"Do you smell that? I smell his scent. Quickly. Hurry up. There!" Rylee nudged Xylah in Errol's direction hurriedly.
Despite all the playful interactions with Rylee, a faint smile was playing on Xylah's thin face, making her beauty more otherworldly. Xylah was calm until Errol's beautiful musky scent invaded her nose. She broke into a wide grin when she saw Errol, and her heart started pounding in excitement Errol was standing beside her father and stepmother, and he had that sexy, cold expression. He was in a black suit, and his hair was slicked back, which made his handsome face appear more prominent. Xylah smiled shyly at him, she was dressed beautifully like this for him, so she wondered if he'd like it. Xylah's lips parted, and she was about to say 'Hi' when... Eulla suddenly appeared in front of them while holding her camera. She was live."Hi, guys!" Eullah waved, and a lot of comments and gifts bombarded her screen. "Thank you all for inquiring about my health. I'm fine now. But…" she exhaled with the happiest smile. "Did you know what just happened? My little sister met her mate last night. Don't you think that's amazing?" Eulla says with excitement."Can you see how beautiful she is… Let me show you." Eulla said and immediately switched the selfie to the back camera, which gave everyone the opportunity to watch all that was happening. Eulla's comment section was bombarded with messages soon after she switched the camera:No way! Is it just me who thinks Xylah is beautiful today?Moon Goddess. This is a beautiful omega.Wait. Young Master Errol appeared there, and Xylah seemed to be going over in his direction… Are we thinking the same thing??? Xylah's mood immediately changed to a low one the minute Eulla switched to her live. She felt sick, and she wondered if those people had begun to condemn her again, but she forced a smile and walked to Errol. But before Xylah could say anything, she heard Errol say, "I, Errol of GoldenPact Country, rejected you, Xylah, as my mate!" Errol declared immediately that she had arrived in his presence. Xylah's face paled, and her wide grin froze; her heart skipped a beat, and a wave of overwhelming sadness took over her. That's not possible! Xylah's eyes were clouded with tears; she never thought Errol would reject her! After all, he had told her that they'd be having the mating ceremony today—last night. He had… "No." Her lips parted, and she shook her head slowly with a pained expression 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 worthy of being my partner. I'd rather be with a strong alpha or beta." He taunted her."Ahhh!" A searing pain gripped Xylah's heart, and she let out a loud, painful roar due to the rejection pain; she immediately ran back to her room."Oops! I never expected that." Eulla covered her mouth, and she froze in shock for a few seconds. She snapped out of it, but her eyes were still wide due to shock and surprise. "That... I got to leave, guys. Bye." She said and hurriedly turned offline.— Caspian silently looked at the beautiful and deserted garden through the window, the room was empty until he heard, "Your highness." Caspian backed away from the window, and he turned back to his secret guard, who bowed his head respectfully. "Who's she?" Caspian asked with a cold, blank voice."Your highness, the arranged mate is Eulla Conan, the first daughter of Prime Minister Conan. She's an alpha, but she had decided not to get together with your highness because of the current rumors about your highness." The guard reported talking about the rumors that floated about saying the prince is useless and a retarded person. Caspian's lips quivered, and he tapped the wooden table rhythmically. 'A greedy person like that is not worthy of him.' Caspian thought. "Continue.""So, the prime minister had decided to switch Eulla for Xylah," Caspian's eyes lowered, and an incomprehensible emotion flashed in his eyes. "That young girl he brought back from Feast Country?" Caspian asked with a solemn look."Yes, your highness. Originally, Miss Xylah found her mate last night, which is young Master Errol. But he had rejected her in the morning for being a useless omega; - everything had been mistakenly captured on live because Eulla had wanted to brag about it." Caspian let out a cold sneer. Bragging? Really? Prime Minister Conan had really raised two capable daughters: a scheming bitch and a useless one, so Caspian would rather not have either of the two.____ Xylah's head was throbbing in pain, her eyes were red, she was curled in a fetal position, and she silently sobbed to herself. Rylee has also kept her mouth shut, and the two of them silently nurse their hurt and broken hearts."He's a bastard." Rylee cried out. "He broke our heart live. Everybody would be laughing at us now." She said, and it made Xylah sob more."I had a faint idea that Eulla planned the humiliation with Errol. How can he do this to us?" She asked with unhappiness and tried not to cry."Don't cry, Xylah, please." Rylee began to beg but the more she did, the more Xylah's tears fell. "I trusted him. He was the first person we placed our trust in. It hurt!" She said.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door."Get out. Leave me alone!" Xylah yelled loudly in a hoarse voice."Young Miss, the prime minister asked to meet you.""I don't want to…""He says you shouldn't make him act…" the servant who reported said in a voice that revealed how hard she was trying to stifle her laughter."Bitch!" Rylee cursed the servant as Xylah stood up languidly. Xylah washed her face, and soon she was making her way to her father's study. Her eyes suddenly looked downstairs, and she saw Errol. Their eyes met for a few seconds, and Xylah seemed to see a sad emotion floating in his eyes, but she didn't believe he was sad; that jerk had broken her heart. Therefore, Xylah looked away from his gaze with a scoff."I never think he's this idle… Doesn't he know how to…""I don't want to hear about him, please," Xylah begged and entered the study. She saw her father in his chair and her stepmother bedside him. "Prime Minister," Xylah said with a slight bow. "Madam," she said hoarsely. Prime Minister Conan looked at Xylah's face, and he seemed to see a face flash in his head. A hesitant emotion flashed in his eyes, but before he could say anything, Corinne held his hand with a nudging smile. Prime Minister Conan's hesitancy immediately disappeared. "Tomorrow you'll go to Prince Caspian's palace as his betrothed fiancee…"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
