Chapter 49Darius's PovMother walked into the room, with her hand behind hee back."I know you will be here when Danny returned without you." she said and sat on the single bed in the room."There is no place I will be at to calm my nerves.""But you should be by Riley side, she is your mate remember?""I know but some elders might still be in the palace and if they find me in your room, with Riley, they might get suspicious. Danny been there with her is better."I relaxed on the chair and closed my eyes. I am still a little bit weak and with this issue, my headache."You don't love this girl, do you?" Mother suddenly asked, forcing me to open my eyes and look at her. "How did you meet her? I want you to tell me everything.""Well mother, her scent drew me in. I was on my journey when I caught I scent.""So..... you are not happy about this because she is a servant?"I nodded. "The moon goddess hould have given me the perfect woman who would help led. Riley has nothing to offer to me
Matilda's PovShe looked behind me and saw Riley, laying on the bed. "Shouldn't she be in Danny's room? What is someone as low as she is doing in your room mother?" Someone as low? "Let's talk outside." I said and dragged her outside."Why here mother? We should be inside talking and not out here. She should be the one outside, besides she is Danny's mate.""That's enough Lita." I said, trying hard not to raise my voice. "She has life just like all of us and should be respected. She is a wolf just like you.""She is never like me. I am nothing like her and she is not even a step to my status."I couldn't believe she could say something like that. Looking at her felt as if I was looking at awhile different person or is she showing her true self now?"Mother...... What I mean is, this servant might have a disease that will be transmitted to you if you lie on that bed. I am only worried about you. I am worried that you might get sick because of her.""That's enough Lita. Why would you
Lita's PovDad voice echoed in the walls of the room when he yelled at me. He doesn't yells at me but now he did all because of that slave. This is surely not right."Shouldn't you show concern for the slave? You should apologize for what you did." Because of that slave? I will make sure to punish her for this. I bowed my head. "I apologize mother. Next time, I will be careful with what I say and do. I will also learn how to respect everyone. Be it a slave." I said, still with my head bowed."You shouldn't apologize to me. You insulted her and so you should apologize to her and not me." Matilda said.I raised my head as I looked at her in shock. The girl is unconscious. Why should I apologize to her when she didn't hear me? This is not fair. I have apologize to the one I offended already."But mother......" I wanted to protest but was stopped by my father."You should do as she say. Apologize to the girl when she wakes up. That is the right thing to do."Why is father supporting her
Chapter 52Darius's PovDanny and I looked at each other, not expecting that from the elders."I told you all that my mate is not ready yet. I will only announce her when she is ready so you don't have to tell me when to do so." I said. I wouldn't have them complicate the issue more."No one has to know about this. We will tell everyone that the news about Danny's mate is just a rumor. That is it and nothing more.Then, no one will have to say anything." I told them and stood up. They all stood up with their head bowed. "This is the last time this topic will be brought up again. I hope everyone hears this." I said and left with Danny walking behind me."Do you think that will stop this news from spreading further?" he asked me.I stopped walking and sighed, "I don't know too, but it should be able to make the rumors stop for now.""What about Riley? What will you do about her?"I looked at him."I mean, all these on her when she did nothing wrong to deserve it."I sighed wearily and lo
Darius's PovSeeing her weak and unable to do anything, made me angry. Thinking of what Max wanted to do to her as Danny told me, made me really mad. How dare he try to touch her? She is my mate and only I have the right to talk to her or even hold her.Danny bowed and left immediately, while mother kept staring at me in surprise. I know she is surprised with the sudden change of mood. I am also surprise at this sudden change of mine. But just imagining what he did to her that night and also Lita, who couldn't keep her mouth shut.Riley suddenly start coughing. I looked at her and noticed she was trying to breathe while coughing."Riley...." Mother called and went to her side, trying to do everything to calm her down.My heart seized beating for a while. Seeing her trying to breathe. I rushed to her and sat beside her, patting her back."Water mother." I said and mother quickly brought the cup of water and gave it to me. I made her drink a little and then, she tried to make her breath
Chapter Riley's PovThe next day.....I went back to the Alpha's room, even when mother told me to keep staying in her room until I feel better, but that will only mean me inconveniencing her.I feel better now. Really good. I was taken care of the alpha's mother and she instructed me not to do any work at all.When I got to the room, Darius wasn't in. I went out to the balcony and closed the door leading to it. I sat in the floor and opened the mother I took from mother's room.While flipping through it in mother's room, I saw a story that got me interested. The story about the humans.I flipped to the page and settled to read it. I tried reading it hut there were words that were too hard to read and that made it uninteresting. It only I went to school and know how to read, then I wouldn't be having a problem reading. I closed the book in disappointment."Not able to read?" a familiar voice asked behind me, but that made me flinch with my heart beating fast. I looked at him and pla
Chapter 5Riley's PovHe ask something to ask of me? What could that be? What could this grumpy alpha want to ask me? I was really curious but had to be patient."You were present during the meeting I'm the courtyard." he started and look at me. "I am never this kind to anyone or ask anyone for something." he said.What is going on? I am getting worried and scared now. He is saying the truth. He is never kind to anyone and is always grumpy."So now that I am his kind, I hope you take my request into consideration." he said and looked away."What is it, alpha? What is this request of yours?""It would be hard but you have to do it. No, you just do it as that will help me, my mother, Danny and even yourself."Is he trying to tell me to leave? He should just go ahead and tell me than making me wait this much with so much curiosity."I want you to pretend to be Danny's mate." she finally dropped the bombshell.In a way, I was kinda expecting him to say something like that following the ru
Chapter 56Riley's PovGood news? That is no way a good news. He told me to be Danny's mate when I am his."Don't get me wrong dear. This will be to our advantage and will be a great help to us." she said and sat down. "What I mean is that, we would use this to get him jealous.""Jealous? Would Darius ever get jealous? "She nodded. "Even though he doesn't show his emotions, he wouldn't be able to hide it when he gets jealous.""But mother, how are we going to get him jealous?""You will pretend to be the mate of Danny like he requested but then, you will pretend to get close to Danny. You will make it look as though you are going closer to Danny. He will surely regret his actions and he wouldn't be able to hide his feelings anymore." she said.That is a good idea, but, I feel that would be so much to do. I don't want to force myself on Darius. I want him to love me on his own and if he can't, then I will go my way and accept my fate."What is wrong?" She asked when she saw the look o
