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 fancy." I put the pouch away without intending to use it. "Okay, just take me to the market then; let me see if I will fancy anything." The attendant led me to the market. There were lots of people, both buyers and sellers. There was a decent amount of goods in the Orchid Valley market. We browsed through the jewelry store without buying. I never planned to buy anything anyway, just wanted to kill time. "It's getting dark, milady; let's go back," the attendant urged. I was staring at a heart-shaped pendant. It was beautiful but quite expensive. "Ma, this is the Twilight Love Pendant; it has a magical ability of keeping your loved ones close and safe. If you wear it, your loved ones will never leave you," the seller introduced. He was only advertising his goods; none of the things he spoke of might be true. After a while, I kept the pendant. It was too expensive. Three gold coins for one pendant. That's the price of one horse. I gave up on the pendant immediately. Even though there was enough money in the pouch, I didn't want to use it. I wanted to return it. It was getting dark, so we started going back. We were getting closer to the inn when a group of men, around seven in number, blocked our way. "Who are you? Please, we do not hold any valuables," I shouted. "Of course, how could there be any valuable that's more than you?" The voice sounded so familiar. "Damian, you! What are you doing here?" "Why won't I be here? Of course, I'm here for you, my dear. It's really surprising how you call me by my name just a few days after separating." I was really confused this time. I had not forgotten about Damian, not in the slightest. I had always thought of how I could become powerful in the northern mountains and make Kloss trust me. That way, I would be able to take my revenge. It's of no use thinking of revenge without the appropriate strength, so I wasn't in a hurry. It never crossed my mind that our paths would cross before I could amount to anything, and he even came prepared. But the problem is, why was he after me this time? It's not like this was my past that he was aware of my powers; at least I held value. So what's the meaning of this? I wasn't yet considered a member of his pack, so why would he bring his men to chase me? It doesn't make sense. "Why are you after me? I'm not even considered a member of your pack, and I hold no value. Does it worth it to go through all this trouble just to capture me?" "Yes, my dear, you think I'm a fool? If you don't have value, I won't have bothered to capture you. It's not worth it; you are beautiful, but I can have beauties anytime I want," he smirked. "What I want is your ability. Yes, I know you have a special power, and I know it will be useful to me. I don't know what your powers are; it will be revealed later anyway. What I'm sure of is that it will be beneficial to me. I'm sorry, Sheila; you don't own yourself now. You belong to me." He came forward and grabbed my hands, drawing me closer to himself. There was a flash before I was pushed away from Damian. Bollard stood in my place and was facing Damian. He frowned. "Who are you? This is none of your business; she's my mate. We only have a misunderstanding; it's better you don't involve yourself." There was an underlying threat in his words. "I'm sorry, but I think I didn't hear you correctly. Did you say your mate? Perhaps you must be mistaken, my Lord. Let me introduce myself. I'm Bollard, servant of Lord Kloss, Alpha of The North Tribunal, and King of The Northern Mountain Kingdom." He showed his crest to prove his identity. Damian's handsome face turned ugly. Even he wouldn't dare offend a being as powerful as Kloss; if I remember correctly, even in my past life, he didn't dare challenge Kloss even once. That was because the northern tribunal was just not powerful; their Alpha was also the King of the Northern Valley kingdom and had a whole army under him. His power wasn't something an ordinary Alpha like him can contend with. This caused a deep frown on Damian's face. "Mr. Bollard, I don't think my Westvale Park has ever involved in your matters before. Why do you want to interfere with ours?" he asked. "I will naturally not interfere if it has nothing to do with me, my Lord, but you see, milady here is the Luna of our pack. So can you tell me in what way that it didn't concern me?" Mr. Bollard said politely, but from his stance, it was clear that he wasn't ready to back down. Damian's face twitched. "Your Luna? Impossible." "Are you calling me a liar, my Lord?" Bollards expression changed immediately. Damian didn't dare to continue; he signaled to his men. "I'm sorry for troubling you, Mr. Bollard; we must have recognized the wrong person. I will take my leave now." He looked at me one last time before he turned around and left. "Milady, are you alright?" Bollard asked worriedly. "Yes, thank you for coming on time." I wasn't surprised why he appeared at that moment, since I was already aware that Kloss surely had his men following me in case I attempted to escape. I didn't mind either; it's not as if I planned to escape in the first place. Haven't thought of it; I had already made up my mind, and my plan was simple: obtain Kloss' trust and use his powers to crush Damian. It doesn't matter if I love him or not. From Damian's words, it was clear that he was already aware that I had some special abilities. So does that mean I was fooled in my past life? I was really stupid. It was clear that everything was planned. He deliberately got his sister to bully me, then he acted like a savior and saved me. Then he started giving me special attention, making me feel loved. He even told me about the witch prophecy and how he didn't believe it. Even if it was true, he didn't care one bit. This was to make me trust and believe in him more. I had been fooled. I felt a deep rage and thirst for revenge like I had never felt before. Even when I was resurrected, I never thirsted for revenge so much. "Milady, we have arrived." I was so caught up in thought that I didn't even know when we arrived at the inn. I was feeling tired, so I went straight to my room to rest. Bollard excused himself and left, probably to inform Kloss of what happened today. I didn't mind anyway; it was better that he learned the truth and stopped thinking of me as one of Zulu's followers. He had never asked me for my identity once ever since I was captured. It's not as if we had a chance to talk since he was always not around. I was indeed right; just as I was about to sleep, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." The door opened, and the attendant walked in. "My lady, Lord Kloss wants you to join him for dinner," she said. I nodded. "I will be there soon." After she left, I heaved a sigh and quickly wore my slippers. Downstairs, I saw Kloss sitting on a chair by himself. He was so handsome and very masculine. Damian was very handsome and attractive, but compared to Kloss, I felt he was lacking. Kloss might not be more handsome than him, but he was more masculine and had this cold aura that made him scary and interesting. He had the disposition of a true monarch. My heart started pounding. I tried to keep my cool and forced a straight face. The table in front of him was filled with all kinds of food. He gestured for me to join him. I walked towards him and took the seat opposite him.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

Shelia's POVI tripped again as a huge bruise formed on my ankle, dragging myself up I heaved a sigh of frustration as my ankle felt suddenly numb.In her past life,she and Penelope were friends by circumstance, but Penelope was part of the rouge wolf that Stella sold off to clubs, she was bought by a wealthy zeta wolf,who had fought in many battles but his back had never touched the ground,he was greedy and always taking advantage of young females, bringing them to clubs to be abused by other disgusting males, but the castle couldn't do anything about it, because if how strong in battle he was and because of this she developed a strong hatred towards the castle and everyone in it, except her.They weren't exactly close,but she helped Penelope one time,so she swore to repay the favor.I touched my ankle and a sharp pain shot through my wrist making me whince, I removed my hand immediately and my injury had healed.Standing outside a club,
Penelope's POV(Unedited Version)Running through the thick forest,I was fast enough to effortlessly dodge the thorns and branches,while chuckling like a manic, this was it,it was why I was born, to be part of the prophecyRunning fast into the unknown,her hair blonde flowed freely and was one with the air as she listened partially if she could hear footsteps behind her,and for a while it was quiet….seems like she was still messing with the Zeta, immediately light but fast footsteps could be heard in a distance,I smiled as I finally increased my pace,my deep blue eyes suddenly glowed my feet seemed to be barely touching the groundFrom the first time I saw Sheila at the castle, something in me knew that she was special,she was more different than the rest of us, she screamed magic,and seeing how curious enough she was to be hot on her tail she could guess that the first part of the prophecy had been fulfilled She didn't have to run, it w
‘knock knock’Standing beside the window,the soft knock brought me back to reality as I softly hummed an enter Female servants trooped into the room with a piece of clothing or jewelry in their hands as the butler walked in behind them, giving me a soft nod as a greeting he stared at my face as if noticing that something was offNot sleeping the whole night, killing multiple people and running into the thick forest must have taken a toll on me and made me weak,and pale physically.If this was my old life, I wouldn't have felt even the least bit tired,but the lack of energy was showing on my face in this life Deciding to ignore her pale and tired look the butler went ahead to pass on the information given to him “Milady, Master Kloss ordered you to dress up,you and him would be going out”The command was short and straight forward making me roll my eyes eternally “They would help you prepare”He said and
She could feel all eyes on them as numerous wolves tried to fathom what was going on, it was almost like they saw a ghost with how pale they went, especially the ladies, they were lucky that their eyes were connected to a socket or it would have rolled on the ground.For a while the music stopped as all the attention was on both of them…the king and his bride, then a beautiful lady with long silver hair and deep blue eyes approached them,her body slender and her legs long, she looked nothing short of a belleBut that's the thing with wolves,their appearance are deceiving, it was something that the wolves and vampires had in common almost other things, so she learnt not to judge by looks “Lord Kloss…” and said with a bow as her voice trailed off “The rumors are true…you are betrothed”She said with a soft genuine smile,which was rare, catching her off guard,but her appearance remained bland “Lady Sheila”He introduced as th
Kloss's POVI saw her eyes quiver as her breath hastened, her cheeks turned red as she tried to match the intensity of the gaze Her skin was paler than usual and she seemed tired, that was enough evidence that she was up the whole night She looked pretty, once more his choice came out perfect, when he saw her, he knew that she was special, she wasn't like any other creature that was born to die.She didn't know it yet, but she has this powerful aura emitting from her, there was something strange about her, something that shouldn't fall into bad hands.He couldn't say that he didn't want her to fall into the wrong hands, because his hands aren't right either..he wanted her to fall into a secure hand, a protective hand.The only way for that to happen was to be betrothed to her….it was an opportunity he didn't want to let go of “You have really pretty eyes”I said leaning closer to her face, I could hear her h
Cortia’s face turned as red as a tomato as she tried to shy away “Pardon me for not informing you on my betrothal”He said to the utter shock of the Owis “But my bride wanted to keep it as silent as possible”He said, throwing me in the conversation and not just gaining the attention of the Owis,but of the entire ballroom making me the center of attention Cortia's face fell as her mood darkened by a few shades,it looked like she was just deprived of her right to breathe as the whole hall turned in our direction.She always liked being the center of attention,but that was because she was always praised for her beauty or her outfit, not because of some unknown girl trying to steal her dream man There were numerous eligible suitors matching in and out of the mansion daily to ask for her hand in marriage, but for some reason she couldn't get her heart off the king, he was a very handsome man, and his looks surpasses most
