Chapter 4
Elena's POV
Why is the world against me? I should have been treated like a princess!
Why would my mother-in-law and sister-in-law just keep detesting me?
"Ann!"I yelled out through my gritted teeth angrily, slapping the stuff on the table off angrily.
Jayden was staring hard at her and even mother in law tried to help her from being whipped by me.
"You deserve to die, not just die but to be buried alive!"
" I" cursed the day I knew you, Ann! You're such a mess and have always been bad luck to me!"
I stood breathing heavily, the veins underneath my skin were popping out due to the level of my anger. I threw off the ceramic vase which was stuck with the morning roses, they become a stepping sole under my light feet.
"Who is Ann?"The voice resounded in my ears, almost causing me a heart seizure. I had to suppress my chest with both hands.
I knew who had just spoken but I can't just face him now or else I'd sell myself out.
"Jayden, "I called, flashing him a flirtatious smile.
"Who is Ann?"He repeated with fury in his voice.
"Erm..."I stuttered, rubbing my palm against each other.
"Uhm...she's ... she's my sister."
"No, she's my maid. Maid like a sister." I spouted hastily to rectify my wrong utterance.
No one can know the fact that Ann was somehow related to me. It must be a secret. I can't allow the greater plans to be ruined by just my mouth, maybe someday I will have to cut off my tongue to be able to carry on with this mission.
I tried to put on my nice look to cover up my anxiety and nervousness but then, I became worried because of Jayden, his body language was off as he was calm and glaring at me like a beast trying to let go of its prey.
"What's wrong?"I simpered, striding towards him. My cheeks curled up into beautiful curves.
"Stop faking and get your fucking ass on the bed."
My eyes widened at his utterance. Get on the bed? I questioned myself inwardly, rolling my eyes at him. Why would he tell me much when he hasn't wed me? Though I love Jayden and would do anything just for him to love me back but my family legacy or ethics forbade sex out of wedlock.
"Why did you say that?"The questions flew out of my mouth. I gasped at the realization of that.
"Get on the bed now or..."He stopped halfway. His eyes were glimmering with viciousness.
"Or?" I inquired in fear and a broken voice, afraid that he may walk out on me and not talk with me ever.
This was a rare opportunity. Ever since I was sent over to crescent Moon Pack and introduce to him as his future Luna, he had never for once shown me any affection. He's always frowning upon my sight.
Jayden feet began to proceed toward me in a slow, tiny step. he stopped before my trembling body, pushing me in such an aggressive manner.
I had slumped on the bed with my head hitting hard against the headboard.
"Arrg..."I whimpered in pain, trying to adjust myself but he never permit me the luxury as he shredded my dress into tiny pieces of rag, revealing the fleshy meat on my chest.
His finger went straight to my underneath. They were rough and scratchy. They were like pines of needles causing me pain and discomfit as it clashes against my entrance.
In a blink, I felt two fingers sliding into me. I screeched, squeezing the bedspread within the grasp of my fingers.
He was rough, at every of his thrust I felt dehumanized. He never gave a damn as it was my first time. After minutes that felt like years, He rose shooting me a deadly glare before storming out of my room.
He should have at least waited behind to ask if I was okay since it was my first time but ...
Maybe I should visit his mother or go straight to take my bath?
I demanded wet napkins from my maid and used them to wipe off the blood stain around my woman.
I stared delightedly at my bed, my gaze fixated on the bedsheets which were drenched with my blood. A beautiful smile had curved up the corner of my mouth as the image from the moment of our sex escapade had replayed in my head.
"Take good care of that spread, do not burn it."
I walked through the hallway with my lifted head and shoulder and thought running simultaneously in my mind. Since he already took my virginity, I hope they began to pay me my appropriate respect.
He met me as a virgin. I chuckled over my thoughts, walking majestically like the princess that I was.
I stopped with my heart flying to my mouth when I heard something from Jayden's mom's room.
I tiptoed stealthily with my hands stuck to my mouth to cover up my breathing.
"How was it? Did you have sex with her? Was she a virgin?" Lady Jessica inquired in a sweet but low voice.
"Yes, she was a virgin but I do not love her."
At the hearing of that, I slightly pushed open the door so I could have a little view of the expression on Jayden's face. His face was in a state of displeasure and frustration.
"You have to love her."Her mother said, striding towards him.
"She's the girl with the Lycan's blood."His mother's words finally broke the camel's back.
"Mother!"He squealed with his hands stuck to the back of his head.
He had shocks written on his face as his mouth was agape. He continued to peer into his mother's eyes for seconds which look like hours before giving a chuck.
He shrugged his head flippantly giving a redundant laugh.
His lips were moving, I could not hear him. I intended to lean forward but my hands mistakenly push the door and their gaze immediately fell to my side.
My gaze and his mother's almost get honed, I was scared that I had to run away but then I heard some approaching sounds of footsteps comings over from the spot I was running to.
When I intended to turn back, the door pushed open.
"Oh goddess, I can't be caught. Eavesdropping to the conversation is a great sin which attract great pinnacle."
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
