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.

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.

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
The attention of Sharon and Darius was drawn immediately. As they focused, Danny stepped in.'Its Danny,' Sharon retorted. Her mind becomes so calm even though she wasn't expecting him."I can see you both are getting along well," with a smile on Danny's cheeks he said.Those words gently sift into Sharon's ears. She smiled at him, "why won't we get along so well, Danny! He needs more attention now," she melted those words out of her lips like she cared that much.Danny nodded his head with a gentle sigh. He fixed his gaze on Darius immediately, "how are you feeling now?" He said. Darius smiled, "I am all good now, Danny! Although I feel a bit heavy," he spelt out those words gently as he tried to stretch himself.'Oh!' Sharon's voice gently penetrated a little into the atmosphere. She saw he wanted to stretch, as such, she moved farther from him a bit giving him a good license to stretch all he wants.With Sharon's gesture, Darius understood how unpalatable what he just did was, fix
Orion lifted Skyler up in his arms, careful not to jostle her injured leg. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her head resting on his shoulder. They quickly hurried out of the shed and into the woods."Are you okay?" he asked, looking down at her.Skyler nodded, a little surprised at how quickly he was moving. "I'm fine," she said, "Just a little tired."Orion nodded, a look of concern etched on his face. "We need to get you healed as soon as possible," he said.Skyler furrowed her brows, confusion written on her face. "Healed?

"What kind of injury is it?" she asked, fear creeping into her voice.Orion hesitated for a moment before answering, "It's a deep wound. It needs to be treated by a healer. Don't worry, we'll take care of it."Skyler nodded, feeling a little relieved. She trusted Orion, and she
Orion woke up early the next morning, his mind already focused on the training that awaited him. He knew he had to be in his best form for the upcoming fight with his brother, and so he got dressed and headed out to the training grounds.As he arrived, he looked around, taking in the surroundings.

He also practiced with a shield, learning to deflect attacks and protect himself.After a few hours of training, Orion
