'You'll be okay. You'll be okay.' Agnella opened her eyes and sat up on the bed when those words came to her. She looked around her room but didn't find anyone.She took her hand to her chest but didn't feel any sort of pain, she also noticed how wet her bed and body were.What happened? She came down from the bed and walked to the door."Oh, miss, you are awake. How are you feeling now?" A maid immediately came in to meet her."What happened? Why am I so wet?""You fell ill, mistress Nicia has been here with you the whole morning, she just left. Do you need me to call her back? She can explain your condition better.""No, no. If she has been taking care of me then there is no need to disturb her, I need to take my bath.""Okay, let me prepare a cold bath for you then.""No, I want it warm. I feel cold inside and would love to have a warm shower."The maid prepared a warm bath for her and she went in and had her bath, when she came out, she noticed that her bed had been changed into
"Your majesty," they chorused and stood up. Mistress Balia was the first to stand. Agnella scoffed and looked away, refusing to stand or greet him."My Alpha, how long have you been there?" Mistress Balia stepped out to meet him and Mistress Gattara followed her."Do you need my service? Is something wrong?" Mistress Balia moved closer, the last time he came over to their quarter was about 5 years ago.Alpha Draven didn't reply but instead, he kept his attention focused on Agnella.Mistress Balia followed his gaze to notice him staring keenly at Agnella who wasn't even paying him attention."You need to stand up, I think he came here for you." Mistress Nicia slightly pushed Agnella but she didn't move."Excuse us," Alpha Draven ordered as he moved to the dining room.Mistress Nicia stood up and left with mistress Isis but mistress Balia refused to move."Let's go. Let's go." Mistress Gattara kept pushing Balia until she moved. Alpha Draven sat down beside Agnella and Agnella moved h
A guard ran to Alpha Draven's office and stopped at the door."Alpha Draven, it's urgent." He announced.The door opened and Beta Vigo came out."What is it?""This letter just came in, it doesn't have a sender but the letter is directed to Alpha Draven."Beta Vigo received the letter and inspected it to be sure that the paper carries no harm with it."You can go, I'll pass it to him." Beta Vigo said and the guard left.Beta Vigo went to Alpha Draven's chambers, Alpha Draven had just finished taking a shower and dressing up when Beta Vigo came in."Boss, this came for you from an anonymous sender." Beta Vigo announced.Alpha Draven received the letter and read it, he walked to his box, opened it then dropped the letter into it."What does the letter say?" Beta Vigo inquired."It says that I need to do something." Alpha Draven replied.**Agnella came out of her room to notice how every worker seemed to be in a hurry. Some were carrying stuff out of the sitting room and this confused
Agnella jumped up from her bed, startled by the way the door was thrown up. "Miss, you need to come with me, now." Beta Vigo said. "Where?" "To his chambers. Alpha Draven." "Why?" "He ordered me to bring you over, you'll be spending the rest of the day with him." "Why is that? You haven't answered me." "I don't know, miss, I am just carrying out an order." "I'm not interested, I don't want to spend the rest of my day with someone like him." Agnella huffed and sat down on the bed. "You need to come with me, miss," Beta Vigo urged. "I am not going, if he so wants me, he should come to get me himself." Agnella insisted. "I'll tell him that you want him to carry you to his room then," Beta Vigo stepped back and made to close the door when Agnella screamed. "No!!! I didn't say that, do not tell him that." Agnella jumped down from the bed. "Will you follow me then?" "Just tell him that he should come and ask me politely, I didn't say I want him to carry me. Hell no!" Agnella sh
"Firstly, do not ever compare yourself to a mere mistress.""Secondly, there will be no choice, I believe there is a reason why you were chosen as my mate so do not compare yourself to a mistress.""But you like her more, you prefer her.""There are certain things you do not understand, Agnella.""Then make me understand because it seems like everything I do irritates or gets you angry.""I apologize for making you think like that.""I do not need your apology, you said you'd give me a straightforward answer but you did not.""Were my answers not good enough?""No, I need you to answer the questions as it is. Who do you like between us both? Just give a name.""You.""Me?" Agnella gasped as she stared at him in shock.She moved away, creating a huge distance between them."How can you lie to my face? Geez! I dislike your type of man." She huffed."I only answered your question, Agnella.""No, you did not. But I'll ask my second question. If you were given a chance to pick...""I told
Agnella finally managed to sneak out of the castle after the guards held her back. She followed the route Beta Vigo showed her and soon she arrived at the mistress' house.She opened the gate and went in, at the entrance of the house, she found Mistress Gattara pacing about there."You came, I have been waiting. I knew you would come," mistress Gattara smiled."I am not here to see you," Agnella walked past her and made to head inside but Mistress Gattara grabbed her."What are you doing?" Agnella snapped trying to get away from her."You will have to eat this nut since you are already here, I'm afraid you won't pass until you have eaten it." Mistress Gattara stated."Let go of me!" Agnella managed to free herself."So, will you take it? You can go in after you have taken it or will you rather return to the castle?And does the Alpha know that you are here? You didn't even come with a guard." Mistress Gattara stared at her suspiciously."He knows I'm here, how else would I be here if
Agnella allowed the maids to lead her into the bathroom and then sat her in a bathtub, they started washing her whole body starting with her hair.As they did this, her mind recalled her time with Alpha Draven.. rather Yandel. Right Yandel, he asked her to call him by that name.The memories of all that went down between them yesterday came back to her.After she was done swimming, she came out of the lake and he helped dry her hair.He took off his shirt and dried her hair with it, asking her not to worry when she asked him if it was okay.He helped her wear her clothes before turning into a big wolf again and taking her back to his castle.He allowed her to go to her room when she asked and didn't argue with her, it's like he changed within seconds.The thought of how he treated her nicely yesterday made her body hot, she blushed hard and face-palmed herself so as not to be caught by the maids."Agnella, Agnella." A familiar voice called and she removed her hands from her face once
It's been minutes since she entered his room and not a single word has been uttered. With her gaze fixed on the floor, she kept playing with her dress, shy and confused. Also speechless. "Will you keep standing there?" He asked, finally speaking up.Agnella managed to look. "What?" She muttered."Come, it's late already, you should be asleep by now," he stretched out his hand.She moved forward and took his hand and he led her to the bed. He helped her lie down."Sleep." He muttered and turned to leave the room."Where are you going? Won't you also sleep?""I'll be back, I'm heading to my study," he replied and left.Agnella adjusted and faced the wall as she tried to fall asleep but couldn't. She kept turning and tossing about in an attempt to fall asleep but she was uncomfortable, the numerous questions in her head also contributed to her lack of sleep.When she thought that she was finally going to fall asleep the door cracked open and he came in.She closed her eyes and pretend
**Final Chapter**Just like Mistress Nicia had implied, she left and never came back, even when Agnella was about to give birth. She never returned, even when Agnella waited for her. Agnella eventually gave up after waiting for so long. She began telling stories to her now four-year-old son about her best friend, Nicia, who had gone on a journey to discover herself. Mistress Nicia was simply tired of being attached to someone else's mate. She was tired of watching the man she loved and adored love another.It was heartbreaking, but she took a bold step to walk out and discover herself. She also hoped to find her true fated mate on her journey of self-discovery. The other mistresses also gave up on Alpha Draven after Agnella gave birth, and they left the palace soon after.The mistresses were not the only ones who gave up; Araceli also gave up on trying to get her daughter to the demon's side after watching her get pregnant for the second time by Alpha Draven. She was pregnant with a b
Draven came into his bed chambers to find Agnella asleep on the bed, she has been sleeping a lot - more peacefully since the crowning, guess the crowning got her all worked up. Draven went to the bed and gently sat down beside her, he took one of her hands into his, a new habit he developed. He gently rubbed her hand as he stared at her and it didn't take long for her to wake up. "Hey," he said once she opened her eyes. "Hi, you are here," she tried sitting up but Draven held her back. "No, you should stay still." "Why?" "You'll need the rest. I just want to tell you something." "What is that?" "We'll be returning home." "Home? I don't understand, like going back?" "Yes," Draven bobbed his head in agreement and Agnella sat up. "Really? Why? Why so suddenly?" Agnella questioned. "Well, we came here for the crowning right? So I figured out that we should return since you have been crowned. Don't you miss it there? Or do you want us to stay longer?" "No, let's go back. I'll
"I heard... I heard that you are thinking of revolting." "Yes, I do, any problem?" Prince Draven turned to face him. The king came down from his chair and came to stand before him. "Are sure about that? What you are about to do is called treason." The king moved around him as he spoke. "Well, it all depends on your decision. I will remove you from the throne and then kill all your other children if you don't do as I wish," Prince Draven stated. "Your wish." The king stopped in his face. "Yes, and you know what that is. You know what my wish is, it's very simple. Make my mate a princess, have your first mistress and her family go to a different pack, and also move the rest of your children and their mothers far from the palace. The palace is not safe enough for the real owners, dangers keep lurking around." The king cracked and laughed a little at Prince Draven's request. "Is that all? If I grant your request, will you really give up on revolting?" "Of course Father, I'm not
"To dethrone my father. Why else? I'll also have all my half siblings beheaded just like my father did to his as soon as he took the crown." Draven said, leaving Pietro in bigger shock."What? Why do you look shocked? It's no longer a secret that my father had you send your guard to kill his siblings. That is after Killing his father to become the king.""Your... Your Highness, what are you trying to say?" Beta Pietro adjusted well on his chair."I just need you on my side that's all, is that too big of a request?"Beta Pietro adjusted his chair again on hearing Prince Draven's request. "You know I am one of the king's men, I am not allowed to be on any prince's side." Beta Pietro cleared his voice."But you broke those rules centuries ago by siding with my father."Beta Pietro stayed quiet at his words, not knowing how to defend himself. "I will revolt if you don't come to my side," Prince Draven added. "I'm sure you don't want that happening."He stood up and walked out of his off
Just then, the door busted open and Beta Vigo came in with Beta Arrigo, both struggling to stand properly on their feet. On seeing Alpha Draven staring up at him from where he sat, Vigo quickly let go of Beta Arrigo, he cleaned his eyes with his hands to make sure he was seeing properly. "Bo...boss!" He called transfixed. "You are here, I need something to drink." Alpha Draven said taking his face away. "What- what are you doing here?" Beta Vigo pushed his brother away as he tried to reach Alpha Draven. "Why are you here?" "What? Do I need your permission to be here?" Alpha Draven scoffed as Beta Vigo came to stand before him. "No, no not that. You didn't tell me you were coming, I could have..." "Could have done what? You look wasted, I think it's better if you go to bed." "No, I'm not drunk. I barely drank anything," Beta Vigo took his hand to his mouth and cleaned it as if trying to make the evidence of what he drank disappear. "He drank about 14 bottles today, I was shoc
"Are you truly my father?" Agnella blurted, staring straight at him.Beta Hamza exhaled and moved closer to her with his chair."I can't really call myself a father, I've never performed any fatherly duty." He sighed."Why did you choose the dungeon over trying to find my mother?" Agnella questioned, what he was discussing with Alpha Draven was now making more sense to her."Be... because it was the right thing to do," Beta Hamza replied."Did you even care about me in the first place? Did you ever wonder if I was safe?""I... I knew you were gonna be safe with your m...""How sure are you that she protected me the way she should?" Agnella cut in sharply and stood up. She backed him as tears formed in her eyes.Beta Hamza slowly stood up behind her."Did... Did something happen?""A lot happened, my mother once told me you were dead but why am I here with you?""She probably told you that so you wouldn't think I abandoned you, she did it for your sake." Beta Hamza said."Are you sidin
70: Agnella's father"If you want, we can abort the baby, we can get rid of the baby if you don't want to have a child this early," Alpha Draven blurted and Agnella widened her eyes in shock."What? Abort the baby?" Agnella exclaimed and pulled her hand away from his hold before stepping back."I don't want that," she added looking away. "This is my first time, I don't want the baby aborted," she continued. Alpha Draven bobbed his head and went closer to her again."There is someone you need to meet," he announced."Who is that?" She looked up at him."Your father," Alpha Draven revealed and Agnella's face turned white like she had seen a ghost."My father?" She gasped unsure if she heard him correctly."What do you mean? My father?" She repeated.Alpha Draven grabbed hold of her hand and led her back to the bed, he made her sit before squatting down before her."Yes, he is one of the secrets I've been keeping from you, I don't want any misunderstanding between us again. Do you want
Coming out from the dungeon, Beta Vigo ran into Beta Arrigo, the second prince Beta and stopped. Beta Arrigo held an expression that showed that he was not in a good mood but on sighting Beta Vigo, he smiled and his expression brightened up."Hey kiddo, what are you doing here?" Beta Arrigo jokingly called him."I'm not a kid, stop calling me that." Beta Vigo groaned."You are still a kid to me no matter what boy, why are you here?" Beta Arrigo repeated his earlier question."I'm only running an errand here, why are you here?" Beta Vigo answered."What do you mean? I'm always here, I use this place as an excuse to escape the palace. Who sent you on an errand by the way?" Beta Arrigo asked but Vigo kept mute."Is it Prince Draven? I guess it's Prince Draven then," Beta Arrigo chuckled."You are such a faithful assistant, I wish to be like you someday," Beta Arrigo smirked and Beta Vigo scoffed."What have you been up to? How has it been with the second prince?" Beta Vigo inquired."It
Her cold expression made Draven feel awful but he didn't say anything about it. He sat beside her before he started...Agnella didn't pay him any attention, she was listening but she didn't look at him at all. “Firstly, I didn't come here because of some royal benefits. I came here with you because mother wanted me to and she kept bugging me that she wanted to see you. I love you and I met you before the baby.” Agnella turned to him, her eyes filled with contempt. She didn't believe a word of what he said. For two days, she had done nothing but overthink. She had thought of him as a monster and a selfish man.“Why didn't you tell me I was pregnant then? Is it love as well?” Her voice came out of her mouth weakly, softly, and dryly. She looked at him wryly, with no emotions in her eyes. “I didn't tell you to protect you. That was what I thought, I didn't really think about it but believe me, I only did it to protect you.” Draven looked at her with pleading eyes, his facial expressio
