"Come now, let's go" Ian said finally releasing her from the hug" We don't have much time left as it is"His hands held hers as he pulled her along and of course, Xylah's feet betrayed her, they trotted after him mindlessly as they headed for the door. It was only when she saw him open the door that her heart started to race.She can't do this, she can't go with Ian. His life was already on the line and if they leave like this, then—No, Xylah swallowed. She wanted nothing more than to run as far away from here as possible and start a new life with her mate, of course. But she knew she couldn't do that."I can't come with you!" She used all the strength she had left to scream those words, stopping Ian dead in his tracks. He turned to look at her, his eyes filled with questions."Xylah?" His voice broke as his grip on her loosened. Xylah used that opportunity to free herself."Yes Ian I'm sorry but I can't come with you""But why? Wh–""I don't owe you any explanation" her jaw tighten
You.." Jane growled the moment she reached Xylah."Oh, mothe—" Xylah barely had the chance to complete her words when a heavy slap.lamded on her cheeks, the sound resounded across the entire drawing room. Two amidst who stood there gasped at the same time Xylah did."Mother?" Xylah called out in shock, a hand to her cheek."I am not your mother!" Came Janes harsh growl "Don't u ever call me that you filthy bitch" she barked, the veins on her forehead Popping. Xylah has seen Jane angry so many times but this was the first time she was seeing her like this. She looked mad, almost possessed. She looked up at the maids who stared at them in shock."Leave us" She simply said and they nodded almost immediately before scurrying out of the room. Jane humped "You must be enjoying yourself are you not? You must be so happy after ruining my daughter's life!""But what did I do?" Cykah had no idea why so much anger was being directed at her. she hadn't done a thing."Everything!" Jane yelled and
Xylah slowly made her way to the dinner room flanked by her attendees. It's been days since her meeting with Sire Onyx Xylah had tried really hard to forget all about it but having to see him everyday was a constant reminder on its own. The royal family had this tradition He had given her time and his eyes held the same amount of warning whenever it met hers.Today was no different, the moment Xylah had stepped into the dinning room, her eyes met his Onyx's first. A disapproving look crossed his face. Onyx had already given her the instructions on what to do and was expecting the results for days now. Xylah couldn't bring herself to just do it.She sat in her place at the table, opposite her husband and looked everywhere but at Onyx. She felt his eyes bore into her soul as the kitchen maids serve breakfast. Xylah made it a mental note to eat quickly, excuse herself and hurry out of here before Onyx was done. She didn't want him to trap her like he always did the rest for the day.Ch
Xylah sat in front of her dressing mirror, dressed in all white and a veil over her head, a single tear flowed down her cheeks. Today marks the third month after Caspian's day and today, everything was going to change for her. She was getting married, again. And to whom? Sire Onyx himself. Xylah recoiled at the mere thought of marrying Caspian's uncle but she was helpless, just like she was on the night she stabbed Caspian.The whole city had gone into mourning after his body had been found cold the next morning. The cause of death was said to be a stab in the heart with a silver knife. Silver was lethal to all werewolves— it took their lives like it meant nothing.Investigations had been carried out but Sire onyx ofcourse got the case closed. Days passed by and Caspian was soon forgotten, he was but a useless prince after all.Xylah shook away the thoughts and took a long sigh as she's escorted out of the room.' Today was going to be a long day' She thought, clutching the small kni
Epilogue"The long awaited day has arrived dear viewers," The female reporter smiled brightly at the camera "We've just been informed that our dear Queen has gone into labor and a little prince is expected soon. The whole world is in anticipation and we're sending our hearts, prayers and heartfelt wishes to the Royal family. We wish the Queen nothing but a safe delivery"Caspian walked back and forth, his eyes darted towards the closed door every now and then. The whole of the chambers was dead quiet save for the constant screams and cries coming from behind the door and the loud thudding of his heart.His heart pounded against his chest so fast, he was sure it was going to explode any moment. He still couldn't believe what was happening— his wife, his queen, his mate was finally in labor.Caspian had waited for this day ever since that night and now that it was finally here, he didn't know why he felt this nervous. A fear nagged at his being, one that refused to go away no matter ho
Xylah's golden hair fell to her back, her image was ethereal as she slowly descended from the expensive wooden staircase. A faint smile was playing on Xylah's thin face. And when she smelled his unique masculine scent and saw his presence beside her parents, a wide grin she was incapable of hiding broke from her lips. Oh, Moon Goddess! Her Errol, her Mate!"I, Errol of GoldenPact Country, rejected you, Xylah, as my mate!" Errol declared immediately the happy Xylah had arrived in front of him. Xylah's face paled and her wide grin froze; her heart skipped a beat, and a wave of overwhelming sadness took over her. Errol! He had told her last night they'd be having the mating ceremony. He had… "No." Her lips parted, and she shook her head slowly and in pain as if to deny it. Errol took a step toward her, and his tall frame bent slightly to her level. With a disgusted sneer, he said "Do you think we're compatible? Look at you. You're just a weak and ugly useless omega, and you're not worth
It was 7:27 pm, and by 11:30 pm, the family would be at the palace for the annual mating season, where everyone from all over would come over in search of their mate. Hopefully, she would see her mate also; she had just turned sixteen last week, the official age to meet your mate. Perhaps her stepmother has seen her glance; she sneered at Xayla and said. "Oh, you're also interested in the mating festival. A useless bitch like you thought someone would be interested in you? You're just useless to everyone. Who in GoldenPact will want to mate with you? You're just a useless omega." Xylah's face immediately paled, and she gave herself a mocking glance. Her happiness drained away when she heard the 'useless' word. Yeah, what was she thinking? How could she forget? Everyone had always seen her as a useless omega famed for being a family destroyer; what did she expect? Her happy mood was destroyed, and she turned back to go to her room when she heard her stepmother say 'get lost'. On her
Yes, Xylah laughed to herself. Eulla was already engaged to Caspian, the previous king's son, and the notoriously useless and retarded prince; does that mean Eulla had purposely fainted to stop her from going? But then, there's no need to faint. She thought. Nobody noticed, but Corinne's face changed upon hearing the mention of that engagement and the useless good-for-nothing prince, but she kept quiet and restrained herself."Blah! Moon Goddess." Xylah walked toward her room, dejectedly. "There's no mate, again!" She thought.She froze when she saw Errol sitting on a chair. She didn't know he hadn't left; he looked so sexy and handsome sitting on that chair, and it made her heart beat fast.A blush crept up to Xylah's face, and she nodded to him in greeting, but when she saw him nod and smile at her. Her heart almost froze, and she ran inside as if she were being pursued by a silver bullet. Xylah seemed to hear a loud chuckle, but she didn't know if it was her illusion or not.____X
