I left to the palace after the queen. Since no one was willing to interfere considering their power and status,who then am I to do so? I stood back,watching the scene through the door,only then,I could tell what Rex was up to. Though it seemed I didn't care but will rather know what's wrong than to get implicated. I could see Rex in anger dragging her out of the palace by himself. This gave a bit detail that he meant what he had promised. " All this is just for a showoff" my wolf said sounding very disappointed. I was taken aback, this was the same inner wolf that was always on Rex's side, now she found him irritating. It was weird, then it was Liam, now it was Rex. "You shouldn't get bothered by such petty act of his, I know how it feels" the Queen said in a calm tone. She could understand the state at which Rex has placed me with such horrible scene this morning. I remained silent with no reply. I could say I was short of words watching the scene go on to see what it's outcome wil
Rex’s POVHer words pierced through me like a dagger. The pain in her eyes was undeniable, and I realized that my attempts to apologize were falling on deaf ears. I had hurt her deeply, and no amount of explanations would change that.I took a step back, my heart heavy with regret. How did it come to this? Though she had never confessed her feelings to me, I felt she had loved me even if it was a little. Her love for me had once been strong, unbreakable. But now, it seemed like a fragile thread hanging by a thread. I had to find a way to make things right, to show her that I was truly sorry for my actions.Taking a deep breath, I reached out a trembling hand towards Freya. "I'm so sorry," I said, my voice filled with genuine remorse. "I never meant to hurt you. Please, let's find a way to mend what's broken."Everyone in my family is against me, and it is killing me. What could I do? I had to find a way to retain the honor I've always had. I had many issues you had to deal with but I
Freya's POVFlashback I decided to secretly pay a visit back to my pack. Where it all started, the same place I had been betrayed and thrown out like an outcast. As I approached the pack's territory, memories flooded my mind, reminding me of the pain and humiliation I had endured.Stealthily, I maneuvered through the dense forest, careful not to alert anyone of my presence. I needed to see for myself how things had changed if they had changed at all. The moonlight guided my way, casting an ethereal glow on the path ahead.I followed Diana secretly as she found her way back home, limping. Now I had finally made Rex release her. At a glance, I knew she hated me more. Too bad, I was now I'm a position she could never be in. Rex had no choice but to release her based on my terms, after all, he was trying so hard to please me and make things up to me." What happened to you?" Orion said as he approached her. The scouts had immediately announced her arrival immediately she got into the pac
–I had finally decided to move back into my room, I didn't want to rely on the past again. Waking up to the warm rays of sunlight on my face, I stretched lazily on my bed. Getting up I moved towards the mirror, I recalled the scene that transpired between me and Cole, and finally, I was free.I looked at the palm that had thrown Cole overboard. The training I went through had really paid off, now I can freely defend myself from anyone or anything. I walked towards the French window, trying to clear my head. It was very early in the morning, so it wasn't the right time for Eva and the others to come in. I needed some space and time all to myself.I had to create something for myself here in the dragon kingdom, I had to earn the honor and respect of everyone. I didn't want my status and glory to revolve around Rex, I had to get a strong footing for myself. I didn't want anyone to feel that they had to respect me all because I was married to the next heir of the dragon clan. "What are
Rex’s POVIt's been days now, and Freya and I are still living like strangers in the same house. I'm happy she moved back into the mansion. she wouldn't even look me in the eye when I sought to talk to her. When it's cold at night, she seizes the blanket, keeps it in her possession, and refuses me to move any closer. I had decided to merge our room together, I hated the fact that she would lock up her room and I wouldn't gain access. This has been going on since her return. Liam was no longer around so there was no one else to piss me up but Freya's actions made me mad with rage. She was directly pushing me away. She hasn't fully forgiven me for my infidelity.As I approached Freya, my heart pounded in my chest, a mix of hope and fear swirling within me. But as soon as I spoke, her cold silence struck me like a dagger to the heart. The pain in her eyes was unbearable, a reflection of the trust I had unknowingly shattered. Each ignored word felt like a weight pressing down on my chest
Rex’s POVIt's morning again, as a loving husband, I woke up early and was about to head to the library to take up a book of recipes on how to prepare french toast, it is one dish I know she prepares so we'll for breakfast, so tasty and yummy, and was sure she will love it too, It's my first time preparing it, maybe doing so will make her change her mind this time. Freya wanted to make things far more difficult for me, this was why she requested that her meals from now on would be French dishes. French toast was the best for breakfast. Yesterday's meal was perfect, all thanks to the help I got from the royal chef. Now I wanted to depend solely on myself to make her something very special. And I was good with cooking using a recipe. It seems Freya was fond of French dishes and I was willing to familiarize myself with them. A month after she walked into the palace I remembered how good the meal she made was.I was a good chef whenever I made use of a book. I am always careful to follow
Freya's POV"Some days are just like the wind, moving towards a direction where one cannot determine its end," I said to myself as I stared at Rex. This was the man who had stood by me and had fought on my behalf. I recalled how he had tortured Diana when she had maltreated me. Over and over I felt safe with him. I came to realize how much I had fallen for him, this was the reason why his betrayal had hurt me badly.Treating Rex in such a way will help him know just how to value and care for a woman, not just a woman but also, his wife. Regretting his actions isn't enough, I am bent on making him learn from his mistakes. Giving him an easy run through his love story will be of no help to him which might just end up giving him the impression that things were so easy and cheap around me. Accommodating such things would make him do more wrong.After a beautiful scene of action with Rex, I summoned Eva and instructed her to bring me a top dress notch and apply makeup.I wanted her to dre
"Anywhere Your Majesty," I said, forcing out a smile. I had no idea of where I wanted to go. I had just dressed up to piss him up. I want Rex to get restless and jealous. " Owh I see, you didn't plan on going anywhere. You just wanted to make your husband jealous? " He asked as he looked at me. I didn't know how to reply to his questions, I was speechless."why not tell me the occasion you planned to attend? I could see from your reaction earlier that you don't want Rex to know about it, now it's just the both of us, tell it to me" the king requested."I have no occasion, I had planned to take a walk and decided to appear this way" I replied with a smile. Hearing that the king burst into laughter, I had to come out clean. "I knew, Freya, I hadn't spoken in Rex's favor because I didn't want you to feel I was defending him for the wrong he did. But I would have to come in now, yes trying his best to correct his mistakes, I want you to accept him and forgive him" he continued. " I'm not
Perfect ResolutionFreya's POVWhile I was tied down by Diana, I had almost given up my life at that time. I lost all hope and everything.I never thought this could happen to me. I trusted her with everything. I took her in as a sister, loving her sincerely. But all she wanted was to kill me.It's been days now, I know the kids must have been worried sick about me. Expecting and waiting for my arrival, but here I am tied up like a criminal. She made mention of how I took away everything she cherished.What could I have done to deserve such hatred from her? She seems to despise me a lot. She made mention of putting my life to an end today. Deep down inside I was scared. Once I'm gone, who will be there to look after my kids? Even father? This was supposed to be the day that I would be murdered by Diana. I wish I could get a chance to say goodbye to my father and the kids. I was already so tired of the countless tortures.I heard footsteps, someone was coming in, I guess it must be
"What do you mean by terribly sick? Am I sick?" I asked him."You're really strange you know," He said."Why do you say so," I asked."Take a look at your body. The symptoms show clearly on it. And it's a very deadly one. Like I said earlier, you would have been dead if I had not saved you on time" He saidI took a good look at my body and saw the symptoms of the disease. "So long as the disease is contagious you'll have to stay here for random checkups. You have to distance yourself from others, else they could contact it, it passes across easily through body contacts" he continued."But I just came here a few months ago how did I contact it so fast?" I wondered."You're not from this clan?" He asked"No, I'm not" I answered."What brought you here"? He asked"I came to save my friend's life, he's dying. And if I don't take what I'm expected to, he might die" I answered."Is that so, tell me what you are expected to take along. He asked"It's a herb I've been searching for, for mont
Instead of moving to unknown places in search of the herbs, I decided to use the picture of the herbs to search around by asking the people around.So I brought it out of my clothes and decided to show it to them. After asking for hours no one seems to recognize the herb. At that point, I felt disappointed and lost hope. I don't think I'm going to return back home. It seems like I'll have to spend a long time here. Seeing no positive response made me feel too weak to continue the search for the herbs. I just decided to take a little rest, I saw a lot of dishes and crumbs around the last spot I had stopped to search, this made me want to eat, I became so hungry. I had little money left and it won't be enough to sustain me even for a day. I had spent all my money bribing humans just for a hint, now I'm just left with little. I still needed more, and this would mean going back home. But I didn't want to. "Now how do I survive?" I muttered.I sat down hopelessly staring at people. I w
Diana's POV"That's great! You've grown up and become more smart and wiser "You have to be careful and make sure you take good care of yourself, come back home safe and sound okay." My father said with a smile "I will" I answered.Afterward, I left his chambers and headed to the mortal world to find the herbs.I can only find those herbs in the mortal realm, this was the last place the Herb was seen. But the thing is that I don't know the exact location of the herbs. I have to travel to the mortal clan to find the herbs. If I see Freya, I will be sure to end her life.It was the first day of my mission to find the herbs, I couldn't get it. I decided to take a little rest for a while. It felt so stressful, if I wasn't aiming for the post of the next queen, I wouldn't be here.I decided to keep my Identity on a low profile, since I'm in the human clan I have to behave like one."Ma'am, are you new here? A man asked. It seems like he's from the human clan."Yes, I am" I answered." I ha
Rex’s POV.Several days passed by, I had a strange feeling within me that something was going on. But I just couldn't place my fingers on it. I kept feeling disturbed and uneasy."What could be the problem? Is anything wrong? How do I fight this darkness?" I asked myself.My heart kept beating fast as if it was about to be pulled out of my body. This feeling continued for days.The next day while I was sitting at the same spot, I saw a flash of light. The moment I tried to move closer to the light, it went off. And there's always someone that shows up along with the light, leading me towards it. Whenever I tried moving closer to the light to see the person, the view was never clear, I couldn't tell who it was, it was just like a shadow."Could this be an imagination? Or a dream? How could someone appear along with the light and then vanish? I couldn't find an answer. I've decided that if that same light would come, I made up my mind to pull through it. I guess it was because I was t
Rex's POVI was stuck up in the middle of nowhere. I had no idea where I was. The only thing I could identify was total darkness that covered the whole place. It felt like I was in a very dark vacuum.While I was there, I couldn't see or do anything else, I walked endlessly. Walking towards no direction, ending up in the same spot. Starting all over again from the beginning. It seemed like a space that had no light. I was stuck there.I realize that there has been no way for me to go out from where I was. The last I remembered was the painful taste of death. Neither was I alive nor I was dead. I was just in the middle of both. I couldn't help but wonder. I could hear voices around me, familiar voices asking me to wake up. I tried so hard to wake up but I couldn't. I felt suffocated in this space, it was as if I had been tied down. "What is going on? Why are you stuck up here? Or am I dead?"I kept asking myself. While I was trying to find a way to get out of this place I just could
Cole's POVA lot has happened in the palace lately. I wonder if things would go back to normal again. I realized my life here won't be easy.Diana had left the dragon clan for a month, as her mate I knew nothing about it. And now that she's back I have to go meet up with her. So I made up my mind to go see her in her chambers. I had a second thought of going in uninformed. I just wanted to give her a surprise visit. So I head to her chambers.On getting there I heard the conversation between her and Orion her brother. I decided to eavesdrop on their conversations before entering."What could they be discussing about so seriously?" I asked myself. I knew Diana to be a little scheming and a cunning person. So it would be my pleasure to eavesdrop on what they are discussing.So I decided to hide myself in a secluded place where no one would notice me, so I could listen to their conversations."In the process of searching for the herbs, I'll make sure I search for Freya and once I find
Diana's POVI left the premises of the dragon Prince’s chamber to go in search of the herbs that were needed to cure the prince.I knew this was a great opportunity I could use to get closer to the prince and give him to myself. If I could be the reason for his coming back to life, he would appreciate it and therefore repay me back. In return, he will have to marry me as his beloved wife.I noticed the way the queen stared at me with surprise. She was so shocked and least expected me to react the way I did. At least I've created a little scene to convince her that I am right for her son. But at this point, she doesn't seem to like me.Talking about what the queen had just said, "Was the person in question Freya?" I asked myself.At least now I have the opportunity to kill her with my bare hands, now that Rex is lying unconscious.I will begin my plans and the research by tomorrow. But for now, I'm going to relax, because I have nothing to worry about.-The next day I sat down thinki
Freya's POV"My dear! You've woken up, how are you feeling"? He asked."I'm feeling better, where am I? I asked."You're at my house" he answered."Who are you"? I asked curiously."I'm Doctor Gregory, I found you lying on the ground, while I was in the bush in search of leaves for herb. I saw that you were weak and then you fainted. Immediately, I noticed this I quickly ran to save you, so I decided to bring you to my home. You were unconscious for almost a day but I stood beside you to ensure you woke up." He said with a smile."I noticed you were pregnant, so I did some little checkups on you to know how the health of both the mother and child is" He continued It was already a week and I still was in bed, I had a bandage around my head. Still bedridden by the Strange doctor. I had no idea where I was or how I got here. I had no idea who I was. The strange doctor came to give me my drugs as usual. " How come I can't remember anything, I tried countless times to recall what had hap
