"Isn't that Alpha's Raiden's daughter?" People murmured, glaring at me with hateful eyes but I couldn't care less because right now I think I'm going to lose my mind.I'm still trying to put myself together after that unexpected push that the twins sprang up on me without thinking of informing me first. What if I died?"Good thing you didn't die," Arla replied unbothered."Now get your butt off the ground and put those torturous training from the Queen to use because right now, a slave looks more coordinated than you do.""You're so not nice," I frowned, pushing myself off the ground, dusting dirt off my glamorous gown.Everyone gasped in awe seeing the beauty of my gown as I stood up straight. Their eyes that once showed judgement and scorn now shone with admiration well apart from two very negative people.The Queen who wore an horrified look on her face seeing I wasn't wearing the dress she specially picked out for me, the ceremonial red dress Mirabelle, who glared at me out of p
The entire hall was silent, all that could be heard was the heavy breathing of two angry men who were in a fierce staring contest. If the King hadn't intervened I was quite certain that a fight would have broken out between the two, Lord Renfrew throwing the first blow seeing that he has a very bad temper.lPersonally speaking, I was glad my dad spoke back and did not just pretend not to be here."I didn't really think he'd say anything," Arla commented and I shrugged."He's my father afterall and I took my attitude from him. He's not one to cower away from a verbal challenge.""But it seemed to me as though he wanted no hand in the fight happening seeing that he remained silent up to this point.""You're right, he didn't but there's no way all this would have ended without his name being mentioned," I smirked."All he just needed was a little something to add to the fire."Arla grasped, finally realizing what I meant."You prompted Mirabelle's father to make that statement to push yo
"Imelda!" Scarlett yelled, waving her hands in the air for me to see her."As much as I would love to stand here and chat with you, I have other things to attend to," I smiled, fakely."Please do excuse me, Lord Renfrew," he nodded stiffly and I turned to leave, my smile dropping immediately."Imelda," Mirabelle tried grabbing me but her father stopped her."Don't, let her go."I smirked, looking at her shaking in anger. This was the angriest I had seen her and I must say, it was a nice view."You should listen to Daddy, Mirabelle," I winked at her, provoking her more and left, approaching my family."OMG, Imelda that was so badass, the way you stormed the ball, took charge and ended it abruptly in your favour is so mind blowing," Irina gushed, talking fastly."Slow down Irina," I laughed."We can't have you choking and dying of excitement on my mating ceremony day."She rolled her eyes, not a bit concerned. "I can't choke, so you have nothing to be worried about.""Irina, give your s
I don't know where the hell I was but it felt like I was dreaming. That was the only sane explanation I could come up with for the situation I was in presently.I looked back, but the door through which I came through had vanished. I had to wipe my face to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. Looking up, fear clouded my eyes at what was before me.The girls were both tied to a wooden stake with silver binds and they were knocked unconscious with fire surrounding them."Imelda!" I heard my name and I turned to see Derek surrounded by the elders and the different packs behind him, all watching the situation with no sense of urgency in their eyes."What are you all doing?""Help them out!" I yelled but they all laughed asides Derek who had his eyes fixed on me."No one can help them out," I saw Becca amidst the crowd crying. Was this why her mood was gloomy when she brought me here?Did she know about this from the start?"They are of royal blood, this is no way to treat a Princess," I raged
My brain tried processing everything that led to this moment.First, Becca had led me to a strange room and left me to go in alone.Stepping into the room, I met Naya and Maya knocked out, both tied and kept in the midst of a fire, left to burn. There was Mirabelle also, close to being executed.It all felt like a dream but in reality it wasn't. After Mirabelle was beheaded right in front of me, I kind of ended up here.I was in an open field with wild shrubs, fruits and animals moving around. The smell of wildlife felt so calming and for once, it felt like it was in the right place."You still like it here as always," the dazzling woman smiled.I faced her and frowned. One detail I missed was waking up to see a beautiful strange woman crouched beside me, calling me Temis.If I died weren't they supposed to have my name written down somewhere to recount all my good and bad deeds?"You're not dead yet stupid, stop thinking that you are," she cackled, picking up a wildflower."You read
"Come on, Imelda, we are sorry!" The girls pouted as they all ran after me while I paid them no attention.After relieving myself of the worry of seeing them hale and hearty, I became pissed at them just as I was with Becca."Imelda!" Maya grabbed me by the arms stopping me from taking any further step."Let go," I said calmly but I was boiling within."We are sorry, please just hear us out," the girls pleaded while Becca just stood aside silently unable to say anything. I was more pissed at her than I was with the girls because she personally fed me the Opium without informing me."Well you can't be pissed at me, I didn't know about all this and this is simply my first time of attending a ball," Irina said but I ignored her, facing the girls. Truly she wasn't guilty but I was pissed at all of them all the same."So you can give me some flimsy excuse like Becca?" I rolled my eyes and the girls bit their lips, looking sorry. I know I shouldn't really be pissed at them because they were
"You know him?" I glanced from Maya to the strange man."Sweet Goddess, it's truly Eric!" Naya squealed happily, throwing herself on Eric and hugging him tight."Naya, you're killing me." "Your breast is suffocating me," Eric chuckled while I just watched them silently. Unlike Naya who looked pretty much happy to see Eric, Maya look shocked and hurt seeing him and I wonder why."They probably had some bad history together," Arla suggested and I couldn't agree less."We need to go right now we are running late," Irina chirped, looking uninterested in their reunion."OMG, that's true," Naya exclaimed finally pulling away "We need to go Imelda," Naya grabbed my hands and that of Maya who was still rooted to the floor and dragged us away with Irina tagging along behind."Where do you guys know him from," I asked curiously as we rushed out of the house."He is one of Derek's best friend." "He's being away for a while now, I guess hearing that Derek is getting mated toward brought him ba
The sun reflected from the window, shining from my face and I grumbled, turning to the other side. "Becca close the window," I muttered but there was no reply which was strange. Becca should be here by now.I slowly tore my eyes open and closed it back, my eyes not fully adjusted to the light. After some seconds I slowly opened by eyes again, looking around The world around me was a blurry tableau, and it took a moment for the details to emerge from the fog. As my senses slowly adjusted, I realized I was lying on a plush bed, enveloped in luxurious sheets that I could tell were not my own."Where am I?" I wiped my eyes, trying to make sense of my environmentPanic stirred within me as I attempted to make sense of my surroundings. The room was elegantly adorned with regal accents and strange furnishings which looked oddly familiar. It didn't take long for recognition to dawn upon me; this was Derek's room."What hell was I doing in Derek's room, on his bed?"My gaze fell upon a refle
