Loraine’s PovI watched them look at me with disgust and I could tell from the way they were looking at me what kind of things they were thinking about.Especially Pauline and Penelope, who were clearly telling me that I don’t deserve and not fit to be the Alpha King’s mate. No matter what kind of gaze they would look at me, that doesn’t change the fact that I am the Alpha King’s mate.“Come on, let’s start and end this.” Pauline calmly says while looking at the shaman, urging her to do what her task is.The shaman smiled and then before she opened her eyes, she spoke. “Just some pre-cautions that I would like to say before we begin, it’s not that I have always succeeded since the first time I succeeded, the two couples who had broken off their marks had gone mad. One became delirious and became intellectually challenged, while the other one was sick to the point that its body was like a skeleton.”I couldn’t help but shiver at her words. Even grandma’s eyes were shaking, and she coul

Loraine’s Pov“Is that all that you wanted to say to me?” I asked, while looking at the shaman.The shaman smiled and shook his head. “Child, if you keep on running away from fate, it won’t do you any good. If you are suffering right now from rejecting the bond you have with your mate, trust me, you will feel worse later. It is the same as the moon goddess punishing you for rejecting what she had prepared for you.”I couldn’t help but laugh at her words. So, she was here just to convince me to undo the rejection. But no matter how much I would suffer; I had already rejected him and there is no need for me to take back the words that I uttered right in front of the Alpha King and his loved ones.If I did undo my rejection, if I took back what I had said earlier, how is it different from eating my own words?Prideful? No. I just want to get out of a place that doesn’t serve me.I looked at the shaman and let out a mocking laugh. “You haven’t seen the way that they look at me earlier. Yo

THIRD PERSON’S POVAfter making sure that Loraine had finally slept peacefully, and it seemed that the medicine had kicked in, Aaron let out a sigh of relief and his hand reached out, caressing Loraine’s face before he stood up.Before he left, he took one glance at Loraine and made sure that she wasn’t suffering from the pain right then.Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart that Loraine had rejected him as his mate, he felt relief that it really didn’t have an effect, especially that his bond with Loraine was too strong, and the mark on his back was proof of it.Loraine belongs to him.His gaze deepened and darkened. “It seems that I have to start cleaning the mess that I made.”He looked at Loraine again, slightly bent down and brushed his lips against hers as he softly whispered in her ears, “Just wait for me, okay? I will soon clean up all the mess that I made and won’t ever think of entertaining another man other than me.”After that, he left Loraine’s room and went back t

Loraine’s PovIn the middle of the night, I couldn’t help but furrow, especially as I felt there was something wrong in my surroundings. More like I had become sensitive to the presence of a living being and I couldn’t properly sleep because I was tired from the laborious work as a servant here in this pack, plus the fact that I felt someone was watching me.However, I couldn’t sense a murderous intent coming from this person, so my body was on alert, ready to attack this person if he emitted even a dust of murderous intent.Damn it, I really wanted to sleep but if I, didn’t open my eyes right now and let this person stare at me, he might burn a hole in my body.“Just what do you want?” I hoarsely asked with my eyes closed.I sensed that man slowly enter my room through the window, and just by the way he walked towards my direction, I could already guess who it was, so I didn’t bother to open my eyes to see him.“Who was it?” He coldly asked, and I felt the heaviness on my bed.I felt

Loraine’s PovAs expected, I was their target. I couldn’t help but grit my teeth and glare at them.“Let them go. What do you want from us?” I asked while looking at the two of them coldly.The one who was holding a blooded ax, named Ash, let out a chuckle while showing his broad grin, highlighting how creepy he looked right now.“We will let them go, only if you follow us.” Ash said while grinning from ear to ear, and he even licked his lips, looking at me with those lustful gazes that made me cringe all over.Damn it. Why do I always get involved with these creeps? Do I look like a magnet that will only attract these fucking creeps? Does my face scream for their attention?I couldn’t help but feel disgusted at the way that they looked at me.Before I could open my mouth and speak, when suddenly, someone interrupted us. It was one of the maids who had been sobbing earlier, begging for mercy, and with snots all over, speaking while pointing her fingers at me.“Take her! She’s the one
