She sent her daughter a strict stare as she hopped into the carriage
“You couldn't even identify the king's carriage…how sure are you that you can steal the heart of the prince”…the prince..the prince was right here with themHer face turned red as she realized this fact, if only the ground would swallow her up“You need to be wiser than this dear Alora, you need to be smarter if you want to get the prince”She found it strange that they talked about the prince like he was some horse or a gift, but she knew better than to question the ways of her mother“Yes mother, I am sorry”Kloss's face remained stagnant, it was like they were talking about another person, as he didn't even react. He was used to people buttering him up for the hope that he would get the crown and be their ally, random women and children, mostly girls flooded events just to have a word with him…young love, or something of that sort. It was no surp"What's that?"She asked as the smell of freshly baked cookies hit their nostrils, it seemed like different aromas of different pastries came together to have a meeting Alora couldn't contain her excitement as she dragged and pulled Young Master Kloss and Nolan through the streets of the marketShe almost couldn't believe that she was roaming freely on the busy streets as her heart seemed to be bursting with joy, making the boys stare at her in confusion “Have you never been to the market”Nolan asked, his curiosity getting the better of him “Mother said that the market is no place for me, and I should be more worried about how to give a proper courtesy than the busy streets of the dirty market”For a second Nolan found it quite sad that the three of them had such big burdens and responsibilities on their shoulders when they were so little.“You should come here during the time of the carnival, the streets l
Nolan's eyes widened as he missed that simple detail due to his piled up anger, while Arora caught herself staring at him in admiration “I don't think you make any sales today” Aurora chipped in “He'll not make any sales for a very long time” Nolan said knowing the implications of selling bad food stuff to a village, being a popular food stall even makes it worse, you'll lose the trust of a village “You're so smart big brother…I can see why Nolan trusts you blindly”Arora said in pure admiration, she thought that the universe was unfair, giving one person beauty, smartness and a good home was an outstanding combination…no wonder everyone wants him to be part of their lineage “Are you still hungry?”Kloss asked as he paid no attention to their praises, he hated the attention.Alora nodded as she pat her tummy, it was not a ladylike thing to do, but she didn't feel like a lady with them, and felt like she belonged, she
Sheila's POV"Damian, how could you...? I stuttered, unable to form a complete word. I was shocked, refusing to believe what was just happening. I wished it was a dream, but the sharp pain from my abdomen reminded me I wasn't dreaming."How could I? You think I can keep something as cursed as you around me? Even the moon goddess will reject you. I no longer have any need for you, so you can go ahead and die," Damian said with a straight face. There was no emotion on his handsome face."After everything I did for you, Damian, I have been using my powers to aid your pack all this while. I have sacrificed a lot for your sake. How could you? I even used my life essence to bring you back from your half-dead state. What haven't I done for you?" I cried out in pain. My emotion was a mess; I couldn't tell what I was feeling now.Damian looked at me with the same way he used to, his charming smile and his eyes filled with love. "I will tell you the truth s
"No, it wasn't what you think, my Lord; it's just that I wasn't proper," I lied."Oh, is that so? I understand then. Can you please come to my quarters after you are done?"My heart started palpitating. Why does he want me to come to his chamber? This wasn't how things were supposed to happen, right? I thought that he wouldn't bother about me since he isn't yet aware of my ability."Yes, my Lord," I answered.Once he was gone, I got up hurriedly. This time I had to escape no matter what, to avoid any incident. I quickly changed out of my night clothes and grabbed my herb basket, rushing outside.Arla saw me and looked surprised."Why are you going for herb picking this early in the morning, and why do you look so energetic?"I knew she was referring to how I looked yesterday."It's nothing, Arla; it's just small bruises, and they are already healed," I ran out before she can ask more questions.Luckily
Sheila's POVMy heart was beating at a fast rate. I quickly turned around and pushed him away from me."You! What are you trying to do?" I was exasperated and couldn't get my thoughts together."What do you think I'm trying to do?" He asked in a teasing voice. He had a smirk on his face, which made him look way more handsome than usual."You devil, don't dare get any closer to me." I growled, ready to fight with my life rather than to be defiled by him.He frowned, seemingly aware that he wouldn't submit today. He sighed."Am I really that detestable?"I ignored his question and kept my guard up, ready to attack if he made any funny move. He stayed there, staring at me while I also stared back at him. After a while, he stood up."Forget it, I don't force myself on women that I really fancy. I will leave you this time. Just make sure you don't regret this." He stood up and left after that.I watched him
Kloss's POV The moment I set my eyes on her, I felt a very strong attraction like I had never felt before. Her wolf was white-colored, a very rare occurrence among werewolves. She seemed to have noticed something and looked towards me; our eyes met, and I felt a kind of spark that I couldn't explain. I knew that I hadn't met her before, so why was I getting such a strong feeling of attraction over someone who was supposed to be an enemy? She looked panicked all of a sudden and started running. I didn't think much and started pursuing her. I was shocked; she was clearly faster than most of the wolves I had met. How had she achieved such speed? I immediately felt a strong urge to conquer her. I made up my mind immediately and had to chase with my highest speed. Soon I managed to close in on her and took her down. Now with her pinned under me, I growled, making my intention known to her. She reverted to her huma
After resting the entire day, I became restless. It was getting dark, so I decided to take a walk outside. It wasn't as if I was so free; I was quite sure that I was being closely monitored by Kloss' men. It's just that they are in the dark and wouldn't show themselves.Anyway, I didn't plan on escaping; it was meaningless, knowing fully well that it's impossible.One of the inn attendants walked towards me."Milady, I was tasked to follow you if you want to go outside; you might not be familiar with Orchid Valley City," she said.I nodded, knowing full well that it was useless even if I disagreed. The attendant tagged along with me. She slipped a small pouch to me. I looked at the contents and saw it contained lots of gold coins. I stared at her inquisitively."His Highness Lord Kloss wants me to pass it on to you. It might come in handy in the city. Even though the city is small, we have a decent amount of fine goods that you might fanc
There was a taunting silence as I was given a chair close to him, I looked cold and unbothered,but my insides felt like a roller coaster, the feeling was something more than fear,it was more like respect and curiosity, he had an aura that couldn't go unnoticed in a room of strong gods “Does the food not delight you”He said as his deep voice echoed,I clutched to my fork as I suddenly recalled that I should be eating. I stole glances of his extremely handsome face as his striking deep blue eyes seemed deeper than an ocean, it was nothing like Damian’s light blue ones, those haunting eyes still gave her nightmares “Stop staring”His deep voice rang into my ear as my face suddenly burned and turned red,I could feel the servants eyes meet stare awkwardly into my soul and the food suddenly tasted bland “I heard that you were specifically visited by an alpha”If the hall wasn't pin drop silent before,now it was,the servants quickly
