Chapter 18Ann povI found myself in a dark world, staring like a lost sheep, I couldn't fathom the environment I was in.My feet were cold, I was shivering yet I felt fire on my skin, my lips trembled uncontrollably and when I rubbed my fingers against my dress, I caught a glimpse of a dark shadow.“Who is there?" I wanted to say but my voice hitched in my throat, and a surging of pain in there.Suddenly I felt the atmosphere getting tensed, the hair on my body standing at their will, a deadly presence behind me.I turned to look, and I saw a demon with large canine teeth whose appearance was more like a berserk vampire trying to inject me, and I screamed.My eyes flew open and shut back at that instant a sudden flash.“Where am I?" I shook myself but couldn't lift a limb.My hands seem to be heavy yet devoid of strength. I tried to bring it closer to my face but it seemed stuck to a surface.I felt cold. My heart is cold, almost frozen.Somehow I heard my name, a familiar voice. I f
Ann POVChapter 19The welts at my back melted, and I could hear the buzzing sounds of the flies behind me, they dared to perch on my back.I shrieked my body such the annoying flies could leave the sore injury on my back but I only hurt myself more because of the shackles that dug into my bare wrist.Isn't Jayden dead? Why haven't they returned to me; to complete their torture?Why is Suga not here?I couldn't help but think widely, but then I remembered I was a bit crazy, I should be thinking about myself.I was lost in my thoughts when I suddenly felt the heavy presence before me, the aura exudes danger and death. At the sight of their heavy footwear, I felt suffocated, and traumatized.I suddenly dropped dead to the icy ground, eyes parted, smoke emanating from my skin, I couldn't even lift a limb.“Do you think she's dead?" I heard them ask. They shoved their heavy footwear against my ribcage, yet no sounds or grunts escalated from my parted lips.“What does it mean anyway if she
Chapter 20Jace POV“We've wronged you, ruined your reputation, and caused you the opportunity to seize the throne.“ “If you don't mind, I can teach you to fight with a sword in exchange that you shielding my daughter's image from being ruined.“" You may have her to yourself as long as she's Hale and hearty.“ He was crying, his eyes were filled with fear, and disappointment.What a century joke! He wants me to protect his daughter's reputation while mine was destroyed?He was also going to teach me how to fight with a sword, he must have known I did not know swordsmanship.“I'll also teach you myself how to fight and defend yourself, archery and... His brow knitted against each other in worry.“Please," he pleaded, his knuckles white, his face pale.“Prepare my bath, and get me a maid to lay with." His mouth parted like he wasn't expecting me to say such.Jayden was the one who had always slept with anything under the skirt, he was bad, and I was trying in my way not to emulate his
Chapter 21 Ann POV When I woke up, I found myself clothed, the place I was warm. “Sister, you're awake?" A sharp feminine voice rang through my ears, and my heart thrummed under my chest. I nipped to behold a long gown without a body in it talking to me, I shrieked, startled at the sight. “Never to be startled Novartis!" She tried to pacify me but I wasn't impressed, she looked scary. “Novartis?"I shot a brow. “you must have mistaken me for someone else. Sorry." At my speech the aura in the room intensified, the atmosphere became heated, I suddenly had goosebumps, and the hair on my body standing against my will, a dark aura. “Nah Novartis! We are sisters, we live in peace and save our other sisters who are in pain.“ "I'm a werewolf, what's your species?" "Birdragon,” answered her with my heartbeat getting faster. “Witch?" I said with fear in my tone but I sensed she was laughing at my words but she was invisible. “Why laughing?" Asked me to satisfy my curiosity. “Able to
Chapter 22Ann POVPassing through the burning flames was hell, I felt an excruciating burning pain, the melting of my skin, yet it was intact. I saw myself in another new world, this time their face was visible. Younger girls whose emotions exude nothing but sadness, were thin, frail, and bony.I began to wonder how they were here, maybe they were trapped!Could this invisible robe be an evil spirit? I could not help but ponder.“Sit in that!" Her voice was harsh and compelling. I darted my gaze towards her poked fingers only to see a lot of boiling water with live python in it.Holy goddess! How would she expect me to sit with a live python?I was going to be reluctant but obliged without uttering a word, I stepped my foot inside the water, and the python turned to me with fierce burning eyes, and stuck its venom out but my face was mean; I was in for no drama! If I die, I die!As I sank my ass to the bottom of the pot, I felt terrible cold instead of getting burned. The water was
Chapter 23Ann POv“Sister, news! “The voice said swiftly,and in a panting state.“Harlow,”lady Jessica called in a faint tone. " It's better be a good news. Cause i know you always bring bad news to me.“" Sister, your words hurt. If you do not apologized,I'll kill myself.“The atmosphere hung in a heavy silence." Harlow get to the point,I'm no in for drama."“hmm," the other speaker heaved.“Good news but the bad is 70 percent, we could find way to help our arse.“ " I just got the news,that Shashi the daughter of Alpha Kingsley is alive.“I heard and I panicked at that. Wasn't because of Shashi that Jace was exiled? If she being alive became a truth, then her pack would be charged for treason.“You can't be serious!" “When was that?" Lady Jessica's voice trembled as she spoke, she paced behind me to and fro.“I'm serious sister, Right now I'm confounded." Harlow response was swift." If this ever gets to the ear of the supreme Alpha,I'm afraid our head would roll on the platter,and
Chapter 24 Jayden's POV When I wake up to behold the maid beside me, my feelings were aroused that I couldn't resist the urge to ignore her. I inquired from my mom,the hell which must have befallen me but she said; she'd tell me later. Now back to the present hot scenario which unfolded right in front of me. The ministers were seated giving us the outcome of the meeting they'd have with supreme king earlier. “I told you aunty that the goddess is on our side. Today or tomorrow would mark the end of viscount Kingsley.“ My Uncle, Harlow's voice disrupted the heavy silence which hung in the atmosphere. My mother face brightened at Harlow's words,and I could see the blush on her cheeks. “What did the king intended for the traitor?“ she inquired in a sharp tone. “ERM…” the minister of finance cleared his throat. " His grace wants Kingsley to come here in Green pack and explained how his daughter resurrected. If it's through magic, he would be executed! You know magic and witchcraft i
Chapter 25Jayden's POVI was overwhelmed at her helplessness situations. The way her eyes gawked out at the thrust in her honeypot, yet unable to moan out because my man was stuffed in her godamn mouth.“Puppy, you said; aren't scared of me." I thrusted in deeper with my cock and saliva from her lips drip down my man.“Don't worry puppy," my hand ruffled her tangled brunnete hair. My fingers pressed firmly,that I felt my nails sinking into her delicate head. “You'll enjoy it."“Crying now, puppy?" My lips twitched in a smirk,as I saw the tears streaming down her face.“You don't like it soft? You love it rough?" My brows furrowed tightly in askance,and her eyeslid drooped slightly.“How fast can you two ride a horse?" My voice was sharp, as they looked at me." Very fast, your highness!“ They replied." I need you both to ride tirelessly until she faint! And there's no life in her.“ As I spoke, my eyes was on her and I could see the resentments she'd harbored for me in her eyes.“Ouc
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
