I'm so sorry for the late update, please bear with me
. . . It's been 2 hours since the meeting had ended and Knox was in his office going through some files when he received a phone call. "Hello?" He answered the call without checking the ID. "Son," His mother's voice came through. His fingers froze in place and he checked the caller's ID. "Good afternoons,Mom? Is everything okay?" He asked. "You are needed in the palace, right now," She calmly said. Knox stared at the wall clock, which indicated the time to be 2pm. 'I can't leave the place like this. I still have some things to check and cross check,' He sighed helplessly as
"I didn't come here for this. Tell me what happened here," David indifferently said while he made his way back to the maid's quarter. Vera sighed then quickly went after him. She made sure to keep some distance away from him. "It's nothing serious, sir," She muttered, playing with her fingers. "Speak louder!" David coldly said and she flinched back in fear. "The servant the Queen mother asked to serve the royal, did something wrong and was beaten by the new executive. She offended one of the maids and was given 100 toads wipe, Ouch!" She bumped into David without knowing and she almost fainted due to fear. 'When did he stop walking?!' She screams internally. "Really?" David asked and she nodded. He went silent after that then made his way to the palace. "What was the problem, dear," The Queen mother asked, smiling. David stared at the smile on her face and he knew at once that she already knew what the problem was before. She just had
'What?'"Are you okay?" David asked the fragile lady who looked too pale to be a human. Her long black hair covered half of her face but the small oval face can't be forgotten so soon.Arianna's eyes flung open and was greeted with the cute man before her. Her world shattered immediately and she felt like passing out."I'm, I am fine," She pushed him away and arranged her dress."Since that's the case. Watch where you are going next time," David coldly said then proceeded to leave but something prevented him from doing so."By the way. What are you doing here? Don't you know the place you belong?" He asked. All he saw in her at that moment was just on
"Is that why you are out here?" David's voice pieced through the night startling her. She jolted up and almost fell face down. "What are you doing here? When did you get here?" She wearily asked him and she distanced herself away from him. "Are you asking me that?" He scoffed then stared at the flowers. "Why did you ask that question?" He asked. "What question?" She ignorantly asked. He smiled then stared at her causing her heart to skip a bit. "Do you think it's on your deathbed that the moon goddess will smile at you?" He asked and that was when she understood what he meant. She sighed then rested her shoulders. She stared at the moon the replied. "What do you think? I've waited patiently for a miracle from her but I guess I'll never see one. All I'll ever be given is bad luck," She shook her head. Her ands hugged her chest as she rubbed herself It was cold outside and she was in a gown with short hands. "I should h
Chapter 1"You broke the rules, Aria." A cold voice called out to the young woman walking into the hall. Aria shivered unconsciously as she heard that voice, she had prepared herself for this but it seemed no matter how long she prepared, it was all in vain."Aria, do not keep me quiet when I am speaking to you. You broke the rules once again, this time not just any rule but the forbidden rule." The cold voice rang out once again, silver hair flaunting with the wind in haste.Aria raised her head, her eyes moving all around rapidly. She could feel the pressure coming down on her at that moment, she stared at the woman to who the cold voice belonged. She gulped down her saliva before she opened her mouth to speak, "Mom, I did not mean to. It just happened, it wasn't intended." Aria breathes out.The woman frowned hearing her daughter's words, she stood up from her throne and climbed down the stairs with slow steps. Her silver hair fluttered behind her, the transparent crown on her head
Chapter 2Ariana moved with hurried steps towards the living room, the tray she heard in her hand was filled with bottles of wine and glass cups in it. The sweat peeking from her forehead was sparkling with the lights hitting on it, as she hasted up her steps and ran into the huge hall where a party was going on. Precisely a ball but she didn't pay much attention to the environment.Knox Delvoc the ruthless Alpha of the Stardust pack was coming back home after so many years, so everyone arranged a ball for him. The stinky smell of perfumes and body sprays from all the high-class women in the room made her frown heavily, she was overly sensitive to smell which was nothing new for a werewolf."I want a glass of wine, bring that here…" An arrogant voice called out from among the crowd."Me too, I want one to come here." Another voice spoke.Add one extra glass another voice spoke from behind the latter, oo please can you make it two I'm quite thirsty she added.Ariana did not pay any att
Knox gazed down at Ariana he did not know what to do. Arnold picked up Ariana and strode into the bathroom, he moved towards the bathtub and placed Axelis in the tub. He turned on the shower tap and let the water flow freely into the tub, the water was ice cold to the touch and could immediately make anyone begin freezing.Ariana stirred from her drowsiness, she squirmed while trying to get rid of the cold touch she was feeling on her skin, it was bone chilling like ice was poured on her. Knox stood with his chocolate-colored eye glaring down at her, he stood to the side without making any attempt to turn off the tap. The storm brewing in his eyes stirred like the volcanos."Stop squirming like a cat, stand up, and get out of my bathtub now." He muttered in a bone-chilling tone, that sent chills down Ariana's spine.Ariana made her way out of the tub and stood up on her feet ready to walk out of the tub but she slipped and almost fell, Ariana grabbed onto her shirt of Knox in fear of
flashback continues. at this point, everyone in the cafeteria had turned their attention to the two who were busy fighting, all their attention was on them. the majority of them felt pity for the poor girl who was going to become a victim of being bullied soon, and the minority felt it was good. she deserved it. "you little f*cking bitch, i'm gonna kill you," niha said in fury. she glanced around for something to do, she picked up her meal which she had dropped on the table before, and poured it on her. ariana gasped in shock at what had just happened, hot soup and different kinds of food drizzled down her hair to her face. she glared at the niha who was wearing a cocky expression on her face. everyone gasped at what had just happened. ariana who had walked in gasped in shock and surprise at the scene in the cafeteria. she stared at the girl whose food was dripping from her hair, she guessed she was the one being mistreated. she glanced ahead and saw the rude girl standing with a

. . . "Ah!" A heart piercing scream rang out in the small isolated room. The sounds of wipes slashing through the air resonated in the room. Arianna struggled hard to stand up on her feet but it was fruitless. Her feets were shaking none-stop and there were various red marks on her calf. Her lips were bruised already, probably she bit them hard not to scream. "So you finally screamed? You are really a tough one, there. It's been an hour now and you screamed at the last stroke," Vera smirked evily at her as she gave a signal and the guards let go of the feeble woman. She collapsed on the floor breathing heavily. Her eyes were heavy for her to open and she couldn't stop breathing heavily. "Did you think I'll beg for your mecy? Dream on, b***h!" She spat out angrily. Vera smirked but didn't a say a word but her look of contempt said it all. She stared at the bruises on Ariana's feet and smiled. "As a lady, I am sure you are very sensitive to scars and I just gave you some, freely.
"You are too naive. Do you think there's anything like right and wrong in the palace?" She chuckled lightly then turned to leave. "Wait! Didn't you come here to release me?" Arianna quickly held info at the bar as she waited for her reply. "You'ill see soon," She chuckled again and left the place. Feeling cold and hungry, she didn't say a word but instead sat on the cold floor. "It seems I won't get out of this intact. I have to think of something real quick before she comes back. Who is she anyways?"she muttered to herself, feeling anxious. First the trouble from the Alpha and now this? How was she going to cope in this hell of a place? "You don't have to think much about it, Aria," Kira's calm voice coaxed. Arianna kept quiet for some time then said. "How are you feeling now?" She asked. " I'm still recovering from the damage. I was so excited that we have finally felt the bond with our mates but I wasn't really prepared for th
A deafening sound rang out in the maid's quarter alerting some of the workers outside. The maids in the compound held their breath in horror as they stared at the scene before them. "What is going on here?!" Miha thundered as she walked out from the maid's changing room but on seeing the scene before her, a bright smile curled up to her face. . . . "Let go of me! Let go!" Arianna's screams rang out in the cold passage as she was brutally dragged away. She felt bitter and enraged over the fact that she was blamed for something she didn't do! She was only trying to defend herself and now all the maids denied her claims and said the opposite! She knew that this was going to happen but she still didn't believe that they would say it in a flawless way! "Let go of me!" She screamed frantically but the guards didn't even budge and in no time she was thrown into a cell. Her hands brazed on the cold hard bars as she tried getting out but none of the guards paid any attention to her. "I
"I'm here, my lady," A maid bowed down in respect to Niha who was busy sipping a hot tea in her room."It's good that you are here, Mina. I want you to do something for me," She calmly said as she stared at the dark haired woman."Anything, my lady. Please, what's the issue all about?" She asked."I want you to keep watch of a certain person in this palace. It seems her wings are growing and she forgets so quickly where she came from," Niha coldly replied then placed the empty mug on the marble table."Mm… my lady, may I ask which of the servants dare offend you?" She nervously asked."I want you to be a mog here. I'll return to my father and discuss some things with him and I am sure that with no time I'll be living in this palace and the new Luna of the pack. But before that, I need you to be here as my spy and one who will make things a living hell for that b***h. Do you understand what I said?" She coldly asked.Mina nodded frantically and said no more. After all was said to her s
"My lord, the Queen mother seeks your presence," A maid gently said to Alpha Knox who was steadily going through the files on his desk.His hands stopped immediately."I'll be there soon," He calmly replied with his eyes still fixed on the documents. The maid saw this and gave a short bow before she left the room, closing the door behind her.Alpha Knox continued going through the files and documents on the table and each time he opened new documents or files his brows kept on knitting together."What's this?" He muttered coldly as he stared at the last document before him.A gentle knock sounded from the door, temporarily distracting him."Come in," He answered with a frown on his face. The door pushed open gently as a tall athletic man on black walked in. His long black hair tied into a ponytail reached his waist.His green eyes calmly surveyed the room before they landed on Knox. His sharp thick brows lifted up slightly."Did something happen?" His calm voice drifted into Knox's ea
