"I thought you left last night or do you intend on taking Ethan on his offer?" Laura taunted. I was in the television room trying to watch anything to get my mind off the conversation I had earlier in the coffee shop. I wasn't in the mood for Laura's shenanigans. I already had too many things to deal with. Firstly, why didn't I know about the Royal curse? Was what they told me the truth? Ugh, this was too much for one person to handle alone. I intended on leaving this palace, but how do I do so when all these women are looking up to me? While all these women are suffering like this? I couldn't, I wouldn't. I know I didn't believe them but I couldn't take the chance. What if what they said was true? Would I be able to live with myself knowing I am the cause of their pain, sorrow? No. That's not how I was raised. "I am talking to you. Answer me you slut!" The lunatic I forgot was standing next to me growled. Can't she rest? She was starting to give me another headache. "I don't wan
"Did she tell you that she was almost due? Isn't that good news. Imagine you being here for the birth of your nephew. That would be splendid." She clapped her hands happily. The shiny gold manicure shining in a way that made my stomach turn. Bringing my sister here was already a threat. I understood that but this? It was more than evil. She knew what would happen if she gave birth here in this pack. How can a person meant to lead be so diabolic? My sister and nephew had nothing to do with this. "She can't!". I hissed, glaring at her. "Why not? This is a Royal pack after all. Every child born here is blessed. What wouldn't you want that for your nephew?" She pushed, and I could see my sister was confused and getting uncomfortable around us. "Because every child deserves to be born in their pack. Moreover this child is going to be the next Beta of the Dark pack. He needs to be born in his roots. That's the law and my sister knows that very well." I said with teeth clenched. "I can
"You can't ignore me forever, little forest." He kept on talking to me. What he didn't know was that I could. I'm good at silent games. He can ask my sister about it, and I fucken hate that endearment even though I didn't know what it means. I dropped the towel on the floor and got in bed, never forgetting to roll my eyes at him. "Are we going to do this it not?" I spat ready to get it over with. "So, this is it. Silent sex, then we both separate like we don't know each other?" He growled like it was my fault. He caused this. "Yes!" I gave a one word answer, looking at the ceiling and opening my thighs trying to prove my point. "I can't do that. It seems forced and I can't do forced sex." He growled again putting his shirt back on. I was disappointed when I saw him covering up again but my anger took over letting the disappointment pass very quickly. "Forced? Is that where you draw the line?" I laughed bitterly. "Our marriage was forced, that didn't stop you. Don't become a sai
Laura. "I can't stand this, Ethan. You need to do something about this. This girl can't get close to Bryce. She can't. I should have killed her six years ago." I paced in my room. I was stupid for not getting pregnant soon. I dug this hole for myself. I thought I was being spiteful to the Luna Queen but this old hag played me. She didn't even tell me she was planning on replacing me, but now I don't have a choice but to get pregnant, and fast, before the cursed girl does. "Calm down. This is our chance to finally be together. Now that you and Bryce are officially divorced we can tell him the truth and finally be happy together. I have been waiting for this day for six years, baby!" The idiot said happily, coming closer to me, actually trying to touch me. "Are you insane? Do you think Bryce will let me go just like that? Don't be stupid Ethan. He took me from you six years ago, and you think he would now care that you love me?" I reminded him. I knew ways to make him angry. I knew
How can the person that makes you so angry you want to murder them, also be the one who knows your body very well. The person who knows all your pleasure points and can give the utmost pleasure in the world. I knew I was going to go back to hating him in the morning but tonight I couldn't stop moaning his name. I didn't want him to stop pleasing me, and the thought of him leaving in the morning was already hurting me. I'm supposed to hate him, but every time we are alone together, he makes me feel liked, wanted but I know that's just my wishful thinking. He loved Laura too much to feel anything for anyone else. The sun shining in the morning, will always be a reminder that I mean nothing to him. Only the sight of a moon gives me solace. I always thought I was a morning person, but even that changed overnight. Yesterday, I wanted to leave but today, this moment watching him lick the inside of me like candy, draws me closer to him. Maybe it's just lust talking but to me, I'm growin
Ugh, can't I get a little rest?What time is it? I checked, before getting out of bed. I left the room early this morning. Bryce was sleeping so peacefully but after I came out of the bathroom, I just couldn't go back. The illusion was gone, so before he left me there, and I had the walk of shame in the morning, I decided to leave him first. Waking up alone in that bed after last night, would have hurt me more. "Who is it?" I opened the door before they could answer. I was surprised to see a woman I had never seen before standing at my door. It was too early for this. "Good morning, Sophia. My name is Loretta. I know it's early but I had to see you before I started my chores. I heard so much about you!" She smiled but I still didn't know who she was, and what she wanted. For some reason it irked me that she didn't show me respect like the others did. She just assumed I would like to be called by my first name. I know I would have corrected her if she didn't but I hate the fact tha
"I shouldn't have tried to leave. It's my fault. I put my sister's life in danger. Selfish, selfish Sophia. Only thinking about herself." I paced in my room, reprimanding myself while I waited for the phone to ring. It has been two hours since my sister left the Royal pack. It wasn't easy, Queen Luna thought I was overreacting when I said no to their doctor treating and delivering the baby here, but I had my reasons. I didn't trust this curse would not affect the baby. It wasn't a mere coincidence that this happened here at this pack, and she was fine hours ago at the Dark pack. Even a fool can see the difference. So, I fought for her to leave this pack immediately. If the Royal doctor was that great, he would treat her in the air and save them both. I never thought I would be that commanding in my lifetime. I didn't even listen to the woman who haunts my dreams. I knew I was going to pay for the disrespect I showed her today but for now, all I needed to worry about was my sister
"Is this the girl that gave you the bottle of water this morning?" Bryce asked after he asked one of the deltas to haul Loretta's ass down here. "Yes. She is the one!" I spat glaring at her. I didn't even know the girl, why would she want to kill me?. This was starting to be the worst day of my life. "My King, what wrong have I done? I don't understand what is happening here?" She asked like she didn't know what she did. "Loretta, did you or did you not give this water bottle.." He said holding the remainder of the content in his hand. "..to Sophia this morning?"Before Loretta could answer, the door to my bedroom opened hurriedly. Laura and Ethan came in looking concerned. I knew the concern wasn't for me. They both made sure to show me and actually opened their mouths to tell me how they felt about my presence in this palace. "Sophia are you okay?" Laura asked, touching my shoulder, which caught me by surprise. Since when were we civil to each other? Is Bryce seeing what I'm s
"Grace, what are you doing?" I held her wrist trying to stop her. Not only did she look afraid but she muttered something to herself while trying to pack her things in a little brown leather suitcase on her bed. Her room was smaller than mine when I was living in the basement but decorated well, with fresh flowers on the bed stand. Pure white duvet, and curtains that matched well with the flowery wallpaper on the wall. The plain duvet and curtains gave it a nice contrast so it doesn't look busy. It gave your eyes somewhere to look at, and admire. Vintage. I loved it but that wasn't why I was in her room. My mind just liked to wonder and not face the reality of any situation. "I'm leaving this palace, and going back to my mother's pack." She answered without even looking at me. I could see she was serious about her decision but that was too drastic. We can talk about this situation and I'm sure we were going to come up with a plan to counter Laura's lies. She clearly can't keep
" I don't understand what you're telling me right now, Bryce." I paced in the infirmary hallways. I had thought everything was coming to an end. The lies, and the deceit but now he's telling me we have no proof? How the fuck not? I did my part, now he needs to do his part too. What the fuck was stopping him now?He must tell me outright what the fuck he is talking about. Isn't an affair forbidden in the Royal palace? The DNA was going to prove that the child belonged to Ethan and not him right? So what the fuck was he waiting for and what was so wrong about that? Why is he making me feel so stupid and frustrated right now? I was doing this for him, the pack and the Royal household. Why does he make me feel like a bad guy? Fucken why?"Forest, calm down. I get that you're angry and anxious right now but can we speak about this later? I need to be with Laura in there right now. She needs me and I need to get answers from the doctor on why this happened. Royal households don't get
I was on my way to see Grace when I heard a commotion on the third floor. I wasn't going to pay heed to it, since I had a mission and I wanted Grace to help me with it but my heart stirred me toward the loud voices anyway. I wasn't Luna yet, and there was nothing I could do to help or set the situation down the stairs straight but I still went there nonetheless and I was surprised to hear Laura's voice. She seemed angry but with who and why? The crowd didn't help either. They seem like they would kill for her. It saddened my heart to see her loyal pack members love her so much, when she was the one betraying them. How hurt are they going to feel when they find out she is a cheat and a liar? The truth coming out was going to be bittersweet for me. I didn't want to break the pack members heart but at this rate we didn't have a choice. She had to be stopped. I got closer and pushed my way through the crowd until I was in the middle of them. The scene before me was not what I expec
Laura. How do I prove to Ethan that Grace is never and was never on our side? His plan was fine but the thing is, I want him to be responsible for some of the things we did. I want him to rot in jail or put to death for trying to harm the next Alpha King. No one was going to take Bryce away from me, not even the Goddess herself. I thought, changing into something comfortable, but I still felt unwell. I didn't know if it was physical or emotional. I have been feeling like that since last night but I thought I was going to sleep it off. Maybe it's the stress of seeing Bryce warm up to that tramp and spending more time with her than me. He hardly comes back to the bedroom anymore. The last time I spent time with him was three days ago. Fucken three days, and even then he was not present. I could see his mind and thoughts were somewhere else. I had to beg for him to touch me, me. Imagine begging for sex, when you know very well any male wolf would have jumped at the opportunity to t
Ethan.The hate I feel for this pack is unparalleled. Everyone here thinks I'm stupid. Stupid little Beta always coming second right? Wrong, they're all going to pay for taking me for granted, and the first one will be Bryce. He is my childhood friend but what has he ever done for me? Absolutely zilt, nothing. Six years ago, I only wanted one thing. One person, Laura but he took that away from me. Took away the only woman I have ever loved, the only family I had left.Does he think I forgot about that? That we have moved on from that betrayal? He must be feral.My parents died protecting his parents. The Royal family only knows how to take, and nothing else. Another person that thinks I am stupid is Laura. She wants me to commit a crime punishable by death so she can be with Bryce? I don't think so. Everything is going to come back to her. She is the one going to be punished for her sins, and once that happens, I will take Bruce's little virgin and make her mine. Unlike them, I
"Stop distracting me. I have something to tell you!" I pushed his face off my neck. The sex in his office was spectacular. The thought of someone knocking or hearing us made it a little dangerous and I loved it. It made it more intense. "One more. Can I eat you?" He asked but for my ego I would describe it as pleading. My pussy was that good. Once was not enough he wanted more, and at this rate pregnancy was a sure thing. "When you entered this office, you told me you wanted to work. What happened now? Don't you want to work again?" I teased him. "Work can wait. I am hungry, and you refuse to feed me!" He tried pouting but it didn't suit him. You can tell that it was the first time he tried to pout. Is the big bad Alpha finally opening up to me. Does he feel comfortable enough to be himself around me? It's a lie, I must be seeing things. "Are you pouting, Alpha?" I teased again, and he chuckled. It was a nice melody. For some reason it made me feel happy to see him this way. T
Bryce. "I'm the next Alpha King. I'm not supposed to be taking this nonsense especially from a whore. What is wrong with that picture? You're Queen Luna. Proudly selected by the Goddess, and the last lycan. Fix this mess." I paced in my grandma's office. I couldn't take this anymore. Things were getting out of hand, and for what? I wasn't going to let one of my pack members die, and sacrifice themselves because they thought they had no other choice. They thought their family was in danger and the worst part is, we knew the culprit. How long were we going to play dumb?"Calm yourself, and lower your voice. Being Queen Luna doesn't mean I'm above the elders. I'm doing this for you, Bryce. You need to be the next Alpha King. No matter what it takes. I listened to your father, and let him choose his mate, look what happened? They gave me you. A huge black wolf tarnishing our image. We both know without a lycan in our family the throne is leaving this family. Do you want Alpha Derri
"I have been in this pack for years now but I didn't know women in this pack are going through so much. I really thought I was bad luck. Thank you so much, Sophia." Talisha happily said. You could see that a weight on her shoulders was lifted. I wish I could say the same but I couldn't. Loretta's words from last night still haunt me. Was she being snarky as always or was she really afraid for her family? What the hell was going on in this palace? Who was behind all this, and why? The way what happened last night affected us, Bryce and I, just cuddled the whole night without saying a word. I think he was just as confused as I was. Who had this much power to even elude the Queen Luna, and mess with the Royal pack?"Sophia!" Talisha called when she saw I was lost in my thoughts yet again. "Sorry. But that's why I brought you here. I knew hearing the storues from other women will help you too, and you won't feel so alone." I told her. I wasn't even listening the whole time. My only
"Where are we going? It's already so late at night. The Queen is going to be so upset that we didn't do the deed" I followed behind him. After our talk we sat on the bed for a while. I hoped he was going to make his move but he didn't. I wasn't going to be the one to initiate sex. I was going to do it but I wasn't going to initiate it. Does it make sense?Instead of doing the deed like we were supposed to, he was dragging me somewhere else. If Bryce thought I was going to let him touch me in public he was wrong. I'm not that kind of girl. That thought of having sex outside excited me. Contradicting my previous thought. Do I even know myself?"We can have sex when we come back. Right now, I have a present for you. Earlier I thought you were not ready to receive it but after our talk I realised you deserve to see it." He explained but didn't let my hand go. If Laura saw us now, there was going to be drama and I was not in the mood for it. "My birthday is next month, not today." I c
