Juliana's pov: Holding me steady, I ensured to keep up with Aria's pace which was very difficult at first till I heard the commotion in the kitchen. The angry scream of Margaret, the hot words she was throwing at my name. "Where is that fool? The meeting has started and I need to take those fruits to the conference room!!" As the word hits me, I halt instantly. Aria spared me a quick gaze with pitiful eyes, I swallowed nervously before looking elsewhere. My palms felt clumsy, sweat had already formed in them. The atmosphere seemed gauche, how do I tell her that the fruits got damaged in the staircase on my way to the kitchen? Will she ever listen? I sighed before looking away with a troubled look."You know that we can run away if you are not comfortable entering inside there," She points at the kitchen. Following her direction of the hand, I glanced at the kitchen door. Fear crept inside me, I shook my head and tore my eyes away from it. "Run to where exactly?" I could still hear
Ryan's pov:The erratic of my heart makes it so hard for me to concentrate on the meeting that was going on. Tapping my head on the edge of the table with my other hand below my jaw, I pondered on the reason behind my unusual restlessness. The fast rate at which my heart beats had me concerned. Ethan hasn't spoken to me since the incident and I know that he is still angry with me. I couldn't do anything, the deed has been done already. I felt a fire ignite in me, I feel fucking restless and at the same time worried. It was as if my heart was calling me somewhere else, my heart and body yarns to be near Ashley. I could feel her pain which confuses me because she doesn't recognize the bond. I could feel her heartbroken tears, I knew that I am the reason and that hurt the shit out of me.She doesn't have a wolf so how was she able to feel any pain? This is strange, she always ends up confusing me…….. I swallowed hard with difficulty. I know that she isn't okay but I still don't know ho
Juliana's pov:I fiddled with my clothes, I couldn't dare you to look up or to even lift my head. I can feel Ryan and everyone's eyes on me, I haven't been this embarrassed before in my entire life despite how dreadful and creepy it has been. I haven't felt this way before. "What's going on here?" His cold voice snapped me out of my reverie state. "She had something to say," The lady that I walked in with, sneered devilishly. Every attention was fixed on me, I shifted uncomfortably. I refused to meet their gaze, gosh! How am I to tell them about that? This is a group of Alphas from different packs that we are talking about here. This is an act of disrespect to the king for us to bash in here in the middle of a serious meeting just because of silly stuff but based on how wicked and cruel the lady was. She didn't see it as a senseless approach because of her quest to humiliate me. It seems like I have to be careful since it looks like everyone in this pack is cruel and brutal or is
I ran out of the conference room, with my hand half covering my mouth I ran with no destination on my mind. Tears were streaming down my face, the anger and pain that they caused me. I was furious at them but my frustration kept pouring down my face in the form of tears. The memories of what they did to me, and how they treated me kept replaying vividly in my mind. My anger fumes at each remembrance, they hated me. They wished for my death, sending me ousted from their pack as if my existence doesn't matter. He didn't care if anything happened to me in the woods, my best friend more like my sister stabbed me in the back. She took my position and planned for my death in my presence. Every day and day her laugh hunts me, it breaks me………… She made me have trust issues, I couldn't allow people into my life again because of the fear of the past repeating itself again. My eyes turned ice cold as I remember how she sat in the chair with a smirk discussing what I don't know, she took my pos
Smiling, I wiped out my tears. I can't continue to cry for those rascals. They hurt me so deeply, the cut is so severe that the wounds always reopen whenever I set my eyes on them. I sighed before I felt a presence behind me, the throbbing of my heart makes me know who is beside me. I tried to turn around but his manly hold held me in a place with my back facing him.Despite the heavy beating of my heart, his touch felt so good. His presence relaxes me a bit and makes me forget my reasons for crying a minute ago."Why did you run away?" His deep voice makes me weak down there, gosh! He sure had a tempting voice. Opening my mouth to reply to him, something strikes my mind instantly causing me to shut my mouth when struggling to free myself."Shhh….." He hushed before tightening his grip on me, he pulled me closer so that there was no more space between us. I could feel his breath against my neck. I so much wanted to know the reasons why he suddenly supported Bianca and why he always ca
Turning around I was met with the confused Aria, she stood there staring at me before her eyes almost popped out of their socket when Ryan turned around. She bewilderingly gaped at us with her mouth half open, glancing at our intimate position and the spot where Ryan's hand was. The unsettling gaze wasn't helping at all, I tore my eyes away from her before disentangling my hands from Ryan. A frown sat on his brow as he tried to settle what I just did, his face darkened. "Good day, my king…" Aria greeted quickly with trembling lips as her face caressed up in confusion."I have heard you," with an icy tone, he replied. Aria trembled beside, shivering like a raincoat fowl. "Since you are done, I think that you have to go….." Using his right hand, he gestured for her to leave before tangling our hands again.Aria followed the direction of our hands before her gaze settled on me. I gave her a forced smile when struggling indirectly to free my hand from his hold but the more I struggled th
I am nervous!Breath….. Breath, I kept whispering to myself. The atmosphere seems awful and disastrous which had me at the edge. I wiped my sweaty palms on the faded denim jeans that I borrowed from Aria.Calm down, this is going to be easy………You have to calm down, you can do it. I thought murmuring to myself, trying to convince myself that I will be okay but deep down. I knew quite well that I am freaking out with these two demons in front of me, Queen Rebecca, and Bianca. I am not even half wavering because of Juliet, she is the least person that even freaks me out. The only thing that clouded my mind about her was nothing but pure hatred and wrath. "Calm down, you can do this……. You have done it hundreds of times, this is not the first time that you are standing in front of them so relax," I kept murmuring the word but not too loud. The bickering going on between the mother and Ryan was loud which then attracted Liam's attention towards them, he stood there attempting to stop t
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
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
