Savannah's POV:As I tried to wrench open my eyelids which were suddenly too heavy, I had to screw them shut when a bright light shine directly into my sight, causing a searing pain to wreck across my head.I waited a second before prying them open again.The grey curtains danced as a cool breeze wafted through the open windows. I realized it was the lamp in the room that was bright and outside, was fast turning dark. What? The last time I was conscious… it was morning and I was in Ryker's room. The thought of being in Ryker's room sent a frisson of alarm down my spine. I wondered where I was, trying hard to recall the memories of what had happened that rendered me incompetent and in a debilitated state. As I became more and more conscious, a fresh wave of pain that had been biting at my drowsiness now seeped in and I realized every inch of my body was in agony.Flashes of memory perused my mind.Seeing Reginald and his mistress. Then I argued with him.I could remember him
------"You really should learn how to knock before barging into an office." Reginald clipped, getting off Rachel as she struggled to get her belongings together. Her brows were pulled together in a tight knot as frustration coursed through her. She had planned to hand over the flash drive to Reginald but with the presence of Prince Ryker, she was stumped."Really?!" Ryker began coldly, lips twisted into a scowl. "Having fun time with a slut in your office, while your soon-to-be wife being neglected and maltreated isn’t a big deal right?"Reginald frowned, anger marring his cold features. "I've told you before Ryker. Don't interfere in my business. And don't call her a slut." “Baby, I’ll call you–” Rachel bowed and stormed away from the room before he could finish addressing her. Blowing out a hot breath he lifted his cold gaze to meet Ryker's unwavering glare, heat flooded his being as anger grew inside him. He wondered why Ryker had been acting
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
