Astra~~~ Reaching the door, I shoved down the door knob gently as not to Awaken anyone. It was already dead into midnight and no one should be lurking around by this time of the night. I found her sleeping peacefully as she coiled up herself under the bed sheets. Seeing that everything was okay, I released a deep breath and turned to leave. "Pls don't kill me" Her voice came again and my legs stood rooted at a place. "Pls don't kill me, I have to live for my mom" She pleaded in shaky breaths. Slowly i advanced towards her. I could feel her body shake and shiver in fear and her heartbeat, racing quicker than normal. What kind of dream was she having, her words reminds me of a dreadful past, a part of me that I had buried deep beneath my heart. I clasped her sweaty hands with mine as I sat on the bed beside her and instantly, she steeled and her breathing became normal. What could be haunting her dreams? I removed the few strands of hair that stacked on her face,

Ava~~~~ I had woken up late into the day. The same dream swept back right into my blankness. The same terrific man had stabbed me. How I survived was still a miracle to me. Last night, I had felt the presence of someone envelope me, it waned off the dreams and I felt protected. But waking up, I couldn't find anyone in the room, perhaps it was just my imagination. I sleeked off the bed going towards the bathroom mirror. I took a single brush from the pack of brush's that hung in the closet. After few minutes of brushing my teeth, I rinsed my lips with water, I removed my dress and stood naked before the mirror. The invisible waist chain that glittered the same colour with my skin had fallen to my hips. It was something my mother had put on me when I was twelve, although it was elastic, it had become more tighter and gripped into my skin that one wouldn't even notice it. According to her, it meant a pure symbol of special decadence and I couldn't quite understand what

Ava~~~~ "Where are you leaving to my lady?" Lily sparked in squishing agony as she slumped to the floor. "Oh my God, Lily !" I screamed in shock as I ran over to her. "What happened Lily, what happened to your body" Tears prickled at the side of my eyes as stared at bruised body. "It's nothing my lady, it's not much" She cried hugging me tightly as I clasped over her. "Don't tell me it's not much, tell me what happened Lily, how did you get those bruises" I demanded still holding her tightly and she bawled even harder which made my heart shriek with pain. I decided to let her be until she was calm. The tension in the room slowly calmed down and for a moment I forgot that someone was watching us. "Can you tell what happened Lily?" I asked when her breathing steadied and she nodded. "It all started when you escaped my lady, I was helping in the kitchen like other servants but just then, I was dragged out by the guards to the throne room" She paused and looked at me

Ava~~~~~ I had ran back in tears. The pain was something I couldn't take. Perhaps he wants to show me how much he loathed me by getting married to another woman. Even if he didn't love me, does he have to be so heartless. Oh Moon Goddess, I have suffer just enough cause, I want it to stop pls ' I lamented inwardly clutching to the embrace of Lily who kept crying alongside me. The grief was terrible, my insides feel torn up. The door pushed open and Sinai walked with a smile on her face. I had been deceived, I guess I was too soft in personality. I had thought she wanted me to help the Alpha but maybe it was her own way of making a mockery of me. "Mate's for Alpha's shouldn't be weak, don't you think so?" She stated with a spectacular mischievous smile. "I guess you're happy that you have him all to yourself" I remarked giving her a scornful look as I stood up from the floor. "Listen Ava, you don't have to be so rational, you ___" "Say no more word Sinai !" I snapp

Astra~~~ Today was the day of the mating ritual as well as the coronation. Just like that, I will rise to the position of an Alpha of a pack then gradually, I'll strip my father his legacy and occupy the kingship position, only then my hunts and retribution begins. The hall bustled with different people. The maids and servants worked on the decorations, swinging along gold elastic stripes along the entrance door to the podiums. The paintings on the wall shimmered under the morning light as they gave it little touches of wipe. The floor has been scrubbed clean which which sparkled like crystals. Seats and tables if high nobleman men was being arranged in circles, each table had at least six seats surrounding it and different brands of assorted wine arranged beautifully on top with crystal glass cup hovering over them. Right now, the hall screamed elegance which perfected my expectations. Everyone has done excellently well in furnishing the grand hall and I was impressed. Ev
