Rejection.Chapter Seventy-five. The truth.Ace's POV"You left me no choice, Beta. I won't kill her." I grudgingly let her go, but instead of her thanking me for my mercy, she did something else."Stand up, Mate," she mumbled, pulling him up. "You don't have to beg him on my behalf. No one wants a fool as their king.""What?" I roared. "How dare you? How dare you call me a fool?" I was about to attack her when I heard my mother call out to me."What do you think you are doing, son?" she inquired. "Are you trying to attack her?"What the heck? Why was she here?"No, Mother." I stood straight, keeping my anger at bay. "I dare not.""Queen mother," Jenny called her. She fell on her knees. "Please.""Stand up, sweetheart. You don't have to kneel. Tell me, what is wrong?" My mother stated, pulling her up."It's Ivanna, queen mother. She was framed," she blurted out. "Please save her and ask your son to release her. I am begging you. She has suffered enough already.""What?" Mother screame
Chapter Seventy-six: RejectionAce's POV"You can't do this to me, mate," I pleaded. "Please hear me out and forgive me."Ivana sneered before replying, "I am done with you, Ace. I need you to accept my rejection right away." She averted her gaze."But... I can't do that. How do you expect me to live without you? I want you, and you know I do love you, mate," I stumbled over my words, the feeling in my heart had worsened."Love?" She snorted. "Mate? I am done with that bullshit." Her screams filled my office. She was angry. I knew what I did was wrong. That was selfish of me. Why did I do that in the first place? What have I done? The thoughts were racing through my head.I looked into her once beautiful eyes, eyes that had looked at me with nothing but love. Now, when I looked at her, there was no love, no happiness, it was just an icy stare. It was as if she shut out a part of her, the part that had once felt something for me."Don't make me repeat myself, King Ace," she said coldly
Chapter Seventy- sevenLars' POV.I have been here for a week now without hearing from my mate. Did she go back on her word? Did she abandon me?'What a fool,' Lucas said. Lucas was my wolf. 'I told you she was only toying with you. Why can't you listen to me and see what kind of person she was? Our mate is a cheap bitch!''I won't tolerate that from you, Lucas. Kate is our mate, and it was our duty to do what she wants.''Your duty, not mine. I won't be a fool like you. I told you she was only deceiving you. She didn't have us in mind. She won't accept us. She played and used you, then threw you away. I wish I could ask the moon goddess for another human host who isn't a fool like you.'I know he didn't like her. He hated her and even went as far as saying bad things about her.'What can I do for you, for you to be able to be pleased with our mate?' I asked him.'Your mate, not mine. The first time I met her, I made up my mind to reject her.'"But I apologized to you. She was just sc
Chapter Seventy-eight. Confession.Lars' POVI could feel my chest constrict. The pain I felt was unimaginable. I grind my teeth in a bid to rein in my emotions. "I won't let you succeed, you devil. I hate you!" I yelled."Hate me? Who cares, darling?" She asked in amusement, "You were desperate to be my mate. Take a look at yourself and take a good look at me. Are we compatible?""I shouldn't have trusted you." I spat."You will, darling. You will believe me over and over again because you are desperate to have this queen. If I were you, I would kill myself before the king gets to me.""Why should I do that?" I sneered. "When you are still alive.""What has that got to do with me? You were the one in jail, not me. I will be the queen of this kingdom." She declared."I won't allow that," I roared. "Over my dead body. I will make sure I drag you to hell."She chortled, "Drag me with you? I refuse! You are free to take that bitch with you, Lars. After all, you both committed adultery. Y
Chapter Seventy-nine: How dare you?!Aceโs POVโWhat are you talking about, Ace? Donโt tell me that you trust this lowlife over me?โ Kate asked arrogantly. I looked at the bitch in front of me. The woman who desperately wanted to be my queen.โYou dare address me by my given name,โ I howled. The air crackled with tension as the muscles in my jaw tightened.This woman ruined my life. She made my mate hate me. I havenโt laid eyes on Ivanna since she moved into my motherโs quarters, and it was doing my head in.She had been avoiding me like a plague. As I turned my attention to Kate, my desire to kill her surged through me.โPlease forgive me, my king,โ she pleaded. โIโm sorry.โโForgive you?โ I roared. โDo you know the sin you committed?โโYes, my king. I shouldnโt have addressed you by your given name,โ she uttered.โDo you take me for a fool, Kate?โ I questioned. โDid you think I didnโt know all your plans to get rid of my wife? How dare you, bitch?โHer eyes widened in shock. โWhat!
Chapter Eighty: Sex.This chapter contains a sex scene.Ivanna's POV"You're so beautiful," he murmured against my lips.My insistent hands on his towel and underwear would have given him the hint, because within five seconds, we were both naked and entangled in the sheets, and our hands roamed our bodies as we showered each other with fervent kisses.I took the hard length of him in my hand, and he shuddered against me as I rubbed my thumb along the silky tip of his cock."Fuck!" He groaned. His hoarse voice sounded seductive.I liked seeing him this way, out of control, knowing that I alone had this power over him. His eyes glittered and were feral. His lips parted slightly, and I could feel my body trembling in anticipation. He let out a deep, guttural growl.He turned the tables on me, flipping me over as he pinned me on my back. He kissed his way down to my throat, stopping to suck one aching tit in his mouth, flicking my hardened nub with his tongue.He rolled his tongue along t

After taking my revenge on them and killing their son, Iโd take care of her as well.I will crown myself the queen of this kingdom. I will step on anyone who has looked down on me because I am an omega.I was once a beautiful girl who was born into the Omega lineage. Omega had the lowest rank in the werewolf realm. My father and mother were omegas.The pack disrespected and mistreated them because they had no rank. Same as that bitch Kate, just because of her parentsโ rank. I had beautiful blonde hair with blue ocean eyes that made the male wolves go crazy over me.My beauty mesmerized them, despite being an omega.

I didnโt intentionally climb into your bed. You mistook me for the queen and forced yourself on me.โโWhat! You did what, Marcus?โ The queen asked.Confusion was etched on his features. โI canโt remember anything.โโThat was my first time, my queen,โ I cried.Queen Livia faced the king. โIs that true, Marcus?โโI donโt know, my queen,โ he said. โI have no memory of this. The day she claims that I slept with her, I canโt remember anything. All I remember is that I found the sheets stained with blood when I woke up the next day. I donโt know if I slept with her or not.โโI was scared that I went into hiding, not knowing that I was p
Epilogue.Ivanna POVI woke up staring at my mate, who was peacefully sleeping beside me. It had been months since I got pregnant, and mother had been taking good care of me. She kept bringing healthy soups for me. I gently stood up and walked into the bathroom. Oh my! Iโm sore all over my body. My core aches. I sat in the bathtub, turned on the water, and began bathing. I lingered in the bath for a long time, appreciating what it had to offer me.โIvanna, are you in there?โ I heard Ace's voice.โYes, is something the matter, Ace?โ I inquired.โAh! No. I was only worried when I woke up, and I didnโt find you beside me,โ he uttered. โAre you okay in there?โโYes, Iโm good,โ I replied. โI will be out soon.โโOkay," he replied.After I was satisfied, I stood up and picked up the towel. I wrapped it around my body before heading out.โIvanna,โ Ace called.โWhat is wrong?โ he asked. "Are you sure you are okay?

Test result.Ivan.โHere are the results of the queenโs tests,โ he said, handing Ace the result.โWhat!โ he screamed. โAre you sure about this?โโWhat did you read? Ace, what is it?โ I asked. โWhy are you so shocked? What did you see?โHe began kissing me all over my face. โHey, will you stop all this? Donโt you know we were not alone?โAce continued licking and kissing me in front of everyone, as if I hadnโt said a word.โAre you a dog? Why are you licking me?โ I gasped.โThank you so much, my queen,โ he stated.โWhy are you thanking me?โ I asked. โLet go of me first.โโIvanna, we will become parents,โ he blurted out. โIโm so happy.โโI know that. Is that why you are happy?โโYes,โ he confessed. โI canโt wait to meet them!โโTo meet them? Who?โ I muttered. โAre you talking about the baby?โโNot baby, my love. They are babies.

This chapter contains a sex scene. Skip if you are not interested in reading.Ivanna's POVI thought Ace was joking when he said he wasn't done with me until he got down from the bed and walked to the bedside drawer. The sound of foil tearing filled the room, and he was back on the bed before I knew it. "Turn around," he commanded, and I rolled over and lay down on my stomach. He crawled behind me and grabbed my hip, pushing it up in the air."I want to fuck you from behind, and I want to hear you scream my name," he said. He pushed down my lower back until I was arching for him.I took in a deep shuddering breath while he took his sweet little time rubbing his massive cock against the slick folds of my cunt. He knows how much that drives me crazy and how it makes me ache and beg for him. "Please..." I pleaded. I wanted him to stop teasing me and fuck me at the same time, but Ace wasn't done yet.His hand snaked around my throat and held me still against the bedsheet. Without any warn

Killed her.Ivanna's POVI woke up with a throbbing headache. My eyelids were heavy. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldnโt. What the heck is going on!

It is my duty to protect and guard my people,โ I replied.

Tell me, what should I do to find the cure, please?โHe stared at me before sighing. Is this really serious?
