Jaden's POV"You saw her?" That was the first question from Carl through mind link the moment I walked back into the palace, but I couldn't reply to him, so he wouldn't notice how my heart was racing."Are you done using the restroom?" The Alpha smiled at me, but I could only shrug."I am leaving." That was all I bluntly said in reply before turning and leaving just the way I had walked in. Carl left his chair, bowed to the Alpha, and followed me behind."Won't you wait a little longer for my daughter to return and escort you both out?" I heard what the Alpha suggested to Carl, and it forced out a deep grunt of anger inside me."Carl, if you dare agree to that, you are a goner!" Without looking back, I issued a warning via mind link."We are sorry, not today. The prince is eager to leave." Carl responded to him and scurried off, running to catch up with me.Just as I got to the porch ready to leave, Carl asked his first question again, and I had to take several deep breaths before I co
Nana's POV It was so shocking that I initially thought it was a hallucination; even as I felt the burns from his slap, I couldn't believe it was real. He just slapped me because I touched him. Not only that, he drove away. I fell heavily on the ground from the force of his slap, yet he didn't care to check on me.The royal guards around the area rushed to check on me, but I could barely see them. Even as they succeeded in helping me up, I still couldn't say anything as I was totally dumb."What happened? Why were you on the ground?" I heard Ava's voice and turned sharply to see she was also among those who were helping me up, and that couldn't help pumping rage inside my heart."What are you doing here?!" I yelled and winced as my cheeks hurt more. She gave a confused look that irked me very much. The fact that she was seeing my red cheeks made me really ashamed.Had she seen him slap me?"I just came out and saw you on the ground, so I joined the guards to check on you." She replied
My whole body froze as my blood ran cold on hearing what she just uttered. I would have laughed and seen it all as a joke if I hadn't seen her mean face and cold stare."I don't want to die!!" I cried in horror, flinging off the bottle I just drank the poison from. "Then, make Ava kill herself. Greater torture is the only way for her to end her life. Set her up with her father so he will punish her continuously. Imagine how great your life will be when you succeed. Jaden will be yours forever..." She teased, and I could only let out a deep breath, thinking about it all."I know it will be quite hard, so you have the weekend to prepare. From Monday, you can start. Ava won't be able to shift into her wolf, which will make her father hate her more and might even punish her too. Take that opportunity to request for Ava to be your personal slave." Aurora smirked again as she spilled those words."You will really make Jaden mine?" I inquired, recalling she had mentioned it earlier."It's a
Ever since I heard Nana mention the name Jaden, I had felt something strange, which my brain found so hard to understand, and all my heart had longed for was the day I would set my eyes on him. I had heard a lot about having mates and that intense bond that pulls their hearts together like a string, but I had yet to have my first shift, so it was impossible to have a mate.Prince Jaden was someone I had never met before, but his name rang a bell in my head and heart, and I felt there was something about him that my entire being craved.It was so sudden, and I never imagined it would be at this moment. I didn't expect him to come in at this very moment when my heart is shattered in pain and intense guilt for the murder of Eric and Stan. Now that he was standing in front of me, looking straight at my face, I felt something I had never felt before. In my head, I had always imagined how cute he must look, but seeing him in reality made me realize how much I had failed in creating the rea
Jaden's POV"How am I wrong? It is obvious that her kind doesn't deserve to live. She was cursed from birth. Don't you think so?" Nana snorted, her tone sounding so frustrated.I chuckled a bit, and just then, Carl's voice came in through mind link."I don't think it is safe to show any sign of care to Ava now. She is still in their possession and they can cause her greater harm once you make it clear that you like her." He whispered to me, and I nodded, realizing how true he was."I am sorry for interrupting whatever was going on here before I came, and to be honest, the reason I returned was to apologize for slapping her." I forced out those words, gritting my teeth as it really irritated me.Nana gasped and stared at me with her eyes already getting wet as she couldn't believe what I just said."Are you serious?" The Alpha and Nana exclaimed in unison, and I nodded with a fake smile, which made Nana squeak with excitement.My eyes glanced over to Ava, and I could see the shock and
"Prince, I have been waiting for you at the car pack. It is getting darker, or do you plan to sleep over?" Carl fumbled, trying to hide the frustration in his voice."We are leaving now." I responded, turning to him and back to the woman who wouldn't remove her gaze from me. It was just as if she was studying something about me that I couldn't actually understand."Good evening, ma'am." Carl sent his greetings to her in respect, smiling freely and forcing me to stare at him, confusedly wondering why he doesn't feel the same toward this woman."Oh, my son. You must be his assistant. How are you?" She responded with a cheerful tone and a bright smile that still looked pretentious to my eyes, yet Carl seemed totally blind to it as he gave her his response, undisturbed."What were you talking about with my prince that made him forget it was getting late to go home because this pack is quite far from our kingdom?" Carl asked, stealing a glance at me, and on seeing my frown, he slapped his
"Don't wish a curse on the Lycan! This girl is a cursed child, and we have to stop the Lycan from seeing her because she brings a curse to him! Have you forgotten what she did at birth?" I yelled, breathing heavily as it seemed like my nightmares were coming to reality."We can't fight fate. I resent her so much, but if things turn out that way, we will have no choice because she will not be a curse anymore, but a blessing. Many packs out there are doing everything possible to make the Lycan prince find an interest in any girl in their pack, because anyone who succeeds will be the most powerful and would rule others!" The Alpha was explaining all this to me, but I wasn't listening to the rubbish he was spilling.I can't just believe my ears. I can't believe that in the end, Ava might be the one to get his heart. Prince Jaden was soft on her, and even without saying it, everyone here saw how passionate he suddenly was.Aurora was right all along.I have to make Ava kill herself."I wil
"Moon goddess, please help me this once," I prayed silently, and just then, the door was opened. I looked up to see three Omegas walking in with plates of food and anger on their faces."You better shift today after all these good treatments." One of them scoffed as they dropped the plate for me, walking away hastily as if I would kill them if they stayed any longer.I could only sigh. *******NIGHT OF THE FULL MOON...I was sitting on a chair in the square with my head positioned to enable me to see the moon clearly.A crowd was around me. The Alpha and Nana were also sitting on the upper ground beside me, watching me. The sounds of drums and sparkles of fire were also illuminating the whole place.Every single werewolf in the pack above the age of 18 was all looking at me in anticipation.I saw as the moon finally turned full round, and at that moment, all drums seized, leaving everywhere dead silent.My heart began to hammer so hard and loudly inside my chest that I was sure anyon
