Writer's POVFlashback to the ballroom incident.The king was taking a walk in his private garden when Beta Waylen came in from the back; he paid his respects to the king and then stood behind him.A few seconds passed between them before the king spoke up; he asked, "What did she say?""She said not to worry, your Highness," Beta Waylen immediately responded."Not to worry? So she'll keep the competition open?" The king asked, but it was more of a statement."She has faith," Beta Waylen said."Hmm, faith. What do you think?""Your Highness, I also believe it's a good idea.""Hmm.""Her majesty is growing more anxious. S's a parent after all," Beta Waylen stated, but his words sounded funny to the king.He smirked and briefly glanced at his beta, "What do you know about that topic? You're just as clueless as I am."Beta Waylen also smirked, "I think I have more knowledge.""Really? Indulge me, I'm willing to learn," he chuckled, and Beta Waylen shook his head as he tried to hold back
Writer's POV Flashback to Sarah's second visit to the palace.The king was reading a file in his room when a knock came to the door, followed by a push. The door opened, and Beta Waylen walked in."Your Highness called," Beta Waylen bowed."Yes, she'll be here soon; when she comes, bring her to me," without looking away from the file, the king said to him."I will," Beta Waylen said, bowing respectfully and turning to leave. He paused at the door and then returned his focus to the king."Are you okay? Do you need her for anything?" He inquired, his concern for the king's health evident.Hearing this question, the king stopped what he was doing and replied, "No, I think I miss her.""What?! You miss her?" Before he could stop himself, Beta Waylen let out a loud exclamation. When he regained control of his emotion, he lowered his head and apologized, "Forgive me, your grace, that wasn't my intention," he explained."You don't need to apologize; I can tell exactly how you feel. And hone
As Rowan struggled to come up with an answer, Beatrice couldn't hide the visible anger she felt. How on earth? Why is this happening? Why would Sarah become a permanent member of the royal family? This implies that the royal family would treat Sarah with respect throughout her lifetime. No. This is wrong. This is not right. This shouldn't be happening.Genesis is the only she-wolf fitted for the king.After pondering over the question for some seconds, Rowan rose to his feet and answered, "I don't think I can accept the bride price. Forgive me, Your Majesty," he lowered his head and apologized. What? What is he saying? Beatrice scoffed, Is he refusing this great offer? I thought he loved his daughter. Does he not love her enough? What a fool! How can he reject such a life-changing offer? Well, I support his decision for his daughter. I fully support him. I don't want her to become a permanent member of the royal family either. Beatrice secretly thought to herself."You can't accept
Two weeks later Sarah's POVI am standing in front of the king's room with a tray of fruits, waiting for him to notice me. I've been doing this daily since I came into the palace, bringing a tray filled with different fruits to him. I've heard that he loves it and prefers fruits to real food, so I made it my duty to bring it to him every day.Just like yesterday and every other day, I'm waiting for him to open the door. The door is kind of strange; it doesn't open unless the king allows it. The only time I can enter his room is when he wants it, but why is it taking longer today?I've been standing here for more than ten minutes. Is he out? Is he asleep? But he is not the type to take a nap at noon. I've heard he barely sleeps.He is awake most nights and works during the day. He can't possibly be asleep, right?Should I knock on the door? Or should I just walk away? I'm confused.No, maybe I should wait. Yes, I'll wait five more minutes; he loves his fruits. He doesn't go a day with
The day Genesis apologized and begged to be my escort, I easily agreed to her request, not because I liked her. This was not because I had forgiven her, but rather because I needed to maintain a close relationship with her. In order to achieve my goals concerning her and my stepmother, I need to keep her really close.I need to make her believe that I have forgiven her. I need to give her the impression of a fool. I need to make her think that I'm a fool. I've been acting foolishly, allowing her to have her way. I let her come to my quarters, I let her into my chambers, and I give her access to some of my fits. I've been working towards achieving my goal; I can't let my anger ruin things now.I should apologize."I... I... I am sorry, big sister, I..." Shocked by my outburst, Genesis struggled to apologize."No, no, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I shouldn't yell at you, Genesis; I'm at fault; forgive me." I drew closer to her and also apologized.A big smile appeared on her face, and
I saw my whole world crumbling when Genesis slammed the door behind her, but my sincere prayers to the moon goddess were answered because the moment I grabbed the door handle, the door instantly gave way for me. This is quite unusual as the door typically remains locked when you slam it. When the door opened, I did not hesitate and dashed inside to stop her. I saw her moving towards the bedside and ran to her. I grabbed her arm and started pulling her out of the room, but my effort didn't make much difference."What are you doing? Are you crazy?" I whispered as I continued to drag her with me. She has to leave before the king returns here. I'm sure he is dressing up; once he's done dressing, he'll come out, and when he does,. I don't know what or how he'll react to her presence."Where is the king? I want to greet him," Genesis replied while running her eyes around the room."Are you not listening? We need to leave; come with me," I groaned as I continued to pull her. But Genesis sna
Writer's POV "Mom! Mom!" Genesis stormed into the kitchen to find her mother struggling with the kitchen utensils."What is it? Why are you screaming? What happened?" Beatrice dropped the utensils."Mom! You won't believe this, you won't believe this," Genesis screamed."Calm down; let's go to the sitting room." After washing her hands, Beatrice led Genesis to the sitting room."Now tell me, what happened? Explain in detail.""Mother, I did what you asked. I procured information regarding the king by bribing a servant.""Okay, and?""I finally located the king's room today.""What happened? Tell me.""I went into his room, Mom. I did everything we spoke of.""And? What did the king say? Spill it.""The king disgraced me, Mom. And his beta dragged me out of the room and out of the palace. He has also restricted me from visiting the palace. He threatened me, saying he would also send me to jail."I don't understand, why would Beta Waylen do that to you?""I don't know, Mom; I don't kno
Sarah's POV"Mistress. Mistress, you've got to wake up. Mistress," Brielle continued calling me, but I'm not ready yet. I need more sleep. I didn't sleep last night, so I'm really tired."Mistress, wake up." She gently tapped me on my arm, but I ignored her and kept my eyes closed."The Queen Mother is here; she's here to see you." After a few minutes of silence, she drew closer to me and whispered. "I know you're listening; wake up; she wants to see you."The Queen Mother is here? Why is she here? Could Brielle be lying? She might be trying to make me get up by all means. "Mistress, I am not lying; she has something to say to you. It's about the King.""The King?" I slightly lifted my head and looked at her."Yes, it's the king. I don't think the king will be available today," she answered.Huh, what does that mean?"Why? Why is that?" I groaned."I have no idea; I am confident that the Queen Mother will provide you with the necessary information."I immediately arose from the bed a

After regaining her composure, my stepmother charged at me again; she grabbed my hair and started pulling it."I don't care, bitch! I don't care what becomes of me; I must put you in your place; I must put you where you belong. I might as well kill you and go to jail. Yes, I better kill you now. I'll face the punishment. I don't care what happens to me; I'll surely kill you. I'll kill you; I'll destroy you." As she tries hard to pull out my entire hair, I look for every possible means to stop her.I attempted to grasp her hands, but her fingers became entangled in my thick hair. I tried to reach for her hair and also pull it out, but I was not tall enough to reach her short hair. And she's holding me in a way that makes it impossible for me to fight back. She is pressing me down; she's putting all her weight on me, but I refuse to give in.I refuse to fall to the floor. If she succeeds in taking me down, then she'll take full advantage of it. And who knows what she might do? She might
