Chapter 64Riley's PovA slap? I didn't expect that because if. push. I held my cheeks and looked at the one who slapped me. Well, I wasn't shocked for that. It is that Joana girl who was rude to me when we first met. Her two friends or minions, helped her up."You rat, you should watch where you are going to." she rose her voice, staring at me irked. Servants where beginning to gather around, because of the way she rose her voice at me. A moment to embarrass me.I stood up and adjusted my cloth. For slapping me, I don't feel sorry about pushing her to the floor. She deserves it."Oh, it's the special servant." she said mockingly and they all laughed. Oh wow. I came here to get some fun and I am having one right now. Someone is giving her attention to me and have caused others to leave whatever they are doing and come to me.Joana came closer to me and hijacked my gown collar. "You won't be shared today. Mitch isn't here to save you so your end will be today. I am the most feared pe
Riley's PovWe both turned and before us was a young handsome dude. Really handsome but not as the alpha. Well, you can't blame me for saying that. The aloha is really good looking.This young man had his hair reaching his shoulder length. Really long and dark brown. He stood before us and I noticed the smile on Jane's face. They must know each other.She hugged him with a big smile while he stroke her hair."I miss you so much elder brother. Thought wouldn't come back for me." Jane said, looking down so he wouldn't see his tear."I miss you too baby sister." he said and his eyes fell in me. "You must be a new friend of my little sister. It's nice meeting you." he said while I smiled to accept his greetings. From the way he dressed and stood, I could tell that he is part of the soldiers keeping this pack safe. "It's nice meeting you too.""I am Jonathan. But you can call me Jon as my friends calls me."I nodded and smiled. "I am Riley.""I haven't seen you around. New?" I nodded agai
Darius's PovShe should have female friends nit make friends. Don't she know she has a mate? Don't she know we are trying to convince the elders that she is Danny's not mine. What if she complicates issues by getting caught with that make friend of hers?"Is there something wrong sir?" she asked, looking at me curiously."Yes if course. Why would you think of making friends with a male wolf? What if the elders Dee you? How would we convince them that you are Danny's fake mate? Can't you control yourself for some months? After all this, then you can move around with any wolf you want." I said, angered by her action. She stared at me not saying anything.Now she is dumb? Does she want to out Danny and I in trouble with her action?"Alpha, you don't have to pick on me every time and say hurtful things to me." she suddenly said. I looked at her. She was saddened and tears gathered her eyes, threatening to fall down her cheeks."I did nothing wrong. I have never made any friends in my life
Chapter Riley's PovMy survival instinct kicked up and I managed to stand up to run. I ran as fast as I could, forgetting the pain on my arm and leg. Behind me was a lone wolf, running after me to devour me.Even my death will end up in the most pathetic way? How cruel."You can't do this to me universe. I did nothing wrong to you. My life mustn't end this way. Fine I get it. You hate me and made my entire life miserable but just you also make my death miserable? Do something." I cried as I kept running.I saw a tall tree and decided to hid behind the tree, without been seen by the wolf, who continued running till he was out of sight.He will surely come back if he doesn't see me. I know that certainly. I have to use this opportunity to hid and the only place I could think of was climbing the tree even though I know I have a high chance of getting caught. He is a werewolf. But then, if I hid there, I will be safe then.I hurried climbed the tree until I got to the top. I sat down and
Chapter 68 Riley's Pov Is this how my life will end? I will also die a miserable death. But my pain and sorrow will end. I wouldn't have to be called a servant anymore. I won't be insulted and looked down on because I will be gone. This world has nothing for me. It would have been better if I hadn't been born. I don't know the circumstances surrounding my birth, but I have a feeling that my birth caused a lot of pain for my parents, and that's why I was abandoned. I am nothing but a burden. I closed my eyes, waiting for my fate. There is no one to save or protect me this time. The moments when Darius saved me filled my head. Why did he save me all those times? He doesn't want me, but he keeps coming to my aid. This time would be different. I don't know where I am, and I am sure he doesn't, either. He only considers me a servant and would never waste his time coming to search for me. I am all alone now. No one would be here to witness my final days. The line of wolves was getting
Chapter Riley's PovMy eyes widened when his lips locked with mine. I wasn't expecting that and was taken a back. I was too shocked to react. Darius lip is on mine. Although this is not the first time we kissed but this time, if had a different feeling.I closed my eyes and kiss him back. He parted my lips and slide his tongue into my mouth. It felt as if I was in a different world as a rush of excitement flowed through my vein. 'Don't stop.' I cried out in my mind.I have never felt this way. There were butterflies in my stomach that made me feel I am flying high in the sky.I kissed him back trying to catch up with his pace. His hand moved to my cheek and slowly moved to the back of her head, deepening the kiss. Matilda's Pov"Where is the Alpha?" one of the elders asked again. It's been an hour and Darius is not back yet. He left the palace in a hurry and is not back. I am worried for my son and Riley. Did something happened to her? Is that why he is not back yet?"They are all
Riley's PovBack to when we were still at the forest. While still on our invading mission of the lips, Darius suddenly pulled away and moved back. He looked at me and stood up. I was taken aback by his sudden reaction."All what happened here is a mistake so don't take it as something special." he said."What are you talking about?""I was just in the mood and you are the only one available."Okay..... what am I? A slut? That hits differently. He just kissed me and said it's because I was the only one available m That is way out of line."Let's get out of here. I am late. I left my subjects just to come find you because my mother made me do so. Don't get any wrong ideas. My decision still stands." he added.Why am I not saying anything? I should ask about this. I should ask why he is treating me this way but I am silent like a controlled little girl. No words were coming out of my mouth. I am screwed."We should leave for the sake of my mother. If you truly have regards for get, then
Chapter 71"Father, if the sun is a king and the moon is a queen, why do the sun leave the night for his queen? Isn't he supposed to rule both at day and at night as the king?" Little Darius asked, looking up at the sky as he was seated between his father's legs.His father laughed and stroke his head. "When we were all made, the creator instructed every males on earth to get a female to be their helper and life partner. The sun also obeyed that instruction. If he rules both at day and night, he will quickly be worn out and everyone on earth would be affected by that decision. So, the moon helps him at night.""So the sun is obedience.""Yes son, very obedience."Little Darius nodded his head. Even though he was still a kid, he loves observing and knowing everything he finds strange or unusual. He was a bright kid and loves questioning. This made his father and the elders proud and relaxed that he will be a very competent leader and will take the pack and wolves nation to a next level
“What am I going to do?” she silently mumbled to herself as she frantically tried to come up with a plan to avoid facing her own wrath. All of a sudden, she felt a firm grasp upon her arm, pulling her back behind the safety of a pillar near a nearby window, away from prying eyes. She felt relieved and surprised – until she realized who exactly had grabbed her and whom she recognized.. Her heart sank slightly. Of course. Why wouldn’t it? It was Rachel. She had heard rumors that there was a consummated marriage between Darius and Rachel after her mating ritual to Darius. Apparently she’d had no intention of marrying either of them, much less Darius, but Rachel had always loved Darius anyway. Now, it seemed like they were having problems reconciling their differences over Darius. That didn’t matter anymore though, she supposed. Rachel hadn’t shown herself to be happy or supportive during Darius’ mating ritual, which was why she’d refused to speak to him when she’d returned
For the longest time, she hadn’t even thought about whether or not her feelings were reciprocated. To hear such heartfelt reassurances was definitely overwhelming…but what was she supposed to tell him? That she wasn’t interested in anyone right now, even though he was the one person she most desired to spend time with? How could she possibly confess something like that without sounding like she was lying to him? And yet…how could she convince him otherwise? Couldn’t he tell she was just playing along? Hadn’t she been doing the exact same thing? Before she could respond, a knock came to her door, effectively cutting short their discussion. Both of them turned to find a servant standing outside her chamber door. “Excuse me Your Highness, but your chambers are ready,” the servant informed her politely. “Please follow me.” Darius glanced in her direction briefly before nodding his consent. Once the servant had withdrawn, he released Riley’s hand and made his way inside his room w
Darius’s expression hardened once again, and he motioned towards the door. “Go to your chambers,” he instructed, his voice distant. “We’ll talk more later. But for now, I suggest you start by apologizing to the guard at the door for your behavior.” Feeling a mixture of relief and apprehension, Riley nodded and stood up, her legs feeling weak beneath her. She made her way towards the door, aware of the lingering gazes from the pack members around her. Whispers filled the air as she passed by, and she couldn’t help but feel the weight of their judgment. As Riley approached the guard at the door, she noticed the hesitance in his eyes. He seemed wary, as if unsure of how to react to her presence. She mustered up a small smile and spoke softly, trying to convey her sincerity. “I’m sorry for my actions,” she said, her voice filled with remorse. “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.” The guard’s gaze softened slightly, but there was still a hint of caution. “Just don’t let it happen
Finding Clyde.Jason:Clarissa’s resilience was the strongest I had ever come across, to apologize for an offense she had it committed, to hold back her anger and pain as though she too did not need to be taken care of. She was in so much by the conversation concerning Clyde’s pack, It worse obvious that we were digging up old wounds that had clearly not healed. Maybe that was why she was distant from me, and ask why she channeled her pain into trying to build a family for the lost ones like her. She inspired me so much, and I felt her pains so much that I wanted to pull her into my arms and ease all the pain away with my warm embrace, but I knew I could not do that, so I just watched.Apart from the stories they told, I was also very concerned about the whereabouts of Clyde. There’s no how he would have survived the dungeon for that long alone, without food, water. We had brought back all the war prisoners with us and we were slowly planning to begin a plan for a bigger and better p
Darius blushed furiously, averting his gaze. “Uh, yeah. Well, um,” he stumbled and cleared his throat nervously. “You see, I just…uh,” he struggled to find words as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “What I mean to say is…um…” he muttered, glancing back up at her. His pale cheeks flushed even deeper red as his eyes met hers. “Well, um, I’m just…hmm…I guess I like talking to you.” His face grew impossibly more crimson as he spoke, his blush becoming nearly unbearable as he attempted to justify himself. Riley giggled, enjoying the way he floundered. “Well, Dai, how come you never spend time with me?” I asked. “ I’m busy” he abruptly replied her. “Besides, why do you care anyway?” Riley’s eyes narrowed as she gazed sternly at him. “I know what kind of life you lead,” she told him bluntly. “We’re not really friends, are we? You never ask for my advice or my help. In fact, your attitude towards me has always been completely hostile.” A frown m
She was no stranger to the hurt she felt after each rejection. Her heart ached as she realized that Darius didn’t feel the same. She smiled as she gazed at Darius’s beautiful blue eyes, a smile so tender that Darius felt his heart tighten. ‘No, it isn’t you.’ She thought with a bitter laugh. ‘How could he possibly return my love if he cannot bear the burden of keeping secrets?’ She glanced away. ‘Perhaps I should just leave him and live out the rest of my life alone.’ Her voice cracked slightly, as though her resolve was crumbling. As tears brimmed in her eyes, she fought the urge to cry out, ‘I’ve lost everything! Why should he care? What does he see in me? A sudden, sharp pain erupted in her chest, as if a dagger had pierced it. She gasped sharply as she doubled over in agony, clutching her injured heart. It felt as though someone had stabbed her repeatedly, rendering her unable to breathe or move. Pain shot through her entire torso, threatening to ri
“Darius, I have received some distressing news,” the elder began, his voice laced with concern. “Your father’s sudden withdrawal has put our community in a precarious position. We have made commitments to Rachel’s family, and we cannot afford to break them.” Darius’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “What do you mean, commitments? I thought my marriage to Rachel was already arranged.” The elder sighed, his gaze fixed on Darius. “Yes, it was. But your father’s decision has created a complicated situation. We need to salvage the agreements and ensure the stability of our community. There is an alternative plan we have devised.” Darius leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. “What is this alternative plan?” The elder’s voice dropped to a hushed tone. “We can arrange a consummated marriage for you with Rachel, in secret. This way, we fulfill our obligations to her family while maintaining the appearance of your marriage with Riley, as was originally planned.”
She needed someone who would guide her. Someone who would help her. Her head snapped upright suddenly as a loud, deafening sound filled the air. The noise pierced her ears, making her wince. The sound continued to grow louder and louder, shaking her whole being, until it became impossible for her to hear anything else except for the terrible shrieking noise that was echoing around her and reverberating inside of her skull. Suddenly it stopped, leaving a painful emptiness in its wake, as she lay on her side, panting heavily. She opened her eyes wide and stared blankly into space, her hands covering her ears. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she struggled to breathe. She looked up, searching blindly for the source of the sounds; the sudden silence made her panic and she screamed for help. She waited for several minutes, trying to make sense of the events surrounding her, trying to grasp what was happening. Suddenly she realised that a door had creaked open somewh
She pressed a soft kiss against his lips. “Me too.” She whispered. He turned his body so they were lying on their sides facing each other, mirroring each other’s position. He gazed down at her with pure adoration in his deep brown eyes. “I love you,” he whispered. She raised herself up on her elbow, reaching out and stroking his stubbly chin with her finger. “I love you, too.” Their gaze locked into each other, feeling the same overwhelming emotion. They both leaned forward until their lips were only millimetres apart. Rachel’ eyes widened as he began to lean towards her, pressing their bodies together. Their lips met in slow motion as their tongues mingled together in an intense, sensual embrace. As their lips parted they remained connected as they savoured the moment, breathing heavily. He moved his arms underneath her bottom and picked her up, carrying her over to the bed and laying her down gently. She s
