A week later... RILEY'S POV I closed my eyes and breathed deeply in and out. The cool wind blew on my face, and that made me lift the corners of my lips. It's the day before the full moon, and the moon goddess seems to shine on us on this day. The morning was cool, and the view of the sky from the window was really beautiful. Just a few hours, and I will be transforming into my wolf form for the first time. I opened my eyes and sighed deeply. It's been a week since Darius left the park for a trip. The day he kissed me again, there was a sudden explosion in the sky for the first time, and that got us all shocked. It is definitely the work of humans. They produce weapons like that. explosives and all. Darius had to leave to go find out what was happening, and it's been a week already since they left. He sent some letters to his mother about his well-being so she wouldn't worry, and in a few of those letters, he also told me not to worry about him. That might seem like just a norma
Riley's PovThe council of elders were all gathered in the courtyard. Mother was also present and so was Danny, Darius and Sharon. The major discussion of the meeting is about Sharon who Darius brought in.I still couldn't believe what he said about Sharon being his wife. It can't be Sharon of all people."Alpha, don't mind me if I ask this but, is she truly the mate you found? How did this all happened and when did you get married?" one of the elders asked. It is obvious all of us are confused and in disbelief of the whole matter.Darius placed his hands on hers and smiled. Seeing that gesture made my heart to skip a beat."Yes. She is my mate." he replied.The world around me froze and everything seems to come to a stop as I fixed my eyes on them. what is going on? what happened to Darius? this must be her manipulation. I thought Darius was finally falling for me before he left. I learnt all the books I can so that he will get impressed with me and change his mind about marrying som
Author's PovHe ignored her and went ahead but she went after him, asking him about his mate while running behind him.Darius said nothing until they got to his room. "Enough of these questions. I don't want to answer you right now. I need to rest and you need to rest too." he said and completely ignored her. He went to the bathroom and she made to follow him but he banged the door at her face. She silently went back and her kids went back to the lady she had see in the courtyard.She lady who looks so much like the servant Riley. She remembers her face and doubted she would ever be in Darius palace. There is no way that girl would leave in the palace. No way. She was dead. They were told she died cause of her bruises so it can't be her.She was in disbelief that Riley was still alive. She became curious to why the lady she saw looks so much like Riley. There must be something wrong somewhere.She sat on the bed and shoved the thought away. She can't keep thinking about the lady whe
RILEY'S POVI tried opening my eyes but they felt so heavy and were sore. I opened my eyes slightly and blinked twice before trying to open it fully. My body felt so weak snd my head hurt so badly. I struggled sat up but with my hand on my forehead. What the hell happened to me? I looked around and noticed I was in mother's room. The last thing I remembered was that I was in Danny's room and I was there because of what Darius did. Mother also came into the room and everything suddenly blacked out. I went unconscious.The scene of when Darius came back with Sharon, filled my memory and I couldn't help the tears that fell down my cheeks. Why does he have to do that today of all days? I have prepared specially for him. I can still get over the fact that he did that knowing I am his mate. He still hates me after all.What was I thinking? That he will ever live me? I am so dumb and foolish. Darius is the last person to grate that little wish of the love to me.Now that he brought in his
Sharon rushed to Darius and stood by his side. "Whoever this Riley is, you should be worried about her. She will surely come back." she said locking her arms around his but he annoyingly pulled his hand away and left, leaving her behind.Sharon frowned and turned to face Matilda, but she also turned and left along with Danny."Who is this Riley? She must have won everyone's heart." she muttered snd her mind went to the servant Riley who she had punished so badly, but she shook it off and waved the thought away."I am just new here so I don't expect anyone to like me anyway. They will surely oils me when they get to know more better." she said, smiling to herself.DARIUS'S POVRiley left? I can't believe this. How she leave? Why did she leave without getting an explanation from me. Everything that happened is not fault. The door opened bringing my attention to it. Danny walked in and closed the door behind him."What do you want? To also taunt me again for being foolish and marrying s
DARIUS'S POVThe celebration was still going on. Those who reached the age of eighteen transformed and were also celebrating. The kingdom was filled with happiness that night.Many found their true love and some, were just trying to enjoy the night.I wish Riley was here to see all this. I bet she will be so happy and even join in the celebration. "My lord it is time for you speech." Bruno whispered into my ear.I nodded and stood up, raising my hand up to stop the music and drumming. Seeing my hand up, the musicians stopped singing and everyone stopped dancing and concentrated on me."It's such a happy hour for the people of this kingdom. It is the moment many found their mates, and many had their first transformation. The time of the year that is our favorite." I said out loud and the crowd cheered and clapped their hands. "To the newly transformed werewolves, welcome to a new life." They all clasped and cheered again. "To the newfound lovers, my your love last till eternity." They
Darius's PovShe just fell over the window, down to the cliff. My whole body went into shock. I couldn't move as I stared at the window. I just be dreaming. Riley didn't fall before my eyes. It just be a dream.The whole world seems to shut down before my very eyes that moment. I couldn't hear anything that moment and my whole body stopped functioning."Riley!!!" Mother's cry brought me out of my shock state.As if compelled to move by her voice, I ran to the window and looked down. There was no sign of her."Riley!!" I cried out as loud as I could. I can't searching down the cliff which was foggy with my eyes, but it was of no use cause of the fog that covered the lower part of the cliff.Mother fell to the ground beside me and cried out loud. No, this can't be. This can't be happening. Not again. This is the second time the world will take someone precious away from me, right before my very eyes.I knelt down and allowed my tears to flow down. My heart was tightened and it felt as i
MATILDA'S POVThree months later......I walked into Darius's room and knocked on the door. After a few knocks, Sharon's opened the door."Mother? You don't have to knock. It is your son's room remember?" I sighed heavily and stretched my neck to look in. "How is he doing now?"Sharon sighed heavily and opened the door completely. "My lord, your mother is here to see you." she said out loud.I looked at her with a frown and looked in. I could see his shadow approaching. I don't want to see him yet, why does she have to call him out?"Mother?" Darius called when he walked out. He stared at me for a moment and frowned. "What do you want?"It's been three months, three months since I lost my son and also Riley. Things changed after that moment. I was lost and almost died seeing my son's lifeless body until Sharon came around and told me that there was a solution. I accepted her help and he was miraculously brought back to life. I was grateful and so had no choice but to accept Sharon, t
