Chester's POVI watched as Juliana remained calm all through. She didn't say much except when Niyol asked her something. But I noticed she was looking at Scarlett from time to time. It wasn't too obvious, but I noticed it. I had known her long enough to know when Juliana was brewing some trouble. She was certainly looking for trouble. I just hoped she doesn't cause too much trouble."Thanks Scarlett. I think I am much better. I don't want to drain you with my problems. Yesterday had taken lots of my time and energy. I think I am still going to spend more time till I find my mate." Niyol said, forcing a smile."I will always be here to help, Niyol. Just let me know how I am going to be of help and I will gladly do it. You don't have to suffer alone. Even if Koko is not…""She will be found… alive. She made me a promise and I trust her. She will never break that promise." Niyol cuts her off, his aura changing for a second."Sorry, Niyole. I… I didn't mean it that way. I am just concer
Niyol's POVI watched as the girl Chester brought asked questions about Scarlett. Juliana Roberts. I wonder why she had taken up the case. Could it be because of Chester? And what was the issue about Scarlett?Was she suspicious of Scarlett? To be honest, I was also suspicious of her at first until she stood up to my mother.I trusted that she wouldn't have anything to do with Koko's disappearance, afterall, she was against my mother's idea. She even rejected my mother's proposal to her.Then I saw her turn to me and said," Your majesty, can I take a look at Koko's room? We can all go together. It's likely that we might find a clue or two from there."I nodded and led the way, but my beta whispered to me to just stay behind if I wasn't up to the task. It was not that I wasn't up to the task. It's just that I was gradually becoming weaker.It must be something related to Koko. It was strange because I haven't marked her yet. I wasn't supposed to feel like this. So, I wonder why I was
Juliana's POVAfter the alpha and Chester left, we started searching around the room. It seemed no one had entered the room since she left because even the breakfast was still on the table and it was stinking like hell.I guess that was why those men ran off. I went to the bathroom and combed every nook and cranny, yet I couldn't pick something out. It was free from any clue whatsoever."Did you find anything, Juliana?" Laci asked.I came out of the bathroom shaking my head." Couldn't find any. I guess there isn't much to see here.""That's not good. I hoped to find something here. I am really going to go crazy before my brother does." Laci said, holding her head."It seems you like her very much even though it's not been up to two months of knowing Koko," I asked.She smiled at the mention of Koko, "You will if you know her too. She is one sweet girl that had to endure a lot because she was different. I felt pity for her when she narrated everything about her life in her previous pa
Henry's POVI went to the bar area of the pub and ordered a strong drink with my Delta, sitting across the table. I slowly drank my wine as my thoughts were scattered all over the place. If Niyol was able to find Koko, then I would have to save not only my neck, but also my father's pack too. But if it was otherwise, then I should be ready to enjoy the benefits that came with Scarlett being a Luna. It was not like I was madly in love with her or something. She was just a pawn I was using to gain power, so I could secure my father's throne.My brothers were all eyeing the throne and I needed to have a powerful connection. It would be better if Scarlett could succeed.I looked around the pub and suddenly felt lonely. I so much wished I had a mate of my own. I was already feeling bored with all these prostitutes whenever I couldn't get through to Scarlett.She had been avoiding me for sometime, except for the last time we made love. I didn't love her, but I loved our lovemaking session
Henry's POVI was in deep thought at what Mike just said. Why would the Alpha be looking for me?"Scarlett, do you have any idea why he would be looking for me?" I asked."I don't think it's something you have to be worried about. Maybe he just wants to ask you about that cursed girl. You know apart from Laci, you are that bitch's only friend. I guess it must be something related to that." she replied.But why does my heart feel panicky? It seems as if I was going to face something terrible. I shook off the bad thoughts from my head.I quickly put on my shirt and pants so I could go to the palace. I didn't know what was happening that made the Alpha want to see me.I hoped it wasn't something that would cause me trouble."I am going with you, Henry," Scarlett told me."You know you shouldn't. What if they become suspicious?" I refused."They wouldn't if we didn't arrive at the same time." she replied, adamantly."Alright. But you have to come later." I told her.I bent towards her and
Henry's POVI drove directly to the warehouse where we had hidden Koko. I needed to do something to quench my fury. If I wasn't quick witted, I would have been caught by NiyolThe foolish bitch didn't even burn the letter like I told her! I ordered the men to bring her to a special cell in the warehouse.When I got to the warehouse, I walked up to where she was tied and I saw her. She was battered all over her body, yet her eyes were determined.I didn't show myself to her, but I signalled one of the thugs and instructed him on what to do. He nodded and walked off.Few minutes later, I watched as the men dragged the screaming Koko out of the first warehouse. She was hitting and scratching them, but the men did not bulge as they continued dragging her."Henry! You are a bastard! You are a useless scum! I thought you were my friend! You deceived me! How could you be so wicked! Screw you and your that fucking Scarlett! You will die a horrible death… I will never let her have Niyol!" Koko
Julianna POVWe waited patiently for this Henry guy to come, and I kind of used that time to glance through the letter once more. Judging from what I was seeing, it looked like it was written by someone very close to her. I could see a nickname below it. There might be a possibility that this 'Henry' was involved in Miss Koko's kidnap case.After a few minutes, the door to the throne room opened and he entered. So, he was the Henry everyone had been talking about? As he approached the Alpha, I could sense fear and anxiety from him. He also looked like someone who had returned from a pub. Obviously, he just got down with a bitch. My instincts had never failed me.He greeted and bowed to the Alpha. Alpha Niyol made it clear to him that we wanted to confirm something from him urgently. Alpha Niyol nodded at Chester who brought the letter to Henry. I stood like a judge who was ready to give a final verdict, so as to see his reaction, but the dude maintained his emotionless face."What is
Alpha Niyol's POVThings were becoming more complicated to the extent that I was having trouble with knowing who and who not to trust. Julianna Roberts seemed so sure that Henry had a hand in Koko's kidnap, but I didn't want to jump into conclusions since Henry had been Koko's companion when I was away, considering that she wasn't the outgoing type. Aside that, he had saved her once too and shouldn't have any reason to kidnap her. If he wanted to hurt her, shouldn't he had done it long ago? Why now?All these thoughts juggled in my head as we all waited for Henry's arrival. After greeting and bowing, I told him what we needed him for. He collected the letter and went through it then gave it back to Chester.He refused saying that he had no hand in it, leading to an argument between himself and Julianna. I couldn't say anything or stop them as they babbled on and on. Henry looked convincing that he didn't do it, but Julianna was not ready to let him off the hook yet. She kept throwi
Koko's POVAs I was walking down the hallway, I let out a broad smile when I saw my saving Grace's grandson coming towards us."Greetings my alpha, greetings my Luna." He smiled."I can perceive that you're happy today my Luna." He said."Who won't be happy to see their child celebrating another year in the land of the living?"I never thought this day would come, I never thought in my wildest imagination that I would have a mate, how much more a child that will celebrate five years. It was worth everything we'd do today to celebrate her."Congratulations Luna..""Thank you, what about your grandma.. have you been able to convince her yet?"After saving my mate and I the anxiety that came with the evil prophecy the wicked old woman came with, we had offered my three times saviour a place to stay in the palace on several occasions, but she kept turning them down.I even went as far as explaining to her that I didn't forget her after I got to the palace, it was just that unfortunate thi
Koko's POV"And they all lived happily ever after.." I kissed my little baby to sleep after telling her a wonderful bedtime story, her eyes were closed with a smile. I walked over to her father who was standing at the door."Isn't it crazy to imagine that one day she will be too big for bedtime stories?"He was always worried for Aurora's future, and so was I. On the day Aurora was born, there was this pit in my stomach, and I was overjoyed that I had finally seen my beautiful baby. But there was still something that trouble me and pulled at my heart, making me unable to be truly happy. Initially I thought it was because I was worried about the gender preference that existed in the Palace. But even after the heart warming conversation between my mate and I at the hospital, I was still very troubled, even though the weight had been lightened on my neck.The day my fear was confirmed was the day the party was held for Aurora to present her to the world as the princess and next alpha
Niyol's povWhen I saw my mate in labour, it was as if the world beneath my feet was shattering; and there was nothing I could do but to hold her hand firmly.Even when she screamed, when she came over and began to drag my shirt and slapped my shoulders. I knew she was not able to think straight in that condition and of course that was not something I needed to be told. so I held onto her and I whispered reassuring words in her ears.I assured her that I was there for her as I had always been and I always would.That I wasn't going anywhere, after all we had made a promise to be with each other in the good times and the bad and this was definitely one of those times and that promised came to play.Soon the screaming was over and the only sound that was head was the beautiful cry of my pup as it came into the world.After she had been washed and wrapped in a clean white cloth, I asked if it was ok for me to hold her, and a midwife said of course it was. I felt my hands trembling a litt
Koko's POV As the time came for my baby to arrive to the world, my heart was pounding more and more each and every day with excitement and anticipation, me and my mate had already picked out the cutest baby names and we had already prepared the room for the baby be it a boy or girl, it would not be wasted because we were planning to have more than one child anyways. So many people had already started bringing gifts for the pup, things that could be used for either gender. I was so excited for the day that I would finally meet my pup. It was obvious that my excitement was not mine alone, because the entire Kingdom shared it with me and I was being pampered so much that at one point, it seemed like the only thing that was left for my mate to do was to also chew my food and give it to me the way birds did for their young ones. The gifts became so much that some point, we had to create a room for them, so that they would not be crowding up the place too much. I noticed the contents in th
Koko's POV "Ready or not, here I come…" I remember once when my sister and I were playing hide and seek. It was one of my few good childhood memories, that woman wasn't around that day. I had crept deeper among the clothes in the wardrobe so that she would have a harder time finding me and it worked.. but it worked a little too well. I was entangled in the clothes like a fly that had been found in a spider's web then I began to cry and cry when suddenly the wardrobe was opened and I heard my Dad's voice. Hanola, I don't think your sister is here either…" I tried to call out for help, but my voice was only choked by my sobs and the clothes that were surrounding me. But somehow she knew, maybe that was the bond that we had as twins… a bond that was scarred after we lost our father, and that woman used lies to tear us apart. She dived into the wardrobe and pulled me out, but she got stuck along the way and Dad helped us out. I was still crying when I came out, then she held the hem of he
Niyol's povAs I was standing outside my mate's wardroom, my heart was in my throat, but that was until the doctor came from behind with her results and his face did not have a worried expression.When I opened the door, I saw my mate sitting up and her eyes met mine. I rushed off to her, and hugged her gently, even though I wanted nothing more than to crush her body against mine."Koko!" I called her as if we were a million miles apart and that was how I felt when I found out that her mother was planning to take her to that basterd.Her mother.. I thought for a moment, her body was now in a morgue. How would she react when she find out that her mother was dead?This thought continued to run through my mind as the doctor said her survival was a miracle and the baby was unharmed too."...you are quite fortunate Queen Luna, the two other people in the car with you are both…""I don't want to know.." She interrupted the doctor."Whatever became of them, I don't ever want to know especial
Niyol's POV"So is Koko's mother really leaving?"My beta and I were in my office looking through some budget plans for the palace, when he asked that question and I responded positive to it and immediately both of us sighed with relief."Finally! I thought she would never leave..""Chester, she is still my mother-in-law, don't forget that.""She might be your mother-in-law, but no offense to you, that woman has no sort of class. I'm quite surprised that she was able to raise someone like Koko, but that explains why they are not close…"I did not want to admit it to my mate, but I was more fed up of her mother than she even was, although that did not change the fact that she was still her mother and there was no way I could throw her out, even though it seemed like she was becoming more and more unbearable everyday.Whenever she came to a dining table, I was sure everything would be messed up. She would eat and drink as if that was her last day on earth, and just yesterday alone, the
Gad's POVThat old hag! My fingers were tightened up on the steering wheel.She was actually thinking she could pull a fast one on me, but fortunately for me and more for her, I was able to finally get my threats through to her, then she finally sent me a letter that made sense.I looked out the windscreen again, for the hundredth times in 5 minutes.As I was looking outside, she suddenly mind-linked me and told me to look up, when I did, I saw her raising up her blinds and my mate was standing next to her, and of course she was looking as beautiful as she always did.That old hag had also added in her letter that my mate was forced to carry the bastard of that idiot that stole her from me.Well the moment she came back home, I would have that rotten thing flushed out of her system so she would carry my pup as she should have in the first place."What are you waiting for? Come here with her right now.." I ordered the old hag, my hands were now so tight on the steering wheel that they
Koko's POV."My sister?"I got to the dining room this morning and I could feel how tensed the air was as I was walking in, I saw both my mate and his sister, they seemed to be having a very heated conversation, but that was not until I walked in.They both looked at me; my mate kept his eyes on me longer until I sat on my seat."I'm sorry, but is there something on my face?" I had to ask him after a while, because the staring was becoming a little too discomforting to me."Koko…"He called me, as he placed the fork and knife that he was using to battle with a juicy steak earlier on a serviette lying on the glass dinning table."Your mother told me about how your discussion went yesterday,""Oh! she did?" I asked, cocking up an eyebrow."I'm sure she did…" I replied my own question, knowing how twisted that woman could be."I can't compel you to forgive her, but I wish you can see how hard she is trying to just show you that she is sorry for everything.."It took every single fiber of
