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
Julianna's POVWhat a morning!I flipped the pen I held with a smirk on my lips. Things were finally becoming clearer. If things went the way I've planned, we would find Koko in no time. I chuckled as I remembered my conversation with Scarlett. That lady sure knew how to put up on act. If I wasn't a professional, I would have believed her right away? She hadn't spent anytime with Henry? Let's see how true that statement is."What are you doing standing there all alone and smiling to yourself?" I turned to see Laci walking towards me with a tray of food in her hands. I put the pen in my shirt pocket and smiled at her."Oh, good morning, Laci." I greeted."Morning. It seems you had a goodnight sleep, seeing that you're smiling so much." She teased."I did, but that is not why I am smiling." I said. "Why are you holding that by yourself? Hand it over. I'll help you." I said and held the tray."It is not really necessary." She tried to resist"I insist." I collected it from her and she
Koko's POVMy eyes snapped open and I quickly realized that I had slept well last night. I guess it was because Scarlett and Henry did not visit to torture me last night. I stood up and managed to rest my back on the wall. I was damn uncomfortable, but I couldn't say anything, to avoid getting beaten up.I could feel my body heating up and touched my forehead. Gosh! My fever had returned. I wanted to ask for water, but remembered what happened the last time I did."You're finally awake!" One of the guards said."I thought she was gonna sleep all through today." Another rolled his eyes at me.I remained quiet and avoided eyes contact with them. The door to the cage opened and one of the men dragged me out. I yanked my hands away from his and crawled back into the cage. I didn't want them to torture me this morning or I might just die."Don't be scared. We aren't going to hurt you. See, I brought you breakfast." He said.I didn't know when I scoffed. Since when do they serve me breakfas
Niyol's POVI sat up on the bed and stretched my body. Chester came to sit before me. Maybe he was worried that I was hurting again, but weird enough, I haven't hurt since morning. Could they have left her to be? Or they released her?"Chester." I called."Yes, buddy." He answered and looked at me."Don't you find this weird?" I asked."What?" He asked."I haven't felt any pain since this morning. I don't understand what is going on." I furrowed my brows as I tried to think of something."If you aren't feeling any pain, shouldn't you be happy? That could only mean that they aren't torturing her anymore." Chester said."Yes but I'm worried. Could they have done something else to her?" I asked and stood up from where I was seated.Chester made me sit down back. "Calm down. If they have done something else, I am sure you would have felt it. She is fine for now and I am sure we are going to find her soon. Julianna is doing her best and I'll try my best to help as well." Chester said.I lo
Chester's POV"I lost the connection." Niyol said in a broken voice and plopped to the ground.I was shocked at his statement. Why did this have to happen? I remembered the happiness on his face when he found out that she had shifted to her wolf form. It was the first time since her kidnap that I saw that kind of vibe and happiness from Niyol but now it was all shattered to pieces."Niyol, what happened?" Laci asked. Her voice was already breaking and I could sense that she was scared about what her brother would say next."I was so close to finding her. I was so close!" Niyol snapped. "Why did she shift back? What are they doing to her?" Niyol yelled."He lost the connection? But how?" Laci asked. She was already tearing up. I held her and made her sit on the chair before returning to hold the Alpha."I'm sure there is another way we can look for her." I tried my best to comfort him even though my brain was blank at the moment.I couldn't think of anything in this hopeless situation.
Scarlett's POVThat night, I wore black jeans trousers with black T-shirt and black jacket then complimented it with a black canvas. Tonight, all my problems would finally be over.... Half of them though, because Julianna would still be alive, but all will be over soon."Tonight, Koko will die and Niyol will be all mine."I can't wait for that to happen. After Koko is dead and that meddling investigator called Julianna is dead too, I will win the Alpha's heart and become the Luna of the pack. I obviously can't wait for that day to come.I checked myself out in the mirror for the last time and picked up my phone. It was already getting dark. I took my black face cap and put it on my head."Good time for a perfect mission." I exhaled and stepped out of the house.I went to wait in a corner and texted Henry my location. It would be a bad name for me if people saw me walking around and dressed like this. It could also foil my plans.Henry arrived and I entered the car."Where have you bee
Julianna's POVAfter leaving Alpha Niyol's room and speaking with Chester, I pondered on all that had been happening. This wasn't quite clear yet. Alpha Niyol got connected to Koko's wolf? I rushed back to Alpha Niyol's room and sat down."I am sorry to bring this up, your grace, but I would really need the information from you." I said in a low tone and he looked at me."As far as it concerns Koko, I'll cooperate with you. You are free to ask me any questions." He said. I could sense the disappointment from his tone and mostly the pain."Okay. Please, explain this connection to me better. How did it come about?" I asked. I was really curious to know, because if any funny thing happened, my informant would have alerted me or drawn my attention. But I was yet to hear from him. I hoped he was safe."Well, I was told that if Koko should shift to her wolf form by any chance, I would be able to find her. I was finally happy when I felt that connection.""The connection? Which means she shi
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
