I swallowed nervously, glancing at Aria as she nodded at me with a small smile. Straightening myself I gestured for the guard to lead the way. I don't know but part of me seems happy receiving the king's call while the other part seems nervous and uncomfortable. Sparing Aria one last look, I turned around and walked out of the place with the guard.—----------------------------------------------------------Ryan's pov:I kept pacing around my room in anger and frustration, I can't believe that my mother could call me because of this! She annoys the shit out of me, but I forced myself to keep my cool. If not for the fact that she is my mother, I could have snapped her head without a second thought. Nobody tamper's with what belongs to me or talks Ill of my mate and goes scot-free. She is mine and I know that if I could gain her trust and love. She will give us time without a second thought, I just need some time that's all. I let out a frustrated growl, I just sent the guard to go
My body felt empty and cold as Ashley distanced herself away from me, my heart rumbled as I glanced at Liam. Why does he have to come inside right now? Does he have to interrupt the moment that I planned to have with my mate? "Fuck…" Ethan cursed when hurling daggers at him."Hmm….." I chuckled at his grumpiness."Come on….. He is our beta," I teased. "And so…." He purrs."Hmmm…… Good evening," I was snapped back by Ashley's words."Hmmm….." Liam nodded at her. Fiddling with her nails, she kept staring at us nervously from Liam to me. I noticed how uncomfortable she seemed, especially with the way Liam kept throwing her glances."You can go…… I will call you later," "Thanks," she hurried out of the room without a second thought. "Why did you tell Mate to go?" Ethan glared."Don't you see how uncomfortable she seemed with Liam here?" I clapped back"Mate shouldn't have gone! Liam was supposed to be the one sent out of the room," he states."What the……." Liam is our beta, remember,
Queen Rebecca's pov:It was almost dawn, if you look carefully, you could see me sitting beside my window with a glass of wine in my hands. My mind glazes in thoughts as I keep wishing I could find a solution or a way to put an end to the relationship going on between my son and that brat. Standing up I walked toward the mirror and kept staring at my reflection. My brow twitched in a deep frown as I made a noise out of anger not sure if it was a scream or cry. "I am done! "Why is this one so hard for me to handle?""I am the great Queen Rebecca, the fierce queen….. So tell me why this one is so hard for me to handle?" I clenched my palms in fists with my eyes shut, a huge lump moved up and down my throat. My anger fumes as the idea of not knowing what to do haunt me. I was well known for my mercilessness, smartness, and what happens whenever I oppose things. In this kind of situation, I seemed confused. That girl had me confused for nothing. She can not come and ruin my son or
Bianca's pov: Pacing back and forth in my room with my hand messaging my temple, I let out a frustrated growl. How can Queen Rebecca involve an intruder after everything that we discussed? Of all people why that girl, that girl is a snitch and at the same time dangerous. She is sneaky and manipulative, she doesn't deserve to be close to someone. How could Queen Rebecca disclose our plans to her just like that? Why did queen Rebecca not come up with a plan, after all, she told me that she could handle it. Is this what she means by handling it? What solution did Juliet bring that could make the queen mother accept her into this whole thing?I know that she can't provide a solution without seeking something in return because that girl is deadly despite being a wolf still she is toxic. I let out another sigh before plopping on my bed, Queen Rebecca failed this time. What does she mean by that they are doing it for my own good? Is it also not for her own benefit because if Ryan choos
Juliana's pov:It has been some weeks now and I haven't spoken with Aria. I am bonding well with Ryan, just the mention of his name makes me shy. He is so sweet that I couldn't help falling for him though I am still scared of the past. The past still affects me, it is a thorn in my flesh. It stops me from doing something that I wanted to do, I know that I feel something deep for Ryan, and I can't keep denying it. There is this tension in the air whenever we are together, this sexual tension. I crave him so much but I am still scared of letting him touch me. We are good but my problem is his mother, Bianca, and Liam, it is damn obvious that none of them wants me for Ryan. I sighed and moved toward the small box where the liquid content was. I haven't taken it for a while and I know that it isn't a good thing. To survive here I need to keep to the old witch prescription. Taking it out of the small wooden box I felt my door slam at the wall forcefully. I know that I wasn't expecting
Bianca's pov:I walked down the hallway with a satisfied smile on my lips. I don't know what is in that portable container but I have the feeling that the broken bottle hurts her badly.At least I got the reaction that I wanted, that is to tell her not to mess with me.My eyes glimmered with irritation when I noticed the figure at the other end of the hallway. "Mtcheww," I hissed and ignored the person."Aren't you at least going to say hi or just nod to acknowledge a presence?" The person asked, causing me to stop in my tracks."Ooh!....." Turning around, I half covered my mouth with my palms."So sad I didn't even notice a figure talking more about knowing that a living thing was here," I sneered in sarcasm."I thought that you were a statue," I sneered wickedly.A wicked smile graced my lips as I watched her jaw clench in anger."Well, that hurts," she faked her tone."I hope it gets into your dumbass brain that I don't give a fuck about you," I glared. "Aren't we supposed to be
With anger and fury, I stride inside the queen's chamber knocking or making my presence known."How dare you!!The word got stuck in the tip of her tongue as I walked in." Bianca…" She seemed surprised."Why are you surprised? Are you not happy to see me?" "Oh! No no…" she waved it off with her hands."I am glad is just that you are supposed to knock," "Or did you forget that?" She mumbled."Sorry, Queen mother," I quietly muttered.No matter how angry I am, I can't talk to her anyhow. She can have me killed within a minute.Despite how special she treats me, she is indeed an evil and cold-hearted creature. I think that is why she was able to recognize Juliet easily, two deadly creatures know themselves when they boom into each other."Good but I wasn't expecting you,""Or did anything happen?" She raised her brow."I came for a reason queen mother,""And," she drawled."Something bothers me," I confessed."Ooh! And what is it that troubles my baby?" She engulfed me in a hug before
Juliana's pov:Everyone was in the kitchen going about their duties when the door was pulled open and Iris and her minors walked in.I ignored their entrance and continued with what I was doing. Ryan wants to see me, so I am hurriedly doing everything that I am assigned to do so that I can go see him. I felt a presence beside me but I ignored her and acted like I never noticed her."Isn't it suspicious how a short hair kept glowing and growing every passing day," That was Iris's voice and I knew that shade was directed at me."What are you talking about?" Naomi asked."Can't you see…." Using her head, she nodded in my directionEveryone now had their eyes fixed on me except Aria who spared me a quick gaze and continued with what she was doing.I do fancy her personality, how she always detaches herself from this group of omegas and stays in her lane. "I have noticed that and it is kind of suspicious," Kaiden grumped."It glitters and that's what surprises me," Naomi said. "But I
