*BITTER SWEET*I stared with my face and eyes moistened up with tears at everyone as they threw different spiteful insults at me.Wow... How fast does news fly here?It's almost like they had a transmitter or something because how did everyone know I had shifted and even killed someone in less than an hour.Fear gripped me as I wondered the severe punishment that awaited me if the royal palace hears of this.Gosh, the last thing I want is getting back into that dungeon.If only everyone would have just a little sympathy and shut their darned mouth then everything would be fine, or would it?No matter how much I wanted sympathy, it's quite clear I just murdered someone.My thinking wasn't flowing in the right direction anymore but I couldn't fail to realize that even when I shifted to my human form, I still had my clothes on.That doesn't happen or does it?I don't even know anything anymore.And it seems like everyone is oblivious of that particular detail... My clothes aren't shredde
*A MATE, AGAIN? DON'T COME TO ABANDON JUST STAY*Taken back to the dungeon was one of the most dreadful experiences but I was able to stay alive till this very moment though the darkness still creeped me out and I couldn't wait to see the light of day. Though I wasn't sure that particular wish would ever be granted. *Scoffs*Not like any of my wishes ever gets granted.Just as I cursed my very own existence, the door to the dungeon creaked open. It was like some movie that had been rewinded because come to think of it, this was the same way the door to the dungeon opened the first time I was here. "You're quite a lucky one." A voice came from the doorway and the effect of seeing sunshine after a long while made me shut my eyes as they were hurting. Shutting my eyes wasn't enough as the lights were still able to penetrate into my eyes as if they would pierce through my soul at any time.My whole being felt sore and it was even more like I'd been deprived of my freedom to live like
*GOT ANOTHER MATE! DOOMSDAY!!!*Already aware of the fact that the Alpha I had just served was my second chance mate, I decided to act like I didn't notice anything and just keep on moving.Especially now that it seems like he isn't aware yet but who am I kidding?He's an Alpha and it's possible that he already knew it before I noticed.Why else would he thank a servant?I was about to pour wine for the person beside him when I felt an additional weight on my hand and somehow the touch made my body tingle."Mate." He announced to the hearing of everyone and I raised my gaze to meet his smiling eyes.Immediately, some of the Alpha's began cheering him and my eyes moistened up.Was he accepting me?On my birthday?Double bliss!!!I didn't know why but I suddenly got that feeling you get when someone is staring intensely at you and I had to swerve.As I turned, my eyes came face to face with Alpha Amos.It seemed like he was using his eyes to drill and bore holes at the back of my head.
"The luna wants to see you."I glance up and see Katherine staring at me with a frown. She passes along the message without saying a word and walks away. I finish my meal and make my way to the luna's office, wondering what this meeting is about.I softly knock on the door. "Come in," Luna commands. "Good morning, Luna," I bow. "You wanted to see me." "Kneel," she says firmly, but I'm not sure if I heard correctly. "Excuse me?""I said kneel," her eyes are unwavering.Without needing to be told again, I fall to the floor. "What have I done this time?" Or what have they accused me of this time? Luna looks at me as if I'm a piece of meat. "Your mere existence alone is a sin. Do I need a reason to punish you?"Even my mother's death was not enough to satisfy her thirst. She must want me dead too. She stands up from her table and walks towards me, grabbing my collar and forcing me to meet her gaze. "The sight of you alone disgusts me. Do me a favor and disappear from my sight forever." I
What do you think you're doing?" Alpha asks angrily. It's been years since I last saw my father like this.Zya starts trembling, "I only wanted to teach her a lesson, I didn't mean to hurt her.""Isn't she older than you? Who should be teaching whom a lesson?" He questions, and Zya remains silent. I can't believe my father is publicly defending me like this. I thought he had forgotten about me long ago. His eyes briefly meet mine, and he seems stunned before quickly looking away. Nothing has changed; he still can't bear to look at my face."Are you alright, child?" He asks softly, avoiding eye contact."I'm fine, Alpha. Thank you for your concern," I reply, bowing my head respectfully.I miss the time when he was still a father to me. We used to be inseparable, and I would cry whenever he wasn't around. Even my mother was envious of our bond. But now, look at us. It's nobody's fault but his.He reaches out for my arm, but I instinctively step back, feeling uncomfortable with his touch
I felt like an item up for auction, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. The room fell silent when Marc made his declaration, and no one dared to make another offer. "Then Marc shall have her," Alpha broke the sudden silence.This news brought a smile to Marc's face, but I was too horrified to speak. How could my own father do this to me? It was one thing that he neglected me for half of my life, but now he was selling me off to a stranger in exchange for livestock and land. I should have realized something was amiss when he introduced me to everyone as his daughter."What are you waiting for?" Alpha's voice snapped me back to reality. "Won't you go and greet your husband?""We never discussed this, Alpha," I mustered up sudden courage.Alpha was shocked by my sudden challenge, but anger quickly replaced his expression. "Since when do I need your permission to make a decision?"But I was the one getting married. If anything, he should have informed me beforehand. I could only bri
As nightfall approached, I anxiously fiddled with my dress, waiting for Marc to enter the room as he had promised. Earlier, there had been a heated argument among his wives, with Jade, the third wife, who claimed that she was told she would be the last. Blair, on the other hand, couldn't bear the thought of sharing her husband with another woman more beautiful than her and demanded that I be kicked out. Rona simply insisted that Marc sends me packing without offering a reason. As a maid led me to the bedroom, I already knew that my time here would not be easy. Never in my twenty years of existence did I imagine that I would end up marrying a man with three wives and becoming the fourth.Alpha must have known about this situation beforehand, yet he still allowed me to be given to Marc. My hatred for my father grew stronger with each passing second. Suddenly, the door swung open, interrupting my thoughts. Marc entered the room with an air of majesty, and I sat up, unsure of what would h
My cheeks were still sore from the slap I received earlier in the day. It took all the maids in the mansion to separate us from each other. Ever since then, I made sure to keep my distance from all three of them. I sought solace in the garden, admiring the beautiful flowers, when someone sneaked up from behind and pushed me into the pond.I struggled to breathe, desperately gasping for air in the water. Rona, however, just stood there, watching me with pity. "Please," I begged as the water filled my lungs. I didn't know how to swim."If I help you, will you promise to run away and leave my husband for good?" she asked mischievously.I wanted to tell her that it wasn't my decision to make, but I was starting to lose consciousness. "Have you lost your mind?" Marc's angry voice boomed. Without waiting for her response, he dived into the water and rescued me.Rona showed no remorse, her posture unwavering as she stood confidently. He guided me out of the water, my breath heavy and labored
