78. XAVIER —"The fall of a king"

Several days had passed and it felt like the joy we once felt in the pack was no more. Everyone had kept to themselves and everywhere had suddenly begun to get so cold than it was. Ever since the day we were tempted to get intimate as a result of the mate bond, Ariel had avoided me like a plague. When we were able to meet, she would ignore me like I did not exist. I didn’t care either. I let out a sigh as I got prepared for what the day had to bring. No sooner had I stood up when I heard a knock on the door. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. “Come on in” I ordered and walked to the mirror; a smile etched to my face. “Good morning, Your highness” The stranger at the door greeted as soon as he opened the door. It was one of the guards and I wondered what had brought him there at that time of the morning. I nodded in response as I anticipated his message. “You have been invited to the royal palace. The Alpha wants to see you as soon as possible” He informed and again, I nodde

79. XAVIER — "now is not the time to be cold"

Father’s illness had come out to the world, and I was in a mind chaos. I didn’t know how to go about the whole thing. Father collapsing at the beginning of his announcement caused too much commotion, and I was in a daze. “Did you know?” I heard Juliet asked and I turned towards her. “Know what,Juliet?” I asked. “Know that Dad was sick. Was that why you had been going about learning the ropes of being an Alpha?” Juliet asked. “I’m in no mood to answer your questions, Juliet. Get lost.” I said coldy and she grabbed by my hands. “Now is not the time to be cold. Why didn’t you tell anyone, why didn’t you tell me?” She asked, her eyes brimming with tears. “He told me.” Ariel said quietly and Juliet turned and saw her standing behind her. “Why didn’t you say something?” She asked and Ariel sighed. “Father didn’t want Xavier saying anything, in order to avoid worry. We didn’t know he was this ill to the point of collapsing.” Ariel said and Juliet broke down into tears. “I’m sorry l

80. ROSELINE — " I'll show her what it meant to cross me"

That was my place, where Ariel was standing. Envy and Jealousy swell in my gut as I stared at Ariel and Xavier’s exchange. I though the whole divorce issue was meant to separate them. Why was this whole thing not going the way I planned. I sighed angrily and watched as the exchange between them went on. I had tried to come near Xavier, but he was not having any of it. He seemed to only crave Ariel’s touch and it was pissing me off. “Roseline, is everything alright?” I heard Ariel asked and I flashed a fake smile. “Yeah,I’m just checking to be surethat you and Xavier are fine. I know this can be really hectic.” I said and she sighed tiredly. “Its fine. You should go home and rest.” She said and I clenched my fist. What no, is she trying to show her self as Xavier’s wife? “You look tired. Is there something I can help with?” I asked and she shook her head. “No. I’ll handle things here myself and bring Xavier home. Just go on home and rest. I’;ll talk to you later.” She said an

81. ROSELINE — "He can't take her away from me"

Pissed off at the fact that my plan has been ruined by that bratty sister of Xavier, I walked into my bedroom. My day had gone extremely awry, it was not the way I had planned it all. Not only had Xavier ruined my plan by taking Ariel out of the kitchen, but Juliet had equally smashed the food on the floor, and ruined my lie. It was so annoying. Nothing ever went the way I wanted. I said nothing and closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I woke up the next morning, a lot more angry than the previous day. “Rosline, are you in there? We need to talk.” I heard Asher say from behind the door, and I rolled my eyes. If anything, I was in no mood to talk to him, or hear what dumb things he had to say. “What do you want?” I asked as soon as I opened the door. “Have you heard anything about Ariel and Xavier?I have been trying to communicate with her, but shes been to busy.” He said,his voice edgy with frustration. “Well, if its worth anything, Ariel and Xavier are never going to break up.”

82. ROSELINE — "Juliet is missing"

“Where have you been?” He asked and I stared at him, with raised eyebrows. “In my bedroom.” I said. “Why?” I asked, feigning ignorance. “Juliet is missing.” He said and I widened my eyes in shock. “What?!” I said, feigning shock and surprise. If only he knew where the fucking cunt of a woman was and the little game if hide and seek I was playing he would not have dared to come inquire something this trivial and useless from me. I was already on edge and on the verge of loosing it. I had to play along to avoid being suspect or my cover being blown open so I did what every other person who had a breathing conscience would do. I panicked and shook in fear. I mentally noted to myself to try acting as a hobby in my leisure time. "Oh my. Who could have taken her. You are the alpha, I suppose you know how to find her." I feigned concern while awaiting his response. Well, well, well if I was not a badass in everything I put my heart to. Xavier seemed to have taken his eyes off me and al

83. Ariel- "His breath could kill the inhabitants of an entire kingdom."

It was so unbelievable that someone had the nerve to infiltrate into the palace and kidnap Juliet. The palace was dead silent with little or no palace guess in sight. The search party had commenced but still, there were no traces of Juliet or whoever the culprit was in sight. I wondered how Xavier was coping with all this. Lately, I found myself caring for him more than I was supposed to. It had to be one of the features that came with being mated to him. Asher seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth and his absence could be felt in the palace. Words failed me to explain how bad I felt on how things turned out between us. Since we could not be lover's, I wished we could be friends at least. I knew I was asking for too much and it was extremely selfish of me to bite more than I could chew. Maybe Roseline would find a solution as usual to my problems..Roseline had being my ride and die for over two decades and some months. We grew up together in the palace and cherished each o

84. Xavier - "The tale of lovers turning to enemies overnight."

The search had ended earlier than planned and the exhaustion of the week had me dragging my feet to my room. I was halted in my steps by the unmistakable voice of my mate shouting in agony with fear eminent in her voice. Something had her riled up and she was in dire need of my help. The thought of deserting her in her point of desperation or totally ignoring her cry for help was not an option for consideration as I sauntered towards the sound of my voice ready to rip whoever it was responsible for whatever she was going through apart. The more I approached where her cry for help was heard the more the voice of the invisible second party sounded ever so familiar. Whoever it was that had her so riled up was no ordinary person. I decided to thread carefully so that I won't be calling for trouble where it was not necessary. After all, Ariel had deemed me to be a less important personality in her life so there was nothing I could do to change it. My wolf sobered up and I as well quelled

85. Roseline- "I was not just a force, I was the king."

My great grandmother called me a force, a powerful force that could destroy an entity if given the chance. At first, I saw it as a compliment but later on, when I had fully come off age and understood the principles of life, I decrypted what she said in my own words. Being a force was underrated and old fashioned. I was not just a force, I was the king. I wasn't born into royalty but I deserved everything that came with it. It was part of my genetic making and my very existence. Not getting what I wanted was never an option, I always got whatever I wanted even if it meant having some casualties here and there. Just when I thought my evening was going to be a perfect time for me to soak and drown myself in the bliss of soon having Xavier all to myself, that wench makes herself comfortable on my bed and gives me that dirty smile. She was threading on deep and murky waters and a single word from her would have made me snap. At least, she was clever after all. My mood might have gotte

86. Ariel- "He was morphine and I an addict."

I already pictured what would become of me once Asher made good with his promise. No one would even want to listen to my own side of the story. ThIngs had moved from complicated to worst for me. I was so embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Deep down, I knew where those emotions came from and why I felt that way. It had to be the bond I kept on telling myself. Whatever sexual rendezvous I had with Asher was prior to me getting married. I never engaged in anything sexual with Asher after getting married to Xavier. The thought of Xavier viewing me as a whore who had no control of her libido was not sitting well with me. I rose to go explain myself to him but stopped myself from taking another step forward or even venturing to open the door. It was already too late and the milk had already spilled. What I needed to do right now was consider Asher's offer and save my parents the shame and disgrace that their only threatened to bring to them. I could already imagine the disappointed face

87. Ariel- "Wolfsbane in the air was a freaking genius thing to do."

Memories of the previous night came flooding in, from the sprawled bodies of Mr. Griffin and Roseline to the masked man. Blood. Even in my unconscious state I could still remember how much he bled. My stomach churned and bile rose in my throat. The overwhelming memory had me waking up with my heart in my mouth. "She's awake Doctor come here this minute." A woman with a straight lining of grey on her hair, was by my side in minutes. I had no idea how I had gotten here but I knew whatever it was my attacker had injected into my system did not kill me. "My baby. My poor baby. I promise to get to the bottom of this atrocious act and severely punish the perpetrator." My father shook in anger as he spoke. "I can only imagine what your mother has to say once she gets a hold of this. She would go crazy in rage." Father shuddered at his own words while I found his reaction rather amusing. My mother was a headstrong and overzealous woman. A rare breed and an epitome of beauty. I knew she wo
