The entire hall became quiet at the sound of the booming voices. It was pin-drop silent. The only thing that could be heard was the fast intake of breath by those around. I could also not help myself by holding my breath upon hearing those voices. I would recognize those voices anywhere, anytime, and as I was sure of that, so would anyone present. Everyone quickly bowed toward the direction of the voices. "Your majesty!" "Your Royal Highness!" "Your Highness!" Everyone quickly greeted the three majestic women in their Royal garments. Their entry was so grand that it took my breath away. However, I quickly lowered my head before I attracted the eyes of any of them to me. Though their outburst just now wasn't directed toward me, I still tried to be as less visible as possible in their presence. I was not confident enough that I would not offend them as soon as they became aware of my presence. Yes, the Queen has made it known that she has no issue with me; however, I couldn'
The faces of the people around who heard her words turned sour, feeling hurt inside but couldn't show how they felt outside."Alright, that's enough, Audree. Let's join your mother at the table. Your father and brother will soon join us, and we don't want them seeing us still standing about at the hall." Princess Alexa said, cutting her off and leading the way."Yes, aunt." Princess Audree responded before following her. As soon as I heard Princess Alexa mention him, I became tensed immediately.Has he recovered?I stopped walking and looked towards the entrance of the hall, expecting his arrival.However, I was not the only one who heard Princess Alexa's words and was curious about his presence; those around us also heard her.Whispers and murmurs could be heard almost immediately. Some even went to the extent of saying that they would wait for his arrival in the hall, while some went to the entrance to gather in small groups on the claim that they wanted to be among the first to s
Still tryiing to comprehend what had just happened, I received a hard blow against my cheek making me cry out in pain from the impact. Holding my cheek, I looked up at Lady Samantha and asked, "Lady Samantha w...what was that for? How have i offended you to deserve such reaction as to you hitting me from you?" However, before i could finish my sentence, i receieved another slap from Lady Lora. "How dare you? Who do you think you are to ask us questions? You, a little nobody, just lucky enough to be the Prince's fated mate, thinks she has the right to question us?" As she said that, she raised her hand againt to land me another slap but was cut off by Lady Samantha's words. "Lora, that is enough for now." She dusted her hands and walked toward the basin, switched on the tap and rinsed her hands. Not wanting any more trouble from them, i decided not to say anything and got up from the floor, dusted my clothes and tried to leave the restroom again. Yet, as i moved toward the door
On hearing the scream, those who were standing around me rushed toward the location where the scream came from to check what had happened.My heart raced without me being aware of it as another resounding scream filled the hall.The scream was bone-chilling and terrifying upon hearing it. It was more heartwrenching than the first.The first scream sounded like a shock, while the second one was filled with pain, extreme disheartening pain.As I stood there, watching as people rushed into the dining hall and listening to whispers from there, I had a nagging feeling about what had happened and trembled on the spot.Cold sweat formed against my forehead as I imagined what was going on in the dining area. I was lost on what to do.I didn't know if I should step forward to see what was going on or to stay put and not get involved. I wasn't sure if I wanted to witness the scene.However, as I was still contemplating, I heard another scream, and a raging growl followed the scream. I knew in
Without thinking it through, I had placed my lips against his and didn't let go even when he let out a warning growl at the sudden assault against his lips. However, when he realized that it was me, he stopped growling but did not respond to me immediately. It took a while and during those period i began doubting myself if i was doing the right thing. Seeing that i was not getting to him, i decided to withdraw and keep a considerable amount of distance from him. However, as i was about to detangle my lips from his, he began to respond, leaving me in shock. i didn't expect him to actually return the act of kissing me back. But i caught myself on time and started kissing him again. At first, he started slowly with him, letting me take the lead, and before i knew it, he became rough, taking control from me. Remembering that we were not alone and was rather, in front of a large crowd and most especially in front of the KIng and Queen, i tried to disentangle myself from him but he
"Uhm... Y...Your Highness," I was saying before another angry growl from him cut me off. His eyes narrowed, and his face contorted with rage. I could feel the intensity of his anger radiating off him, making my words catch in my throat. The room fell silent as the weight of his fury hung in the air. "I dare you all to repeat your words!" The sudden growl had me taking tiny steps backward. His piercing gaze bore into me, filling me with an overwhelming sense of dread, even though I knew it was not directed toward me. The intensity of his anger was palpable, making it clear that any further provocation would have dire consequences. He growled out angrily, frightening everyone present. His voice echoed through the room, causing a collective shiver to run down our spines. The tension in the air was suffocating, leaving us all paralyzed with fear. Those who had just spoken trembled in fear, praying he would not single them out to deal with them. The dining hall became so quiet that
It's been days since that incident at the dining hall, and things after that day have been what I would call surreal. Even though no one dared to insult me in front of me openly, they did so when neither I nor any of the royal families were present. They stayed clear of me as much as possible, and it seemed as though everyone was walking on eggshells around me. Whispers and hushed conversations filled the halls, making it clear that my presence had stirred up a storm of gossip and intrigue within the palace walls. The tension in the air was palpable, and I couldn't help but feel isolated and excluded. It was disheartening to realize that even behind closed doors, insults and judgments continued to circulate. The incident had left a lasting impact on the dynamics within the pack, making me question my place among them, which I shouldn't have, considering the fact that I was a spy. I knew that it would not be easy for me since I had been discovered to be a spy and had only survived
My heart pounded in my chest, and I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead. The unknown woman's expression was unreadable, but there was an undeniable tension between the two of them. I braced myself for whatever was about to unfold, hoping that I could get out of this situation unscratched without further invoking their anger. However, when they got to my side, they only sneered at me without stopping and just walked past me, which was a surprise to me because I had expected them to at least insult or throw threatening words at me.Relieved, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. As they disappeared into the distance, I couldn't help but wonder what had caused their sudden change in demeanor. Perhaps they were being cautious of their actions toward me because of what had happened in the dining hall, or maybe there was something else entirely going on that I wasn't aware of.Either way, I counted my lucky stars and continued on my way, grateful to have escaped u
