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?

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.

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.

He fixed his gaze on Darius immediately, "how are you feeling now?" He said. Darius smiled, "I am all good now, Danny!
