Audrey's POV.

I sighed in frustration, I didn't want to see him, at least not yet. I was still very much hurt about what I had seen yesterday in the garden.

Seeing his face would only make this hurt I felt, a little more intense. It would only reawaken the sour sensations I have been having at the back of my throat since yesterday and I didn’t want that.

I trudged slowly behind Adler, with my heart thumping frantically in my chest. I already knew what would happen if I saw him today, I would be upset again as I could still see his lips on hers whenever I closed my eyes and I wasn’t sure I wanted that to happen.

I could still remember how they had kissed and what Maria had said about them too; it kept repeating itself in my head over and over again until I couldn't stop myself anymore. I felt tears spill out of my eyes ever so slowly and seeped all the way down until I was practically sobbing as I walked.

I felt Adler turn back quickly, and as soon as he did, his gaze landed on me inst

    Kaden's POV."Damn it." I swore.I didn't know why I was so affected by the fact that she saw me kissing Shantel; and was also shocked at the fact that I was desperately trying to explain things to her even when it wasn’t that necessary.She was the reason I kissed Shantel, I kept having this urge to kiss her, hold her, and even fuck her, but I couldn’t do it..Instead, I resolved to Shantel just to vent out all of my hidden discomfort and also to forget about how I was feeling about her; But I also couldn't do all that, I couldn't push my feelings away anymore. They were all consuming, and drew me in a lot of the time."Dammit," I whispered again, looking around the room and seeing no one. This was getting out of hand.I can't believe I was pacing around the meeting room like a raving lunatic because of my feelings for a mere Omega. An omega who had finally been able to capture me in her firm grasp.Not wanting anyone to walk in on me while I was like this, I quickly went up to my r

    Audrey's POV.I was about to walk out on him when I suddenly felt his hands go around my upper arm to hold me in a firm grip.He pulled me into himself roughly and when I tried to struggle out of his grip, he immediately slammed me against the wall. I suddenly felt warm all over, especially around where our skins touched.I gasped in surprise when he pressed his warm lips against mine and forcefully began to shove his warm tongue down my throat.I gasped trying to shove him away, but his grip only tightened on me. He pushed himself further down against me until our bodies touched, and we literally began to share the same breath.He suddenly pulled his mouth from mine and started kissing my neck, pressing feverish kisses down its length and leaning hickeys in his wake.A small moan left my lips, I couldn't even control it."Please... Don't do this," I whispered weakly, though I didn't really mean that, I just said it so as not to seem wanton. I wanted him to touch me, and have been wi

    Audrey's POV."I'm Audrey." I whispered skeptically, I was a little still scared of the strange man but I refused to let it show, and instead raised my gaze to meet his captivating ones.A few seconds of awkward silence followed, and when he still wouldn’t say a word, I asked; “so why have you been looking for me?”He stalked closer towards me, and I frowned, practically resisting the urge to run in the other direction. I couldn't help but notice how good looking he was and how tight his shirt clung to his torso like a second skin.He was obviously a sight to behold, but at the same time, I found myself comparing his good looks to that of King Kaden."I'm Aidan." He said slowly, offering his hands.I accepted them cautiously and shook them, desperately trying not to allow his grip become a little too firm on mine ."I won't hurt you." He said. "… and I've only been meaning to talk to you." He added.I wondered what I did wrong and what he wanted with to discuss with a slave, and so I

    Audrey's POV"Where are you taking me?" I asked again, I've seen him angry before, but I haven't seen him this upset.His eyes were bloodshot and he was sweating profusely. I can hear his breath coming in ragged gasps, like an animal caught in the trap of its prey. He had one hand wrapped around my upper arm, as though it might stop me from getting away from him if I decided to run, which seemed very possible with the way that I could feel his grip on my arm."Just calm down," he said quietly. "Please." His voice sounded so broken, I couldn't believe that I hadn't even noticed the sound of it before. It was more than just the way that he was speaking; he sounded so lost. It's what made me hesitate, made me pause for a second longer when I tried to wriggle out of his grip. "Please just let me go."He tightened his grip slightly and I yelped at the sudden pain that shot through my arm. I was going to scream, but I bit down hard on my lip instead."Just listen to me." He snapped.I di

    Audrey's POV."What happened?" I asked, King Kaden stared at me, with an expression I couldn't place."You suddenly fainted." He replied.I nodded, taking a sip of water from my cup as he sat opposite me."Are you okay? Did your heart stop beating or something?" He asked me.I shook my head in response, "No, but that's strange."I sighed, looking down at the floor. The room was silent for what felt like hours."Are you okay?" He asked again.I nodded, still feeling numb, and not even the pain from my hand could distract me. King Kaden looked over at me and smiled. He then reached out his arm, and grabbed my hand, holding it in between his two large hands.It felt weird seeing him hold me that way, like he cared about me all of a sudden.I didn't want to feel this way, this is the guy I'm supposed to hate for his behavior, I shouldn't be getting attached to him after he says anything.My eyes flicker up, and I look into his grey eyes staring at me with sympathy."Do...Do you really ca

    Audrey's POV."What's going on here?" King Kaden barked whilst glancing darkly between I and the head slave whose hand was still raised in the air, in a position that showed that she was ready t o strike me again."My king, I'm sorry, I was punishing her for her recent behaviors." The head slave rushedout quickly with her head bowed. She looked quite petrified, and in a deep dark corner of my heart, I was glad that the king had stepped in to scare her a little on my behalf."What behavior?" King Kaden tilted his head whilst glancing between I and the head slave, and when she still silent say a thing, he scoffed."She uhm… stays out late and the rest; and I’m only doing my job by keeping her in order" She stuttered fearfully. I could literally see her hands and feet shaking as she spoke and it filled me with so much joy that she was being given a taste of her medicine."You don't need to explain yourself! She works for me and so do you…Which gives you no right to hit her, especially

    Kaden's POV.I couldn't stay away from her, even after I had told myself severally that I would. It was so bad that I couldn’t even seem to go a few hours without thinking about her; without craving her; it was beginning to rile me up.The idea of a person having this much control over me didn’t sit well with me; in fact there were times I loved to blame the moon goddess for presenting me with an issue this mighty.The fact that I didn't even know if it was the mate pull or something else entirely that made me want to spend all my time with her irked me because I was never a person who wasn’t sure of his actions.I was addicted to every moment I spent with her, even when she was upset with me, or when I did something I didn't want to do and I pissed her off.But no matter how hard I tried to resist, I just couldn't help myself.It started slowly at first but then it grew stronger each passing day until now that I can barely remember anything else aside from how beautiful she is, and h

My lungs burned as the air became thinner and my muscles were already starting to scream in protest from all of the running.Suddenly, I felt a strong gust of wind hit me right in the face, making tears prick at the corners of my eyes."Let's go." Maria gasped when she noticed some masked men running towards us. They were so big and so ugly it was pretty difficult to look up at them,We both stopped abruptly, staring into their dark, menacing eyes.Maria looked around frantically for something that we could use to protect ourselves from the attack and when she still didn’t see anything, she fidgeted. Suddenly, her eyes widened likea light bulb had been turned on and then her hands gripped mine tightly as she pulled me towards her direction, pulling me behind a large oak tree

  • The Revenge Of A Rejected Mate   Epilogue

    With my hands planted firmly on my waist, I stared confusedly at the two crying babies in front of me and no matter what I did or said to calm them down, nothing seemed to be working. Seemingly Lost in confusion and not knowing what to do, I tried hard to comfort the crying babies in front of me but they instead laid, crying tirelessly that at a point, I did not know what else to do for they could not stop crying. I carried one of them in my arms and began to rock it gently, the other laid in the crib built for the two babies. I continued this way, giving turns to each of them as I held them in my arms attempting to get them to fall asleep but they wouldn’t. That did little to make them quit though and I grew frustrated but I knew I could not give up. I had tons of work to do, a lot of paperwork also and the thought of attending to those immediately after dropping these kids filled me with so much tiredness that I felt I would drop dead. Since the takeover from Jacob, there

    Audrey's POVFeeling happy and fulfilled that I had fulfilled my words and that I had been able to Kill Jacob in the exact way I had imagined it, I smiled to myself thinking of how this was the first time I felt like I had done something worth deserving as I stared down at his decapitated body which was now covered in a of his own blood, and could vividly see the hole I made on his heart.A smile got stuck on my lips and I couldn't let it go. I allowed it, wondering why Ian had this weird stare on me."You finally killed the predator, after being the prey for so long. You're taking over the predator's land." I muttered to myself as I stared at his blood dripping neck, making trails as I walked, I wanted them to see that I had killed Jacob and ended his reign of terror and destruction.I walked out to the corridor where she listened to the silent gasps and the scared look on the faces of the people.I held the head in my hands and showed it to the people."This marks the end of this he

    Audrey's POVI knew Jacob was a bit surprised that I had smiles all over my face, despite the fact that he had a knife pressed on my neck.He was a bit stubborn and I wondered what I would say to him that would make him move the knife away from my neck despite all the white lies I had told him. It was a little confusing to watch him and the cynical smile on his face and at the same time, I was bothered because I knew he was psychotic and could do anything."You could just remove this knife, I would surely guarantee your safety." I said quietly as he pressed the knife deeper into my neck, it was hurting but I couldn't let out a tear, knowing that it would mean defeat and I hated being defeated by clumsy enemies such as Jacob. "Do you expect me to believe you?" He retorted sharply as he pressed the knife, adding a little force to it. When he wasn’t watching, I tilted my head slowly, in a bid to pull my neck away from the sharp blade. "Come on, you have my word, I would surely beg Kad

    Kaden's POVI loved the fact that Logan had to turn against his pack, knowing fully well that Jacob turned them against him. Having killed some of his men, Logan grew tired of killing and felt like setting it amicably.They surrounded him as he let down his guard, he told his men to do the same as they all stopped fighting, Jacob's soldiers were afraid, I guess filled with that thought that they were just leading them to a trap."Why won't you fight us?" The Chief guard questioned as the guard paved the way for him to walk through. "I can't, we can keep on wasting our strength on each other when the real devil is up there watching us." Logan explained, wondering how Logan tends to make this work, it would be hard and it might get ugly. "What do you mean?" The Chief guard was confused. "Jacob is a man that would surely have you all killed if need be. He wouldn't hesitate to threaten the lives of your family if you dare flout his orders" Logan uttered, wearing a smile on his face, ho

    Kaden's POVI felt uneasy, knowing that I had my reservations with Audrey's plot, but I had to give in, she had it all planned out and now that I thought about it, mine had loopholes.If we had attacked Jacob as I planned, he would have escaped or better still led us into one of his unforseen traps which would leave us in jeopardy; harming my men, weakening my manpower and having a strong hold on my resources.But with Audrey's plot, she handles on the inside, while we take care of his men outside which would make everything even and provide Jacob with an extremely slim chance of escaping or having to use someone as bait while trying to escape. "I just hope Audrey succeeds with her plan, I'll take care of these ones here with my own plan," I muttered to myself, knowing that my men were also waiting for my signal.I assured myself, rigging off every fear and trying to remain at peace as I waited for a signal to show that Audrey was in trouble. For now though, I hadn't felt any pa

    AUDREY’S POVI waited for Jacob’s reply to my sarcastic but true comment about the palace but it did not come, the intent of it had not fazed him a bit I noticed and I began to wonder what went on through his mischievous mind. Jacob gently placed his arm around my back and I flinched at the feel of his strong arms around me but let him guide me to a chair close to his throne. Surprisingly he had not still said anything in reply to the view I had concerning the place, perhaps he had sensed the sarcasm in my voice even though I suspected that he knew what I said was true. He acted really sweet towards me while I acted according to the script I was writing in my mind.I sat down calmly on the chair he had offered me and he sat on the enormous throne. We started to talk and he asked about my trip there, asking if I had any troubles on my way. I sweetly replied to him, not forgetting to remind him of how I was capable of taking care of myself. I wondered why he and Kaden always felt that

    Audrey’s POVDespite the anger I felt coursing through my veins and spiking up my nerves, I managed to force a smile as the soldier who stood guard at the door to the throne room opened the huge doors for me to pass through. I stepped into the room slowly as if expecting to be met with some kind of trap and then stopped at some point to take my first real glance at the expanse of the room and the striking view ahead of me. I marveled at the sheer beauty it emitted but couldn’t help but think about how it had lost its shine. The palace, even though ancient as it was, was one of the most mesmerizing views I had ever had the pleasure of seeing. It looked different from what I remembered it to be; the structures were getting old, the decorations were fading out, and what made the room gorgeous most was no longer there – the glitter of people laughing and cheering happily nonstop, in love and harmony.The memory of how the palace used to be filled with love and glamor when it was still m

    Audrey's POVI sat with my hands folded in front of me as I had become more than a little tense due to how much I was wondering what Kaden wanted to tell me that made him keep me in a weird suspense. I hated the fact that my heart raced, hoping that the news wouldn't affect me, or have anything to do with Kaden or Shantel but then from the expression on his face, it was difficult to ascertain if the news coming was a bad one or a good one. I gulped.Filling my head with irrelevant thoughts, I was getting confused as I felt someone holding my left palm, Shantel tilted her head upwards and down, assuring me that all would be fine. I hearkened to her with the evidence of doubt still writhing in me."You're making me uneasy, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" I stuttered as Kaden bowed his head down as he said in a low tone;"I can't tell you, when she's around. She has to leave us, it's personal and urgent.""That won't be possible, Shantel says. If I deserve to listen to this new

    Audrey's POVI hated the fact that I had soiled my fingers trying to take down a guard, knowing that this was a test to show my strength and skills which I knew I didn't have. I just wanted to be able to fight off my enemies with my hands and legs in combat, which would be to my advantage and would come in handy whenever I would need to protect myself, knowing fully well that this was dark times and that Kaden's soldiers were dying in their numbers.It was hard to believe it, but they would just go missing and their dead body would be found, wondering what he was planning or his plans on how to catch this culprit that has murdered many men. I knew this was a plot to reduce Kaden's man power, and it was working effectively. Jacob knew this, and was using it to his advantage. "You're doing quite well, keep it up" Shantel said to me even though I knew I wasn’t doing any good. I knew that she was only being helpful, the smile on her face said the words she was hiding.
