I could feel something burning inside me, pushing my door open. I bashed inside my room, slamming the door with force. It rattles on its hinges, and the sporadic beating of my heart scares me. I know what is coming in for me, it has been a long time since I last took that content that the witch mother gave to me. I need that content, I felt burning flames inside me. My whole body ached as the pain kept striking and hitting me deeply, my eyes darkened and with a blank expression, my eyes glazed around my room thoughtfully as I tried to shake the restlessness in my heart. My brow caressed in a deep frown as I tried to digest what just happened out there and the indefinite pain within me, the pain is getting harder at each passing minute and I knew the outcome if I ever allowed my emotions to surpass me at this very moment. I strived so hard to shove the image of Juliet at the back of my head, I can't allow the power to come back again………. Not now that they all wanted nothing but my de
My throat burned as the door was instantly pulled open standing there was no other person but Bianca. A frown and a look of disgust settled on her face as she stepped inside my room, glancing around like she entered inside a disgusting smelly pit. "Good day, Miss……" Aria quickly bowed to her as an act of submissiveness. She is almost blocking me from her seeing me and at this moment I thanked the moon goddess for making the room dark because if not she could see me though I have returned to my normal self still I felt weak and too exhausted to deal with her right now. "Where is that odorous being?" Ignoring her greetings, she asked."Excuse me, Miss…..""Is it that you are deaf or what?""Where is that malodorous creature?" Despite the darkness of the room, the anger on her face couldn't be mistaken."I don't know……" Aria replied, surprising me.I thought that she was going to shift sideways or give me away but she shifted covering me more from the sight of that cruel being. "But y
Ryan's pov:It hurts, it hurts more than I thought it could. I just made Ashey the center of discussion, this is one thing that I am afraid of but I have already dragged her into the spotlight. Every muscle, every sinew, stretched to breaking. But if they were going to break, they could have, hours ago, been out there. If there was any chance of it easing the pain, my muscles would have long since parted ways and left me crippled. I said weeks ago that I will wait till the perfect time before dragging her into the limelight but days and days have passed by and the moment draws nearer. I feel the urge to be near her, I yearn to be beside her. I can't deny the feelings anymore but I know that it wasn't going to be easy, not when my mom and everyone will be against her but I didn't care about anyone's opinion. I am just concerned about the pain that she will pass through, it hurts the way my mom treats her like she was nothing without any knowledge that she is my mate. What will now
Juliana's pov: I walked down the corridor with kitchen dusty kinds of stuff that needed to be trashed. I am done doing my morning chores, as usual, the rumor has reached everyone, the Omages in the kitchen try to get along with me because of King Ryan not because they like me. They just wanted to get to him through me but I am not stupid I knew that scenario quite well than they do. Iris and her minors despised me too much, she feels like I stole her place in the kitchen and also have the king all to myself. I don't know how to tell them that nothing is going on between King Ryan and me, that I am even more scared than they could imagine. I didn't get to see that dreadful witch yesterday, not that I didn't try but the couple of times that I went there. She wasn't around and I am too exhausted to continue wandering around in search of her. I didn't want anything that could make my path and that Ryan to cross. I haven't seen Aria, for which I thanked the moon goddess because I am als
I ran through the hallways toward the kitchen far away from Ryan, what happened between us shouldn't have happened. It was a mistake…. What was I thinking about getting intimate with a Lycan? Not just a Lycan but the king of all the werewolves. Though I couldn't resist him no matter how hard I tried, this time we went too far, I just couldn't believe that I kissed him! I kissed a king. /Wow/ Touching my lips, I grunted. This is when it even dawned on me that I just kissed him, every other time I do have a fantasy of us making out but today! I mean today it was different. Remembering the kiss causes a smile to creep onto my lips unknowingly, I touched the lips where he was nipping and ravishing me as if his life depended on them. Part of me still wants to be with him, my heart yearns for him. My whole body craves his heavenly touch but I knew better than involving myself with him will do me no good. He is the king! The ruler of the whole werewolves. Involving my
Her icy voice held me in place, I felt numb as my hands kept vibrating in fear. Her brownish eyes were as cold as her facial expression, everyone cowered in fear. They dare not utter a word, who dares to speak up when this scary terrifying demon is in front of her? "I asked again," scanning everyone's facial expression she snapped "What is going on here?""She….." Iris with trembling hands pointed in my direction, Bianca's face deepened in disgust as she glanced at me. "What about her?" "She committed an offense," she blurted out. "An offense!" Bianca stressed the word."The king requested to see her before you walked in," Margaret said with a faint voice. I stood paralyzed in my spot, her face deepened in anger at the mention of Ryan's name. I still didn't know the relationship between her and Ryan, why is it that she always behaves strangely whenever she hears about anything concerning Ryan? "I requested your presence some days ago," she coldly latched at me."Didn't you tel
"What the hell are you talking about?" The angry voice of Queen Rebbecca kept resounding throughout the whole room.The anger erupting out of her body was so fierce that it could slice deeply into someone's heart. She kept murmuring with her face nuzzled with anger and scowl. "That's it, Queen mother! The way he defends that girl is still confusing me, why her?" Bianca sounded hurt as she explained every single detail to her. "How could Ryan stoop so low? How could he? I am a great Lycan queen, I can't give birth to a toad!!" She loudly exclaimed. "I thought that he wasn't serious the previous day but………."Shit!!!" She cursed with heavy breathing. "The way he stares at her like she is the only thing that makes sense to him, he had never looked at me like that not even for once!!" Bianca complained with anger."Don't worry about that, I will think of something!!""I am worried!" I am worried, Queen mother!!!" She cried out. "I will be making a subject of mockery," "Never!! No
Juliana's pov: Sitting down outside the backyard, I stared at the sky with a smile before my face was obscured in pain. "You know this is not how the world is supposed to be," I smiled sadly as the sentence piqued my interest, causing my eyes to start tearing up. Shutting my eyes, I blink back the tears before pulling them open. I gulped nervously before moving my eyes back to the sky. "Have any one of you looked at the sky and hurt?" The idea of looking at the sky and it felt like all of your problems are being displayed in front of you, and in that instant, I felt it. The dullness of aches in the pit of my heart, the pain engraved within me. The pain of knowing that every day is going to be the same, that every day is going to be worse. The tears that I was battling to blink back slid down my face wetting my cheeks, I smiled sadly with a heavy heart. The incident that happened that previous day flooded my head, what Ryan did that very day dawned on me. He stood by my side a
The day of execution has finally arrived, as expected every werewolf is striding inside the black storm pack to witness the death of the mystery girl.King Ryan on the other hand was dressing up in his room when suddenly the door to his room was quickly pulled open gaining his attention."What is it?" He asked his beta, Liam."The….. The mystery girl is nowhere to be found," Liam said when puffing-out air.Ryan's face scrunched in anger before he dashed out of his room and stridden toward the cell, reaching the place. He found his warriors assigned to the place still lying on the floor snoring.Anger and frustration clouded his mind, he knew that someone might have helped the girl escape.He watched his mother and Bianca run down the stairs upon hearing the news toward him."What is it that we are hearing, son?" His mother asked with a nervous look."The news is all over the place," Bianca said with a heavy breath."Check the names of those that have been absent from this pack since y
The whole werewolf realm had heard about the mystery girl, the news was all over the place.She disguised herself and sneaked into their presence for a while now and even went to the extent of dating the king but now she has been captured, that was the rumor all over the place.An unconscious Juliana was trapped inside a huge iron cell with heavy guards around there. Nobody leaves or enters the place except the king and the royals.The day for her execution was issued by King Ryan, and the whole people were happy except her only friend Aria.The news came as a shock to her but she still believes that she meant no harm and could never allow them to slash Juliana's head just like that.Though she does know what to do, as each day approaches clocking closer to her deadline, Aria wasn't herself anymore. The fear of losing the one person that means a lot to her weighed her down.On a fateful night against tomorrow, which is the execution day, Aria was seen pacing around in the kitchen with
Queen Rebecca's pov:A satisfactory smile settled on my lips as I walked around my room with a glass of wine in my hand.The joy that I didn't lose my child and also the happiness that he couldn't remember that brat.Sipping my drink, I kept murmuring some happy songs.I think that I have to use this opportunity and execute my plan of making Bianca his wife.Besides, he remembers her and they are bonding well now unlike before. So I guess that it won't be hard for me to make things work in my favor.I can't wait to see the defeated look on your face, Ashley, when my son will finally choose Bianca over you.____________________________________Juliana's pov:It has been weeks now and Ryan still hasn't recalled his memory about us.I have decided to leave but he refused that step my foot out of this pack.It annoys me that he wouldn't want to let me go, I can't stand watching him and Bianca all cozy.The news is all over the pack, it is the topic flying around the pack now.Some stare a
Juliana's pov: I could hear some noises outside, opening my eyes, I noticed that I was back in my old slave room. I quickly sat upright on the cold floor where I was lying, confusion clouded my vision.How did I get here? The last time that I remembered, I was in Ryan's room."Ryan!" I said in a hurry. I wonder how he is doing by now, I stood up and hurried down the hallway toward his room.On reaching his room, I noticed that his door was locked. I glanced around thoughtfully before rushing to his office but still, it was locked.I decided to go ask Queen Rebecca if she might have seen Ryan.I could feel a nagging pain in my heart, the pain was much but I paid no attention to it.My mind was screaming for me to go back and not to go near Queen Rebecca's chamber but I ignored the feelings and shook off the restlessness.Almost to her chamber, I could hear her laugh and that of Ryan.Joy sneaked into my face as I heard his voice, so he is fine.I hurried to the door and suddenly pul
Juliana's pov: It has been months now since I left the palace, and it has been months since I haven't heard from Ryan. I am almost changing back to my old self, my long pink flowy hair is coming out. Though my face hasn't changed, my hair and skin are returning to their old self.I have been wandering around the woods for months now without any destination.I fed on the dead critters and fruits, it hasn't been easy but I know that I made the right decision.Ryan wants the mystery girl to die and that means me, I don't want to see the disgust on his face for me when he finds out.I have looked for the old woman that changed me for months now but I couldn't remember the path that leads to her cave. I sighed and got up from where I was sitting before walking inside the woods for a hunt. Striding inside, I heard a group of people discussing about the king and that got my attention and at the same time made me curious.Inching closer, I hide in a huge tree as I eavesdrop on their conve
Bianca's pov:I walked out of the room to find Queen mother pacing around the hallway with the different sorceresses and healers entering and walking out of Ryan's room.I stared at them all with confusion and surprise. What is going on here? Why is everywhere in chaos and tattered? With curiosity, I walk up to the Queen mother and noticed that she is crying furiously with Liam by his side"What is going on here?" I asked Liam since the Queen mother spared me no glance."I don't know what is going on with Ryan," he mumbled and I staggered back with my eyes wildly open and that's when Juliet's words hit me."If I can't have Ryan then none of us will have him," my eyes watered on recalling her words."What are you talking about and how do you know?" I said in one go with fear evident in my voice.I watched Liam run his hands ``From the prophecy, it was said that he is suffering from an unknown illness !!" He gritted his teeth."From an unknown illness!" I repeat with shock."So what a
Bianca's pov:I slid out of my car and went toward the gate of the bright moon pack. On seeing me the guards bowed before informing their Alpha through a mind link.Not quite long before I was allowed to enter the pack, they led me toward the direction where their Alpha awaits my visits."Good day, Lucien," I smiled before taking a seat in front of him.I am goddamn Lycan and you don't expect me to bow for him."It is a surprising thing to have you visit me," he seemed shocked."Things do happen, you can never predict," I said with drawn lips."Yeah, I guess right," he mumbled."So tell me what do I owe for this visit," "Nothing is just that I needed to let you know some certain things," my eyes twinkled mischievously, confusing him."Things like….?" "Where has your wife been?" "I didn't have a wife," he blurted out."But you have a luna?" "Why are you here?" "Not proud of her," I asked"Why are you here?" He said, trying to change the topic."Oh! I see….." I smiled."So tell me
Bianca's pov: I strode the passageway in surprise, I noticed everyone mourning and sobbing and I couldn't comprehend what was going on.With curiosity, I started inching closer to the crammed crowd. I kept pushing them sideways as I squeezed myself through the crowd not minding that I am rubbing my body with the ordinary pack members. Getting the sight of me, they kept shifting away. I could hear Naomi and Kaiden's lamentation voices echoing throughout the place.Margaret stood by the corner as she had her head lowered, the omegas were in tears, and this all exacerbated my curiosity. I forced myself to the front but what I saw made me choke breathing. It was as if everything around me stopped moving.My eyes went wide, my mouth hanging open. I shut my eyes as I felt my anger spikes and fury overcome me. Opening my eyes, I swallowed down in frustration as I tamped down my irritation.I stare at Iris lying lifeless on the floor with her two friends beside her as they cry their eyes
Bianca's pov: I could feel the nagging sensation in my heart, I felt very angry to even think about anything.I strode angrily into my room, pacing back and forth in deep thought.I lifted my head as I felt the door pull open, striding from it was Iris."You called, Miss….." She bowed slightly with her head lowered."Yes! I called," I mumbled."Lift your head because I want to be looking straight into your eyes as I say these things," I instructed and she complied immediately."Juliet the luna of the bright moon pack will be staying in this palace for days from now…." I swallowed bitterly."Yes! Her room has been prepared and arranged," Iris countered."Good…..hmm," I smiled bitterly when nodding my head forward."I want you to be her personal servant," "Miss but she said that she doesn't need any servant," "Hmm…… she did," "Yes!" "Huh! You think that you are smart, Juliet," I cursed in between gritty teeth."I called you because I need you to carry out an assignment for me," I a
