Riona POV I moaned feeling the comfort of this soft nest. My hands held the edge of this fluffy thing where my head rested as I moved it to the side. A satisfying smile escaped my lips while my dark vision wandered somewhere. The cold wind brought my soul to a familiar broken gate I thought I would never see again. Then I saw a posture of a man I abhorred at first sight. And a lordly command I would never want to hear at all. A realization came to my senses. Was this a nightmare? I humbly asked for someone to shake my shoulders or slap my face or any solution that could wake me up. If journeying to the past was exciting then I didn't want any part of it. "I have an announcement from our Alpha King!" A command that was equivalent to a clap of thunder, my mother's cold shaking hand squeezed mine tight. My father stood beside Erro as my head kept lifting I was curious to know what that announcement was. As they began their steps, our neighbors started trembling. The men's long blac
Riona POV "No! Let go of me. I'm not the cho~" My scream was cut off when I heard a loud thud. I thought someone just fell on the floor or that someone was me. My feet got knotted with the white duvet that covered my body. As I abruptly got up, bewildered while sitting in a side-saddle position, my hands held the edge of the white mattress, wandering eyes meandered the wide room. Beads of sweat soaked my forehead. I heaved a sigh of relief when I thought I was just having a nightmare. But where was I this time? "This isn't the room a while ago!" I whispered talking to Friya, my wolf that suddenly roared inside me. I knelt, my palms pressing the covers. My legs hurt when I tried to get up and a soft groan fled my mouth. I clutched the neckline of my new outfit I failed to notice at first. My fingers ran through its soft fabric as I slightly twirled. A simple adulation from a young lady as my awestruck eyes scanned its design. White cotton sleeveless nightgown with tiny sunflower ruf
Matthew POV Six o'clock! I sped off to the forest located just behind my property. My Uncle Baron bought this empty lot when we were thrown into this world for my easier access. I was running out of time, I could feel my back was going to split in a half and Argo would come out in seconds. My hands slapped the giant leaves of tropical plants, my feet flashed defying the protruding roots on the ground. I groaned as I dashed off, the boisterous gasping of my breath was occupying the whole darkness. My blue wolf eyes were like headlights scaring some of the nocturnal beasts. "Aargghhh!" I halted as my knees met the wet ground, my hands had gotten numbed, my fingers were tightened, I lifted my head welcoming the coming gaze of the moonlight. My fingers which were slowly turning to fists grabbed my training pants trying to pull them off as if they were burning my skin. Kneeling naked while gazing at the moon I let her witness the excruciating pain of shifting as it wracked through my bo
Victor POV PAK! A tight slap broke in the air as the back of my mother's bodyguard's hand collided with the middle-aged woman's face. The high priest told me that the lady who was going to bear my seed looked like this woman. I couldn't help but feel the urge to punish him. However, Queen Luna's roar brought me back to reality. A reality that I was an Alpha King living under my mother's and the elder council's command, including the beta. I was called the ruthless, abusive, horrible Alpha King in the kingdom but hidden to my pack, I was a spineless wolf carrying the title King with no power. "Where is your daughter?" my mother's loud roar broke the raucous silence in the dungeon where this woman was tied in shackles, both hands were raised apart and her feet in almost splitting position making the muscles of her limbs quiver in both extreme pain and exhaustion. "I don't know!" the woman whimpered. Her aura voiced suffering but I had never seen her shed tears since they were brought
Matthew POV I rubbed my eyes as I reviewed the documents one more time. I called Nick, my assistant in my company, the Prince Monarch, to bring the unsigned contract for our coming project. My business was all about building hotels, department stores, and amusement parks. I also ventured into a new enterprise last year and it skyrocketed in a swift time. That's my Prince Monarch Airlines. I took my phone to the mahogany table and called his number. With my tired eyes and drained voice, I spoke to him as I kept rubbing my temples with my fingers, "Nick! Get the documents back to my mansion and revise the corrections I made!" "Yes, President. I'm going there now!" with a discreet sigh that my senses heard, Nick responded. He had to drive for an hour back and forth just to get these pieces of junk. I intended to work at home today for two reasons. First, my head was still exploding in pain, and second, I had to see my Uncle Baron in the basement later in the day. I hope he's doing well
Riona POV Whew! After finishing my tasks for the afternoon, finally, I could take some rest. Before I planned to go back to my room, I checked everything first, I must have missed something. My feet sauntered to the kitchen to see if the dishes were done. "Doing the dishes, done!" I mumbled while my fingers touched every plate and bowl elegantly arranged in rows. My eyes scanned the whole kitchen from left to right as my head went up and down approving my statement. As I continued, my senses were giving me hints to turn left, the aisle was a bit narrow and there were single lamps mounted on the wall. I leaned my head sideward and peeped through the dim path. It was in the middle of the afternoon but in that area, it looked like the sun already rested. "Friya, what's in this way?" I asked my wolf who had been sluggish since this morning. Was it feeling comfortable staying in a big house? I couldn't imagine! As my legs tiptoed forward, my heart began to throb. I could compare myself to
Riona POV ..While changing the covers of our Master's bed, my mind was flying back to the scene I saw yesterday. I couldn't help but ask what happened to the woman. What's her name? Where's she now? Why didn't she come back? A series of questions were shooting like arrows in the air muddling my brain. Was this their way of living here in the human world? I couldn't get it. My parents were a loving couple and they had been together for more than two decades now. But him? Was the woman his “mate”? I was annoyed by my own question. "Mate! What nonsense are you talking about?" I scolded myself. I opened the closet where the pillow covers were folded and took out two big light pink ones, a color I loved since I was a kid. I also saw a duvet that seemed to be a set with a cover and a bedspread. "Perfect!" my lips let out a radiant smile as I fixed the bed. Then I glanced at the drapes Sonia told me to change. I cringed at the dark shade that covered the bright hue coming from the sun. M
Riona POV .. I spread my arms feeling the comfort of this soft bed while the corner of my lips curled up. I moaned as my eyes opened and saw a familiar chandelier that once gazed at my sight. My back suddenly felt the heat that I briskly got up. "Oh shoot!" I hit my forehead punishing myself for being so comfy in this world. Although it's ironic, I was treated like a princess in our simple home but was forced to work in the field. Here I was branded as a slave but acting more like a queen. My eyes shot glances at the drapes I was about to hang before I fell but were already waving like water by the gust of the wind coming from the open window. "Who did that?" my lips uttered as my gaze narrowed but also went wide when the chime of the grandfather clock mounted on the wall struck 6. "Goodness! I slept that much!" my feet rummaged my slippers on the carpeted floor while my mind was picturing what to prepare for dinner or perhaps a snack?! I knew my master was going to kill me for a h
