SKYLAR'S P.O.V I sat on the single couch with my legs crossed, I was engrossed in a book, when the door creaked open. Startled, I looked up to see Roselle entering her room."Skylar," she began, "Mrs. Kate has requested to see you. She is in the meeting hall."I furrowed my brows. "Why does she want to see me? Any idea?"She shook her head. "I have no clue. She's in the meeting hall with some elders, particularly those supporting Jennifer as the next Luna."Skylar sighed, not entirely surprised. "Of course, just when Denver's away on a trip, she is definitely going to stir things up. Alright," I said, closing the book I was holding. "Let's get going."I stood before Mrs. Kate and the elders, their disdainful stares sending shivers down my spine. Every glance seemed to speak volumes of their disappointment and disapproval. I swallowed my nerves."Is there something I have done?" I asked, attempting to know why the sudden call.Mrs. Kate's expression remained stern as she looked at me
DENVER'S P.O.VI sat in my office, diligently working on the pack's reports. The room was filled with the soft hum of the air conditioner and the faint rustling of papers. As I meticulously reviewed the numbers and data, a sudden thought struck me. "Jennifer." I muttered the name under my breath, my eyes darted around the room, like I was searching for her presence.Realizing I couldn't ignore the thought that had captivated my mind, I stood up from my desk. It was as if I had suddenly remembered an important task that needed my attention. More like the sudden that I had left something important at the store. Without hesitation, I made my way out of my office and toward Jennifer's room. As I approached her door, I gently knocked. I could hear her approaching footsteps with her voice which accompanied. "Who is there?" A smile crossed my face, as I could feel nothing but the sweet scent of her pawpaw cream and the intoxicating scent of her strawberry perfume. As she opened the door,
SKYLAR'S P.O.V I slowly opened my eyes, my body still heavy with sleep. The soft rays of the sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow to the room. I blinked away the remnants of dreams, just then, I realized I was alone in bed.Panic gripped me for a moment as I recalled waiting for Denver the previous night, only to end up sleeping in the process. I was so worried, could it be that he fell asleep in his office? Or did he wake up earlier than usual?I was deep in thought. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and slipped into my slippers, determined to find him. Just then, Roselle walked in with a tray of food."Good morning, Your highness. I brought you breakfast," She greeted, setting the tray on the bedside table.I smiled, sensing how formal she wanted to be. "Come on, Rose, you don't expect me to tell you that that stuff doesn't work for me.""Oh please, M'lady, I'm only doing my job."I rolled my eyes playfully. "You're gonna get tired along the line, trust me.
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI barged into his office not minding knocking. He looked up at me from his laptop screen, an evil smirk creased on his face as he stared bluntly at me, feeling less guilty for what he's done.“Hey, Skylar, I wasn't expecting you to come.” He said, gently slamming his laptop close.“Was expecting to come here either. Where were you last night?” I know I shouldn't raise my voice at him, but I just couldn't help it.To know that he had spend the whole night fucking her was the most painful part of it all, not to talk of the fact that she proudly proclaimed already that she'd be carrying his child soon.I almost felt like slapping his face, but God knows I can't do that while he is sitting down. Even in my state of anger, he idiotically found it funny to laugh at.“What's funny, huh? I fucking asked you a question, Denver, you should give me a god-damn explanation!” I yelled.“An explanation, I see.” He nodded his head. “But before I give you your so-called explanation, I'd
SKYLAR'S P.O.V“Under a spell? How is that even possible?”“I have no idea,” I sighed again. “He was perfectly fine last night, all of a sudden he is acting differently.”“So, what do you want me to do?”“I don't know how busy you are, but if there is any way you can squeeze out time to come over, I'd be glad.”“You don't have to worry, Citrus and I will head over to Moon Night pack in an hour or two. Just hang on, and try not to do anything stupid. Okay?”I nodded. “Okay.” He ended the call.“What did he say?” Doctor James asked.“He'll be here soon.” I sighed in relief. “We just have to wait a little longer.”Suddenly, the door barged open. Roselle and Diva rushed in, they were breathing so heavily that it took them so much effort to talk.“We know we'd find you here.” Diva breathed.“Skylar. Doctor James. We have a big problem.” Roselle said with a force.“A very big one.” Diva added.“What's going on?” I asked, glaring at both of them. “Talk to me, what's going on?”“It's the Alph
SKYLAR'S P.O.V“Skylar, someone is here to see you.” Roselle informed.“Let him in.”She opened the door for them to come in. Bowing her head, she left us alone.“How was it?” I asked.Dimitri shook his head. “Denver's case isn't a minor one, I think the spell isn't just any spell–”“It's magic.” Citrus raised an eyebrow. “Just as I thought.”“I don't know what to do, guys, and I don't think I can stay the rest of the week without him.”Dimitri walked up to me, holding my hands. “You aren't alone in this, that's why you have us.” He reassured me.“I know, and I don't doubt that. I just –” I lowered my head. “I feel incomplete and hurt knowing that someone else was sharing my mate with me.” I cried.“I know Denver, he wouldn't have done this if he was in his rightful sense. He wouldn't have betrayed his love for you just for a woman. I see the way he looks at you, Skylar, Denver loves you so much.”“How about we kill her?” I suggested.He raised an eyebrow at me. “You aren't expecting
SKYLAR'S P.O.VAfter speaking with Dimitri last night, I couldn't get myself to sleep. I was curious, terrified and I couldn't explain my fears. What if I eventually tried it and then it didn't work out?Well that's not the most terrifying part, I feel like he's gonna slap the hell off my face if I try to kiss him.By the way, who the hell brought that idea? That definitely feels like a fantasy folktale movie.I laid on the bed. I was missing Denver's presence, how sensational his hands felt when he cuddled me to himself. I was also missing the late night conversations, and how dramatic he plays with our baby.Now, it's just me alone on this god-damn king-size bed, and I feel nothing but loneliness calling me. I sighed.I didn't realize when I drove off to sleep, but it didn't last though. My eyes opened, and just then sleep was far away from me. Maybe that's because even in my Dreamland, I couldn't get over the fact that Denver will be getting married to Jennifer today.I knew I had
DENVER'S P.O.VI was leaving for my office to spend the night there since I couldn't get over the shame I felt. It had been a long day discussing with Dimitri and Citrus. All thanks to them for sticking by my side, who knows how things would have ended up with me and Jennifer.I wasn't trying to avoid Skylar for any reason, I was only concerned that she'll definitely hate me after what happened. I can't tell what she feels right now, it was a lot difficult to read her mind and expression.Lately, I've been finding it quite impossible to read through her mind, everything seems a bit difficult to tell about her. When I thought I had penetrated in, I realized I only got an ice bug of what I had expected.Well, that's something I need to consider some other time. “Where are you going?” She asked sleepily. I didn't know she noticed I was leaving.“I just wanna check something in my office, I'll be back.” I lied.“Don't go. I don't want you to go.” She mumbled. “I want to feel you beside m
