Alpha OrionJust as I was about to give a formal introduction to the council members, mostly new rules who were not very familiar with Darius since he was not always in the palace and always ventured away from anything that had to do with the politics of the palace. I decided to just give a brief summary about why he is like that even though they all know that he's my stepbrother, but just then the door opened and Anita walked in with some beverage on a tea. She seemed to be shivering. Something was not right. I had already warned madam Betty not to do anything to her but yet it was like madame Betty refused to listen to me. She was beside her and was not saying anything. I kept silent and just then, Darius slowly removed my hand from his shoulder as he walked towards Anita. What was this? Does he even know her? Why would he just go to her? Oh. I slammed myself internally. Maybe he wanted to take a beverage from her, but I had no choice but to watch what he wanted to do. He walked
Darius povI stared at my reflection in the mirror as I couldn’t help but feel so good about myself. If I cannot praise my mom for anything, I would always praise her for the fact that she always knows how to pick the perfect dress for each occasion for me.She had always done that right from the beginning. She always wanted me to look so perfect and this was just a perfect opportunity. As I stared at my reflection with a white smile on my face, I couldn’t tell but vision and it had beside me. I blinked my eyes for some while hoping that it would make me stop thinking about her, but I could still see her beside me. It frustrated me. I couldn’t help but think. “She is coming to the banquet with me. Right?" But I was not sure. With the way she looked at me, I am not sure she would accept my offer and come. I don’t even think she would be allowed to go. The head maid looks like someone who is very very strict and I don’t plan on causing problem or coming here to take any superior agai
Anita PovOne could say life is a rollercoaster journey, but mine is a journey of unending happiness. I have never enjoyed or seen the excellent part of life ever since I was born. I have always been an outcast in my pack. For as long as I can remember, I've been subjected to abuse and ridicule from everyone, especially our alpha, Ethan. He's made my life a living hell, and I've often wondered if there's any escape from this torment.For as long as I can remember, pain and suffering have been my daily companions. The constant taunts, the harsh treatment, it's all I've ever known. I had hoped that finding my mate would be my salvation, that it would free me from this nightmare, but what the moon goddess struck me with was a demon in human form. I could still remember the look on face when he found out I was his mate. I was working late that night in the kitchen, I had almost forgotten it was my birthday till I heard his voice.His eyes widened in shock, and his face contorted in dis
Anita PovObviously, one of the cliques laughing, were Nora's friends and they are fond of bullying me all the time, just because they have the back of Nora, who is Ethan's Mistress.Jennifer started moving closer to me with a smirk on her face, and I know it's for their usual insults and downgrading.I straightened my face and looked at her eyeballs as she kept coming, and when she got closer, she paused. "Look at the poor little omega," one of them jeered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Thinking she could actually have a chance with an alpha. What a joke."Another girl joined in, her laughter piercing my ears. "Did you really think Ethan would choose you over Nora? You're delusional, Anita."Their words stung, each insult a sharp reminder of my lowly status. I tried to keep my head down, focusing on my tasks, but their taunts continued, relentless and cruel."You should be grateful he even talked to you," another sneered. "An omega like you doesn't deserve even that much."I fel
Anita' s PovThe coronation was over, and the hall buzzed with a celebratory atmosphere. The newly crowned alphas were gathered in a private room, their voices loud and filled with jubilation. I had managed to avoid most of the event, keeping myself busy with tasks that kept me out of sight. However, my luck ran out when Madam Maggie found me.“Anita,” Madam Maggie called, her voice stern as always. “You will serve the Alphas today.”I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. Serving the Alphas meant facing Ethan, the source of my constant torment. “But, Madam Maggie,” I protested, trying to keep the fear out of my voice.Before she could respond, a servant interrupted, whispering urgently in her ear. Madam Maggie’s eyes narrowed as she listened, clearly irritated by the interruption. She gestured sharply for the servant to lead the way, but not before throwing a final command at me. “Do not think you can avoid this, Anita. When I return, you better be ready.”As Madam Maggie followed th
Alpha Orion's povThe elder's council room was filled with the murmurs of former alphas, their voices, a distant buzz in my ears. I could barely hear a word they were saying, though I knew many of them spoke behind my back, calling me names like 'The cursed Alpha', a title earned after the mysterious deaths of my previous mates. My presence here was nothing more than a political obligation, a reminder of my status despite the rumours that followed me.As I stood there, half-listening to their idle chatter, a sudden, sweet scent caught my nose, unlike anything I had ever encountered. It was intoxicating, compelling me to find its source. Without a word, I stood up, ignoring the curious glances of the elders, and followed the trail of the scent.The scent led me to the Alpha's Lodge, where a celebration for Ethan's coronation was in full swing. Laughter and the clinking of glasses filled the air, but my focus was on the source of the intoxicating aroma. As I entered the lodge, the scent
Alpha Orion's povHer eyes closes as my hand cupped her cheeks. I couldn't bring myself to think what I was thinking. How on earth can a slave girl become my mate? And why was Oin leaping in joy? I removed my hand ftom her cheeks immediately.. "Mate?" I whispered in shock as i took a few steps away from her. "No, this cannot be." I say again, shaking my head.Her eyes opened, flickering as she looked at me filled with confusion and fear. She was actually trembling as she stood. My eyes red and dangerous, i shifted it away from her as she lowered her head. I retraced back to my bed with a hiss. "Come here!" I commanded. The sound of her trembling feet against the ground echoed through out the room as she approaches me. She stood at the side, not wanting to come to my front. "To the front!" I commanded again, casting a hateful glare at her. She flinched as her eyes caught mine and snailed in front of me, "What did you just do to me?" I questioned, my eyes dangerously narrowing th
Anita's povHow can I be sold to Alpha Orion by Alpha Ethan? This cannot be. No noAlpha Orion isn't only rumoured to be a mere cursed alpha but one which his previous wives died immediately after two weeks of stay with him.I hopped i am not dreaming right now. This is so unbelievable. I am in pains already, this is just like living my last two weeks on earth. Mummy!!! I miss you. I wish you and dad were alive, i wouldn't have been going through all these. At least, you both would have protected me, even if you weren't in high positions in the pack but there would have been a little difference. All these wre my thoughts inside the carriage of Alpha Orion as they rode me to his pavk.He sat close to me with a very dangerous and hardened face. His head would be stucked out of the window for sometime,and then, they would turn to me. What have i ever done wrong to deserve all of these? I know he saved me from Alpha Ethan and his stupid sense of reasoning, wanting me to strip in fro
