Koko's POV
Koko's POVI felt a burning sensation on my cheek. The impact got me falling to the ground as I spat out blood. How could I be so dumb to think that I could go against my sister? I had never won over her. I have been beaten, gagged and trampled on just to satisfy her. What made me think this would be different? How on earth do I think that Gad would accept my being mate with him? He did warn me, but I thought he was just bidding his time. Wishful thinking, right? That had always been me. "Fucking cunt, didn't you hear what she said?" Gad roared at me. He didn't even flinch when he saw me on the floor, neither did he felt remorseful for hitting my. I felt abandoned and… hurt, but for fear of another slap, I lowered my eyes and bit my lips from quivering. I had no choice but to obey, if that would stop everything. How wrong I was. I was totally and freaking wrong. Who said being obedient would take me out of trouble? I have trouble as my second, no, first name. It follows me everywhere.
Koko's POVAfter that day's incident, I tended to avoid everyone. I went about my business quietly like a mouse whose tail was cut off. I worked like a horse, wallowing in my sorrows and woes. I had no one to console me. It was just me and my wolf. Though she doesn't speak to me, I feel her presence from time to time. But just as she decided to ignore me, I did the same to her. It wasn't that I was blaming her or something, but I was too broken to console anyone or listen to any consolation. I just wanted to be left alone. The servants still pushed me out to sleep on the cold balcony, but I didn't mind as long as I could put something on my stomach. I Ignored their curses and insults. I swallowed their beatings whenever they deem fit to hit me. I never fought back. I refuse to fight back. Perhaps I was tired of fighting back when all I would receive would be worse. Every day I watched as the love blossoms between my sister and my mate, no, my mate that rejected me. Though I felt a p
Koko's POVI was still filled with surprise when the maid got closer to me, panting. What could be the urgency? What happened? It's strange for them to talk to me and even more strange to be called by my name."What do you want and why am I needed? I am through with my chores already." I asked looking confused. What have I done wrong again?These people always frame me for every single thing and watch with glee how I was always punished. So I wondered what trick they had hatched up this time."Koko." She called out again. I heard it clearly this time around. I really wasn't dreaming.It was the first time I had heard someone in the palace call me by my name. Come to think of it, I didn't think they were trying to punish me. I thought it must be something else, as they called my name. That means it must be something they needed my help with. But what could it be?"You are needed at the palace infirmary…now!" She was panting hard, and she looked very worried. It scared me. The palace In
Koko's POVI watched as my mother and everyone around unanimously agreed for my heart to be taken in order to save Hanola who according to them was the future Luna. I fight back the tears threatening to fall.I was suddenly weak on my knees and almost fell down. I had to hold myself back because I knew no one would care if I fell or not. They were all expecting a positive answer from me.Do I even have a choice? If I don't agree, I would live a miserable life worse than death. And if I agree I was still going to die. The only difference would be that I would at least save my sister.That would be doing a good deed, right? I couldn't save my father, but I now have the chance to save my sister. That was probably the reason why the moon goddess still let me live after killing my father. I took a deep breath before facing my mother."I agree to save Hanola. I will give her… (I hesitated a bit, asking myself if I was making the right decision.) My heart." I said in surrender and I bit hard
2 Years Ago. Niyol's POV "I am so sorry, your grace," Chester my beta spoke softly with his hand resting on my shoulder. I could feel his deep sorrow. Why was he sorrowful? I stood dumbstruck by the sight before me. Though my heart was beating faster than lightning, I still couldn't believe it. It can't be her. It just wasn't her, right? I shook my head vigorously to take away the image. I stared at my beta, I refused to believe anything. Why was he apologizing to me? I thought. "Why are you apologizing? We are in a dream. Soon we are going to be gathered eating her favorite cooked beef stew. You don't need to be sad or sorry." I told him. Or was I trying to convince myself instead? I don't need to convince myself because this wasn't real in the first place. This was one hell of a dream, yeah. And I am sure I was going to wake up from that moment. I knew I was dreaming because soon my Luna's arms would be around me in the morning. Psychologists would call my action "d
Alpha NiyolThat moment that I kissed her in her dazed state this morning felt normal like every other morning. But that would now be one of my most cherished moments ever. It kept replaying all over my mind.There wasn't a single life in her. The only woman I loved my entire life was gone right before my eyes and I couldn't protect her. Feeling frustrated, I growled loudly in anger.Though I held back the tears, the pain was eating me up. My growl was so heartbreaking that I know the pack members within the palace must have felt it.She was supposed to be my mate and I was to be her shield. I was supposed to be her umbrella in times of rain. Her rock and her shield. And yet… yet, I had missed the signs. We slept together almost every night making love and feeling our hearts. Growing fonder each day yet, I still missed all the signs.How could I be so careless?It's been five years since we got married. Although we had been trying to bear a child, just for the sake of the throne, I n
NIYOL'S POV Staring at my mother with eyes as dark as the night, I tried very hard to control my emotions from going berserk. "What…did you just say?" I asked with fire in my heart. "It's true. Why would she…" My mother started, but I cut her off with a murderous glare. "How could you say that about your daughter in-law? I thought you once took her as your daughter?" "I did, but that was before all this started." "Mother… it wasn't not her fault. Do you know if the fault came from me?" "I know you will come to her defense. But she is dead already, Niyol." "Even if she is dead, it doesn't make you disrespect her!" "It's the bitter truth, Niyol. Do you know how much your father and I had to endure from the people around?" "And do you know how much she had to endure these five years?" "What did she have to endure?" My mother scoffed. "She had to endure being called names by her fellow women and mothers like you. She cried every single day and at night I had to he
BETA CHESTER POVIf anyone could describe the pain that Alpha Niyol was passing through, I would be the right person. I knew how much Luna Erika meant to him.We grew up together and I watched as their friendship blossomed into an undying love after they discovered they were fated to be mates.They loved each other selflessly. There was no day they won't be seen cuddling or strolling together with their hands wrapped tightly. The alpha lived for his Luna. Every second of his life, he always included a thought for her.I am not just his Beta but I am also his friend and confidant. I listened to how he talked about Luna Erika's grief and how he wished he could find a solution. The insults were becoming increasingly unbearable.I could also see the reason why the Luna Queen decided to end her own life. The anger and whispers were long overdue in her chest. The depression was eating her up gradually until it swallowed her sanity.Maybe she was tired of the whispers and curses. She must be
