Chapter 25For the rest of the day, the only thing Ronan could think of were her rejection words and the words that followed. He didn’t know the pain of rejection, and for the first time in his entire existence, the pain hit him more than any he has faced.“I think that makes us even now. You’ve rejected me twice without batting an eye, and I’m doing mine now. It should help clear everything.” She said after walking towards the bed.He didn’t even say anything, watching her lay down and covering herself up with the cloth. He just sat there, lifelessly with his heart writhing in pain until he finally figured he needed to leave. “Faster!” He slammed his hand on the girl riding him buttocks, trying to get her off his head. If only a rejection could hurt him this way, he wondered how she must have felt when he said it twice. The look of hurt and pain that flashed her eyes that morning and the night he first said it to her. “Get off me.” He said all of a sudden, standing up and walking
Chapter 26Something was happening today and Stacey could sense it. The maids were working extra hours and the whole house was sparkling clean. She couldn’t tell if it was the rejection she did with Ronan that made him send her breakfast to her room but she didn’t care, if anything was going to happen to her, she was going to enjoy the time she had left.Without his permission, she and the maid plucked some flowers from the garden yesterday and had gone to the town to sell it. Even though the money was with the maid, she didn’t care. The maid insisted to keep it for her, she would likely lose her job if the alpha finds her helping her to get money which she might use to escape and wasn’t ready for that. The door opened as her eyes brightened in excitement, but it died down as she saw the person that walked in. “Good morning,” she greeted with disdain as she continued with her food.“Why did you have to greet him?” Freya said to her as she closed her eyes.He closed in on her, pullin
Chapter 27Seeing the people filled in the hall always warmed Ronan’s heart every time they had a party, but today was different. Both his wolf and his mind was another thing, or another person.He kept gulping down, glancing back and forth and waiting for her to show up. He didn’t know why he was doing most of these things, but it warmed him up. He had called the tailors and picked a dress for her, sending it through Lena and asking them to make sure she wore it. He remembered her words that night; she wanted to be happy, she wanted to be loved and welcomed. If he couldn’t be with her, he would at least make sure she was comfortable. “Your highness,” he heard someone call out as he turned his head to meet one of the elders' eyes. “You seem distracted. Is anything the problem?” “Not at all. I’m just waiting for Eric, he’s not here yet.” He replied before standing up.This was also the first time he was getting nervous about something. Not any important detail of the pack, but over
Chapter 28The last of the drugs wore off immediately he heard that, rushing out of the room and towards the stairs. Her room was opened and as he entered, he met everything the way it was. The bed laid, and even the table properly arranged.“Should I find the beta?”“Yes!” He yelled at the guard as a lot of thoughts went through his brain.No. No. No. She couldn’t have escaped, Lena was with her, and so was the other maid that they were dressing her. Even if she had any power, there was no way she could have overpowered Lena, there was no way she could have done that. “Eric! Stacey is missing!” He mindlinked him again but no response.Even Janiya that he sent here to come and check was not there. Ronan rushed out of the room, his feet moving towards Eric’s room and barging into the room. “Eric! Eric!” He yelled out. He moved to the bathroom, opening the door and seeing it empty. Eric was not inside, Janiya was not inside also. He clenched his jaw and walked out, rushing back to th
Chapter 29.“Your mate? What do you mean your mate?” Janiya’s father talked out.Ronan eyed them all, annoyance seeping through him. “I felt the bond the first day I saw her. We share the mate bond, and I feel so attracted to her. That’s why I’ve been protecting her. That’s why I did not want anyone touching her. That’s the main reason I told you not to take her to the dungeon!” He said furiously.“But you all disobeyed me! You disobeyed your alpha! How long have you people been planning this!” He fumed out.“How long have you known this? That she’s your mate? You knew this and you didn’t bother to tell us, leaving us in the dark and thinking you can do everything yourself!” “I knew it since the first night she came in, and I rejected her immediately.”“So what changed? Why are you wanting her now?” An elder asked.Ronan opened his mouth to talk but couldn’t find any words. The same question he badly needed an answer to, the same thing he was curiously dying to know. He didn’t feel
Chapter 30“Your highness,” the priestess greeted as she walked towards him. “How is she?” He asked, turning his back towards her and the priestess walking to meet him.“She’s just weak from the usage of the power. From what I checked, this is not the first time she has displayed something like that but she hasn’t used it so much. I doubt she herself knows how much energy is surging through her.”Of course, Ronan thought to himself. This could not be the first time, she must have displayed it in front of the devil,“And from what I’ve seen also, she only displays the power when she’s hurt or in danger and she doesn’t want it. If it’s a kind of pain she wants and has yielded to, it won’t come out.”Ronan’s heart clenched multiple times. If she has displayed the power in front of Lucien, it means he was hurting her and she didn’t want it. Maybe she was right, she didn’t know much about the devil and all he wanted was her power. “But according to the books, her power is very dangerous.
Chapter 32She was just about to knock when he opened the door, their eyes meeting. She noticed the hesitancy in his eyes as he saw her. “Janiya, what are you looking for? It’s late already.” He said to her,“I came here to see you on something,” she retorted.“If it’s about your father, I’ve made my decision. I’m not allowing him to leave that place.” Ronan stated, walking back into the room.“I’m not here because of my father. I’m here to talk to you about the girl,”Ronan halted as he turned to face her, surprise on his face as he stared at her, “what’s wrong with Stacey?” He questioned.“Do you think she’s really your mate? How are you even believing that she’s your mate? For all I care, the moon goddess could be playing a trick on you or something. She might not be your mate.” Janiya stated.“And why do you care about that? Did Eric put you up for this?” Ronan replied.He continued before she could say anything, “and for all I care, I’m not asking for anyone's opinion about what
Chapter 33.The first crow woke Ronan up, springing up from his bed and starting his daily work. By the time he was done dressing up and ready to eat, the thought that Stacey would not be eating with him in the dining room made him sigh as he called a maid.“Serve the food in her room, I’ll be eating there.” He said to her, He sighed heavily, deciding to visit the dungeon where he had locked Janiya’s father before going to eat. By the time he got there, the man was sleeping on the bed, eyes closed. “Who brought a bed for him?” He asked the guard beside him.“I did.” Another voice retorted, turning his head to see Eric walking towards them. “He’s my grandfather too. He’s my mate’s grandfather, and I’m the beta. I know he might have gone against your rules but as the beta, I can’t just watch him sleep on the floor like that.” Eric added, bowing to Ronan who ignored him. “It’s fine. Ask him to leave as soon as he wakes up.” He added before turning away to leave.“I’m awake. Let the g
