Third POV. “Guards, lock her up till this incident is further investigated,” Aiden said coldly.Aurora, Elana, and Marcus smirked at this since they had wanted to teach the girl a lesson. Even if it wasn’t them who were going to do it, they felt as if they had won a battle they were fighting on the battlefield. On the other hand, Leila was just looking at the scene in front of her coldly.“What? Aiden, how can you do this to me!” Madeline asked loudly, displeasing Aiden in the process.“Do what to you? What have I done to you?” Aiden asked calmly but his eyes were cold,“Why are you asking the guards to take me to the dungeon?” Madeline asked, clearly afraid.Although there had not been any presence of the guards had been called, that didn’t mean that they weren’t there. To protect the king, there were guards in secret but it was still a mystery how Madeline had successfully passed through them. Thinking of this, Aiden’s calm face turned gloomy and cold as he never liked someone goin
Third POV. “No? You are more shameless than I thought. Do you think that could be mated with such a person? If I am not mistaken, you were trying to sabotage my relationship with my mate just to separate us. Am I right?” Aiden asked calmly but his eyes had a murderous glint.Hearing this, Jordan’s eyes turned cold. He only knew that Madeline had sneaked in and that was the reason he had come but he had not thought the reason behind it. They all knew how obsessed Madeline was with the queen’s title but he had not expected it to be this much. At first, they had all thought that that was her father’s idea after he tasted the wealth and power thus they pitied her and treated her well but after some time, they started seeing her true colors and got to understand her.“No, I wasn’t here for that,” Madeline quickly denied it.“Then what were you here for?” Jordan asked coldly.Madeline gritted her teeth as she clenched her fists after hearing the question. She couldn’t understand what she h
Third POV.Aurora asked as she ran towards Leila, nearly knocking her down.Hearing the question, both Elana and Marcus were brought back to reality and remembered why they were outside late at night in the first place.Leila looked at Aurora in confusion since she couldn’t understand why the girl was asking her that.Seeing her puzzled look, Aurora bit her lips before saying, “Well, I hope that there wasn’t any misunderstanding between you and my brother because of the witch.”Leila lowered her head in shame because she knew that she had clearly misunderstood and nearly rejected her mate because of that. She was afraid that they might all be disappointed in her and thus didn’t dare say anything and hoped that Aiden would snitch on her.“Well, you aren’t mistaken, she did. She had made things difficult for me. At that time, I was so afraid of losing her that I wasn’t thinking clearly. When I failed to answer her, she took my silence as a yes. That I had the intention of making Madeline
Third Pov.They all turned around and saw the old King making them wonder whether they were so loud that he was even woken up.“Why are you all standing here?” Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping at this hour?’ he asked once more when he neared them but they lowered their heads out of guilt.“Daddy, you really can’t blame us for wanting to spend time together can you?” Aurora asked coquettishly as she held her dad’s hand firmly.Looking at how her daughter was behaving, the old man shook his head and sighed since he knew that she was never up to no good every time she came to this floor. He kept thinking about what she was up to, whether she was discovered or whether both Elana and Marcus were in that with her. He had heard some words thus he had an idea of what was going on.“Your majesty, we…”Elana tried to explain but was interrupted by him.“Why are you still calling me that even when I said that both of you are now my kids? As your father, aren't all of you supposed to call me dad
Third POV. The first rays of sunlight lit up their room and the dawn chorus of melodic bird songs drifted in as a sign that the day dawned crisp and clear. As Leila turned around and opened her eyes by mistake, she was hit by the rays of the sun making her groan. Hearing the sound, Aiden knew that she was wide awake but he still couldn’t help himself from chuckling.“Good morning, mate,” he said as he drew the curtain to allow more sunrays and lighten the room.“Do you hate me that much?” she asked in a sleepy voice but didn’t dare to open her eyes.“Why?” Aiden asked since she was confused.“I am sleepy, can’t you let me sleep a little longer?” she asked.“As much as I wanted that, I can’t. It’s already past nine o’clock and people are waiting for you downstairs,’ he said as he pulled away the duvets uncovering her.When Leila heard that, she was hit by the past events and remembered that she wasn’t at her parent's house where she could even wake up in the afternoon if she wanted. S
Third POV. They all looked at the person who interrupted them and frowned.Leila and her maternal family recognized him as one of the men who escorted them out of the ballroom when the rogues attacked but they still couldn’t remember his name.“What does he want?” Aiden was coldly clearly not pleased with the interruption.“He claims that his daughter went missing yesterday night,” Matteo answered as he looked at his partner who had just walked in with him.Hearing the answer, Aiden chuckled coldly as he knew that whatever was going to take place wouldn’t be so simple or peaceful. He hated it since they had just woken up and they had not even taken breakfast.“Since it seems that it is a very important matter, as the king, I can’t turn a blind eye to it, can I?” he asked coldly without asking anyone in particular.Everyone was holding their breaths since the room’s temperature was so low and they were also afraid of making him mad.“Since I can’t, why don’t you invite that old fellow
Third POV. “What are the elders doing here and there is no meeting today?” Aiden asked with a frown on his face. The others were also confused because nothing was making sense. Simon took Aiden’s action as he was afraid of getting caught. He sneered inwardly as he waited to watch what he would do or how he would be able to get away from the Lycan's rule. “I am the one who called them here,” he said, making everyone look at him. “Why? What are you planning to do now?” the old King asked. Deep down, he regretted giving the man a chance to prove himself since he had only brought his son sadness and wasted everyone’s time just to get what he wanted. He wished that he had listened to the rest when they warned him not to. But thinking of how things were and the fact that they needed someone to take over Josiah’s position. “What am I planning? I am not planning anything,” Simon answered as he snorted. “Then why did you call them here? Do you think that everyone is as idle as you are?”
Third POV. Even though he did not complete his words, everyone understood what he was trying to say. “I ….I… I don’t know what you are trying to say,” Simon denied as he hid his panic. “You don’t? Simon, we know what you are trying to do. We know that you can’t accept the fact that your daughter will be the next queen of our land. That’s why you can’t even respect Leila. You are jealous of her,” Mike said calmly but his eyes were looking at him sternly. “You just can’t accuse me without any evidence. That’s slandering and you will get punished for slandering me,” Simon roared as he was tired of listening to Mike as he was afraid it was too late. The other elders understood what Mike was trying to say and it was proved right when they saw his reaction. They sighed as if they had ever thought that he could do such a thing to get a high position and become rich and respected. They even suspected that he could kill the king if he could get a chance so that he could be the king. “Simo
Third POV.“Lyannette, go back home. Your father and I will go down there to see where we can help if Leila is in danger,” Selene said to her daughter who was walking out of Erebus's mansion.“Okay. I will be busy here anyway,” she said as she winked at her mom who chuckled as she understood what she was up to.Although it was risky doing so, she knew that Lynette was stronger than others thus she couldn't be defeated. Also, she would ask some of the warriors to be at her disposal if she needed their help.Erebus stood still as he was confused cause he didn’t know what to do.At the rogue's pack:Amaya looked at Oizys coldly as if she had never seen someone with the guts to hurt her. She looked at the puppet that had walked in with Oizys and had been standing behind her as if it were her bodyguard. The more she looked at it the more she felt familiar, making her frown as the only people she was supposed to feel familiar with were her mother and Elaine.The puppet felt eyes on it making
Third POV. “Dad?” Elana asked as she couldn’t believe it. Although it had been a long time since she saw her father, she couldn’t still recognize his voice anytime she heard it. She turned around and looked at the man who was at the entrance. If one didn’t know, they would mistake Josiah for being older than the other man because the man still looked young. “Yes it is me, my dear child,” Elias said with a smile on his face when he hurriedly walked towards his eldest daughter. Elana forgot how the others always saw her, ran towards her father, and jumped into his arms. “Dad. Why did you leave us?” she asked in a whisper as she cried. She poured all the grievances she had suffered and she had endured cause she didn’t want either Marcus or Leila to know on her father’s shoulder. “I am sorry dear but I have always had an eye on you guys,” Elias said as he patted her back as a way to soothe her. Hearing this, Elana stopped crying and looked at her father with anger in her eyes. “
Third POV. The more Oizys continued to inject Leila with the drug the more she frowned. It was supposed to work after ten times but she had injected her more than twenty times. Cause of this, she started to doubt whether Leila’s darkness was really locked up or not. “Leila, are you sure your darkness hasn’t awakened yet?” she asked with a frown on her face. As someone who has been taught how to read people’s expressions, Leila could tell that she had continued playing dumb for a long time making Oizys start suspecting her. Leila looked at her innocently and in confusion. “Aunt, you know I don’t know how to tell when my darkness is awake,” Leila said, making the alpha chuckle while Oizys face slapped herself cause she now understood why Leila wasn’t saying anything else apart from crying out loudly when she was being injected. She felt frustrated at how stupid she was believing that the little girl could detect it. “What are you feeling currently?” Oizys asked with a bit of worr
Third POV. “Why did I even marry you in the first place?” Erebus continued cussing at the woman making everyone halt what they were doing and looked at him. They had never seen him be so angry before thus it was quite shocking. Lynnette looked at her father in amusement and knew that if things escalated to this point, he might make them suffer so much. Now, she indeed understood her value and position in her father’s heart. “Dear, what are you saying? Don’t forget that I am even more pure than you! You have darkness in you which causes you to be evil. Can’t you think that it was the darkness inside them that made them be how they are now? Be so malicious and have the urge to see blood?” the wife asked, making Erebus even more furious. “You woman! I will kill you today!” he shouted angrily but the woman just rolled her eyes as she wasn’t afraid of death cause she knew that she would still die today even if she remained silent. “I know that even if you won’t kill me your precious d
Third POV. The almighty Erebus coward upon hearing the stern angelic yet cold voice. He looked in the direction and saw Selene and Endymion walk in. Although he was looking at them, they were looking at Lyannette who was standing beside Erebus as they were shocked to see her there. “Lyannette, what are you doing here?” Endymion asked cause he felt uncomfortable with her standing next to Endymion. He felt as if his precious daughter had been snatched away from him. “I saw guys vanishing and thought you would be in trouble if you didn’t ask the guards to follow you. Cause of that, I was coming to ask Dad to help me find where you two were going but upon coming, I found you had been ambushed hence I had to take care of it,” she answered as she ran to them. “Mom, are you okay?” she asked as she searched for injuries on her body. Selene shook her head as she remembered her husband's words. Truly, Lyannette loved her so much. “Mom, I ask Dad to divorce and kill that woman for wantin
Third POV.Leila cooperated with Oizys to give her what she wanted with an innocent look on her face.Oizys looked at Leila and felt that she was so stupid and she felt that she was as lucky as she would be able to control Leila’s darkness when it awakes as it would have been awakened by her and not its own.“Leila, how are you feeling now?” She asked with an expecting look which made Leila think deeply.“I really don’t know aunty. What should I?” she asked as she pretended to be anxious.Although Oizys was disappointed that Leila couldn’t feel anything, she didn’t show it as she was afraid that Leila would notice something was wrong.“If that’s the case, I will add a few doses then we will see. Okay?” Oizys said with a forced smile on her face.“Okay aunty,” Leila replied as she nodded her head.When she saw the injection, she pretended that she was afraid of it and took a moment to close her eyes so she could try reaching out to Amaya.“What is Amaya doing? Is the drug affecting her?
Third POV.“Lyannette gave birth?” he asked in disbelief.“Yes sir. She has two daughters, Elana and Leila but they have lived all their lives on the land,” the servant answered as she looked up to see the expression on his face.“I have granddaughters? My precious girl has two daughters. Why have I never heard of it?” he asked himself as he still found it unbelievable.The servant was one of Selene’s trusted messengers thus she knew more than everyone else.“I don’t know. Although my Lord didn’t want you to know, didn’t you send your daughter to earth to always keep an eye on Lyannette? Didn’t she tell you?’ she asked as she pretended to be curious.As expected, Erebus' eyes turned cold.“Oizys! Why did she dare keep this from me? Has she forgotten who her father is?” he asked angrily.Lynnette had just arrived at the mansion. Just as she was about to walk through the front door, she saw her mother and stepfather fighting some warriors, making her frown.Although she had followed them
Third POV. “What are you doing?” He asked immediately before the servant went as he felt that his wife was acting rather restless “What are you trying to say? I have to go so that he can save Leila!”Selene told him immediately as she panicked, making Endymion frown. He also had always thought that she didn’t love the girls but seeing her panicking look, she knew that maybe she indeed loved them. “But are you the moon goddess? The rogues also worship you, I am sure that if you talk to their alpha, he will help you out,” he told her. “No, he won’t! His mind has already been corrupted by Oizys. Although I am their goddess. They are now Oizys puppets,” she told him calmly. “Come on, let’s go. If anything happens to her, Lyannette will never forgive me! She might even choose to live with Erebus instead of me,” Selene said with worry in her eyes. “She will understand. She always does. You, on the other hand, are behaving as if she is a tool that you have to fight for,” Endymion said
Third POV. “What drug? Aunty, did you use drugs to make such a puppet?” Leila asked as she pretended to be curious. “It isn’t a puppet! It is one of my armies!” Oizys shouted angrily, making both Leila and the Alpha speechless. “An army? Then what are we? It is just a puppet cause it can’t talk and does everything you tell it to!” The alpha said in his mind but he couldn’t say it lousy afraid of what might become of him. He feared that he might become one of her so-called armies. Leila tried her best to avoid rolling her eyes on her. “Sorry, Aunty. I thought it was a puppet,” Leila said, making Oizys wish she could kill her while Alpha wondered where she had gotten the guts from. ‘Didn’t she know how much the woman hates her cause she keeps provoking her?’ “Aunty, will we be using the drug to make armies?” Leila asked as she knew when to stop. As expected. Oizys facial expression calmed a little bit. “No, but it would help in awakening your darkness,” Oizys told her as she f
