MATTHEW POVI am freaking tired of this life and just wanted to escape this damn wedding with the woman I'm not in love with. It is so sad that my parents are forcing me to do something against my will. But what do I do? I am not allowed to speak my own fucking mind when it comes to this matter. I wanted to marry Rhea, nothing more and nothing less. I wanted to make her my Luna! I faced my stupid mirror and took a look at my pathetic face.There is just an empty space in my life, there is nothing left here to remind me just the memory of your face Rhea. Even though my father is telling me that you are no longer alive, my heart is saying otherwise. I know she is alive somewhere in the vast world. And so I need to find another way to find her and escape this wedding. This night is the perfect time for me to escape this damn place. I don't want to tie knots with her. I took a bath and clothed myself. As I was going down the stairs, I noticed that everyone was having a nice conversation
MATTHEW POVMy mother suddenly stood up on her feet and everyone's attention shifted to her. "I am sorry, I already lost my appetite. Please enjoy your lunch, I need to somewhere else," she said, making me and the rest of the people shock. It was the very first time that she walked out during lunch. As a matter of fact, she had never acted this way before. Is she avoiding my brothers or did her stomach upset? Either way, as soon as she left my brothers sat down in front of us. Then my father Lorenzo suddenly speaks up calmly. "I hope you'll forgive my wife, she has been acting so weird these past few days. I cannot believe that she is doing it again in front of her guests," I can feel the rising anger in the way Dad looks. It seems like he is disgusted with my mom's behavior. "Dad, does she have any problem with us?" Denmark asked in confusion, "She just left after we arrived."My father nodded in disagreement, "No, I don't think this has something to do with you being in here. It
MATTHEW POVI am no longer in the mood right now. Everything seems to fall apart. I never get the chance to have some alone time to think about Rhea. As soon as the lunch was done, I went to my fucking horse again to see if there is something wrong with it. I caressed the body of my horse and talked to it as if it were a human, "Hey buddy, you okay? We had a weird experience earlier but I hope it will the the last time we experience it. I really thought we were not going to escape.""Really? And what was that weird? Why haven't you told us about it during lunch bro?"I turned around and I saw Denmark gleamingly smiling at me. I was shocked by his sudden appearance. I did not hear his footsteps as he came near me. Was it because I was lost in thoughts or did he like to move unnoticed? Either way, I smiled at him. "Hey, what's up! How long have you been there and not talking?""I just arrived Matthew, but I wonder what were you talking about? Is there something wrong that you have bee
MATTHEW POV"Rule this damn nation? Yes, can still do that, but I've got a plan to change everything, Matthew. And this plan will never work unless you are going to help me and Zeus to make it happen."The way Denmark looked at me, I think he was really up to something. While I can't deny that he is the smartest among the three of us siblings, he is also the most cunning, to say the least. Trusting him and his plans might put me in danger but I think I should give him a chance to negotiate with me. "And what is your plan? Make sure it is not something stupid."He grinned like a devil, "Just relax! I am not trying to brag or anything of that nature, but this plan is going to work. Trust me, I've got your back. Now let us talk about it with Zeus on the border of the sea."Suddenly, Zeus went down from the tree above us. It really shocked me to the point where I almost got peed. "What the fuck is wrong with you huh? How long have you been hiding in the tree?" I asked in surprise. Inst
MATTHEW POV"Bro, you have to be enlightened, you are still in love with Rhea, right? Do you still believe that she is alive somewhere in this vast world? And the worst part of this is, you don't really love Cindy and wanted to get rid of her but she is your only way to become the ruler of this nation," Denmark frankly said. My mind and heart started to get confused. I wanted to make the right decision and avoid hurting anyone as much as possible, but in the end, I knew my father would stop at nothing until he achieved what he wanted. "Your silence proves to me that you wanted to do the right thing. Come on Matthew, what's holding you back? We should not argue about this anymore. Why don't you just accept the fact that our main enemy is our flesh and blood... our devil father dressed in human clothing?"Denmark really wanted to push me to hate Dad, but my conscience was the only thing holding me back right now."Bro, this is now or never. Don't worry about making your hands dirty, y
RHEA POV"Listen to me, I did not want you to engage in this fight. You are a woman and you are not obliged to protect me.""Trust me Atlas, I can do it... I just can't hide on your back from time to time.""And what are you two fighting about huh?" Prince Malik asked, smirking because he thought he had the assurance of claiming the victory, "Is this some kind of trivial matter? Or you've got something up your sleeves? Honestly speaking, what is the point of creating a plan when the result is just the same? Surrender now and kneel before me so I can give both of you a painless fucking death?""Why don't you shut up your mouth instead? Seriously speaking, you are using your armies to fight me instead of you? What a shame! Hiding on someone's back, are you really worthy to be called the prince?"In anger, Prince Malik unsheathes his sword and points it at Atlas, "How dare you insult and disrespect a prince like me in front of my army? I will cut off your head and feed you to the beasts
RHEA POV"Okay this is it Rhea," I murmured again, trying to pacify myself in this difficult and complicated situation. I fought them with the best I've got, I managed to take down some of them but it wears the hell out of me. In the end, I already kneeled down on my knees and closed my eyes as I accepted my faith. "Do you have any last words before your last breath?"I closed my eyes and did not answer him even though the edge of his sword was already in my throat, so when he was about to cut off my head, a familiar voice suddenly spoke up. "Get your filthy sword off of her," I tried finding the voice, I am sure it really sounds familiar. Then I heard several footsteps from behind. "It's you Jared and Carlo," I said in surprise, followed by a question. "What are you doing in here?"Jared smirked at me, "Don't assume that we've come here to save you. We are here because we want to protect Atlas and we realized that what is important to him is important to us."As soon as I blinked
RHEA POVHe let out a frustrated sigh, "I seriously can't understand girls like you sometimes. Just because a guy cared for you does not necessarily mean that they've got feelings for you as well. Atlas might act kind to you but-""Trust me, I am still in love with my former mate who rejected me in front of his father. His name is Matthew but I still believe that he rejected me to please his father who hated me so much.""And then what? Why are you telling me about something I did not care about?""It's because I just want you to realize that I have a feeling for someone else.""Cut the crap, if you want to rebuild this cabin, you should do it yourself. I am not having pity on the likes of you, damn witch. But the question is, how are you going to rebuild this place if you have no idea how to do it? You fool!"I still smiled even though he is trying to put me down, "Well, I was an omega who had been a slave for many years. And because of my rank, I was even obliged to help rebuild som
