“What does he care? The prince doesn't even care about me,” I complained, continuing to cry until all the makeup on my face was washed off in vain. “Why bother bringing me back to the castle just to ignore me? Why not just dump me like he's dumping me now.”“Luna. The banquet will begin soon. The Prince requests your presence.” An Alpha aide interrupted my time alone with Hesse. My body was forcibly pulled by Hesse to the dressing table.He smeared sticky powder on my swollen eye area. “This way, your eyes can be covered a bit,” he said in a rush. “If the Prince says anything at this point, just say you have a cold allergy. This will save you.”I really didn't want to attend the banquet this morning. What if Prince Charles brought that Omega again? I wasn't ready to accept the pain of rejection like he did with that Omega.I spent the rest of the night thinking hard. I didn't want to admit what was going through my little mind, but there was no other meaning Alexa had unless she was t
Rosie's POV*Four months later*“Congratulations, Luna! Your baby is thriving!” cheered an Alpha doctor named Jessy. She unfolded an examination result in her hand, showing it to me after an hour of her struggling to print out the sheet of paper.“Here, your baby is sleeping peacefully. Your baby is very healthy, Luna. He is not affected at all by your condition. Ah, forgive me. I didn't mean to...” Her hand covered her mouth after seeing my reaction unpleasantly.I shook my head with a smile. “That's okay, Doctor. More than that, is there any sign of awakening from the magic? That's what I came here for,” I asked for the umpteenth time.The eager look on her face faded into awkwardness. As I waited silently for the answer to come out of her mouth, the doctor got up from her chair and left me alone in the royal medical room.“Looks like not for today either, i guess,” I muttered to myself. Since I had nothing to do here, I followed the doctor's departure and made my way to my room. Ri
“What's going on?” A voice interrupted our conversation. Prince Charles had returned to the palace without the sound of the carriage accompanying him. He stood in front of me, his shadow obscuring the rising sun.In the darkness of his shadow, a pair of irises flashed sharply at me. Suddenly, I turned my face away because I couldn't bear to contend with the sharpness of his gaze. I didn't expect him to come this quickly. My body was still stinking from the Alpha William pheromones that had just left. Is it possible that he came here because he smelled it?“What are you doing here?” the question was thrown at me, its tone cold and intimidating. My body seemed to be stripped bare by eyes that scrutinized me from top to bottom, without blinking.“Luna Rosie walked again in her sleep,” Hesse answered quickly. He noticed my trembling lips unable to answer anything. For my sake, he leaned forward, blocking Prince Charles' line of sight that seemed to be referring to something I was hiding f
Rosie Mauvelous POVMy body jumped. The right arm that had been pressing against my body to force me to lie down on the bed, now had a firm grip on my ankle. I struggled from the pain it gave me, before I realized something even more terrifying than that. A thinly torn cloth was used instead of rope to tie my legs to the edge of the bed.The same was true for my right hand. Prince Charles had me lying stiffly on the bed with both hands and feet bound with rope.Hesse was in front of my room, casting a sad look at what was happening at sunrise in this room. He was silent without being able to help, watching with a face full of pity for me, how his prince bound his own Luna like a convict prisoner.“This way, you'll listen more to my warnings,” he hissed coldly. His steps backed up to me, not very far, for his eyes were still fixed on his masterpiece on my body.“Prince Charles!” I rebelled, and began to panic. “I said I wouldn't run away from my room! You misunderstood! Hesse, tell me
Rosie Mauvelous’s POVI'm sorry, Hesse, I had to lie. It would be foolish to think that I fought all this way, despite the confinement, just for the trivial reason of getting some fresh air.My goal from the start was to find out where Prince Charles is. I changed my mind, I'm going to collect my promise to him to avenge my mother's death. With that, I'm sure he'll remember our contract again. The original reason I was able to be in this castle, obeying his every whim, was for one clear reason.“Sorry, Luna, you are forbidden to enter Prince Charles' chambers.” A guard blocked my entrance to the second floor of the castle, which I knew was Prince Charles' room.He pointed his gun at me. At a Luna who, everyone knew, was Prince Vermilion's official mate. His face was full of confidence as she pointed the long sword in front of my bulging belly.“I am your Luna, is this how you honor me?” I chided. One of his friends came to watch afar. Unlike this guard, he was surprised to find me fac
Rosie Mauvelous POV“Agh! You! Don't you dare touch my body!” I rebelled in his embrace. It was so tight that it was suffocating me. However, there was something I couldn't deny. In this cold, endless night, I felt like I was getting a little hold from him.I hate to admit it, but Alpha William's embrace slightly evaporated the tightness in my heart. Converting them into warm teardrops, releasing them in surging energy down my trembling back.“Sobs... Ugh.” As embarrassed as I am to admit it, crying in the arms of an enemy of mine is not really my style. My body moved on its own. The pain surpassed everything, including my pride. So even this disgusting hug felt very warm.“That's right. It's okay, just cry,” he whispered. He brought his face close to my wet cheeks. With his cheek, he wiped away my tears by sharing the wetness. “If knowing my brother will only cause you this kind of pain, I'd rather let her die that day.”“Don't... Ridiculous,” I retorted amidst the sobs that interrup
Rosie Mauvelous POV“Rosie. Are you still unable to communicate with your Wolf?” he asked suddenly becoming serious. The rapid change in his style made it seem like he was hiding something.“What is it, really?” I threw back the question. No one should be able to know such sensitive things. Between my relationship with Liliana, only I should know about it.“And your baby, is the magic still undetectable until now?” he asked again. That line of sharp eyebrows framed the eagle eyes that stared intently at me, scrutinizing every line of light on my face so deeply. I was caught up in his emotions which became more suspicious of him than usual.“I told you, what is it?” I retorted, reluctant to give him a direct answer. “The more you ask, the more I get suspicious. Until you tell me how you got all that important information, don't expect to receive an answer.”He released a breath at the sight of his tired posture. My hand was pulled lightly, led to the mirror beside the wardrobe. He sat
Rosie Mauvelous POVI was having trouble finding anything on this small mirror in my hand. Meanwhile, Alpha William seemed in no mood to help at all. What exactly did he have to show for it? After tearing apart my scarlet dress, there was nothing he could do but stare at the mirror behind my body.'What does he really want to show?' I wondered to myself. I flipped this small mirror over and over like a stupid cat, looking for something invisible to the eye.“I give up,” I said, finally, after spending a full three minutes looking for anything strange in the reflection of my back. “If you're not going to tell me what you want to show me, you'd better get Hesse to prepare a new dress for me.”“You're not careful enough,” he countered. His steps moved toward me, pointing at the reflection in the large mirror for the umpteenth time. “Look again, Luna. It's a waste of time if I say so. Unless you find it yourself, you won't see the mark.”Mark? So what he wanted to show me was a mark on my
Rosie's POVPrince Charles is just using me? Just because my face is similar to that Luna, he mated with me? Just because he wants to make me his replacement Luna? Luna Delancy, she has a very similar face to me. No wonder when I first met her back then, I felt like I saw myself in her.'Could it be that long ago, Prince Charles had it all planned out? There's no way he brought me to this castle without planning it from the start. If so, is the reason he agreed to my revenge agreement because my face resembles Luna Delancy?' My head was spinning thinking about this.I know what I'm witnessing now is just a dream. I realize this isn't real. But a Luna never really just sees a dream without any meaning in it. The dream I see now, too, is part of my successor's past. In other words, the Moon Goddess wanted to show me something.The screeching sound of the horse-drawn carriage tires fighting against the steepness of the broken road woke me up from the darkness of the nightmare abyss. My e
Rosie’s POVLike being pulled into a different dimension, for several moments, my body remained rooted to the spot where I stood with my eyes fixed on Luna standing with Prince Charles in front of me.It was like I was watching a show in which there was a story about a Luna who looked exactly like me, let alone a face that was so similar and almost gapless, it was exactly like mine!In fact, I was so similar to her that I felt as if I was watching my own story from a different world. Because if she really was Prince Charles' fiancée five years ago, that means that Luna no longer exists in my world today.There, I saw Prince Charles who was spending time with Luna in a park in the afternoon. They were both watching the spring flowers fall, occasionally the flowers would fall and hit them. It was like being in a play and they were the main actors, of course there would be a trumpet filled with small colorful paper that would fly up and fall on them when the play finished satisfactorily.
Rosie’s POVThe sound of the horse-drawn carriage running on this uneven road made me feel even more disturbed, its loud sound piercing into my eardrums and making me feel even more annoyed. It was as if something was telling me to get off this horse-drawn carriage immediately, even though I knew for sure that wouldn't be possible.“Stop this carriage, put me down!” Ever since I was forcibly taken by them on this horse, I've always tried to rebel and put up a small fight so that they would stop the horse-drawn carriage that I was currently riding.I didn't want to leave, so I tried my best to make the carriage stop running. At least until I get the chance to get off and escape from here, or until I have the chance to go back and refuse to get on this carriage.But my words were just taken for granted, everyone was still busy with their respective tasks. They were actually doing what Prince Charles ordered to take me away from his palace, no matter if they had to coerce me like this.“
Alexa’s POV'Prince Wiliam, I can hardly believe it was you who did all this to me. If it hadn't been for me experiencing it myself, I might not have believed that you would be so heartless to an omega that you didn't want,' I thought while staring sadly at the Alpha who walked away from my original position, a prince who apparently didn't have the attitude of a knight.Someone who didn't show the slightest compassion even though he knew what I was going to do had a lot of risks, but he stuck with his decision.I know I'm the one who made it all happen in the first place, but doesn't he have a better solution than forcing me to face a fear I've never imagined before?Doesn't he have a better solution without having to humiliate me like this?Really, even crying won't heal the shame inside me. If I could, I would probably prefer to drown or disappear right now, but unfortunately I can't do that at all.These eyes then fell on Prince William who stepped away to leave me in the medical r
Alexa’s POVThe sound of Prince William's punch rang out loudly in the medical room, obviously because he hit me so hard that I fell to the ground in a terrible heap.‘Oh my god, that hurts! I didn't expect Prince William to be able to do this to me, I thought he would never dare to do violence to me because I was a woman here. I didn't expect that he could do that too,'’ I thought.I thought Prince William would feel pity and compassion for me who had gone through so much grief, grief that wasn't just ordinary grief, but I really felt sad and was afraid that I would have problems with the surgery.I was really afraid that if I were to die during the surgery, what would happen to me next? I was afraid of all the bad things that could happen to me now or in the future, but why did Prince William not want to understand my fears at all?Is my life so insignificant to him that he can even ignore these heart-wrenching cries?Not only that, but Prince William was also really so heartless t
William’s POVThe roar of my breath was getting worse as my ears continued to hear what Alexa said, it felt like all my struggles to hold back the turmoil of anger that had infiltrated my heart and head felt increasingly doused with oil to make me even more furious, if only it could be described, this anger must have made my head smoke because it was too long to hold it.I had been trying so hard to hold back my anger so as not to hurt Alexa who was testing my patience so much, but I couldn't hold back any longer. Even my hands were itching not to hurt her, Alexa was really testing my patience and kept provoking my emotions until I couldn't hold it in anymore.Slap!rgh!'' Alexa winced in pain as I unhesitatingly slapped her on the left cheek, furious that the omega kept begging me to save the baby inside her, annoyed that Alexa kept begging me to let the baby grow and be born into the world.Does she want to cause trouble for me and create trouble for herself?That omega really could
William’s POVDozens of times I had asked Alexa what made her choose to keep the pregnancy and hide it from me, ignoring my orders to terminate the pregnancy.But unfortunately Alexa was not at all willing to open her mouth and answer the questions I gave her, she remained silent and closed her mouth tightly.Obviously this made me even angrier at her and made the embers of anger inside me burn even more fiercely, it was only a matter of time before it could come out and burn Alexa without residue.''Alexa, I'm still waiting for an answer from that mouth of yours. You better say it now before I do something to you, you do know that I never play around with what I say, right?'' It was useless, no matter how many times I asked.Alexa would still close her mouth and not be willing to open it to say a word from her mouth. That obviously made me even more angry with what Alexa was doing, her silent action made me even more fed up with the drama she was creating.Alexa acted like I had no r
William’s POV''I really can't wrap my mind around that! How could you choose to keep that baby, when you already know that its presence is very dangerous for our future lives. I really can't digest that. Your decision really can't reach my mind right now, you're so naïve and so stubborn!''''It wasn't just once or twice that I told you to terminate the pregnancy, but why did you insist on keeping it?! Did you not use your brain to think clearly before making that decision!?''''How did you think that through! How could you choose to keep the pregnancy and let the baby continue to grow there until it got that big,'' I scolded Alexa in front of me, not caring about her who was already looking sad and was starting to get confused about what to say in response to my words.''All this time, I've known many other omegas who were far beneath you! But I've never found an omega dumber than you in the entire pack, you don't even have a fraction of the intelligence of those omegas who are far s
William’s POVSeeing how I stared at her and looked at her belly which was different from her normal size, alexa also seemed to be silent and mute. No longer daring to speak or move rebelliously like just a moment ago, she was completely silent with a very clear look of fear in her eyes.It's possible that she realized that she was caught red-handed by me and might not have a chance to escape or make excuses and deflect in front of me, I'm certainly not someone who is very easy to trick.Was it perhaps because of all that that he preferred to keep quiet and shut his mouth tightly?That Omega even just stood still without looking at me at all, he looked like someone who was frightened by the thought of something that he thought he could hide from me all this time but in the end had to be exposed so easily.''Alexa, tell me something. Don't you want to explain anything to me?'' I said, trying to provoke Alexa into talking, even though it all seemed useless. Alexa remained silent without
