Third Person’s PovLoraine pretended to just have awoken from her sleep. She yawned and let her voice sound hoarse while looking in the direction of her door where the head maid and her fellow maid just wanted to see her make a fool of herself.Loraine looked surprised at the sudden intrusion of the head maid. Upon meeting their eyes, Loraine stood up and climbed off her bed, standing in front of the head maid.“I’m sorry, I have been sleeping…” Loraine guiltily said while lowering her head, making the head maid dispel her doubts that Loraine went out earlier when they were too busy trying to find the person who bore the similar mark to the Alpha King.Besides, she must have been hallucinating earlier since she really saw Loraine go out, but upon seeing Loraine right now, her doubts were dispelled, especially because Loraine really seemed to be sleeping since there were red traces on her left cheek that she had been sleeping this afternoon. Her hair was like a bird's nest and her voic
Third Person’s PovOn the other hand, Pauline was extremely suspicious of the Alpha King. Although they weren’t close to each other- or more like the Alpha King doesn’t want to get closer to her, Pauline could confidently say that there is no other woman in the Alpha King’s life. But now, it was especially different that the Alpha King had received a mark on his body, indicating that he had a mate.‘Did he already find his mate?’ Pauline asked herself while gritting her teeth from anger.Pauline stood up in front of her mirror, immediately walking towards to the chamber where the Alpha King’s grandmother was currently resting.She should tell the Alpha King’s grandmother about this. Since she can’t directly follow or send some spies towards the Alpha King to confirm her suspicion, especially that the Alpha King would immediately find out about it, and the fact that the Alpha King doesn’t like her very much, she needs to ask for the Alpha King’s grandma.Before Pauline could enter the
Loraine’s PovI raised my head and looked up at Aaron, who wasn’t acting like the rumored tyrant Alpha King who would truthlessly torture his enemy, behead those who dared to get in his way, and slit the throats of those who dared to speak rashly about him.In front of me, what I saw wasn’t the rumored Alpha King, but rather a big black dog who was wagging his tail while looking at me.I helplessly sighed and rolled my eyes. “Are you sure that you are really the Alpha King that they had spoken of? Why are you behaving like a dog?”Just like what I had expected, Aaron wasn’t angered by my words. Well, I had noticed that he easily doesn’t get angry whenever I speak back at him about the fact that I am just merely from the fallen enemy he had captured-well, he had indeed choked me back then, and I haven’t forgiven him about that.Aaron hugged my waist tightly and buried his face on my neck while nuzzling it like a dog, conveying his affection to his master. “What can I say? This Alpha Ki
Third Person’s POV“Why the sudden?” The Alpha King asked Penelope after he had received an urgent call that his grandmother wanted to see him.Penelope looked at him and sneered. “You don’t want to see me?”“Don’t rephrase it like that. You’re making it sounds like I am forced here.” The Alpha King calmly answered as he sat on the chair while looking up at his grandmother.Penelope’s face was red, and her nostril was smoking. “You’ve gotten cockier than before huh? Did that bitch teach you?”“Who’s the bitch you’re referring to? Pauline?” He asked, purely out of curiosity but this response had angered Penelope more.“Damn it, Aaron! You think we don’t know that you had found your mate and was meeting behind everyone’s backs?!” Penelope raised her voice while looking at him.Although Aaron had already a rough idea what’s the reason why his grandmother had called him since his grandmother doesn’t usually ask him to see her, but this time is unusual, however upon hearing it in her mouth
Loraine’s PovDespite knowing what their intention towards me why they want to see me, I still pretended like I didn’t know the reason at all.I opened the door, facing the three knights who were sent by the Alpha King’s grandmother. My eyes fell onto the few maids who were pretending to be doing their work, but in fact, I could already see their ears not enlarged as they pretended not to listen to my conversation with the knights.I sighed helplessly and let them be. Anyway, it seemed that the Alpha King’s grandmother had no plans on letting me escape, given the fact that, in her eyes, it was because of my existence that the so-called relationship between the Alpha King and Pauline had grown worse.“Please come with me. There is someone who would like to meet you.” The knight in front of me is two times larger than me, and he had a scar on his eyebrow which made him look even more intimidating.Tell me, with this building of mine, can I escape? Can I say no? Can I resist? Of course,
Loraine’s PovI watched them look at me with disgust and I could tell from the way they were looking at me what kind of things they were thinking about.Especially Pauline and Penelope, who were clearly telling me that I don’t deserve and not fit to be the Alpha King’s mate. No matter what kind of gaze they would look at me, that doesn’t change the fact that I am the Alpha King’s mate.“Come on, let’s start and end this.” Pauline calmly says while looking at the shaman, urging her to do what her task is.The shaman smiled and then before she opened her eyes, she spoke. “Just some pre-cautions that I would like to say before we begin, it’s not that I have always succeeded since the first time I succeeded, the two couples who had broken off their marks had gone mad. One became delirious and became intellectually challenged, while the other one was sick to the point that its body was like a skeleton.”I couldn’t help but shiver at her words. Even grandma’s eyes were shaking, and she coul
Loraine’s PovI gritted my teeth and endured the churning feeling around my stomach. I could still taste the iron in my mouth and despite that my head was throbbing as if it was pulsating, I still managed to push through without looking back.‘Loraine, come back!’ I could hear the cold voice that the Alpha King had commanded, talking to me using a mind-link, but I didn’t care about it nor listen to him.I walked even faster and didn’t look back at him despite the burning sensation throughout my body. Hah, it really seemed that the larger the mark is, the more one would suffer if they rejected their fated partner. Now, it would be I who would suffer from it.But despite that I suffered from it, I don’t regret what I did.When I went back to the maid’s quarter, I could feel the gaze as they gazed at me but the pain that I felt made me not care about it.“Loraine, what happened to you?!” It was none other than Anna who asked as she guided me back to my room after seeing that I was alread
Loraine’s Pov“Is that all that you wanted to say to me?” I asked, while looking at the shaman.The shaman smiled and shook his head. “Child, if you keep on running away from fate, it won’t do you any good. If you are suffering right now from rejecting the bond you have with your mate, trust me, you will feel worse later. It is the same as the moon goddess punishing you for rejecting what she had prepared for you.”I couldn’t help but laugh at her words. So, she was here just to convince me to undo the rejection. But no matter how much I would suffer; I had already rejected him and there is no need for me to take back the words that I uttered right in front of the Alpha King and his loved ones.If I did undo my rejection, if I took back what I had said earlier, how is it different from eating my own words?Prideful? No. I just want to get out of a place that doesn’t serve me.I looked at the shaman and let out a mocking laugh. “You haven’t seen the way that they look at me earlier. Yo
