Koko's POV“I never knew that you were such a scary bitch, Scarlett, so you would go that far?" I said, looking irritated."Go to hell bitch." She spatThe judging council had been disbanded, so both Henry and Scarlett had been released from their cells and given good clothes and food. Also, a huge amount of money had been arranged for both of them.Of course, we had guards at their sides in case they tried anything else.We were in the throne room and Niyol had told his gamma to remain with his mate until they brought the baby back because he doubted that he would be able to resist the urge to break Scarlett and Henry like broomsticks. However Chester was here as well.I did not respond to Scarlett's provocations at me, she was nothing but a mad woman that was being held by her grave wickedness, lack of empathy and satisfaction.Henry was not talking at all. I couldn't believe that somewhere in the corner of my heart, I had considered letting them live, but then any consideration for
Niyol's POVAs I held the baby in my arms, it only took one look his eyes to know that he was my nephew, Liam.The poor thing seemed to recognise me, as he reached out with his little fingers, and I felt my blood boil so hot through my veins that these worthless rats had actually made my nephew go through so much.If it wasn't for my mate's voice that was in my head, constantly telling me to keep calm, so that the rest of the plan would flow smoothly, I would have bashed all their skulls in.“Well it was nice doing business with you.” the snake that called herself Scarlet said as she held Henry's hand and they rushed over to their accomplices that had been waiting for them with a car that I just noticed. And in a few moments the only thing that was left of them at the border was a puff of smoke that came from the engine of the car.“You should have allowed me kill them...”I said to my mate with a ragged breath and she nodded.“You are right, if I had just gone along with their execut
Julianna's POV“Do you feel like backing out?" I asked him, leaning back on a tree and looking into his eyes. He looked back into mine and shook his head."No, this is the closest that I'll get to redeeming myself. I'm not going to throw this opportunity away..."His fingers clenched into a trembling fist and I walked over to him placing my own fingers in his until both of them entangled."Whatever happens from here, just know that I'm on your side.. Chester..." He nodded."I know that I don't deserve you Julianna, but thank you, thank you for sticking by me, even though I've been an idiot lately."I smiled as the dim glow of the moonlight above our heads somehow made this moment a little bit deeper and then his hands came over to my waist and pulled me to himself. Just then, we heard the sound of a car engine and we both took heavy breaths."It's them..." I whispered into his ear and he nodded.Holding my hand, we ran into one of the bushes, as the car that was carrying both Henry an
Koko's POV"So were you able to talk to Chester?" I asked him when he walked into the room and he just sighed and rested on the couch as if the whole world was on his shoulders.I walked over to him, and immediately sat by his side wrapping my hands around his waist and resting my head on his shoulder, it was almost like an instinct, the way he immediately rested on my head."Do you think he ran away?"He asked me out of the blue, as he was rubbing my arm."Too many suspicious things were pointing at him and he just decided to flee. I'm sure that Julianna would have gone with him, because nobody has seen her all day and it's already night.""You don't know if he's guilty or not, allthese may be nothing more than a misunderstanding…" I told him, looking up into his eyes and then he looked down into the mine."What if it is not a misunderstanding?"I broke my embrace from him."You can't just believe everything that Scarlett says! Especially since she's nothing more than a manipulative
Koko's POV"What do you mean by I should sit this one out?"I asked my mate, placing my hands on my hips and looking straight at him, with a questioning expression on my face. He was also at the gate of the palace with warriors behind us and rushing.“Don't you believe in me at all?” I asked him, but he was not even looking at me and was headed straight like an arrow and finally I could not take it anymore. I grabbed him by his hand."Give me one good reason why I should sit this out? I just want to come along and see if there's anything I can do at all."Then suddenly he pulled me over to his chest. He did it gently and told the warriors to keep going ahead and that he will catch up with them soon.“Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I'm underestimating you, but right now you are pregnant and it's not good for you to be stressed out like this, and that seems to be the only thing that's happening right now.So what you need to do is to go to sleep... Think about the baby and get
Alpha Niyol's POVThe light coming from the moon was rather dim this night, as we headed towards the bridge that Juliana had described.As I was driving there with my warriors, I wondered how exactly Chester had fallen into the river. The Chester I knew was not exactly the careless type that was unaware of his surroundings.Of course he would not be in the same place anymore. The current of the water would have taken him away to another direction and that was what we were planning to follow to find him, but the more we drove the more we found it harder to navigate the road.I was wondering how they had driven so far with their car. Was there another path to the bridge that I didn't know about?There probably was, because at a point, I realised that navigating through the bumpy road was even going to take us longer time than running.We parked, and came out of the car, immediately shifting into our wolf forms and howling at the moon, then bundled our clothes in our mouths.Of course, I
Koko's POVIt had already been 3 days since they started the search for Chester, but, there was still no trace of him. I spent those long three torturous days tossing, turning and pacing around the bed chamber.It felt so surreal, as if I was in a dream, a dream that I refused to wake up from and had melted into my reality.The Queen mother was there for me, as well as Laci, they tried to distract me with small talk and other things, but I was not really there with them, my mind was with my mate and so was my heart.Even though the time I spent with Chester was not that long, at least it wasn't long at all compared to how long my mate had spent with him, I could tell that he was a good man that meant a lot to my mate and losing him would be even more horrible and heart-wrenching than losing his right arm and the thought of that made sleep almost impossible for me.I was only able to blink my eyes a couple of times and before I knew it, it was already morning again, but somehow their s
Alpha Niyol's povOn the second night of the search, that my warriors and I had spent looking for my beta, we logged at a little motel for the night, when suddenly, Julianna, Chester's mate asked to see me.I knew the place was nothing like a palace, but there was no time to complain about comfort now when my Beta was missing.The door creaked open for her and she walked in after she knocked. She had a walk into the room with almost little or no steps. She actually took a few steps, but it was so quiet it was as if there was just a mouse walking past me.My heart was pounding against my rib cage with the way she was acting and I imagined the worst, but I really pushed those thoughts out of my mind."I'm sorry that I'm disturbing you this late in the night, your majesty.""It's not a disturbance, I'm sure if you want to talk to me at this time, it means you can't wait for the the morning to come. Then it must be important."I said to her as she stood in front of me and nodded."Yes, yo
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
