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 80Jayden pov“Is that all?” I asked him as I placed my bleeding thumb on the agreement paper before him. His eyes held no emotion as he lifted the paper off the table, then looked in my direction and nodded. “Fine, we leave now,” I said and he stood.I changed into a black dress and so did my uncle, then we walked through the back door into the underground passage that leads outside.We crawled out of the hole and met ourselves outside the palace then we began to walk, then transformed into our wolf form and ran until we got to the canopy of trees that lined up the entire forest.“Is this the brothel?” I asked and my uncle nodded Then I swallowed hard and tried to walk away but my uncle held me back by resting his hands on my shoulders and grinning.“Think before you do anything reckless, Jayden. This antidote is what your mother needs to restore her health.”I frowned and said. “I’m not a toddler you don’t have to act like my father.” I gritted my teeth and began to walk aw
Chapter 79Jayden povKick! Kick!“What do you mean he doesn't want you to be around when his mother is being treated?” My brows winged up at him, while he trembled profusely.“He-he…” he was stuttering, his eyes blinking. My foot dreadfully approached him slowly, while he staggered back, his eyes fluttering as I glared hard at him.While his back hit the wall, I stopped and saw a flicker of relief crossing over his face.It was so quick, he didn't see it coming as I threw a knife in his direction which slightly cut through his cheeks and pierced the wall.His body froze, eyes not blinking. I had to cover the distance between us and grabbed him by his neck, only then did he stir to his consciousness.A glint of begging for survival flashed in his eyes, tears poured freely, and mucus. He even peed in his pants.The black in his eyes had already rolled to the back as only the whiteness was showing. “I dare you not to bring me some drugs for today then I’ll ensure I cut your family one
Jace povChapter 78I don’t know how but all I could say was that the wood froze in the air when I had spread my hands, and imagined it froze.My hands were trembling. It felt as if I was lifting a rock. An unending ache strikes in my spreader hands.No! I grunted in pain, praying in my heart that the matriarch would just leave in time before the wood would drop.I already gotten myself into a hideous spot so as Mia.Immediately, the door cleak close, I had my hands retracted and the wood dropped.Oh no, it dropped on Haggai’s head. I wasn’t aware that he was also leaving.He stared up, and squeezed his nose in disgust while his other hand clung to his head tightly,He cursed and spat before heading out of the hall.“Haggai is really Jessica’s son? Is this a joke?” there was a hint of disbelief in her tone as she questioned me.Well, I didn't answer her cause a lot if thoughts were scrambling in my mind. Mia tugged at my arms and I shushed to be still.I turned to her. “Mia tell me y
Chapter 77Jace povA low growl tugged at my throat. My beast were threatening to rise to the surface. “Kill her!” Its voice rumbled in my ears and filled my head.Kill her?Does it mean the person I’ve been fighting with was a female? No way I’d throw my punch if actually she’s a woman. As my opponent lunged forth to kick me, I grabbed the leg and swirled it until I heard it, her soft scream.I let go, but pinned her against the floor. My lips a few inches away from her.Those tiny eyes peeled out of the open space of her mask.Her scent wafted my nose and gosh, I feel so irritated at the moment not that she was stinking but at the realization that it was Mia.“Fucking bitch!” I muttered under my breath. Rolling off her while she took off her mask and grinned at me hardly.“Don’t tell me you’re so weak in martial combat?”“I wasn’t allow to practice martial art or any form of fighting. I was forbidden from doing so.” I pushed myself up from the floor.“So in case you’re being attack
Chapter 76Jace POVIt’s past five days and from the report I’ve gotten. Haggai hadn’t step a foot out of his house, or make a suspicious movement.I had volunteered this night to spy on this house and checked if there was any hidden tunnel or a sewage pass, supposing he’d been sneaking through.Mia wanted to accompany me, but hell no I allowed that noisy leech follow me around.I’m convinced I’d utter words to shatter her morale supposed she sticks around me. I can’t fathom why I do that all the time.Deliberately, taunting her with her past mistake. Believe me when I said, I fight all the time to resist the urge to taunt her with those silly mistakes.For the last three days, I’ve been frequenting this library as if I was coming to read. I’d choose the upstairs, and tossed some reasonable coins in the chief guard hands who’d lead me to a private room.I’d ensure it was at the last floor, cause the library was a three storey building. A old monastery library that was named after the
Chapter 75Jace povMia drew in a deep breath. “It’s fine.” Came her swift response, and the rolling of her eyes.“I’m not joking.” I snarled.Lips flat, she shrugged her shoulders before nodding her head.“I’ve never been hapless and rejected in life not until I met you, Jace.” Thick silence hung in the air at her last words. She eased herself in her chair, and smoothened her hair. “I just hope one day I did find someone who will find me worthy of their unending love, who will be so obsessed with me.”She puffed out some air.My fingers tapped on the table, as I nodded. “I’m sure you gonna find it one day but definitely not me. I sucked at loving and being obsessed.”Her eyes widened at me, a small chuckle and twisting of her heart shaped lips. Mia lips parted as if she was going to utter some words, but threw her hands in the air unable to form the words.“You okay?” I raised my brow at her.“Sure!” she nodded and heightened her shoulders.I checked her out, patiently waiting for her
