Mila and Adrian stood in place as Felicia and Amanda matched to the center of the throne room. They seemed to be shocked as neither of them found their voice to utter a word. Mila couldn't understand why Felicia would want to sabotage her. She knew anything Felicia wanted to say would be something that would put her in trouble at this point"What are you both doing here?" Adrian finally spoke."Well, you invited almost everyone, Your Majesty. And I thought I should come and make this announcement. And thank God Mila is here to witness it. After all, she is the subject of this topic," Felicia declared. "What do you have to say?" Adrian asked, squinting his eyes at both of them. "Well..." Felicia stared and turned to face everyone. "I just found out the strangest thing," she said.She paused for a while and observed the crowd. Their interest seemed to be piqued at this point. "Well, this here is a lady from another pack," she dragged the quiet Amanda in front of her.Mila studied the
MILA's POVMila woke up with joy and happiness. All her dreams of the future are looking so promising after she found her mate at the mating ball ceremony that was held over the weekend.It turns out that Arnold, her childhood friend and the son of Alpha Albert is her fated mate. Arnold was also excited to be mate to her. Mila’s father is the beta of the Duskfire pack,which makes their mating a strong union for the pack and is celebrated by all the members of the pack.The sudden loud bang of the door sent chills down my spine as I ran out to see the cause of the commotion.“Find him and bring him out here!!! Alpha Albert, the Alpha of Duskfire Pack, dressed in an expensive-looking silver tunic that did almost a good job at hiding his chubby physique and big belly, thundered at the guards as they moved away to drag my father out of his room.I flinched at his voice as my blood ran cold. I have never seen this version of Alpha Albert before. At fifty years old, he was already sprouting
Time moves so fast as Mila makes plans on how to visit Arnold in his room without being seen by any of the guards.After cleaning the dusty cottage and making it a bit manageable to live in without suffocating, Mila sneaked out of the cottage to go look for Arnold with her heart pounding in fear of being caught by the guards.When she successfully entered the building without being seen, she headed straight down to his room but was disappointed to see an empty room.“Is he not back yet from his mission in the Wildfire pack ?” she pondered to herself, praying silently to the moon goddess to spare her father's life before Arnold came back to help plead with his father. As she quickly moved out of the corridor, she heard Arnold's voice in the guest room close to his chamber.She could hear sounds from the door where she stood. “What is Arnold doing in the guest room by this time of the night?”. Mia contemplates on opening the door or leaving. But knowing that her father will be executed
Mila stumbled back to the cottage, her heart torn with pain as she curled up on the floor crying loudly, unable to comprehend why her life had taken a sad turn overnight.She cried all night at the false accusations of her dad and Arnold's betrayal. The words of Arnold's rejection kept echoing in her ears."Moon goddess, why me?” she sobbed loudly, knowing that her father would be executed in the morning and she couldn't do anything about it.She cried throughout the night before she became exhausted and fell asleep on the cold ground.**************The next morning Mila stood watching with the crowd as her father was being beaten and dragged out in the open to be executed.It was unbelievable to her how her life changed drastically in a day. She was the most admired wolf because of her beauty and status in the pack, especially after the mating ball ceremony when she discovers the Alpha’s son and her childhood friend is her mate.Now she has nothing to be admired for. Her father is on
Mila's mind was determined to find out the truth and clear her father's name.“No. I won't accept the accusations made against him.” I will make sure the truth finds its way to the surface, no matter how hard it's buried. In the end, the truth will be revealed , no matter how long it takes me. I have to be strong to uncover the truth behind my father's tarnished reputation. Mila resolved within herself after crying throughout the night.******The days following after her father's execution, and Arnold’s betrayal and rejection were worse for Mila. The work became so tasking and busy for her. She was ordered to do all sorts of odd jobs like; cleaning, mopping the floor, washing clothes, and other demeaning work in the pack as an Omega.The pack enforcer told her it was part of her punishment for her father's betrayal of the pack, and strictly warned her not to go anywhere beyond the pack house and the cottage where she lives.Mila was cleaning near the pack office when one of the guar
MiLA’s POVI was stupefied as I felt the disappearance of the pack link.“Guards, make sure I don't see her anywhere near the Duskfire Pack, she is now a rogue and a threat to this pack,” Alpha Albert warned the guards and walked away, followed by Arnold and Amanda, who sneered at me coldly.I quickly ran into the forest when I saw the enforcers coming close to me with deadly looks on their faces.“Argh! What more do you have for me, Moon goddess?”. I have experienced the worst things ever in the history of my existence since I turned eighteen and met my mate.Firstly, my father was falsely accused and convicted of betraying the pack, leading to his execution. This act of injustice left a deep cut in my heart, losing my father in such a horrific and unjust manner. The trauma and grief have fueled my anger and somewhat made me resentful towards the yet-to-be-identified persons who framed my father.Secondly, I was demoted from being a beta’s daughter to the lowest rank in the pack Omeg
Mila's PovI stared in awe as the masculine man came closer to me. He exuded authority and power. He stood tall, his broad shoulders squaring off against the room. The sharp lines of his jawline and chiseled features seemed chiseled by the moon goddess herself. Although his piercing gaze sparkled with anger, it was drawing me in like an ocean. I know I shouldn't be drooling over a man this way, I couldn't help it. He walked over to me and squinted his eyes. I gulped hard. As if he felt, the bonding, he frowned and froze when our eyes met. He didn't speak a word and left. I stared at his retreating figure, confused. It was obvious he felt the mating bond. Or was it something else? Almost immediately, another man walks in with a smile. "Hello. You're awake," he said, clasping his hands together in delight "Yes, I am. But where am I?" I asked, still confused."Well, this is Mystic pack, and I am the Beta, Max. And it turns out that you collapsed at the border," he explained.This Max
Adrian's POVI hurried back to my study, my heart hammering in my chest. Why would the moon goddess decide to bring a mate to me now? I don't want a mate. Not now, not ever. She wasn't even from this pack. The connection and bond were so strong, if not, I would have said I was assuming things. I decided to come out after calming down. I needed to eat my lunch. I was famished and I knew I couldn't work on an empty stomach. Normally, I would be served in my study, but I already told the kitchen staff that I would be having lunch with my Beta. I wanted to have lunch with Max. It had been a long time we had lunch as friends and not just an Alpha and his Beta stuff. I walked over to the dining room and found her again. Why was she everywhere? She was munching on the food like she had been starving for years. It wasn't a lovely sight to behold. She looked so unkept now that I was looking at her without all the lights dimmed. She stiffed her body as if shivers ran through it. I think she n

Felicia walked up to Amanda's room and knocked. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing the beautiful redhead."Good morning," Amanda said, staring blankly at Felicia."Good morning to you too," Felicia retorted and made her way inside, even though Amanda didn't want her to come in. "And you are?" Amanda asked, following Felicia, who had made her way to the couch and sat down."My name is Felicia," she replied "Ok..." Amanda replied, staring at her in confusion as she didn't know her and she just barged into her room."Sorry for barging into your room. I didn't want someone to see me. I can't risk it, not with what I have planned," she explained."Which is?" Amanda replied slowly. She seemed to sense Felicia was someone who was going to be useful to her mission in this pack. "Well, let me start from the beginning. You are from wildfire pack right?" she asked.Amanda frowned. She hasn't told anyone she was from the wildfire pack. She had made sure to keep it a secret. Only A
Mila's POV "Why do I have to go with you?" I asked, trying to get an explanation from Adrian. He had woken me up extra early and made me dress up. He wanted me to follow him to the throne room. Why would I do that? If he was having a meeting that early, why did he have to drag me with him?"You are not supposed to ask questions," he ordered."But I can't blindly follow you to the throne room. Isn't it prohibited?" I asked, feeling nauseous at the thought of me being in there with him."I have something to announce and you have to be present," he explained."What do you want to announce and why do I need to be there," I demanded adamantly.He stopped for a moment and stared at me with an amused expression. It looked like he wanted to say something, but instead, he chucked and continued walking. I sucked in a haggard breath as we reached the big door. Adrian turned to give me one last glance. "Once we're inside, make sure to be close to where I can reach for you. There would be an e
Max's full concentration was on the files placed on his table. It was almost midnight, and Felicia was already sleepy. He shook his head as he stared at her. She had been so enthusiastic about finding out more about Mila. But now, here she was sprawled on the bed, sleeping soundly without a care in the world. He flipped from page to page but found nothing interesting about her other than her background and why she wasn't in her pack anymore. According to the file, her father was killed unjustly, and her mate was taken from her by another woman. Her life seemed to be a pitiful one, but here she was, living so carefree. There wasn't a moment since she came to the palace that she was seen wallowing in sadness. Max smiled at her strength. He couldn't help but admire her. Although she looked weak, she was strong emotionally. He had been studying her file for hours but hadn't seen anything suspicious in it. Maybe there was more to her? Or Felicia was just paranoid as she didn't like Mila
Mila's POV I felt a hot slap land on my cheeks and my eyes widened in surprise. Did this lady just slap me? "What did you just do?" I asked, confused as to what I had done to make her slap me."That's for your foul mouth," she said, anger oozing out of her body. Before I could utter another word, she started pushing me toward the entrance door. I shrugged my body out of her hold and snapped "Leave me alone, I can go out myself," I said in anger. "Better do," she scoffed and folded her hands together.I opened the door and stepped out into the choked hallway. I could feel it was late already and it was going to be midnight in a few hours. Adrian is supposed to be on his way back to the palace by now. I walked into the garden and sat there in silence. The tears that I had been holding since she slapped me began spilling from my eyes. They made their way out, feeling as if they had been trapped in my eyes for a thousand years. I could feel them, hot and wet. I looked around in the
Amanda's POVAmanda stormed into her room in anger. Why did she have to see Mila here, of all places? She should have just vanished into thin air or gone somewhere far away. How was she supposed to achieve her aim in this pack when Mila was now the muse of Adrian? How would she get close to Adrian and get the information she needs? She needed to act fast so she couldn't be won over by Mila. She needed to get rid of Mila. And to get rid of Mila, she wouldn't go straight up to harm her, she has to make sure she does it slow and steady. She has to think of a way that Mila wouldn't suspect. A way that no one would suspect. Even if it means eliminating her, she wouldn't mind. Amanda sat down on the couch in her room and smirked slightly.*Mila's POVI stared at myself in the mirror while arranging my hair. I had left the office as it was time for Adrian to go to his scheduled meeting. I just finished taking a shower and trying to prepare for bed when I heard a slight knock at the door.
Amanda walked into Adrian's office, her face passive yet seductive. Adrian had his eyes closed as he was feeling stressed and he had another meeting in the next thirty minutes. He felt his door open but didn't bother opening his eyes."Your majesty," Amanda whispered Adrian finally opened his eyes. He stared at Amanda with tired eyes. He didn't want anyone disturbing his peace."Hello, Amanda. Do you need something?" he asked, his eyes briefly staring at the tray she held. It was obvious she brought his meal for him."I brought you lunch. You didn't come down for breakfast and lunch. I thought you might be hungry so I quickly made this for you," she explained."You didn't have to do it," he said, sighing."But I already did," she said, placing the tray in front of him.Adrian took one look at the food and smiled softly. "You can take it away. I appreciate your effort, but I don't think I want to eat," he said.Amanda frowned. "I had this made myself,'' she said "Well, that's why I
Max walked briskly toward his room. Felicia was sitting down calmly on the couch. She stood up abruptly when she sighed Max. "Did you find anything?" she asked. Max dropped the file on the table and sighed."We can't do this here. Let's go to my place," he announced."Why? But she's here and it'll be easier since Adrian gave you this room anytime you want to stay in the palace," Felicia pouted. "I know. But I think Mila must have seen her name in one of the files as I dropped it," he explained."You dropped the file?" Felicia's eyes widened in shock."She bumped into me and it dropped on the floor. She wanted to help me pick it up when her eyes must have glanced briefly at it," he said."She might have not seen it. Maybe you're paranoid," she reasoned.Max shook his head in nagation."I don't think so. The way she looked at me confused, I think she might have seen it," he answered. Felicia seemed to think for a while before sighing "I guess we don't have a choice then. We should
Mila's POV I quickly averted my gaze and closed my eyes. I felt him chuckle before his lips touched my forehead."Good morning," he said.I closed my eyes tightly and didn't respond. What would I say? Sorry for checking you out."You're asleep?" he asked I didn't respond. I felt him leave the bed but stopped midway. Where was he? I felt both his hands run down my thighs and excitement crept in. Before I could brace myself for what was coming, his tongue slid up and down my clitoris. I moaned lightly as he bit it a little."What are you doing?" I managed to speak. "Really? Now you can speak?" he asked, inserting one finger into me.I gasped as he thrust in and out slowly. "Ad... Adr...Adrian," I moaned, while my hand made its way to grab his hair."You like it?" he asked, still fingering me "Yeah," I inched toward him.He laughed lightly got up from the bed and walked toward the bathroom."What are you doing?" I called out, panic rising. "I'm going to freshen up," he said and sco
