Xylah always had a crush on the sexy Alpha Errol. Even though he didn't put her in his eyes and was just her step-sister's friend, a single glance from him was enough to make her knees weak. On the mating hour, Xylah was happy when the moon goddess chose her and Errol as mates, but the next day at the mate feast, Errol cruelly rejected her in front of everyone. As if that wasn't enough, it was revealed to Xylah that she had been betrothed to the useless prince as a bride, a substitute for her elder stepsister.

The whole world is in anticipation and we're sending our hearts, prayers and heartfelt wishes to the Royal family. We wish the Queen nothing but a safe delivery"Caspian walked back and forth, his eyes darted towards the closed door every now and then. The whole of the chambers was dead quiet save for the constant screams and cries coming from behind the door and the loud thudding of his heart.His heart pounded against his chest so fast, he was sure it was going to explode any moment. He still couldn't believe what was happening— his wife, his queen, his mate was finally in labor.Caspian had waited for this day ever since that night and now that it was finally here, he didn't know why he felt this nervous. A fear nagged at his being, one that refused to go away no matter ho
Xylah sat in front of her dressing mirror, dressed in all white and a veil over her head, a single tear flowed down her cheeks. Today marks the third month after Caspian's day and today, everything was going to change for her. She was getting married, again. And to whom? Sire Onyx himself. Xylah recoiled at the mere thought of marrying Caspian's uncle but she was helpless, just like she was on the night she stabbed Caspian.The whole city had gone into mourning after his body had been found cold the next morning. The cause of death was said to be a stab in the heart with a silver knife. Silver was lethal to all werewolves— it took their lives like it meant nothing.Investigations had been carried out but Sire onyx ofcourse got the case closed. Days passed by and Caspian was soon forgotten, he was but a useless prince after all.Xylah shook away the thoughts and took a long sigh as she's escorted out of the room.' Today was going to be a long day' She thought, clutching the small kni
Xylah slowly made her way to the dinner room flanked by her attendees. It's been days since her meeting with Sire Onyx Xylah had tried really hard to forget all about it but having to see him everyday was a constant reminder on its own. The royal family had this tradition He had given her time and his eyes held the same amount of warning whenever it met hers.Today was no different, the moment Xylah had stepped into the dinning room, her eyes met his Onyx's first. A disapproving look crossed his face. Onyx had already given her the instructions on what to do and was expecting the results for days now. Xylah couldn't bring herself to just do it.She sat in her place at the table, opposite her husband and looked everywhere but at Onyx. She felt his eyes bore into her soul as the kitchen maids serve breakfast. Xylah made it a mental note to eat quickly, excuse herself and hurry out of here before Onyx was done. She didn't want him to trap her like he always did the rest for the day.Ch
You.." Jane growled the moment she reached Xylah."Oh, mothe—" Xylah barely had the chance to complete her words when a heavy slap.lamded on her cheeks, the sound resounded across the entire drawing room. Two amidst who stood there gasped at the same time Xylah did."Mother?" Xylah called out in shock, a hand to her cheek."I am not your mother!" Came Janes harsh growl "Don't u ever call me that you filthy bitch" she barked, the veins on her forehead Popping. Xylah has seen Jane angry so many times but this was the first time she was seeing her like this. She looked mad, almost possessed. She looked up at the maids who stared at them in shock."Leave us" She simply said and they nodded almost immediately before scurrying out of the room. Jane humped "You must be enjoying yourself are you not? You must be so happy after ruining my daughter's life!""But what did I do?" Cykah had no idea why so much anger was being directed at her. she hadn't done a thing."Everything!" Jane yelled and
"Come now, let's go" Ian said finally releasing her from the hug" We don't have much time left as it is"His hands held hers as he pulled her along and of course, Xylah's feet betrayed her, they trotted after him mindlessly as they headed for the door. It was only when she saw him open the door that her heart started to race.She can't do this, she can't go with Ian. His life was already on the line and if they leave like this, then—No, Xylah swallowed. She wanted nothing more than to run as far away from here as possible and start a new life with her mate, of course. But she knew she couldn't do that."I can't come with you!" She used all the strength she had left to scream those words, stopping Ian dead in his tracks. He turned to look at her, his eyes filled with questions."Xylah?" His voice broke as his grip on her loosened. Xylah used that opportunity to free herself."Yes Ian I'm sorry but I can't come with you""But why? Wh–""I don't owe you any explanation" her jaw tighten
Ian stopped on front of Xylah's door, his hands raised as he dropped a soft knock on the door"Xylah?" He called out, his voice even softer "Are you in there?" He asked. It was a stupid question ofcourse, as she most certainly was in there. She couldn't go anywhere else.Moments later, he heard the shuffling of feet and the door being unlocked before it was pulled open, the face of his mate coming into his view. The smile on Ian's face disappeared the moment he saw her."Xylah?" A small frown made it's way up his face. "What's wron—" she didn't let him complete his sentence as she crashed into his arms without warning.Whether or not Ian was taken aback, Xylah didn't know because she felt him wrapped his arms around her a moment later. The familiar sparks were sent running across her body again, it felt like she was electrocuted but not bad electrocuted, electrocuted in a good way. Xylah closed her eyes, it felt oddly comforting.How grateful she was he didn't say anything through ou
Xylah returned to her room devastated after her discussion with Aeon and Raphael. They had given her an ultimatum knowing fully well which one Xylah would pick. With a heavy heart, Xylah obviously ended up picking the latter— to save Ian's life.Xylah would endure anything, but she couldn't tolerate a single scratch on Ian. He was her friend and savior, he had given her a new life, chose to hold her hand when others didn't and above all, Ian was her mate.She couldn't let any injustice come to him when it was her fault after all. The reason they had both snuck out was for her to enjoy some fun time.As she collapsed on her bed , face first, she couldn't hold back all of the tears threatening to fall, all of them came down in a huge stream. Her bedcovers were stained in no time as Xylah cried. She cried and cried, her body racking with powerful sobs yet she didn't even try to stop them. She let herself cry her sorrows away.Xylah couldn't believe how unfortunate she was. Just yesterday
Xylah took a step back, the surprise and shock on her face was evident as she watched the grown up man drool and mumble some incoherent words which she couldn't understand at all. She watched him burst into laughter and pointed at her while an idiot which made her gasp.It looked like she was the only surprised one because the other two men in the room looked ok as if nothing had happened– as if all was just normal to them.Xylah now understood why everyone refered to him as the useless prince. Horror washed over her as she wondered what could've turned such a fine man into something as dreadful as this?He had beautiful ocean blue eyes, accentuated by thick black lashes, a long and perfect nose sat on his face.Xylah could swear she had never seen a finer man all her life. His features were enough to make one drool but he was drooling instead?She watched the prince pick up a piece of salad from one of the bowls on the table and bring it up to his face. He blew on it, then sniffed it
'You're getting married to the prince tomorrow'Those were the only words that kept repeating themselves over Xylah's head as she walked down the long hall leading to the dining room.The hallway she walked in was adorned with gold paintings and intricately carved sculptures and the whole floor was covered with a red carpet, which contrasted with the long dark pink gown she had chosen to wear.On a normal day Xylah would have been looking around, at the paintings and designs curiously and marveling at how beautiful they were but that day was not just today. Her mind was filled with so many thoughts, it was so jumbled up that she had a hard time time knowing what was what.Earlier, she had chosen a pretty decent pink gown and decided to wear it to her meeting with the prince. She allowed her hair to fall down in her natural waves and didn't see it necessary to do any makeup or anything of the sort as she was going to meet the prince.Xylah was just going there to finally see this "pri
