Gad's POV"Where is my mate?" I demanded for the umpteenth time, banging my hand against the metal bars that were holding me.That bastard had a lot of audacity! How dare he lock me in his filthy, disgusting cell? Even the foolish guards that would often patrol along the hallway would look at me with disdain. I, Gad! An Alpha heir being treated like trash! It was totally unacceptable!My feet fell to the concrete floor. It was extremely cold and uncomfortable in this rotten place, but the thing that really gave me a pit in my stomach was when I thought about last night.My fingers came up to my cheek that was still holding the bruise caused by the slap that my mate had given me."My poor Koko, that crazy bastard has really brainwashed you, hasn't he?"I knew that there was no way Koko would slap me in her right senses, she still loved me. Even when I was fooling around with her sister and treating her badly, because she was the mate that the Moon goddess had given me and there was nob
Niyol's PovThis morning, Koko was still looking down, but she was trying to fake it with a plastic smile that was definitely not fooling me at all.Even when we were having breakfast, She was just poking at her plate with her spoon occasionally, taking a few mouthfuls after I nagged her to.Seeing her like this because of a worthless piece of trash made my blood boil so much.Last night we were supposed to celebrate our love… I was suppose to finally mark her, to show her just how much I adored her as my Queen.But he had ruined it."Koko, we are going to have another mating ceremony, it's going to be even more grand than last nig-"I said moving my hands over to scoop over her fingers in mine, she looked at me, giving me the most genuine smile that I had seen on her all morning."You don't have to worry about making it grand, lets just make it more quiet… more intimate… that is what the mating ceremony is truly about right? Sharing just how we feel about each other…"I leaned over an
Gad's POVI couldn't believe itThose guards actually threw me out of the palace gates as if I was a piece of trash, I was not even able to say a word throughout the entire journey home because I was still trying to process the shame and humiliation that I had been subjected to because of the bastard that stole my mate.And my father was not even helping matters at all. Instead of him to support me as he usually did, he was telling me that I should be grateful that I was actually spared by that thief."Gad you are lucky that you were able to leave that place with your head intact."I just growled under my breath, looking out the windscreen, but the only thing that came to my eyes was the image of me on my way to meet my mate. I shook my head snapping myself back to reality, there was no way I could live without her and I knew that she loved me too.She was probably just being with that bastard just to spite me.I tapped my fingers on my lap as I thought of the one person that could be
Koko's POV"Koko, are you ready for your big special day?"I looked at the reflection of the woman in front of me, she was wearing a gem necklace that had just been gifted by her mother in law and the most plastic smile she had ever seen in her entire life on her face.That woman was me.As I had requested from my mate, this mating ceremony would be more intimate and private than the last one was. It was just our friends, family and a few trusted handpicked nobles.It was also going to be kicked off in the throne room, but for now I was getting dolled up in my room, I had been pampered and petted and now I was looking like an absolute doll. And I felt just as empty as one, however I still managed to force a smile on my face.It made my stomach twist how much I still allowed that bastard to affect me. Ever since he left, I had been having nightmares of my past. The past I had been trying so hard to forget and throw away to the trash where it belonged.Last night I fell asleep in my mat
Donna (Koko's mom)"Are you sure it's the palace?" The man that was driving the taxi asked me for the umpteenth time and I responded with the same tired expression that I had beforeWhen Gad told me that the daughter I had despised so much was now going to become the Luna Queen, I could see that my luck was finally changing after so long.All I had to do was go there and fake a few tears and immediately she would forgive me like the foolish person she was.That was if the cab driver could take me there instead of asking stupid questions."Yes, I'm heading to the palace, that's what I told you.""Are you sure? because there is an event going on in the palace right now and commoners are not allowed in…""And what makes you think I'm a commoner like yourself?"I asked him in a bitter tone and he actually slowed down his cab just so that he could look at me from head to toe in his backseat. In the brief three seconds he did that, I felt like his eyes were raking through my entire body."Y
Koko's POVAs I was marching towards the palace gates, I hoped to the moon goddess that I would not see that woman by the time I got there because things were going to get really ugly.But then all my hopes were smashed into the rocks when I saw her standing there looking so haggard that just looking at her only was enough to make my skin crawl.I took a huge generous breath before I continued walking towards her direction and the moment she spotted me she threw herself all over me, blabbering all sorts of nonsense that I could not even catch.Finally I had had more than enough from her and I asked her in a very cold tone what she was doing here. She looked as if someone had thrown cold water all over her body then she backed away for a moment looking at my face carefully as if she was trying to examine something."I asked you a question, didn't I? What are you doing here, do you have any business here, or is there anyone you know in this Palace?''When she finally found her voice, sh
Niyol's POVI was tapping my feet on the floor when my mate walked back in, but then as I was sitting on my throne. I noticed in her eyes, her walk and everything around her.Her entire aura was giving off such a malicious energy that it seemed like if someone had breathed too close to her, she would snap their neck.I was wondering what was taking her so long, but whatever or whoever it was it seemed to have to really upset her. I held out my hand to her as she came closer, when she saw my outstretched arms, she stared at it for a moment, her eyes softening up immediately and she took my hand and then sat next to me where her place was.But she was still looking very troubled. I mind-linked her, asking her if anything was wrong, she was a little too quick to it claim that she was completely fine."You don't have to worry about me it is nothing important,"How could she say nothing important? When she had literally walked into the throne room with eyes that looked as if they were thir
Koko's POVI woke up this morning with aches all over my body, but then it was a soreness that I was fine with, my mate held me protectively to himself, his strong arms wrapped around me, keeping me warm all night. I could feel his mark on my neck and a shiver ran across my entire body.I had always felt close to him, but there was something different now, like my feelings for him had been heated in a flame and was now ten times more intense than before."You're smiling so much, are you that happy that I've finally marked you?" His voice suddenly burst into my thoughts, but as I was thinking of a response, I could also sense that he was smiling cheek from cheek."I...I could say the same to you too, Niyol..."He pulled me even closer to him, but I didn't feel close enough to him. We had finally gotten here, after all the people that had done their best to try and get in between our love, they had all failed.Suddenly, the thoughts of that shameless woman began to flood my mind and my
