~TAHLIA ~
His brown eyes were piercing through her like he could see her naked features through her cloth, he was coming too close for her liking and all she could think of was how handsome he looked.Her heart was beating loudly and she knew deep down that everyone could hear it now, but she still couldn’t peel her eyes away from him.Something was wrong, her wolf was calling unto this man, she wanted so badly to fall into his arms, but she kept her control.“What’s happening”, she thought to herself, all her reasoning sense was gone, she has never lost control like this, never!Just then she felt a sharp pain coming from her chest, moving quickly to the lower feminine part, then she felt hot with raw pleasure, down to her leg, and she staggered and almost fell.Someone was there to hold her, but she couldn’t see at the moment, her sight immediately had dots covering them and all she could see was a blur.The sensation hit her so fast and hard, she felt pain at first then pleasure washed over her body, sweet mint and chocolate scent begin to waffle through her nose“No! No!”Nooo! She screamed… she tried to escape from the grip of the one who was holding her, but she couldn’t… the grip was strong.She looked up to take in the features of the smirking man in front of her again, he looked like he had descended from heaven, he was a primordial werewolf; most powerful, everyone knew that, more reason why they feared him.But all she could register at that moment was the fact that his face is so beautiful, he was drinking her without shame and she noticed that his brown caramel eye has changed into amber gold.He stood there, very tall with deep golden and rich tan undertones skin, she sucked in her breath as her eyes traveled to his neck, some of his tattoos were obvious from the collar of his white shirt.She traced it down from his upper arm, and the tattoo moved down to his chest, “he must have it on his back too”, she found herself thinking about it, that was her wolf…. She was also struck by this man and was begging to be released.Her wolf wanted to hold him and draw in his scent but Tahlia stood her ground, his long and sharp lower jaw twitched like he knew what she was thinking.But she couldn’t look away, she moved her eyes to his prominent cheekbone, he also has thick eyebrows, thin lips, and broad shoulders, and her eyes were back to his chest.“For Christ's sake! What’s wrong with me?”, she asked her wolf but didn’t get any answer, her wolf seem to be enjoying every bit of itIt struck her harder than before, the first realization wasn’t as effective, but now she knows, he’s her mate! Her eyes widened and she moved away from him, covering her mouth. Someone was still holding her.He stood there in his tall and regal form, narrow waist, broad shoulder, and v-shaped torso. “This man will be the death of us!”, her wolf growled in excitement; talking to only her.Just then her brother's laughter filled the room, dragging her back to reality, she was grateful for the intrusion, all else.. she didn’t know how she would have gotten out of her trance.She finally looked at who was holding her and met eye-to-eye with caspian mother, she was grinning from ear to ear.“Sit down my darling”, two of their house aids came rushing forward to help her sit, her body was shaking visibly.She looked over at Caspian and found him talking with his beta. Quillion was standing with them, they were talking in a hushed tone, but the atmosphere was not friendly.Quillion was sweating and his vein was visibly popping from his head, Caspian is doing something to her brother.It smelled like trouble, caspian was emitting something into the air and it was causing her wolf to whimper in fear. It’s called TERROR. Her father just sat there looking at them from a distance.Quincy was sobbing quietly in shame, she must have thought he came for her.“Now is the end of my life!” She thought to herself, feeling a cold liquid dripping down her throat, the house help had given her cold water with ice to drink. “The first time she will be fed by someone else,” she had always worked with the maids to serve her father and sister. The sweet thought quickly disappeared, and her brother looked back at her in defeat.But what’s going on and why the fuck will the moon goddess choose this terror to be her mate, with him there’s no chance of freedom, this man will continue from where her father stopped!“Can someone tell me what’s going on here?”Tahlia asked with her voice filled with sarcasm and a bit of fear, but she didn’t want to believe what her brother's eyes just told her.“You are coming with me now!…. That’s what is going on, "Caspian smirked authoritatively, his eyes turning amber gold immediately. Daring Tahlia to defy him.ALPHA CASPIAN POV Grinda and Tahlia shot out of their sitting position immediately the Lycan king walked into Grinda’s house, he couldn’t enter her bedroom so they had enough time to rush out of the balcony to meet with him.“I looked for you in your chambers and you weren’t there, I knew immmediately that you had come here after I warned you not to” that was the first thing the Lycan king spat at his wife; Tahlia.“I… I’m sorry, we couldn’t stay away from each other without knowing that we are fine… please … don’t punish me” she begged, clasping her hands tighter, the fear grew on her face and body at every second that passed.“It’s okay …. Go back to your apartment … I want to speak with Grinda … you should rest, don’t walk around yet” he responded, forcing his wolf to stay calm.Alpha Caspian was frowning but it was not because he was angry this time, it was because his wolf and darkness were forcing him to get mad at his wife again, and he didn’t want to, especially agter seeing
TAHLIA’s POV Immediately Grinda heard about Tahlia’s recovery she sent her maid to sneak in a letter to Sam, knowing fully well that Sam would deliver the message without getting caught; she loves Tahlia so much that she will happily take the burn if she even gets caught. “Don’t tell me to calm down … I haven’t seen my girl for days now, I’m worried… I can’t believe her husband would do that to her!” Grinda yelled angrily at the guard standing by the door.Beta Regulus; hee mate, had placed the young warrior there to keep her indoors and grounded as her punishment but she had successfully turned him into her gossip partner. Grinda had been fidgeting since her maid went on the crucial and risky errand, she would get caught, including the fact that she hadn't seen Tahlia for days now, all she knows is that Tahlia is better and back to her chambers.The young warrior rolled his eyes at her playfully, definitely enjoying the discussion, he quickly opened the door to stretch his head in
TAHLIA POV The queen mother wouldn’t leave Tahlia's bed side, she had been lying there for a few weeks now and it was getting worrisome, the king as well was distracted but had to be strong for his pack people's sake.“Take it easy…. Just rest your back here, finally you can be discharged .., ohoooo, my dear…. Welcome back” she beamed at Tahlia who smiled widely back at her.But almost immediately her smile waned away and a Worrisome frown replaced it, the queen mother already knew the cause of the immediate change in demeanour, Tahlia had remembered why she’s still in the hospital.“How’s Grinda … how’s she, hope she’s fine? …I totally forgot, please I would like to see her” the doctor who had just unplugged the drip from her hand gave the queen mother a knowing look who in turn gestured for the doctor to excuse them.Same with Sam and her other maid who had been with her for the past week, Sam in particular wouldn’t stop worrying, “you need to reduce the volume of your voice … and
QUINCY POV.“We started talking a few days ago and I’m getting out of here soon… I only came to tell you, maybe you will be interested in coming with me…'' Quincy was whispering in a hushed tone to Pascal but he was practically ignoring her intentionally and Quincy despised it when she’s not taken seriously.“I really appreciate your thinking and thoughts … but pleasseeeeeee… for the love of the moon goddess, you both should leave me out of this and I will advise you as well, stay away from Joan… you are still alive and breathing in this prison … that woman will make life terrible for you” he said back in response to the excited joan.His response affected her mood because when she spoke next there was no smile on her lips or excitement on her face anymore, “what’s wrong with you… ?.. aren’t you smart enough to beat a woman to her game…?… well if you think Joan can screw Me…, ask my sister if you are lucky enough to get out of here” she spat back at him.Anger and pride mixed toget
QUINCY The sound of pascal arrival jerked Quincy up and she jumped up from her slumber at once, there’s nothing much to do in the prison aside from sleep and eat the cold and unsatisfactory food brought to her and do menial labour and hard work which always wears her out.She looked out from her cage door and sighted Pascal briefly before he was pushed into his cage, although she didn’t know him on a personal level she had seen him with Katherine in the meeting hall when her father came to plead on her behalf.“How could you hurt your mate like that…?….” She didn’t wait to listen to the remaining conversation, that’s all she needed to lighten up the fire of her hopes, she knew she could as well use the dangling opportunity in front of her.She waited and leaned in her eyes closer to listen to more of their conversation, they didn’t know she was listening but her prison cage is right beside pascal, “I’m sure he doesn’t know me…. Hmmm it will be very difficult to get him on my side” Qu
PASCAL“I…. I… didn’t do it …. Joan! Why will you accuse me of all these!” I spat back at her, my eyes squinting at her, I was trying to give her our special code sign to cover up for me and I will in return help her.But I guess I had become useless to her, she eyed me furiously and looked away, tapping her foot restlessly onAlpha Caspian’s expensive tiled floor.Katherine had said her own part of the story and left me in a tight corner, same with Joan. The two women were smart and I wish I could lie effortlessly in the Alpha face like Joan Isdoing right now, so I strengthened my resolve and moved closer to the Alpha.“I didn't do all of these things Alpha caspian… Joan is a pretentious liar … I…” the guard who moved swiftly behind me forced me on my kneel before I could catch my breath, cutting off the lies coming out of my mouth.“You are dead!” Joan mouthed at me, instantly I knew I’m in trouble, I shook my head at my self pitifully, I couldn’t even dare look at Alpha Caspian, he
