~Legend's POV~ I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. "Things are about to get hot." Gael said and I chuckled. I know he does not like the way I did not tell him anything but I just can't. "Let's get going." I said and we both stepped out of the room. As we walked the corridors of the palace, the maids and guards bowed in greetings. I released a deep breath and wore a stern face. Just as we got to the entrance of the throne room that announcer was about to alert them of my presence buy I raised my hand to shun him. "The Alpha Prince..." He swallowed the rest of the word as I stepped into the room. Everyone turned their heads to towards me. And I stood all and mighty in the middle of the throne hall. My father and I shared this 'make sure what you want to say does not lead to your dethronement' kind of look and I almost snickered at him. "Rest, father." I said through the mind link and he seemed to be taken aback. I looked around to take a good look at th
** CIARA'S POV** Hey… kick… will… punch… you… slap… get… kick… up.I was woken up by the severe pain from the beating of the pack members. They saw that I already woken up and yet they decided to keep beating me until I began to see black dots… I fell unconscious again.**I opened my eyes sharply immediately I felt the sting of hot water on the injuries on my body. I opened them to see a pair of green eyes piercing into my blue eyes as if they were trying to find something in it. I instantly knew who those pair of eyes belonged to ; Beta Lucas, I saw him holding a bucket in his hands.‘Wait, how did I get here?’I was at my house, well, more of a small room.The pack members must have brought me to the pack house but where are they now?.‘None of my business'I rose up to my feet quickly knowing I would receive another round of beating if I was not quick and then I met anger written all over the Alpha Xander's face.‘Ah!, I’m in so m
**CIARA'S POV**After I stopped by the lake, I looked at my reflection in the lake. I shifted in to my human form and bent down then I started crying.10 years of being bullied... 10 years of bearing pain and insults... 10 years of being misunderstood... 10 years of striving to survive... 10 years of being in pain.I wonder why I am still alive. After several beating from the pack members, not just only them but became an object for training for the pack warriors.The feeling of being hated, neglected and being in bondage , or rather captivity.Run away... I have considered that several times but I just could not leave. I mean if I leave here, I turn rogue." Urgh! Never" I spat.I cried, shouted, screamed and yelled. When there were no more tears to shed, I stood up sluggishly and wore my almost torn clothes, they were dirty but who cares. I sighed.As I was walking, I started remembering the hurtful past event that I did no
**CIARA'S POV**As we got to the class, I dropped their bags and went to sit at the far end of the class because that is where I was told to always sit.Not minding the stares from my classmates, I settled down and brought out a notebook. The teacher came in and taught. I had two more classes then I left to prepare for Nicole's homecoming party.As I was leaving, it started raining and I did not have an umbrella or money to board a cab. I walked home under the rain despite being drenched by it. Well, unfortunately for me, I caught a cold. Then I remembered that I have to prepare for Alpha Xander's younger sister, Nicole, homecoming party. I jerked up disregarding the pain I was feeling immediately. I sneezed and rubbed my nose then I headed for the packhouse. I started preparing for the party which will be held tonight.After I was done with the cleaning, I helped the decorators, I washed and cleaned the wine cups and bottles.*The party already starte
**NICOLE'S POV**My eyes stared in to the crowd searching for my brother. Well, I caught the beta, Lucas, kissing a lady. Awww.I kind of mind linked him, he turned and narrowed his eyes trying to locate me and then he finally saw me. I smiled and he returned with a little smile of his. He started coming towards me with the lady."Good day." I said."How was your journey?" He asked."Fine." I said.I introduced him to my friends and he introduced me to the lady. I found out that she was his mate."Where is my brother?" I asked him."He is on his way here." He replied"Alright." I said."Enjoy the party girls." He said before leaving us.**XANDER'S POV**"Where is my sister?" I asked Lucas."Over there." He replied pointing to the direction.I went over there and met her with her friends, a smile crept on my lips. As I got there, she saw me and ran to jump on me. I was quick to catch her."My
**CIARA'S POV**Waking up this morning, I was not feeling well. Like I was having this weird feeling in my guts. I shrugged it off and went into the bathroom."Oh moon goddess, make this day trouble free day for me." I said joining my two hands together and closing my eyes.After I was done with my dressing, I carried my little school bag. I remember it was given to me by a pack member, he wanted to put it into the trash can but then he kind of remembered that there was an omega that could use the trash instead, I collected it since I did not have a choice.After preparing breakfast, I left the pack house and headed for school. On getting to school, i met a lots of students, some were chatting while some were reading, sometimes i wished we had not gone for that picnic, i wished i had not agreed to persuade the Alpha. I wished i could be with my friends just the way everyone is, have best friend , hang out with your male friends, go to night clubs an
**CIARA'S POV**"Oh, i am so dead." I said to myself while running home.As i got home, i was so scared. I heard Xander's voice and at that moment I knew my death day already arrived, finally. I could feel his Alpha energy radiating from afar. I was shivering from the inside because of fear.But why should be afraid since it like a wish come true?I am finally going to meet my parents. I smiled a little.He broke down the door and came in, I curler up into a ball and shuddered."I warned you, didn't i?" He shouted at me."I told you to stay away from her, didn't i?" He yelled at me."If anything happens to my sister, i swear on my parents grave, I'm gonna kill you." He said.After he was done, he left then i saw a guard come drag me to the dungeon.On getting there, I saw Xander with a whip that has sharp edges. The guard threw me inside the dungeons, i felt flat on my tummy. Ouch!The lashes of the w
**XANDER'S POV**"I never knew you went through something like that." Eunice said and smiled pitifully at me."It is okay, I have been facing it, that is why i must protect Nicole at all cost." I said. I have been fighting an inner battle with Killian. He wants to mark his mate but I don't want to force her."I want to mark you." Killian said after pulling the last string and finally won.She was taken aback by his husky voice."What was that?" She asked. I cannot reply her because our handsome gentleman, Killian, is attending to her.“Hi, I am Killian and I am his wolf." He said and smiled at her.Dummy! I scoffed."Ohh, hi." She said shyly. She calmed down a bit but I could sense her nervousness."Should we go for a run?" He asked after a while."Run?" She asked."Yeah, run in the woods, you know." He said with a smile. Gosh my wolf has been whipped which is now affecting me."Okay, how
