Chapter one
I sprinted through the stony path with my feet creating some thudding sound.
There was only one spot in my mind at the moment which is the rooftops. I needed to run, I needed to put a stop to all this scandal and ill fate surrounding my life.
"Suicide!"The word resonated in my brain.
While I was on the rooftop, my chest suddenly become heavy because of the hidden pain within it.
"Arrg!" I screamed into the air with the echoes of my voice remixing with the waves.
"This world is cruel!"
"You are not valued or loved unless your parents are influential and powerful in society."
"What wrong have I committed other than the burnt scar on my face? why do they keep mocking me? Why am I ugly Selene?" I cried out. Fighting hard to prevent the trail of salty hot tears which were seeking a path to escape my eyes.
"Selene why did you have to create me to be ugly?"I broke down in tears, sobbing loudly.
The moments of how my mother had passed away gently flooded into my head, playing at a great speed.
I was depressed at the moment, I wanted to die. My plan of coming over to this rooftop was to jump down and kill myself because they keep laughing at me, undermining me, and framing me for things I had not done simply because I was ugly.
But I won't do that now.
"I wanted to kill myself but..."I paused, breathing out at a fast pace. "But I won't, because my mother's death must not be in vain."
I became quiet, staring into the blank space of nature, inhaling the oxygen into my lungs.
Not long after I had spoken, I heard a loud sigh behind me. Someone was clearing his throat, my body became still as my mind trembled around with my body making a 180-degree turn.
My heart stopped voluntarily at the sight of the man at an edge whose whole attention was on a book. It seems like he was sketching some things.
"You have to leave now." My inner wolf whispered.
I reluctantly dragged my body along with my frail feet but stopped when he said, "aren't you dying no more?"
I pursed my lips into a thin line, whirling to check him out.
He raised his head, his hazel eyes clashing with silver, dark curly hair, arched eyebrows, round cheekbones, sharp jaw, and pointed nose. He was handsome!
He squeezed his face, then it dawned on me that I have been checking him out. I darted my gaze elsewhere.
"Your mother's death in vain?"He scowled, arising from his sitting position.
"How does it concern you, sir?" I didn't know where the boldness came from when I said this.
His face flared up, I pinched the bridge of my nose to be certain I hadn't gone nut. There was a few moments of silence that made my skin crawl, and tense. Despite how I had no idea about his identity or what might be done to me.
I mean his physique was like that of the royal family or Noble but I was just a slave sent as tribute.
His feet began proceeding towards me in a slow tiny step until he was right before me.
"What did you just say?" A slight frown settled on his striking features, his voice filled with sarcasm and fury.
At his questions, my lips trembled uncontrollably, as my gaze trailed behind him before connecting with his again. I felt an electrifying wave rushing through my veins.
"Dumb?"He gave a light chuckle.
I felt intimidated by his presence, my wolf succumbed to this. I had to lower my head in defeat as all my boldness all gone down to drain.
"They laughed at you because you're..."He trailed. My eyes widened at his words, my heart thumped under my chest for his unspoken words.
"You're ugly?" "Hmm... Let me check." He paused, taking his time to cross-check me, his long, gracious fingers lifting my chin, after staring to his satisfaction he gave a smirk and retracted his finger.
He used the finger which he had used to lift my chin to scrape against his robe. "Indeed, they weren't lying. You're such an ugly duck. Never cross some path with me or else..." He paused, casting me a belittling look.
As he stomped past me, his rigid shoulders brush against mine. I turned to have a proper view of his back appearance.
He stopped and in a blink, I had to hide my face. He broke the last camel, "go on and kill yourself."
My heart made a sharp ring. I almost fall at his words. It was as if I was hit by a moving carriage.
"Kill me?"
***
Was I going to kill myself just because this man had said to do?
I watched him varnish into the extreme. My once stiffened heart becomes softened at that moment, a mixture of tears and snot streamed through my face in rivulet and there was this kind of feeling burning within me.
I was saddened!
Depressed!
Ten times worse than how I used to be whenever they scorned me. Why do this man's words hurt me so badly?
Why was my heart writhing in pain just because he had told me to go on and kill myself?
Who is he?
I muffled in my catarrh and wiped off the tears on my face. I had to return to the palace to carry on with my task.
*"*"
As I passed through the hallway, a lot of whispering was resounding in my ears. Their gossip, and backbite but those don't freak me anymore. I'm already used to them so I build my heart to be rigid.
"She's a fuckin bitch!"
"Yes, she looks ugly. How dare she try to acquaint herself with lady Elena that they are family! Elena is so beautiful and clear like the vibrant sky."
I nipped toward the direction of the voice but then, they pretends as if they were busy. I turned back to walk when someone bumped into me.
I raised my head in a bid to know whom it was.
Chapter 59Jace pov“Are you sure of what you're saying?” I asked, Mia nodded her head, her lips pursed.I didn't utter any but sighed and walked towards her. I wrapped my hands around around her neck and tightened my grips, releasing a tip of my monsters to her as i lifts her in the air.Her eyes rolled up, and her legs dangled in the air. Her fingers scratching against the back of my hands, choking.“If you ever think you could play with me. I won't hesitate to kill you and toss your head to the rogues to eat.” I let go of her and she dropped to the floor, gripping her neck as she gasped for breath.“Trust me.” she said in a choked word, her eyes narrowing.“When?” “Their meeting point is by nine. I received an intel that one among the prisoners which General Catalina had brought was one of them. Though it's unknown to General Catalina.”“After this eliminate whatsoever source is giving you all this intel. I don't want you to be caught up in any royal scandal.”She chuckled and ti
Chapter 58Jace pov"I've got some news for you Jace." Mia's cunning voice. Her steps pushed from my behind to my front view and she flashed those white set of teeth at me, resting her hands on my shoulders."I forbid you from touching me, Mia," I growled.Mia smiled, lips pouted before she glided down her hands away from my shoulders. She's beautiful and would have been worthy of my life if only she hadn't pulled up such stunts that ended up costing a lot of lives."Don't you think you could drag me into your dirty thoughts, cunning witch?" I brawled and stepped away from her side to the window side."Remember I mentioned that I'll help you become so powerful?" she said, approaching the flower vase in a snake move."You would help me become powerful yet you couldn't help your parents from dying and your maid?" I countered, my gaze fixed on the lower floor. I watched how the people in the palace moved on with their daily activities. The entire length of the kingdom is built near th
Chapter 57Ann pov“I don’t want to see anyone. Leave me! Go away from me.” I screamed at them.The sisterhood. The moon goddess and the sympathizer forces have been tormenting me.Beseeching me to become the queen and I won’t. I just want to be alone.“Why didn’t you save SuGa?” I yelled into the air.“If we had saved her. You would still be relaxed. She’s dead now and you have to remember her last will. She needs you to become the queen and protect her kingdom from the forthcoming war.” Selene, the moon goddess said in a whisper but my face was turned to the other side.“I want you out of my life. I don’t wish to save anyone. If there’s anyone I’m going to save it’s going to be SuGa.” I seethed.“Next tomorrow is the last day for you to upgrade your status. Once you let this opportunity slip past your hands then I’m afraid that you might die miserable and a loner.” Selene uttered, her voice calm.“Miserable and loner?” my Jose twitched in disgust. Is that what you were supposed to
Chapter 56Jayden povMy eyes scanned across the numerous brown notes for the hundredth time as my uncle Hagai was busy singing my mother’s praise.It was a letter from the royal family with gifts. They all want me to consider their daughters as a first choice.“Sister, what do you think about these gifts and letters? Isn't time you think we ditch that girl from that pack to one of the elite’s daughters?” Hagai, my uncle spoke, swerving his hands towards the gifts and letters.My mum was calm, seated but I knew she was thinking and at the moment she might be confused.“Sister! Sister!” Hagai stopped shouting the moment my mother held her hands in the air.She swirled her neck from her left to face my uncle. “So far we've received fifty letters from affluence families and I've only seen potential in two leagues here.”“Who could that be?” My uncle asked.“The daughter of the Elite Roshan. Naval General of the West Sea and the daughter of the minister of finance.” Hagai’s eyes flicked
Char 55Jace povIt's already four days and she's yet to get up from her deep slumber. Though I understood, her friend was killed but the friend was a traitor.If it hadn't been them dead it would have been the royal house and the capital, Australia being drenched in blood.My uncle is so desperate to live longer. Longer than anyone.As usual, I stepped away from her cell, turning to leave for my chambers when I bumped into General Catalina, the fiercest and ruthless ruler of the north boundary, a woman of few words.I bowed, and he returned the pleasantry. I lifted my eyes to behold her dark pair of eyes, they were full of darkness.Sometimes I'm left to argue and convince myself that General Catalina isn't a pure werewolf. The snake's tattoo on her body and face always gave me goosebumps.She strode past me, towards the slave's cell. I trembled and turned only for our gaze to honed.I bowed and hurried away. I'm never allowing anyone in this palace to know my weakness.Oh, is she my
Chapter 54Ann I was taken to a room where my clothes were ripped off my body, and my body was pushed aggressively into the bathtub full of water.Before I could open my lips to wince, a harsh scrub came into contact with my skin. The maid showed no mercy as they scrubbed every inch of my skin until everywhere became reddish.Rough and sharp nails combed into my hair, scratching my scalps, and the fragrance of neem soap caught my nose as it poured on my head and cascaded to my forehead, water accompanying it.Soon they were done and I was dressed in a sack of clothes, shackles encircling my wrist. I was dragged and taken out of the bathroom.A man stopped in the way and held out some coins to the supposed captain. The captain grinned and waved with his hands for the other guards to leave me behind.They left and it was just me and this man whose aura was deadly and was spreading death.Maybe I was going to die now even before the trial will begin.He looked at me and stepped aside. I
Chapter 53Ann povI was down on the stony linoleum, my knees pulled inwardly to my chest, and my chin way above them.My body was boiling up with fever. I felt the heat, it was emanating from inside my tummy to my outside tummy. My throat was dried and clogged with a non-existing lump which serves as an endless pain, connecting with my head.My head pounded, my teeth clattered and my fingers trembled nonstop, yet I was concealed in a thick moisture.I heard some sounds outside my cell door and even if I had wanted to peek, my neck was stiffened so I couldn't risk stealing a glimpse.The steps deepened in a great noise and sent some cold chills down my spine as they approached me.My body tensed and I knew the person was beside me, darkness and anger emitting from his or her body. If looks could kill, the glare that was boring into my skin pores would have pierced through my heart. But it didn't as its only effect was fear and trepidation which were affecting me seriously here.“Liste
Chapter 52Ann It didn’t take long before hands wrapped aggressively at my arms, their sharp fingers dug into my skin, and I was yanked up and escorted back to my cell.A cold and dark room with no bed. “Poor girl. She will be the scapegoat.” I heard their muffled gossip, and before I opened my mouth to talk they already hurried off.Suga? Execution? Trial? Shudder and weakness wracked through my body. ‘Dear Selene, even if it will cost my life, sight of anything let it be but save SuGa from any mischievous plans of the royal family.’ Though I was weak inwardly, I prayed to the moon goddess to spare SuGa.All of a sudden, my throat became sore and scratchy and my head got heavy. The pain intensified as it seemed something was trying to burst out of my head, maybe my brain.Maybe Selene already hears my pleas and the consequences for my prayer will be my brain or my beheading.Everything became foggy and empty, my head, eyes, ears…everything!Then an evil aura simmered in the air ma
Chapter 51 Ann pov I waited patiently for Suga’s return but I never saw her. Each time, the sounds of footsteps reverberated in the air in my cold cell. I always crawled to the corrugated iron door, pushing my head through the little space to see if I could see her. ‘She will come or she will be fine’ My instinct always whispers these words in my ears, each time Suga’s name pops in my head and anxiety washes over me. I prayed she was fine, whenever she was. My stomach hurt badly, my heart wrenched with pain and my throat became sore and itchy. I rested my head on the corrugated iron and never realized when I drifted into a deep slumber. A pain lodged in my thighs and my eyes peeled open to see the dim light from the window forcing its way through this empty room. Is it already a day break? I lowered my gaze to my thighs when the pain had registered deeply again, I bit my lips and cursed. My whole body was engulfed in tides of weariness and despair. I couldn’t even l
