Chapter70Tessa's Pov.I couldn't believe my mom was able to convince the Alpha to arrange a wedding ceremony for me and his son and I was so angry about it. She really could go to any length just to make sure I ended up with Jace."Don't cry ma'am, you'll ruin the make up." The makeup artists and some of my friends in the room that my mom had invited."Tessa, cheer up." Brenda spoke with a smile, "You're getting married to your crush, that's a dream come true." She spoke in a dreamt voice and everyone in the room burst into laughter but not me.I was so sad that I couldn't recover from the sadness. This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life but how could I be happy when I was being forced to marry a mate who rejected me."Girl, today is gonna be full of merry, we're gonna dance and probably meet our prince charming." Chloe joked and there was a roar of laughter again."What's wrong?" Chloe asked when she saw me sad."Nothing." I replied to save myself the shame. How do I t
Chapter71Jace's povI paced around my room angrily and Liam was the only one who was with me at that time. He was the one my father had introduced to me saying he would be the beta of my time because his father was my father's present Beta."You have to calm down Jace, today is your wedding day." "Shut the fuck up before I pluck your eyes out!" I shot him a death glare before I continued pacing around."But she's your mate, don't you love her?" He asked and I paused to take him in a deep breath.Liam was not a friend but for the past few days, he had become close to me during the preparation of the marriage ceremony."I asked you to shut up, didn't I?" I yelled, my veins showing in my neck."I'm worried about you, Jace, I know we aren't friends but I care about you." "Lies,you just want to be the beta!" "That's enough son." Father's voice interrupted as he walked into the room.He moved to Liam and rested his hands on his shoulders."Can you leave us?" Father asked Liam who nodded
Chapter72Zain's pov.I had surrounded myself with work so I could be busy to not think about her anymore. She was my mate yet, I hardly see her.I didn't attend family dinner and I stopped asking or caring about that. The fact that I hurt her and I had no one to talk too about me made me a monster. I started getting angry unnecessarily and spent most of my days in the office."Son?" My dad pushed open the office door and walked into the office. He seemed concerned about his tone."Are you alright?" He asked and I nodded, not wanting to share what I was feeling with anyone. "You don't seem fine." His words came to me and I frowned. He was right, I wasn't fine but I wasn't going to admit it to him."What's going on between you and your mate?" He took a seat on the chair opposite me and relaxed his back on the chair rest, staring at me with observing gazes."Nothing dad, I just want to focus on work, that's all." I lied, picking up the documents that were on the table as my eyes scanne
Chapter73Tessa's Pov.I was escorted to my room where I was given a clean bath and dressed in the most alluring night dresses I had ever possessed."You look pretty." The girl who escorted me spoke with her head lowered."Do I go to him?" I gulped down the fear I felt inside of me hoping for her reply."No, he'll come to you." She assured me with a smile and I tried my best to calm down.Because of how lost in thought I was, I didn't notice how beautiful my room was.It was decorated with rose petals and scented candles. The bed was neatly arranged and the only source of lighting in the room were the candles."I have to go now ma'am." The girl was about to leave when I grabbed her hand."Don't leave." I pleaded with her because I was scared."I have to ma'am, he can't meet me here." Her voice showed how scared she was."Please." I pleaded even more. I was scared of how Jace would react."I'm sorry, it's not up to me." She pulled away from my grasp and hurriedly ran to the door. Witho
Chapter74Taylor's pov.I walked into the room and I could barely recognise my daughter. Fingerprints were imprinted all over her fine skin."I'm not here to laugh at you my dear, I care about you so much." I tried to touch her but she kept moving away."You care about me and you let me be with a monster?" She turned her head to me and I watched my daughter speak with pain all over her."I'll fix this, I promise." I was about to move when she grabbed my hand."No more fixing. Anytime you try to fix something, someone always gets hurt." My daughter's words hurt me more than I can imagine."Baby, it's not so." "Go away!" She dropped my hand angrily."Tessa." "Don't call my name. I told you if I get married to Jace, I'm no longer going to see you as my mother and you took it as a joke.""Forgive me." I knelt down not minding the maid in the room. I could afford to lose anything but not my daughter's love."Baby please, listen to me and help me. I love you so much and I don't want anyth
Chapter75Zain's Pov.A week had passed and the day for my coronation had finally arrived. The pack house was beautifully decorated with flowers and nice clothes were used to decorate the tables.I was nervous, waiting to see my Luna, my dad and Cain who was supposed to be here earlier."Hey man." He parted my shoulders and when I arced my neck back to his direction."I'm so sorry I haven't been around lately." He apologised and embraced me in a hug."It's alright." I embraced him back. The truth was that I was mad at him before but now that he was with me, all my anger towards me vanished.Cain was like a brother, a friend and a great advisor. He always supported me but I didn't support him when he needed me the most."Can you forgive me too?" I asked when we broke out of the hug."Of course, although, there's no reason to ask for that." He had a confident smile on his face."For bouncing your calls and not checking up on you or your maye, I'm a terrible friend." I explained and he l
Chapter76Logan's pov I had just returned to the pack when I found out that Zain had already been crowned Alpha. I wasn't worried because I knew my plan was about to commence soon. Infact, it was the exact opposite.I had some trick to overthrow his reign and soon, his father would be out of the way. I had sent a message to crystalbel so could meet me at my place where I could ask her some questions about the progress of the plan.I paced around my room with a glass of red wine in my hands and a smirk plastered on my face. It just took patience and a matter of time and I would have everyone under my feet, begging at my mercy. Just then, I heard a knock on my door, pulling me back to the reality that all these things were yet to happen.I strolled to the door, dropping the wine at the counter before opening the door."Hey Logan." It was crystalbel. She dressed up like a doll and boy did she catch my attention."Oh crystal, come in, I have been waiting." "I thought so. You weren't at
Chapter77Zain's PovI had called the doctor last night to have her examine my Luna today. I was worried about her and even when I couldn't face her, I just wanted her to be okay.She had gone through enough pain already and I didn't want sickness to add more burdens to her.I didn't want the people to say I didn't take care of my Luna or think our relationship was a fake one. I paced back and forth and my eyes darted around because I wanted to see what was wrong with my Luna.The doctor arrived a few minutes ago and Jenna had led her to Xena's room. The pressure was so much on me and I felt my chest tightened as I waited on the doctor's verdict. "Alpha?" She knocked on the door as she opened, cashing me to stop abruptly in my tracks.My heart pounded loudly in my chest when I heard the doctor's voice calling to me."Doc, come in." I was so nervous but tried my best to stay calm. An alpha isn't supposed to show fear."She's actually fine." The doctor spoke with a smile, causing me t
