Chapter: Epilogue: Happily Ever AfterEPILOGUE“What do you think?” Henry stared at her with anticipation in his eyes.Anaya took one last look at the mansion’s living room which was decorated in pieces of luxurious golden furniture imported from Asia. When Henry told her he had a gift for her, she wasn’t expecting him to have prepared a home for them to move into. This was one of the houses he inherited from his father. He had been furnishing it ever since she told him she was pregnant.The moment he parked his car in the driveway, she knew this was the home she had always dreamed of staying with her family. The neighbourhood was quiet and serene, she had her personal garden and the yard was big enough for the children to run around.She had to be careful not to scream too much so she wouldn’t startle the baby inside her bulging belly.“It’s the best gift I’ve ever received.” Anaya uttered, unable to stop herself from smiling. “I couldn’t ask for anything more.” A few months ago, she never thought she would live long en

Chapter: Cliffs And EdgesAnaya felt her heart leave her body when she saw Theresa standing close to the cliff with a sleeping Ryle on her arms. She wanted to reach out and grab her son away from the crazy woman but she remained rooted to the spot.Aggravating Theresa in such a vulnerable point wasn’t the best thing to do. A single movement and she would fall into the cliff with Ryle. That wasn’t something Anaya could risk.“Take one more step and I’ll drop dead with Ryle.” Theresa’s words were malicious, a deadly glint that Anaya had never seen shining in her eyes.“Theresa. Step away from the edge of the cliff.” Henry’s voice was calm but Anaya knew he was simmering inside.“No! I will not move from here until you promise to let Ryle go with me.” Theresa hissed.“Are you out of your mind? There is no way I am giving my son to you!” Henry snapped at her.“Please, don’t do this, Theresa.” Anaya pleaded, tears flowing down her face.“Why, Henry?” Theresa scoffed. “You seemed so fine moving on after Lauren’s dea

Chapter: A Chase Down The MountainsHenry called his mother as soon as he saw the text message his mother left for him. “Pick up.” He murmured under his breath as Anaya remained frozen next to him.He could already see tears streaming down her face and he knew her greatest fear had come to reality. Theresa had been after Ryle.“Henry!” His mother’s shrill voice came into the line. “God, where did you put your phone? We can’t find Ryle anywhere. That wretched girl took my grandson away!”“C-Calm down, Mother.” Henry said even though he wasn’t quite calm himself. He was livid, boiling with an explosive anger. “I need you to stay in the house in case Theresa comes back. She’s mentally unstable. She might not know what she’s doing.”“She knows!” Anaya snapped. “She knows very well what she’s doing. This has been her plan from the beginning, Henry. To take Ryle away from us. I knew it. I knew my fear was justified. God, we made a terrible mistake, Henry. We gave Ryle to her. We handed our Ryle over to her.” “Anaya, please–”

Chapter: A Musical DisasterAnaya took one last look at herself in the mirror to check out her fit for the night. Henry wanted them to wear matching outfits so she wore her pale blue palazzo trousers with a white off-shoulder blouse while he wore his white baggy pants and a light blue shirt.Her brown hair was curled and left to flow down her shoulders. To go with the look, she wore her white wedge sandals and carried her white midi hand bag. Her makeup was left minimal with just powder and shiny lip gloss.She was satisfied with her look but her anxiety about tonight was what sent her mood into a down spiral.Margeret said she was picking up an old friend from the airport and wouldn’t be able to make it until thirty minutes from the time she and Henry would be leaving. When Henry was getting dressed, Anaya sent a text to Margeret, pleading for her to do everything she could to get here on time. There was just something about leaving Ryle alone with Theresa that made Anaya’s stomach clench with worry.“Wowww.”

Chapter: Apologies And A GiftLaying motionlessly on the bed, Anaya stared at the streak of sunlight that seeped into the room through the blinds. Despite the fact that she tried to cover the window to avoid the brightness, that single ray of sunlight still managed to slip through.It annoyed her a lot. She couldn’t even lay in the dark in peace? Why did it have to be so damn persistent in getting into the room?She couldn’t remember when she stopped crying last night but by the time she tried to stand up to lie on the bed, she nearly tripped over and fell due to the dizziness that wrecked her entire body.Practically crawling, she made her way to the bed hoping to find some moments of rest but her mind deprived her of that. She spent the night rethinking, evaluating and replaying scenarios in her head.Right from the moment Henry brought Theresa to the house till last night where the inevitable conflict reached its climax. She tried to figure out if she had missed something. If she was wrong with her assumption t

Chapter: The Height of The Conflict“What the–” Anaya watched as Theresa stood up abruptly after being doused with the water. Henry got up as well as some droplets of water found their way on him.“Anaya?” Henry frowned with confusion on his face but Anaya’s anger wasn’t directed at him. Or maybe it was.She wasn’t sure what upsetted her the most. The fact that Theresa had the guts to scheme against her in her own house or the fact that Henry was too blinded because she was Lauren’s sister to see that Theresa was up to no good.Her blood was boiling and she so badly wanted to break something into pieces. Knowing she couldn’t result to violence, she raised her voice at the culprit.“What on earth are you doing sleeping on my husband’s shoulder?” Anaya gritted at Theresa who was wiping the water away from her face.“Anaya, I didn’t–”“Has this been your plan all along?” Anaya snapped, cutting her off. “To steal not only Ryle but to seduce my husband as well?”“N-No, you have it all wrong. I swear, we were just watching T

Chapter: Two-Faced EldersOPHELIA“Find him and lock him up!” The Alpha orders and the guards get to their feet, about to go after Damian.But I don’t allow it. “Stop!” I intervene, stepping in front of the guards.A few gasps fill the air, announcing the surprise of the remaining guests in the hall. I keep my gaze fixated on the Alpha who’s still resting on one of the royal guards. He glares back at me with equal ferocity, his grey orbs not backing down from my challenge. Tension in the hall rises as we remain silent for a while, neither of us saying a word.I must admit, his gaze is daring and authoritatively binding as an Alpha but I refuse to be intimidated. Damian may be his son but he is my husband and I have to protect him especially at this time where everyone seems to be against him.“The coronation has been pushed off until further notice!” Sir Wicker calls out loud and clear for everyone to hear. “We appreciate everyone’s presence here and we deeply apologize for the turn of events. Please, exit th

Chapter: His Full TransformationOPHELIAHe’s losing control.Everyone has their eyes on the Alpha as he rages over installing Damian as Alpha but I keep my eyes on Damian. His grey eyes are unguarded, a considerable amount of fury pouring all over. His fists are by his sides, and I can tell from the way his arms are shaking that he’s on the verge of losing control. If no one intervenes, this may lead to something very bad.“Father, that's enough. I will not allow you to come to my coronation and make a mess of it.” Damian hisses, his voice laced with a deadly threat.The Alpha turns around from the council Elders, a wild look in his eyes. “ You dare? You dare threaten me?” “Perhaps, you taught me too well.” Damian retorts and I gulp, anxious at how this is playing out. “As your son.” His Majesty remains silent for a moment before a disgusted look comes over his face. “No, You are nothing but the murderer who killed his own mother.” My heart thumps so loudly that I fear the guests can hear it. Damian’s face turns

Chapter: Rejected By the Sleeping AlphaDAMIANInstant silence cuts across the chatter of the wedding guests. Immediately, every single person in attendance rises to their feet, their faces an expression of surprise and shock. As all eyes are locked on the one person taking all the attention currently. My father, Murdock Crypthill, supported on one hand by a stunned guard and on the other, his single crested acne that he hasn't held in months before his coma. His eyes are cold, locked straight at me. And me…I literally am shocked, beyond measure, that he is out here. Yet unable to process if this is true or some mischievous prank. “Father…” I let out those words slowly and carefully. My mind argues that this is not possible. That Father would not be up at this time. That I am only seeing things because somehow I expect that I would have my father attend my wedding.Because what now? Having him here, with all the things that have happened of late. Would he even be proud of me being crowned as his successor? Would he al

Chapter: The Wedding Day 2OPHELIAMy heart slows down as we proceed into the hall, walking down the path created for us.A low ceremonial hum–ancient and almost haunting--followed. It sounds like it was woven from voices and instruments of the old age. The guests all turn to us and I try not to squirm under the pressure of a hundred pairs of eyes on me. Intsead, I focus on Damian who keeps his eyes ahead and walks with unmatched confidence.I mirror his steps, breathing out slowly to release some tensions. Some guests smile at me and I hear others gushing over how pretty I am.I don't see any negative reactions so far and this puts me at ease. “You're doing great, Ophelia.” Damian whispers and I break out a smile.Soon, we get to the stage and the officiator begins the ceremony.“Today, we're gathered here to celebrate a union of one of its kind. A harmony between two souls to blend into one. And we are the witnesses of this love story.”I try my best not to glance at the crowd, fully aware that each of my m

Chapter: The Wedding Ceremony 1OPHELIAMy hands are shaking. As I stand before the double doors of the banquet hall with Damian, I realise I'm nervous–more than I should be.When I made the decision to go ahead with the wedding, I had thought thoroughly about it.I weighed the pros and cons and realised that the consequences of postponing the wedding was much greater than not.I know how hard Damian had worked for this day and how much resistance he had faced so far. I've only been with him for about a week now but the things I've experienced are beyond me.And that's what he has probably had to go through for the past years of his life. I had to remind myself that this wasn't just our wedding but also the coronation. And to Damian…that's everything. I had to put my feelings aside in order for him to achieve that which he has longed for. I didn't want to be a hindrance in his path.But now, standing before the wedding hall and listening to the guests waiting and anticipating our arrival, I wonder if I had inadve

Chapter: The Hard ChoiceOPHELIAA wave of nausea hits me. My senses jolt back to reality.My fingers twitch and I move my body slightly due to discomfort. My ears pick up shuffling and I tense, afraid for a reason I don’t quite know yet. What happened? Where am I?“Ophelia.” a voice calls out to me and somehow, all my nerves washes away. A hand, gentle as it can be, strokes my head. “Ophelia, can you hear me?”“Your Majesty, are you awake?” Forcing my eyes open, I squint, trying to adjust to blinding lights. My head aches and I can’t seem to understand why and my limbs have fallen weak, unable to move as I would want to.“O-Ophelia.” Damian’s face comes into view, his eyebrows furrowed and concerned. “Are you alright?” He cups my face with his hand and I nod, letting out a deep breath.“I-I am fine.” I utter then look around to notice we’re not alone in the room. Katrina is by my left, holding my hand shakily while Reagan, Sir Wicker, and even Henrick are behind Damian.Are we done with the wedding? What i
