Next Chapter.“If someone asked you to leave your mate, how would you feel? How did you feel when I tried my best to separate you from Daciana?” I asked him and his eyes darkened.I had done foolish things at that point and I knew reminding him of it was only foolish, but he had to understand where I was coming from.“You can't possibly want me to leave my mate, can you?” I asked him.He let out a breath with my question, dragging a hand down his face.“To be honest with you, I asked Daciana the same thing but she seemed insistent on making you stay and she asked me to speak with you,” Arnou confessed and I nodded my head.“She thinks that you'd only get hurt if you go back to Atlas because he hurt you once already,”I understood that she was only looking out for me and she wanted the best for me too.But they were all with their mates. Making me stay would be selfish if I dared to say.She just wanted me to stay and serve at Arnou's court.I knew I was being a bit too much but thinki
Next ChapterWhat do you mean by ‘new wife'? I sure do hope you have another brother that isn't Atlas,” I couldn't help but ask because I couldn't possibly think of why she would be doing this.Randomly bringing a mate for Atlas was really wild.“I brought a befitting mate for my brother, do you think you would be able to compare to him?” She asked, giving me a once over.Compare to him? Atlas is my mate and the moon goddess chose me for him as a second chance mate, do I need to compare?I knew Atlas wasn't aware of this and I was way too tired to argue with her. The two women stared at me with irritation and I didn't want to say anything to them.Giving her a thumbs up, I left her with her delusions of thinking that Atlas would get married to another.“Are you home? I could smell your scent,” Atlas asked from the mind link and I smiled.The mind-link was one of the things I could never really get over. Hearing your mate's voice in your head.“Yes, I am, where are you?” I asked when
Next Chapter.“Anna!” Atlas yelled, slamming his fist on the table and pushing himself up. His veins popped on his face and he was red with anger.“I suggest you watch what you're saying right this second. What are you saying? That Heyley killed Aria? That is outrageous and you know it,” Atlas growled angrily.When Anna said she was going to do anything, I didn't expect her to frame me for murder and try to take me out.The punishment for murder was death, what is wrong with her?“But Atlas, I'm only saying what her family said and want. I wasn't the one who came up with the assumption that Heyley killed Aria,” Anna defended herself. The look on her face almost made her believable, but I wasn't stupid.“You do not want to be punished for defaming the Luna, do you? Heyley is my mate and she is the Luna of this pack, so I suggest you watch what you say about my mate. Did she kill Aria? Aria was killed by Greta and it had nothing to do with Heyley. Heyley had risked her life to go and sa
My head pounded in pain, my throat felt raw from all the screaming, and each raggedy breath I took felt like I was being stabbed with thousands of needles.How long had it been? I stopped counting after day three.In all the days I had been tortured and burned and cut, they hadn’t let my mate near me.Some part of me doubted Atlas even knew where I was.In a way, it brought me joy that he couldn't see me like this. It would break him.My ears pricked in alert as the sound of the iron gate swung open. I took in a deep painful breath and blinked at the gate of my cell as I waited for the inevitable appearance of Big hulk.My torturer. That’s what I called him.“Is she ready?” Anna’s whiny voice reached my ears as the sound of their footsteps got louder.I pulled at the shackles around my wrists and hissed in pain. Iron shackles laced with wolfsbane. It bit and burned into the skin on my wrists, the poison weakening me every time I pulled and struggled.“She should be, every other thing
I woke up with my hands chained behind me. The shackles were back on and the bite of the wolfsbane stung on my wrists.There was no one with me. The carriage I had been bundled into shook as it clobbled over rough stones making my head hit the window pane repeatedly."Where the hell am I? And where is that bitch?" I hissed in pain as I struggled to sit upright and try looking out the window.I had no idea where I was. My bearings were confused and my blood was alive. Panic or strength, I had no idea but my brain buzzed as I tried to call out to my wolf."Nafira! Ira!" Even as I yelled out loud, I knew she wouldn't reply.She was gone. Separated from me by the poison they had pumped into my veins. Wolfsbane."Let me out!!!" I yelled, hitting against the carriage door with my legs but if anyone was driving the carriage, they paid me no mind."Anna!" I yelled again, my throat feeling raw as panic flooded my veins."LET ME OUT!"The shaking of the carriage got worse as it began to climb o
CHAPTER SIXTY I couldn't feel my feet, my mate couldn't be dead, not again. My eyes began to go red, as I struggled to ease the tears that threatened to flow. How can an Alpha shed tears? "You are not serious, Heyley can't be dead," I said, still on my knees. I refused to believe whatever was being said. The courtroom became quiet as Parker stared at my mourning face. It was impossible for me to lose my Luna. I tried to speak again, but I felt a lump in my throat, which was probably due to the tears that threatened to fall. I swallowed hard. I looked around, and rubbed my eyes repeatedly to be sure what I heard was certain, or was I dreaming. But I wasn't Anna was still there kneeling before me, crying. I didn't feel a disconnection from my mate which I was supposed to feel. Probably the moon goddess had gone mad. Why would she take the second chance mate she gave me, and refuse to remove the connection I held with her? "How do you know what she does, where did you se
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN. It has been three weeks now and yet, there was no sign of Heyley's body, it pained me that her body could not be incarcerated, so she could rest in peace. The absence of her body makes me want to believe that it was a case of murder, but my sister would not lie, she had witnessed Harley jump the cliff, and probably her body was devoured by vultures. I stared at the ceiling remembering all our moments together, her laugh, her chuckle. It was something that was still fresh in my memory, and I still had a great connection with her, like she was still alive. The moon goddess must have forgotten to mate with another woman. It was better for me, I do not see myself Falling in love again if the person is not Harley. I was certain that the moon goddess wouldn't give me another mate, as I already had two mates, who died because I could not protect them. Suddenly I heard a knock at the door, disrupting my thoughts, with a groan, I lifted myself from bed. "Who i
CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT Augustine was my counselor and it was normal for him to get concerned about matters like this, but he had no right to subject me to getting a Luna. I turned away from him, because the sight of him made my blood boil in anger, and I could feel my wolf trying to come out, but I tried to hold him back. "I gave your sister a suitable lady, she will be fit to be the next Luna of our park, Your Majesty," Augustine said, before taking his seat. So he was the person who made my sister bring some sort of girl into my chamber, the lady was not even up to my taste nor was she as beautiful as my first mate Aria nor my second mate Heyley. I hit my hand on the table angrily, unable to contend with my anger. "I am not taking a wife, I am going to stay single if Heyley isn't brought back to life" I yelled, with my voice as fierce as ever. The court members were surprised at my burst of action and they were surprised upon hearing I would not be taking a Luna. "We
Chapter one hundred and two Atlas pov I ran with the speed of light to Denise's room and she was jerking off with foam-like substance coming out of her mouth .“Run , quickly send word to the nurse, I can't afford to lose her", I said to the maid .She ran with her tiny legs and in no time she was out of sight, Janet and Anna came into the room when Denise was more relaxed .“What's happening to her again?Janet asked ." I don't know, I can't tell a lot has been happening to us all”, I said.The nurse came in no distant time,she was busy with Denise for quite a while, I wondered what she was doing." How is she doing?" I asked ." She is fine, I have been able to stabilize her", she said ." That's what you said the last time, Is she going to come out of this alive?”, I asked with anger written all over my face. “Yes, most definitely", she replied.“I'll take your word for it, however if she doesn't make it out alive I'll have you to blame and I'll have you arrested and thrown ins
Chapter one hundred and oneHeyley's pov I walked through the forest majestically. I didn't want to run as I was. I was lost in my thoughts, when things seemed to be getting better for me and Atlas and then boom the worse things happened. I admired the trees and beautiful nature as I walked past the forest.No It was noon and I had gotten to Arnou's palace and I met him addressing the guards just right outside , his eyes met mine .“Heyley, it's been ages”, he said ."I know, how have you been doing?" I asked."We are all just here , the moon goddess has been protecting us and we bless her for that”, he replied."I'm happy for you, is Dianacia asleep, where is Bayta?”, I asked.Bayta usually runs to hug me whenever she hears my voice but this time it was quite strange. I have been outside here for quite a while and she hasn't come.“I think they are inside, they probably didn't hear your voice”, Anour replied.I went into the house, nothing had changed, I could only imagine the pea
Chapter one hundred Atlas pov This time there was a lot of blood gushing out of his legs, I ran towards him and immediately he turned to his wolf, we were having a really fatal fight.“Stop it, stop it Altas", Heyley cried out.I could hear her cry from where I was but I couldn't back done I was going to show Liam that he messed with the wrong set for family, this time the house was burning and the fire was gradually moving slowly into the main building, I guess the remaining men that came with Liam realized their mistakes they helped Heyley, and the others put off the fire, however Liam and I continued fighting roughly, this time I had bitten him on his neck and he was bleeding profusely, he fell flat to the ground, the crowd who were focused on putting off the fire were now on us.The men ran towards Liam's bleeding wolf. He was losing a lot of blood and he was dying. At this point I started to regret my actions in every fight with him.“You want to kill him like you killed his ma
Chapter ninety nine Atlas povI looked at Anna in disbelief, I wondered whether that could be the reason she had been acting up around Denise, I was so shocked by this new revelation.Ok“Anna, do you have the slightest idea of what you are talking about", I asked her with my eyes wide open .“Come off it Altas, I am not delusional, I know what I am talking about", she said with so much confidence.“How I'm I not sure you are making this up, we all know that your family has malicious intent towards this Denise girl and now that it is time to do right by her, you come out with this false accusations, why didn't say all these things before she was delivered of her baby", Elder Will asked.I knew it would be difficult for any of them to believe Anna, but I sure do believe her because Anna is one person who is always ready to state where one is wrong, she is a fearless woman, I looked at Elder Will skeptically as made these statements about Anna."Let's not jump into conclusion, I know t
[29/06/2024, 5:09:10 PM] Mumu Number One🥹🥰: Chapter ninety Eight Atlas pov I ran out of the room as fast as my legs could carry, I could never have imagined that Denise would try and take her own life. Was it the loss of the baby that was causing her unbearing attitude?Immediately I entered her room I saw her jerking on the bed .“What the hell, why would she do this to herself if someone calls the nurse” I yelled .The maid ran out hastily and just immediately Heyley came into the room.“Get Janet for me", I said to Heyley .Before she could even leave the room Janet and Anna were already in the room.“Was no one with her when she did this to herself"? Janet asked.“I don't think so," I replied.“ I really do not know why you all are bothering yourself with someone who doesn't want to live any more can't you all see that she is traumatized with the loss of her baby, she certainly deserves what karma is giving to her after all", Anna said sarcastically.“What Anna, I urge you t
Chapter ninety seven Heyley's pov I looked at Atlas my eyes bewildered, I couldn't seem to comprehend the news he just broke to me, “B… but you gave me your words, you told me that Denise's condition won't stop us from getting married, why the change of heart all of a sudden”? I asked ."It's not me, it's the elders who want me to marry Denise, but I declined, however they are threatening to take me down if I don't , I seriously do not know what to do now Hayley I need you now more than ever”, Atlas said as he squeezed my hands tightly."Make up your mind Atlas, I'm tired of this rigmarole, this minute you want this and the next minute you want that, I have feelings too so i don't expect you to play with them”, I said in a harsh tone ." I promise to fix it Heyley, it's you I want, … . I really, before he could finish talking the maid cut him off.“Sir, please Luna wants to see you”, she said as she bowed her head ." Luna, I scoffed .“You all should suit yourself", I said as I w
CHAPTER NINETY six Atlas pov I stood in complete shock as Denise fell down to the ground, I was unable to move my hands, they were all numb, I couldn't do anything to help her ,I watched as Janet ran towards Denise holding her in her arms "She is bleeding, we need to get help as quickly as possible, someone please call the midwife", Janet screamed at the top of her voice .The maid ran out quickly to fetch the midwife and she was back without wasting time .The midwife held Denise in her arm, and checked her pulse rate."She is still breathing, what happened to her?", She asked ."S…she fell through the stairs and she started bleeding", I stuttered as the words came out of mouth."You shouldn't have let her come down, she needs a lot of bedrest and moving from one place to another can only trigger bleeding, she is not strong enough to move", the midwife cautioned .I turned to Liam, anger and fire raged through me but I didn't know what to do"This is all your fault, so much fo
Chapter ninety five Atlas pov “That's not possible, how does the death of the baby affect Heyley and I and besides the earlier we get married, the earlier we can make more heirs' ', I said to him."This isn't about making more heirs, it's about doing what's right, paying homage to the dead”, he replied."Fine, it's just three months and we are out of there”. I said .I walked out on him and went to the room, I was really pissed, how am I expected to break this news to Heyley .One minute we are on the right track the next minute all our plans just fall off .Heyley noticed my worried face when I entered the room. “Is everything alright?” she asked“No, they do not want us to get married just yet because of the death of the baby", I replied.“What, that's not fair , how does our wedding affect the already buried child ?" She asked.“Same thing I asked, but apparently it is tradition , don't worry we'll be married in no time it's just three months", I said .She looked at me in disbe

Heyley and Janet helped me stand and put me on the chair .“Karma is a bitch", Anna scoffed as she tried to stand .On hearing her statement I got really angry . “Anna, why would you say something so insensitive in such a critical situation", I yelled at her.“Forgive me brother, it must have been a slip of tongue", she said in a sarcastic tone .“Is this a joke to you, are all my affairs a joke to you Anna?, that you should talk this way at the loss of a child, you have always been insensitive from day one, you care about nobody but yourself, you want everyone to do your bidding but I'm sorry to disappoint you I am your elder brother and you will do my bidding not the other way round,
