CHAPTER 57Jake made his way to his father's room and gave the door a knock which his father replied to."Come in!" His father said and he pulled the door open. He walked in nervously rubbing his hands together. He knew that his dad would never be in support of what he was about to say but he had to at least give it a try."What do you want to say to this old man now?" his dad asked, sitting on the bed and looking at him."Umm… father, I have something important to tell you," Jake mumbled, scuffing his head and heaving a heavy breath. He knew what he was about to say could be the death of him but he had no choice.Alpha Dan furrowed his eyebrows at him, "Can you straight to the point?""I don't want to make Diva my mate," Jake proclaimed, "I don't want her.""It's not a choice, Jake. It's an order that you mate with her," Alpha Dan told him."I can't make her my mate, I can't," he uttered. "That's if you are going to be the next Alpha of this pack! She's fit to be the Luna of this pa
Chapter 58News soon spread like wildfire and it reached Sarah. She was passing by the hall when she heard maids like her chatting that Jake and Diva were soon to be mated and the preparation was going on. Upon hearing them, she gasped for air and told herself it wasn't true. She told herself not to believe that Jake and Diva were mating soon but she couldn't deny it. Jake had told her that he can't be with her yet, he slept with her and now he would mate with Diva? Her heartbeat raced and she felt it tearing into lumps. She placed her hands on her chest and held the wall for support. "It can't be true," she kept telling herself. Jake can't leave her behind after she had thought he would eventually fall for her. Was she wrong all this while or has she been thinking of things that she shouldn't have thought of? She groaned and tried to carry her wobbled legs but she couldn't. She stood, holding onto her arching hearts and tears began to drop from her eyes. Why was she so ignorant? W
Chapter 59"Who are you to make a decision? You won't be my maid again? Sure, you must be joking because I'm the only person who can deny you of your choice," Jake taunted and stood up from where he sat. "I will mate with Diva and you'll be my maid…" he paused as soon as he got to her and used his hands to push her hair behind the back of your hair. "And you keep doing what I want," Jake whispered to her while she gazed at him with disgust. Jake kept caressing her hair as they both stared into each other's eyes. "You will also lower your head whenever I'm talking to you or I'll pluck those eyes of yours," he instructed and Sarah quickly bent her head low. Not like she felt defeated but because she knew he wouldn't be someone who might want to protect her again. Jake smiled at her obedience and moved away from her. He moved to his closet and searched through it looking for what to put on. When he found the robe he wanted to wear, he brought it out and wore it with Sarah's orifices st
Chapter 60Finally, the day of the mating came and every preparation had been made. Elders and associates with some other important people were already present in the hall waiting for the mates. Jake stood in front of the mirror gazing at himself. He was looking all handsome as always but the celebration was what he never wanted. He scoffed. If it hadn't been for his father then everything would have been distinguished. Just then, a knock came on Jake's door and Sarah who was helping him out rushed to open up the door. Pulling the door lobe, her gape met with Rhonda, Diva's maid who was carrying a pad with some golden bangles placed on it. She and Rhonda both eyed each other before Rhonda pushed her out the door for her to get in. Sarah became furious as her eyes followed Rhonda inside the room. She wished she could get a hold of her and warn her never to act that way to her but she kept her cool since they were not alone. She knew Jake might want to take his mistress' maid's side.
Chapter 61Jake veered his face to Diva, his eyes switching from his normal eyes colour to the colour of his wolf eyes. Diva bent her head to avoid his gaze and she was left to whimper as the priest came to release the white piece of cloth that had bonded their hands together.Jake didn't wait for the fabric to be fully removed when he jerked his hands away and ran down the altar to join the fight. Within a seconds, he had shifted into his wolf and he roared violently shooting the dead of the day. Almost all the shifters joined in the dispute including pups that were strong enough to face the battle. The fight went on and on and since the rogues had come into their territory, they were not up to the pack's standard. Even when they were caught unexpectedly, Eclipse pack made sure they made brutal damage to the unknown rogues. It was surprising and fascinating to see that rogues had come to terrorize their pack when they knew that fighting a great pack would lead them to their death.
Chapter 62Immediately after the fight, Jake hurried his way to the dungeon. He was grateful that they had caught one of the rogues even when he hadn't told his father he did. He needed to see the rogue and question him because he knew if his father found out he got a rogue, he would take on huge labour to deal with the rogue to let him talk. When the guards in the dungeon saw him coming, they opened the dungeon gate to let him in. He requested their leader and he was called out. "Where did you put the rogue?" Jake requested.The leader bowed to him and replied, "He's caged in the torture room.""Take me to him," Jake commanded."It can't happen, my prince. The rogue is dangerous and could go wild, he could harm you," the leader said, his head still bowed.Jake scoffed and took some threatening steps towards the leader giving him a fierce look, "I don't think you understand what I meant. I said take me there!" He snarled, making the leader go on his knees."I can let anything happen
Chapter 63A cute smile curved on his lips as he made his way back into his chamber. Did his father just compliment him? It was rare for him to receive an honour from his father and he was glad he did. He grinned from ear to ear making everyone wonder why he looked so elated. He also didn't mind since he didn't even notice he was smiling too hard for people to see. He got to his room and pulled it open. He entered and the first thing that welcomed him was a bow. He tilted his head to see who it was and Sarah raised her head to him. He scoffed and shook his head. So it was her. He said nothing and closed the door while she moved away for him to pass through. He went into the bathroom and when he came out, he met Sarah sitting in front of a medical box that he had kept in his head. She beckoned him to take his seat and he did, not ready to start an argument. Sarah then began to pull out his dress to check out wherever he had wounded. "My wolf is weak from the fight so he couldn't he
Chapter 64"Mother, where are you?" Diva called as soon as she entered her mother's chamber. She moved from inside as she passed through her bed to her kitchen. "Mother, are you in?" She demanded again.The door to her mother's bathroom was opened and she turned to see her mother coming out. She rushed to where she was and leapt on her with Felicia accepting the hug. "Mother, we couldn't complete the mating rite, Jake left me to fight," she informed me. Felicia nodded her head, "I saw you but I couldn't stop him because I was standing as far from you here.""I hate Jake. He did it on purpose, he cut off our ties!" Diva growled while Felicia tried to pet her. "I'll meet with the King and I'll let him know that you two must continue with your rite, okay?" Felicia assured. Diva nodded, "Mom you have to go now unless Jake might convince the King and I will die if Jake doesn't mate with me," she protested. "You won't die because of that nuisance, stop pouting nonsense. I'll go to the
