Draven stood in front of the chamber until nightfall. Then he returned to the room to check if she was already calm. Getting to the room, he saw her lying on her side on the bed, facing the door and immediately she saw him she turned to the other side. Draven heart felt like it had been stung by a bee. He stood at the door watching her, listening to her heartbeat and the rise and fall of her chest. He sighed before he shut the door and then walked through the hallway. As he walked further, he saw Beta Vigo coming toward him. “Alpha,” he called as he got to him. Alpha Draven said nothing but just raised one of his hands, gesturing to Beta Vigo to keep quiet and leave him alone. Beta Vigo understood, he said nothing more and watched the Alpha walk away. Draven stopped at the nearest garden he found, it was late already and the moon was out. He moved his hands to his back and watched the moon, thinking. His mind was distorted, he didn't know what to think. As Draven was consumed wit
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
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
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
"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
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
"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
"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
**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
