"And you have no right to stop me from taking my bride," Styx retorted. This woman was truly getting on his nerves and there was something about her that he found extremely strange. There were so many strange things about her, a kind of strange aura exuding from her.Penelope was fuming with anger and she was doing everything in her power not to explode. She was doing a good job holding her anger cause if she did..."You have overstayed your stay here, King Styx," she smiled, a faux smile. Her hand was itching to do something but to stop herself, she fisted her knuckles, biting her lips."Oh really?" Styx smiled, turning his head slightly towards Theo who hasn't said a single word ever since they arrived here. Frustrated, he mind linked with Theo, glaring at him.'You won't interfere!''Why should I?!''Theo?!''You are the Alpha and she would be your Luna, so fight for her!' Theo smiled, breaking the mind link and removed his eyes from Styx. He wouldn't lie, he was enjoying every bit
It took longer than expected but they finally reached the palace. The doorman pulled open the carriage door and Styx alighted first.He stood beside the carriage, stretching out his right hand towards Ama. Ama placed her hand on his, bowed her head a little and alighted from the carriage.Not releasing her hand, Styx tightened his grip on her hand. This little gesture made Ama smile and she felt a kind of...relief.Styx smiled at her, holding her hand as they walked inside the castle. Ama's new home, a place she would be staying with Styx for as long as she lived."Welcome back, King Styx and Queen Ama," the maids greeted, with a deep bow."Queen?" Ama asked, confused. Since when did she become the queen or could it be that they were mistaken.Styx chose not to reply her and smiled instead. He tightened his grip on her. They walked through series of passages and they finally reached what looked like a church.Ama's brows furrowed in confusion, looking at the unfamiliar faces in the ro
"Yes, he was engaged to Lady Sophia," Madeline said. "But he chose you instead and he never liked Lady Sophia. He had no choice but to get married to her as the elders requested. She was his half sister and they felt she would be the perfect queen and Luna," Madeline explained to clear Ama's doubt. The last thing she wanted was to make Ama feel inferior. She had never wanted her brother to get married to Sophia. Not because she doesn't like her but because deep down she felt like Sophia was only getting married to her brother so that she could be Luna and nothing else."He was to marry his half-sister?" Ama asked, confused. For a moment, she thought she heard wrong."It's not new among members of our Pack. As long as they are not of the same mother then they could get married," said Madeline. She never felt good about that kind of marriage, she found it uncomfortably and indecent. If it was up to her, she would have loved to get rid of something like that but with the elders around, s
"What else other than to stone her to death!""That's too cruel?!" Ama whispered, her brows furrowed in confusion. Why would she be stoned to death just because she's a witch?! Why are witches treated so unfairly than the other creatures?!"She deserves that for being a witch," the red haired woman hissed. For a second, Ama wanted to turn around and leave but then... The 'witch' raised her head, meeting her eyes. She stared right into her eyes as if she was asking Ama to help her.Ama took a step forward followed by another. She reached where the witch was tied, squatted down in front of her and slowly untied the rope that was tied to her body."What are you doing?!""Leave there right now, woman " A man with a petite figure charged at Ama ready to pounce on her.Ana turned around, removing her cloak, with a sinister smile on her face; "Are you certain you want to do that?""Your...My queen!" He yelled and soon enough, everyone present fell to their knees, with their heads bowed.At
"Are you telling me now that my queen is planning with the witches to have me killed?!" Styx yelled, his eyes burning with fury. Deep down, he knows the elders didn't really care about Ama saving the witch but Instead, they were trying to use it as an excuse to bring her down and depose her as the queen. "King..." Leo tried to explain but he was immediately cut off by Styx. He should have known that there was nothing they could do to get Ama off the throne."If you have nothing else to say then you can leave the palace now.""But...""It's an order not a request...Leo"~~~~~~~Ama walked into Carina's room to check up on her. Deep down, she felt satisfied and happy that the man she loves, trusts and believes in her. "What are you doing?" Ama asked, sighting Carina on the balcony. She looked dejected and she was holding on to the railings as if she was thinking of jumping. "Don't tell me you are planning to run away?" Ama jokes, standing beside Carina and looking down the balcony.
Ama sat down in her room, all alone. Her eyes were void and there was no single emotion in them. Her mind was in chaos and she wasn't thinking straight. She was lost and she was losing it.'Styx is in trouble, Ama,' those words repeated in her head, over and over again. 'What should she do?' She kept asking herself but she couldn't find an answer. She had no idea, she was weak and she held no power. She was just a mere woman, a woman who could only satisfy him in bed and nothing else."I was hoping you would have come to your senses and leave already," said Sophia, barging into Ama's room. Ama was certain she had locked her door but it seems that wasn't enough to stop Sophia. "It's your fault he's in that position!" Sophia yelled, pulling her up and pushing her to the ground.Ama winced in pain, trying hard to fight her emotions. For the first time, she was too weak to refute Sophia cause she... she was right.Sophia squatted in front of Ama, staring right into her eyes. "I told yo
Days passed and Ama was still caught up in her guilt. She tried her best not to make Styx notice her sudden change and she was doing a good job at that. She made sure to ignore Sophia's questioning gaze and tried to act like she used to. She made sure to hide her guilt deep in her heart, that was the only way she could forget about everything and that was the only way she could stop herself from losing her mind. And that was the only way she could think of to stop herself from doing the unthinkable...kill herself.She walked through the corridor, used to the silent surrounding her. She stopped walking, noticing the painting that was placed on the wall. Curious, she walked towards the painting, staring at it.It was a painting of her and Styx. A painting he had ordered to be taken a few days after their marriage. She stretched out her hand towards the painting, caressing it. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and once again what happened in the forest flashed through her mind. Fear o
Few days passed but to Ama it still felt like yesterday. She felt like she was going to lose him but then...he held her hand at her weakest point and promised to stay by her side and he was doing just that. He didn't only accept her despite her flaws but he also accepted her illegitimate child.She walked through the garden, enjoying the breeze. She was all alone in the palace, Carina had gone for some work she had no idea off, Madeline went to a soiree and Styx had gone for a meeting while as for Sophia, she had no idea where she had disappeared too and she was too lazy to care."I'm sorry but I can't allow you to go in," a guard said, drawing Ama's attention.Curious, she walked towards the palace gate to see who he was speaking with."But I need to see her...""Lyla!" Ama called."Ama!" Lyla yelled, running past the guard. She pulled her sister into a hug, tightly hugging her. Her eyes were welled up with tears and it felt like she was close to breaking down."Lyla..." Ama whimpere
