NylaTension was building with each passing moment. It wasn't a hard miss. Alpha Grant gave me a long hard look before he considered the perfect word to say to me."Who is Cole Giles? And why are you telling me this now?" Alpha Grant asked, I tried my best to stop myself from acting out of character. "He's Adaline's mate." I say as Alpha Grant furrowed his brows seeming skeptical, I didn't expect him to believe me right away but all I wanted was his reaction. That wasn't exciting at all."How long has he been Adaline's mate?" He asked, peeking interest. I look down feigning thoughts as I massaged my chin gently. "Oh, it's probably ever since they were caught naked on my bed." Once again, his expression was grim. "And why are you telling me this exactly? Didn't you swear you had nothing to do with it?" He may not give a single reaction, but Alpha Grant could not hide his anger behind his words. Immediately, I go down on my knees and begin sobbing harder. "He blackmailed me into doing
AdalineI and Maverick went to a cafe to discuss our business. We were at the top part of the cafe where only the most prominent nobles would dine as well as our most precious Luna Nyla.Servants normally stood next to their masters why their masters tried every single delicacy. I should know, I've watched Nyla and her group barely touch their food and not let me eat just to spite me, even though I was starving.Viscount Maverick has other plans, he had Theodore sit downstairs and wait, away from our conversation, what he had to discuss was important obviously but to the point he only wanted us alone says alot. We weren't the only one upstairs, a couple who were loving up sat three seats away from us."I apologize for having your knight sit downstairs, he works for Grant and I really can't risk anything, I commend you for not spilling anything to him when you read the letter." I nodded in response, I didn't really know how to feel about that. "Why is Cole being tried?" I ask almost im
AdalineExhausted could not even begin to express how I felt at the moment. Nyla had held parties in the past and I would be pissed at her that I had to do almost all the work setting up the party with the other maids as well as cleaning up as well. No one told me it was fucking hell on earth hosting these parties.Walking from table to table to ensure everyone was happy, getting extra hands from maids to attend to some of the guests and if I could remember correctly I would always envy Nyla that at least she could eat amidst all the hosting. I haven't not even for once gotten the chance to eat, there wasn't a difference between I and Nyla's situation, I would think she was on her diet as always but actually hosting is tasking and this time the part invited all impressionable noble ladies of the kingdom, whether they've debuted or not, I even saw a few wealthy commoners attend which is strange, Nyla despises commoners.I really didn't think much about it, I just did my part co-hosting
My voice echos as Melanie immediately puts down her skirt and Daniel quickly pulls up his pants and wears his belt.They both get up sharing mortified looks. It's funny how Melanie always slut shamed me when she's fucking a man that's old enough to be her father."Adaline it's not what it looks like." Daniel the one with reason started. "She invaded our privacy Danny, she should be executed for that. You damn slut. She definitely wanted to watch us go at it." Melanie says and I swear on the goddess, I rather lick prisoners clean than engage in that bullshit."You're one to talk Melanie, you're fucking someone old enough to be your father. The dick is probably good though since you had confused me for a slut, ironic enough I caught you in the act." I watch the weight of her tongue get heavy, she didn't even continue her scrutiny, she finally shuts the fuck up for once. Is this how it feels having the upper hand? It feels so fucking good."Adaline, don't tell anyone you saw us, I beg of
WillowThe night of the trial came and i had prepared. It was immediately announced in the afternoon, same was the arrest. The entire kingdom was in shock about the whole thing. I had just finished eating and once again Theodore was nowhere to be found, Grant was resting in our bedroom and I really didn't find time to worry about him, I'll worry later.I immediately get up after I finished eating, I left the dinning hall and the moment I shut the door behind me i heard Nyla call my name."What?" I answered to her beck."Prepare to mourn tonight Adaline, save yourself the trouble and mourn Cole." She said which infuriated me. "Excuse me?" I question. "Count Maverick is dead." My eyes widened at her revelation. "Stop saying stupid things he paid a visit to the castle a few hours ago. You're wasting my time, I'm going to the court." I say as she grabbed hold of my hand."Are you deaf? I said Maverick's dead. Quit whatever you're planning and stay put, I order you as your Luna." My hand
ADALINEAs I approached the grand door of my father's study, the heavy wood seemed to groan in protest against my touch. "Ahh, your highness," a grunt echoed from the other side, causing the two guards stationed there to exchange awkward glances. Their discomfort mirrored my own, amplified by the knowledge of what awaited me beyond those doors. The air was thick with the smell of secrecy and luxury, hinting at the hidden affair happening inside. I couldn't decide which was more unsettling: the realization that my father had summoned me only to be preoccupied with his illicit affair with a palace maid, or the burden placed upon the guards, who stood as reluctant witnesses to the intimate spectacle. In their eyes, I saw a mixture of sympathy and discomfort, torn between their duty and the moral dilemma of whether to intrude upon my father's euphoria."Ahh Please, faster," the maid's voice pleaded, her tone oddly familiar, but I couldn't be bothered to identify who was servicing my fath
GRANTWhat would you have done if you knew history was about to repeat itself for the second time. You would simply not allow it and that's why I killed Adaline's mate. She may not know it but I have just saved her life but at the cost of her giving me cold shoulders.She still stayed in the same bedroom with me but she barely held a conversation and I could easily read her mind she it always repeated the same thing. She wants nothing to do with me.She will soon understand why I did it, she'll understand it was the best decision I could make at that moment, she's only feeling this way because of the mate bond, it's not like she actually loved the boy.Immediately I hear her laugh and I'm tempted to trace it baring in mind she would always ignore my lingering gaze. I caught her with an aristocrat lady, which is odd because she claimed she never accepted invitations like Nyla did. It was assuring knowing that she didn't always keep to herself as I thought. He smile on her face was so
ADALINE Hot breaths filled the atmosphere, adding to the tension I could barely hear my sense of reasoning as Grant pressed my back against the wall. His tongue immediately slides in my mouth as mine sought his for combat, our tongue swirls for dominance and a moan escapes from my lips. Amidst the kiss I fell the taste of something metallic and slightly bitter, I recognize the taste of blood and began panicking from where it's coming from, I trace with my tongue to discover Grant's fangs piercing the corners of my mouth. I try pulling away from the kiss but his tongue quickly massages the bloody part where the his fangs pitched and quickly licks it clean. In the process the side of my tongue was immediately healed. He pulls away from the kiss, lists me up and tosses me on the bed."Who are you?" I gasped riding my ass to the edge of the bed. He only smirks, it was even entirely different the way Grant would do it. "I'm Grant's wolf, Hazem." He introduced, my eyes widened in awe. Th
CAMILAMy eyes opened slowly until it was wide. My eyes searched the white familiar ceiling of my bedroom. I toss and turn into the warmth feeling of my bed until I realized she immediately got up.My head turns and my body checks my garment tossing away the blanket.Instantly I remember everything but where is Theodore and Adaline?I got up from my bed, a gut feeling already forming in my stomach, and it wasn't exactly like butterflies it was heavy.How long had I slept and what exactly happened to Adaline and Theodore.Everything pointed back at one person and that is my father.Either way I needed to find the two of them quick and teleport back to Hazem.I quickly changed into my new pair of clothes packing in a small bag and head out of my room.Swiping the door open, two maids stood before me with a heap of clothes in their grasps."Lady Camila, you're awake." They both dropped the white linen, and my hand quickly found it's way to their mouths.I widened my eyes with the very in
NYLAMy legs crossed after each other with a wide smile.Right in the middle, where Alpha Grant's bed resided I sat on the soft cushion with a wide smirk resting on my lips.I was buck naked, my hands behind my back as I count in seconds for Alpha Grant to return to his room. My clothes were abandoned to a corner of the room and the moon shone bestow me, endowing I and the room in it's light.For once, my blonde hair seems be of make good use as they glistened under the moonlight, emanating the folktales of an actual goddess.With purple hair or not, I was emanating that glory and I could not help feeling myself.I yawned, I don't know how long it's been since I made the bedsheets. Took of my clothes as the thought finally sparked to me in boredom.A man was a man, as long as you appeared naked before them they would humbly tuck in their tails at the sight of you.It also encouraged me to take off my clothes, convincing me my plan will work better with Alpha Grant if I appeared nude.
NYLAThis was my time to strike, Adaline and her band of mischief are supposedly missing and the last place they were seen was at Julian's Blackwood. Mr Blackwood claimed that Adaline didn't visit him and so rumor has spread in the kingdom that the empress has ran away.Camila and Theodore are wanted for kidnapping the empress and if not kidnap, soliciting a runaway.I was next in charge since Camila wasn't around. I was ordering everyone I could order back and forth like it's supposed to be, soon I would be ruling over everyone in this insufferable kingdom.I walked down the hallway with a wide smile on my lips as the maids all bow down. My eyes glimmer in excitement, catching a glimpse of Alpha Grant walking towards me. It's been four days, just four days and underneath his eyes seemed to have worsened.Behind him was lady Georgiana who trailed behind him. Ever since Theodore was gone she's been at the castle taking over some of Theodore's duties. I suspect she's doing more behind
ADALINEMy eyes stuck to the bowl that the maid had placed in front of me, normally i would immediatly chugg the food down my throat but i could not even find the energy to even eat. i felt all eyes stare at me. The eyes of the maids, the eyes of Lord and Lady Thompson as well as Theodore and Melanie who just arrived at the table not too long ago. Theodore gets up from his seat, apologising to everyone in the table and immediately reaches for my plate. My eyes darts towards to him as i understand his mission. His spoon carries a spoonful of my food as he slurps the warm porridge. My eyes focused on his throat as his adam's apple bobs back and forth on swallowing. His tongue swirls round his entire mouth as he passes the food back to me. I felt even emabarassed, a small chuckle escaped from Melanie's lips, all attention moved towards her as she takes a spoonful as well."The food was already tasted. Although i can relate to the empress's concern." Melanie chuckled, her eyes wide with
ADALINE"I want your blood." Daemon revealed. I was expecting an audience with Grant, for me to leave Grant or some petty nonsense of sort. I turn my attention to Camila hoping she would give me some insight but her shrug was a harsh slap to the face. Camila was a witch not some woman of foresight.A small foglike gasp escape my lips, coherently I shot daggers at Daemon as he smirked at me."I-I mean, what exactly do you plan to use my blood for?" I stuttered, trying to keep my voice steady as I spoke. Daemon, or Julian, or whatever his name was, burst into a fit of laughter, his eyes gleaming with amusement."Demons need blood to maintain the form they possess," he revealed, his voice dripping with a sly, otherworldly charm. "You don't think I'm actually stuck in this body, do you?" He chuckled, his shoulders shaking with mirth."You did the same with the knight who killed my child," I spat, my voice venomous with accusation. I was seething with anger, refusing to let him gloss over
ADALINE Camila's face grew with concern, her eyes sukken and her brows droopy. I may have mistaken the look on her face to that of someone who might be sleepy but it's been bothering me for a while. Camila would always defend Grant whenever I utter a single distaste about him. My concern didn't stem from their closeness it was inevitable, they must have bonded during my absence in slumber. But why did Camila suggest the ring? What is this talks about demons? I had only told her about my dreams relative to the mishap that had happen recently. It cannot just be merely a coincidence. "Camila." I clicked my tongue, swallowing my saliva. "Why is the Hazem ring so important?" My question threw her off, her eyes wondering the entire room but my face. Worry grew, her eyes widened and her nose seemed to scrunch upward a bit. Then her face relaxed but her eyes still simmered in concern. "Once you get the ring you will surely understand my Luna." Camila said, extending her hands as t
NYLAThe night had turned into a disaster, a far cry from the triumph I had in mind. I had dressed exactly like Adaline, down to the last detail, hoping to provoke a reaction from Grant. But he had barely even noticed me, his indifference a slap in the face. And to make matters worse, the noble ladies who had once fawned over me had switched allegiance to Adaline, openly mocking me with their snickers and whispers.I seethed with anger and humiliation as I made my way out of the auction, my eyes scanning the crowd for a target for my frustration. That's when I bumped into a tall, manly figure, his broad shoulders and chiseled frame making my heart skip a beat. For a moment, I forgot about my anger, my gaze locked onto the mystery man's masked face, wondering if he might be handsome underneath.But before I could even open my mouth to lash out, he walked past me like I didn't exist. The dismissal stung, and I felt my anger and hurt boil over. This was Adaline's fault, he must have seen
GRANT The Hazem ring was an heirloom gifted to my mother by my father. Most stories going about the ring claims you can use it to see Demons. That ring was just my mother's wedding band. So I don't understand how someone could spend that much on it for a bit."Didn't I give you the ring to rid off years ago?" I frowned at Georgiana as she scoffed. "Maybe I was holding on to it as a sign of our friendship, you ungrateful bastard." I will never hear the end of it now."And you think to finally poach it off now?" I asked shaking my head in disappointment."Maybe it's some sort of sign your highness. Even your wife seemed interested in the rumors of the ring." I looked over to where she was sat with Camila who I finally caught staring back at me as if she's been waiting for our eyes to meet."The ring." She mouths pointing at Adaline and turns the moment the message was delivered."Great, your baseless rumors seemed to have caught the interest of my wife." I groaned thinking of how I wou
ADALINE The entire room remained silent, I froze as if any step I took might have led to my impending doom.Nyla froze as well, her expression unreadable of what she would do next."Stay away from me." I warned her as the mummurs ensue. It didn't matter if everyone here spoke bad about me, if they see it fit for Nyla to joke about the loss about my child I didn't need their admirations. It felt as if every single thing I tried to do was set to fail in the first place, why was I willingly walking into a trap?"Lady Nyla, that's too harsh, don't you think?" Camila interjected, her voice laced with a mix of concern and warning. But I was beyond reasoning, my anger and hurt boiling over like a pot about to overflow.Before Camila could continue, I raised my hand, my eyes flashing with a fierce intensity. "Enough, Camila. I don't need your protection." My voice was low and even, but the rage burning within me was palpable.But Camila was just getting started. Her eyes blazed with a fierce
