looked at his face. He was asleep.A thought came to my mind. What if I just run away from him. Runaway from all this and go start my life elsewhere? I don’t care if I have been marked or not, I just want to live my life away from him. Away from everyone.Maybe, go over to the human world. It would be hard to find me there. No wolf crosses the border and so is every human. I still had my torn gown with me. I will get a new gown when I am able to get away from there.I stood up as gently as I could, not to wake him up. Before I leave, I need to take some money from him or it would be hard to survive it all alone out there. I tiptoed to his side, praying silently that he wouldn’t open his eyes and catch me in the process of s
Chapter twenty fiveRiley’s PovI fell to the ground, and groaned in pain.It was the second floor so it wasn’t that high. Lucky me. If I had fallen from a very high distance, that would have been even more terrible.I stood up and limped into the forest. I have to run as fast I can. I have to get back my freedom.I kept limping fast into the forest, going deeper, without knowing where I was going to.I stopped when I got close to a stream. That was the place I needed to be. The river leading to the human nations is in a far distance. I don’t know where I was, hut all I wanted was to find a way to the river.“Calm down Riley, you made this decision and you will have to go by it.” I told myself.I heard about many women, who always get scared at night alone and being in her situation, would make them really frightened, but, she was used to staying outside the comfort of a roof at midnight so she wasn’t cared at all.She looked around, thinking of a way to follow. She would have carried
Darius’’s PovI was in the battlefield. The battle between my pack and the rogues wolves. They all ran pass me with no one seeing me or trying to attack me. Wolves were killed. Blood everywhere. Dead bodies everywhere.The scene looks so familiar as if I have loved that time.I looked around, trying to figure out what was going on because no one was attacking me and it seems they weren’t seeing me.Then, I saw my father. He was fighting fearlessly. My father was in that battle field with me. He was dead, so what was he doing here? I made to go to him, but everywhere went dark for a moment. I was in another room. A very familiar room. My parent room.My father was injured and was been taken care of by the royal physician. He got that feel stab from the battle. Little me was beside him and also my mother, who was crying her eyes out as she watched my father struggled in pain.Not this time again. I don’t want to see that moment. It’s the most painfully moment in my life. The day my da
Riley’s Pov“This is unacceptable.” She said with a frown. I swallowed hard as she said that. She is the mother of the alpha, who I just found out his name to be Darius and she is frowning at me the first day we meet? Okay, this is really going to be bad for me.I looked down, thinking about how my life is about to turn out to be. I am been hated by all, including my mate and his mother.“Why would a mate to my son, who is the aloha of this great pack be dressed as a servant in a dress not worthy, of even the servants here?” she asked.I raised my head, nit expecting that from her.She smiled at me and shook her head. “You are too beautiful to wear a rag, beside, you are my son queen and my daughter in-law too.”Huh? Does this mean….. she accepts me? Daughter in-law.“I can’t believe my son lied to me. He will have to explain all these when he wakes up tomorrow morning.” She said and walked more close to me. “Oh dear, aren’t you supposed to be resting now? You should be asleep and not
Darius’s Pov“Drop your arrows down, son. I am not a target.” Mother said with a frown on her face.“Mother, I don’t know it was you. I apologize.” I said keeling the bow and arrow away.Okay, I was so frustrated that I pointed an arrow to my mother. I deserve every insult she will give me this moment.She walked forward and picked a bow. “Mother was are you doing out here? You should be asleep.” Been awake that time, could trigger her illness and that is not what I wanted that time. I can’t stand seeing her in pain all the time.“Well I couldn’t sleep and do you know why?”I shook my head.She picked an arrow and targeted a board. “She wolves are not allowed to join any battle or be a soldier or guard or even an archer. The wolves all believe that the women are meant to be brainy and have wisdom her family and not strength for war. Right?”“Yes mother. That have been going on for year. Beginning from our forefathers and people who created this wolf kingdoms.” I replied. “So, how does
Chapter twenty nineRiley’s PovThe next day….I woke up with my body sore because of where I laid. The cold and hard floor, did a lot to me. I stretched and looked at the door, and met the woman who came to the room, staring at me.I flinched and stood up.“You woke up late. That is failing one of the most important rules.” She said, not showing any expression in her face.I quickly stood up and bowed. “I apologize. I was so tired and overslept.”“That isn’t an excuse. You shouldn’t oversleep.” She said firmly. I nodded. I did woke up late because I slept late, but this time, it wouldn’t be so.She threw a box to me. “Get dressed, the Alpha’s mother, wants you in her room now.” She said and turned to leave.“Where will I take my bath?” I asked.She turned and looked at me, and after a minute without a word, she left.Seriously? I just need a place to bath and not a secret room to the pack secret.Will Darius let me have a bath in his bathroom? He is angry with me and might up yellin
Riley's PovDarius mother walked out with a smile on her face. "Come in." she said."Good morning ma'am. I will be leaving." Danny said and left.I went in with her and she closed the door behind me. Her room, even though it wasn't up to Darius room, was still decorated beautifully.I looked around admiring the room which she noticed and laughed."You don't have to admire my little room so much."I looked at her with a raised brow. Little room? If her room is little, then with the starts of my room, I am homeless. Even Sharon's room and madam room is nothing compared to her room."Let's go to my garden." she said and led me to her garden, which was right outside her room, using another door.The little garden was well kept and with beautiful flowers that produced a sweet fragrance. There was a table at the middle with two chairs and on the table, were a kettle and two ceramic made cups."Welcome to my garden. This is my favorite spot in this palace and I have been taking care of it si
Riley's PovA beautiful lady called mother. Mither turned and looked at her and I noticed the change of mood on mother's face.Who is she?I looked at her and noticed how pretty she is. Her skin is so flawless and fair. She has an hourglass figure that any man will die for. Her hair is so long and curly. She just have spent a lot of money, keeping that hair beautiful as it was. Her dress, it was a short body fitted light blue gown, revealing her perfect features. Her breasts are big and round and well fitted in her gown. Her features are all perfect and this got me a bit jealous. She is well endowed with beauty and everything a man wants, but me, well..... What will I say? I am so unfortunate and I am also not pretty as the other ladies I have seen are. Even the dress I was given, even though it wasn't rag as my clothes, it's too decent for an alpha Luna."Lita." mother called standing up. The lady smiled and that smile of hers could brighten up the sky.Her eyes fell on me and she ra
