Alpha Niyol's POVAfter we arrived at the hospital, hope had been brimming in my heart, hope that was soon about smashed to the ground after I learned that my mate was no longer in the hospital and the only information that they had about the person that brought her was that her name was Eve.“How far should I send out the warriors to look for any woman named Eve? I had confirmed with the Doctor that she was definitely a member of this pack."My Beta had suggested to me, but I quickly waved off the idea, if I were to do that, rumors might spread and the Eve woman might go into hiding.I had no idea if she was just a kind stranger who had claimed to be my mate's guardian to help her or someone who was just trying to take advantage of her condition.No wonder I had been feeling severe pain since I came to this pack, if I had been a regular wolf, I would have fallen to my knees because of the pain that was rushing through me gripping every fiber of my being and crushing every bone inside
Koko's POVI looked up at the roof, sitting on the bed in the room that Eve gave me, I had been struggling to sleep for the past two hours and yet nothing worked. I even tried counting ceiling and yet my eyes were still wide awake.For some reasons I couldn't fathom, after I woke up inside that water, I had not been able to talk to my wolf.But as I curled up the bed sheets in my fingers, something told me that it was not just her ignoring me like she normally did. She had appeared in my unconscious state to help me, maybe she was just recovering as well, or something.I was also feeling incredibly drained and I could not wait for the morning to come so that I would start looking for my mate.But yet I was unable to get a wink of sleep and time kept crawling slowly. I looked at the clock in the room and saw that it was already 3:30am. If I wanted to get enough energy to find Niyol today, then I needed some shut eyes. I threw the duvet over my body and crushed my eyelids shut hoping fo
Koko's povMy heart froze up as the rogue pressed the knife closer to my back again.“If you know what is good for you, you'll do what I say... So don't make me keep repeating myself, call her so she'll come over here..."At this point, it was as if my legs were softer than jelly. I called on my wolf again. If there was any time for her to arrive, it was now, but yet nothing and my fingers twitched in frustration. Why was she not coming out?My heart was pounding so much just like a beating drum and the rogue was becoming more and more impatient."Are you going to call her or do you want me to skewer you?"After everything the poor, old woman had done for me, it would be far too cruel for me to call her out to danger.“Now please think about it, if I call her out she might scream and that will attract attention, you might be a little close to the border, but you are still in pack territory... If they catch you it won't be too good...”I gulped up my spit.“Nobody will bother with me t
Alpha Niyol's POVThe sedative quickly wore off on my body, but I didn't know if I was feeling much better and was not weak like before. But I felt relieved greatly because the way I was feeling meant that my mate was also feeling much better.The only disappointment that I had was that it was already late at night and if she was fine, that probably meant she was already fast asleep, and finding her was not going to be easy and feasible in the dark; the moon was barely even out at all.It felt like a million years since I last saw my mate, and I was so eager to see her again, the excitement that coursed through my body did not allow me sleep as I just turned on the hospital bed every now and then.Finally I gave up and just sat down, a note was left for me alongside a basket full of fruits in my ward, it was from my beta. He said he had not yet found Koko, but the trail was definitely getting hotter and sure I should rest easy.But then suddenly I was struck with such anxiety that it
Niyol's POVWhen I imagined reuniting with my mate, I had pictured a passionate and wonderful scenerio, as I would finally be able to inhale her scent and feel her soft body against mine again, instead we were rushing into a hospital evoking panic wherever we turned, because we were soaked in blood.We had earlier asked the people in the neighborhood to give us some clothes, but there was no time to wash off the blood, so we wrapped the old woman in a big blanket, as getting her fully dressed with all her injuries was risky.After battling through all that, we finally got her friend admitted; and she was rushed over to the intensive care unit. Then I looked over to my mate without saying a single word. I pulled her to my chest and hugged her tightly, but she winced and pulled away from my grip immediately.My racing heart that had been calming down, began to race so much again that I thought I was skipping some heart beats.“Are you injured on your back?"I asked her, and she slowly n
Koko's POV“No, I can't bring myself to take these much from you...”“But I insist you have to. I can't possibly leave here without doing something for you and this is nothing really compared to what you have done for me.”“Your majesty, I did everything out of the kindness of my own heart, not hoping for any reward... You really don't have to do this..."My heart bubbled up with joy as I looked at my mate, he had insisted that he would wait till Eve was fully recovered and discharged from the hospital before he would go back home.He wanted to personally thank her for all that she did for me, he even shed tears when I narrated everything that the poor woman had gone through for me.It still surprised me that some people could be so kind to mere strangers, when my own mother had never been the tiniest bit nice to me.She had practically risked her life when she told me to run and she went ahead to fight the rogue, not considering how she was putting herself in danger. I personally cou
Niyol's POVI couldn't believe that sister of mine, Laci can't possibly be my sister, so she really separated me from my mate? After being apart for almost two month, now that we finally had a chance to be together, she had to drag Koko to her car, doesn't she even pity me at all?Whatever, by the time we get back to the palace, I will be able to spend all the time in the world together with her. And I'll finally be able to treat her like the queen that she is.She had already gone through so much in her life, that was the least I could do for her as her mate.Just then I looked ahead and I noticed that the car ahead of me, which was carrying my mate and my sister, was gradually slowing down.Even though I could not spot any reason on the road that would cause that. But then the car stopped abruptly, and then the engine died out. I came out of my car, curious about what had happened.“What is going on? Why did the car stop?"I asked the chauffeur as he came out scratching his head, he
Koko's POV“My love, wake up..."I opened my eyes when I heard my mate speaking to me. And then, immediately, my ears were blasted with the sounds of tambourines, then other musical instruments melted in, and I jolted up on my seat surprised and confused at what was happening. So, I looked to my mate for answers."What's happening, are we under attack or something?"He laughed, and stroked my hair fondly, before saying, "This is actually your welcome parade that had been arranged when we found you." I was so touched that he had gone this far for me, and honestly, I was also a bit embarrassed too.I would have not minded just quietly returning to the palace, without any big fuss, but it was nice. Knowing that so many people had been hoping that I would come back and were actually so happy that I had returned to my home... my real home.Everywhere I turned to, there was adornment, decoration, loud lovely music and the sweet smell of different delicacies that had been prepared, so many pe
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
