Emory was busy sulking alone in his room after the second round of soldiers came back from the search and brought him the news of no hope. He paced up and down the room as the memories they had both shared flowed through his mind, he was weighed down with sadness and he knew that with the continuous news of no hope, he might never get to see his beloved mate anymore. Everything was tiring to him and nothing interested him anymore, he could see the last night they saw together vividly in his head. She had cried her heart out in front of him while pleading for mercy but he was too livid to hear anything from her. She did break the entire trust he had in her, he was disappointed in her secret that he had found out. He didn’t even mean all the things he had said to her but he regretted every bit of it because he couldn’t stop blaming himself about how it might have led to her disappearance. “I shouldn’t have pushed her away that night, I shouldn’t have been so harsh to her like that. I di
FREYA’S POV The party started and we were graced with series of dancers, singers and every other entertaining troops who had come to welcome me, the fake princess back to the palace. I watched every performances in happiness and I enjoyed everything was being displayed so much that I was carried away in the atmosphere, I didn’t even realize that Remy was staring at me from the side of his father. He kept staring and stealing glances at regular intervals but I didn’t notice until I turned to the side to check the people in the hall once again and our eyes met. I mouthed a “Why are you looking me?” towards him but he just bowed instead and faced the troop in front making me wonder why he was looking in the first place. The performances were finished and the Alpha rose up to welcome everyone at the gathering. “This is just a way of appreciating the moon goddess who had brought my princess back in peace, hale and hearty back to the palace. Also, this is to thank everyone who had helped t
REMY’S POV Hailey and Lacey rushed to open every door in the way as I carried the princess on my back to her room. They quickly opened the duvet and I finally dropped her on the bed, a deep sigh escaped my throat as I stared at the drunk princess who was busy nibbling on her tongue as if she was scratching it. With my hands in Akimbo, I kept staring at her while wondering why she took on such a crazy challenge when she didn’t even have to. It is not a new thing that her brother, Bain always put her in a difficult situation but she had never behaved this recklessly and when did she started drinking this well? From what I could remember, she has a little tolerance for alcohol. “Make sure you prepare a warm honey water for her when she wakes up and also change her clothes. Also wipe her neck and face with wet towels so she won’t reek hard in the morning” I instructed her maids and they bowed to the order before they rushed out to carry what I asked of them. I turned to check up on her
Heavy footsteps were heard in a huge yard as some men dressed in military uniforms marched around the laid down lines in an organized manner. Their guns were gummed tightly to their side with their faces straight and stern, the only voice heard is that of the commander who was yelling each command at the top of his voice. They dare not miss any command or fall behind so they were all in sync, their bodies moving at the same time and pace. It was obvious that it was a normal routine that wasn’t even strange to any of them at that point, at the sound of a loud and long whistle, they sped off to the end of the track as if their lives depended on it. “If you come in last, there is no food for you this morning” the one commanding growled as he watched them run for their lives. At the sound of a familiar voice, the commander turned to see Emory walking closer to him. “You are really scary like I have heard, they are all doing fine with your intense training” he remarked, watching them spe
For several days, Ansel was grounded at home with sickness because of the guilt eating him up, he was losing himself. He didn’t know it would backfire this much, he wouldn’t have done what he did. He was the center of whatever was happening to everybody because if he hadn’t raped her in the first place then she wouldn’t have a cause to run away, he wouldn’t lose his friend, the marriage would hold and everyone would be happy.He sighted Kimble, her mother along the street few days ago and all her eyes were sunken due to excess tears. She was looking haggard and lost with no sense of direction at all. He had to help her back home with the load she was carrying because she looked lifeless, everything was not pleasing to her, it was then he realized the extent of his crime because it dawned on him that he had snatched life away from the poor woman.She ranted for several minutes about what she would be doing at that time if she was around while he painfully sat through the sermon he didn
The idea of him coming into the bathroom when I was taking my bath was so ridiculous to me that I couldn’t help but be infuriated. I was planning to have a great and long bath since it was helping with my headache when he brought his troublesome self to my room without permission. What could be so important and urgent for him to charge at my bathroom? The lack of decency and respect is what I will not take even though I am dreading my identity being exposed and also, I couldn’t care less at that point, let the sky fall if it will.Hailey rushed quickly to my side, her mouth still hung open. She glanced at Prince Bain who clutched his hand to the slapped cheek in disbelief. “My Princess” she called out, her tone carrying the meaning that I shouldn’t have done that but I was not ready to hear any preaching from anyone about this action.I turned sharply to face her and Lacey, “What are you doing? Drag him out of my room” I yelled at them, fury dominating the innermost part of my eyes.S
PRINCE BAIN’S POV The slap I got from my younger sister was so humiliating that every cells in my body boiled hard. I really had to hold myself back then if not I would have smashed her into the wall. I was only looking out for her because father sent words that we should come together to the hall. I had forgotten for a tiny second that she had lost her memories so she probably might not remember that such a custom existed but then her maids should have explained to her before I got there. I thought she was only making excuses or trying to anger me just like how she does that’s why she buried herself in the bathroom under the guise of taking a bath so I was going to threaten her a little but it went out of hands. Ever since they have been getting into a brawl, she had never raised her hand at him even when he did something more infuriating that what happened earlier. Carefully rubbing his cheeks, he muttered to himself, “Did I go overboard back there? I didn’t even see anything and
Emory had moved on with life and was doing well at his duty post when the last batch of trackers he sent out came back empty handed. It was reported to him that although they searched to the borders of many packs, even almost into the human worlds, they couldn’t find her and he told them they could withdraw from the search. They had all done their bests after all. He had to deal with the fact that she would either come back home by herself someday or she would remain wherever she is and adapt to a new life. It was just heartbreaking that he would not be seeing her anymore or even if he has the chance, it would a time unknown to everyone, except the gods. He set up a farewell party for her in his room with a jar of liquor and the bracelet they both exchanged on their engagement day. As he was gulping down the alcohol, he was wondering why he could not even feel the mate bond, it neither went dead nor beat. It only lied dormant. If it was beating then he’d have an assurance that she wo
