Koko's POVIt's been a month since Niyole left on official duties. I missed him every second and I couldn't help blushing every time I remembered our last love-making session.Was he thinking about me too? I wonder if he missed me the way I was missing him too. The palace had been a little calmer and peaceful ever since that girl, Scarlett, stopped picking on me. Although I was still having a hard time with Niyole's mother, I had learned to bear it all.She always threatened that I should leave the palace before Niyol comes back. Laci had told me to ignore whenever she was saying. It wasn't like I talked back to her, but she always found an excuse to rain insults on me, even though I kept my mouth shut.To be honest, I was already getting fed up. I was tired of being mocked by the servants because of her insults every day. If not for Laci's involvement most times, I would have been used as a rag by the palace maids.I had learned to always raise my head, however, I still put my head
Koko's POV"Mother, what are you saying? How could you utter such words to your son's mate?" "She is not and can never be Niyol's mate. I refuse it and I will continue to refuse it!" She screamed."What do you have against Koko? How has she harmed you? It's been more than a month since she has been living with us. Have you ever come across any ill fate? Why are you so adamant?" Laci asked, feeling frustrated."What do you mean by being adamant? Do you love your brother at all? How can you allow someone who was driven away from her pack to be with him? He is an alpha king and should be living by example!" She said, shouting.I really wanted to stop them from quarreling, but I didn't know how to start talking. I knew if I dare say anything from my mouth now, the Queen mother would just chop my head off."What example are you talking about? Is it the example of driving away an innocent mate just because she is different or what? Is there a hidden agenda?" Laci asked, feeling pissed with
Koko's POVAfter that day at the garden where Laci quarrelled with her mother, I saw less of her mother. It had been three days now and the Queen mother was still not coming to the palace.I hoped I wasn't the reason she had decided not to come to the palace again. I didn't want to be a bad person. As it was, I had already being labeled all sorts of names already. I really didn't want more.I think Laci was already through with her festivities at her place. She might come today. I missed her and Niyol.I just hoped that Niyol came home soon so he could resolve the issue between his mother and Laci. I really didn't want to be the reason why they would stop talking to each other.There was a knock on my door before it was pushed open. A maid came in carrying my breakfast. "Miss, Prince Henry told me to give you this letter. He said you should get rid of it once you are through reading it." The maid said, bowing.I thanked her and she swiftly left the room. Just as the maid left, I thou
Scarlett's POVIt's been a frustrating month of pretending to be okay with that damn girl. I had to postpone my plans, so I could get everyone's eyes away from me.But I do make occasional visits to the palace. Whenever I came across her, I showed her maximum respect, but I never tried to befriend her. I always had this guilty expression all over my face any time I meet with her or Laci.It wasn't until last week that she started coming out and I kept track of her every move. The place she frequented and every thing I could use to lure her out of the palace.Gradually, their attention was diverted from me and I was relieved. I think I better make preparations before Niyol comes back in a week's time.I had to find a good opportunity to kidnap her and also the suspicion should be directed to someone else. Although I would still go ahead with the plan even if there is no one to pin it on. At least, I won't be the one being suspected.I kept an eye on every little thing in the palace so
Niyole POVIt's been a month since I last saw my mate. I knew I was supposed to be back a little later, but I had to wrap things up quickly to see her."Alpha, what are we going to do about the merger tomorrow? Why don't you just wait till after the contract display? It won't look good if you are not present." Chester tried to convince me to stay back a little."Then should I assume I have no use for you as my beta? Is my presence that important that my right hand man has no right to fill in for me? You know it's just a formality. After all, the contract had been signed. I don't know why they are hosting a party all in the name of display." I said, looking impatient.Chester wanted to say something, but I stopped him," Have mercy on me, man. I haven't seen her for more than one month and you want me to stay back for some lousy party that old man is throwing? You know he is trying to set me up with his daughter. I just don't want to point in the wrong direction. I already have Koko.""
Alpha Niyol's POV"Are you deaf? I asked what the hell happened at the supermarket that made my mate not to come out!" I roared at him. "What the fuck is your job, if you can't give me a detailed explanation on what went wrong within one month of my absence from this palace!"The Butler fell in his knees as he began to narrate everything that had been happening in and out of the palace.By the time he finished with his explanation my eyes had turn dark and fiery. I could feel my wolf howling in anger and pain. How dare they!The Butler and every servant within a radius of the palace were groaning in pain and fear. I was shaking in anger and if I don't control myself soon, I will end up hurting all of them."Find her! Get every guard in and out of this pack to search every nook and cranny! I want her here in the palace!" Releasing my anger, the whole servants in the castle began to whine in pain. I closed my eyes to contain my anger. In frustration I left my chamber, not knowing what
Laci's POVI was so tired after the festivities over the past three days. I hadn't seen Koko for sometime and I was planning to visit her once I rested a little.Attending to guests had drained me off and I felt weak. But I still wanted to see her. After the way my mother treated her that day, I was worried she might still be hurt and broody.I sat on the couch in my room and placed my hands on my head. I didn't know when I slept off. It wasn't until I woke up with a start that I knew I had been sleeping just a while ago.My mind drifted to the nightmare I just had. Although, I didn't see the face of the person but I could feel that there was a connection between us.The person was held captive and pleading to be freed. I woke up feeling heavy in the heart. I hoped it wasn't related to someone I know.I stood up from the couch to go and freshen up. While in the shower, my mind keeps going back to the dream. I shook it off and concentrated on my bath.I finished showering and went to m
Koko's POVI opened my eyes and discovered that I was tied up on a chair. I don't think I slept for long before waking up. I tried to look around to see if there was anyone around, but it seemed there was no one, because the place was a little eerie.As I was trying to find out where I was, the door opened slowly and I perceived a peculiar scent. Isn't this Henry's scent? I tried moving closer, because I was at the extreme of a place that looked like a cottage.The man's voice spoke up first, "We have to move her away as soon as possible. This wasn't part of the plan."The woman responded, her voice shaky, "Of course I know that very well! And I am more panicked than you are! I never expected he would be back today!""Didn't you say he would be back in four days? What fucking happen? Didn't you check his schedule? How can he be back so soon?" He asked."I am also puzzled! I did an investigation on the work he went for and he isn't supposed to be back yet! I even made a call to my spy
