VALERIA Three weeks ago I had searched through the pack just in case I got any information about my mother, but it just seemed like she never existed. I had never been so frustrated in my entire life. I even travelled to neighbouring towns just to inquire, but still, all to no avail. My father was a popular man, so why was it that no one knew about my mother? Nothing was making sense to me anymore. I met some elderly women, and they asked me to go back to Sam's house if I wanted to know about anything related to what I was looking for. I fell to my knees and begged the woman so badly, but she insisted that she had no idea about it. I wondered why everyone had been secretive about my mom. A lot of things went through my mind, and I was losing it slowly. At one point, I prayed that I'd find someone who knew about her whereabouts and tell me so I'd just go to the next stage. The whole thing was slowly eating me up. It was driving me insane, and I wouldn't be lying if I said I wante
EVE For the past two days, I have been dodging myself from going to the kitchen. I had no idea how to explain to Mom that I already had a mate. Not just any mate, but Lucian. I never expected that I'd see a mate so soon, not to mention that I have a beta as my mate. The moon goddess was faithful to me, but it was also a punishment and a pain in the ass. Up until now, I still couldn't answer what made me accept Lucian's request to be my mate. Yes, he was my mate, but why did I agree with him? Was I under a spell because I couldn't believe that I avoided him all this while just to accept him as my mate? Hell was going to break loose the moment Miss Sophie found out. I stared at my reflection in the mirror as my gaze travelled to my neck. It has been five days, and yet the mark is still visible, like it was made some seconds ago. Yes … Lucian had marked me already. I never expected for that to happen, but I couldn't stop it from happening as well. I couldn't even believe that I now
NICKOLAS I was surprised when Lucian demanded to see me, it was something he had never done even though I hardly found him around Brutus. I wondered what was wrong this time around and what they wanted from me... I was already sick and tired of the whole thing that was going on. I pushed the door open, Lucian turned around and bowed slightly. I waved my hands at him and walked up to where I was meant to sit down. I pulled out the chair and sat. "I am quite surprised to see you... Is something wrong or do you have a message for me from Brutus?" I needed to know so I could plan ahead of what to do because at this point, I was tired of everything that was going on. It was driving me insane. I wasn't going to lie about it. Lucian chuckled dryly as he shook his head. "Ohh. This is the first time nothing is wrong." I paused, my face was stern. "It looks like today is going to be full of surprises." "I decided to stand up against Brutus." Lucian said as he adjusted. The moment he s
NICKOLAS There was no longer time to waste, I needed to make it up to Valeria and Giselle now while I still got the chance to. I walked into the room I had set up for Giselle, I had no idea what she would really like so I had everything kids her age would want and love to have.“How’s wverythin going with the preparation?” I asked Remus.Of all my my guards and errand boys, I had no idea why but I put all of my faith on Remus. I had tested him countless times and was proud that he passed all of them.Remus scanned the room as he walked up to me. “I did as you requested and I also asked suggestions from other kids. But, I feel like all of this isn’t needed.” he said quietly.“Why do you say so?” I crossed my arms and put all of my concentration on him. “When I asked other kids..they mentioned something about Giselle not really liking the things they loved.” Remus scratched his head. “So I have no idea.”I had always known that my daughter was matured for her age. Myself and Emilia w
GISELLEI paced around the room while I waited for Xhafer to show up. We had both planned to hang out today and he came up with a date, but now dad also wants a date with me today. The door creaked open and I rushed to the door. "What's wrong?" Xhafer asked as he shut the door behind him."You know how long I've waited for dad to finally come around and speak to me?" My heartbeat slammed against my chest.Prominent lines appeared on Xhafer's forehead as he nodded his head. "So what's happening now?" he asked."I want to let you know that dad came some minutes ago and he asked me out on a date..." I paused and lowered my head, I stared at my feet. "I turned him down."I propped my lips and sat on a chair closest to me. "Heyy, why did you do that?" Xhafer asked as he leaned closer to me."Why shouldn't I? We both planned to go on a date today."I also didn't want to turn him down, but if I didn't I'd feel bad for Xhafer. I had always been on his neck to take me out of the castle and
Camilla pushed some chairs out of her way as she rushed to Sam. Her eyes fell on Sam, sipping wine as he scrolled through his phone. Her ears flared up. "Sam, what's going on? Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you quiet, like we are not part of the family?" Camilla rested one hand on her waist and the other on her forehead. Sam didn't say a word; he didn't even look up at her. He remained engrossed in his phone with no atom of emotion written on his face. "You sat there while that stupid girl humiliated me and our daughter. You watched her slap me, and you did nothing about it." Camilla kept on ranting. That was all she could do. She couldn't fathom the fact that Sam remained quiet and wasn't saying anything. Or was he part of everything that had been going on? She had doubts about it but hoped it wouldn't be true. Sam adjusted his glass, turned off his phone, and placed it beside him on the couch. He looked up at Camilla and crossed his legs. "Camilla, y
