RhaegarShe was killing me. I was dying inside. I hated seeing her cry. Nalya was begging me not to do this, but later she would thank me when she was happy away from here. Nalya was confused, shaking her head and closing her ears. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I chanted in my head. "You're a kid, a rogue who is not strong enough to lead by my side. The people won't accept a rankless wolf as their princess," 'What happened to be gentle, asshat,' my wolf spat. I blocked him out. Nalya zoned out after my words. I didn't know what she was thinking. I cupped her face, and she looked at me with an empty gaze. "I didn't choose to," she repeated, those words fucking broke me, and I wanted to hug her. I noticed she excessively rubbed her wrists together and breathing heavily. I tried to calm her in a soothing tone; "I know, Nalya, this is hard for me too, however, it's the right decision," "It's right for you. You're just embarrassed that the mighty prince of wolves is mated to a lowly rogue," s
Warning: This includes self-harm. Read at your own risk. Nalya The ache in my chest grew, and my wolf was silent. I couldn't feel her anymore after she said she needed some time to accept the rejection like he wanted. I cried when I remembered my mate rejected me. I tried to sleep off the pain in my heart, but it was still there. I got a razor blade and cut my inner thighs. It was a habit of mine growing up. Self-injury helped me cope with emotional pain and sadness. It brought me a sense of calm and relief. I made the same pattern I always did, going deeper and deeper into my skin this time. I sighed in relief as I continued my action. I closed my eyes, feeling better now. I threw the razor blade away and looked at my inner thighs. They were bleeding. As always, guilt washed over me, and I cried again, feeling helpless. In the evening, I got up as I was supposed to clean the kitchens, but Madam Royce stopped me and offered me a hot meal. I was back in my room, sitting by the win
Nalya "Nalya, the best thing you can do is accept my rejection and leave this place forever, and if you want more money, I'll give it to you," he said, and left me with a shattering heart. I fell to the ground, crying. My mate didn't want me. I wasn't good enough for him. Those words pierced me like a double-edged sword. 'Stop crying. It is pathetic to cry for a man who doesn't want you,' my wolf said sharply, surprising me. 'He said I'm not good enough,' 'Get up, go back inside, and take a long shower, then we'll accept his rejection when we see him,' she was determined. Something had snapped in her. 'B- But...' 'We'll be fine. You'll be alright, human,' 'No, I won't. I want him,' 'Well, he doesn't.' Members of the pack were now coming out and quickly stood up and went inside. I saw Uria and two guys in my direction as they went for training. I almost turned to leave, but I was too late. "Hey, rogue!" She called. I wasn't in the mood to tolerate her bullying today
Nalya"It's no problem," they said. I saw the supervisor, and unlike what Azura said, the interview was not straightforward, but he gave me the job, and I was to start the next day. I went out to tell them the good news, and they were happy for me; "Such a shame today is Monday. We could have gone out to celebrate your new job." "Since when has that stopped you," Zac said."Since I failed three subjects and repeated the whole year," she scowled. "We should celebrate next week on Saturday," she said. I nodded. I spent the next few days quietly. I did my duty in the pack house and went to the country club. The club was always busy and affluent people went so I got tips. A woman gave me fifty just for telling her which hat was more flattering on her. I hope to have enough money by this month's end and leave for the human town Azura told me about. It was not far from here, but it was a good start. "The men by the pool want drinks," my boss told me. I frowned and bit my lips, not to
RhaegarI was worried when I didn't find Nalya at the pack house. My heart almost left my chest. I was relieved to hear that Nalya went to town to work. However, I didn't like that she worked there, knowing that the males would openly ogle her because who wouldn't? She was nothing short of perfection.I was left with an overwhelming edge to see her, and when I did, I was instantly calm. Her golden hair cascaded down her perfect breasts, and her lips twitched into what resembled a smile. I approached her, but Antonia suddenly came out of nowhere to kiss me. Nalya ran away, and I didn't follow her. What would I have told her? "What was that?" I growled at Antonia. "Helping you," she said. "With?" "I know she's your mate, and you rejected her. It may help her accept the rejection," Anger consumed me at her words, but I composed myself. "My life is none of your fucking business, and stay away from me," I growled. Tonia was a good fuck, but she was too involved in my life. "I was- jus
NalyaI dreaded going downstairs in the morning after what happened last night. I wore a large shirt and sweatpants. I made it to the common area. Everyone turned to me and whispered to each other. As I went past them, they were apologizing to me. I wasn't expecting this reaction at all. Arms wrapped around me as I stepped out. I turned around to hug Azura, " Zac told me what happened last night. I'm sorry those little brats did that to you," "Yeah, don't worry when they get out of the dungeons. We are shunning them," One of Azura's friends added with a smile. "Thank you, but you don't have to do that for me," I said quietly. "Oh, trust me, it will be fun ruining their reputation. No one will remember them when they come out," Azura said. I rested my head on her arm, and she stroked my hair like a sister would. My heart seemed at ease. As I chatted with the girls, I saw the Prince, and my breath hitched. No man was as beautiful as Rhaegar Silvius. He was mighty and more. He tore h
NalyaThe next day was Saturday. It was the day Azura, and I would go to a club. I was apprehensive because I'd never been in one before. I was going to get ready at her place, and she told me I shouldn't worry about clothes because she already bought me a dress and shoes. She picked me up from the pack house. Azura was excited for tonight as she told me about the new club. "I've never been to one before," I said, and her eyes widened but shrugged her shoulders. "Don't worry, you'll like it," she said. We pulled into a beautiful two-story house and got out. She dragged me upstairs to her bedroom. "Azura, you have a beautiful room," I told her, taking off my cardigan. "Thanks," she smiled. She disappeared for a minute and came back with a huge black bag. "Our dresses and shoes!" she announced, overly excited. I checked inside and pulled out two black dresses. One had a plunging neckline, and the other an open back. They were similar but had different designs. "I'm not wearing th
Nalya We followed Zac inside the club. It was already 9 pm. Music was blaring, and people were drinking. "Zac got us a private lounge. Isn't that cool?" Azura whispered in my ear. I looked around. The place was so lively. "Here," Zac pushed the two glass doors open. "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Nalya!" I covered my mouth with my hand. About a dozen people from the pack were there with balloons in their hands and standing in front of a big cake. "Azura," I was choking up a little. "I know it has been two weeks since your birthday, but I wanted to throw you a party," I was emotional and wanted to cry. Azura grabbed my arm. "Don't dare fucking cry right now and ruin that makeup," she said. I breathed in and out. "Thank you so much, guys!" I said. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU," they started to sing. "Make a wish!" they cheered. I closed my eyes and made a wish; PEACE. I wanted serenity in my heart. I blew out the candles, and they clapped. Everyone was having fun and drinkin
Five years later. " Are you excited, baby," I asked my daughter. She turned away from the mirror and gave me a broad smile. " Of course! Nana is coming!" she squealed. Mom went on an expedition and has been traveling for six months. My kids miss her a lot, even though they Skype every day. She spoiled them with gifts and trips. That's one of the reasons they longed for her. " Stand up, I want to see your dress," She stood and twirled, " Mama, do you like my Rupenzel dress?" " I do, my darling," The Rupenzel dress was lovely on her, it took Stan months to design it as she wanted, and Elara was hands-on as well. My daughter loved designing and creating. In her short life on earth, she has walked many times on top of the children's runways by prominent designers. For Elara's fifth birthday, we threw a vast princess party in the garden so all her friends would attend. She was smiling from ear to ear, and when we reached the garden, everyone shouted Happy Birthday. All her friends su
NalyaMy wedding was lovely and private. A month after the wedding, we went to an island and stayed there for our honeymoon. We were back in the pack, and my duties as Luna were challenging because I had to balance being a mom of two kids." Mama! I want a cookie." " Me too!" Elara clapped. My kids are a ball of energy, and they enjoy playing together." I'm coming!" I called out. He and his sister were in the salon, playing with toys while I prepared dinner for us. " Dada, Dada!" I heard two little voices squeal in excitement, and a smile formed on my lips. Rhaegar was back from work. They were talking in the salon, and soon, I felt Rhaegar's presence behind me. He wraps his arms around my waist, " How was your day, my love?" Rhaegar asked. "Afterward, I took Khai to Jon's party and attended a meeting for the newly challenged foundation. Then, I had to go to the border for the open market. I almost collapsed in tiredness," I complained, turning around to face him." After dinner
NalyaTwo Years Later Rhaegar pushed me against the wall as his lips descended on my neck. My hands went to his hair, touching it. " I love you," he chanted, " I love you," He carried me in his arms and placed me on the bed gently. I spread my legs for him, and he tore my lingerie, leaving me utterly bare to his eyes. His gaze is dark with lust, and my fingers trail his torso, my folds dripping as he bends to kiss me again. I locked my legs around his waist and pressed him closer to me. " Ah fuck," he moaned as he entered me. I grabbed his shoulder and kissed him again. The pleasure was overwhelming me, and I closed my eyes, focusing on it. My body was shuddering as he pumped into me. His guttural sounds made me needier. I screamed his name as his thrust in me got savage. I could feel his wolf close, " Yes," The pleasure was getting too much for me, and soon, I reached my pinnacle, but he didn't relent in his movement, fucking me harder and faster. "Hm," " Fuck," He stilled i
The tension in the car was discernible, and I was failing to breathe. I was glad when we reached Halsey's new mansion. The driver opened the door, and my mate and I linked arms as we went to the door. A servant welcomed us. She bowed and smiled. I could hear chatter and soft music coming from another room. Halsey's mansion was elegant. By its decoration, I could tell she was a woman of style. The walls were covered with captivating paintings. " My prince, Luna, welcome. This is my temporary home until the estate is ready," she said, kissing both of us on the cheek. I peered at her outfit, a lovely cocktail dress with a low necklace. " You have a lovely home," I said. " Thank you. Let's go to the party room; everyone is there," she said, and we followed her. We reached the room and found a dozen people of high rank. They all bowed when they saw us. " Are you good?" Rhaegar whispered. So, now he wanted to speak to me after being silent the whole ride here. I nodded, not looking at
alyaI rushed back home to see Ella, but she wasn't in her suite. I went to the typical high official area, where only the alpha, beta, and gamma stayed. I found Kendrick and Laika making out on a couch. They parted when they sensed me. " Hi, Luna!' she waved. Laika had been in an excellent mood since she mated Kendrick. I could see the bulge in Kendrick's pants. I averted my gaze, and his laughter resounded across the room. " Sorry for interrupting you. Shouldn't you be doing that somewhere else?"The gamma wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close." We could, but we don't plan these things. Came here for a movie, and our son ended up leaving with cusses," he shrugged. I rolled my eyes. They had scarred that poor boy enough, and he was so young! " I was looking for Ella," I murmured, walking away. " Are you alright?" Laika asked, concerned. " Yes," I answered and walked back, but stopped. Kendrick and Rhaegar have been best friends since they were in diapers! He must know
NalyaAnother month went by, and my therapy was going well. My mate and I hadn't been too close or slept in the same bed. I slept in my son's room every night. He was becoming as miserable as I was, but fear was stopping me from going to him. After my session at the hospital with Tonia, I passed by his office building, I missed him and wanted to have coffee with him. All the employees saluted me; I went straight to the top floor and to his office. My heart was pounding as I neared it. I pushed the door open, but to my utter shock, my husband was in the middle of the office, dancing and giggling with a woman. They stopped when they saw me and stepped away from each other. I was frozen and opened my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. I felt pain in my chest at how they were interacting. Rhaegar smiled at me fondly, but I could tell he was apprehensive. " Babe," he walked to me. The woman was gorgeous and tall. She, too, smiled at me, and her smile was graceful and kind. " I didn
Rhaegar covered my body with a towel and took me out of the bathroom, putting me on the bed. He removed the hair covering my face and wiped the tears from my face. He frowned and kissed my forehead. " I'm sorry," he muttered, kissing me again. I brought my hands to my face and inhaled. I felt uncertain about life and void. I was nullified, and I hated feeling this way. My mate tried to hug me, but I coiled away, not wanting him close for a while. His heart hammered in his chest, and he looked fearful. I didn't want him to think he did something wrong. I just needed some time from him. ' I think I want to be alone for a while,' I croaked. " Nalya, I don't-" he began to protest, but I stopped him' Please, I need this. Just for a while,' He nodded, frowning. He gave me clothes, and I wore them. I was discharged from the hospital in the evening after the doctor ran tests. The car ride back to the packhouse was quiet. I was feeling restless for some reason but keen to see Khai. My g
Rhaegar, I rushed to wrap my arms around her. Nalya was shaking as she cried. I wanted badly to take away her pain. I just held her until she calmed down. We were silent for a long time, me trying to control the rage inside my chest. " Where is he?" her voice was still scratchy, and I could tell it hurt to speak. She didn't need to say his name for me to know whom she was talking about. " Dead, I ripped him apart," " Good," she muttered. She inhaled and wrapped her arms around me. She was still trembling. We stayed in the hospital, and I ordered food to eat. Nalya didn't want so I forced her, but she only had liquids. She was deep in thought when the door opened, and Azura and Kiyana rushed in. I was pleased to see them because they would distract Nalya from her dark thoughts at least. They hugged her, making her wince, and I growled at them. They pulled away and smiled tightly before all spoke at once, telling her what had been going on in the pack and with everyone. " Uria and
Nalya It hurts. I'm in pain. My body feels like it's on fire, yet I'm numb. What happened to me? My eyes couldn't open, I tried, but I was stuck in darkness. I didn't want to be in darkness, but I couldn't help it. I stopped fighting it and allowed it to envelope me. I could hear a conversation. " Doctor Lewis! the results are back... " " Hmm. Infection... Sepsis?" The voices were getting distant. Faint growls are resounding as I completely fall into the dark again. The tingles.. they make me feel alive and warm. Suddenly it's not too cold. My heart was not racing. I felt at peace, my mate was there, and only he could give me this serenity. I miss him, I want him to hold me, to kiss me. ... " Khai, mama is getting better," That's my mate's voice. He speaks so lovingly. Khai? Where is he? I want to see my son. This time, I fought my hardest to find the strength to open my eyes. Light enters my eyes, and I blink a few times, it makes a moment for my vision is become clear. I'm
