Koko's POVI came out of hiding and ran as fast as my weak legs could carry me. I didn't know where I was going, but anywhere was better than here. If I remained, they might track me down and capture me again.I was running out of breath, but I needed to keep moving. At least, if I kept running, I might find a village or something and look for help there.I halted when I saw that night had come. It was not usually safe outside by this time, because of rogue wolves. Me getting captured by them would be worse. They'd kill me immediately if they set their eyes on me.I used my eyes to scan the place and saw an oak tree. I sighed in relief and made my way there. As soon as I got to the tree, I hurried to the back and sat down there. The long grass should be able to hide me well till tomorrow morning. I touched my head and could feel that it was already hot. My fever was acting up again.I was also thirsty and hungry. I sighed and looked around. I was grateful to the moon goddess for helpi
Alpha Niyol's POVI woke up very early and freshened up. I was ready to visit the station and if those hoodlums hadn't said anything, then I was ready to extract the truth out of them myself. I rushed through my wardrobe and picked something casual."Isn't that too casual for a day like this?" Chester asked as he entered the room."I am okay with it. I don't really want to wear royal clothes today. There are people I need to deal with." I answered and he chuckled."If you're okay with it then I have no problem. Anyways, the car is ready. We are waiting for you.""We?" I asked since I was expecting no one else."Yes. Laci and Julianna." Chester answered."They really got ready fast." I said as I put on my shoes."Laci couldn't wait to go there so she made Julianna to hasten up as well." Chester said and I nodded."Let's go," I motioned to the door after putting on my shoes and we left. We got to the door and I entered the driver's seat. "I'll be the one to drive today, Chester. Just co
Third Person's POVKoko knew why the girl wanted her dead, but she didn't know a maid would stoop this low just to get rid of her.If she had asked for forgiveness, Koko would have at least considered and let her live her life, but it seemed the girl doesn't deserve to live.All the servant could think of was the end Koko's life. As she lunged at Koko the final time, she was pushed back by a force and saw that Koko was shifting to her wolf form."No! It can't be!" She exclaimed.Koko could feel herself disappearing into her mind as her wolf came to the surface. The fiendish creature snarled at the girl who was already trembling."Do you think I'll let you kill me without a fight?" The girl yelled at the wolf but it only growled at her.Koko's wolf advanced towards her and aimed for her neck but she was able to dodge."Even before I became a palace servant, I have undergone training in combat. I will kill you and end your miserable life today." She snapped.The wolf only got angrier at
Alpha Niyol's POVThis time, I wasn't going to lose her. We rushed out of the station and I took the wheels."Are you certain that she shifted?" Julianna asked."Yes, I am certain. I am so happy my Koko isn't dead." I said and drove faster.I finally got her location. I can't wait to see her again. I have missed her so much. Hang in there, Koko. I am coming to take you with me. I scrunched up my face a little and Chester seemed to notice it."What happened?" Chester asked."Did she shift back?" Laci asked."Yes, but I got her location before she did so." I said and drove faster. I have to get there before she moves again. I can't afford to lose her this time."Thank goodness you got the location." Laci sighed in relief.I kept driving till we got to what seemed like a village. I got down from the car and sniffed the air. 'Wolves lives here.'"Where do we go from here?" Laci asked."Follow me." I said and started following a narrow bush path.We got to a place and I stopped. Her scent
Chester's POVI have never seen Niyol this angry and pissed off before. Honestly, I won't blame him though. For someone who had gone through a lot in his life, he was quite strong and was handling everything the way he deemed best. Those people really didn't deserve mercy. They should suffer as much as he did."Where are we off to next?" I asked him."Scarlett's." He answered and I nodded.Should I feel sad or happy? I should be happy that he is going to deal with her after all. Besides, she made me understand that she wants nothing to do with me. And from the day I discovered she had a hand in Koko's kidnap, I couldn't help but hate her for that. She showed me the monstrous side of her and I lost all interest immediately. She even tried to kill Julianna. What guts!I turned to look at Julianna who had her hands on Laci's shoulder. I grinned and looked away."I'm sure we will meet her father at home." Laci smirked and I could see she was enjoying this.I couldn't really blame her. Whe
Alpha Niyol's POVI went back to my packhouse so that I could strategize on how to find my mate. But before that one thing I had to secure was that both Scarlett and Henry were thrown behind the coldest, darkest and dirtiest dungeons in my Palace fed with only enough food to keep them alive.The trail of KoKo had gone completely cold, but I knew that she had to be within that vicinity that we saw her blood and I felt her shift, so I sent my men there spreading the word that whoever could bring her back safely would be given a grand reward.With my mate's peculiar color of eye, I strongly believed it would be hard to confuse her with someone else.Or at least that was what I had thought before I saw the circus parade that came right after my announcement, one after the other people brought women wearing contact lenses or doing things that I would rather not even inquire into to make their eyes look exactly like that of my mate's.“Do these people know that I am the Alpha king or have th
Eve's pov"I still don't know why you had to poke your nose into this girl's business, you don't even know her...."I looked at my neighbour with an exhausted expression, if it wasn't for the fact that I needed her help right now I would not be tolerating her sassy tongue, ironically she was telling me that I was butting into something that did not concern me when that was practically her hobby."She looks like someone who has suffered a lot in life... And I am not losing anything by helping her..."I explained patiently as I rubbed the cup of tea in my hand."I wish more people would be nice like you. Honestly that way I would have more customers because they will be picking practically every person they see on the street to bring to me..."My neighbour Margaret was a powerful herbal healer. She was also rude and quite blunt, but then again she was good at what she did and that was what really mattered right now.“You should know that I charge more than a hospital healer, right Eve?"
Eve's POV“.... No no no no you can't just give up on her like this please there must be something else you can do..."I said to Margaret desperately."Please do anything you can at all, that will save her. I'm begging you...."Margaret looked at me, sweat dripping from her grey hair down to her face, which she wiped with the back of her arm.“I can see clearly why the hospital gave up on her. The thing is that I am doing everything to fight for her, but I don't think she herself wants to fight anymore..."She looked at me and I was surprised for the second time to see empathy in my neighbours eyes. And I could clearly remember the last time that I had seen it, it was not something I could ever forget.She was the one that I had brought my husband to when he was sick, but the thing was that what my husband had was no ordinary sickness, no it was something far worse than that, something that steadily drained him of his life everyday as I watched him slip away from reality.At a young a
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
