Chapter 198Epilogue (new year)Tanya POV"Be careful Derrick," I screamed as he ran down the valley after his brother Artie. I would have chanced after him but I was heavy with my fourth child.Yeah, I was pregnant. Daisy was with her father playing tag with each other while I sat down on the picnic mat watching them.It has been a beautiful year so far and we were expecting spring soon. The snow had dried down a bit but some places were still damp. And the air smelled of fresh flowers ready to bloom."Mhm, what a wonderful life," I said to myself breathing in the cool air. We were on a family vacation. Arturo had suggested it last year after we had attended Eva's wedding.Ella and Eva had birthed their first children and were currently on a vacation too at windland. A nice warm place to enjoy the spring. I had insisted on travelling to a slightly cold region as my body had been reacting to temperatures lately. Arturo had become more gentle and kind than before and he cherished our
CHAPTER 1Tanya’s POV“I now pronounce you husband and wife. "The day those words were uttered in the presence of my family and other respected people of the Three Werewolf Kingdom, was the day my life took a turn for the worst.Not having a choice and wanting to please my father, I agreed to marry him without a thought of what I might actually want for myself. Despite everything that was being said about him, I didn't think twice about sacrificing my forever just for my father to be happy and satisfied.After all, he had trained me to believe that women were subject to men and they had to do what men instructed them to.I followed him home and that was when the real hell started. I still remembered my father's words to me as I unknowingly got into the car that would take me to my misery.“Have a sweet and romantic marriage!"Her wedding might have been anything but romantic. Her misery started from there.Not only did he leave me alone that night, he locked me in a room with no beds
CHAPTER 2Tanya’s POVI had been sitting and staring at one spot for an hour. I felt numb and empty.From the first day that he had raped me, taking away my virginity had done some thing to me. It made me feel worthless and dirty.These days, it was even worse because I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't feel the pain, the pleasure and the way my heart clenched.I really wanted to feel something, anything but my body had grown a defensive mechanism against the abuse which had numb my feelings.The hitting, the rape and the way he insulted and downgraded me, they were now like mere words to meAfter he finished and stood up from me, leaving me as empty as I was when he came in, I didn't know what to do.Shout? No one would hear me and even if they did, they wouldn't do anything.Cry? I had cried more than enough and I was growing tired of it.Run away? With whose help?Kill myself? No, my father would hate me for it.In his eyes, there were obviously more things to do with my life like
CHAPTER 3Tanya’s POVI was bored out of my wits and it felt like I was going crazy.At first, I had been sleeping to block out the boredom and of how worthless I felt but now, I have gotten tired of sleeping.Now, I couldn't even fall asleep again because I knew that the time for him to come home was close. Which meant the maid would soon bring my food.I thought about my situation. Would it be better for me to go ahead with my father's plan and kill Arturo? Not just killing him but sourcing out more information from him.My father wanted Arturo's pack. According to him, life would be better if he ruled the three Werewolf Kingdoms. And in order to do that, he wanted to dig out Arturo’s secret that could bring him down.“The bastard is cursed either way so he's bound to die a miserable death. No one likes him and they're all afraid of him. I'm the perfect leader that everyone needs." That was my father’s favorite statement.I wanted to tell my father that life didn't work that way, bu
CHAPTER 4Tasha’s POV My stomach dropped as I heard footsteps approaching. There was something about them that made me so scared and I hid the books under my pillow.The door swung open and I could see that there was something wrong. Ever since the days I had seen his face, I never turned off the light.I could see that there was anger in his eyes from the way he looked at me and frowned. I watched as his hands moved to the front of his trousers to undo his belt and I knew what followed.my body no longer has the reaction it used to when he was around me. I no longer trembled, no longer avoided his eyes, no longer longed for breath.After all, what was the worst he could do to me aside from death? I slowly removed my gown and lay on the bed. The ceiling had become my favorite attraction every time he was on top of me.He got on the bed and pulled my legs open. He hated how I was looking away from him. It was like I found him hideous.“Look at me." He ordered.I didn't respond because
Chapter 5I felt a weight lifted from my body. That was when I noticed Arturos putting on his clothes, I wasemotionless, and my hate for him kept growing but there was something about him I could notplace my hands on.I watched Arturos until he left my room, I quickly took my shower to remove the dirty smell ofArturos from my body, and I removed the bed sheets before reading the book I collected fromthe library.The first page of the book seems interesting. It is somehow related to me, and I believe I willfind solace in it. Who knows I might find a way to make Arturo fall in love with me so that I canexecute my plan and be free at last."What are you thinking, my lady?" One of the servants that told me about the alphas library wasthe one that jotted me out of my mind with her question."Nothing, just that I find this book interesting, if you don't mind what is your name.""I thought you would never ask; my name is Dianella, please don't ask any questions again and
Chapter 6I got a grip hold of myself not to scream their name, I was joyful seeing them. I looked around for Alpha, and I saw how busy he was with his meeting.I went closer to my friend tapping their shoulder. That was when they notice my presence and they scream at the top of their voices which draws everyone's attention to us."Ella, Hannah, and Eva, you guys came to visit me, I am so happy seeing you guys." I was so happy as I hugged them repeatedly. Eva, an inquisitive lady, kept looking at me as if something was wrong with me."You are Alphas bride yet, I can't find the glow on you," Eva let out."Eva, I am fine, as you can see the alpha is treating me very well."I was still talking when Hannah dragged me to one side of the room, she scrutinized me from my head to my toe then she folded her hands across as chest.I know she knows me better than anyone else she can see through me and I am trying hard not to allow any tears to betray me so I maintain eye contact with her."Tenya
Chapter 7"Your friends can stay for the night.""What!" We chorused.•••Arturo Pov I was reading some files in my office when Frank's mind linked me saying some ladies need my urgent attention which makes me laugh so hard at myself.Since I was cursed, no lady wants to have anything for someone as old as me, especially not a lady. Maybe he is mistaking a woman for a lady but I would meet them.I asked Frank to keep them in the meeting hall since I would be having a meeting there. On getting to the meeting hall, Frank announced my presence and everyone present bowed.The ladies came forward with their heads bowed, I asked them to raise their heads and their faces looked familiar to me but I couldn't place my hands on where I had seen their faces."State your intentions," I commanded as I watched them shiver at my voice."We are here to see your wife, the Luna," One of them retorted."Who are you to her?"They all introduce themselves by their names and pack alongside their father's
