Daciana’s POV
“This is going to be the biggest stage that you have ever stepped on since you debuted,” Vera, my manager and best friend, said with an excited voice. Few days ago, I suddenly got an invitation from the royal family to perform in a concert that they have organized. I had to take it to my father for confirmation and after he called his friend who is a councilman, it was really confirmed. Turned out they were organizing a concert to distract the people from all the crazy things that had been happening. Everyone is aware of the various attacks on the different villages and towns by the rogues. “Girl, are you with me?” Vera said while tapping me on the head with an annoyed expression. “Sorry V, I was just thinking of something” I apologized with a smile. Bang! My room door was suddenly pushed open with force, causing it to crash on the wall. Sasha, walked in with her head held up high while staring at me with a condescending expression. How can I ever get rid of this diva, if murder wasn't a crime, I would have killed her already. Sasha is the daughter of the Alpha of werecove, my hometown and unluckily for me, my father is his Beta. Her father lets her do whatever she wants because her mother died early, even hurting innocent people. Our father's are best friends but we are not even on smiling terms. I don't know what's wrong with her, she's always competing with me and trying to take whatever I like. When I started my music career, she also decided to become a singer but after a huge embarrassment in front of a lot of people, she finally dropped the idea. After five years, she finally understood that she can't compete with me anymore, so she created an antifan group, where she uses the members to smear my name but it never has any effect on me, as most of her group members are snobby rich kids with chaotic private lives. “I am sorry big sis, I tried to stop her but she pushed but she pushed me out of the way” Gina, my little assistant, who is also my adopted sister said with a crying tone. I immediately got off the sofa and walked to where she was standing to check on her. “Ginie, are you hurt? Why are you covering your face?” I asked her with a worried tone. “I am fine big sis” she said while avoiding eye contact with me. I immediately knew she was lying and pulled her hand off her face, when I saw the red finger prints on her face and some nails scratches, I gestured for her to sit on the sofa. “How dare you lay your hands on my sister?” I asked Sasha with a serious tone. “Hey, lower your voice when you speak to me, I am the princess of this town” she said arrogantly while snapping her fingers in my face. Slap! I returned the slap that she gave to my sister to her and she just held her face in shock while staring at me. “Daci, how dare you hit me?!” She yelled like she wanted to blow off the roof. “You seem to be getting old and forgetful, I told you that you can insult me and fight with me but you should never dare to try it on the people that I care about” I said with a serious tone while staring in her eyes. She subconsciously took a few steps back in fear, I know that I can be very scary when I am angry and she can also testify to it as well. “She is not even your biological sister, she is just an orphan that your father picked up from the border after a rogue attack. She doesn't fit in here, just look at her brown skin color and extremely curly hair” Sasha said while staring at Gina with her eyes dripping with disdain. “I have no problem with where she came from or her looks, the only thing I know is that she is my sister and I will protect her for the rest of my life” I said with a firm tone. “So handsome” Vera said from behind me which made me laugh and some of my anger was dispelled in the process. “Big sis, let's continue parking, we don't want to delay our flight” Gina said with a smile. “Hmph, a man that is always walking around with a girl younger than him, all in the name of being her manager is definitely not clean” Sasha suddenly said but Vera held my shoulder to stop me from responding to her. Vera is a girl from another village that was also rescued by my father, she was fifteen when my father rescued her and at first glance we all conclude that she was a teenage boy but later on, she revealed that she was actually a girl and told us about the circumstances that made her to start dressing up as a boy. My father told her to do what makes her happy and she said she wants to continue dressing up like a boy as she was already used to it. Her secret is only known to me, my father and Gina. So every other person sees her as a man till this day. When Sasha saw that no one was paying attention to her, she stamped her tweets on the floor angrily like a spoiled brat. “My father said that I should go with you to the capital” she finally said what brought her here in the first place. “Your father or you went to him crying and begging to go with me?” I asked her with a smirk. “Who wants to go anywhere with you? He is just worried that I might meet people with bad intentions if I go alone,” she said arrogantly. “Then just stay in Werecove, there is no need for you to come with us. If someone should hear you now, they will think that you are my biggest fan” I said while still maintaining my smirk. “My father said that I should come with you, are you defying the Alpha's order?” She said with her nose raised high. “Go pack your things, we are leaving by twelve noon” Vera said with a serious tone. “That's more like it, just watch how I make the crown prince fall in love with me and become the next queen of Lycantropolis” Sasha said with an exaggerated smile. “You are really crazy, dreaming of marrying the crown prince, after shamelessly rejecting your mate” I sneered at her. “Say whatever you want but just know that the day I become queen will be the day your music career ends,” she said arrogantly before walking out of the room and slamming the door. “What a bitch” Gina cursed angrily. “Words, young lady” I said while giving her a warning glare. “Sorry big sis” she apologized and I nodded with a smile. We had to tolerate her because her father is a very shady person, he acts like he cares every time we report Sasha's misbehavior but he never does anything to correct her. I still remember the last time I fought with her and scratched her face. He acted like everything was fine but increased my father's workload until he broke down. It was a warning to me and my sisters and I will definitely take revenge on him for all the suffering he has been putting my father through. It's only a matter of time, let's just wait and watch.Daciana's POV It's been two months since the banquet and everything has been relatively peaceful.The King and Queen have not brought up the issue of finding another wife for Logan as they haven't seen another candidate that they think is worthy enough to enter the royal family.Halsey had asked me for help with choosing a dress for her highschool dance. It took us an hour plus to finally settle on a dress.I walked through the hallway, as I made my way back to my quarters but suddenly saw something shocking.Are my eyes playing a trick on me?I cleaned my eyes with a handkerchief and saw that I wasn't hallucinating, they were right in front of me.I slowly walked towards them, trying to be as quiet as possible.Sasha had her hands wrapped around the man's neck and they were embracing. I couldn't see the man's face and I strained my neck to get a better view.He definitely wasn't Prince Karl, so who was he?I was too busy trying to see who the man was and accidentally bumped into the
Daciana's POV "That’s a lie.” I said as my eyes darkened with fury.They have really gone too far this time, I Won't let them ruin my reputation."I swear on my honor, I saw it with my own eyes.” Celeste said with her hand placed on her chest."Be careful with your words, Celeste.” Logan stepped forward, his voice dangerously low."There is only one way to settle this. Search everyone.” The Queen shook her head in disappointment.Gasps filled the air."My Queen,surely there is no need…” One of the noble Lord's protested.The Queen held up her hand before he could finish his sentence."I will not have a thief in my palace.” she said with a commanding tone.The guards immediately began searching the guests, starting from the lower-ranking nobles and working their way up.When it got to my turn, the Queen's personal guard, who had bumped into me earlier walked over.“May I?” He asked with a courteous voice.What's with the attitude, were they expecting me to throw a tantrum?"I have n
Logan's POV I made sure I had plans in place for any form of scheme before coming to the banquet.My parents couldn't be trusted and they are always looking for ways to embarrass me at such events.As soon as I arrived with Daciana, I looked at the luxurious decorations.Golden chandeliers illuminated the banquet hall, and the scent of roses and fine wine filled the air.Nobles from across the kingdom were gathered, dressed in their finest silks and jewels, offering lavish gifts to my mother.My mother was smiling so and being as pretentious as always.Daciana stood beside me with an unreadable expression as she watched my mother bask in the attention. Every move, every glance, felt like a calculated performance.“She is such an actress” she whispered to me.“My thoughts exactly” I said and she chuckled.I was about to lead her to a quiet place when Celeste walked over to us with her father.“Prince Logan, it's been quite a while since we last met” Her father said with a smile while e
Sasha's POV I slowly opened my eyes and saw Karl’s handsome face at the other end of the king size bed.He always makes sure to keep his distance from me even when he sleeps.I slowly moved closer to his side, so I could admire him up close but as soon as I touched his face, he suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.“I told you not to have any thoughts about me” he said as he forcefully pushed me away.I fell heavily on the floor and felt a sharp pain in my back.“It seems like you have forgotten why I married you in the first place” he said while glaring at me, not caring if I was in pain or not.I slowly tried to get up from the floor, using the bedside table as a support but unfortunately for me, the photo frame on it fell and the glass broke.I stared at the broken frame in horror, I couldn't even summon the courage to look at Karl's face.“How dare you?” He roared angrily.He jumped off the bed and picked up the broken frame without being careful. The glass cut his hands but he s
Daciana's POV "That’s refreshing to hear," the king said, taking a sip of his wine.He looked at Logan with a smile before looking at me and he could barely hide his disgust."Obedience is a virtue in a future ruler. It’s also important for a future queen." His gaze flickered toward Celeste.I sneered in my mind as I knew what he was driving at."Then I suppose I'm failing in that department. I was never good at being what people expected.” I let out a dramatic sigh and picked at my food. “Not everyone is privileged to be raised with all the proper etiquettes and knowledge” The Queen said while taking a sip of her wine.She was openly calling me a country bumpkin, who knew nothing about etiquettes."That’s understandable. The life of a royal isn’t for everyone. It requires sacrifice, discipline... and knowing when to let go of things that don’t work.” Celeste tilted her head, feigning innocence.I continued eating, completely ignoring her and her face darkened in anger."Perhaps, Da
Daciana's POV I felt so happy when I heard that everything went as planned.Who could have thought that a man, who seems as caring as the King would have such an evil heart.“I just received a message from my father, and he wants us to come to the main chamber for a family dinner” Logan informed me as I rested my head on his chest.“So, we are going to put on an act for them right?” I asked with a chuckle.“Of course, we can't disappoint them,” He replied with a smile.We remained in bed until 5:30 PM, then we got ready for dinner.I chose a royal blue off shoulder gown, it was not too tight and showed the right amount of curves.“What do you think?” I asked Logan, who was done getting ready.“You look beautiful in anything my love” he said with a smile.I packed my hair in a neat bun and added a blue hair clip.Knock knock!There was a sudden knock on the door and Logan went to open it.“Hey bro” I heard Martin's voice as soon as the door was opened.I walked over to them and saw th
