Jaselyn's POV Finding Isla’s room was very easy, with the direction of one of the maids, I easily spotted the biggest, most beautifully decorated room in the palace.But nothing prepared me for the sheer luxury I would find when I opened the room.The room was so large that it looked like a five star luxury suite. Everything was beautifully decorated and probably cost a fortune. Every inch of its space spoke of a type of wealth and privilege beyond anything I had ever known and would ever hope to know.Even the bed and lavish furniture looked so darn soft and fluffy that I had to physically hold myself back from falling into it. If this room were mine, I would probably go to sleep every night with the biggest smile on my face.And at that point I couldn’t help but wonder. How could someone with a bed this big and soft be so cruel and heartless? How could a woman with so much privilege take joy in oppressing others? I guess it goes to show that money truly isn't everything.I walked
Jaselyn's POV My eyes widened at the shocking accusation. Moi? Stole a diamond necklace? When did I even have the time to steal anything when she kept me working all day? But she must have already known that.“Isla.” I tried to begin calmly, fighting back the anger building up within me. “I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I never stole anything, I never even saw a diamond necklace anywhere.” There must have been some kind of misunderstanding or she had probably just misplaced it but I didn't get the chance to say that because she was still yelling at me.“I’m talking about the diamond necklace my husband gifted me on our wedding night. He gave it to me to signify our love and commitment to each other. I always wear it to important gatherings so everyone in the pack knows about it, you're obviously feigning innocence. I know you stole it out of jealousy. Now tell me where it is?!” She yelled even louder than before.“I’m not lying!” I bit back in frustration. “I didn’t ev
Jaselyn's POV “I was in the middle of a very important meeting which I had to dismiss suddenly after being informed that my attention was needed for something very urgent. So Isla, do tell me what was so important that it couldn't wait.” Zane demanded, the strain in his voice indicating that he was far from pleased.This was the first time I had seen Zane even remotely displeased with his precious wife, and I was truly surprised by it. I thought she could never do anything wrong in his eyes.I guess that it goes to show that you can never ever trust him to always be on your side. Zane was the kind of man who would treat you however he liked, whenever it suited him. Just like how he dumped me right after taking my virginity.Isla immediately rushed over to his side with a feigned look of innocence on her face as she clung to his arm.“Darling, I didn't mean to trouble you so. You know I wouldn't intrude in your work hours if it wasn't urgent but this is a matter that has cut too deepl
Jaselyn's POV Ocha's eyes were bulging down at the diamond necklace that had just fallen out of her pocket to our feet. For the first time ever, I saw her shiver as she darted backwards in horror.“How….I didn't— I…..It's not—When—” She stuttered out nonsensically.“Ocha? But how is that possible?” Isla muttered in disbelief. It sounded like she couldn't believe that Ocha had betrayed her in such a manner, but in reality, only the three of us knew that she was in shock at how her plan could have possibly backfired so badly.Ocha looked up at the Alpha and the Luna with stunned eyes and quivering lips.“Alpha— I—This isn't— I didn't do this, I swear. I don't know how—” It seemed like she couldn't stop stammering, so I just shook my head at her with a disappointed look on my face.“There's no use lying to us now, Ocha. You've been caught red-handed. Just admit to your crime and take your punishment with dignity,” I advised with as much sympathy in my voice as possible.Ocha's gaze snap
Jaselyn's POV True to his words, Zane ensured that Ocha was viciously whipped with 30 lashes in view of the whole pack. I watched as people sneered, spat and gossiped about her. I shivered to think that it would have been me in that same position if I hadn’t been quick enough to outsmart Ocha and her evil twisted psychopath of a mistress. Speaking of psychopathic mistresses, I hadn’t seen Isla since her chilling threat. It made me feel a little nervous to wonder what she must be up to at the moment.Nila snickered at that. “She’s probably somewhere in her evil lair, silently plotting how to make our life a living hell.” Nila predicted and I felt a shiver run down my spine when I realized that my wolf was most probably right.But I had no idea how right she was until I arrived back at the palace from watching Ocha’s punishment when I suddenly saw Isla walking up to me with a sadistic smile on her face.She looked too happy to be normal. She looked more happy than any woman should be
Jaselyn's POV “What’s going on here?” Zane gritted out through clenched teeth, like he was barely able to control himself from lashing out.I felt a strong surge of frustration bubbling up inside me. Why was he suddenly tainting our fun with his dark menacing presence? Couldn’t he take his darkness somewhere else?Rion on the other hand, was smiling at the Alpha like he’d seen a long lost friend and was about to invite him over.“Hey Zane, when did you arrive? I was just showing Jas here how to hold the vacuum cleaner right,” I noticed Zane’s eyes narrow when Rion called me Jas but Rion just continued.“She’s been dragging it around for a while and not holding it right, I was afraid she would end up with a sore wrist or she might sprain it in the worst case scenario.” Rion added in such a cheerful tone that I wondered if I was the only one seeing the Alpha’s murderous expression. Zane’s eyes briefly flickered to my wrists and I was tempted to hide it away, just to spite him.But the
Jaselyn's POV"Your mate?" I asked, trying my best to keep the sadness from seeping into my voice.Rion nodded, his eyes softening as he spoke. "Yes, she's an incredible cook. I told her about you, and she decided to make them specially for you."I couldn't help but feel a bite of envy at the thought of Rion casually talking to his mate while she cooked in the kitchen. What's even worse is the fact that she sounds like a wonderful person, so I couldn’t even hope to hate her."She sounds amazing," I admitted quietly.Rion nodded with a fond look in his eyes. "Yeah.. She absolutely is.”"Rion— Why have you been so nice to me?" I suddenly blurt out, unable to keep the question from slipping out.Rion hesitated for a moment before answering. "You remind me a lot of my sister," he admitted, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness and nostalgia. “She passed away a few years ago. You look like her quite a lot, you'd both be the same age if she was still alive.” He revealed and my heart stil
Jaselyn's POV “How dare you touch me, you filthy thing? Have you gone mad? Just wait and see what Zane does to you for your insolence.” She hollered like a mad dog.“Go ahead and tell him, I dare you. You and I know that you've got no power over me so go ahead and run with your two little feet over to your husband. Tell him all the lies you want but at the end, he'll come to my bed at night.” I snickered.“Don’t you fucking underestimate me, you bitch. You're nothing but scum, you're not even worth the dirt under my shoes. If I wanted to kill you Jaselyn, trust me, you would know, but you wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing to stop me.” she spat, her voice dripping with venom. "Do you think you're important just because Zane comes to you at night? No, you need to stop deluding yourself. Zane was a playboy before he met and married me. He fucked all manner of women and was just looking for the next hole to get his dick wet but eventually abandoned all of them and came to me.The same
