Raven’s Pov I angrily walked into my palace, ignoring the stares and whispers. I was filled with rage, sadness, and regret. All I could think about was Giselle and how she had openly rejected me Just like you did to her Before I could finally reach my office, Veronica came into my view, stopping me, “Raven... let me guess, she brutally refused to come back and asked you to leave. She also embarrassed you right in front of everyone, am I right ??” I looked at her from head to toe with disgust and surprise, “How the fuck did you know we had found Giselle? No one knows about this information, nor have I ever told anyone except Clerk.” I raised a questioning eyebrow at her.She rolled her eyes and rested her weight on her left leg with her hands folded, “that’s not important, Raven. The important thing right now is when you will learn to get over this maid. She is a nobody with no power or no way to help protect this kingdom. What will the people say? Even your enemies will laugh at y
Giselle Pov I was nearing my final month of birth. I learned that wolves never take long to give birth to their child; it is always up to three or four months before the child is brought into the world. Throughout this month, I have been passing through different stages of irritation, mood swings, food cravings and other ones I can’t even understand. All this while, Bryan has been so good and caring that it even felt like he loved the child more than me. He was constantly worrying whenever I got up from my seat to either cook or do something minor. He had also assigned me a personal maid who would look after me 24/7. Shelly never left my side for even a second, and she would always ask if I needed anything every second. At one point, I found it very annoying, but then I got used to it. During every mood swings, I would miss Raven so much. I always fantasised about him being in the position of Bryan. I had also dreamed of him being present on the day our child was brought into this
Raven’s Pov “I’m pregnant Raven”What I stood before Victoria in total confusion and shock. Her words weren’t evident, nor did I understand what she meant.“You need to say that clearly because I do not understand,” I said calmly with a slight frown. “I said I’m pregnant, well I’m not, but I want to be. Raven...I want you to be the father of my child. I do not wish to carry any other man’s child. Please do not leave me. What man would want to marry a woman sent away by the Alpha himself? They would see me as one of your used prostitutes. I won’t be able to get married!!!!” Her voice suddenly rose, increasing to a very annoying tiny pitch. “My life without you would be a nightmare, and I can’t leave without you, Raven. Please give me a chance, and I promise I won’t fail you. I will gladly do whatever you want. Please, just one last chance. I will-““Enough!!! Enough with this bullshit!!! Is this why you fucking called me here. I was fucking busy, and I had assumed it was something
Giselle’s Pov The next morning, I woke up very early to prepare Bryan’s breakfast, but that was after I had fed and cleaned up my daughter. It still feels unreal. I had a daughter, and she is extremely beautiful. She was both I and Raven’s child, seeing as she had pitch black eyes and golden blond hair with beautiful smooth skin. Her features were a mixture of Raven and I. I did my best to feel happy about my new life and how it was good. It was time I stopped looking back at my past and moved on. There was no way Raven and I could ever get back together. Even though part of me wanted to be with them, I just couldn’t. Breakfast was ready, and the table was set with a few more touches and I’ll be done. “Good morning, “ Dylan showed up behind me and greeted me blankly with no emotion behind his greeting, unlike before. He was still mad about my distant behavior and was giving me the silent treatment. “Good morning, my love.” I went to him and gave him a slight peck on the lips, sho
Giselle’s Pov “Giselle, are you in there? Open up. Why did you lock this? Are you okay?“ Bryan knocked on my door loudly, causing me to flinch up in fear. He was here, and the monster is here. I can’t believe he actually wants to kill me for something I have no idea about. All this while, he has been pretending to love me. Has he planned all this since day one, or has it just come up? All these questions can only be answered by him, but there was no way in hell I would try asking him, or my death may actually come sooner. “Oh, I’m here, I’m coming !!” I called out, getting up from my bed. I stood at my door, which was still closed, placed my hand on the handle, and then took in a deep breath. “You can do this, Giselle. Just pretend like you know nothing, and everything is cool and alright. Make him believe you trust him and love him, then you and your daughter can get the fuck out of here,” I thought, nodded my head in encouragement, and pressed the handle open, revealing a confus
Giselle’s Pov I lay on my bed, deep in my thoughts for almost an hour, still confused about what Bryan had told Jessica about me. What powers was he talking about? Probably, he has mistaken me for someone else cause whatever power he thinks I have, I really don’t, but either way, I can’t speak with him about his mistake. He was a bad man. Even if I had the powers he spoke of, he would gladly kill me just to get it.Knock! Knock I snapped out of my thoughts with the sound of someone knocking on my door, “Madam, his Highness has asked me to escort you down to the theatre room. Are you ready, or do you want me to hold on for some moment? “ one of the guards said.“Oh no, I’ll be out now. Give me a moment. “ I stood up from my bed, adjusted my hair and clothes, looked back at Darcy, and gave her a small kiss on her head, “Don’t worry, baby, this is the last night we will be spending here. Tomorrow, we will go back to your father. He is the only one who can protect us. “ I kissed her one
Raven Pov The next morning I woke up with the worst mood swing. Just looking at my surroundings makes me really irritated. I sat up on my bed, lost in my thoughts. I have decided not to do anything whatsoever today, I just want to lay around all day. So I went back down to keep sleeping Knock knock I ignored itKnock knockI ignored it once again, “Raven what the hell, wake the fuck up, do you know what time it is”As I had predicted it was Clerk, he was the only one who always keeps knocking even after I ignore it.“Hmm leave me alone, I want to sleep, let me sleep some more” I said groggily, covering my face up with my duvet. He aggressively yanked the duvet off my body leaving me exposed to the cold.“What the fuck Clerk! What do you want??! Let me sleep “ I said a bit irritated, doesn’t he get that I want to sleep. I have no intention to do anything today.“Do you even know what time it is, you’ve been sleeping all morning now it 1 in the afternoon and you want to keep sleep. Y
Giselle’s Pov Just seeing Raven brought tears to my eyes. He looked to happy to see me, I don’t think I have ever seen him this happy before. We were in the lounge while I sob on his chest. I felt so safe and happy seating this close to him,I just realized how much I’ve missed him so much. I was so stupid for always sending him back when I could have just been with him since the very first day he told me he loved me but I couldn’t blame myself, he had done so many things that made me believe otherwise.“It’s okay baby, you can always tell me all that happened tomorrow okay. Come let’s go rest “ he stood up to lead us up to his room but I held unto his hand. He looked down at me in question“What I want to speak to you about is very important and very urgent Raven, it can’t wait. It’s Bryan “ his squeezes his face then sat back down next to him asking me to continue so I did “Bryan had asked us to go out on a date a day back. That day he had gone back to his office to do someone wor
Giselle’s Pov“Problems? What sort of problems are they having?” he questions in a low turn while I gently dry his hair. Through time, his hair had gone a bit longer and full with a little bit of curls, and as always, it smelled nice.“Clerk hasn’t really been treating Lita right, and he goes hours or even a whole day without speaking with her. He doesn’t spend them with her, and their communication is so bad. Lita is hurting a lot. She has been having sleepless nights and also crying way too much; soon enough, it’s going to affect her health, “ I explained, now done with his hair. I went towards the bed and sat on it, facing directly at him.“No, that’s not possible. A clerk would never behave like that, “ Raven says, disagreeing with all that I just said, his face scrunched up in confusion.&ld
Giselle’s Pov “What do you think you are doing with that huge amount of ice cream without me??!” She asks as she comes next to me on the couch, takes a large spoon and ice cream from my hold, grabs a spoon and pushes it all in her mouth in one go. I couldn’t help the little giggle that escaped my lips as she began to have a brain freeze, “you know you can’t handle that much. You still haven’t learnt your lesson,” I said, collecting the ice cream from her and placing it at my side.She nodded her head while trying to get over the brain freeze, regret flashing through her face. “I’m never doing that again.” “That’s what you said last time, and here you are again, “ I said with a small laugh. After our little laugh, we both go quiet, just staring at nothing in particular, both waiting for who was going to speak first. It seems she won’t, “WE SHOULD TALK “, we both said simultaneously, causing us both to giggle.“You go first”, Lita insisted“No, you go. First, I don’t mind, “ I said
Giselle’s PovEach passing second became loud, with everyone yelling at one another. At some point, Lita had pushed a glass of red wine over the white tablecloth, but she didn’t pay much attention to it as she kept on scolding Claire while Clerk still kept on trying to calm her down.Raven and Raymond both looked like they were about to have a heated brawl right at the table, seeing as they were baring their teeth at each other.My head began to ache with their loudness, and worst of Darcy had started crying for a reason I’m not sure of.“ENOUGH!!” I boomed, and a gush of wind passed between us, making a few things around rattle and fall over. Everyone’s attention came over to me with wide eyes.At this point, I had gotten up from my seat, letting my aura flow around us. The smell of their fear invade
Giselle’s Pov “I’m also sorry for the way I talked. Everything was getting too much for me. Lita and I fought at the market yesterday only cause she was looking out for me; I was angry she kept on telling me not to do this and that, so I blew up at her. You also came and began to scold me, so I blasted. I’m really sorry, Raven,” I apologized, dropping my head down in sadness. Two of his index fingers came over my chin and rose it up to meet his eyes, “I am not mad at you; all I said was from being worried. There’s no way I would ever ask you forcefully to do anything you don’t want to do, my queen, but when it comes to your safety, I will have to be strict about it, okay ?” He says softly, his hand caressing my face while we lock eyes.Unable to form any word, I nodded my head slowly in understanding, “use your words, darling. I want to hear your voice, “ he instructed“I understand, “ I murmured. In a flash, his lips attacked mine as I gave him entrance, letting his tongue explore
Giselle’s Pov “Do you accept the offer or not? “ I asked one last time, clear enough to understand I wasn’t joking.“Yes! Yes!! I accept, thank you, Your Highness. I will forever be grateful to you. Thank you,” she kept on appreciating while on her knees.“Giselle, what are you doing ?? You don’t know who this woman is, and it’s not wise to bring in a stranger as a maid. I am your maid. What do you need her for when I’m here for you ?” Lita whispered, standing next to me.For some reason, her words ticked me off. I didn’t appreciate how she spoke to me like I was a child with no brain. “Do not fucking tell me what to do, Lita, I am the Luna, not you, and I know what is right and what is wrong. You don’t need to question all my decisions every fucking time like I’m some child or I’m foolish. This woman right here just pled to me for help. What do you want me to do? Fucking walk away like I didn’t see her?!!!. Just back the fuck up, okay!!!” I hollered, then turned back towards the lad
Giselle’s Pov“So where else would you like to go? Or do you wish to return to the palace? Well I suggest we return, we’ve had enough fun. This place is very crowded and too dangerous for you and the baby,” Lita worried, holding onto my hand while pushing us past a few people.“No, Lita, after our encounter with that old woman, I think it’s best I took a better look at my people’s state. I know nothing about what’s going on, and I feel incredibly guilty, so we will keep checking until I’m sure there isn’t much to worry about. “ I stated, walking ahead. The warriors were close by us, clearing the way for Lita and I“Giselle, please, I don’t think it’s a good idea to stay here for too long, Raven—-““Lita!! That’s enough!! I said I’m not leaving, and that’s final,” I snapped, irritated with her adamance. “I’m sorry, your Highness,” she apologizes, guilt sipping through me. I hated being this mad at Lita, but sometimes, she needed to stop questioning me or telling me what not to do. I a
Giselle’s Pov The next few months were going well; Raven and everyone else cared for me mainly because I was pregnant. Every time I tried to do any work, they all complained or scolded me. Though I enjoyed the attention, I still hated that I couldn’t do a few things, like cooking, trimming the garden flowers, or bathing myself. Raven always suggests being in the bathroom with me, but I think it’s only cause he likes watching me bathe and gets to touch me. “I asked him to take us on a date, but he kept ignoring the conversation. I don’t know why or his reason. Raven isn’t putting him to work or anything, so I don’t see any reason why he can’t take me on a date. We’ve been together for a long time now, and I think we deserve a night out,” Lita complained while sitting on the garden bench, watching Darcy play around under the afternoon sun. “I don’t know, Lita, maybe you should just give him
Giselle’s Pov *three weeks later*“Oh my goodness, I can’t believe this is happening. It’s finally happening.”“Relax, Lita, you are more anxious than the bride.” we all chuckled at Gloria’s words.Today was finally the day of my marriage to Raven. Though we might be mated and it isn’t indispensable to perform a wedding ceremony, that’s what we wanted. We wanted the world to see we belonged to each other forever. He had proposed to me on the night we had found out I was pregnant.The night was a beautiful and magical moment, and he made a beautiful setup with beautiful flowers scattered everywhere and colorful fairy lights. The most magical was when he got down on his knees before me with a beautiful silver ring. Each word he said brought hot tears down my eyes, making me ruin my makeup and even my dress, but Raven couldn't cared less. Instead, he said I was beautiful.Once Gloria and Lita heard the news, they couldn’t stop screaming in excitement and making several plans for the we
Raven’s PovMy whole body felt weak and tired but strangely not in pain. I vividly remember Bryan choking me and the feeling of something aggressively dragging out of my mouth, the feeling of dying slowly. I remember it all well.I also clearly remember my last thought was of Giselle and Darcy and how disappointed I was at myself for losing against Bryan.Bryan had killed me, but here I was, standing firm and healthy. It wasn’t that I wasn’t grateful to be alive, but it was still a bit confusingGiselle.My eyes traced up to the wall clock above me, and it was 5 pm, which meant Giselle’s power had manifested“Oh my goodness, she brought me back to life!!!”How hadn’t I realised that sooner!! She is a powerful being; she would bring me back
