Chapter 41: Pain and Blood

Ella’s POVMy already shattering heart fell to the pit of my stomach. Tears burst through the seals of my lids and my chest felt inundated with pain and denial.Michael had said he was my second chance mate… He said he loved me…“Aww, you don’t have to cry,” Selena whispered, “Bad things happen to bad people…”I could barely register what she was saying as my entire body was refusing to take the information I had just heard. It was like Deja vu. It felt like I was cursed. Why did all the bad things have to happen to me?First, it was Ryker. I thought everything in my life was finally going to be better after finding him, but it was all a façade. He had given his heart to someone else and then Michael…“He said he loved me…” I whispered to myself, and I heard the burst of laughter that left Willow and Selena’s lips as my words.I raised my eyes to look at them and they suddenly seemed like new additions to the small house we were in. My breathing was almost coming out at gasps and all

Chapter 42: Smile Through It

Ella's POVWillow immediately took her leg off my arm and we all turned to the door —me with hope but the others looked with disdain."Get to your feet and place your hands behind you." Selena ordered through clenched teeth.Knowing what she was capable of, I didn't dare argue, I placed my bleeding hand behind me just as she had instructed and pretended like all was fine.Willow immediately went on her knees and started picking up the broken shards of glass, like if had been her duty all along."I was— oh," Aunt Emily paused as she finally stepped into the room and her eyes fell on the three of us. "Willow dear, what are you doing? What's— oh..."She got closer and she saw the damage herself. "Ola! Sandy!" She instantly bellowed and two maids appeared behind the door with trays in their hands."Yes, ma'am," they chorused with their heads bowed."Drop the trays over there and get something to clean this mess immediately," she instructed the maids, and then she turned to us, "Willow de

Chapter 43: Numb with Tears

Ella's POV The awful evening finally came to an end and I was permitted to return to my room.As I walked out of Aunt Emily's cabin, I felt their eyes on me, and my soul was filled with fear. There was nothing my wolf could do to calm me.I kept fighting the urge to run right there and then. But I had to control myself because if I ran to my room it would birth questions and Willow and her accomplice, Selena wouldn't like that.So with my thumping heart, I continued walking, making sure to keep to the light and where I could see the guards hanging around. At least they wouldn't hurt me in front of people or so I thought until I heard the loud horn of a vehicle coming behind me.I moved out of the way just in time for the pink SUV to swerve past me in a very rough way. It was just mere inches before they scratched me.As their vehicle passed, I remained on the road with a hand on my racing heart.'All of these is your fault. You should have listened to me!' Nala growled.'You should h

Chapter 44: A Deeper Game.

Hello dear readers, Thank you all so much for reading, voting and subscribing for this book. I hope you are all enjoying it as much as I enjoy writing it. Please feel free to comment on what you think about the story, to help me make it even better. Xoxo❤️❤️ ......... Michael's POV 'Pathetic little fool,' my wolf growled as I marched out of Ella's room. I had managed to calm her and she fell asleep in my arms. Hopefully, when she woke up, she would erase every doubt she had about me and we would go forward with the mating as planned. I have worked too hard for anyone to mess this up for me at this point. My hands clenched and unclenched as I marched down the corridor and headed to Selena's room. She had a lot of explaining to do. I would not sit still and watch her mess up all of my hard work for me. I had to talk some sense into her. As if her door knew that I was coming, it burst open as soon as I got a couple of feet close to it and Willow stepped out with the sound of t

Chapter 45: Private Puddle

Ella's POVI was woken up by the sharp knock on my door in the middle of the night.I sat up quickly with my heart ramming in my chest and I was still trying to make out what was going on when my door burst open and Willow's silhouette stood there.Her long flowy nightdress swept across the room as she walked in and turned on the lights. The blinding brightness it created hit my eyes like the edge of a knife and I had to protect them with my arm."Hello, Ella, I am thirsty. I need a very cold glass of water, get up and go get it for me." She ordered in a soft innocent voice.My brain was still fuzzy and my heart was still fighting the alarm her presence had caused, but I dragged myself out of the bed and took the jug in her hands."Hurry!" She hissed and I nodded, moving as fast as my tired and aching body could allow.Tears were already forming on my face but I sniffled them away."I have to be strong," I mumbled to myself as I walked in the direction of the kitchen.Everyone was asl

Chapter 46: Surviving Pain

Ella's POVI had two options. I could scream and the entire royal family would descend in the room. But knowing Willow, she was going to change the narrative.The story would become a different one and I couldn't be in the right since I was the one in her room. She might even go ahead and tell them that the baby belonged to Ryker.Things might take a very shaky turn at this point and I couldn't begin to deal with that. Not at this moment.The second option I had, which was the only one that could yield positive results was agreeing to her deeds... At least just for now.As soon as the mating ceremony was completed with Michael, I would request for a small cabin, far away from the royal house. This way, Selena and Willow would have no reason to come torment me.I just had to put up with them for a few more days."What are you waiting for, Ella? Come on, go to sleep... Take a nap!" A deep chuckle escaped her lips and she moved to the bed and sat down to comfortably watch me freeze over

Chapter 47: The Old Rumor

Ryker’s POVElla’s cousin -Selena’s- words continuously echoed in my head and no matter how hard I tried to forget them; I couldn’t bring myself to do it.“The only place we haven’t searched is the land of the dead…” she had said, and it stuck in my head like a terrible circular song that refused to go away.‘Ella can’t be dead,’ my wolf hissed, expressing the same thoughts I was having in the depths of my stomach.She had to be alive somewhere. There had to be a place she could go to. Now that it was clear to me that she had a family in Crystal Pack, I was certain there would be a place she would go to seek refuge and I would find her, even if it became the last thing I did.I wouldn’t let a mere female waltz into my life and violate a contract she had signed with me. She was supposed to be my Luna and not someone’s whore. If at all anyone was supposed to be with her, it should have been me.My wolf shifted in my head at my thoughts, but I ignored it. I knew what he was going to say

Chapter 48: New Alliances

Ella’s POVMy lungs tightened as fear soaked into them. There were a thousand ways this could go wrong, and I didn’t even want to begin to imagine what would happen if I dared venture into it. All I wanted at this point was to escape from here with my life and not add more people to the list of my problems.“Esther… what are you talking about?” I forced out a carefree scoff -that was supposed to pass for a chuckle and moved away from the door. “I am fine. I don’t know what you are talking about…”I heard her legs as they kissed the floor behind me. The door closed but I refused to turn even though her aura stood strongly behind me. It was best to ignore problems when they came and right now, pulling Esther into my problems was an issue I didn’t want to start.“I have seen the way Willow looks at you. I have seen the way the princess treats you… if you continue like this, they will kill you. Especially Willow. I know her. She is in a relationship with a very ruthless Alpha. People say

Chapter 49: Changed Plans

Ella’s POVThe days were finally starting to move fast. Selena and Willow kept making my life hell, but I refused to give them the satisfaction they craved. Through all the torture, I kept a smile on my face.My child was my strength and the very thought that Esther and her friends were working behind the scenes to make sure that my escape was successful, gave me all the courage I needed. I didn’t cry when they slapped me. I didn’t let the discomfort get past my skin because I knew that it would soon be over.“Ella?” Aunt Emily’s voice reached my ears while I was in Selena’s toilet -she had forced me to clean up the mess she made while she and Willow watched recorded dramas and documentaries on their phones.Aunt Emily’s footsteps were getting closer, so, I quickly dropped the toilet brush I was holding and pretended to have been washing my face by the sink.“Are you okay, my dear?” she exclaimed as our eyes met through the mirror, and from the corner of the door, I saw Willow and Sel

Chapter 50: The Blood Dress

Ella's POV"What are you talking about, Aunt?" I blurted forcing a frown onto my face.For an older female, it was normal for her to discern between pregnancies. The signs she had mentioned were strange because I hadn't even noticed them myself.She was quiet, only staring at me as I grabbed the night dress from her and headed for the door. "Let's get going. There is no point staying here anyway," I grumbled.I would have to find a way to communicate with Esther somehow.Thankfully, Aunt Emily didn't comment on the signs of my pregnancy anymore. She quietly joined me at the door and we walked together to her cottage."There is only one room in here, so we would have to share it. I hope you don't mind?" She asked as she unlocked the door and invited me inside.I didn't actually care about spending the night with her. my only concern was how I was going to get Esther to speak to me and change the plans we already had.We thought we had more time to plan on the transportation and how we
