Chapter Two
Zara’s POV“How could you backstab and betray me?”“How could the both of you do this to me? On my special day and in my safe haven!” I finally let the words out of my stuttering mouth.I feel like I am chocking and the air around the room is suddenly all tight. The picture of Denver my fiancé bending over Mimi my best friend in a doggy position while using my painting stool for support makes me feel like burying myself in the ground.Humilation , betrayal , anger ,hatred, embarrassment, stupidness, irritation! I felt it all in my heart and bones.“You two are the people that I genuinely love and care about after my parents. How could you do this to me ? What did I do to you guys to deserve all these huh?” I choked on my own voice, I could feel the tears stinging in my eyeballs but I kept batting my eye and fanning my face to stop the tears from rolling down my face.I can’t cry and give them the satisfaction of seeing me broken, I am too proud for that but damn it hurts , it feels like fire burning in my chest and to make matters worse . They both stupidly just stood their naked and looking at me with foolish looks on thier dumb faces.“What the hell are you looking at! Get dressed at least ! How dare you stand naked in front of your future queen!” I shouted and they both frantically bent down and looked around for their clothes that were tossed around my art gallery. I watched them with so much hatred in my eyes ,how could my boyfriend and my best friend betray me like this ?How dare they betray the princess and future Alpha Queen of the Crescent Moon Pack, it’s just unbelievable and silently hoped that this is all some nightmare.Denver and I have a normal relationship, no issues and I have never suspected that he will or can do this to me.“I don’t know who I should be more disappointed with , Denver you’re my boyfriend and my future mate …” I said looking into his eyes and he looked away , shame written all over him. I had to keep biting my lips to stop myself from bursting into tears.“…and you Mimi ,why ? You’re supposed to be my best friend. I love and care for you like you’re my biological sister, I made my fashion designer design that clothes for you. I didn’t know that you will be taking it off to fuck my man behind my back!” I shouted with so much rage, I kept flexing my fingers and knuckles , trying to fight for control because I feel like destroying everything and everyone in this moment but my stupid royal pride won’t let me express myself.I won’t give them another avenue to humiliate me , I won’t cry. I kept chanting the mantra in my head.“ Zara, please calm down …I can explain “ Denver began to say while working towards me. He tried to put his hands on my arms but he decided against it when I gave him a dirty look in my eyes.“How dare you call me Zara , it’s princess Zara to you and there is nothing to explain . I saw everything with my fucking eyes and from the looks of things , this is not the first , the second or probably the last time you guys will be doing this !” I shouted , I am so angry and I don’t care if people from outside hear us.“Hey Zara , please it’s not what you think. Give us a chance to explain …” Mimi started saying. I raised my hands to shut her up.“You both should be on your knees when you talk to your future queen and from now onwards, you both don’t mean a thing to me so don’t you dare call my name without my permission!” I thundered , I could feel my voice vibrating from my chest.My head is suddenly aching and I don’t even know what to do with them, I kept staring at the two of them kneeling down before me with so much contempt. They both looked really haggard and disoriented, the whole art gallery smells is sex.I am not the kind of person to abuse my power and make people bow to me but these two humiliated me and I plan on getting revenge in the same manner. I will make sure I show them who is the Boss.“This is really unnecessary Zara, you’re being a spoilt brat and abusing your power “ Denver said with an annoying tone.“I really admire your audacity Denver. You have the guts to say rubbish when you should be begging me for mercy ? Do you know that my parents will punish you severely when they find out about this huh ?! We were supposed to have our first dance and you were missing , didn’t know you were busy being a cheating liar behind my back” I replied looking directly into his eyes.“Your parents won’t dare do anything to me. I guess you don’t know why you and I got engaged huh ? My family is doing a great favour to your family and you should feel privileged that I even agree to be your fiancé , don’t you know men are polygamous in nature and it’s okay for Kings to have mistresses?!” He barked back which shocked the hell out of my soul.No one has ever questioned me till today. I honestly don’t know the reason my parents made me get engaged to him and I never asked. Denver's statement sounds really suspicious and I made a mental note to ask my parents after dealing with this drama.“Why Denver ? We never had any issues , we call and text all the time. We also go to parties and dates together. We used to be the envy of the whole Pack, what changed ?” I asked with a small voice getting all emotionalChapter ThreeZara’s POV “Nothing changed Princess Zara, you were just too delusional and in your own painting world to even notice what’s happening right under your nose besides you keep refusing me anytime I ask for sex, don’t you know that I am a man and I have needs?!” He answered back with no hints of guilt or regrets in his voice. “I wasn't ready, I needed space and I am so glad we didn’t have sex because you would have marked me and that would have been more disgusting and annoying !” I shouted back , I am suddenly shouting because I can’t help it. I’m too railed up to speak calmly and instead of this playboy to apologize he is busy saying rubbish. “That’s your fucking business, you should know that I enjoyed my time with Mimi . She is so sweet and I hope that you learn to cope with all these because I won’t change my behavior for anyone even if we get married “ he snickered making me stump my feet, I started looking around for any sharp object to throw at him and injure him
Chapter Four Zara’s POV The whole ballroom is soaked with blood and there was quite a number of slain bodies on the marble floor. My heart beat begins to race really hard when when my sensitive nose picked up the smell of blood all over the place. “Mother , father !” I shouted as I frantically looked around the ballroom that once looked really magically , looking like hell of a sudden. I gathered the long hem of my dress and started running towards the throne chair. I have no idea of what’s going on but I need to see my parents. I really need to make sure that they are alive and together we can get who did this. The more I run and stumble on injured bodies of my people , the more my heart aches for them.“Who did this to us ?”“Do we have enemies and who are they, what do they want ?”“What did our pack do to deserve all these ?”“We should atleast get a prior warning if it’s a war right ?” I kept thinking aloud while looking around and trying to picture what was really going on.
Chapter FiveZara’s POV “Damn it, we need to find a place to hide fast !” Knight hissed ,grabbed my hands and he started running with me. “Where are we running to?“ I asked but he ignored me and kept running. “I think we just stay back and fight them. I don’t want to be running away from my responsibilities!” I said loudly and Knight immediately turned around and placed his hands on my mouth. “Stop shouting ! We need to find a way to escape so that you can stay alive and come back for vengeance. It won’t make sense for us to fight them now , we will both end up dead” Knight Whispered close to my face , this made me to have a closer view of his eyes. They were light brown with golden freckles , he is wearing a mask and face cap so I couldn’t see the rest of his face properly. “Over there! I can see 2 figures over there!” We heard the annoying voice and the sounds of more people running towards us. “Shit! Shit !“ The knight cursed , bent down and tore the long tails of my gown at a
Chapter Six “But those aren’t your parents Zara” Knight said while observing the dead bodies critically. “What do you mean? This is the wrong time to play around Knight. You should be comforting me instead of finding ways to make things worst” I said amidst tears and running nose.“Hmmm, no wonder they took the head. I don’t think these are your parents , my logic tells me that those perverts got the wrong people. Besides, it's normal for some soldiers to dress up like the king and Queen so that it will distract the attackers and revive them. I think your parents either got captured or they are on the run but these two look like fake duplicates' ' Knight said skiing was so serious and he didn’t look unfazed or shaken up by the amount of blood around.“This can’t be true but they are wearing exact clothes , their body build is the same and even the jewelries “ I said while trying to touch the materials on my parents dead body. “I feel like they cut off the head so that it will look l
Chapter SevenZara’s POV *Put puuut put!* The super loud and annoying sound from the large boat woke us up from sleep. I didn’t know when I slept off , the last thing I can remember is that I was going to be sold as a sex slave to the ruthless Lycan King of the silver moon pack. I was so scared that I cried myself to sleep. “Good morning Princess “ Knight said and that’s when I realised that his arms were wrapped around my body. It made me feel safe to know that he is around to support me. “We need to find a way to escape and survive this Knight” I said standing up and taking my body away from his arms , this is not the right time to feel all cozy in a man’s arms.*Brrmmmmmm* I held my stomach when it made a loud sound.“I think you need to find something to eat first,your stomach has been making sounds all night long, ” the knight said, looking all calm even when we are surrounded by our enemies. “I should have eaten the snacks we bought from the shopping mall yesterday but I was
Chapter Eight Zara’s POV “Hey wake up and have something to eat”My eyes immediately opened when I heard the dungeon open and an elderly looking woman came in with a large stainless steel tray filled with food. I am so hungry that I smelled the scent of the food even before she came into the dungeon. I and the other ladies also stood up as we all rushed to grab a plate. I thought the plate would contain some rotten or ugly looking food but the food on the plate looked delicious. There was even chicken and plantains with side soup. “This is suspicious, are you trying to poison us ? Or are you trying to drug us before you sell us off as sex slaves ?” I asked , my tummy grumble loudly but I still insisted on asking the lady. “Oh dear , you must be worried and you have every right to.This food has no poison or drug in it , trust me “she said but I don’t trust her or anyone in this silvermoon Pack.“I didn’t trust anyone or anything that has to do with the Silvermoon Pack. Eat this fir
Chapter Nine Zara’s POV“Grandma Mary, lovely seeing you again” I said cheerfully while standing up and clapping my hands in a dramatic manner. Grandma Mary and the other prisoners gave me an odd look as if I was going crazy but I ignored them.“What’s up with you this evening young lady, you seem very happy “ Grandma Mary said while she carefully kept the tray down and signaled for us to come and pick a plate each alongside desert and table water. “It would have been a lot nicer if they gave us some wine or atleast juice to wash down the food. I heard that Italy has the best wine “ I said and grandma Mary playfully smacked me on the head.“Ouch grandma Mary” I said while making a sad pout on my face. “You should be lucky that you’re given a healthy meal besides water is always the best. Now eat up young ladies “ grandma Mary said with a motherly smile as she watched us eat. *Ahem Ahem ahem* I coughed to get grandma Mary’s attention , she came running to my corner and started pat
Chapter Ten Zara’s POVI woke up with a gasp and a sharp pain in my chest, I closed my eyes to try and remember what happened yesterday night but the only thing I can still remember is that grandma Mary gave me some kind of toxic drink which I took and it made me sick, I remember fainting but I can’t remember anything that happened after I fainted. Everything felt like I had a terrible nightmare , I slowly opened my eyes and started looking around my surroundings. This place doesn’t look familiar , it doesn’t look like the dungeon I was kept as a prisoner but it still looked simple and plain with only a brown wooden table , a single rocky chair and a wardrobe close to a fireplace.I sat down on the bed and stretched my arms before yawing. I feel so hungry and empty and I know it’s because I vomited all the food I ate yesterday.My lips were also perched and dry. I tried to look around the small room to check if I would see some snacks to eat or atleast water to drink and I saw nothin

"No," she declared, her voice cutting through the enchanted ambiance.The Knight, stunned, asked in confusion, "But, my love, what has transpired to make you deny this union?"Annabelle's anger erupted as she revealed the truth.

The doctors and nurses hurried around, their voices a symphony of reassurance and efficiency.

Lately, I've been feeling so ugly. Every time I look in the mirror, all I see are flaws, and it's been eating me up inside."Alexander looked at her tenderly, "Zara, you're far from ugly. In my eyes, you're one of the most beautiful souls I've ever known. Your kindness, compassion, and the way you make others smile make you truly radiant."Zara's eyes softened, touched by his words.
