Koko's POVWalking towards the woman we wanted to buy clothes from earlier, I began to hear whispers directed at me."Did you see her? Her eyes are just like a demon's.""Not just a demon, I heard she was cursed too!" "Cursed? What do you mean?""I heard that she was driven from her pack because of the terrible things she had done there.""And she dares come over to our pack to seduce our alpha?""But didn't they say that the alpha called her his mate? It was in the presence of his sentinels."Then a familiar voice said in anger." Who dares to say such nonsense? Who gives you the guts to say that the alpha would call someone like her his mate?"" That's what we heard, madam. The alpha called her his mate!""She is not the mate to the alpha! She bewitched him with her cursed eyes!""I thought so too. Everyone, let no one sell anything to this demon!""Yes, we shouldn't sell anything to her!" I wanted to look at the person with the familiar voice, but because I didn't want them to see

Koko's POVI laid on my bed after Laci left me. My mind was a mess and I didn't know what to do. I had thought of leaving quietly, but my heart couldn't accept that Niyole might have a difficult time again.He had suffered when his first mate died two years ago. If I leave now, wouldn't it be cruel to him?"Oh, goddess! I don't even know what to do! Should I stay or leave? If I stay, his mother would hate me and even the people in the pack would hate me too!""But if I leave, Niyol might not be able to accept another rejection or the pains of being abandoned again. What should I do?"I was just rolling on my bed when the servants came to announce dinner. "Dinner will be served in thirty minutes, Miss. The Queen mother requires your presence in the dining."I really don't want to eat without Laci or Niyol, but it seemed I would have to. That was because Niyol's mother wanted me in the dining room.I wonder what she could be up to now.I quickly went to freshen up before going to the d

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 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

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.""
