Masha couldn't believe her ears. Czar was really making out with someone when they just arrived? Was he for real?
Something in her guts told her it was with Sephora. Yes, the voice definitely sounded like hers. Well, what was she even expecting? Czar had been having sex with Sephora long before the collaboration. So, why was she expecting him to stop?
She wouldn't deny feeling a little hurt that she had to share her 'husband' with someone else.
Confused at that point, she walked away. Of course, she couldn't go into the room and interrupt them; it was only best for her to leave - even tho she didn't exactly know where to go.
With feeble steps, she walked away, her chest feeling so heavy. As she traipsed down the staircases,she kept thinking of how unfortunate her life had been in the past few days. She couldn't believe she was a stranger in a pack full of wolves and her supposed husband w
Everyone present in the hall wanted so bad to believe their sight was failing them. It couldn't be possible! How was the Almighty Jaha in front of them when he should be asleep in the mountain prison? To their best of their knowledge, he had been there for eight years and was meant to be there for ever. So, how was it possible he was in front of them? Or, could he be an imposter?Lord Marcus got to his feet immediately, his gaze solely fixed on the unwanted man at the entrance. Even for a vamplord as experienced as he was, he still felt his throat run dry at the sight of him. He wanted it to be a dream; a nightmare.With everyone still and muddled, Jaha took a step from the door. Then, another step, and another, until he was fully walking into the door.There were guards around, but even them shivered at the sight of him, they couldn't imagine trying to stop him.From the older people tha
NEXT MORNING*********MOON HOWLERS PACKMasha woke up very early to go join Lyall in the kitchen as agreed. The chief cook was surprised when she saw how early the Lady arrived. Although, they had agreed on it, but she thought the Lady had only bluffing and wouldn't make good of her words. Surprisingly, she did. The rest of the servants were surprised seeing the vampire in the kitchen. 'shouldn't she be getting the princess' treatment?' they pondered to themselves. But Masha didn't care about the awkward stares they threw at her as her greatest joy was cooking in the kitchen. She had a suggested a new meal to Lyall for breakfast, and although, Lyall wasn't completely comfortable with it, Masha had promised her she would love it. As she worked on the vegetables, she recounted how her night had been. After meeting with the naked wolf, she had returned to the room and luckily couldn't find Czar in. Tired, she changed her dress and grabbed some sleep. And by the time she was awake tha
"My Lord...!" The old man went on his knees immediately, then bowed his head. "May you live forever".Jaha smirked at the beautiful sight. He loved praises. "When I heard you were back, it was the most wonderful news I had heard my whole life. I came as soon as I could. Ah! It is more than wonderful to have you back. Rabid Shadow has never been the same since you left. I hope Rufus is still worthy to be in your sight, My Lord", he acclaimed. Jaha looked up and sighed."Rise, Rufus", he said.And without hesitation, the old man got to his feet. Jaha noticed he still had his old bag with him - as always. "My Lord, how have you been? When you got imprisoned, I...""Save it. I know you'd have done your best for me", Jaha cut him off and returned to the balcony. He followed."What do you think, Rufus?" He asked, gazing into space. "What are the rumours you hear about me?""Uh...well", the man chortled. "Just few of them are still scared and intend running away, but majority are happy
Masha managed to dress herself up and found her way to the dining room. There, she noticed she was almost the last to arrive. The king, the Queen, Arabella and Sephora were already present. And oh, even the nàked guy from the previous night. He was there as well. Masha guessed he was not lying when he said he was Czar's cousin.She lowered her gaze as she walked in."Greetings, my king. Greetings, my queen", she bowed with a sense of chivalry."Greetings, Masha. You should take a seat", the king gestured to an empty seat beside Arabella and gladly, Masha took it, ignoring the fact that the queen did not respond to her."Hello, Masha", Arabella dimpled at her.Goodness! She looked so beautiful as she smiled - Masha thought.."Hi", she beamed back at her.Her eyes caught Torak also smiling at her.&
Lyall was sincerely scared. She didn't want to implicate the poor lady, but unfortunately, she had no choice.She retained a bowed head and couldn't spare a glance at the prince to see his reaction. Perhaps, his face had gotten swollen with rage already. But Mace had the opportunity to look, and the expression on the prince's face was... unreadable."Are you... sure about this?" Czar asked. His voice was still as calm and cold."Y...Yes, my prince. I would never lie to you".Then, a few seconds passed."You can rise, Lyall. Go back to the kitchen and get me a plate of it", he ordered, making Lyall think she was losing her senses.Did she just hear him correctly? To go back and get him a plate? What was going on?Amidst her confusion, she knew she couldn't keep him waiting. Hence, she stood up, bowed and left.
The rest of the day was extremely boring for Masha as she had nothing else to do. If it had been back at her father's court, she'd have been with Terra, taking a stroll or playing some games. Or, she'd have been with Amber , helping out in the kitchen. There was never a day she felt bored.She had gotten tired of sleeping alone in the room and decided it'd be best if she read some books. Czar had not even stepped into the room the whole time which made her wonder if he was ignoring her on purpose, or just sincerely busy.It was almost evening, and the weather was super cool. Her walk to the library was going to be a needed one.However, while she headed out of the palace, Torak joined her."Hey", he beamed as he walked beside her.Masha cringed for a mini-second. At least, he was clothed this time around and not naked like the first time they met.&nb
"It's a good thing you are here, Czar. We have a problem", the king said.Czar's curiousity quelled. What other problem could there be? He said nothing, but his perplexed eyes indicated he was interested."It's the witch - Hagar. She's withdrawing all her support to us".Czar's expression did not change. It made the king wonder if he had been expecting the news."I knew this was going to happen", the queen blabbed. "I knew Hagar was going to do this the minute she hears of Czar's marriage. I tried to tell you...""Enough, Eve! This is no time for accusations. I did what was best for the pack", The king cut her off, angrily.It made the queen roll her eyes and look away."What do you think, Czar?" The king turned to the prince. "This is not good. We cannot afford to lose the witches' support; it would make us too vulnerable to the en
Masha drew a deep breath as she leaned back on her chair."If you truly do not want my kind here, maybe you should tell the Alpha King about it. Although, a lot of high people had tried talking him out of it, so i doubt he'd listen to someone lower. You know, I am his son's wife".The lady's eyes glinted, and whispers started going round in the room."She is the vampire that is married to the Alpha prince?""No wonder she was with Arabella"."It's her..."The whispers kept going round, and in the end, every single person in the room was aware of the situation."Being married to the Alpha prince does not make you anyone. Last I heard, he was actually forced into marrying you", the lady bent over to Masha and said."And I believe that should make you jealous. I mean", Masha paused and scoffed. "I
