Third Person’s POV;“Some girl called my brother, sister-in-law, I guess” Cora replied with a big yawn at the end almost muting the last two words.‘WHAT? SISTER IN LAW?’ She shouted in her head. She felt like a dagger passed right through her heart.‘Is he getting married to someone else? Did he lie to me? Am I just a…’ She was dragged out of her train of thought when she heard the angelic voice again.“Who is it? And why did you receive the call when you are not even half awake?” Layla asked aggressively.‘Even her voice sounds elegant? She sounds like she was born to be royalty!’ Rose thought being amazed by the unknown female on the other side. Then the word sister-in-law echoed through her mind again. She couldn’t handle the pain in her chest anymore. She was not expecting a cheating scandal from Elijah ever. And in this case, if the girl is already living with his family then she is the one at fault. She is the one Elijah is using to cheat on the other girl and she can’t be the
Oliver’s POV;Soon, I changed into my wolf form, and I growled in anger.“ROSE! YOU ARE MINE!” Changing into my wolf form wasn’t enough to calm my racing heart. My feet were moving on their own. I was overwhelmed by the betrayal from the only girl I had loved my entire life. It was the last thing I was expecting, especially from ‘her’.I stopped in front of the lake and growled as loud as I can, to release my frustration. But today, it was not enough.I am pretty sure, I scared the hell out of every living being near me. I heard the footsteps of animals running away from me. I knew hunters were crawling on this land and if one found me, they would definitely try to kill me as they did with Elijah, but I couldn’t care less.As the name Elijah resonated in my brain, I was fuming with anger all over again. The tension in my body was back. I wanted to tear each and everything coming my way.There is no way I will let anyone, let alone that filthy crown prince, take my Rose away from me.
Oliver’s POV;‘MY MOM KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME?’ I shouted in anger but all I heard was a terrifying growl shocking even me to my core.It took me a few hours to change back to my human form, especially without any guidance. When I came back home, I did a lot of research on the herb that keeps werewolves from changing into their wolf form. I even went through my father’s diaries and found everything about wolfsbane and how it is so hazardous for werewolves that it can even kill your wolf slowly if given for years.It was crystal clear now that my mother knew that I was a werewolf but along with the realization came a dozen of questions in my mind but the simplest and most important was, how? The curiosity was killing me. Hence, I decided to ask my mother about it. There is no way she didn’t know and still kept giving me wolfsbane from the moment I turned thirteen.I confronted my mother and she accepted the truth in resignation. With a deep and regretful sigh she told me that my fathe
Rose’s POV;“WHAT?” I shouted and everyone turned towards me.Ignoring everyone, I removed my cell phone and called Oliver but his phone was switched off.“Where did he go?” I asked in a frightening tone.“Rose, he is going through a heartbreak. Let him be. Once, he will settle. I will ask him to meet you” Mark said in a low voice while holding my hand.I nodded in reply.If I say I was fine after hearing that, it would be a big fat lie. Because, I wasn’t. Knowing I was the reason for Oliver’s heartbreak was making me mad but it was better than hating myself for playing with his heart.I was almost done with the breakfast when I heard the doorbell. I checked the time on my wristwatch and it was exact 10 am.My foolish a*s then remembered how much time I took to decide which clothes to take with me as I only brought very few dresses because I was planning on sleeping inside my room this whole vacation. Not like I knew I would meet my sizzling hot Werewolf King mate.Eva and Nova ran tow
Rose’s POV;“Why did Elijah’s sister called you ‘Sister in law’ yesterday?” My tone was a bit hesitant when I was asking such a personal question to someone I just met.Layla didn’t look surprise at all, like she was expecting such question from me.“I knew you were going to ask that. I was waiting for it” She replied excitedly.Calling it ‘Embarrassing’ won’t be enough to address how was I feeling right now. I literally wanted the car to crash and either Layla to lose her memories due to the accident or for me to die.Anyways, dying due to accident would be better than dying out of embarrassment.“He he…” My cheeks turned strawberry red when I awkwardly smiled at her which made her chuckle even more.“Well, you see, I am Beta Liam Brown’s mate. He is also Elijah’s best friend” Layla“Oh, I met Mr. Brown yesterday” I replied“He would be glad if you call him Beta Liam though. See, in werewolf kingdom, they love it when you call them by their rank” Layla explained and I nodded.“So, Li
Rose’s POV;“Why didn’t you change?” She asked confusedly.“Thank you for helping me but I really want her to like me as I am. Elijah accepted me for who I am” I said“I understand and trust me, I really appreciate you being real. Let’s go meet his mother then” She smiled, she was so understanding.She is an angel!We moved towards the great hall again and then through the center, we moved inside another long chamber.After walking for a while, we finally reached near the Royal chamber.“Does Elijah stays here too?”“Nope, Elijah and Cora stays at the first floor”“Entire floor?”“Yeah. You have been given room adjacent to Elijah for now. I will take you there later”“I am afraid I will get lost in this huge castle” I replied“Don’t worry, you will be all fine” She addedShe knocked on the door which looked like it was straight from fairy tale.“Aunt Phebe, can we make your acquaintance?” She asked“Please come inside, my dear Layla” came a melodic voice from inside.She opened the do
Rose’s POV;‘Have I seen him somewhere?’“Sister in law, it’s rude to stare” the young guy said, coughing a little to bring me back to reality.Even his voice sounds familiar. Am I going nuts?“Oh, I apologize. It’s just., you look a little familiar” I replied, coughing back in embarrassment.‘A little? Not really! He looks a lot familiar but my darn brain just couldn’t recollect!’ I cursed my beautiful brain like always.“I am pretty sure I have never met you before” he replied nonchalantly.No doubt, the kid was confident but the way he spoke it was straight away rude. Nobody was interested in that miniature sized guy when I have the mighty werewolf king for myself.“I beg your pardon?” I replied, plastering a tight smile.“I wasn’t being rude, sister in law, if that’s what you are concerned about” was his another nonchalant reply.‘Can he read mind? Is this kid special?’ I thought but his next statement dragged me out of my chain of thoughts. “It’s just, they always keep me locked
Rose’s POV;“Layla, is he in some kind of danger?” I asked, with uneasy thought, my heart was thudding against my chest. “He is The Future Werewolf King, he is always in danger” She waved her hand casually like its normal to always be in danger.“What’s the other reason?” I asked curiously.“Whenever he goes, people follow. People stare at him like mad dogs and don’t even get me started with those bimbos who lust over him, all the damn time. He was never interested in that kind of attention. Hence, he keeps his things private. Only a few people have access to his chambers.” Layla explained patiently.We were passing through a gigantic wooden door that was carved to perfection.“That’s Elijah’s room” She pointed toward the giant door as we walked past it. It really took us a while to pass the entire area to reach another door which was nearly as big as Elijah’s door.“So, how many people stay in here, in this very chamber?” I asked as we were standing near the second door.“Just Elija
