Victoria’s Pov I watched Raven for days go crazy over the stupid maid. I still had no idea how he had so suddenly gone from hating her like she was his worst enemy to him madly in love with her and then going around venting all his anger on everyone It felt like my perfect life and dream were all slipping away from my hands. I had so many dreams and plans for Raven and I. The day he has chosen me as his mate which I had not expected it one bit. To say I was extremely happy would be an understatement because I was extremely ecstatic about the idea of finally being with the one I have loved my whole life.But the day he dropped the bomb by telling me the relationship meant nothing to him but a way to just show his people he had a strong woman as his Luna instead of that Pathetic maid. I didn’t mind the arrangement of the proposal but the fact that he really acted upon it broke my heartI did my best to try and get close to him and make him fall in love with me but it just wasn’t worki
Giselle’s Pov For the past weeks and days Bryan and I have been getting closer and closer with each other. I still don’t know how it’s happening or how it’s possible but for some reason I’m not complaining. He was treating me right, doing things no one has ever done for me before. Most times I pinch myself to know if it was all a dream but the pain that comes after the pinch makes me know it was all reality and I was getting this treatment from a man who seems to be in love with me. Though we might be getting closer but we haven’t done anything beyond just hugging and cuddling and what I’m very grateful about is that he respects me so much. He knows I’m not ready or in for any intimacy and he respects that so much. He keeps his hands far away from parts that are not supposed to be touched by just anyone The few people in his palace were also very nice and respectful to me. Every day I keep comparing the High Crest pack house to this one. Apart from the look the people were so diffe
Bryan’s pov “I want you to check everything about her, where she came from, who she belongs to, who are parents are, everything!! Do not leave any stone unturned and once you are done report back to me immediately” my right hand man nodded in understanding before bowing his head and leaving. Since the day I saw Giselle at that cave sleeping on one of my men’s bed looking tattered with bags under her eyes, something just caught my attention about her. I don’t know what exactly it is but I knew on that very first day that bringing her back to the palace would surely not be a mistake. Now that I’ve sent my beta off to get information about her, I’m certain he’d bring some good information and if it isn’t good then she can just be one of the maids as she requested. Few days later, I was in my office going on about my daily work while also lost in my thoughts about all that has been happening . I’ve learnt that she was my mate, basically I was her second chance mate. I could feel the
Raven PovClerk and I had gone to neighboring kingdom to search where Giselle might be. Since I was powerful and well known I could walk into any kingdom I wanted. I spoke with each pack kingdom about Giselle and they all agreed to search their kingdom. They had all told me they were going to report to me as soon as she was found. My chest felt like an heavy rock had been removed from it knowing that hundreds of peoples were now in search of my mate. Which also mean I was going to find her very soon.Another month late I’m unable to find Giselle, all the kingdoms I had asked for help all came out with negative result. If she wasn’t in any of theses kingdom I don’t think I know where she might be unless something bad had happened to her. “Clerk, what are we going to do. It has been months now without finding the whereabouts of Giselle, do you think maybe something bad has happened to her?!” I
Giselle’s Pov As we sat next to each other on the soft sofa, my heart kept beating rapidly. Just the thought of my past made me sad and angry. Now, I was finally going to come clean to Bryan. He deserves to know, and if I want to move on with my life with Bryan, I think it’s best he knew everything about me. “It’s fine if you don’t want to discuss it, Giselle. I won’t force you, okay?” he placed a calming hand on my fidgety hands, which calmed me down a bit.“No, no, Bryan, if I want us to work, I think it’s best you know where I came from and who I truly am. “ I sighed and looked down at our entwined hands, causing a small smile to spread. I paused long before starting my words, “Well, firstly, I’m from High Crest Park, and unfortunately, my mate is Alpha Raven. I was sold to him by my mother, and the first day I met him, he realized I was his mate but rejected me on the spot....” I explained and narrated everything I’d been through by just being in the kingdom, and I told him how
Bryan’s Pov The following day, I woke up with a bit of happiness. It wasn’t because I had slept cuddled up all night with Giselle but because I had successfully manipulated my way into her heart. Yesterday, when she finally came clean about where she was from and who she belonged to, I knew from that moment that she trusted me, which was an excellent thing. Though her story was worse than what I had seen gathered up in that file, Raven was a proper bastard for treating her that way, and he didn’t know what a gem he had lost. I’m sure if he finds out her true identity, he is going to fight me for her, which is why I need to mark her as mine as soon as possible before she turns 20, which is just a year away. Once she births her child, I celebrate and make her my wife, so it won’t be too difficult to dispose of her without Raven mingling. I stared at her while she slept soundly, cuddled beside me. She was undeniably beautiful but not very lucky. All her life, she has never seen anythi
Giselle’s Pov After breakfast, I went up to my room to wait for Bryan. Spending the whole day with him made my stomach churn in happiness. Everything was going fine and smoothly between us. I’ve never been more happy in my life, Bryan has no idea how much joy he has brought into my dark life. And now, the birth of my child would surely add to the brightness.I jumped into the bathroom and had a beauty shower. Once I was done, I went straight into my closet filled with expensive new clothes Bryan had gotten me. I picked out a beautiful short white flower gown that complimented my skin tone and eye color. I let my blonde hair flow in its complete waves and did light makeup. Done with getting ready, I looked at myself in the vast mirror and couldn’t help but be taken aback by my reflection. I wasn’t looking how I used to, my whole features looked brighter and cleaner. Just looking at how good I looked made me really happy and content. After a few moments of checking myself out, I began
Giselle’s Pov “If you do not let my mate return to me, I will bring the war to you, Bryan, sooner than you think. I will come down here and destroy everything you have. You have no idea what I’m capable of, Bryan. Choosing to keep my mate from me is the greatest mistake you’ll ever make, Bryan. Speak up now!!! Will you let her go, or should I come back here and destroy this whole place!!” Raven roared out in frustration. Bryan, on the other hand, looked tended but also tried to seem unfazed by the threat. It was clear Bryan wasn’t ready for war yet, but he was definitely stubborn and wouldn’t accept defeat just easily.I definitely cannot watch this from happening. All that Bryan had told me about Raven came spilling down in my memories. Raven was a dangerous man who could kill anyone as he wished, so going to war wasn’t a problem. I can’t let my issue cause the downfall of Bryan's kingdom.Agitated and irritated with what he had just said, I shouted, “Do not ever come back here, Rav
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
