DONNA'S POVI was married off to a mate I hated. My tears and cries fell on my father's deaf ears. He would never let his reputation be ruined by my foolishness. I knew that was the beginning of my misery. Living with Magnus had remained my worst nightmare. I never imagined that one reckless night would lead me to a loveless marriage. All I wanted that day was to drink and forget my sorrows, but it seemed I brought triple sorrow into my life. Just one mistake and my life turned around.After that morning I accused him of forcing himself on me, I slowly remembered all the things I had said to him. And how I forced myself on him.But still I was angry. I was angry that he accepted. He should have controlled himself. He should have stopped me no matter what, but now I had to carry this shame of his for months. And live the rest of my life with him.After my father found out, he wasted no time in marrying me off to Miko Magnus. I was filled with shame and humiliation. How could the dau
KOKO'S POVI watched as my so-called mate and my mother insulted me. They berated me before everyone, not caring about my feelings. Not caring if I was guilty or not.I have feelings too. They could have at least asked what happened to me even if they believed it was a lie. They could have confirmed if I was telling the truth but no, they already condemned me the moment Hanola lost her life.I do blame myself for not being able to save her, but have they asked themselves if they were being sincere towards me.I am also a breathing person. Giving my heart out to her would cost my life too. I would also be dead too. But of course, my death would have been celebrated by them. They would have been happy and wiped every memory of me out of their perfect world.Could I be more unfortunate? Could I have been less ill-fated than this? All my life I had lived under curses and beatings, but I have learnt to endure it all.Should I also endure the insults and beatings because the heavens decided
Koko's POVAs I laid patiently waiting for the verdict from Gad, I blocked myself from all their noises. I didn't want to hear anything. I wanted to die listening to my inner self.I looked at my mother. She threw a glare at me as if she would kill me instantly. I wondered why she would hate me to that extent. What did I really do to deserve their hatred?"Mother…." I whispered softly.I just wish I could hear her call me her child just this once. I would gladly accept the death that was coming my way. But all I received was an intense hateful glare.What was my crime? Was it just because I was ugly? Why would a woman hate her child so much?As I was deep in thought, drowning in my own sorrows, I felt strong hands holding me up roughly. I looked up to see two stern looking guards holding me up.Was it time for my execution? Was he that impatient to clear me out of the world? I accepted my fate and did not struggle with the guards or even say anything."Miss Koko Magnus. For conspiring
NIYOL'S POVIt had been two years since I lost my mate, Erika. It still felt like a dream though, but I learnt to live past the grief.The only thing left was regrets. I regretted not spending enough time with her, causing her pain and making her shed tears the days I made her my wife. I regretted leaving that morning. I regretted everything that I should have done for her but couldn't. I regretted letting them hurt her. I should have banished them or gave strict examples. They would have stopped and she would have been happy.She wouldn't have contemplated suicide if she were happy, right? But I didn't do anything. I believed her lies that she was okay.I walked slowly towards her resting place. I fought with the Elders so I could lay her to rest. I couldn't bear to throw her away. I loved her even through her errors. I made them understand they drove her into committing suicide.I blamed, Cursed, Shouted at, and growled at them. All of them were to blame for her death. If they had
Alpha NiyolI woke up rather late, this morning. I didn't know why, but seeing Laci last night lifted my spirits. I felt alive and… a little happy. Though I was literally trying to live happily.I received a mind-link from my Beta that he was waiting for me in the throne room. I almost forgot I asked to see him this morning.I quickly freshen up and put on hunting apparel. I mind-linked him to meet me up close to the border where I usually go hunting."Are you going alone? What about the guards?" My beta asked through the mindlink."Chester, what do you mean by alone? Aren't you my beta? What is the use of having to rely on others to protect me?" I threw the words at him."I am sorry Alpha, but your safety is of utmost importance. Please allow me to place some guards around. They won't have to show themselves. Even though the war had subsided a lot, there is still need for caution." Chester replied.Well, I had no way to argue with him. Even if I did, he would still put them secretly
Koko's POVI felt huge sweat dropping from my forehead. I tried opening my eyes, but I felt my body aching. It seemed I was lying on a wooden bed. No wonder my body was aching seriously.I struggled to get up from the bed with difficulty and agony. When I looked around I noticed I was in a room. It was a dimly lit room with simple artistic designs.Where was I?I was filled with so many questions, but no one to answer me. I got off the bed and tried walking around to check if I would see anyone.When I came out, I was surprised to see that I was surrounded by trees and shrubs. The house or rather hut was in the middle of the forest. Where was I? How did I get here? Who brought me here and where were the people chasing me? These questions kept bothering me."Are you awake, little cupcake?" I turned around to see a young looking boy at my back. My heart almost jumped out of my chest. I patted myself as I breathed in and out."My gosh! You scared the daylight out of me." I managed to s
Koko's POV In shame and humiliation I left the pack of my supposed second chance mate. I didn't really see any need of getting a second chance mate, or what was the moon goddess trying to get at? Was the moon goddess joking? Was she catching fun with my life? Did I look like a joke to her, because I had no one to defend me? Different thoughts ran through my head, as I felt myself crying. Why was all these happening to me? Maybe my dad's ghost wasn't happy with me, so he probably connived with the moon goddess to punish me. I only wanted to hold on to the old witch's prophecy, but thinking about it rationally, I realized she was probably trying to give me me hope, or trying to make me not to into depression. But if that was the case, she should have told me, there was no good enough reason for her to lie to me. I kept running deeper into the forest without a care in the world. I knew the safest place for me was to stay far away from all those that had always hurt me and would alway
ALPHA NIYOL'S POVFeeling a bit stressed these days due to the meetings with my cabinet and other alphas, I decided to go for my late-night hunting.I wished to free myself from all this stress. I went to get my hunting apparel and prepared to mind-link my beta to come.Before I could call him, he came knocking instead. He wore a rather complicated look on his face."What is the matter?""The sentinels want to have a word with you. I think it's the royal hunting day today."I forgot about that. The royal hunting was a day set aside once every month in which I go hunting alongside my warriors and cabinet. It was more like a banquet or something like that. But in this case, it was a hunting ceremony instead. We hunt all night and the one with the highest kill gets to have a wish granted."And I thought I was going to have this night all to myself! Alright, let's just get going. I am already dressed up for the hunt. I think I will just go with it.""Your highness, you will have to put o
