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
Scarlett's POVAfter our hot make out session, all I wanted to do was rest in Henry's arms. I told him about how I acted like Niyol's maid today and how Chester brought in a new girl. That piqued Henry's interest as we talked about that lady called Julianna who doesn't look like she was going to mind her business. She came acting all high and mighty and tried to her poke nose into my affairs. Hmph! I would think of what to do with her later. Let me keep watching her.Just as we were discussing, there was a knock on the door and Henry's gamma told him he was needed by Niyol and that he also collected some of his handwritten documents.I realized immediately that something had gone wrong.. and that something had to do with the letter that Henry sent to that cursed girl.After assuring me that everything was going to be fine, Henry left, leaving me in fear and uncertainty.I couldn't fathom why I panicked immediately I heard the message. I just hoped that everything was fine over there
Henry's POVAfter battling with my thoughts for a while, I concluded that there was nothing to lose. After all, Scarlett's father was an influential man and I could always get what I want. There was nothing to think twice about. My father was just being paranoid.Besides, there was no going back now. I had come too far to quit. I went to where I and Scarlett usually meet since that was the location she gave me, I got there before her. As I waited for her arrival, I had different thoughts. Some were thoughts of relief as to what might have happened if I hadn't played smart today. Something needed to be done about Julianna Roberts because I was sure this was not the last time such a thing would happen between the two of us.Scarlet finally arrived and started hitting me with questions that annoyed me a bit. Here I was thinking about how to clear my head and there she was pressuring me with questions and giving me a headache."If you keep on asking like this, how do you expect me to an
Chester's POVI stood as I watched Niyol scrunched up his face in excruciating pain. I ran to him and held him. His body was already shaking as a result of the pains and I couldn't bear it. I could feel anger surge through me because there was nothing I could do to stop the pain. How I wish there was a way I could take the pain in his stead. I couldn't imagine the pains Koko was going through now.For goodness sake, these two people had suffered a lot already! Why couldn't they be happy? They deserved to be happy."They will all pay for this! Those bastards won't go unpunished! When I lay my hands on them, I'll make sure to tear them limb by limb!" Niyol's yell snapped me out of my reverie. "Hang in there, Koko. It won't be long now," He said with a hopeful glint in his eyes which made me almost tear up. I shouldn't have left him. If I was around, things might have taken a different turn. I wanted so much to deal with those hoodlums and I would make sure I do just that."We won't sp
Koko's POVI wriggled in the cage because I was uncomfortable. On top of that, I was aching all over my body, which made it harder for me. They had obviously turned me into a dog. 'I swear the moment I get out of here, I would make Niyol wipe them all out.' I coughed and I could swear I got the taste of blood in my mouth.I looked at the man who stood to guard me. "Please, can I get water?" I asked. My plan was not to drink the water. It seemed my fever was acting up again and I needed to wash my face with water... cold water if I could find any.They looked at him in disgust and one said, "We can't give you water, Missy. Boss's orders."I almost scoffed at the word "Boss", Scarlett had really pissed me off. Telling me to give up the man that gave me hope. I didn't plead further to avoid getting them angry. I wasn't ready for a third round of beating and torture today. I was already weak.I glanced at my stomach and rubbed it with my palm. If I was really pregnant, then I had to stay
Julianna's POVAs I left Chester behind, I couldn't help but smile to myself. Why was he being jealous all of a sudden? If he wasn't then why did he suddenly develop interest in my personal life? I sighed as I waved the thoughts away. I was about to go down the stairs when I saw him hurry past me. Is he angry or did his feelings get hurt?"Hey, where are you going?" I asked him, but he didn't answer. Whatever!I rolled my eyes and got down from the stairs. I was about to walk out, when I saw Laci coming in. She was in such a hurry that she didn't notice me."Laci?" I called and she turned to look at me. Her once serious face lit up with a grin."Julianna, how are you doing?" She asked."I'm fine. You?" I asked as I scrutinised her face. She looked stressed out and tired. I was sure that the Alpha sent her home to rest, but she found her way back here."I'm good." She answered."You don't look good. Come on, stop worrying too much. Everything will be back to normal before you know i
Scarlett's POVLast night was cold and I couldn't get a good sleep. My thoughts were all jumbled up as I thought of many things. First, it was Koko's kidnap, second was the arrival of Julianna and now, we needed a plan to clear things up. I didn't know why this Koko's case became different. Like, she wasn't the first person to get kidnapped. Why was hers difficult?I sighed and stepped down from the bed. I had to visit the palace today and act as the Alpha's maid again. Gosh! I couldn't wait for all these to be over. I had my bath and rubbed a bit of lotion on my perfect and flawless skin. I flipped through my wardrobe and settled for a white off shoulder gown. It wasn't too long or too short. It was moderate. If I wanted to please the Alpha, I should probably put on something that described a princess. I packed my hair in a messy bun and applied pink lipstick. I checked myself out in the mirror. "You can't resist me for long, Alpha Niyol. Sooner or later, you will become mine and
Scarlett's POV"Scarlett, are you alright?" Laci ran to me."I'm fine, it's no big deal." I said."Sorry about that." Niyol said.I forced a smile and nodded my head."Come on, I'll go help you clean up." Laci offered."No problem, I'll do it myself." I stood up and started walking out. At least it would give me some minutes away from her. I met Chester at the door and he looked at me."What happened to your dress?" He asked."It's nothing." I answered and left.I went to the bathroom and wiped myself clean. I stared at the mirror to pull my thoughts together. If I make any mistake here then our cover would be blown. I had to tolerate this girl as much as possible today. "I can do this!" I exhaled and stepped out of the bathroom.I wasn't surprised when I saw her outside, waiting for me. I pretended not to see her and made my way to the room."It looks like you're avoiding me." She said.I halted and turned. I chuckled and went to stand in front of her. "Why would I avoid you?" I ask
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
