At that moment, Lily was in utter shock as she slowly turned around to see Beatrice in front of her, as Beatrice had a deep frown on her face. "What exactly are you doing? Peeping on them? What exactly are you doing?" "Eavesdropping." "I told you to know your limit. And I told you to be very careful, mostly around my brother." "If he finds out that you are trying to be sneaky around the palace, he's going to make you regret it. And you are my friend, and I don't want you to regret anything like that," Beatrice said to her and looked around before pulling her hand as she dragged her away. Meanwhile, Lily was still in utter shock, at the same time trying her best to pretend and keep calm. Like whatever news she just had did not shock her. Like the fact that she now heard that Tobias could easily be taken from her. That Tobias did not belong to her alone and instead belonged to another girl. She was just an extra who was given to him because his main mates rejected him. Somethi
Meanwhile, back at the place where Tobias was banished, he was still sitting in the sitting room as Catherine was explaining everything to him. And it was still confusing to him because he refused to believe that he was a king. Not just any king, but Alpha to a very powerful kingdom. He always heard stories of how powerful Derek was, how he could rule everyone and even the pack that Lily belonged to.All those things frustrated Tobias as he stood up. “Can you guys just stop with this fake impersonation? I know that maybe you guys met me as an opportunity for me to impersonate someone, but I don't want to impersonate anybody. I don’t want to impersonate anybody. Okay, now you're telling me that I am someone named Toby who is the Alpha of a kingdom?”“Derek is the only son of his father, and his father is dead. His father is dead. I don't know what else you are trying to explain to me. I don't know why you are twisting the story, but it makes absolutely no sense to me because I don't b
At first, Tobias decided to wave the question and not even bother to ask her, but there was a way Cassie continued to act that made him a bit confused and interested in knowing why exactly she did not want him close to her. “There must be a reason why you don't want me close to you. Can you at least just let me know? Let me just know a little bit about what is going on,” he said to her as she laughed. “You don't need to know anything. All you just have to do is wait till you get to the hospital and your brain is scanned, and if possible, the doctors can amend back that brain of yours which we don't know the kind of accident or whatever torment you had to pass through that you lost your memory,” Cassie said, but Tobias could see it in her voice that she was angry. She was very angry, and it was obvious. Even though she was trying to hide it, it was still showing clearly in her voice that even Catherine, who was looking from the rear mirror, quickly noticed and turned around.“Cassie
While Tobias was keeping his loyalty to Lily things weren’t as expected with Lily, the love that couldn’t be broken was slowly being pierced and it mostly started from the moment she lost her bond with Tobias even though she never wanted to.Lily’s POVStanding in front of Alpha Derek I couldn’t help but feel vengeful and angry because all I could remember was Beatrice telling me about Derek’s curse as that explains everything that happened and why I was to be given to him.However, I know that these women were his previous mates which the cursed worked on and mine would be next. And to top it all immediately the wedding was sealed and my brother left he instantly made me a slave. I tried opposing but I was made a fool instantly and from being a princess I became a slave to Derek.I looked at him, "Alpha—""Silent!" He ordered and I flinched. My hands started shaking and my feet trembled uncontrollably. I was trying so hard to hold my breath so they wouldn't get him more pissed off.
Lily’s POVHmm. Is Alpha Derek the one saying all these? I asked myself, no, maybe it's my stupid illusion.How would I even explain to him that my brother had made my life a living hell just because my parents had died and left him to cater for me?I behaved as if I didn't hear what he just said but his deep baritone voice blared out again. Now, it is much more dangerous than before. "I said, how did you get all those marks on your body?" He says again. "I got them from my brother," I responded immediately, still in shock. He paused for sometime, rubbing his hands across my waist region upwards. As his hands trailed on my deep cuts, sensational pains started getting into my brain. I'm sure he didn't know those were still paining me, but what if he did? Would he even care? I started whining in another direction so he could shift his hand from them, which he did. "Get up!" His voice roared again. With the speed of light, I raced out of the bed. Trying to check for my clothes wh
Lily's POVShe lifted the girl and threw her outside, on the stony concrete ground. That was when she woke up. Her hands and legs were stiff as she tried shaking and I could hear her sniffing on the ground while the woman went to meet her again. She kicks her butt, "Get up from there now and run to the gate. Once I am done with these last girls, I do not want to meet you here."She turned to my cage with her hardened face and stern look, I flinched as our eyes met, and then I stood up, straightening my clothes as she opened the door. I ran out immediately. "Stop!" She said, and I paused in my tracks. What Happened? Did I commit anything? Questions fill my brain as she approaches me. She came in front of me with a suspicious look on her face. "Why are you smelling this way?" Huh? Smell? How did I smell? My forehead creases together as I cast a concerned look at her, "I am sorry ma. Please I do not understand your question?" I say, my voice shaking. "Your body reeks of a familia
"Oh!" I exclaimed, reaching for the clothes on the rays of the cell, and as I brought it out, a small towel fell off. That towel is one with the Royal badge. One which only Alpha Derek and his family members possessed. "Huh?" I gasped. She made a smirk and picked it up immediately. "So this is very good evidence that what I was saying is true.""No ma. Please, no ma." I knelt, trying to beg her but she shoved me off. "Shut that lying mouth of yours. I wonder why you think you can lie to a person like me. Do you think you can frame up a lie for me? You think so?""No ma. It wasn't intentional at all. I wasn't the one that put it there please." I pleaded, touching and grabbing her feet for mercy. She kicks and shuffles my hands out of her legs, "Get those hands off me now."I removed them quickly. Sniffing and sobbing silently. I wish I could tell her what Alpha Derek wanted to do to me yesterday but it's embarrassing to do so. If I should let her know, she might use it against me
Lily POVAs I awoke, I stretched my body from side to side. Bending my hands to my back and forward. My hands unknowingly touched my back, the same spot where the wounds used to be present but I felt no pain. This was strange. I paused in my acrobatics and tried putting my hands back there, touching it. But there were no painful feelings in it. The friction feelings that I had there were no more. I was startled. What happened? My wolf hasn't gotten to the stage of healing my wounds so rapidly, especially after these beatings I had received from the pack's prison yesterday. Besides, who does Alpha Derek think he is? What happened the day I came here was for what? I haven't even gotten the time to analyze my thoughts very well. I was yearning for his member inside of me. I do not know how a handsome beast could be a cursed one too. When he came close to me that day, I felt scared a bit but as he asked me to bend, My God! I was a bit excited and nervous at the same time. But he
Author's POVOn the verge of giving his judgment on Derek's case, the elders immediately stopped Tobias and said, “You can't judge his case. You have to be crowned as the king first before you judge the case.” And Tobias immediately agreed with them and said, “Okay, I'll judge this case after my coronation.”“So have you picked the dates for the coronation?” he asked the council members, but they replied, “We can't coronate you without you having a Luna yet. We don't want you to be a cause of trouble like them,” the council members said to Tobias. Tobias immediately stood up and walked straight to Lily. He held her hand and said, “She will be my Luna.” The council members looked at each other in surprise and said, “How far? She can't be your mate.”Tobias was shocked and asked, “Why? Why can't she be my mate?” Cassie stood up immediately and said, “Because you have a mate already. I'm your first mate, and as long as I'm alive and I'm not dead, Lily can't be your mate. I am your first
Author's POVSitting on the throne was Tobias, as his face displayed a mix of emotions. The elder members were discussing how to crown Tobias as the new king of the pack. But Tobias said to them, “You don't necessarily have to crown me as the king. Derek can also be the king, and besides he has been the one there since all these years. I don't really know about the affairs of being a king in a pack.” He said to the elders but the elders did not agree to what he said. “No. Derek has been acting crazy these past few months. He has been acting mad on the throne. The power given to him has been misused. He has not been serving the people well,” the elder member said. “We were even planning to dethrone him not quite long before you showed up, Tobias,” they added. Tobias looked at them in shock and was surprised that the council members were planning to dethrone Derek. It was shocking as to why they would do that. They explained that he was acting paranoid and crazy. Derek was shocked tha
Author's POVOut of happiness, Cassie hugged him tighter than before. And before she knew it, Tobias pushed her away. But Lily did not see Tobias pushing her away. Cassie was shocked as to why Tobias would push her away. But she composed herself. She didn't want others to notice that she was pushed away by Tobias. Lily started walking. “I’m going to Tobias. I want to go to him like I missed. I have missed him. Now to go and hug him very tight and never let go,” she said to Alpha Derek. But Alpha Derek was shocked and said, “How could you, Lily? I thought we saved our relationship already. Do you want to betray me? Do you want to betray me with Tobias just like you did with Darius? Isn’t it enough? I thought you said our relationship was important. I thought you loved me now. I thought you promised me that you would love only me and nobody else.” He said to Lily, but Lily was not buying any of it. “No, Alpha Derek, I was sold to you. You forced me to love you. You forced me to be in
Author's POV“You are welcome, Tobias. We've been expecting you. Okay, I'll be back shortly. I need to sort some things out inside.” Alpha Derek stormed inside the house angrily and went into his room immediately. He took his phone and dialed Alpha Ethan's number right away. He dialed Alpha Ethan's number, and he picked up the call after two rings.“Alpha Ethan!” “What? How dare you? You told me Tobias was dead. You told me you punished him to a place of no return. You told me that there was no way he's going to survive there? Where you punished him to. How come he's alive? How come he's standing before me? You confirmed he was dead to me. You…. You confirmed that there is no way he's going to come back to life. You said there was no way he's going to come out of that place alive. How come he's alive? Standing ill and healthy right here in front of me? What did you do? You said he was not going to come back alive. Now how come he's alive and healthy? He did not just come back alive.
Author's POVAlpha Derek was sitting on his throne inside the throne room and he was very perplexed. He was wondering, ‘Who could these people be? Who could this wealthy billionaire be that came into my park without me knowing? How could they come into this park without my knowledge?’” He wondered. He immediately called his Beta and said, “Get me Lily right now. I want her by my side when I'm receiving these visitors,” he said to them. He said to his Beta, but he told him, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Alpha, but Lily is not. Lily is not around right now. She's not in the palace.” He said to him, and Alpha Derek stood up in anger. “What? What do you mean Lily is not in the palace? Where could she have gone? Why didn't she tell me where she was going?” Alpha Derek shouted in anger, but his Beta told him that he didn’t know where Lily went, but she was not in the palace right now. Alpha Derek started pacing up and down inside his throne room and he was wondering, ‘Where could Lily be?’ He
Author's POV“Why the hell are you? Why the hell do you care about me now? I thought you were acting indifferent before. I thought you didn’t like me and you didn’t want me to be your mate. Why now? Why do you have to claim me now?” Tobias shouted at Cassie, frustration evident in his tone.Cassie immediately interrupted him. “I did not leave you! It was because we weren’t in our pack back then. Now that we are back here, in the palace, I have to claim you now, and I can’t leave you for Lily. You can never be with Lily Blackthorn,” she insisted.Tobias, visibly angry, looked at her with annoyance. “You don’t have to claim me. I can never love you. I can only love Lily and Lily alone. Lily is the one I love, not you. Even if you try to claim me, I am not going to fall in love with you,” he muttered angrily.Cassie was equally annoyed. She stood up in frustration and declared, “Whatever you do, Tobias, you will never leave me alone. I am your true mate, and there is nothing you can do a
Author's POV“Are you sure that you are ready to do this?” Catherine asked Tobias, and Tobias looked in that direction.“Yes, I’m very ready to do this, and I’m sure of what I’m doing right now,” he replied.Catherine looked in Cassie's direction and saw her putting on headphones. She turned back to Tobias and said, “You don’t have to worry about her. I know that very soon she’s going to come around, and she’s going to like you just like she liked you before.”Tobias responded, “I don’t really care about her. It doesn’t really matter if she comes around. I like Lily. As long as I have Lily there waiting for me, I am fine. I am okay with Lily alone. I don’t really care if she comes around and likes me again. Sincerely, I don’t want her to like me because I already like Lily, and I would like only Lily as my mate.”Meanwhile, Cassie was not really listening to her headphones. She thought to herself, ‘I don’t really have to say anything or act like I heard what they are saying. I have a
Maya’s POVI decided that even though I had already gotten to realize Darius's actual plan, I would still try my best to divert it and make him quit his plan. So I thought of the perfect words to use, and it finally came to me."Why do you want to kidnap her when you know that she still shares a very strong mate-bond with Alpha Derek? Her inner wolf can easily connect to him and tell him exactly where she is or where she thinks she is, or he could actually even sniff her out. It might take a while, but he would definitely find her. That's just the thing about meatballs that you know nothing about," I said to him as he laughed and began to knock his hand on the wheel like he was being frustrated and thinking of a way out. He turned to me swiftly and smacked at me before looking away."Who said I did not prepare for this? I have already prepared for all this in advance. I knew that something like this might cause a problem and he would be able to find out, but I am going to stop it, an
Maya’s POVI stood beside the door, eavesdropping on everything Luna Nora, and Alpha Darius were talking about. I was in total shock. Darius had gotten to the very edge, and I knew that he was going to start pouring all his punishment on everybody as quickly as possible. I didn't even think Lily would be able to last as long as I predicted. She might not even reach that extent. From the way I was seeing everything, it was just going to get worse and worse. I covered my mouth because it felt like I was about to scream in utter shock. So I made sure to stay hidden so that even if a maid or any guard passed, they would not easily notice me. And luckily for me, her door was inside in a way that it still had boulders blocking it so that anybody who passed would not easily notice someone was actually standing there. That was just one thing I was gaining from as I stood there listening to everything. After I had heard everything and was about to leave, I suddenly heard her telling Darius to
