(NOTE:
It’s a free chapter for my dearest readers as it was too short to post. Love you all!)
Lola’s POV:
Sigh! I was back in the cell and was trying to decide if this time I should seduce the guards or the strong man who usually brought meals for me.
This time I was chained but there was almost no physical abuse. Orion passed the order of my arrest because someone told him that I attempted to kill Alexander.
And why would I do that?
I love him!I kept screaming at the top of my lungs that I was innocent and then…
Then someone told me that Liam heard me talking to the witch.
My own flesh and blood were the ones who spoke against me. When I kept doing all those evil things, nobody could even harm a hair on my body.
But this time when I was really innocent, I was thrown into the dungeons. I didn’t say a word after that. Trust me.
The person who loves you most can give you the worst pain. In my case, it was Liam. Every bad thing I was doing to others was because of him.
I wanted the throne for him, but he thought I could harm him or his sister.
I didn’t try to convince anyone. The guards told me that soon my kids would go back to their father. Or maybe they have already left. Fine. He will take good care of them.
At least Liam would get the beta position.
My kids! I felt like someone pierced a dagger in my heart.
I loved them and I was missing them, and I lost them forever.
Sigh.
When the door to my cell opened, I didn’t bother to look up. I was aware of who she was.
“You malicious bitch!” the queen snarled near my ear, “See what you made me do! I almost killed him with my own hands.”
Her teary voice was like a tickle that made me laugh!
Ha-ha. It was so funny.
I felt her hand holding my hair and giving it a forceful shake.
“I will never forgive you…” That made me laugh even more. I was shaking with mirth. When I raised my face, her face was wet with tears.
“Really? You think I put some spell on you so that you can kill YOR son? Aww. But my queen. You know very well that’s not true.” The smile on my face was replaced by venom and rage…
“You attempted to kill him because you wanted Orion to become the king. You initially welcomed Alexander because you thought it would make you big and an angel figure in the eyes of your people. But it cost you your son.” I smirked, “Alexander is not a fool. He knows this. A mom or a father can never be put under a spell against their kids. There was no spell involved in your actions or Rayna’s father's actions.” I hissed.
Placing my cheek on the hard floor of the cell, I closed my eyes, “I'm not telling anyone that it was you, my queen. Because staying alive and not being able to meet Alexander and his family will be your biggest punishment. You just wait and watch.”
I closed my eyes because all this lecture made me tired. I wanted to sleep.
“This will never happen,” I heard her voice that had a tinge of panic in it, “He will never stay mad at me for this long. He takes me as his mother … and loves me … he will come back to me…” she kept uttering that gibberish shit, but I didn’t give a damn.
I was waiting for death to take over my soul because that was the only way I could feel at peace. I wish her Highness could also do the same.
If her son was mad at her and not talking to her then it was better if she would kill herself. She feared Orion too. No mother can bear the hate of her kids.
Someday if her kids would come to know what she did to Alexander, they would hate her. Ha-ha. She was scared.
Now she was wailing. Sitting close to me in the cell, the queen was crying loudly trying her best to disturb my sleep.
To take my mind off her, I started thinking of Liam and Grace. I could almost imagine them smiling at me and waving at me, “Bye, Mommy!”
“Bye-bye, Liam,” I whispered, “Buy Grace… I love you both…”
(Two years later)“Your Highness. There is a woman who wants to meet you,” I closed the book, I was reading in my library, and looked at the little bundle of joy sleeping peacefully in my arms.I mind linked the governess to come and get the baby and wait for me here. “Keep her here. No need to come out,” I instructed her after kissing the small forehead and went to the guest area. I knew who my visitor was.That was the reason I passed some special instructions to my servants.When I reached there, I found a red-colored, huge, georgette cloth hanging in the middle. The woman was sitting on the other side of the cloth wrapped in a black shawl hiding more than half of her face.The shawl belonged to only one woman.No servants or maids were accompanying her. She was not wearing any fancy gown but a simple cotton skirt with a mismatched blouse.I took my seat on this side and waited for her to speak. I had somewhat guessed that she would come to meet me one day.“Alexander… I… I’m here
Rayna Bennett’s pov:I must have been fourteen when a witch once told me that whoever would be my mate, would worship the ground I would walk on.I guess she was right. Just look at me.I am all dressed up in a white gown, like a bride, waiting for my Luna ceremony that is about to take place just in a few minutes.Within a few minutes, I will be the Luna of this pack. The same pack who abused me, tortured me, and made fun of me. They still can’t seem to believe that an omega…A weak omega, like me, will be ruling them alongside her three mates. Yup.The Moon Goddess assigned me three mates—the popular alpha triplets of my pack.Eric, Derek, and Cedric.In the past, my gorgeous mates used to join the crowd when I used to get tortured by the pack members. But not anymore.Just two weeks back, on my eighteenth birthday, I found that I was mated to not one, not two but three alpha male heirs of my pack. They seemed equally shocked when they found me staring at them in awe. After tha
Rayna’s pov:“Violet?” I whispered and dropped the holy book in panic. Everyone in the room turned back to have a look at her.She seemed distraught. Her eyes were red. Her hair was a tangled mess. Her clothes looked like she didn’t bother to change them or didn’t even attempt to take a shower.“What is it, Violet?” Alpha Magnus who had just taken his seat stood up, all surprised. Violet was a good-looking girl just like her elder sister.“She…she confined me in a room so that … so that the truth won’t come out….” She was shivering profusely and crying.Her tear-stricken red face looked haunted.“What do you mean?” Eric who used to be Violet’s boyfriend before my eighteenth birthday frowned and I had to suppress my smile when I felt his hands pressing my shoulders a little protectively. “Rayna is our mate, Violet,” Derek also came forward, “if you have any feelings for Eric just try to do something about it. None of us can leave our mate.”I batted my lashes quite dramatically when V
Rayna’s pov:“See! I told you all!” Violet let the tears fall from her eyes, “She has no wolf.”Before I could utter another word, I saw Eric rushing to Violet’s side and hugging her tightly, “Oh, Goddess! My love! I am so sorry. You are the mommy of the Alpha heir of this pack.” He mumbled in her hair.Before I could call him out, the other two triplets went to her and squeezed her little frame in between their muscular bodies.What was just happening? Were they congratulating her for being pregnant?“Sh…she is lying…” I said in a weak voice and heard several growls.“One more word for our mate and you will be dead, Rayna.” Derek practically barked in front of all the pack members.“Our mate?”“Yes. Our mate!” Eric detached himself from his mate and turned to look at his parents, “Mom! This Luna ceremony will take place as it was planned. Except we would like to take Violet as our Luna.”Alpha Magnus and Luna Camila seemed happy and relieved with the decision, “You are the future of
Rayna’s POV:I started cutting the grilled chicken breast to complete the Caesar salad. After that, I was supposed to set up the taco bar for the guests.“Can you move it a little faster?” the kitchen head, Nadia asked me in a shrill voice, “Lycan King’s delegation is here and soon they will assemble for the lunch.”All the Omegas were silent after I returned to my duties. After all, they all served me for a good two weeks because I was going to be their Luna.I nodded quietly and started giving a good toss to all the ingredients in the salad bowl. The absence of my wolf didn’t let my head injury heal.Did I tell you that my father was the one who hit me with his iron fist? He was a great father indeed. Huh!Thanks to the painkiller injections that saved the day. Now I was back to the kitchen as a cook who was supposed to serve the pack along with the VIP guests.After the insult Eric had asked the guards to throw me in the dungeons, but his parents opposed it strongly. They didn’t wa
Alexander Ironheart- The Alpha King I was listening to the boring speech by the former Alpha of the Black Stone pack, Alpha Magnus. He was still the same dimwitted man I had left five years back.I am Alexander Ironheart. The Lycan King.Five years back I came to this pack for a training session and found my mate here. She spent some time with me and then decided to reject me.Lola always wanted a powerful mate by her side, so she chose the beta of this pack who was a widow and had a thirteen-year-old daughter. I could never tell her that I was not a mere warrior but a crown prince.I wasn’t allowed to give away my true identity until and unless I had a Luna by my side. It was way easier to get a mate when you are an Alpha King. But I wanted someone who could accept me as a commoner.“Lexi! The Alpha is waiting for your signature on the contract.” I straightened when I got my beta’s mind link. Right now, they all were treating me as a Royal advisor, Lexi.I tried to suppress my Lyc
Rayna Bennett.I was looking into those hazel eyes which had turned gentle for a moment when they were looking at me.The room was gripped in shocked stillness. Someone walked closer and I found Derek looking at me with so much hate, “I … I don’t think… you can take a chosen mate… just like that, Mr. Lexi.”Yes! I was expecting this from my pack Alphas, yet I was also sure the Lycans would try to keep their word. Once they have made the decision then it could only be changed by no one else but Alpha King himself.“Why not?” The strikingly handsome Lycan whose name was Lexi asked Derek, but his eyes were still locked with mine, “No one can make me take back my decision unless this she-wolf asks me to do so.” I was still in shock and felt like I was dreaming. “Please come with me,” I felt a hand on my elbow and turned to find the Royal beta tilting his head towards the door, “let’s get you out of here, lady.”Lady?Wow! That was quick. First, I was called a slave! Omega! A filth!And
I tried to struggle free of his grip and felt his teeth, piercing my skin. I felt helpless. He was an Alpha male. Much stronger than me. No! I couldn’t let that happen. “I said… leave me!” Using all my strength, I pushed him off me with full force. I did succeed this time, but my heart sank when I saw blood droplets on his lips. Did he just… I touched the skin to relieve some of the burning sensation, “Did you… did you just mark me? You have already got a Luna by your side, as*shole!” There was an evil glint in his eyes, “Yes. Violet will always be my Luna. She is the mom of my child. While you?” He paused, wiped the blood off his mouth, and licked his finger, “You will always be a slave. My side chick! If you think I’ll let you go with that bloody Lycan warrior, then you are mistaken. I have got confirmed news. The Lycan who claimed you, is not even an advisor. The one in power is Beta Brian.” With that, Eric turned on his heels to leave the room and twisted the handle. “This i
