Alpha Kristen's POVI hurriedly had my bath and proceeded to the dinning room for breakfast. I didn't want my 'guest' to be the one waiting for me. It was 9:30am when I got to the dinning table and as I sat down, my eyes locked with a beautiful figure."Nice of you to come so early, Alpha Kristen."It was Venessa. By some kind of magic, she had come so early to the table. I was pleasantly surprised and smiled. The servants brought the food and soon we began to eat. I stole glances at her as we ate in silence. She wasn't a dainty eater but she didn't eat like a pig either. Her bites were lady-like and she ate to her fill."Were you royalty by some chance?" I asked as we ate in silence. She looked at me and put her fork and knife down. Before she spoke, she swallowed the food that was in her mouth."I was told, it was rude to talk while eating."I couldn't help but smile at her humour and sarcasm. I wasn't in the least, bit offended by it.Soon breakfast was over and the plates were cle
Venessa's POVI walked back to my room. Breakfast was better than I had expected. I entered my room and closed the door. I leaned on the door and sighed; I was finally going to get to my life together for me and my baby. I rubbed my tummy slowly and lovingly. My baby was going to get spoiled with so much love and care and...Wait! I didn't have a name for my baby! Well, if it was a girl, I was going to call her Aurora but if it was a boy, I would call him, Kevin maybe. I still had plenty of time to workshop the names. My stomach hadn't grown significantly and I wasn't feeling whoozy or nauseous at all. I walked to my bed and gently sat on it as I admired the room I was given. My mind soon began to wonder. Who was this Don De la Vega? Was he nice? Was he as handsome as Kristen? I hadn't even asked for additional information. I had hurriedly said yes and accepted the offer because I had been assured of payment and place to stay.What if I had been to hasty and this Don De la Vega man w
Alpha Rogan's POVIt has been almost five days since Venessa disappeared. I was in my throne room sulking. Belinda had tried to come to talk to me but I pushed her away. I didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment. The maids and servants had come to beg me to eat but I dismissed all of them. I was in a right horrible mess. As I sat down, my mind drifted back to when Venessa was first brought to me by her father. She was a beauty. I had bought her as she was a virgin and I was told that only a virgin could give me an heir as I had long searched for my mate and couldn't find her.The first night I had her, she cried out as I broke through her. She was in pain but I didn't stop. I was filled with desire and a longing: a longing for a child.She didn't take in immediately however and I began to hate the more. After a few more attempts, I was convinced that it was all futile and she was just a waste of my money and space. My heart began to break as I remembered how badly I had treated
Chapter 13Alpha Rogan's POVCouncilor André got up from the ground and looked me in the eyes. His mouth was bloody and as he tried to stand straight, he groaned in pain. He looked at the other councilors and they looked at him, their eyes telling him not to say a word. He ignored them and turned to me again."Long ago, when I was young, I hadn't found my mate. I was destined to not find anyone as a mate. I explored the ancient Lycan archive's and discovered a way to by-pass the will of the Moon-Goddess and get any mate of my choice."I looked at Councilor André with suspicious eyes. No one could change the will of the Goddess."You are a fool to think you can bend the will of the Goddess!" I roared angrily."Then my folly paid off," he said with a smile. "I found an old legend telling of a mystical pool hidden deep in the Southern mountains. All you need to do is take the lady that you wish to be mated to and both of you are to bathe in the pool under the light of the full moon. I wa
Chapter 14Alpha Kristen's POVThe boring meeting with the council finally came to an end. It was the worst one I had ever gone to. The head of the council was worried about nothing very serious in particular. Just a couple of hearsays here and there. Old people's ears were always sharp to catch rumors.As the council dismissed, I called back Don De la Vega."My Alpha," he said with a deep bow."De la Vega. You made some very good points during the meeting."De la Vega smiled. "I thank you for your kind words, Alpha Kristen, but I'm very sure that you, My Lord, were not paying much attention. I know that you hate when the council calls for a meeting. So I guess it is safe to presume that there is something else that you would like to talk to me about."I smiled back at De la Vega."You know me too well. Yes there is something I'd like to discuss with you. Do have a seat."We sat back down at the round table and De la Vega looked at me seriously. Anytime there was something to discuss
Vennesa's PovThere was a loud knock on the door and I jolted from my shabby bed, from my sleep. My head whipped to look at the window and then I realized the sun had set and I had been sleeping for hours. How long have I been in bed? I thought to myself, I remembered I couldn't sleep early last night due to overthinking. Yes, I have been in such a mood for days now, and it has some how become a habit to me. I can never go to bed without having some thing to think about.The knock resounded again and I realized that some one was outside the door."Who is that?" I asked sleepily."My Lady." My maid called from the outside. "His majesty has requested to see you." She informed me.I was so excited that His Majesty, my Alpha, has decided to see me. It's been long since he requested to see me. I would say, we hardly had the time to meet in person and have a couple's conversation. I mean, we never.I stood up from my couch, adjusting my gown. This was a perfect moment, and that isn't the
Vennesa's Pov(2 Weeks Later)I sat quietly in my room, life has been pretty rough on me. I haven't gotten the love I deserved for years, and it all shattered away from me the very day I lost my mother in a ghastly motor accident. She was returning from work when her car bumped into a moving lorry.It wasn't a surviving one. I couldn't help but to cry, hoping I would wake up the following morning feeling better like nothing ever happened. But the pains kept coming, ringing repeatedly in my head, over and over again.I won't blame my step-father for acting so rough to me, he has never loved me since he set his eyes on me. I blame my mother, she brought all these upon me. If only she had been so understanding, she wouldn't have left father in the first place.I get it, she was trying to play the super-smart mother of the 21st century. Now that she is gone, it's me suffering the whole thing. I wish I can find my real father, and I'll get away from this shitty hell.I held my stomach, a s
Vennesa's PovThe trauma of what happened two days ago hasn't stop from displaying in my head. I can't even concentrate any more, it's more like a constant reality displaying in my head every single day. I can't think of any thing else but it.The food my maid had dropped for me since morning still remains untouched on the table. I had lost the appetite to eat any thing. Since that day I haven't eaten any thing. I was still healing from the heartbreak of what I had seen, and I know it's gonna take a long time to heal.My maid had come a few minutes ago to remind me to eat. How can I eat when my home doesn't feel like home to me? How can I eat when the one I thought is my mate could call me a contracted wife? If nothing has ever felt intimidating in my life, this one felt way more than intimidation.I heaved.I laid on the bed, facing the ceiling. I didn't want to think about the incident in the garden, but the more I dodged from it, the more it kept coming.A knock sounded on the door
