Savannah turned on the cold floor as the sunlight found it's way through the opened curtain and forcefully wrenching her away from a dream life of a happy life."Miss Savannah, the queen mother ordered to see you. Do not be late." Bernice called from outside the room. Savannah grumbled a response before sitting up, taking in the empty room with displeasure.Since she started staying with Reginald, she had not for once met him when she woke up. It left her feeling sore and angry, but what could she do? This was just a chapter of her miserable ex, but in order not to make it more miserable she knew keeping the queen waiting wouldn't be a good way to start the day.Few minutes later Savnannah was sitting nervously in the queen's chambers. The walls were painted deep blue and had a total aura surrounding it. The tables were set, and lots of dishes were placed on it but despite how hungry she was she dared not make a move on any of them. Moments later, the Queen walked in with Amelia on he
-------------Savannah woke up feeling sour all over. Her vital muscles seemed not to agree with her thereby making her movement painful. She cursed silently, making her way to the bathroom. After a long time in the hot tub, the pain reduced. She was able to walk without more trouble.A gasp escaped her lips, her eyes landed to the golden wall clock. It was way past her training time. Great way to start the day, Savannah. Truth be told she didn't want to return to the training ground after what happened yesterday. Her body was too weak to take any further abuse.A knock pulled her out of her thought, her heart beat picking up as she muttered a low 'come in'.A sigh of relief escaped her lips as Lex walked in with some bottles of drugs in his hands. He flashed her a smile, his dimples making his face look more appealing. Once again, she subtly wondered why she wants betrothed to the other prince."Good morning, Savannah." Lex greeted, dropping the tr
"You're not someone that I can ever grow to love, Savannah. The only thing in me that grows for you is hatred. I hated you long before you stepped foot into this palace, and you have become a disdainful, shameful burden that I have to carry about like a clown, because of the so-called Alpha. I don't care what happens to you. That's why I didn't help you back at the ball party. It won't bother me one bit if I wake up tomorrow and hear that your soul now resides in Hades."Reginald's words were like sharp arrows doused in acid and shot from far, straight into her chest, and they caused hot tears to escape silently from her face. She wanted to speak and defend herself, but there was nothing she could say to him. Through her tear-blurred eyes, she could see Reginald’s eyes held more hate for her than even his words."I... I didn't do anything to deserve this. All I ever did was to agree to get married to you, and I didn't have much of a choice-""Still, it's the worst mistake you've ever
hapter 15SAVANNAH'S POVWhat just happened? How did I get to the ground?I met the ground with so much force, my body started aching immediately. I was in the process of dusting myself when I saw shadows of three hefty men cover my figure as they towered over me from behind.I immediately stood up to face them and saw that two of them were wolf guards, while the other was Reginald.My eye widened in realization and fear as I immediately turned pale, knowing that I was in big trouble. Just when I was about to escape, Reginald got a hold of me."How did... But when did you...", I couldn't get standard sentences out of my quivering lips as I stared from the guards to the prince, avoiding his fiery gaze."Reginald, I can explain. I swear it's not what you think-""You never seize to amaze me. You're full of surprises", he muttered with an emotionless expression."Reginald, please-""Take her upstairs, to my room", he ordered the guards, and in one swift swoop, I was lifted off the groun
Third Person's POVHis eyes were planted on the paperwork streaked across his desk, engrossed that a light knock on the door caused him to jolt upright, almost falling from his seat.."Come in" Reginald ordered and a wolf guard bowed before, setting himself in front of the prince.."The Alpha calls for you." The guard announced loudly. "He asks to see you immediately."He left before Reginald could even acknowledge his words."Fuck." He groaned, frustration etched into his features as he slid deeper into his seat. what did that old man want from him now?Reginald hated every meeting he had with him. Other than the fact that the king saw everything as a matter of urgency, the cold bond between the both of them made each meeting and the smallest conversations strained with tension..A tired yawn escaped him and he checked the time on my Rolex Submariner. It's was 8pm already. It wasn't until now he just realized he'd been seated in one spot, sorting out documents for the past three hou
Third person's P.O.VLaying his eyes on his brother and catching him laughing his heart out with their mother and Amelia, only sent one thought sticking in his head.They all stopped laughing when they noticed him. Why the fuck would his family treat him like that?"You don't look too good, son. What may be the problem-"Ignoring his mother's concern, Reginald pranced towards Ryker with his right hand tightly balled into a fist.Ryker immediately sensed from Reginald's expression that he was coming for him and he tried to get to his feet but Reginald was too fast for him. Before he could stand up, Reginald drew my right arm back in the air, and with all the force I could muster in less than a second, he landed a blunt-force blow on his brother's face, crushing him back into his seat. Ryker made a grunting noise of pain as his nose shattered."Reginald!! How could you do that to your younger brother?!!" The Queen Mother cried, wide-eyed and utterly shocked by her son's actions. "What i
Reginald's eyes snapped open, the soft morning light casting a haunting glow across the room. His gaze landed on Savannah, curled up on the cold floor, dried tear tracks on her bruised cheeks. A feeling of guilt mixed with frustration welled up within him.The previous night had been a blur, an ugly culmination of anger and resentment that had led him to force his way with her . Regret gnawed at him as he watched her sleep, but his inner turmoil only fueled his disdain. He wasn't filled with regret that he'd raped her, but for the fact that he'd cheated on Rachel. But who could blame him. Rachel refused to come see him because she was angry that he was engaged to that worthless Savannah."You're a constant reminder of everything I didn't want," he whispered bitterly, his voice barely louder than a breath. He had never wanted this marriage, and his heart belonged to someone else.Savannah stirred, a faint moan escaping her lips, but she remained asleep, her pain hidden beneath the surf
"Are you a fucking animal?" He glowered at the man standing across the room, planting himself in front of the bloodied Savannah. "Why would you hit her like this?""She attacked me first, Ryker." Amelia spat through her teeth, as her eyes glazed over with unshed tears.She was such a great actress that even Ryker almost believed her."She wouldn't attack you without any reason, she's not a wild untamed savage like some people." He cut a heated look at Reginald who stood by the side, fingers balled into fist."Amelia, leave us."Reginald snapped, eyes directly planted on Ryker. "Get that treated before it gets infected. Leave."He added one more time for effect and the princess elaborated a flinch before turning her back on them and walking out of the room.Savannah wanted to get up to and leave the room too but every inch of her body ached. Through the tears that burned her eyes, she could barely see the brothers but could feel the animosity dripping off both of them. And it was all he
