SKYLAR'S P.O.V It was finally the day of the Ceremony. Spending the night alone had been harder than I'd expected. It was said that the groom can't see the bride before the day of their wedding. This was not a normal wedding, but it was likely the only one I would get. The trees were a perfect green and sparkled with leftover dew from that morning. A perfect June day. A song ran through my mind making me smile.Finally Denver has concluded to let aside procrastination, and take the chance to marry me before more of what happened two days ago would repeat itself. Though he would give me this thoughtful look, most times I ask myself why he was looking at me like that.That's by the way, it's my wedding day today. I shouldn't be thinking about anything else but standing with Denver before the crowd and saying our vows and promises. I smiled again.Of course, a genuine wedding was in order to show the people who their new Queen truly was, despite my nervousness to appear as their Queen
SKYLAR'S P.O.V“You shouldn't be here.” I fumed. “How the hell did you even know I am getting married?”“I invited him.” Denver said and I turned to look at him. “He deserves to see his daughter get married.”“He doesn't deserve to watch me get married, Denver. This man shouldn't even be considered as a father!” I yelled.“Skylar, you need to calm down. You don't have to ruin your day because of him.” Denver tried to calm me down.“Looking at his face has already ruined my day already. He shouldn't be here! You shouldn't have invited him to this place!”“Skylar…” Denver held me,“Skylar, sweetheart…” he tried to talk but I interrupted.“Don’t you ever call me that! How the fuck are you still breathing? After selling off your own daughter, now you expect I smile at you? Because I miss my loving father? Fuck you.” I gave him a middle finger.I walked out of his. I would only get more angry than I already am if I have to stay there any longer, and I wouldn't want anyone to ruin my day.I
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI awoke that morning, feeling a heavy weight of exhaustion settle over my body. Every limb seemed to protest against the idea of getting out of bed. However, amidst the weariness, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness that filled me. So many reasons contributed to my happiness. Firstly, the fact that I was no longer just Denver's fiancée, but his wife. The vows they had exchanged, the commitment to spend our lives together, filled my heart with an indescribable joy. Additionally, I was relieved that everyone had finally accepted me as the Luna, even though perhaps their acceptance was not entirely from the depth of their hearts.But above all, I was most excited about my improved relationship with my father. It had taken time and effort, but we had finally come to good terms, and that even made my night. Now that he is with me, I feel closer and more secure. A feeling that relished me as I laid on my bed, taking in the soft morning light filteri
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"You have to try and eat something." Denver persuaded me."Denver, I don't know but I don't feel hungry. I've lost the appetite to eat anything.""Did you eat anything this afternoon?" He asked and I shook my head. "Come on, Skylar, if not for anyone, but for the child. I don't want my child to look skinny.""Don't worry, I'll be fine. And besides, not eating this night won't make him grow thinner. But if I am hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and find something to eat. But for now, I don't think I feel like eating anything.""How about I buy you fruits to eat. It's healthy, you know?"I smiled weakly. I didn't want to refuse, if I have to refuse it would only make him worried and sad and that's what I am avoiding. So, I simply nodded my head. "That'll be great." I said.I knew my condition wasn't a minor one, and it was probably because I was close to delivery. "Denver, if you don't mind calling doctor James for me.""Okay. I'll give him a call then." Quickly, without was
BETA MARK'S P.O.VWhat kept surprising me is the fact that she has refused to say a shit about who ordered her to do what she did."I'm gonna ask you for the last time, young lady, who asked you to do this?" I questioned, staring angrily at her. She was taking longer to say the truth and it was beginning to piss me off."Answer me!" I yelled. "Who the fuck sent you to do this?""No one asked me to do it. I swear, no one did." Tears had already stained her face, but I wasn't going to let myself be moved by her tears."You're gonna keep lying, huh?"Despite the number of strokes given to her, she knew how to endure everything. "I already told you… I don't know anything. And no one asked me to do that." I landed a resounding slap on her cheeks."You still haven't learned, have you?""I am innocent. I only took the meal just as it was served to the Queen, I have no idea the food was poisoned.""If you're gonna keep lying, then you better find a better strategy to go on with that." I snarl
DENVER'S P.O.VI stormed into her room, only to meet her walking out of the bathroom. “Hey, Denver, nice to see you today.” She said excitedly, “I wasn't even –”I cut her short. “I'm not here for that, Jennifer.” “Okay. Why then are you here?” She crossed her arms. “To remind me that I ain't your Luna or what?”“To let you know that I already know your evil intention to kill my wife.”“What evil intention.” She kept a confused face. “What the fuck are you even talking about, Denver?”“Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about, Jennifer.”“Of course, I don't know what you are talking about. You just walked in here to accuse me of something I didn't do. How many times have you seen me leave this room since you stopped our wedding?”“That's another reason why you had to send the maid to do it herself.”“What maid?” She scoffed. “Seriously, Denver, is this why you came here? To say this nonsense to my face? Yes, Skylar and I haven't been on good terms doesn't mean I should i
DENVER'S P.O.VI forced myself not to sleep, and even when I eventually did, I couldn't sleep for long. My eyes have been opened since the previous night, trying to watch over both Skylar and the child. He's been asleep, and that's all thanks to the nurses. I was already wondering how I was going to go with making a baby sleep. Right now, all I could hope for is that he doesn't wake up to cause a noise.That was another part I was certain I couldn't do. Making a baby stop crying? That was more like making the Devil stop being evil.When morning fully came, I stood by the window, staring down at the street. The sound of Skylar's groan drew my attention, causing me to look in her direction.“Hey, you're awake.” I said, leaving the window to her side. “Good morning.”She was still trying to get over with the sleep in her eyes. "You stayed. You didn't leave.""I'll never leave your side, not now. Not ever."She forced a weak smile on her face. "Thank you." She glared around the room, bef
SKYLAR'S P.O.V (A Week Later...)~AT FLORIDA KEYS~I've been up since 3 am, tiredness would be an understatement if only I have to say that's exactly how I feel right now. I feel like dying already. Gosh! It's been a week now – a fucking one week and I haven't gotten a good night sleep.The first day, he slept for so long. Yes, I was so worried to know why he was sleeping for hours more than a normal adult, but now, I'm beginning to miss that long hour of sleep. Even the doctor confirmed it was normal for a child to remain asleep for that long, though I wasn't very relieved about that information...Now! I just feel more unrelieved with the consistent cries. Geez...With the heaviness of my eyes, I attempted to soothe him back to sleep. No matter what I tried, it seemed impossible to get him back to sleep. I had already breastfed him, changed his diapers, and rocked them for what felt like hours. I did everything I knew best, yet, the unfading cries continued. I was already growing
