Chapter 49Jace's perspectiveShe licked her bottom lips, strolling towards me. “Enough with all this foreplay, I'm not going to ever sleep with you." I said, pushing her away from my side while she squeezes her face.She puts on a sober expression, and that didn't still make me to change my mind. “I'm your wife whether you like it or not. I know I was wrong for acting so silly. I heard the rumours about you. You're the unlucky nephew of the Alpha who is being treated badly. You don't even have a saying in the kingdom affairs.“She freaked, her eyes filled with tears. "on a political gain, I wouldn't marry someone who isn't powerful, who even wasn't the favorite of anyone. But, my father so much believe in you and had even dissuaded anyone in our pack from speaking or spreading any negativity about you.

Chapter 50 er 50Ann POVI blinked to see if I had heard him correctly or if I was having hallucinations.Will he marry me in exchange for giving up his desire for the throne?I shook my head and pinched my thighs really hard. He leaned in closer to inhale my scents and warned me not to let him touch me.When he says "him"? Is he referring to Jayden?I quickly covered my mouth to keep my scream from piercing the air for fear that someone would recognize me."Does this imply he has a hit on me?" I shook my head. It cannot be true.There is something up his sleeve; otherwise, why would a royal prince give up his ambition for the throne just to mate and claim me.I dashed down the stairs, hurrying towards the manor so I would not be noticed missing.When I arrived at the manor, I noticed the maids whispering among themselves and blushing. This made me want to learn more about the topic of their discussion.As I got closer to them, one of them cleared her throat, and the rest remained sil

Not that I care about you, but my hands are also trembling.” He mind linked me.Not that I want to adhere to his words, but my body compelled to his utterance and I stop shaking.The door opened, with another maid trailing behind madam Jessica’s chief maid.My eyes widened at that.“What’s wrong?” He asked with a tinge of concern in his tone and that got me perplexed.I ignored him and swallowed a lump down my throat
Ann POV Chapter one I sprinted through the stony path with my feet creating some thudding sound. There was only one spot in my mind at the moment which is the rooftops. I needed to run, I needed to put a stop to all this scandal and ill fate surrounding my life. "Suicide!"The word resonated in my brain. While I was on the rooftop, my chest suddenly become heavy because of the hidden pain within it. "Arrg!" I screamed into the air with the echoes of my voice remixing with the waves. "This world is cruel!" "You are not valued or loved unless your parents are influential and powerful in society." "What wrong have I committed other than the burnt scar on my face? why do they keep mocking me? Why am I ugly Selene?" I cried out.

Within a blink I was already inside lady Elena's chamber, panting heavily. "Where is my dress?"Elena enunciated, her voice getting louder with each word. A chill crept over me from the tip of my heart to my extremities. "Your dress?"I repeated in doubt. "Maybe you're deaf or also ugly with your ears."She spouted, turning to me. Her hazel eyes lost their glow. She cast me a glance and her eyes spoke volumes. I lowered my gaze, tears pouring out of the rim of my eyes. "I'm sorry ma'am, but Lena already took the dress from me earlier on." My eyes darted over to Lena's side, she gave me a deadly glare before speaking up. "Me?" "Yes," I answered. "Ann, don't you dare lie to me, I never demand any dress from you. I only speak to you because lady Elena needed her dress but you informed me that the dress was burnt while you were
AnnChapter three"Take off your clothes!" This time her voice sounded cold and deadly.My eyes bulged alongside my head which had snapped left. I wasn't putting on any inner dress and there is this man over there. I nipped to catch a quick glimpse, my eyes get honed with his, and my heart rang inaudible words.My inner wolf was uttering some words but I couldn't pick up. I feigned ignorance and deafness.Never would I have to strip in front of this cute man."Are you deaf?" "Slave!"Even after hearing these words being directed at me, I was unyielding as I could feel his gaze piercing into my body.I had already been flogged the thirtieth time but because I didn't cry out, Elena had asked for me to strip.Lady Jessica never uttered any words nor do her sister-in-law say anything."You're staring at Jayden!

I" cursed the day I knew you, Ann! You're such a mess and have always been bad luck to me!"I stood breathing heavily, the veins underneath my skin were popping out due to the level of my anger. I threw off the ceramic vase which was stuck with the morning roses, they become a stepping sole under my light feet."Who is Ann?"The voice resounded in my ears, almost causing me a heart seizure.

"My mother's death.""My mother's death!"Her words kept replaying in my head. Who is she? I asked but then my wolf jeered at me."Can't you see that she's but a maidservant?" My wolf replied with enough scorn in its tone.I know she was a maid but how come I felt some kind of connection between me and her?When I told her to kill herself, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and it was as if my heart was being ripped off.Is she among the slaves working in my father's courtyard?
