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 way to her room, Errol appeared, he was wearing a black t-shirt and white trousers. He was tall, sexy, and domineering, and a look from him was enough to make her face red and her knees weak. Unfortunately, he was only Eulla's friend.' Xylah thought and shook her head sadly. Xylah didn't know when she started falling in love with Errol. But she has always envied Eulla for being able to catch Errol's attention. Errol was caring, meticulous, and attentive to feelings. He always respects her, never says bad things, and always nods in greeting, unlike everyone else. Xylah nodded back to him and walked to her room."Oh my, look who's here." Eulla suddenly yelled and waved her hand at him excitedly. "Errol!" She yelled at her fans. "He came over for me, he's so sweet…" Xylah glanced at the scene and shook her head in sadness. Suddenly, she envied Eulla. Eulla is the one who has everything—parents' care, werewolves' love, boys' attention, etc. But she's just a useless omega. She thought as she entered the room."AHHHHH!!!" Eulla suddenly screamed in pain before she could stand up; her face had gone pale, and her live had gone haywire. She had broken into sweats, and she was shivering slightly while biting her lips.The sudden scream almost made Xylah jump. She held her chest in shock and hurriedly turned to look at Eulla, that bitch who had suddenly yelled and made the poor omega almost develop a heart attack, and Xylah saw Eulla shaking like someone with epilepsy. The scene was so comical, and it almost made her laugh. What rubbish is this person playing at? She doesn't even know how to fake it."Baby, tell me what's wrong?" Corinne quickly held Eulla's hand with worry. Even Errol now stood by Eulla like a knight in shining armor, and that image had made Xylah's heart sting in pain, which she didn't understand. After all, if Errol wanted a partner, it'd be Eulla, the perfect alpha daughter. But she didn't understand why her heart was breaking in pain."I…" Eulla's lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but before she could, she fainted. Xylah held her chest and turned to look at Eulla, but she squinted her eyes in surprise when she saw the scene… Wait! Eulla fainted! Fainted? What the hell? Who's just shouting? Is she dreaming? A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: is this to throw the GoldenPact social network in jeopardy? But why would she do so few hours to the mating ceremony? Xylah sighed and returned to her room. She didn't even want to know what would be going on in Eulla's live comment section."Eulla." Corinne shook Eulla in panic. "Quickly call the doctor, please." She said to Errol. Errol nodded, and he immediately picked up his advanced mobile device. His eyes unconsciously drifted toward Xylah's room, but he soon snapped out of it.A few minutes later, the doctor came out of the room in his coat. His hand was placed in his pocket, and he replied, "The patient needs more rest. Let her sleep tonight. I'll be here to check on her health tomorrow." Xylah, who had been watching them from her room, immediately ran out. She panicked when she heard the doctor's words. "What about Eulla?" She asked again as if to confirm the doctor's word. The doctor's cold expression softened when he saw the omega show her care. He gave her a nod of approval when he saw her care. Young Miss truly cares for her elder sibling. Perhaps the doctor was on live before; who knows? "The first miss is sick and would need to rest tonight to be strong. Worry not, she'll be hale and healthy tomorrow…""What?" The sentences fell on Xylah like a cold basin, and it made her fall on her butt in shock. The happiness and anticipation for her outing and mating night, everything had disappeared, and all that was left were the doctor's echoing words. So she won't be able to go to the Mate Festival? She repeatedly asked herself. It was certain Xylah wouldn't. Eulla is sick, so the family would have to cancel their plans for the night to take care of the sick patient, which means they won't go."Didn't that mean Eulla wouldn't be able to attend the mating festival?" Xylah suddenly muttered after everyone had left except the family."Why would she need to attend?" Prime Minister Conan strides in and continues. "She was betrothed to Caspian." He completed and touched Eulla's forehead.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?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 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
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
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
"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
Ian stopped on front of Xylah's door, his hands raised as he dropped a soft knock on the door"Xylah?" He called out, his voice even softer "Are you in there?" He asked. It was a stupid question ofcourse, as she most certainly was in there. She couldn't go anywhere else.Moments later, he heard the shuffling of feet and the door being unlocked before it was pulled open, the face of his mate coming into his view. The smile on Ian's face disappeared the moment he saw her."Xylah?" A small frown made it's way up his face. "What's wron—" she didn't let him complete his sentence as she crashed into his arms without warning.Whether or not Ian was taken aback, Xylah didn't know because she felt him wrapped his arms around her a moment later. The familiar sparks were sent running across her body again, it felt like she was electrocuted but not bad electrocuted, electrocuted in a good way. Xylah closed her eyes, it felt oddly comforting.How grateful she was he didn't say anything through ou
