I race down to the palace at once without looking back at anything. I feel so happy that he is finally going to change the terms for the selection of the maiden that is to be my mate. The moment I arrive at the palace, I race down to his chambers where I'm sure I'm going to find him immediately. A smile form on my lips as I slowly knock on the door. I get no response at first and I am starting to get impatience. "Why can't he just reply immediately!" I wonder with my hand scratching at my back. It itch so bad. I knock again on the door and i hear a sound from inside."Who is that? I'm coming!" He responds and immediately, a smile forms on my face."It's me father... One of the guards told me you sent for me!" I say at once, my face still maintain the smile that's always peculiar to it. I do not know why I feel so happy when he hasn't even said anything in relation to what's making me happy."You can come on in. I've been waiting for you all evening. what took you so long, Nikolia?" H
PATRICK'S POVHer face shine with shock the moment she hear those words from me but I do not give a damn about her and I do not make any effort at hiding it. She wears a bloodshot look on her face while I stare back with indifference."Did you just say you are going to get yourself another mate?" She ask with unbelieve. Perhaps she thinks he is making a joke out of it and she has to ask."Yes, you hear me right. I'm going to take a new luna and there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe that will teach you a lesson, one that you have so adamantly refuse to learn.""And then what happens to me? What will all your other mates do to me?" She inquire in the same black mailing tone she makes use of when she's speaking with him, with her Mouth pout together. her hands are clasped together and she look like a neglected wife."Nothing is going to happen to you, got it? You aren't the first mate I'll take and tell me, did anything happen to you?" I ask her with my eyes on her. "But, you can
WINTER'S POVI am at the house that belongs to the slaves and I have just woken up from my sleep. I stretch myself, slowly opening my eyes. My body is still trying to boot into the day when I hear a noise from outside. A loud wail escapes from my lips as I wonder who it is that derives so much joy in taking away my peace. I rise to my feet hesitantly and walk outside of the house where I can hear the loud noise from."What's going on here?" I wonder aloud with my hand holding my head. I am left in shock at the sight that welcome me. I try to understand what's going on but I just can't. I see a boy on the bare Floor and it appears to me that life is out of him already. I squeeze myself into the midst of the people with a sigh on my lips. From where I stand now, I can get a clearer view of what's going on. A middle aged woman is yelling at the top of her voice while rolling inside the sand that covers the entire place."What is the problem with her? Why is acting that way?" I wonder alo
Winter's POV I am in shock as I try to understand why she has to bring my name into it. I fix my gaze on her, wondering why she called my name. Almost everyone stare at me and I feel a wave of embarrassment wash through me. "Why do she have to call me into This?" I wonder with an angry face. I feel a strong urge to hit her on the face after the useless prank she pulled on me but then i remember that the punch will have no effect on her but on the boy who she would punch. "What do you mean by winter? What business do I have With you?"I ask in a thick and Baritone voice hoping that it will somehow scare her off me but I am mistaken.. She laugh.. a loud Laugh that echo in the air, infuriating me so much that I can barely keep it in. "What will the people think of me? I'm a witch and I am the cause of what happened to the boy?" I wonder within myself with tears filling my eyes. "Winter or what do they call you? Can't you Just do what she said you should do so she can leave my son? Or
Just at that moment, Hunter passes right beside us and flash me a wide grin that reveal his dentures. I smile back, waving at him. "Good morning!" I greet, taking my eyes and attention off Nikolai who stands still with his Hands akimbo. He has a frown etch right into his face and it make him kinda funny that I cannot help but Laugh when I notice it. "Good morning, winter! How are you doing?" He inquire and then turn his attention to Nikolai whose anger can be clearly seen even though he does everything for it not to show. "Good morning sir," He greets and doesn't even wait for a response from him before he proceeds with his conversation with her. "I'm fine and okay... How are you doing? I guess you must be doing great!" I respond in a way that Nikolia has to cough to remind me that he is still there. "I'm doing okay as well.. I guess I should leave you to your conversation! We'll discuss later on. Do have a nice day..." He says and waves at me, leaving before I get the chance to w
"I'll be there in a jiffy, you can leave,"I say to him with a wide grin that reveal my sparkling denture. I can he is wondering what the Problem is with me that me but I do not do give a damn about him or what he feels. I watch him leave and the moment I hear the shutting sound of the door, I hurry to my feet and into the bathroom where I am to take my bath.It isn't up to ten minutes I spend taking my bathroom. I do not understand why I am so happy about the fact that I am about to take a new wife. I am almost fifty years of age and I am still as excited or even more excited than my son."Well, it is true that a man can't change his nature even though he tries to..." I say as an excuse to my promiscuous nature. With three wives and numerous kids there is obviously no reason why I should take another wife.I wave the thought to the back of ny head as I get dressed. I stare at my wardrobe at a corner of my room, confused as to what I should wear. I feel a strong urge to call in my ward
PATRICK'S POVAs I sit in the carriage that drives along the road that leads from the palace to other parts of the clan various thoughts runs through my mind and non of them seem to be so important. "Why am I even taking another mate?" I ask myself with a frown on my face, one that makes me look less handsome than I want to be. I heave a sigh as I am unable to get an answer for it. I cannot think of any plausible Reason for that but then I immediately shift it to the back of my mind, thinking of the kind of mate I am going to get this time around. "Damn! She must be young, sexy and beautiful," I say to myself while licking my lips in enthusiasm. A smile form on my lips - a devilish one at that. I suddenly feel irritated as I feel the carriage is moving more slower than I want it to move.."Can't you get this thing to move more fast than it already is?" I snap from where I am and immediately the horses neigh like they are responding to my request. I chuckle as a smile forms on my li
As we continue on the road, only one thing races through my mind and that is for us to arrive as soon as possible. I feel so uncomfortable sitting just beside him. I take a deep sigh with my hands together like I am waiting for my judgement. He places his hand suddenly on my thigh. I freeze as I never expect he will do such a thing."Are you okay?" He inquires when he notices the thick frown I am wearing. Not so thick but thick enough for him to notice."Yes sir, I'm okayyy... I am..." I say at once, stuttering uncontrollably. At a single glance, you'll think there's someone on my tail and that's causing me to speak the way I am speaking."Are you sure you are fine?" He asks again with a wide grin this time around as he moves his hand further into my thigh. I shut my eyes tight as I think of what to do. I realize there is just nothing I can do to him."Yes I am fine sir... I think I should alight here..." I blurt out with bated breath. I have had enough of his antics on me."Oh, tha
