Koko's POVJulianna's question weighed on my mind the moment it escaped her lips, but then after a little while, I picked up my glass of wine over the table and sipped it.“Well, I'm considering giving them a trial.” I said fiddling with a glass of wine and I could feel her perplexed gaze on me.“A trial?” she asked and I nodded in affirmation.“We aren't barbarians, of course, even if the evidence is obvious and as clear as day, Henry is still the son of an Alpha and his father has been making quite a ruckus. We cannot simply eliminate an heir just like that and also...”I paused for a moment watching how the wine danced in my glass, and then I returned it back to its spot on the table.“I had no idea that you were this forgiving...”I didn't know if I was overlooking it or if there was a condescending tone as she spoke.“I am not that forgiving, please don't mistake what I am doing now Julianna... Both Henry and Scarlet will be punished thoroughly for their crimes, but I want to use
Koko's POVIt was the night before the trial for Scarlett and Henry. I went down to her cell to find her scraping the walls with her fingernails till they were almost completely gone. Then when she heard footsteps, she turned and saw that it was me and glared.“I was wondering when you were finally going to show up...”She said in an icy tone, turning on the floor and then getting up, walking towards the bars of her cell. She looked so bony and thin. As if she had not eaten a single morsel of food for weeks.“I'm sure you came to see how miserable I am doing, well here you are. Is this good enough for you?!"She asked me in a mocking tone spreading out her arms that were as slim as all the rest of her body."You got what you wanted b****, you finally ruined my life for me. That seems to be a talent of yours ruining everything you touch!"I almost found myself chuckling, but I had to hold back glancing at her to see if she had a head injury anywhere that I had missed because of the bad
Niyol's POVEven though I was the one teasing, I was the one even in more pain, because there was nothing I wanted more than to just thrust into her, but then I was holding myself back and it felt like my member was going to rip my pants and fling up in her face.Tonight, I did not want to rush anything. I wanted her to savor every moment, to be filled with the desire that I had for her and to express it in the way only I could, so when I asked her that question it took every fiber of self-control to not just go into her at the moment.It had just come off my head and slipped right through my lips without me even realizing it and there was no way I could take it back.Our eyes met and her face was so red, even more than usual which was really saying something; and I couldn't help but admire how cute she looked that way and my member ached more.Even when she wasn't doing anything, but just looking at me, it was enough to drive me to the borders of my sanity at full speed. Even so, I s
Chester's POV“I can't believe that in a few minutes I'll be seeing a royal trial, I bet is going to be fun...” Julianna said.As I imagined the other trails I had to sit through, the last thought that came to my mind was fun.Anyone who was ever to brought to the palace for a trial were people that had offended the royal family or had committed crimes against the entire Kingdom that was so grave that the Alpha King himself and the council along with I the beta and gamma had to handle it.And the punishments were always severe.“It's sad that Scarlett had to take herself down like this. If she had not allowed jealousy to overcome her, then she would have not turned out this way...”My head fell and I shifted back on my bed. I could feel Julianna's stare shooting a hole through my head, then I realized that I had made a mistake again. Before she could get up, I pulled her back to myself again.“I don't know why you still feel sorry for her after all she did to Koko.” She said to me.Ye
Koko's POV“My dear, are you worried?”The Queen mother asked me for the millionth time and for the millionth time I shook my head.“No, Ma I'm not worried, you shouldn't be thinking about that...”We were sitting on the reserved seats for royalties and she insisted on sitting next to me.I had hoped that Laci would call me so that I could avoid that, but since she was with her baby and told me that she would rather not see the process, I was stuck in the situation now.I told myself that I would do my best to try and forgive her, after all she was the mother of the man I loved and I could not put her away from his life.But, every time she spoke, I felt myself getting upset and then every time she would stroke my hair or pat me on my shoulder, the urge in me was how to shove her hand away.Even so, with every interaction with her made me better at controlling my emotions and my reactions, so I managed to show her a fake smile so that she would not ask me if I was still angry with her
Laci's POV.“So how did the trial go?"I finally broke into the silence that had invaded the dining table for some time after the food has been served and then my mother glanced over to Koko, probably asking for permission with her eyes if she was allowed to tell me and koko just nodded a bit nonchalantly as if she wouldn't care any less if my mother told it or not.I could tell that the air between them was still very tensed, but at least it was a little better now because they were at least hiding it better.Though, I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not."Honestly it went well, but I feel bad that my son had to waste so much time on something that wasn't necessary at all..."My mother was barely done talking when Koko entered the conversation.“Actually I was the one that told him to go through that unnecessary process and waste his time...”If I actually thought the air was tight before, that was nothing after Koko spoke. It was so thick that someone could even cut it with
Alpha Niyol's POVAfter everybody on the judging table had sat down in a semicircle arrangement, I began the meeting to decide the fate of Scarlet and Henry.“Now I'm sure that all of you have listened to The witnesses with utmost attention and you have all seen the evidence that have been brought before all of you, now I want all of your completely honest and unbiased opinions concerning this before I voice out my own...”I said to the people leaning back on my seat and crossing my legs waiting for their answers."Your majesty...” One of the oldest judges on the table stood up and give me a bow.“I think I speak for everyone one here on this table when I say that this case is as clear as black and white. The witnesses have spoken and the evidences as well and the story doesn't seem to be twisted until it gets to the suspects talking, so it is very clear that both of them are guilty, but I hope I am not too pompous to assume that we did not just come here to dance around that, but rat
Julianna's POV“So Koko came up with this idea?” I asked.“Yes, she did.” Chester replied.I was walking down the hall and Chester and some warriors were behind us, as we discussed the most important and crucial things concerning the case of Baby Liam's kidnap.It was now a couple of minutes before the judgment for Henry and Scarlett was supposed to be given.“What do you think about her plan?”He asked me and I combed my hair with my fingers.“Honestly, I think it's a little out of the box, but it could work. It's not like we have much choice anyways, the baby's mother must be so heartbroken and the father too.”“That's true.” Chester affirmed, as our walking step became faster, in order to increase our pace.I suddenly stopped and glanced at the warriors behind us. There was something that I wanted to discuss urgently with Chester and it was not something I could do with the warriors behind us.“Don't you think we will cover more ground if we split up from the rest of the gang?"I g
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
