OCTAVIA POV
As the church doors open up, I take in a deep breath, preparing myself for the task ahead as mom leads me down the isle. I have longed dreamt of this day, walking down the isle in a fabulous dress, being lead by my mom to my prince charming, but this wasn't what I had envisioned. I was getting married to the most beautiful man ever but deep down I knew I was offering myself to the beast. I look to my left and there Nick is seated with a hideous frown on his face. Why he bothered coming is still a mystery to me. I walk down to the altar and mom hands me over to him with the words " Protect her" before returning to her seat. Eren takes my hands in his and with a contempted smile he whispers the words "You make the most beautiful bride muse" ' Muse' I have heard him time without number refer to a woman as muse but I had assumed she was his girlfriend, but now I am having my doubts. Could this marriage thing have been a long time cour to get me entangled in this sharade. " Dearly beloved we are gathered here to withness the union between two individuals who are in love....." The priest starts speaking before my mind drifts off to paradise. A world where I can finally be free to be with the man my heart yawns for. " Octavia, answer honey" I hear Eren call out to me in a panic, consequently pulling me out of my thoughts. " What?" I ask confused, I wasn't paying any attention to a word the priest said. " The priest asked if you wanted to marry me?. You do, don't you?" He ask in a panic as his hands starts shaking uncontrollably in mine, and a worrisome frown rest upon his charming face. " Please answer" He beseeches me as the vibrations continue. At this point I look to my mom who is sitting there all smiles and Luna Lora who is shooting angry daggers at me with her eyes before looking at the confused demeanor. I look back at my soon to be husband and can see worrying building up on his face as the crowd wait in anticipation. Never before have I seen Eren lose his composure like this and I am starting to really get scared. " I repeat. Do you Octavia Vishop take Eren Yeager to be your lawfully wedding husband. To love and to hold. In sickness and in health, till death do you part?" The priest ask once more and I am left speechless. Unsure of what to say. I can't say no, that would mean death for mom, but saying Yes would mean my death. So I am forced to give the only logical answer " Yes. Yes I will" I inform and for a second I can see a tear down escape his eyes as he pulls me into a hug, thanking me continuely. This right here is all new to me. Eren has always been so quiet and cold to me. Showing little or no emotion in the past, but today he is all excited and happy like a little kid on Christmas morning. When it was time for the kiss, he almost ate my lips up. I practically had to push him away, to catch my breath. Which got me thinking how is tonight going to be, with me and him behind closed door. I am not sure I can let him put his hands on me, talkless of letting him into my womanhood. The wedding was a success, everyone was happy, except for me that is. Eren was so happy that he did hundreds thousands dollar giveaway. Day past and night fell and we had to return home. Immediately we entered the building he dashed into his room without a word. I was then lead into a new, supersized bedroom. It was the must beautiful thing I had ever seen. The walls were covered with all types of portraits and paintings of me. Some that I have never seen before. The corset was filled with the most expensive of clothings, shoes, accessories and bags. My wish list to be exact, everything I have ever wanted since my adolescence days. The bed was neatly decorated with the words " WELCOME HOME MUSE" " Who did all of this?" I ask nonplussed as my eyes search the room. " The alpha did. He hand painted all these portraits of you" Nadia, my newly appointed servant informs with a proud smile. " How long has this room been here?" I ask still in my confused state. " 10 years Luna. He has been adding stuff everyday since then" She confesses, making me irritated. " Can't you all see that man is obsessed with me. He has been stalking me for ten good years and for what?. This?" I ask gesturing at the room. " Forgive my ignorance Luna, but who do you speak of?" She doubts with a confused frown. " None of your business. Please leave, I wouldn't like to be left alone" I inform, take a seat on my king sized bed. " Of course Luna, but that would be after I have had you cleaned up" She says with a smile " Thanks but I am pretty sure I can wash myself just right" I politely decline as I start undoing my wedding hair. " I know you can Luna, but you are now a married woman, and there are certain expectations that you have to reach since the alpha has to eat from your honey pot" she informs arrogantly, yet in a calm manner. " Are you asking me to let you wash my vagina?" I ask confused with a laugh " If that would make his highness's pleasure increase significantly, then I would love nothing more" She says, annoying the hell out of me. Is she in anyway calling me unclean, like I can't wash my own vagina. " Get out of my room" I command bitterly " But Luna...." She tries objecting but I cut in. " No buts, leave" I yell " As you wish Luna. I will be waiting if you need me" She says abasely with a bow before walking out and I slam the door to her face. ' How annoying'- I grumble as I dash into the bathroom and take a bath, before slipping into a short transparent pink night gown, which left nothing to the imagination. Well, at least it's comfortable, and it's my favorite color. I say my prayers and just when I am about to get into bed, I hear a knock at the door, and I know exactly who it is, Nadia. " I said I don't need your help, washing my vagina" I grumble as I open the door without looking, only to find Eren standing there in an unbuttoned night robe. Eren has always been an extremely handsome man, the most attractive I have seen infact but tonight he is breathtaking. His physique is a masterful sculpture of power and agility, is broad and Herculean, muscles rippling under taut, olive-toned skin which is perfectly complimented by his short sleeve black robe. His face, etched with the lines of countless battles, but yet carries a stoic beauty. His jaw, strong and determined, is softened only by the meticulous trim of his beard, adding a refined ruggedness to his appearance. Above all this, his eyes, dark and penetrating, seem to hold countless secrets and the depths of his resolve. They have the watchful quality of an eagle, missing nothing within the area he dominates. His hair, a mane as dark as a raven’s wing, cascades past his shoulders in a wave of rebellion that contrasts sharply with his otherwise strategic and calculated demeanor. Dampened with water, It’s in these locks that one can sense the wildness that lies just beneath his controlled surface. Wrapped around his right arm, extending from shoulder to wrist, is an elaborate tapestry of tattoo ink of wolf held back by chains. " Oh, it's you" I exclaim confused, I wasn't expecting he would come over tonight. ' What am I to do'- I panic from within " That wasn't the good evening I was expecting from my wife" He says with an abject laugh " Forgive my rudeness alpha. Please do come in" I apologize abasely, before reluctantly gesturing for him to enter. Although I don't want him around I can't be rude, he still remains my husband. He gaze upon me with desire, before walking pass me to my bed and take a seat. He doesn't say a word, instead he just keeps staring at me like I was some kind of a tasty snack. His gaze is so intense that I am starting to feel really uncomfortable, especially since my night dress is quite relieving. " It's really chilling in here. I would put on a coat" I inform as I try to walk to my corset but he pulls me by the waist, onto his thighs. " No, I want you naked" He whispers seductively in my ear as he buries his lips on the nape of my neck, pressing me against his hardness. " Eren please I am not in the mood" I beseech him as I try to stand to my feet but he doesn't release his hold on me. The mare feel of his hands is both arousing and disgusting. " But I want you. Don't worry I promise to be gentle" He says as he pushes me to the bed, positioning himself on top of me, as he starts kissing, and licking my neck down to my breast. " Eren, l don't want this. Please stop" I beseech him but he doesn't relent in his effort. " Stay still. I promise it won't hurt" He whispers into my ears before gently nibbling on it and move his hands towards my pantie. It's now obvious to me that he is not going to stop any moment soon. I can't be put through the odile of enduring his sexual assault against. Without a second thought I push him off me, causing him to fall off the bed, before I slap him across the face. " I said I am not in the mood. Stop forcing your self on me, flirty rapist" I insult in a yell not giving a fuck about the consequences of my actions. It's only when I see the anger on his face that I realize the mistake I just made. The hate and anger in his eyes is immeasurable, as he clutches his jaw bones. Eren was known to be a man who barely got angry but once he got angry it could only mean disaster. " I'm sorry....." I say in a panic, before he hijacks me by the neck, pulling me off my feet. " How dare you touch me. No woman has ever hit me before" He yells, squeezing the life out of me. I am done for. God help me. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ NICK POV Life they say is a game and only players win. Gamble away your cards and let them win for you. Last night I laid down all my cards when I let my mate Octavia have sex with Eren. " What is up with that hideous frown son. Shouldn't you be celebrating?" Mom questions as she bashes into my room. " I am mom. I am just wondering , what do you think they are doing right now?" I ask nonplussed in my worried state " Guess he is probably putting a baby inside of her, just like we wanted" She says nonchalantly, which irritates the hell out of me. " Mom stop, no one wants to hear you say something like that about their woman" I remind with an irritated frown. " Your woman?. You rejected her remember. You offered her to Eren" She reminds with a frown " I know mother, it just feels weird knowing that she is in another man's arms right now" I explain my grievances. " Don't let your emotions get the better part of you son. You know what we stand to gain from this alliance" She reminds in a bit to comfort me. " I know mom. I just feel irritated by the fact that Eren always has to have his way. He is always taking away everything that I want. From being the first Lycan this pack has ever seen, to being the youngest ever alpha, then being CEO of a multi billion dollar company to possessing my mate as his, and now she is going to bore his children. To think that he is a madman, how can he be better than me, mom?" I ask with a bitter taste in my mouth. " Compose yourself son. You know what we planned. Don't lose sight of our goal. It is just a matter of time before we get rid of that pest, Eren. Remember the plan Nick. We just have to get him to impregnate Octavia, then we'll kill him and you can then marry Octavia and take over as alpha" She reminds " I know mom, but I feel as though there was another way to go about our plan" I explain " And what other way do you propose?" She doubts " I don't know, maybe we would have hired him a surrogate or something, not my mate" I complain bitterly " Octavia is the most convenient woman for this job. First of all she is helpless, and desperate. She has no connections, plus she is the only woman Eren has ever loved" She informs " What about my own feelings mom?" I question hurt, no one has any idea how hard it was to watch Eren penetrate my mate. If I didn't take her first I would have probably killed him. " Here we go again. Why was I cursed with you as a son. How many times have I told you to use your brain not your heart. Didn't I tell you not to fall in love with her?. You were supposed to only seduce her ,so that she would be inclined to help us get rid of Eren when the time was right" She yells bitterly. " Gosh you really are good for nothing. You don't have a wolf, you're not hardworking, you can't even father a child and yet you are so stupid" She insults " Listen son. You have to get your act together. Don't ruin things for us. Eren wouldn't mate with any other woman than Octavia because he loves her. You know how obsessed he is with her right. All the sacrifices he has made for her over the years. Remember she is the only reason why we still have control over Eren. Try to control your jealousy just for a little longer" She beseeches me. It was no secret that Eren has been obsessed with Octavia from day one. I remember him single handedly sponsored her education, pretending it was a scholarship. He paid for her rent, clothings, medical bills and even her mom's medication are still paid by him, but she doesn't know that, and she doesn't have to, because if she knew then all our plans would be ruined. Mom wouldn't have anything over Octavia and I would be left in the mud like some poor helpless loser. " I saw the doctor earlier. He said Eren isn't getting better. His nightmares are slowly creeping into his reality" I inform, in an effort to lighten up the mood. " As I hoped. That's what happens when you mix medications with hallucinogens" She says arrogantly with a nemesising smirk " You need to see his cage, it has been punched to ceverines. I almost feel sorry for the poor kid, his lycan has gone mad with rage" " And yet you don't feel sorry mother, why is that?" I ask, making her chuckle " You make me laugh. You know how much I hate that kid. His mom stole your father from me" She says with a bitter frown. " I see you still haven't forgiven your death sister after all this years" I voice " Of course not, I never forgive my enemies. I would never forgive Lydia and that pig Carmel. Octavia is going to have to pay for her mother's sins" She informs bitterly ##############LORA'S POVI watched with great amusement as Octavia writhed on the floor, her face contorted in despair. A broad smile spread across my face as I envisioned a life without Octavia's constant presence. Suddenly, she sprang to her feet, letting out a loud, disgusting burp before bursting into laughter. I was taken aback by her actions, nonplussed by the sudden turn of events. But my confusion was short-lived."I'm so sorry, everyone," Octavia apologized, still chuckling. "I think the babies just kicked. Sorry for the scene, guys. It's just that they've never kicked before." The court erupted in joyful laughter, and I was left dumbstruck."What's happening?" I asked, trying to process the situation. "I thought you were poisoned or something?" Octavia burst into laughter again, her eyes sparkling with amusement."What? Poisoned? That's preposterous!" she dismissed, waving her hand. "What's up with you, Mom? Your grandkids are kicking. You should be happy." I forced a smile, trying to con
Lora's POVI walk into Octavia bedroom to see a scene that leaves me in utter dismay, Octavia shameless feeding Eren like a baby. They both of them are seated on the floor, a broad smile on her face a she takes a bite from the same spoon.How revolting!, does she know that Eren is disgusting madman. I can't even stand being next to him, talk less of sharing food with him. But then again I shouldn't expect much from Octavia, she is a filthy pig just like him after all."Mom, good morning" She says with excitement, as she rises to her feet dusting off food crumbs from her fabulous beaded blue dress. I guess it's true what the say, don't give pearls to pigs."Eren greet mom" She shamelessly ask her deranged husband, who obeys immediately, Goodness, even his voice annoys me. "How are you my children?. Hope you two had a good night" I ask with an abject smile. Who knew kindness could be so difficult, am I practically dieing slowly."We did mom, hope you did too?" She probes still maintain
OCTAVIA POV I walk into the police station, my heart still racing from the news I received earlier. I'm greeted by Officer James, who leads me to a quiet room in the back."Luna Octavia, I'm so sorry......" he says, his expression somber but I cut in feeling a surge of anger and frustration. How could this have happened? I was just talking to him a few hours ago."How did it happen?" I demand, trying to keep my voice steady."We're not entirely sure yet," Officer James says. "But it looks like he was murdered. We're investigating now."I take a deep breath, trying to process the news. This is a disaster. Doc Eric was the only one who knew the truth about Eren's mental condition. Now he's gone, and I'm left with more questions than answers.I look at Officer James, my eyes narrowing. "I need to speak with you about Doc Eric's murder," I say, my voice firm." What about Luna?" He questions intrigued." I think I know who killed him" I confess, whispering." And who might that be?" He
NADIA POV' Eren, Eren, Eren!!! that little madman is a lot smarter than I thought. One assassination attempt and he is back in her arms. He even has the guts to sleep on her lap.I walk into the living room, my eyes scanning the space until they land on Benis, who's lounging on the couch, a smirk on her face."Benis, we need to talk," I say, my voice low and even, as I scramble the environment searching for potential gossip mongers. Benis raises an eyebrow, but she doesn't say a word, all she does is just gestures for me to take a seat, to which I oblige.I quickly take a sit down beside her, my eyes locked on her "Thank you for your time. I am really grateful," I bit around the bush unsure of how to begin convincing her." Stop beating around the bush and go straight to the point" She says with a sigh in boredom."I know you're not happy about Eren and Octavia's relationship," I say, my voice steady.Benis's expression changes, her eyes narrowing. "What are you talking about, Nadia
LORA POVBAD LUCK!!! That is exactly what this is. I thought yesterday was bad but today is even worse. It's barely 7 am and I am already having the worst day of my life. " Lora, I am talking to you. You need to find a way to get my out of this hell hole. I can't take it anymore" Eric says in a whisper, his voice laced with anger and displeasure. I roll my eyes, trying to contain my frustration.Why am I not surprised, Eric has always been an impatient individual who is easily swayed by his emotions."Eric, I'm working on it, okay? I've been trying to find a way to get you out of there for weeks, but it's not easy. The security is tight, and I have to be careful not to arouse suspicion." I glance around the dimly lit room, making sure no one is listening "Besides, I thought we agreed that you would keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention to yourself." Eric's voice deepens wit anger. "A low profile? Are you kidding me? I've been stuck in this place for weeks, my wife woul
OCTAVIA POV I'm standing in the hospital hall, my eyes fixed on Eren's pale face through the transparent door, as the doctor attends to him. My heart is still racing with fear and anger, my palms are sweating from immense suspense but I'm trying to stay calm for Eren's sake.My lower abdomen is killing me, I feel like bursting into tears, it hurts so bad, I can barely endure it any longer but I dare not shade a tears.My husband is still unconscious and bruised, the last thing he needs is a wife who can't control her emotions.The doctor is checking Eren's vitals, his face set in a serious expression. I can see the concern etched on his face, and it only adds to my anxiety.I tremble in my spot, tensed as the door makes his way out of the room."What's his condition, doc?" I ask almost immediately, my voice barely above a whisper.The doctor looks up at me, his eyes sympathetic. "He's suffered a severe concussion and some internal injuries," he explains. My heart immediately skips
LORA POV It was finally the next day, time for my plans to be put into action. Carmel makes her way up the stairs.She glances around the surroundings, suspiciously searching for something or someone. She's been acting strange all morning, and I have a feeling it's about to get down.' Today is going to be the day I finally get rid of all my problems'_ I think with excitement as I watch from the shadows.As she reaches the top of the stairs, she spots Eren standing in the hallway, playing with a toy car. Carmel's eyes narrow, and she strides towards him, Eren on the other hand runs towards her with excitement." Mom Carmel..." He says with excitement as he runs towards her only to get cut off by a slap, which causes him to lose his grip and fall to the floor." Don't touch me, you monster" Carmel spits, her voice venomous. Eren looks up, his eyes widen in shock as he caresses his bruised cheek "I know what you've been doing to my daughter. I know you've been abusing her." Eren ra
LORA POVI watch as Octavia storms out of the room, a smug smile spreading across her face.I storm into my room, slamming the door behind me. I'm fuming, my anger boiling over like a pot left unattended on the stove. I pace back and forth across the room, my mind racing with thoughts. That bastard, that dirty wolfless piece of trash dared to threaten me, me Luna Lora. What does she think of herself, a blue blood, just because she is carrying that worthless thing children. She has no clueless what she has gotten herself into, I will make sure to clip her wings.

I pace back and forth across the room, my mind racing with thoughts of the trial.How could Doctor Eric's lawyer be so confident? What does he know that I don't?And just why in heaven's name did he request for a recess?Are they planning something?Oh the suspense is killing me.I stop pacing and look around my room, taking in the familiar surroundings. But nothing seems comforting right now. I feel like I'm losing control, like everything is slipping through my fingers.This can't be happening, I was supposed to get justice for my husband but why do I feel so weak.It's almost like I have lost already and that scares me.' Relax Octavia Justice will prevail ' My subconscious tries to subdue my frustrations.I take a deep breath and try to calm down, but it's no use. I'm too angry, too frustrated. I need to do something.
