Talia's POV I bolted upright, grabbing my gown and pulling it on in one swift motion. And Zariel on his part rose from the bed too. He has a look of confusion on his face. âWhere are you going?" he inquired, but I didnât answer, focusing instead on tying my shoes. I didn't want to answer him so I wouldn't be late for where I was going. âTalia, what's going on? Why are you giving me the silent treatment all of a sudden?â he pressed. âPlease, just tell me what I did wrong.â I just rolled my eyes at his words. Did he think that we're automatically a couple just because I let him sleep with me or what? I only let him have his way with me as a form of appreciation for saving me. He shouldn't think too much about it. He reached for my hands, but I swatted it away. âI'm leaving.â I snapped and the frown on his face deepened. âTalk to me please. What's wrong?â His voice wavered and I rolled my eyes again. âAre you deaf? I said I'm leaving.â âWhy?â âBecause I want to.â I answere
Zariel's POV âYou should go home, Zariel.â My wolf whined for the umpteenth time. âYou've been running for a long time now.â He added, but I pretended not to hear him. âCome on, man. Don't you dare ignore me like that.â âCan you just shut up?â I snarled in annoyance. âYou are driving me crazy in case you have no idea about it.â I felt him roll his eyes. âIf there is anyone who's driving anyone crazy, trust me, it's you, because I didn't even do anything to you. I didnât piss you off. Talia did.â Right! He is right. Talia is the reason why I'm in this state. That bitch always knows how to piss me off and that was the same thing she did. It took everything in me not to snap her neck. And that was the reason why I asked her to leave. Thankfully, she didn't disobey me. Else she'd be dead by now and I swear, I won't regret it one bit. I froze mid step as a strange sound echoed around me. Almost immediately, my pulse spiked. âDid you hear that?â I whispered to my wolf, but I
Princess Lara's Point Of View âWhat did you just say?â Morana snarled as she shot me a glare and I just folded my hands across my chest. âYou heard me right, Morana.â I spat. âAnd I'm sure that you're not deaf.â âCan you just stop this, Vaylara. You are taking this far.â She added, but I just rolled my eyes. If she thinks I was gonna take this easy, then she's mistaken. âNo, Morana. I'll only let it go if your sister does what I want.â I said with a tone of finality, leaving no room for argument. I watched as she stared at her sister. One look at her, you could tell that she felt she could save her from my wrath, but too bad she can't, because if I don't punish her now, her sister would try such a thing again. âDon't worry, Morana. I'll do it.â She muttered under her breath, but I heard her clearly. âThen you should do it right away. I ain't got all day.â I hissed through gritted teeth. I made my way towards the rocking chair that was at one end of the room and sat on it,
Princess Lara's Point Of View âNow that your father has left the palace, donât think youâll have free rein to do as you please.â Moranaâs voice cut through the silence the moment I stepped out of the courtroom. I had just finished meeting with some of my fatherâs allies, a duty heâd entrusted to me in his absence. Of course, I had obliged, just like every princess would. But her sharp tone made it clear that she saw his departure as an opening for rebellion rather than responsibility. Anyways, I was on my way to becoming a Queen and this was one way to become one. Having meetings with men of values. In any case, if I get married and my husband isn't available to meet with his business partners or allies, then I'll be expected to fill in for him. To take his place. I pretended not to hear Moranaâs words as I tried to walk away. I really wasn't interested in her shits right now. Especially not after the chaotic meeting I just had with those old men. I must say my father was do
Talia's Point Of View âYou've ruined my plans.â The words tore from my lips before I could stop them. What the fuck! How could I be so careless to let those words slip? âAnd what are you talking about?â The bitch asked, looking like she had no idea what she just did. She FUCKING ruined my plans. How come I had no idea that she's been made Luna already? âI'm sure you know that she's Alpha Zade's mate and he'll definitely make her his mate.â My wolf spoke up and I rolled my eyes. Of course I knew that she was Zade's mate and he would make her his Luna, but my plans wouldn't work now that she's been made his Luna. There won't be any chance for me. How could I be so careless? I should have seduced Zade before she's made his Luna because even if I bore his pups now, I wouldn't be made his Luna. Because they already have a Queen and Luna. Anyways, I won't let it stop me. I'll seduce him. I'll carry his pups before she does, and that way I would be made Luna. Because the pack won'
Lenora's Point Of View âWe are here, my Luna.â Pedro announced and when I stared out of the window, I realised that he was right. We were now in the compound. I wiped the tears off my face and cleared my throat before making my way out of the car. By now, one of the guards was standing outside the door waiting for me. âGood morning, my Luna.â He bowed in greetings as he held the door for me to get out and I nodded at him. I muttered my thanks to him. He tried to take my bag from me, but I shook my head, with a gentle smile. âThank you, but I can manage, okay?â He nodded as he stepped away. I made my way towards the house and I got in as soon as one of them opened the door for me. âThank you, Ralph.â It's funny how I've come to know the names of each and every guard that worked here, but when it came to the maids, it was different. I rarely recognised their names apart from Freda, Lucia and Ariel. Anyways, I have enough time to get to know each of them. There is no rush. âG
Lenora's POV In no time, a car pulled up in front of the penthouse and I made my way to it. It was Pedro, the same man that had driven me to the shopping mall some days ago. I tried to open the doors to get in, but he stopped me halfway. âNo, Luna. I'll do it myself.â He said as he hurriedly got out of the car. âAlpha Zade will have my head if he finds out that I let you enter the car without opening the door for you.â I rolled my eyes as I heard his words. Why does every single person keep saying that? It's not like Alpha Zade was here with us, neither would I tell him about it. Nevertheless, I got into the car as soon as he opened the door, and I muttered my thanks. He got in too, after he'd closed the door and in no time, the car roared back to life. âBy the way, Pedro, how have you been?â I asked, hoping to spark a conversation. I knew all too well that he wouldnât mind sitting in silence the entire ride to the pack house. âAnd howâs your mate?â He had mentioned her t
Talia's POV âAnswer me, Talia. Do vampires even exist?â Zariel repeated when I didn't answer him and all I could do was roll my eyes. Just how on earth can someone be so dumb to the point that he has no idea that some fucking vampires exist? âYes you fool.â I spat. âVampires do exist. Otherwise how do you plan to explain this?â I hissed through gritted teeth as I pointed at the bruises around my body and he just rolled his eyes. He fucking rolled his eyes at me. âWho knows, you must have pissed the wrong guys, Talia. I'm not surprised in any way.â He said it like it was the easiest thing to say. What the fuck does he mean by I must have pissed the wrong guys? Is he trying to say that I'm a fucking troublemaker or what? I've never thought of meeting any vampires. In fact I've never had anything to do with them. If Kathryn hadn't gotten involved with them, all of these wouldn't have happened to me. I can vividly remember the way those beasts had tried to kill me. Yes, they t
Zariel's Point Of View A sharp knock sounded on the door and before I could leave the couch to go see who it was, the door creaked open, the sound echoing through the room. And immediately, I stood on alert, in case it was Darag's or any of his dogs. I know for sure that they wouldn't let me off easily after what Karl had done to them. They'll definitely want to get their revenge. I quickly snatched one of the daggers from the table as I tiptoed to the door. I have to be very careful. âWho the fuck is there?â I called out in a loud growl even though I was filled with nothing but fear. Raw fear. âIt's me.â The voice came up. I was taken aback by the familiar voice and very quickly I put away the dagger, relief flooded through my body to know that it wasn't the people that I was expecting. I guess I was scared for nothing. âTalia?â I called, but I was met with only silence. My pulse quickened as I hurried toward the door, but I froze at the scene before me. She was sprawled ac
