After almost 30 minutes, I was done bathing and as dressing up. While standing in front of the mirror as I combed my gold wavy hair downwards, I couldn't deny the fact that I was extremely cute. I mean, too hot and handsome, that it was frustrating to me.
I mean, all this is useless and does nothing more than make girls act crazy around me and drooling over me. I had to walk around with body guards to avoid any of them from coming close to me. I got this almond-shaped sea rover-blue eyes and bristly eyebrows with hawkish nose and defined cheekbones with a concrete jaw giving me a perfect handsome face.I hissed and flung the comb away and that revealed my muscular arms and Titan’s shoulders through the short sleeve shirt I was putting on. Not even my broad chest and six packs could be hidden by the red shirt.Everyone kept telling me how flawless I was from head to toe with their cheesy smiles and eyes full of admiration. If only they knew how much I wish not to hear all that.Gosh! I don't need all those compliments at all from anyone.With a hopeless shrug, I walked out of the room, shutting the door angrily as if it was the cause of my entire problem.My hands were both dipped inside my black trousers pockets while I took a step at a time, keeping a straight face. Smiling was like the most stupid thing to do. Why should I ever smile when there is nothing to smile about in my life?The maids cleaning the hallways all paused for a moment to focus on me as I walked past them. I had to keep my eyes away from their faces to avoid seeing what might make me fire them all.Finally, after walking reluctantly like a snail, I got to the palace, located at the last floor of the Royal mansion. The door was opened for me by one of the guards, and just as expected, my father had a visitor.I knew they were really discussing something serious as I could sense how tense the environment was. It was like there was a looming danger that needed to be erased immediately. Their faces were far from smiling, but my presence changed it all.They all turned to me and were grinning and staring in same admiration as always."Wow..." "Is he a human being?""What a very cute son you have got.""I can't believe someone can be this perfect."Those were their compliments, coming from every corners, Including my parents who had been seeing all the days of their lives. I don't get why they join the visitors in spilling those praises.The frown I got in my face deepened more with a deep growl rumbling inside my chest as my eyes sighted the only young girl who was sitting right there beside the so-called visitor, waving and smiling cheesily at me.She was absolutely the reason I was being forced by my father to come here. I rested my gaze on her make-up-face for some minutes, as my heart boiled in anger. She has an oval face, heart-shaped lips, a pointed nose, and dimples with her blonde hair permed and flowing freely down to her back, but I can't still see any reason to like her.Her golden gown clung around her body and stopped over her laps looking sophisticated and expensive. Even her cleavage and nipples were quite visible due to the top part of the gown being transparent. She must have taken all day to primp and prepare herself to meet me, but yet, nothing about her appeared attractive to me. Why can't my parents surprise me one day by not allowing all these girls who accompany every visitor that comes to see him? They seemed to still have high hopes for me. Why the hell should he ever think I still have a heart to love? That soft heart is long gone.The girl's lust-filled eyes were all over me now, shimmering with emotions. She was even blinking her eyes in what seemed like seductively, maybe for her, and that couldn't just stop pissing me off, especially when she began to primp and blush. Maybe because my stare had lingered on her, she then had a bit of hope in herself.Yuck!I rolled my eyes and kept a straight face forward, regretting why I had looked at her in the first place. I stepped forward and bowed to my father, who was smiling like he had won some lottery. My mother wasn't exceptional; she was also giving me one crazy wink that I can't just comprehend. Ignoring them all, I sat in my position beside my father, making sure I didn't repeat the same mistake of looking at the new girl my parents had allowed in alongside the visitor who looked like an alpha with his attire and aura. Although he kept forcing a smile, I could see it was all fake and there was something really eating him deep. He looked so cranky, puffing and huffing silently as his red eyes roamed around hopelessly.My eyes rested on him for some seconds, and I can't tell how, but I instantly hated him. When his eyes caught my stare, he smiled, but that smile irritated me so much that I snorted at him instead of returning the smile. I could see how surprised he was. "Finally, my stubborn but extremely cute son is here. We are sorry for keeping you all waiting, but I really want him to be here to see how things are done in the palace, to prepare him for the future as my successor," my father began with a smile, drawing all their attentions back to me.I hissed and looked away."Before we proceed, let me ask him a little question," my mother chipped in, and that brought my gaze to her as she left her chair to walk over to the other side, where I sat.She drew her mouth to my ear, maintaining a constant smile. I don't know what brought all this smile of happiness. What is here to be happy about?"Why are you smiling?" I asked my question, but she ignored it and whispered the most irritating sentence into my ears."Do you like that girl with the visitor in any way? I noticed how you stared at her more than usual." I cringed and backed off my ears from her mouth as a wave of disgust rushed down my spine."Like who?" I whispered back, gritting my teeth and hoping she wasn't talking about the girl beside the visitor. Could it be that those smiles all this time were because I stared at the girl longer?"That girl there is a Beta daughter. Her name is Nana. She...""I am done listening to you! I hate the girl." I snapped, pulling my ears far away, and that made her sigh before walking back to her chair in disappointment, which was what I badly wanted. Dad knew what was going on, and that made him glare at me while I eyed him back. "Let's continue with our conversation. But before then, introduce yourself and the girl to my son, as he barely walks out of this kingdom, so he doesn't know any Alpha or the names of our neighbouring packs " my father breathed, rolling his eyes at me again, which I returned with a snort."The introduction of the girl isn't necessary. Not like I will need it in my life.." I frowned and could see how the girl's cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. Her eyes were already getting wet with tears as she gazed at me shockingly."Don't mind my son, do as I say." Dad ordered with those angry tones that made others flinch in fear, except me."My name is Sean Dark, the Alpha of Crescent moon Pack, and here is the beautiful Beta's daughter who came with me. Others are mere royal guards, " he introduced with a cheesy smile directed at me."You can sit and finish up whatever brought you here. You are an Alpha with no Luna or a daughter, coming here with the Beta's daughter. Maybe she's the most beautiful in your pack right? Yuck! I don't see any beauty here. What about your daughter? She is too ugly like you, or you don't have a daughter?" I sneered, but dad wouldn't let him answer any of that as he ordered him to sit and ignore my questions.Not like I care. "So you need the silver and wolfsbane mixture to find out her true identity, which is likely to be that she is a demon, right?" They began talking about whatever it was they were talking about, while I was looking elsewhere, knowing fully well that the so-called Beta's daughter was peering at me."I regret the fact that she is my only offspring. I could have known she was evil when she killed her mother at childbirth with very painful labour," The Alpha lamented bitterly, and my ears were itching already. I badly want it all to end, so I will leave here."What is her name again?" My father asked gently."Ava," he replied, and my body felt strange sensations rush through me. The name made me shudder a bit with goosebumps spreading through my skin for a reason I don't understand."Ava is the name of your daughter?" I suddenly asked him, even before I could realize, and this made them all turn their gazes sharply at me in surprise."You are suddenly interested in the conversation now? You care about his daughter's name?" My father inquired with raised brows, staring at me straight into my eyes."No. I don't care. " I snapped and flung my face away, but this time, my ears were sharpened to the discussion. I don't know why, but I am suddenly interested in the girl, Ava.Ava's POV I opened my eyes slowly but shut them back as a whimper escaped my lips. Immense pain was all I felt spreading around my left arm region, but that wasn't why my heart was broken. I can't believe once again I escaped death and just woke up from my unconsciousness. My prayers to die weren't answered again. My eyes ached as burning tears seared deep inside my eye sockets while my lips quivered as I sobbed in sadness. "What type of life is this?" I mumbled to myself. My heart seemed to be on fire from the sharp pangs I was feeling. It was a horror to see my father attack me with a knife. He didn't just threaten me with it, but had also struck me with the knife. Not only that, he ignored me even when I was bleeding and still went ahead to ask for his bracelet. I was dying from loss of blood, but the beast of a father didn't care even the smallest bit. At the end, the bracelet was found in his room. I was blamed and injured for something I have no idea about. "Oh, God, why
Ava's POV "What true identity are you talking about?" I asked in terror, panting as I began to understand what was about to befall me. Everything was becoming clear in my head, and now I can't help the quaking fear building up in me. "Are you a demon spy?" He asked calmly again. My body was so weak and exhausted as I hadn't eaten and also lost a lot of blood from the wound my father gave me and now I can't imagine going through the torture of silver and wolfsbane. What kind of scroll did Aurora find and how could it term me as a demon spy? Why the hell is my life this miserable? "If you don't believe me, then it's fine. Just get out of here and allow me to face my fate alone. Allow me to suffer and die since that's what everyone in this pack wants! If I am a demon, I won't let myself be inflicted with all these pains and tortures. I would have used my powers to kill all my oppressors. " I paused as my heart was now thumping so fast, causing my breath to hitch. My whole body was s
Finally, I entered the sitting room of the Royal Pack, and everywhere was dead silent, with dead bodies scattered around, cold and stiff with blue eyes open. I screamed in fear as the dead bodies seemed to be haunting. It forced me to shut my eyes, looking away. Once again, that hoarse, sarcastic laugh began. This time it was more intense and came from the royal palace, where my father could be. "No! No! No! This is not real!" I whimpered, sprinting erratically to the palace, as I prayed for wake. It should be a nightmare, but the more I ran forward to the palace with the laughter increasing in my head, the more I felt the sensation all over me. Everything appeared too real to be a dream. "Here she comes!!" That was what I heard just as I kicked open the door of the palace. "Ava!!" I heard that same feminine voice that had called me out in fear at the beginning. It was calling me again, but the difference was that I was seeing her right in front of me. A woman clad in a white roy
Ava's POV I found myself bursting into a loud cry, and the moment my mouth opened a bit, the fluid found its way in, and that instantly set my belly on fire. It was so extreme that my skin began to bleed. "Open that box and bring her out. It is already past an hour! She hasn't shown any signs of being a demon! Why is she still left in there?." Stan's voice echoed inside my ears, and it made my heart burn in rage. So it had passed one hour, yet those cruel souls still left me here. How much more wicked can they be? After a few minutes after Stan's words, the box opened and I was pulled out, feeling sore all over my body. My entire skin was hurting me like hell, so I had to gnash my teeth to avoid crying like a baby in front of them all. I really have to be strong before they push me to my death. My blood from the bleeding part of my skin was mixed with the liquid as they both drenched my body from head to toe. It was like I was injured in almost every one of me, both internal and
I swallowed the lump in my throat, closing my eyes tightly as the strange and unusual sensation rushed through me with a compelling force that made me shake in terror. I wasn't in my right senses anymore, and it felt like I was going to burst into a ferocious beast. "I will show you what the bald guy can do, right here and now! No need for shouting or struggling because no one can hear you from this soundproof room" I heard the guard's voice snarl at me, and each word was like fuel to the raging fire burning inside me. "Why are her eyes closed and she isn't screaming or struggling to escape?" Another voice, which sounded like that of the second guard, waved past my ears, and I tried to move my body, but it was like I was paralyzed to the ground. I was no longer in control of my body as it seemed to be disconnected from my brain. Now even my eyes could open again. Fear gripped me and I tried to scream, which was all but impossible. Lying hopelessly on the ground, I kept hoping to t
Jaden's POV Anger was all that filled my heart as I walked into the palace, puffing and huffing, my eyes bloodshot in fury that I felt like slapping these two creatures that bore me. My parents were at it again. They just succeeded in luring me into sleeping in the same room as the daughter of an Alpha back there in their pack. a girl I know nothing about. It was their other plan to make me fall in love, but little did they know it was all only making me fall in hatred deeper than they thought. "We received a message that you slapped the daughter of Alpha Brian!" My father growled just when he spotted me walking in. I knew the report would reach their ears quickly, and it vexed me that I didn't kill her instead. She was just lucky not to be adamant. I swear I won't spare her life. "You said I'd represent you at Alpha's first sons conference at the Dark River Pack. Why didn't you tell me how far the journey was?" I seethed, gritting my teeth as it was so clear what their plan was.
"Shit," I cursed under my breath, looking away as I saw the mischievous glint in his eyes. "Wow, you really care for her so much. Well, the good news is that I came to her rescue earlier before they could succeed in raping her. I killed the one on top of her and warned the other to take care of Ava or I'd kill him and his family after making him get the smell of my Lycan scent. They didn't succeed in raping her. Don't get too angry." He crooned, displaying those sets of teeth in a smile, and that forced my cheeks to flush red in embarrassment. Fuck! He really got me. Even I am confused for having such a reaction to the news of her rape. It's not like I have anything to do with her. "Ava is fine. When are you going to meet her? The exquisite goddess in human form whose alluring beauty can make every man drool and desire her like his life," he drawled, grinning in glee, but all he said made me almost puke. "Get out of my room now before I kill you!" I ordered, and he nodded, smiling
"What nonsense are you spewing? How the fuck will I, the Beta's daughter and most beautiful girl in this pack, be jealous of a dirty and ugly pig who killed her mother and twin brother!" She snickered and gawked at me with reddened face and gritting teeth. I couldn't help giggling at wgar she just said. Most beautiful, for real? "Who really gave you that hope? Even if they had all deceived you by telling you that you are beautiful, don't you have a mirror to show how you really look like?" I sneered and roamed my eyes through her body, making sure it had disgust glint in them. Although she was the Beta's daughter, I didn't see any single reason to let her insult me. If things had gone well, she should be bowing to me as the Alpha daughter, going on any errand I send her on. It was more annoying to see jealousy in her eyes whenever she looked into my face. I guess she loves my eyes and wishes she had them. "You aren't afraid. I will report you to the Alpha. Or you've lost your memor
